Chapter 1330: Mr. Li
Audrey suddenly asked, “Sir, how should I address you?”
At the very last moment before leaving, Qi Xuansu replied, “Li.”
Audrey also knew about the Daoist Li family. The ancestors of the Li family had founded and rebuilt the Daoist Order. The current head of the Li family was part of the Daoist Order’s Council of Three. It was this very family that controlled the Daoist Order’s external intelligence agency and filled it with Li family members. Everything aligned perfectly and made complete sense.
“Mr. Li.” Audrey hesitated for a moment. “I’ll see you again.”
Audrey wished she would be able to meet this man again. After all, Qi Xuansu had just said that their next meeting would be on the Southern New Continent. This gave her hope.
Qi Xuansu said nothing and slowly vanished from sight.
This was the fourth problem that needed to be resolved. Qi Xuansu needed to protect Strauni, so he had to ensure the safety of his current identity as Dutch Vanderlind.
Thus, he had no choice but to once again use his other identity, Hosea Matthias.
From Audrey’s perspective, this gave rise to a peculiar mix of fear and hope.
The fear was that even St. York, the jewel of the New Continent and home to St. Francis Church, could be easily infiltrated by Easterners. Their influence was also far greater than she had imagined. As a Westerner who had been deeply influenced by the “Daoist calamity” propaganda, she did not truly understand the East and could not tell friend from foe.
The hope stemmed from Mr. Li’s power. If he were as powerful as he seemed, her chances of escaping St. York would be greater.
These two completely contradictory emotions were intertwined within her, leaving her restless.
