Chapter 116 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (2)
Although he had some complaints, Shi Qi still obediently left. If he couldn't afford to offend him, he could at least leave.
As soon as Shi Qi pushed open the door, he saw the "little bean sprout" standing in front of him. The boy was short, only reaching Shi Qi's waist. His hair was an unusual black color here, and from Shi Qi's perspective, he could even see the neat cowlick on the top of his head. Because of his memories of Ister, Shi Qi knew that the child in front of him was the protagonist, Fran, who was only 12 years old this year.
Upon seeing Shi Qi emerge, Fran raised his head and looked at Shi Qi's face, a hint of surprise on his small, distinctly Western face: "Godfather, why are you out so early? Have you finished praying?"
Although he came out halfway, Shi Qi still nodded: "Do you usually wait here at this time?"
Fran didn't nod, but just blinked, seemingly not wanting his godfather to know that he had been waiting here long in advance every day, yet also not wanting to lie to Shi Qi.
Shi Qi didn't say much about his avoidance, but simply took his little hand and walked towards Ister's private practice room. This was something the two of them did every day. Every day, Ister would teach Fran how to master the power of light, and sometimes he would take this little heir to the defiled land to personally teach him the method of purification, and secretly steal the powerful power of light from Fran along the way.
However, now that the situation has changed, he certainly wouldn't steal it again. Anyway, he'll have to give up this position sooner or later, so he might as well make his retirement more dignified and prevent others from finding fault with him.
There was a simulated contaminated area in the training room. This was the training ground that the original owner later specially built for Fran. Apart from stealing the power of light, the original owner treated Fran quite well, at least he didn't mistreat him.
Shi Qi first changed his papal robes into casual clothes before returning to Fran's side. Fran was already training as usual. He was still too young to properly control the power of light, making purification very difficult.
According to the original owner, as long as Fran can successfully purify the defiled land here, he will have the ability to leave the original owner and purify the real defiled land himself.
Seeing Qi Ye struggling, Shi Qi stepped forward and took his hand as he tried to purify the tainted ground. With Shi Qi's action, Fran suddenly felt that the power of light in his body suddenly flowed smoothly, and even purification became much easier.
Fran tilted his head slightly to look at Shi Qi's profile, his face flushing red. His godfather was so handsome...
"Fran's favorability +5, current favorability 25."
Shi Qi noticed his gaze and said, "Concentrate..." This was the first time he had met a male lead with whom he had an initial attraction.
Caught red-handed by Shi Qi, Fran hurriedly turned his head, staring intently at the stained area in front of him, his ears still red.
Shi Qi withdrew his hand, thinking to himself that he was still just a child. Then his gaze involuntarily drifted to his shoulder—was there a birthmark there?
It's absurd, really. Ister named Fran his holy son, yet he never even saw Fran's body. He clearly doesn't care enough.
Shi Qi: "Dog, do you think he'll tell me if I just ask him directly?"
007 was bewildered: "What are you asking? Is there something you really want to know?"
Shi Qi simply said one word: "teeth mark".
007 was speechless. "You...why don't you try asking?" Of course, Shi Qi was just thinking about it and didn't actually ask. He just said to Fran, "Remember this feeling."
When Fran saw Shiqi's hand leave, which had been guiding him, he felt a little disappointed, but he still tried his best to practice.
After a long while, Fran was covered in sweat from training, but still showed no intention of taking a break. Seeing that the boy was pushing himself so hard, Shi Qi called him over and told him to rest for a while.
Fran had been sitting somewhat reservedly to one side, not speaking up, when Shi Qi suddenly asked, "Fran, have you made a new friend recently?" By this time, Fran already knew Lord.
Upon hearing this, Fran looked at Shi Qi somewhat blankly, seemingly not remembering making a new friend. But then he felt that his godfather must have his reasons for asking him this, so he thought about it carefully again.
Seeing his little face scrunched up, Shi Qi couldn't help but smile, but Fran, who was deep in thought, didn't see it.
After a long while, so long that Fran was about to lose patience, he finally realized that there was indeed someone else in his life recently.
He carefully observed Shi Qi's expression, and after confirming that he did not see any impatience, he spoke up: "There is indeed someone, but I am not friends with him. I just happened to pass by and saved him, and then he kept bothering me."
Shi Dian nodded: "I don't object to you making friends, don't worry. Do you know what that person's name is?"
Fran frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't want to be friends with him. I just want to stay by the Godfather's side."
"Fate Value -5"
Shi Qi thought, "...Even a godfather can't be with you forever..." He now suspected that the original owner had put some kind of spell on Fran, otherwise how could he be so blindly devoted? Besides, in the original story, Fran hadn't explicitly rejected Lord's advances.
Fran innocently asked, "Why not? I like my godfather, and he's very good to me. Why can't we be together?"
Before Shi Qi could speak, Fran continued, "And why did the Godfather ask him? Did he want to take him as the new Holy Son?" As he spoke, a hint of disgust and sadness appeared on his face.
"Fate Value -5"
His face really couldn't hide anything. Shi Qi touched his jet-black hair: "How could that be? You will be my only holy son."
Upon hearing Shi Qi's promise, Fran finally smiled slightly, a shy smile that still revealed his undisguised joy. He stood up and said, "Godfather, I've rested enough, so I'll continue training."
----
After finishing the morning training, Shi Qi said goodbye to Fran and returned to his room. Just as he was about to lie down, he heard that familiar voice: "You seem to be having a good time. What, don't you have to go purify the contaminated land today?"
Shi Qi, who was on his deathbed, suddenly sat up in shock. "Damn it, how come the God of Light is still here?" Although he really wanted to ask him if he was very free, Shi Qi held back and said respectfully, "There is nothing urgent today. Other believers can handle it."
