Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1518
Her understanding of that only served to further increase her embarrassment.
Despite that, Xyrielle still valued this predestined marriage too much for her to ignore.
Eventually, she gave in and simply told Gerald more about the fortune-teller that had given her, her reading back
then.
“…Hmm? A fortune-teller? What does he look like?” asked Gerald in a simultaneously excited and serious tone.
After all, the description she made… Was the person she had gotten her reading from actually Master Ghost?
Could Master Ghost have been hiding on Sacrasolis Mountain this entire time? If that truly was the case, then
Gerald didn’t have to waste any more time and effort locating him!
After thinking for a short while, Gerald agreed to escort her over to the mountain. This was a chance for him to
reunite with Master Ghost, and he wasn’t about to say no to that.
Regardless, the second Xyrielle heard that Gerald was willing to go along with her request, she instantly felt both

Fast forward to sometime later, both of them were able to see a church in the distance…
Sacrasolis Mountain was located south of the Jenna Province, and it was also where Sacrasolis Church could be
found. There were apparently quite a number of pilgrims who came here too.
Regardless, the more he looked at the church, the more Gerald felt that Master Ghost truly was in there.
Upon getting close enough to the church’s entrance, two young priests stopped them from proceeding.
“Have both of you come to pray?” asked one of them in a respectful tone as the two priests smiled warmly.
“Not at all, sir. We just came here to have a look at the back of the mountains. Also, why are there so few pilgrims
here today?” asked Xyrielle while looking around.
“Oh? Our apologies, but Sacrasolis Mountain has been closed for about a month now! With that said, the back of
the mountain is no longer open to the public… I’m afraid that both of you are going to have to go back if you’re
heading there just to have some fun!” replied the other priest as he lowered his head.
Though it was subtle, Gerald managed to catch that same priest—who had just spoken—sneaking glances in
between gulps as he stared at Xyrielle’s bosom. From that alone, Gerald could tell that these two weren’t good
people.
It was also at that moment when Gerald noticed traces of deliberately hidden murderous auras exuding from the
two. Things like these weren’t going to escape Gerald’s eyes that easily.
With that, Gerald activated his divine sense to get a better grasp of his surroundings. A brief moment later, he
realized that the two priests truly were the only people atop the mountain.
Giving the duo a brief—but cold—glance, Gerald decided not to say anything for the moment.
Xyrielle, on the other hand, looked visibly disappointed to hear that news. Just as she turned around, ready to leave,
Gerald noticed the two priests nudging each other by their elbows while exchanging glances.
As Gerald pretended not to have noticed, the two priests eventually chose to run up to Xyrielle before saying, “Miss!
Do stay!”
“…Huh? Is something wrong, masters?” asked Xyrielle.
“Let’s just say that both of us have seen how pious you are. Due to that, we’re making an exception and granting

“What? Seriously?! I greatly appreciate it!” replied Xyrielle, both surprised and overjoyed.
“However, note that while we’re permitting you entry, you’ll only be allowed to head up the mountain one by one.
The other person can wait and rest in the guestroom till the other party returns. It’s just how things work here, and
it’d be difficult for us to explain ourselves if others somehow noticed that we led both of you in at the same time!”
added the priest.
“…I see! I’m fine with that!” replied Xyrielle as she turned to look at Gerald.
Since he didn’t look like he was against the idea, Xyrielle simply nodded, now more determined than ever to meet
up with that fortune-teller. With any luck, she’d be able to get another reading from him.
The fortune-teller had previously shared the exact location for her to find him too, which was why she wasn’t
worried about not being able to meet up with him once she was at the back of the mountain.
With that, Gerald and Xyrielle then followed the two priests into the church.
Unbeknownst by the priests, Gerald secretly flicked his finger toward Xyrielle, injecting a stream of essential qi into
her body…
