Chapter 63: 63: A favor for the priest

When the Grand Priest returned, he asked for a favor.

"I need you to bring Minister Xiao's body back here. He was involved with the cult, so I have a strong suspicion that he might also not be human anymore. I will not get a better chance to study a demon body than this."

Grand Priest Hugen sounded excited, and Sui felt more and more disturbed by the second.

She slowly backed away until she was out of the room and decided to give a vague answer.

"I will…. see what I can do for you. But please, don't count on me being able to help, alright?"

Sui dashed out of the Grand Priest's office as fast as she could. She almost collided with several priests, but Sui did not slow down until she was out.

'I-I did not run away from the Grand Priest. This was a tactical retreat on my part, alright! That was it…'

But even as Sui said, she knew that it was a lie. But she was willing to think of anything to justify her action.
