Chapter 1572: Saintess's Heart 16

I came out of the secret tunnel to the outside of the palace, but the neighborhood was actually a wilderness.
"This is..." Su Li looked at the surrounding trees in a daze.
"This is the woods outside the palace, you can see the Zichen Temple if you stand higher," Ji Lin explained, "but you can't see the Temple of the Saintess, is there any formation?"
Su Li nodded, "Although the Temple of the Saintess 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 has the status above 10,000 people, you know. Women are always a little jealous."
It is said that there used to be a lady in the palace who was jealous of the beauty of the saint, and wanted to break into the hall of the saint because of her being favored several times. Of course, the fate of that lady was not good.
Ji Lin looked at her for a long while, then raised his hand to touch the top of her hair. He always feels a little distressed for some reason. Such a young girl should have been a carefree age, but she is burdened with the heavy responsibility of protecting the world.
Moreover, the power of the saint is not omnipotent. It is said that a saint once failed to obtain rain during a drought, so that she was scolded by people all over the world.
This is actually ridiculous, but this is 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, she just nodded seriously and said, "Okay."
"You agreed? I'm not talking or laughing." Ji Lin said, looking at her delicate profile.
Su Li looked back at him, her moist eyes were full of seriousness, "Naturally, I am not joking. But I have to re-elect a saint before leaving, otherwise, I would violate the clan rules of the saint clan. If that were the case, I would die without a burial place."
"What's the rule?" Ji Lin frowned, a little repulsive.
"The responsibility of the saint is to protect the people. If you fail to fulfill your responsibilities and leave for your own sake, then it is a sin. Even if I reach the end of the world, as long as my blood is still in the clan, they You have the right to kill me." This is also where Su Li finds the saint woman miserable, she can't even control her life.
Every saint will use the secret method to take out the blood of the heart and place it in the ancestral hall of the saint clan. Her life is restricted in her heart, and whenever the saint abandons her responsibility and leaves, the patriarch will burn that heart blood. Once the blood of the heart dies, the life of the saint is gone. Generally speaking, only when you find the next saint, you can get back your efforts and live your own life.
"Then you are very dangerous?" Ji Lin felt a little uneasy, "Where is your saint clan, I will steal your blood, okay?"
Su Li smiled and looked at him, "That's a place where outsiders go and never return, 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, and I can go anywhere." Ji Lin was not convinced.
"Well, the number one thief in the world, let's go to eat. How do I get here?" Su Li stretched out his hand and looked around, but didn't know how to get out.
Ji Lin had to put the matter aside for the time being, and then took her away with light luck.
...
Soon after they left, two people also walked out of the secret tunnel.
"Sure enough, this place can lead to the outside of the palace, huh, Liu Lizhen, you can wait."
"Master Hou, you must act calmly!"
"I know."
