Chapter 13 Holy Maiden Hu Liena
Meanwhile, the central area of Nuoding City.
Spirit Branch Hall.
This originally magnificent building had long since turned into ruins and broken walls. The dome had been overturned, the walls washed away, and only a very small part of the auxiliary buildings remained intact.
The culprit causing all this was naturally Zhou Chen.
"All this was caused when that child awakened his spirit?"
An effeminate voice slowly sounded. Looking out, a man wearing exquisite golden body armor with an equally exquisite and bewitching face was walking amidst the ruins.
"Yes, yes, Elder."
Beside the bewitching man, an old man in black bishop robes bowed halfway, speaking with a stutter.
He was the Bishop in Black of the Nuoding Spirit Branch Hall, the Rank 47 Spirit Ancestor Cassis.
At this moment, he looked terrified, like an elementary school student ready to be scolded at any time.
One could not blame Cassis for this; it was simply that this bewitching man's status was too noble.
Member of the Spirit Hall Elder Council, loyal supporter of the Pope, Title Douluo. Any of these three identities was enough to make this small Spirit Ancestor feel like a giant mountain was pressing down on him!
Hearing Cassis's fearful answer, the bewitching man frowned and said in the same effeminate voice: "Have you figured out that child's identity?"
"This... no. The deacon responsible for awakening the spirit, Su Yuntao, accepted gold spirit coins to awaken the spirit for that child alone. Therefore, he did not register that child's name in the book, nor did he ask for the child's name."
Pausing, Cassis braced himself and said: "Later, after that child's spirit awakened, the powerful spirit power pressure instantly knocked him unconscious..."
Cassis panicked more as he spoke, and finally, his knees went soft and he knelt directly.
After all, Su Yuntao's behavior could be said to be gross negligence. As his superior, he, the bishop, also bore unshirkable responsibility.
Sure enough, after listening to Cassis's explanation, the bewitching man was instantly furious and shouted sternly and coldly: "How do you act as a bishop? Where is your brain? Also, immediately execute that Su Yuntao. Spirit Hall does not need such a useless person!"
"Elder Chrysanthemum, you must not!"
A crisp voice sounded. The next second, a young girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, with an absolutely beautiful face and a nearly perfect figure, appeared in front of the two.
The girl wore a golden dress covered by a pure white cloak embroidered with the symbol of Spirit Hall. Paired with her smooth golden hair, she looked just like a green lotus and white lotus root that emerged from the mud unstained.
"Your Highness the Holy Maiden."
The moment he saw the girl, Cassis immediately prostrated on the ground.
It was not that he was too cowardly, but that the young girl before him named Hu Liena was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, the disciple of His Holiness the Pope!
The bewitching man's expression also turned from cloudy to sunny, and he smiled: "Girl, what suggestion do you have?"
"We cannot kill Su Yuntao; this person is still useful."
Hu Liena spoke slowly, her beautiful eyes full of strange charm flickering with light.
"Oh? Let's hear it."
Hu Liena smiled slightly and said slyly: "Teacher has long considered this situation. She specifically assigned us a Spirit Master possessing the Five-Colored Paintbrush spirit. That Spirit Master has a talent spirit skill, which is the ability to accurately depict a person's appearance based on others' descriptions!"
"Therefore, as long as we let Su Yuntao describe that child's appearance based on his memory, then we can follow the image to track him down, and sooner or later we will be able to find him!"
"Good idea."
The bewitching man nodded, looked at Cassis kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Go. I give you two hours. Bring the portrait to me!"
"Yes, this subordinate will go handle it immediately."
Cassis hurriedly stood up and left scrambling.
He had heard of this effeminate Elder's ruthlessness. If he could not complete the portrait within the stipulated time, his head would likely fall to the ground!
After Cassis left, the bewitching man turned his head, looked at Hu Liena gently, and suddenly exclaimed: "Girl, you broke through Rank 30?"
"Mn, I just broke through today. I haven't had time to tell you yet." Hu Liena lowered her head with a hint of shyness and said.
"That is great! A Rank 30 Spirit Master at only twelve years old. Worthy of being one of our Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. His Holiness the Pope will definitely be happy for you too."
The bewitching man nodded appreciatively and continued: "Then in these few days, I will take you to the nearby Spirit Hunting Forest to help you obtain the best thousand-year spirit ring!"
"Many thanks, Elder Chrysanthemum."
Hu Liena smiled sweetly. As she turned, she inadvertently emitted a strange charm. The strength of that charm was such that even Elder Chrysanthemum, whose orientation was widely different, could not help but feel dizzy for a moment...
Soon, two hours passed.
Zhou Chen's portrait also landed in Hu Liena's hands on time.
Seeing the handsome and peerless young boy in the portrait, Hu Liena's heart could not help but stir slightly, and she subconsciously said: "He is actually quite good-looking..."
