Chapter 69: A Deal

Seeing Shanshan's speechless appearance, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the High Priest's mouth, which was fleeting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Girl, even if you want to save your friend so much, I'll give you a chance, I'll help you with this!" The High Priest finally uttered the words.

"What?" Shanshan's eyes lit up, she saw infinite hope, and her joy could not be concealed, and then she quickly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, High Priest!" Thank you, High Priest! You're so much! ...ā€

The high priest waved his hand and said slowly, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I am not helping you in vain, I am conditional!" I don't like to owe favors to others, and I don't like others to owe me favors, I just like to trade, equal and voluntary, and no one owes anyone afterwards! Clear and clear! Very good! ā€

Shanshan was stunned for a moment, she had never thought about the content of the transaction, but she quickly reacted and quickly agreed, "As long as the High Priest is willing to help us, no matter what the conditions, as long as I can do it, I will agree!" ā€

The high priest smiled, "Girl, you are very motivated, I like it very much, well, I will definitely try my best to help you save that boy, you can rest assured!" ā€

"Thank you, High Priestess, what are your conditions?" Shanshan asked earnestly.

The High Priest didn't speak in a hurry, but just looked at Sansa meaningfully, his eyes revealing endless deep meaning.

……

Towards noon, Sansa finally came down from the cliff, holding the Spirit-Calling Lamp that the High Priest had given her to use to collect souls, as well as a spell manual.

Shanshan trembled and trembled, and her mind was full of the high priest's bright and incomprehensible eyes.

Shanshan couldn't believe herself, she actually agreed to the high priest's terms, and after agreeing, she was a little worried about whether she would be able to do it, which was indeed a difficult thing to do.

"Forget it, don't care about those things for now, the most important thing at the moment is to revive the flame, maybe there is a better way to deal with that matter, think slowly!" Shanshan tried to comfort herself and calm herself, this was the first time in her life that she had to make a decision that went against her heart, and she was not sure whether it was right or wrong to do so. But the heart that saves the flame triumphs over all reason.

In the evening, she returned to the Coral Palace to meet Lady Lu Jue.

Seeing Shanshan come back safely, Mrs. Lu Jue let go of her high hanging heart, she didn't sleep all night, and spent the whole day in a nervous mood, seeing that Shanshan finally relaxed.

"You kid, it's getting more and more disagreeable, come as you say, leave as you say, so that I'm not prepared at all, have you considered my feelings? I'm worried about you! Lady Lu Jue began to babble in Shanshan's ear again, but Shanshan did not answer, but just gobbled up the food on the table.

Mrs. Lu Jue sighed, habitually helping Shanshan with soup, towels, and food, and Shanshan enjoyed her aunt's care with peace of mind.

After eating for a while, Shanshan remembered something, suddenly stopped, wiped her mouth with a towel, and looked at her aunt with a serious face.

"What's wrong, kid? Are you full? Lady Lu Jue looked at Shanshan tenderly, and raised her hand to help her remove the food scraps from her body.

"Auntie, if I do something wrong, will you hate me?" Shanshan asked without confidence, as if she had really done something wrong.

Mrs. Lu Jue smiled slightly, and said disapprerovingly: "You are already an adult, I will no longer supervise you as a child as before, and urge you not to make mistakes; In fact, even in the adult world, it is still impossible to avoid not making mistakes in life, but we must have a correct mentality, we can make fewer mistakes, if it is really unavoidable, or make mistakes, then we must learn to face it bravely, bravely bear the consequences, this is the responsibility that we adults should have! Don't be afraid if you're wrong, try to make up for it if you can't make it up, just let him go and accept it calmly! It's not a big deal! ...ā€

Sansa was silent, her eyes lowered, lost in her own thoughts.

Mrs. Lu Jue looked at Shanshan's slightly melancholy expression, thinking that she was still worried about escaping the marriage.

"Shanshan, since you have chosen this path, don't look back, look forward, no matter what the future holds, no matter where you go, your aunt will be on your side and support you. We are forever loved ones! Lady Lu Jue stroked Shanshan's hair as a sign of comfort.

Shanshan raised her head and looked at Mrs. Lu Jue, who was kind and gentle as water, and her heart was warm and infinitely dependent; Because her aunt was waiting for her, she didn't close her eyes for a day and a night, her face was extremely haggard, and Shanshan's heart hurt.

Since the last time she was a wedding messenger, away from the Holy Spirit Forest, after experiencing the escape from marriage, Shanshan seems to have grown up a lot, and her feelings for Mrs. Lu Jue have undergone subtle changes, and she finds that she suddenly doesn't want to leave her aunt, and wants to stay by her side obediently, be her good child, and let her feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Sanshan's tears flowed.

When Mrs. Lu Jue saw it, Shanshan actually cried, and she was a little at a loss for a while, not knowing what was happening.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? ā€

Shanshan's heart was in a mess, she wiped her tears indiscriminately, she didn't want Mrs. Lu Jue to worry, and desperately squeezed out a smile.

"I'm fine, it's just that I haven't been home for too long, I miss my aunt so much, I really don't want to leave you!"

When Mrs. Lu Jue heard her say this, she suddenly smiled ambiguously, "You stupid boy, don't leave me in the future, I'm afraid that after a long time, you will be tired of my old woman!" ...ā€

Sansa burst into tears and laughed, she wanted to say something more but couldn't.

Actually, after Shanshan finished this dinner, she had to leave, she still had a lot of things to do, she couldn't tell her aunt that she was leaving, she was afraid that her aunt would beg her to stay, she was afraid of that scene. She has to move forward, even if there is no return ahead, even if there is a cliff ahead, she has to move forward, she can't turn back.

……

Late at night, after her aunt had fallen asleep, Shanshan quietly went out with the spirit lamp.

"I'm sorry, aunt!" Shanshan looked at her aunt's room affectionately, and disappeared into the night for a long time.
