Chapter 1543 Heart of a Saint 16

Coming out of the secret passage, he has already arrived outside the palace, but the vicinity is actually the wilderness.

"This is..." Su Li looked at the surrounding trees, feeling a little dazed.

"This is the woods outside the palace, and you can see the Zichen Hall if you stand higher." Ji Lin explained, "But you can't see the Saintess Hall, is there some kind of formation set up there?"

Su Li nodded, "Although the Saintess Hall is in the palace, it is also independent of the palace. After all, it is the residence of the Saintess and cannot be disturbed by outsiders, even if one person is below ten thousand people, you know that. Women are always a little bit jealous."

It is said that there used to be an empress in the palace who was jealous of the beauty of the saint, and tried to break into the hall of the saint several times because of her favor. Of course, that empress did not end well.

Ji Lin looked at her for a while, then raised his hand to stroke the top of her hair. He didn't know why he always felt a little distressed. Such a young girl should have been carefree at an age, but she was burdened with the heavy responsibility of protecting the common people in the world.

Moreover, the ability of the saint is not omnipotent. It is said that there was once a holy woman who failed to ask for rain during the drought, so that she was reviled by the people all over the world.

It's actually ridiculous, but that's reality.

What's so good about being a saint...

"If one day, you don't want to be this saint, I will take you away." Ji Lin said this again.

Su Li didn't take it as a joke this time, but nodded seriously, and said, "Okay."

"You agreed? I'm not joking." Ji Lin said, looking at her delicate and beautiful profile.

Su Li looked back at him, her watery eyes were full of seriousness, "Of course I'm not joking. But I have to re-elect a saintess before I leave, otherwise, I will violate the family rules of the saintess clan. If that happens, I will die without a place to die."

"What kind of rule is this?" Ji Lin frowned, a little repelled.

"The duty of a saint is to protect the people. If you fail to fulfill your duty and leave for your own selfishness, that is a sin. Even if I have gone to the ends of the earth, as long as my blood is still in the clan, they will You have the right to kill me." This is also where Su Li feels that the saint is miserable, she can't even control her life in her own hands.

Each saint will use secret methods to take out her heart and soul and put it in the ancestral hall of the saints. Her life is held back by that blood in her heart, and whenever the saint abandons her responsibilities and leaves, the patriarch will burn that blood in her heart. Once the blood of the heart dies, the life of the saint is gone. Generally speaking, the only way to get back your heart and soul is to wait until you find the next saint, and then live your own life.

"Then aren't you very dangerous?" Ji Lin felt a little uneasy, "Where are you saintesses, I'll go and steal your heart and soul, okay?"

Su Li looked at him with a smile, "It's a place where outsiders never return, so I don't want to tell you. Otherwise, no one will take me out to eat delicious food in the future."

"I am the number one thief in the world, I can go anywhere." Ji Lin was not convinced.

"Okay, number one thief in the world, let's go eat. How do we get here?" Su Li stretched out her hand to hold him and looked around, but she didn't know how to get out.

Ji Lin had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being, and then directly grabbed her luck and left with ease.

...

Not long after they left, two people also came out from the secret passage.

"It really leads to the outside of the palace, heh, Liu Lishang, just wait."

"Master Hou, you must act calmly!"

"I see."
