Four Split Personalities

[Others?]

Motan instinctively frowned. Since shortly after he fell into the pit, he had encountered a certain Her Highness the Saintess. Whenever he was in his ’absolute neutrality’ personality, he was either flustered, fighting frantically against zombies and heretics, or worrying about his relationship with someone. Thus, he had actually overlooked many things he shouldn’t have.

For example...

"Let me give an example."

Elisa smiled, pointing at Motan with a grin, "Suppose, Hei Fan, you are not just a common Priest of the Church of the Dawn, but a common citizen of the Griffin Dynasty. Then, after some twists of fate, you display that talent unique to you. Soon, you would receive invitations from many places, including the Royal Family. Ignoring those superficial gestures, everyone’s goal would be the same — to make you, a talented young person with a promising future, one of their own."

Yizou nodded deeply, agreeing, "Yes, Senior is very welcome wherever he goes."

Elisa chuckled, nodding slightly, "That’s right, Jerrett. Hei Fan would indeed be welcome, but..."

"But that may not be a good thing."

While tidying his priest robe, Daylight Black spoke softly, "Because while welcoming, striving for, and pulling him to their side, those people also have to consider what to do if someone like Hei Fan gets pulled to the opposite side."

Yu Chen instinctively tugged on Motan’s sleeve.

"Exactly, Little Black is entirely correct."

Elisa held the boy’s hand while playfully tickling his palm, "This crisis consciousness has nothing to do with Hei Fan’s own will but is an essential quality for a superior. Even if the person in question just wants a peaceful life now, they have to consider what to do if the other party changes their mind one day in the future and stands on their opposite side."

Black’s expression looked somewhat gloomy. He exchanged a look with Hei Fan — one that only they (though Yizou and Yu Chen also understood) could decipher — and spoke bitterly, "Indeed, something like this has happened already..."

"Oh? It seems there are some details I don’t know about."

Elisa laughed with interest, spreading her hands, "But that’s not important. What’s important is, Hei Fan, you must understand that even though you might escape once or twice, you cannot keep escaping forever."

Motan’s expression was immediately covered with gloom, muttering, "Yes, who wouldn’t agree..."

Clearly, his thoughts were drifting elsewhere.

However, Elisa, unaware that the thoughts of the person before her had gone astray, continued speaking earnestly, "I don’t understand the operational mechanism of your Holy Church Union, but in the Griffin Dynasty, if someone like Hei Fan has no background, the only thing low profile and avoidance can bring is extinction; it’s only a matter of time."

"Is it because...everyone thinks the Senior is excellent but can’t get him, so they’d rather find ways to eliminate him?"

Even the straightforward Yizou understood the idea Elisa was trying to convey by now.

The Holy Church Union is not the Griffin Dynasty!

If it were the past Yizou, she might have proudly refuted Elisa at this point.

However, soon after the expedition to Sumer, she experienced a vile and dirty conspiracy firsthand. Although they barely survived thanks to Motan’s efforts and a bit of luck, they paid a huge sacrifice and left a deep shadow in Yizou’s heart.

Perhaps before returning to the City of Light, the Female Knight still felt that all this was the personal action of that Golden Crown Chief Priest. But ever since, by chance, she was brought by Xia Lian to secretly overhear Black and Motan’s ’private chat,’ Yizou understood the whole story.

In simple terms, the minority in the Sun Sect feared that after the Church of the Dawn gained the Morning Forgotten Language and Hei Fan, the Golden Boy and Jade Girl (from Yizou’s perspective), they would rise rapidly and surpass them in influence and many other aspects, thus resorting to such despicable means to try and eliminate the Senior.

[What should I do...]

Preoccupied with her Senior’s safety, Yizou bit her lip, her expression very conflicted.

"You may have not experienced it yet, or perhaps you have, but even if you can escape once, twice, five times, ten times... Can you keep escaping forever?"

Elisa squinted her eyes, speaking softly, "You cannot, Hei Fan, at least not now. Whether it’s the expectations of your own people or the malice from the enemy, you cannot always remain oblivious. Or rather...when you are forced to face certain things, you have already missed the most ideal solution."

Motan did not speak, but Yu Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Elisa, sister, what do you mean?"

"A simple example would be sending you to a dangerous place."

Elisa blinked, speaking without hesitation, "In that case, even if Hei Fan doesn’t want to go, he’d be forced to go because he’s concerned about your safety. But if he had compromised earlier, perhaps neither of you would need to face danger."

Yu Chen opened her mouth but realized she had no ground to refute, unless she revealed her player status on the spot, which she couldn’t do. She also subtly felt that even if something happened to her in the Realm of Innocence, a certain person wouldn’t wish her into a dangerous situation.

A rush of inappropriate sweetness filled her heart, making the girl slightly guilty.

"I think I understand your meaning now, Miss Elisa."

Motan sighed lightly, with a bitter smile, "Actually, it’s not that I don’t understand; it’s just...quite reliant on the feeling of luck."

"Hope you truly understand."

Elisa Logan nodded without objection, raising an eyebrow, "Listen, Hei Fan, even emperors who are high and mighty cannot live as they wish. How much less can we? If you want to protect those around you and not become a burden for Wang Yu, you shouldn’t be passive. Even if you’re avoiding trouble, you should actively avoid it, got it?"

Motan smiled lightly, "I feel that if I answer ’Got it’ immediately, it might seem too contrived."

"It won’t, because I’ve always thought you’re a smart person."

The Princess laughed briskly, pulling Black back into her embrace. Her aura quickly reverted to the ’Elisa’ that everyone had been interacting with for a while, smiling and saying, "But the smarter a person is, the more likely they are to be misled."

Motan nodded slightly, replying earnestly, "Thank you for your advice."

"Haha, just saying casually, no need to take it to heart."

Elisa grinned, curving her lips, "After all, you’re no ordinary person without background. Just the identity as God’s Chosen’s family is enough to deter many who might want to harm you."

’Really?’

Motan covertly exchanged a glance with Black.

’Not really. Though you shouldn’t face any issues in the short term, Brother Hei Fan, it’s best to have some crisis awareness.’

Black returned Motan a glance filled with information.

After a brief understanding, Motan suddenly laughed lightly, "It’s pretty good. With Lady Elyssa’s words, I’ll strive a bit, make the sect proud, and hope they’ll take better care of me."

"So, Brother Hei Fan, your previous plan probably wasn’t just to ’show off’ and then get eliminated suddenly..."

"Uh-huh, I also think so~"

"Oh, is that so, Senior!"

"So, who wants to see you show off!"
