Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 574 Heading to the Temple of Light

The Temple of Light encompassed its own picturesque area, centered around the mountain where it is

situated, extending outward for a distance of two to three miles. The range was considered part of the

Temple of Light’s scenic area.

The scenic area was known as Light Hills, and as they made their way from the base of the mountain

to the Temple of Light at its peak, they would encounter various scenic spots along the route, although

the overall journey involved climbing the mountain.

The Temple of Light attracted a considerable number of tourists, including two adults and a young child.

One of the adults was a cheerful young man, carrying a backpack, most likely a college student. The

other adult was in their sixties or seventies, wearing a dark gray striped T-shirt, slightly hunched with a

coat draped over their shoulders.

Among them, the most noticeable person was a little boy wearing a black cap.

“Here, I’ll give you a flower!” Suddenly, a one-year-old girl stumbled over and hugged Lilly’s leg. She

looked up at Lilly with blinking eyes and held a small flower in her hand, raising it high.

Grandpa Blake chuckled and wore a kind expression on his face. He jokingly said, “How old are you?

How can you be this into boys at such a young age?”

If one had to mistake Lilly for a boy, she still looked incredibly adorable!

Unaware of what Blake meant, the little girl grinned innocently and she looked at Lilly with an adoring

gaze.

Lilly thought to herself….

Although I really want to accept her flower, I shouldn’t break my character!

She coldly replied, “I don’t like flowers.”

While saying that, she took the flower from the little girl’s hand.

It was a 10 percent replica of Ivan’s little arrogant demeanor.

Blake was speechless.

Lilly stared at the one-year-old girl, bursting with energy at such a young age. How could she be

surrounded by a bad aura?

The little girl was overjoyed and extended her hand, saying, “Hug me! I want to follow you!”

Lilly felt a bit embarrassed, but the little girl was too adorable. Giving in to the cuteness, she coldly

reached out and picked her up with one hand, holding her gently in her arms.

Initially, the little girl’s parents had been playfully watching their child’s interaction, but they were taken

aback when they saw the composed little boy effortlessly lifting their daughter with one hand.

“Wow, you’re so strong!” the girl’s mother exclaimed, extending her hand and saying, “Cathy, come

here quickly, I’ll carry you. The young boy might find it difficult to do so.”

Cathy clung tightly to Lilly’s neck, refusing to let go.

“I want my big brother to carry me.”

The girl’s father approached with an embarrassed expression, saying. Tm sorry, she doesn’t know any

better! Cathy, come back here.”

Lilly pondered for a moment, wondering how Ivan would react in this situation.

Thus, maintaining his typically expressionless face, Lilly replied, “It’s alright, I can carry her.”

“Uh…”

Cathy’s parents were astonished, realizing that Lilly appeared to be only four or five years old. How

could they let Lilly carry Cathy up the mountain?

“Cathy, say thanks to your big brother over here. However, children shouldn’t be carrying heavy things.

They’re still growing, and it’s not good for their spines,” Cathy’s mother stated, scooping up Cathy

despite her protests.

Cathy cried out, “I’m not heavy! Cathy isn’t heavy!”

Lilly responded, “Well, she’s not too heavy.”

Sensing that she was about to break character, Lilly quickly resumed her cold demeanor.

Father had warned her to be cautious on the journey, as it would be problematic if the ghosts released

by King Libra were to discover their presence.

Cathy’s mother became intrigued by Lilly, the cool little boy who cared for her daughter, yet maintained

a calm expression.

Both groups of people became acquainted because of Cathy, and Cathy’s mother asked, “Are you also

heading to the Temple of Light?”

Lilly nodded, sporting a sunny smile, and asked, “And where are you

from?”

Cathy’s mother replied, “We came from Yundella. We’ve heard that the Temple of Light holds great

spiritual significance, so we’ve come to seek its blessings.”

She glanced at Cathy and sighed, “My kid has been experiencing sudden convulsions for a few days

every month since birth and she often has a high fever. We’ve visited numerous hospitals across the

country, but we haven’t been able to identify what’s wrong.”

Concerned about his wife’s well-being, Cathy’s father held her in his arms and casually asked, “What

about you? Is this your grandpa? He seems quite strong for his age, even capable of climbing

mountains!”

Grandpa Blake chuckled and replied, “It’s nothing, he’s supporting me up the hill!”

With that said, he reached out and grabbed Cloud, putting his entire weight on him.

Climbing the mountain seemed effortless for him in this manner.

Being an elderly man, he naturally received assistance from the younger generation.

Cloud smiled but internally gritted his teeth, wishing he could kick Blake away and watch him roll down

the mountain.

Heading to the Temple of Light

Suddenly, Lilly asked, “Are there other people in your family?”

Cathy’s mother paused for a moment and replied, “Yes, she has an older brother. Cathy adores him,

but he doesn’t like her affection.”

As she mentioned her older brother at home, Cathy’s mother restrained her smile and let out a sigh.

Lilly nodded, understanding the situation.

It appeared that the root of the issue lay with Cathy’s brother.

Lilly raised her hand and handed out a card, saying, “Call me when you return home!”

Lilly placed one hand in her pocket, adjusted the brim of her hat, and calmly stated, “Praying to God

won’t cure Cathy’s illness, but my dad can.”

With that, she turned around and went on her way, exuding an air of confidence.

Blake was confused.

What’s this little boy up to?

Cathy’s parents were equally confused.

Despite the little boy’s aloof demeanor, it seemed that he genuinely cared about Cathy. It appeared that

Ète had developed a liking for her.

Cathy’s mother carefully stowed the card in her bag. Since Cathy’s birth, they had been through a

whirlwind of experiences, desperately grasping at any opportunity that came their way, often falling

victim to scams and losing a significant amount of money. At present, Cathy’s parents adopted a

mindset of “letting go” while cautiously preserving things, just in case they might be of use. They were

wary easily trusting others.

After that pause, when they looked up Jessiein, they saw that the handsome and cold boy had already

distanced himself, disappearing into the distance. Even the old man, supported by the young man, was

striding with remarkable speed, displaying a vigor that defied his age. It seemed as if they had

vanished in the blink of an eye.

Cathy’s father remarked with a sense of awe, “That old man is truly amazing.”
