Chapter 1434: Chapter 1015: High-Level Game

"You’ll know when you get there!" Wu Heng winked at her.

Xi Ligui frowned slightly, suspecting he was up to some mischief.

Creak~!

The door was gently pushed open, and Shi Yali returned from outside.

"Mr. Sim has already arranged everything." Shi Yali tidied up the tea set used by Sim while curiously observing the two, "What are you talking about? You’re so happy!"

"Wu Heng said the Island Lord’s Mansion has cats that can dance and invited us to watch the show." Xi Ligui said.

Shi Yali glanced at Wu Heng, flashed a smile, and said, "I’ve never seen dancing cats either! Let’s check it out tonight!"

Xi Ligui said, "There’s a welcome banquet at the tavern for Sim, will time be sufficient?"

By convention, she, as the Steward, was in charge of welcoming the key figures sent by the headquarters.

Over time, Xi Ligui gradually became adept at participating, unlike at the beginning when she was uninterested.

After all, they couldn’t possibly let Wu Heng, the Hero, greet every newcomer, right?

"The banquet won’t take long, we’ll head over once it’s done." Shi Yali said with a smile.

"Alright then!" Xi Ligui folded her arms and lifted her chin towards Wu Heng, "If your cats don’t dance... you’ll have to dance for us!"

"Ew~! Xi Ligui, I can’t believe you’re into this...," Wu Heng looked at her in disbelief.

Shi Yali chuckled, "Oh dear! Xi Ligui’s secret has been discovered."

Xi Ligui squinted her eyes, "What are you two smirking at...? I’m going to hit someone, Ao~!"

Amidst their laughter, Shi Yali suddenly remembered, "Oh right, Mother wrote saying she wants to arrange marriages for us, after all, we’re at that age."

"What?" Wu Heng nearly choked on his tea, "You guys didn’t mention our relationship?"

Xi Ligui spread her hands helplessly, "How do we even bring it up? Both of us are good with you, you men can say it, but how do we start?"

"If you don’t, you’ll just be arranged into a marriage!"

Shi Yali sighed lightly, "If we speak up, word might get out, and there’s a strong chance Xi Ligui will be transferred, making it even harder for us to meet."

Initially, it wasn’t mentioned because a romance between Elf Nobles and humans would definitely face opposition.

Now it can’t be mentioned, mainly because Wu Heng is a Hero and Xi Ligui is a Steward of the association.

With the current association policies, if word gets out, headquarters might find an excuse to transfer them.

"Just tell your family not to say anything." Wu Heng suggested.

Xi Ligui raised three fingers, "My mom will definitely spill the beans, she’ll hold it in for most three days...."

"Um...," Wu Heng’s expression froze.

Shi Yali also smiled and said, "We’ve already discussed this and will write home saying we fell in love on Gold and Silver Island, to buy some time."

Xi Ligui nodded as well.

Wu Heng said, "That could work, if not, then just don’t be a Steward anymore."

Xi Ligui’s brow furrowed, "I’ve finally become a Steward, and you suggest I just quit."

"If there’s really no other way."

Xi Ligui said, "We’ll see when the time comes. For now, let’s just reply like this."

Wu Heng nodded, chatted with the sisters a bit more, and after setting the plans for the evening, he returned first to the Island Lord’s Mansion to prepare.

...

Return to the Island Lord’s Mansion.

The living room was empty. Shanaela had gone to the Church, Annette was in the city hall, and the others were in the training room.

Everyone was diligently training.

On the sofa, holding a phone, looking at the photos Wen Mansha sent of her daughter, and replying to messages.

Fortunately, he had modern equipment; otherwise, with the distance between Lundham City and Gold and Silver Island, it would take a month to exchange one letter back and forth.

It would be hard to maintain feelings.

Thud, thud, thud~!

Footsteps approached, and the Lady controlling the puppet came from the courtyard. Sitting opposite, she said, "Last night, I went to see Liz in a dream again—the pregnant woman at the Holy Hall, she’s already with the association."

"So the local Steward is quite reliable, keeping her safe." Wu Heng’s tone was a bit surprised.

After all, over there is the main city of The Holy Court, the entire city is filled with fervent believers, even children are indoctrinated with faith-first education.

The influence of the association there is like planting flowers on a volcano’s edge, one careless move and it could all be burned away.

If killed by local residents, the association couldn’t even pursue it.

Sending the Leader Order to the other side was essentially a last-ditch effort, and it turned out well enough for now.

"She is safe." The Lady continued, "But according to Liz, the association promised The Holy Court to only detain the person and not conduct any form of inquiry."

I see.

It’s like a tacit agreement, with the association presenting a business-as-usual attitude while The Holy Court tacitly permits them to take the pregnant woman away.

If the local Steward showed any intention to investigate, what they’d send out might not be a living person but a body impossible to perform even Wenshi on.

Wu Heng picked up his phone, "I’ll text Lilith to see if there’s a way to get her out."

"Alright!"

After the message was sent, two or three minutes later, Lilith’s reply popped up, "I’ll assess the situation and help if possible."

Wu Heng replied with an ’okay’ and relayed the content to the Lady.

The Lady nodded, "Lilith treats you quite well."

Wu Heng didn’t pick up on that topic but focused on her, saying, "I’m actually starting to doubt whether what’s written on the Stele about you enchanting kings is true."

The Lady looked up at him, "Why bring that up?"

"Just wondering." Wu Heng shrugged, "With your personality, it doesn’t seem like you could do anything terribly bad."

The Lady leaned forward, "People can change! Maybe after thousands of years, I’ve already reformed?"
