Chapter 2028: I Support This Plan
"Xueli, you know that I was the very first person to oppose this plan." The expression on Andelie's face gradually faded, and he said coldly, "I don't care who it is, no one can proceed with this plan."
"Then what if I support this plan?" Xueli slowly raised her head and looked at Andelie.
"Xueli, what are you saying? Have you gone mad?" Andelie was startled. "You know better than I do how dangerous it is inside. Are you really willing to gamble for the sake of this matter?"
"I am not gambling, and I would never make a joke of my own life." Xueli slowly shook her head and said, "I am going to solve the problem."
"Andelie," Xueli said, "you understand better than I do how terrifying the Werewolf Clan is. If they ever lose control, the consequences will be extremely grave."
"Back then, the Pope drove them to the Snow Plains, but after thousands of years of recuperation, their tribe has become extraordinarily powerful."
"Even if their bloodline is not so pure for certain reasons, do you know what consequences will occur if these people break into the crowd?"
"I guard this place precisely to hold the last line of defense for Yizhou." Andelie's expression was complex, and he muttered, "For this, I can cast aside everything I have."
"I know better than anyone how terrifying the Werewolf Clan will be once they break through the Snow Plains, so the scenario you described is the last thing I want to see, because if those things happen, it means I have already sacrificed everything for the Pope."
"So Andelie, now we have a chance to venture in, why don't we try it?" Xueli looked at Andelie earnestly. "Chen Yu's strength is greater than any of ours."
"He is willing to accompany me to adventure in the Snow Plains, so what are you worried about?"
Andelie's lips trembled; he was moved. Yes, Chen Yu would not make a joke of his own life, would he? The reason he was like this was because he had confidence in himself. Since that was the case, why not give it a try?
"Do you... have selfish motives?" Andelie gritted his teeth and finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask. "Why are you helping us so tirelessly?"
Yes, he had learned about Chen Yu from the sidelines and knew that he had been in Yizhou during this time; he had participated in many matters.
It could be said that if not for Chen Yu, the Pope would have already fallen into darkness, and perhaps this world would have fallen into a Dark Era.
Chen Yu came here and changed all of this.
He did not believe there was such an unselfish person in this world, because every one of Chen Yu's actions was extremely dangerous. This made Andelie very confused; he did not understand what Chen Yu was actually after.
"If I said I was just doing it for fun, would you believe me?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"I don't believe you." Andelie shook his head.
"Then you don't need to ask, really." Chen Yu said, "I stay here, and naturally I have my reasons for staying here."
"But I cannot tell you the reason directly, though I can responsibly say that I have no malicious intent."
"As for what you all think, I don't really care. If you don't agree to this plan, that's fine. I will head home after finishing my own business, and in all likelihood, I won't come back again. When problems that cannot be solved arise then, you can solve them yourselves."
Andelie stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a single word.
Chen Yu did not owe them anything, and he also knew that Chen Yu must have his own purpose for doing this.
But he did not know what Chen Yu's true purpose was. However, if Chen Yu could lend the Pope a helping hand, wouldn't the threat of the Wolf Clan, which had been lurking in the Snow Plains for thousands of years, be easily resolved?
"Andelie." Xueli looked at him with a pleading expression. "I trust Chen Yu. He may have his own affairs, but without him, no one can complete that impossible task."
Andelie pondered for a long time, then he turned back and said, "Give me some time to think it over carefully."
"Fine, but you had better be quick; I don't have time to wait." Chen Yu said leisurely, "If you really can't send anyone, I'll just go to the Snow Plains by myself."
"Everyone under the Pope has faith in their hearts." Andelie said, "Please rest assured, after I have considered this matter, I will send someone to go with you."
"No need to consider others; if you have made up your mind, I will just accompany Chen Yu," Xueli said resolutely.
"Xueli... are you serious?" Andelie's expression was complex. He knew how dangerous this matter was, but he was unwilling to let Xueli take this risk.
"Believe me, no one is more suitable than I am to do this," Xueli said earnestly.
At night, Andelie knelt in the vast cathedral, listening to the midnight bell toll. He slowly raised his head, looking at the face of the True Lord above, which was neither sad nor happy, and he sighed slightly.
"True Lord, can you tell me what to do?"
There was no response; only the silence of the deep night accompanied him. He slowly closed his eyes, then turned around with a dejected expression.
He had not received a response from the True Lord for a long time, and this time was the same.
He truly did not know what to do about this matter, and within the Pope's organization, he could no longer find anyone to discuss things with.
He was not worried that the mission would fail, but rather that this time, the person going was Xueli.
To him, Xueli was almost like a daughter. Even though she had not stayed at the Pope's headquarters for these years, seeing her again, Andelie still felt very close to her.
Sometimes fate is truly magical, so when Xueli had to face danger, Andelie was unwilling to let her take the risk.
The cathedral door opened, and Xueli slipped inside. Looking at Andelie, who was sitting on the steps and seemed to have aged several decades, she also sighed slightly.
She walked to Andelie's side and said with a smile, "Andelie, you seem to have some insomnia tonight?"
"Hehe, how did you know I was here?" Andelie raised his head and said with a smile.
"I have known you had this habit since I was very young." Xueli sat down beside Andelie and said with a smile, "When you encounter something you cannot decide, you go to ask the True Lord."
"Because you have no one in the Pope's organization you can discuss things with, right?"
"Right." Andelie nodded with deep feeling and said, "This habit has been kept until now and has never changed."
"Not many people know I have this habit; even my disciples don't know. I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly."
