Chapter 73 Cardinal, Favored by the Holy Light!

Jingle Bell!

The doorbell rang in the dimly lit tavern.

A moment later, the door behind the bar was opened.

Lin Wanshuang came out wearing a fluffy pajama set.

She looked sleepy, had no makeup on, and her hair was a mess, a stark contrast to her usual appearance.

Looking at Shen Mo, who had already walked up to him, he said with dissatisfaction:

"So early in the morning, is it really that urgent?"

While complaining, Lin Wanshuang bent down and pulled open the bar counter drawer.

He took out two laminated receipts and placed them in front of Shen Mo, his eyes still blurry, and said:

"I haven't had a chance to check yet... um~~"

Lin Wanshuang yawned, looking sleepy, and said:

"But it should be fine. If there are any problems, come find me!"

Remember to close the door properly when you leave...

After saying that, Lin Wanshuang looked listless and returned to the room behind the bar.

After carefully examining the relocation permit and residence permit and finding no problems, Shen Mo left the Nightfall Tavern.

It was even colder in Xiaping this morning than it was last night.

Pedestrians come and go in an endless stream.

The streets were bustling with traffic, and horns blared incessantly.

Looking at the breakfast vendors hawking their wares on the street, Shen Mo felt as if he had returned to Earth.

But upon seeing his parents and siblings huddled in a corner like refugees, Shen Mo was quickly pulled back to reality.

Neat streets, smartly dressed pedestrians, and a constant flow of vehicles...

On a clear morning in Xiaping, the four of them showed no curiosity, only tension and fear of leaving their familiar surroundings and the unknown future.

The stares and pointing fingers of passersby only increased the pressure on the four of them.

Shen Lang stared longingly at the steamed bun stall.

Shen Mo sighed softly and walked towards the steamed bun stall.

This morning, after getting up, the family noticed the commotion outside the door.

After learning that a cult and demons had been active in the vicinity last night, and especially after hearing from Shen Mo that the cult and demons were related to Ding Xia.

The family was immediately filled with fear and lingering apprehension.

Shen Mo took the opportunity to suggest moving.

My parents were planning to stay a few more days last night, intending to sell the small house before they left.

However, still shaken by the incident with the demons and cults, he immediately agreed to Shen Mo's decision, fearing that something unexpected might happen again.

After quickly packing their belongings, the family, led by Shen Mo, went directly to Xiaping...

After buying the steamed buns, Shen Mo looked at his family and frowned.

Shen Huiying was seen holding Shen Lang, her face full of worry.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen stood there trembling, enduring the guards' questioning.

Beside the guard was another volunteer policeman, who was frowning as he looked at the guard.

The guard shouted loudly, attracting a crowd of onlookers. Shen Youliang and his three companions looked embarrassed and hurriedly tried to explain something...

"People from the shantytown? What are you doing in Xiaping?"

"We...are preparing to move out of the shantytown and into Xiaping!"

"Moving to Xiaping?" the guard chuckled. "Where are your residence permits?"

"He's with my son..." Shen Youliang's gaze swept past the guard, his tense expression suddenly relaxing. "He's back!"

The guard raised an eyebrow, turned around, and saw a young man standing in front of him.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the black iron badge on Shen Mo's chest and immediately became much more alert.

"What's up?"

Shen Mo asked casually, walking past the guard and smelling a hint of alcohol...

"Uh... a routine investigation, haha!"

With a laugh, the guard immediately led the vigilante away.

It's best not to offend a witcher who can lift his family out of the shantytown...

I could sense the restraint my family members felt on the street.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Mo decided to find a hotel for them to stay in first.

After that, he started looking for a suitable place to stay in Xiaping by himself.

Shi Lan told Shen Mo some information about renting and buying a house yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanshuang also offered Shen Mo some corresponding advice.

Shen Mo looked around at each one and found a nice little room.

A 50-square-meter apartment with two bedrooms and a living room can be bought for only 450,000 yuan.

With some further modifications, it will be big enough to accommodate a family!

So Shen Mo prepared to let his family stay in a hotel for a while longer.

Then, after completing a mission and earning some money, I'll just buy the house.

Shen Mo currently has 280,000 Alliance Coins in his account.

Shen Mo received a reward for helping Mu Li hunt the rat demons last night.

If I go out and do one or two more tasks, maybe I can save enough money to buy a house...

As he pondered this, Shen Mo unknowingly walked to the Holy Church Square.

Looking at the magnificent building constructed against the cliff, Shen Mo hesitated for a moment before finally stepping inside.

"Silence!" Mu Li's voice came.

Shen Mo was somewhat surprised. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mu Li walking towards him.

"This is proof that you helped hunt down the rat demons last night."

Mu Li handed a piece of paper to Shen Mo and then said:

"His Holiness the Bishop wishes to see you. Would you like to go?"

Shen Mo's attention was originally on the voucher.

The certificate issued by the Church also specified the fee.

Shen Mo can earn 200,000 Alliance Coins by helping Mu Li hunt down the Rat Demons!

Although Shen Mo knew the reward would be substantial, he didn't expect it to be this much!

Now I've finally raised enough money to buy a house...

But after hearing Mu Li's last sentence.

Shen Mo's attention quickly shifted from the reward for hunting the rat demons to Mu Li's statement that the bishop wanted to see him.

Nervousness, hesitation, curiosity... a whole host of emotions were present.

After a brief moment of thought, Shen Mo finally nodded and said:

"Take me there!"

"Don't be nervous. The fact that you can use holy power might actually be a good thing!"

Mu Li comforted her:

"The bishop is likely seeing you to guide you in using holy power more effectively..."

As they spoke, Mu Li led Shen Mo into a bright room.

A middle-aged man wearing a red robe and black-rimmed glasses was sitting behind a desk, typing on a keyboard in front of a computer.

This slightly incongruous scene actually lessened Shen Mo's tension somewhat.

Upon seeing Mu Li bring her people in, the red-robed bishop stood up and looked at Shen Mo apologetically, saying:

"Sorry, I'm a bit busy, so I'll have to ask Mu Li to pick you up."

"You knew I was coming?" Shen Mo asked, voicing his doubts.

"The Holy Light will guide you and me!" The middle-aged man touched his forehead and heart with two fingers.

He then gestured for Shen Mo to sit down on the sofa, and went to make tea...

"You...don't need to go to so much trouble."

The bishop's politeness made Shen Mo feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The person in front of you is no nobody.

His status is equivalent to that of the president of the Demon Hunter Association, the president of the Divine Continent Alliance Committee, and the commander of the three major legions!

However, his behavior was so down-to-earth, without the slightest air of a big shot...

"You can call me Zhaoguang!"

The cardinal placed the tea in front of Mu Li and Shen Mo, and smiled at Shen Mo, saying:

"I have heard about your situation and sought revelation from my Lord, who said..."

Under Mu Li's curious gaze and Shen Mo's nervous expression.

Cardinal Zhaoguang slowly began to speak:

"You are a follower of the Holy Light!"
