After patting Claudia on the shoulder, Alex transformed back into his towering 4.5-meter-tall figure, looking like he had high hopes for her.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to give me more guidance in the future."

Claudia knew that the Lix people were troublesome and had a terrible reputation, but to her fellow members of the Void Cult, Lix was a truly good person.

"Yes, keep in touch via the space communicator."

Seeing that Claudia had agreed, Alex felt relieved and then looked towards the Temple of Records.

"They haven't comforted you inside yet."

As he spoke, Alex planned to break through the ice crystals and go inside to ask.

Claudia wanted to reach out and grab Alex to stop him from doing so.

In the past, her strength was such that she could easily dislocate or even break the hand of most people she had encountered with a simple pull.

But when Claudia reached out to Alex's arm, Alex did not resist.

Just as Claudia grabbed Alex's hand, her body was lifted into the air.

Alex's body crashed through the ice crystals and entered, where he saw Miss Sarah holding Bai Linglong, whose face was covered in tears and who was resting with her eyes closed.

This immediately changed Alex's mind, who had only intended to ask a question. His eyes turned angry, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Miss Sarah make a shushing gesture.

This stopped Alex from asking any further questions.

Sarah carried Bai Linglong into her boudoir where she rested in the Temple of Records, and then set up a barrier for her.

"Lord Alex, shouldn't you be cultivating at this time?"

"What brings you to my place?"

Sarah returned to the main hall of the Temple of Records and asked Alex, who had barged in.

However, Sarah soon saw Claudia, who was being brought in along with Alex, clinging to his arm and looking somewhat bewildered.

Sarah quickly understood what had happened, a smile appeared on her face, and she greeted him softly.

"Miss Claudia, welcome back."

"Yes, I'm back, but I couldn't stop him."

Claudia released her grip and gracefully landed on the ground from more than two meters in the air. She cleared her throat and said somewhat apologetically.

"Lord Alex is used to doing things his own way, you don't need to pay attention to him."

Sarah wasn't surprised when she heard that Claudia had tried to stop Lord Alex but failed. Instead, she told Claudia how to handle similar situations in the future.

The only ones who could persuade the headstrong Lix were Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void, and Senior Sonia.

And these two people are basically never around, so no one can control Alex's actions.

"So you were trying to stop me just now? Your movements were so subtle I didn't even notice."

Upon hearing these words, Alex looked down at Claudia and spoke.

"..."

Claudia was speechless upon hearing this. She couldn't very well say that she was confident she could hold back Alex, but the difference in strength was too great and she couldn't hold him back at all.

"Lord Alex, what would you like to ask?"

Seeing Claudia's speechless expression, Sarah wisely diverted Alex's attention.

"I heard Bai Linglong ran into trouble outside?"

Upon hearing this, Alex spoke up.

"I see, I understand your thinking now."

"However, Miss Bai Linglong is not in trouble."

"That was the ideal she chose, and the path she had to take involved suffering."

"Miss Bai Linglong just feels a little mentally tired; she hasn't suffered any physical harm."

"So, Lord Alex, you shouldn't even think about helping."

"Everyone has their own path, and excessive protection will only lead to stagnation."

"You probably don't want to see a member stagnate, do you?"

Sarah understood Alex's desire to help, but she immediately tried to dissuade him.

"That makes sense, but Bai Linglong is overcomplicating things."

"Constantly holding back increases the probability of breaking the rules."

After hearing Sarah's words, Alex calmed down considerably and spoke up.

"Your concerns are understandable, and enduring grief is certainly not a philosophy that the Church of the Void should promote."

"However, this is ultimately the path that Bai Linglong herself chose."

"What we, as fellow countrymen, can do is support, not oppose or overprotect."

"And this is how she felt upon returning from her first long journey."

“When the Void God Cult conquers the universe, her situation may change.”

Sarah smiled slightly upon hearing this and said softly.

"...Then let it go this time. If she comes to you crying again next time, tell me secretly."

“She can’t get over that mental hurdle, so I’ll help her resolve it.”

After listening to Sarah's words, Alex thought about them and found them to be very reasonable, so he made some compromises.

Bai Linglong was someone who could pass the test personally set by Lord Kassadin, so she was one of the people highly regarded by Lix.

His dislike for Bai Linglong's overthinking of things doesn't mean he wouldn't want to protect her.

"Okay, if this happens again, I'll tell you secretly."

Sarah knew that dealing with Alex meant going along with what Alex wanted to say.

Instead of doing the opposite of what Alex does, which would only make Alex's behavior more unpredictable.

"It's a word."

“Miss Sarah, you know I hate being lied to.”

Upon hearing this, Alex immediately nodded and spoke.

"Of course I remember it very clearly. I'm not holding it against you this time because I can understand that this is Miss Bai Linglong's suffering."

"That doesn't mean I won't feel heartbroken and angry about it."

"So don't worry, next time Miss Bai Linglong goes on an adventure and experiences a lot of sadness, come back to me and cry."

"I will definitely tell you secretly."

Bai Linglong's smile remained unchanged upon hearing this, her voice was incredibly beautiful and gentle, but anyone could hear the murderous intent within it.

"Okay, then I'll go have my meal first, and I won't disturb you from continuing to take notes."

Upon hearing this, Alex decided not to disturb them any longer and left immediately after speaking.

"Miss Sarah, were you serious about what you just said?"

After Alex left, Claudia looked at Miss Sarah and asked in a low voice.

"I always speak very seriously."

Sarah smiled and said that.

Lord Alex was not aware of Bai Linglong's experiences outside, and he became angry when he saw her crying.

Sarah, who was there to comfort Bai Linglong, heard about her detailed experiences outside, and felt both heartache and anger.

She wouldn't suggest that Bai Linglong change her style or give up her ideals.

This was never Sarah's style, but she would still help Bai Linglong.

"Is Bai Linglong's experience outside very difficult?"

Claudia heard these words and asked a question.

"The suffering she endured is something that people like us would never experience in our entire lives."

"She could have made herself feel better, but she was concerned about the future reputation of the Saint Nicholas civilization in the universe."

"I worry that my violence, born of a moment of anger, will only lead more people to treat the Saint Nicolás civilization like monsters."

"They chose to endure because they knew that the future would be even worse for those born into the Saint Nicolás civilization."

“I can understand, but that doesn’t mean we have to endure it or worry about it.”

Sarah responded calmly upon hearing this.

"Then why not just have Alex take action this time?"

"He would probably be very happy to hear that."

Hearing these words, Claudia felt she had gained a deeper understanding of another side of Sarah, but it was precisely because of this that she voiced her doubts.

"Because this is what happened during Miss Bai Linglong's first long journey."

"Although I can imagine it, I don't want to think of Miss Bai Linglong's future as so tragic."

"On the contrary, I hope that Miss Bai Linglong's future journey will allow her to encounter what she considers the beautiful side of the universe."

"In addition, the Void God Cult has entered a state of war preparation, and everyone is preparing to deal with the Kree Empire."

"I don't have much free time to deal with trivial matters right now."

"However, that doesn't mean I won't find out who caused Miss Bai Linglong so much sadness this time."

"It's not that we don't want to settle scores, it's just that the time isn't right yet."

Sarah, who had always been educated and influenced by Sonia, was never just a kind-hearted woman.
