Unspoken Rules

Bai Di said, “I was ordered to execute Wen Qian. He deserved to die. I can stand up for myself. I don’t have to worry about being punished.”

Bai Luo was very surprised. “Ordered? By who?”

In order to prevent Bai Luo from being anxious about this, Bai Di told him everything.

Not only had Huanhuan become the successor of the prophet, but Bai Di had also become a divine guard. His soul beast had also risen to 10 stars…

There was too much information. Bai Luo felt like his head was about to explode.

He covered his head and took a long time to digest the information.

“In that case, Huanhuan ordered you to kill Wen Qian, and you’re just the executor. With Huanhuan’s current identity, we shouldn’t be afraid even if the 10,000 Beast Temple comes looking for trouble… Am I right?”

Bai Di nodded. “Yes.”

Bai Luo spun on the spot. “But I still feel like I’m dreaming. When did Huanhuan get involved with the prophet? She was actually acknowledged by the prophet?”

“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you when I’m free in the future. I have to rush to the palace gate to meet Huanhuan and the others.”

Bai Luo said, “I’ll send you off and say a few words to Huanhuan.”

…

Huanhuan’s recovery ability was getting stronger. By the time she reached the palace door, the pain in her body had basically disappeared.

Shuang Jing arrived before them and had been waiting at the palace gate for a while.

Shuang Jing had gotten a wheelchair from somewhere and placed the prophet on it. That way, even if he was alone, he could push the prophet forward. It was much more convenient than a stretcher.

Huanhuan was a little surprised. “Where did you get this wheelchair?”

“I bought it from the market in the city. I heard it’s a new thing from your Rock City. It was extremely expensive. This wheelchair cost me two red crystals.”

If not for the prophet, Shuang Jing would never have been willing to fork out this sum of money.

Huanhuan raised her eyebrows. “As a divine guard, two red crystals are nothing to you, right?”

“Lady Huanhuan, although the title of divine guard sounds arrogant, we don’t get paid a salary, okay? Every crystal I have is my private money that I found a way to earn through other channels. My crystals are very precious!”

Huanhuan couldn’t help but smile. “But you’re still working for free? What a good man!”

“I’m not working for free. The prophet gave us all strength to help us become stronger. No amount of crystals can buy this.”

“You’re right.” Huanhuan paused. “Don’t we still lack a spot among the 12 divine guards? I gave that spot to Bai Di just now. He’s also one of the 12 divine guards now. He’s your colleague. You have to get along well in the future.”

Shuang Jing was very surprised. “In the blink of an eye, you’ve already taken in a new divine guard? You’re too efficient!”

“I was stopped by Wen Qian just now and was almost killed by him. In order to execute Wen Qian, I decided to give the position of divine guard to Bai Di at the last minute. The situation was special, and I didn’t have time to inform you. I hope you can forgive me.”

Shuang Jing frowned. “Wen Qian wanted to kill you? What’s going on?”

In any case, Bai Di was not here yet. Since Huanhuan had nothing to do, she told him about the matter with Wen Qian from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Shuang Jing said without hesitation, “You handled it well. Wen Qian had to die, or the prophet would’ve been in danger.”

“Now that Wen Qian is dead, the Sun God Temple is leaderless. I’m afraid something will happen.”

Shuang Jing didn’t mind. “Just send someone else to take on the position of high priest. In any case, you’re acting as the prophet now. You can handle these small matters.”

The high priest of a medium-sized beast city was an important figure in the eyes of ordinary beasts, but in the eyes of Shuang Jing, it was just a small matter.

Huanhuan was relieved by his relaxed tone.

“I plan to send someone from Rock City to take over the position of high priest of the Sun God Temple.”

“Sure, Rock City is your territory. The people chosen from there will listen to you, and they won’t cause trouble like Wen Qian in the future.”

Huanhuan was a little worried. “Will the Elders’ Association stop us?”

“Those old guys will definitely try to stop you, but it doesn’t matter. Even if they argue, you have the final say. They can’t do anything to you.”

“I’m just afraid they’ll cause trouble in secret.”

“If you’re really worried, you can send a divine guard to keep an eye on them. Once they discover that someone is up to no good, they’ll be restrained. You can deal with them when you get back.”

Huanhuan thought for a moment. “That’s a good idea, but I’m not familiar with the divine guards. There are 12 of them. I only know you and Bai Di now. I’ve never even seen the others.”

Shuang Jing stroked his chin. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll contact them and see if any of them are free to come over and help.”

“Yes, I’ll leave it to you.”

When the two of them were done chatting, Bai Di finally appeared.

Bai Luo came with him.

Shuang Jing circled Bai Di twice and clicked his tongue in wonder. “You just became a divine guard, but your soul beast has risen to ten stars. Impressive!”

Bai Di’s expression didn’t change. “It was just luck.”

“I want such good luck too.” Shuang Jing was especially envious.

Huanhuan smiled and said, “Luck isn’t something you can see or touch. Whether you have it or not, you should accept your fate.”

Shuang Jing pointed at her. “Bai Di has just become a divine guard, but you’re already biased toward him. As time passes, our 11 divine guards will probably be inferior to him. Sigh! It was better when the prophet was around. At least he wasn’t biased.”

“Because I have an unspoken rule with Bai Di. Do you know what an unspoken rule is?”

The simple Shuang Jing indicated that he didn’t understand.

Huanhuan crooked a finger at Bai Di, who bent down and lowered his head. Huanhuan leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. Then, she turned to Shuang Jing and said, “This is called an unspoken rule.”

The single man was forced to bear witness to such a sight.

He howled angrily. “Woof!”

Before setting off, Bai Luo found Huanhuan alone.

“Wen Qian deserved to die, but the Sun God Temple can’t do without a high priest. I have a few suitable candidates here. I hope you can consider them.”

His attitude was good, but Huanhuan still sensed something from his tone.

Huanhuan smiled and said, “Give me the list. I’ll consider it.”

Bai Luo reported three names.

“Two of these three are divine servants of the Sun God Temple. The other is a witch doctor in the city. They’re very capable and experienced.”

Huanhuan nodded. “Yes, I understand.”

Shuang Jing urged, “It’s getting late. We should set off.”

Huanhuan bid farewell to Bai Luo, then climbed onto Bai Di’s back. The group of seven set off for Sun City.
