Chapter 1967: Did He Agree?

"Teacher Dewen knows about this matter; he has considered it carefully and decided to agree to let me go with you," Xueli said earnestly.

"He agreed?" Chen Yu was surprised again; by normal logic, Xueli was a Saintess within the Pope.

Under normal circumstances, she would not leave the Pope; this time, he actually agreed to let Xueli leave the Pope?

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can verify it with him at any time," Xueli smiled slightly.

"Alright, I believe you," Chen Yu nodded. "Since Dewen has agreed to this matter, I have nothing more to say. We shall travel together when the time comes," Chen Yu said.

"That's good, then it's settled. I believe that with Mr. Chen's status, it is impossible for you to go back on your word, right?" Xueli said with a faint smile.

"Of course not, I have always been a man of my word," Chen Yu said solemnly.

An'er and Zhaka have now reached an agreement, and the two old friends probably have a lot to talk about.

Yizhou might be in chaos for a while, because the death of Samuer is bound to cause a certain sensation.

But these matters have nothing to do with Chen Yu anymore; he started the car and took Xueli away.

"How is the Pope now? There should still be many internal problems, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"There are indeed quite a few," Xueli nodded slightly and said, "Because many people feel that Dewen is not qualified to succeed as the Lord of the Pope, so many missionaries now oppose him, and some even go to extremes."

"This is also considered normal. The Pope is so large, and the internal personnel are extremely complex; there will definitely be people who oppose," Chen Yu said. "If not handled well, the interior of the Pope might even split."

"I believe in Teacher Dewen; he will definitely be able to handle this matter well," Xueli smiled and said. "He still has prestige within the Pope; most people are just being incited."

Just as Xueli finished speaking, there was a 'bang' sound, the car engine died, and the headlights dimmed.

"What's going on?" Xueli frowned slightly.

"The car has a problem." Chen Yu got out of the car, looked at the car body, and glanced around, discovering that this place was a tunnel.

Because it had been in disrepair for years, the tunnel looked dilapidated, and in some places, rusty steel bars were even exposed.

Moreover, inside the tunnel, there were gravels that had rolled down from the mountain.

Chen Yu was somewhat speechless; if this kind of tunnel were in the country, it would probably have been classified as a dangerous structure, right?

Yizhou's industry developed relatively early, but precisely because of this, their infrastructure is somewhat old.

So many places look dilapidated; compared to the thriving development momentum in the country, this place is far behind.

"Then let's walk back," Xueli said. "Passing through the tunnel, it's not far ahead to reach Yizhou."

"Don't go in." Just as Xueli was about to enter the tunnel, Chen Yu suddenly felt something was wrong, and he stopped Xueli.

"What's wrong?" Xueli looked at Chen Yu in surprise, not understanding what had happened.

"The car was fine, how could it break down?" Sending out his Divine Sense, Chen Yu probed the surroundings, and he couldn't help but smile: "It seems some friends don't want us to go home so early, right?"

"You mean, someone is attacking us?" Xueli understood Chen Yu's meaning; she grabbed with her right hand, and two thorn-shaped weapons appeared in her hands.

She looked around vigilantly, sending out her Mind Power, but her Mind Power did not detect anything.

She couldn't help but look at Chen Yu with some doubt; she was even wondering if Chen Yu had made a mistake.

"Friends, since you've come, then come out. Hiding like this is meaningless," Chen Yu said toward the depths of the tunnel.

He shouted for a long time, but no one replied. A moment later, a man wearing a black robe walked out from inside the tunnel.

The person stopped in front of the two, then this person took off his hat and slowly raised his head.

"It's you, Degula?" Xueli's expression changed slightly; she recognized the person in front of her.

This person was a traitor to the Pope; because some of the things he advocated ran counter to the Pope's philosophy, after being rejected, his temperament changed drastically, and he went around killing people.

So Old Ivan threw him into Tianlao, but he later escaped from Tianlao and swore that as long as he was alive, he would never let the Pope have an easy time.

"Hehe, when I was expelled from the Pope, you were only ten years old. Now, most of the old batch of people in the Pope have gone to see the True Lord; it's rare that there is still someone who remembers me," Degula said with a chuckle.

"Of course I remember, and I also remember all your crimes," Xueli said sternly. "After your philosophy was rejected, you actually killed people to vent your anger. You once slaughtered a town, not even sparing the old and the children inside. You are a Demon; the True Lord will not let you go."

"Is that so? But can the True Lord still hear the voices in this world? I feel he can no longer hear them."

Degula said with a chuckle: "Ivan, that hypocritical thing, when I was there, I proposed that our Pope should draw power from Dark Creatures, but at that time he righteously refused me."

"But not long after driving me out of the Pope, he walked down this path himself. He really is hypocritical."

"Ivan has already gone to see the True Lord; he realized that his actions were wrong, so, the dead are the greatest. Degula, please don't bring up the past anymore; no matter what, he paid the price for his mistakes," Xue Wei sighed slightly and said.

"Haha, he died, so this matter is just over? You all just act as if this never happened?" Degula sneered: "To him, maybe he just made a mistake, but to me, my life was changed."

"After I left the Pope, no one was willing to take me in because I was a traitor to the Pope, so I could only go far into the deep mountains, living with wild beasts, living a life without seeing the light of day. Do you know how much damage this caused me? Have you ever cared?"

"Degula... I know the damage you suffered cannot be compensated for by a few words, but your thinking is wrong. Ivan was not wrong to drive you away back then; it was just that later he made the same mistake as you," Xueli said. "So, let it go."

"Let it go? Since I have appeared, do you think I can easily let it go?" Degula laughed out loud: "I came here today for you."

"Degula, we are not enemies," Xueli shook her head and said. "I don't know what your purpose is in finding us, but I feel that things between us shouldn't have been like this."

"And you should also let go of the past, instead of holding onto the previous grievances and grudges."
