229 The Church of Healing is Playing A Big Game of Chess (II)
‘Why did they use the Professional Alliance to test my combat data in advance?’
‘Isn’t that a waste of time?’
‘If they want to kill me, they’ll do it themselves. Two level 50 Professionals are terrifyingly powerful, and they can leave as they please. No one can stop them.’
‘Why would they leave this opportunity to those low-leveled otherworldly creatures?’
‘What if it backfired on them?’
He suddenly felt as though the water seemed deeper than it seemed.
‘Is the Church of Healing playing a big game of chess?’
There was a long silence between them.
“Actually,” The mayfly witch suddenly said, “You don’t need to think too hard about this.”
“Since the people from the Church of Healing didn’t do it themselves, it means that they have some concerns. They either want to use the Professionals from the eight planes to test your combat data, or they can’t kill you with their own hands.”
“Now that the assassination has failed, they can’t do anything to you with the protection of the Professional Alliance.”
“Aish…” Lin Ye sighed, “How can I not think too much?”
“They’re not only targeting me now but also the rest of the human race.”
“If we are not careful, the front line will collapse, and the Black Beast Alliance army will break into our territory. They will kill countless of our people like the dark wave incident.”
“Oh, little brother~” The mayfly witch blinked her eyes playfully.
“You don’t have to beat around the bush,”
“If you want Big Sister’s help, just say so. Although I can’t mobilize the power of our plane’s countries, it’s not a problem to mobilize my own witch clan!”
Lin Ye couldn’t say a word.
The mayfly witch gently stroked her hair.
“In fact, even though I haven’t seen you for four months, I’ve been paying attention to your little girlfriend and your plane world.”
“And the Black Beast Alliance’s dimensional army has never been able to break through the human’s dimensional line of defense. Surely you don’t think… that was all thanks to your human powerhouses?”
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you going to come and thank your Big Sister?”
Lin Ye was left speechless for a few seconds before he regained his bearings.
“No. Although I’m very grateful for your actions, can’t you change how you address me?”
“It’s really weird for you to call me ‘Little Brother’, especially in that tone,”
“I asked you to change it before, but you refused and kept calling me that. I’m used to it, so I’ll let it go.”
“Now, in front of Su Mumu, you call me Little Brother and even dragged her into the water, calling her Little Girlfriend… Do you like to call others ‘Little’ so much?”
“So my suggestion is, you might as well give yourself a name, Big Bear.”
Although he knew that the mayfly witch wouldn’t change her mind, Lin Ye still couldn’t help but say, “Please call me by my name.”
“Don’t call me Little Brother anymore.”
“Also, Su Mumu isn’t my girlfriend. Don’t call her Little Girlfriend. Please call her by her name, okay?”
“This is the most basic courtesy.”
“I don’t care.” The mayfly witch turned her head arrogantly, “I’m from a higher civilization.”
“If you’re not satisfied with how I address you, you can fight me one-on-one. And until you can defeat me and prove your strength, I’ll call you whatever I want.”
The mayfly witch looked at Su Mumu, whose face was burning with embarrassment, with a smirk.
“That includes your Little Girlfriend. If you win, I’ll call her whatever you want me to call her. I’ll definitely follow your request”
Lin Ye was quiet as he let her challenge sink into his mind.
‘Beat you?’
‘Your level is displayed as three question marks. Even the system can’t measure it. You’re at least level 100, and you want me to beat you?’
‘Forget it.’
‘Since you’ve taken the initiative to help me twice, I’ll let you go.’
‘You can call me whatever you like.’
After a pause, Lin Ye looked at the mayfly witch.
“In other words, other than coming here to get the ‘final result’ from the inheritance trial, you’re here to inform me that the people from the Church of Healing have their eyes on me and to warn me to be careful of them?”
“Yep,” The mayfly witch unabashedly admitted, “I’m here to help you, Little Brother.”
“Are you touched?”
He ignored her and asked another question, “Then, can you help me get rid of the people sent by the Church of Healing that were sent to observe me?”
“That’s impossible.” The mayfly witch replied without pausing to think, “I can’t beat them. At most, I can hold them back. If I go too far, they’ll destroy the witch clan that I’ve worked so hard to cultivate in just a few days.”
“I don’t want all my years of hard work and effort to go to waste.”
“Didn’t you say that Su Mumu is the ‘Lucky Star’ of other advanced civilizations?” Lin Ye asked.
“Just like the Black Beast Alliance, we can form an alliance of advanced civilizations and destroy the base of the Church of Healing. Isn’t that just what’s all there is to it?”
“Are you sure about that?” The mayfly witch glanced at him, “Do you want me to expose the existence of the Bionic Tear?”
“Once the word spreads, even if the other advanced civilizations agree that the Church of Healing is doing something wrong, they might not dare to go against them. Instead, they will come and stare at your Little Girlfriend every day, waiting for the world of Eldon to appear….”
“Besides,”
“The Church of Healing’s current target is you, not your Little Girlfriend. If the higher civilizations want to protect her, they only need to take her away from you.”
“They won’t protect someone who’s of no value to them and may even affect their status.”
“They might even help the Church of Healing to backstab you.”
Lin Ye squinted his eyes.
“Then why did you come to help me?”
“I don’t believe that you’re just trying to get information on a Godslayer-level reward without even knowing what it is.”
The mayfly witch chuckled, “Do you even need to think about this?”
“Of course it’s to invest in a potential stock like you in advance!”
“I don’t care about the Hive-like Godkiller reward at all. It’s just an excuse that I can give you.”
“Oh.”
“There’s another reason.”
“You remind me of my younger brother.”
“Both of your personalities and features are similar too. Both of you have a lot of secrets you keep close to your heart and refuse to tell anyone. You prefer to keep your problems to yourself and would rather bear it alone.”
“Since you think I’m your brother, then help me kill those two level 50 Church of Healing members who follow me every day.” Lin Ye said.
“If it were you, you can crush them like you’re press ants,”
The mayfly witch revealed a ‘kind’ smile, “Hehe.”
“Stop fantasizing.”
“Although I like you, I’m not willing to give up everything for you.”
“As for that Little Girlfriend of yours, she went against everyone’s wishes and ventured deep into the dangerous Hive-like World alone to find you. She bet her future on you, and yet, she’s still not officially a member of the family?”
Lin Ye and Su Mumu couldn’t say anything.
Seeing this, the mayfly witch helplessly shrugged her shoulders and sighed. “Forget it. It’s better for you young people to deal with your own matters.”
“I won’t disturb you two anymore.”
“Bye.”
As she spoke, the mayfly witch’s clone took out a Returning Bone and crushed it into countless energy light spots. Then, she quickly retreated from the Hive-like area, not giving Lin Ye a chance to stop her.
However…
Lin Ye didn’t need to keep her anymore.
The mayfly witch had clearly expressed her stance.
She would help Lin Ye and the Human Professional Alliance to the best of her ability as an investment for creatures from a higher civilization to creatures from a lower civilization.
However, she refused to spend her resources for her investment and would not take the risk to go head to head with the terrifying Church of Healing.
This meant that…
As long as the Church of Healing’s goal was always on Lin Ye and not conquering the human world, then, the mayfly witch would secretly help the Professionals at the front line to resist the invasion of the Black Beast Alliance’s army and give Lin Ye enough time to grow and develop.
The only thing Lin Ye needed to worry about now was the next round of assassinations from the Black Beast Alliance and the unpredictable members of the Church of Healing.
Would they suddenly attack him?
‘As expected, I think it’s better for me to go to Yanan’s realm as soon as possible,’
‘The Moon Goddess…’
‘I have to figure out what she’s planning—’
As he was thinking, Su Mumu interjected adorably, “What did she just say?”
“What Church of Healing? What is the Black Beast Alliance? What assassination, what advanced civilization’s Lucky Star? I don’t understand a single thing.”
(.?_?)
“You don’t understand?” Lin Ye turned to look at her.
“Well, nevermind,”
“Let’s take down the Hive-like Boss first.”
“When we return to the main world tonight, I’ll slowly tell you the whole story. Anyway, with your current strength and identity, it’s better for you to know these things.”
