Chapter 335 The Villain Lady Arrives 164

"It's her..." He murmured, his voice full of mixed emotions.

Leah, Eleanor and Sofia looked at each other. They didn't know who "she" was, but judging from Tariq's reaction, this "she" must be very important to him. They didn't disturb him, but just stood aside quietly, waiting for the next development.

Following the guidance of the flute, Tariq slowly walked deeper into the valley. Leah, Eleanor and Sophia followed closely behind him, their heartbeats speeding up with Tariq's pace, as if they were about to uncover a long-forgotten secret.

Finally, Tariq stopped in an open space. In front of him stood a woman in white, holding a flute, with a pretty face and gentle and wise eyes. Her appearance made Tariq feel both familiar and strange, as if he was meeting an old friend after a long absence, or meeting a stranger for the first time.

"You're finally here." The woman's voice was like the sound of nature, moving everyone present.

Tariq took a deep breath and walked forward slowly. "Yes, I'm here. I've been looking for you, looking for my answer." His voice was firm and powerful, as if at this moment, he had found his true mission.

The woman smiled slightly, put the flute gently to her lips, and played the melodious song again. As the flute sounded, the surrounding scenery began to change, as if the whole world was cheering for their reunion.

Leah, Eleanor and Sophia stood aside, watching this incredible scene, their hearts filled with shock and emotion. They knew that this moment was of great significance to Tariq, and he would embark on a new journey because of it.

As the sound of the flute gradually faded into the night sky, the woman turned around and looked at Leah, Eleanor and Sophia. "Thank you for always being with him. His future is full of possibilities, and you are his most precious treasure." Her voice was gentle and powerful, making the three women feel unprecedented warmth and encouragement.

Tariq came forward and hugged the three close friends tightly. At this moment, all the reluctance and worry turned into deep gratitude and blessings. They knew that no matter how the future changes, this friendship will always be engraved in their hearts.

"Goodbye, my friends." Tariq's voice was a little choked but more determined, "Please pray for me and for yourselves. We will meet again somewhere."

On the other side of the valley, far away from where Tariq and the woman in white met again, in a small house hidden in the dense woods, Saint Alice of the Church of Light was sitting quietly in front of the window, gazing at the valley in the distance caressed by the moonlight. Her face was cold and noble, but her eyes flashed with complex emotions, which were worries about an unknown fate and a faint sadness for some kind of emotional loss.

Saint Alice, as the most holy and mysterious being in the Church of Light, has been given the mission of protecting light and dispelling darkness since she was young. However, behind this sacred duty, she was once a woman with seven emotions and six desires, with unknown secrets and desires hidden in her heart.

"He, in the end, chose someone else." Alice whispered to herself, her voice was soft, but it revealed the bitterness that was hard to hide. She was not deliberately monitoring Tariq, but as a saint of the Church of Light, she had the ability to sense the subtle changes in the world, and the unique aura of Tariq had already left a deep impression in her heart.

Recalling every encounter with Tariq, Alice's heart could not help but ripple. His bravery, tenacity, and persistent pursuit of justice all deeply attracted her. However, she also knew clearly that as a saint, she had a greater responsibility, and her personal emotions could only be buried deep in her heart and turned into silent blessings.

But at this moment, when she learned that Tariq had confessed his love to someone else and decided to embark on the road of self-seeking, the peace in Alice's heart was completely broken. She felt an inexplicable nausea, as if something was surging in her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Why? Why her?" Alice murmured to herself, with a flash of reluctance and anger in her eyes. She was not jealous of the person Tariq chose, but she could not accept that the feelings in her heart were replaced so easily.

At this moment, a slight knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Alice quickly adjusted her mood, restored her usual calmness and dignity, and said softly, "Come in."

The door slowly opened, and a church messenger in a black robe walked in. He bowed his head and saluted, saying respectfully, "Lady Saint, there is urgent news."

Alice nodded slightly, signaling the messenger to continue.

"According to reliable intelligence, Tariq has left the castle and is heading for an unknown valley. At the same time, we also found several women following him, and their intentions seem unclear." There was a hint of worry in the messenger's words.

Alice frowned slightly when she heard this, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart. "Who are those women?" she asked in a deep voice.

"According to investigation, they are Leah, Eleanor and Sophia, all close friends of Tariq," the messenger replied.

Alice felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She was relieved that Tariq had such a loyal partner, but she was also worried about the danger they might bring to Tariq. She knew that Tariq's journey would be full of unknowns and challenges, and her identity and responsibilities prevented her from directly intervening.

"Continue to monitor their movements, but don't interfere too much." Alice said after a moment's silence, "I believe Tariq is capable of handling all difficulties. At the same time, we must also be prepared for emergencies."

The messenger took his orders and left, and the house returned to peace. Alice sat alone in front of the window, looking at the valley shrouded in moonlight in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She knew that she and Tariq might only be able to maintain this kind of ambiguous relationship forever. But even so, she would silently protect him until he found his own happiness.

However, Alice did not realize that her inner struggle and pain were quietly changing her view of the world. She began to question whether her mission and responsibility as a saint could really bring her inner peace and satisfaction. What she longed for was perhaps not just to protect the light, but also the emotion that could move her heart and make her willing to give everything for it.

At the same time, at the other end of the valley, Tariq and the woman in white were still talking. Although their voices were soft, they seemed to penetrate the boundaries of time and space and reach Alice's ears.
