"So, what do you think?" Wang Yinlan looked at Ji Jiayu intently.

Ji Jiayu was silent for a few seconds when he heard this, then suddenly smiled. "Actually, what do I think? Is it important?"

After becoming the master of the Sacred Light Pearl, he was essentially equivalent to one of the most important assets of Sacred Changhai.

His life would no longer be his from now on.

However, Wang Yinlan's answer surprised Ji Jiayu slightly.

"It is important, it is important." She seemed to understand Ji Jiayu's shock and hesitation, and explained, "Although you are the one in charge of the Sacred Light Pearl, and it is indeed very important, since you are about to join our Sacred Kingdom and become a member of the Clan of Light, you will have all the rights of the People of Light, and of course, also include responsibilities and obligations. You can reject us when it's unnecessary, but you must not back down when it's time for you to stand up in critical moments."

Ji Jiayu may understand that he has no choice in matters of national crisis and ethnic rights, but other than that, his autonomy is still very high. This made him feel a little relieved; at least they weren't using him as a tool.

"I don't mind," Ji Jiayu said.

"What about those who join the Sacred Sect?" Wang Yinlan continued to ask.

"If you don't mind, of course I don't," Ji Jiayu said.

"This matter does need to be discussed, but the final outcome shouldn't be surprising." After Wang Yinlan finished speaking with a smile, she looked at Nie Lanxi again and asked, "Do you want to join the Sacred Sect?"

"That's fine," Nie Lan said.

"Then let's do it together," Wang Yinlan said.

Currently, there were no human-light race hybrids within the Sacred Sect, so once Nie Lanxun joined, it would be the first of its kind.

Nie Lanxi knew how difficult it would be, but she didn't care.

Later, Wang Yinlan chatted with Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi about some matters, and the three of them eventually arrived at the Shengyao Division office on the mountainside.

It was the equivalent of a small town, but it was inhabited by all the members of the Shengyao Division. By now, they all knew the identity of Ji Jiayu's Holy Pearl holder, and for a long time afterward, they would do their best to help Ji Jiayu manage the Holy Pearl better.

"You two can walk around here first, I'll go do something. Rest assured, you're absolutely safe here," Wang Yinlan said, handing Ji Jiayu a cloth bag.

The cloth bag clinked, and Ji Jiayu opened it to see it filled with gold coins with patterns engraved on them. This was the circulating currency of the Holy Kingdom.

"Okay, you guys are busy, don't worry about us," Ji Jiayu said. Wang Yinlan waved her hand at the two of them and gradually left.

After she left, Ji Jiayu looked at Nie Lanxi beside him. "Then let's go shopping?"

"Hmm," Nie Lanxi replied softly.

"By the way, I have a question for you." Ji Jiayu took a few steps, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why are you following me? Shouldn't you be going home?"

"I don't have a home," Nie Lanxi said.

Ji Jiayu was speechless when he heard this. He had completely guessed the answer, but he was still a little sad. He hesitated and asked, "What... What about your parents?"

"Died," Nie Lanxi said.

"I'm sorry," Ji Jiayu said.

"It's okay," Nie Lanxi said.

Ji Jiayu looked at Nie Lanxi and thought: So she's sick with me, but she must be going through a harder time than me. After all, how could a normal person have the opportunity to know where Xiao Jiu is? Presumably, after her parents' death, she must have suffered greatly...

"Then do you plan to follow me around all the time?" Ji Jiayu asked.

"I know when to leave," Nie Lanxi said.

"Right..." Ji Jiayu nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Then it's up to you. It's good if you're happy."

Nie Lanxi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "I'm happy?"

Besides her parents, this was the first time anyone had spoken to her like this, and naturally, she didn't know many of them.

Here, the two were chatting and hanging out, and on the other side, at the headquarters of the Holy Sect in the Holy City, the high-ranking star god and moon god level powerhouses in the entire holy sect were gathering.

Half an hour later, they were about to make a final discussion and decide whether to approve Ji Jiayu's joining the Sacred Sect.

In fact, many god-level powerhouses had discussed the issue of the person in charge of the Sacred Light Pearl joining the Sacred Sect countless times, but nothing had ever come of it. Because before Ji Jiayu appeared, they weren't sure if the person in charge would appear at all, and now it had finally come to the final moment.

Half an hour passed, and most of the god-level powerhouses who could attend were present, quietly awaiting the arrival of the meeting's host, the Sacred Sect's Pope.

However, they waited for a long time without the Pope. At this moment, Chen Miaoyi suddenly walked up to the top of the large conference hall and said, "The Pope is still dealing with some important matters. Let me preside over it first. You can express your opinions."

"I disagree." As soon as Chen Miaoyi finished speaking, someone immediately objected, "I still say the same thing. If you allow humanity to join the Sacred Sect, you will kill me first."

"It's boring for you to be so annoying; it's useful to be serious."

"A human joining the Sacred Sect, or a human destined to receive special treatment, will definitely have a negative impact on the entire Sacred Sect."

"What should we do if he becomes a high-ranking member of the sect according to the normal promotion process and proposes some bill to change the status of the human race?"

"The humans in Qiming City, as well as those mixed-bloods, are already enough to give us a headache. And then there's the pure-blood human race, I'm afraid our sect will immediately collapse."

"Let's tie him down another way. Joining the Sacred Sect is absolutely impossible!"

"What are you relying on to tie the races together? Nothing but power, money, and partners. We can give him those, but I don't believe he can defend himself in front of them."

"The public won't agree."

"Since the Pope has decreed that the Sacred Gem can only be controlled by humans, you must be mentally prepared. There will definitely be humans entering the Sacred Sect. It's a matter of time, there's no need to discuss it."

"This isn't about power. We want him to have a sense of belonging, and we want to treat everyone equally."

"You should all know what the position of the person in charge of the Seven Divine Pearls is, right?"

"We earned it by incorporating it into the Sacred Sect. Even if we let it fight for some benefit for humanity? It's better than being directly destroyed by the demons."

"Didn't you see what happened a few days ago?"

The words were still old, and the people were still the same as before, everyone expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly. No one could convince anyone.
