After becoming a disciple of the Pope

"Ye Ke..."

Mai Wei didn't notice his abnormality. When he mentioned his son-in-law, there were wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. He was very satisfied with him inside and out. He didn't treat Ye Shaoqing as an outsider, so he couldn't help saying a few more words: "Ye Ke's father is It is the famous Yongfeng General Ye Rongzhen. Ye Ke has been outstanding since he was a child, and now he has the rank of major after returning from the frontier. He and Ke Ke are childhood sweethearts. come down."

Ye Shaoqing asked calmly, "How many sons does this General Ye have?"

Mai Wei said: "Two, Ye Ke is the eldest son, and the second son Ye Lang, although he is also a good-looking talent, but compared to his elder brother in other aspects..." He didn't finish his sentence, but just shook his head, presumably what he said later was not good, To say it outright is to give General Ye face.

"Why, do you know people from the Ye family?"

Ye Shaoqing shook her head and said, "No, I'm just curious, just ask."

Mai Wei shrewdly frowned and began to think: "That's right, your surname is also Ye, and you don't know your own background, so maybe it really has something to do with it? That's not right, Ye Rongzhen does only have two sons..."

Ye Shaoqing awkwardly interrupted the other party's random thoughts, he didn't want to get involved in trouble with those wealthy entanglements at all.

Mai Wei smiled boldly, and did not continue this topic. He could see that Ye Shaoqing still had reservations about his identity, but this did not prevent him from believing that the other party was a messenger sent by the gods, not because of blessings. And carrying the Holy Light is unprecedented evidence.

He has been a beast appraiser for so many years, and his reputation is due to his vicious eyes and keen perception. It is such an honor that the envoy is willing to show the power of the holy light in front of him. As for the secrets of the envoy, he should not Knowing things, too much research is a kind of disrespect.

"Then I will take my leave. Please make time to come. Keke will be very happy to see you." Mai Wei saluted Ye Shaoqing again before leaving with the housekeeper.

Ye Shaoqing was really not used to being treated so respectfully by an elder. Fortunately, the secret president of Shengguang promised to keep it secret. He guessed that it might be because he saved his precious daughter, and the soaring favorability produced strange feelings. Misunderstanding, if you are a bystander with ulterior motives, the guests at the table may also become prisoners.

I don't know if that guy Yezheng has become a prisoner at this time?

Ye Shaoqing pinched his tangled brows. At that time, when he saw the message, he was so focused on going straight to the capital, but he didn't think that after he got there, he didn't know the place well, so where would he go to inquire about the whereabouts of that dead vixen?

What if when it was found, it would have already been plucked, skinned and made into a specimen... Ye Shaoqing's heart skipped a beat, she was so cool, she quickly threw away all the messy thoughts in her head.

It's just a deep worry between the eyebrows, which follows like a shadow, and can't linger no matter what.

Not long after, Qi Luan sent someone to inform that he was ready to leave. Ye Shaoqing organized his luggage neatly, and his eyes casually glanced at the storage bag that Lao Tao gave him. , he was never willing to throw it away, and the only pen left by the original body was also inside.

Old, old-fashioned, even the engraved words are somewhat blurred. He looked at the pen lying in his palm, and many conjectures rolled in his mind. His intuition told him that there must be an extraordinary relationship between the pen and Ye Ke. Then the attitude of the original owner of this body is worth pondering.If it is a close brother, will the original owner be left alone in a distant country or even die outside without a sound?

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, Ye Shaoqing shook his head, hoping it's not an enemy.

After packing his luggage, he always felt that something was missing. When he turned his head, he found that the two spirit beasts he had forgotten were embracing each other in a small corner of the room, inextricably fighting.

You peck me, I scratch you, the battle between Sparrow and Xiaoji was extremely fierce, vermilion feathers and black and white short hairs were falling all over the ground, Xiaoji's tail and wings had been pecked bald, and the sparrow also bald. It didn't get any better, the beautiful crown feather on the head was scorched with a gap, and it was ugly and crooked.

The sparrow seemed very indignant about this, and slapped Xiaoji on the head several times.

Ye Shaoqing's temples throbbed suddenly, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity as if a parent had taught a kindergarten child a lesson. With difficulty, he suppressed the twisted veins on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Stop, both of you!"

The master's order made Sparrow and Xiaoji freeze for a moment in the fierce battle situation, and they turned their heads and looked at Ye Shaoqing with peasy eyes at the same time, but it was only for a moment, and then they continued to interact with each other like pressing the play button again. He got up and put the master aside.

Ye Shaoqing: "..." Xiao Mian'er is still kicking her nose and face!

With a sullen face, his gloomy eyes swept over the two bastards who were wrestling with each other, and suddenly he burst out: "Dinner is ready!"

"Ow?"

"Chirp!"

These three words seemed to contain some kind of force majeure comparable to high-level divine arts, and immediately attracted the attention of Sparrow and Xiaoji. Beating life and death, the next moment they turned into two good babies, squatting at Ye Shaoqing's feet and sitting in a row, waiting eagerly for food.

Ye Shaoqing sneered, and was about to reprimand them and establish the authority of the head of the family, when suddenly a head popped out from the door, with that pale and sickly ice face, and asked flatly in his usual unwavering tone. : "Is dinner ready?"

"..." Silently withdrawing her eyes from Zhan Qiu's face, Ye Shaoqing suddenly felt sadness coming from it, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

What kind of experience is it for a poor priest who has lost his wife's money, and there are three freeloaders at home waiting to be fed?

Probably trying to kill himself by swallowing feces.Ye Shaoqing thought blankly.

This city is not far from the imperial capital. Starting from Fanzhou, Huai Ling and his party spent a day and finally arrived at their destination smoothly. After strict identity screening and entry and exit procedures, this city with a long history and a symbol of supreme imperial power The capital city, the center of theocracy and theocracy, finally lifted the veil of mystery.

Compared with the almost extravagant wealth and prosperity of the streets of Kurokawa City, the imperial capital seems to be more restrained and elegant. The straight and wide roads are well planned and full of aesthetic feeling. The buildings on both sides of the street are completely symmetrical and the style is harmonious and unified. It seems that there is a tacit understanding with each other, without any abrupt calls and noises, and there are no peddlers peddling along the street.

Under the leadership of the special guide of the Central Holy See, Huai Ling and Ye Shaoqing were able to stay in the southern suburb of the Holy See. Luxury beast cars of various shapes came and went at the door. Like them, the bishops and entourages of the foreign dioceses walked there.

This annex is a special residence for the bishops of the major regions at the end of each year. The guards are all elites of the Holy See Knight Army. The architecture of the annex was designed by Saifan, a famous architect and designer in the empire. It has gray walls, jade columns, and towering minarets , continuing the solemn and elegant style of the Holy See, facing the Temple of Light, the two wings on the left and right guard the main building in the middle, the bishops of the outer districts live in the wing, and the main building is reserved for distinguished guests. Prepare.

"This is the room, I hope you all feel at home." The person who spoke was the deputy curator, with a broad nose and narrow forehead, high cheekbones, and a smile that always felt like a smirk.

He looked at the documents and badges held by Huai Ling, nodded coldly, pointed at him casually, and left without waiting for Huai Ling to speak.

As far as he is concerned, the bishop who will be received in one day is like Guo Jiangzhiqing. No matter how rich Heichuan City is, it is only a marginal city of the first order. A young new bishop like Huai Ling who has no background in the imperial capital is not qualified for him to be placed in the eyes.

Huai Ling looked at Ye Shaoqing and shrugged. A female priest with black-rimmed glasses took them in respectfully to settle down. Bewitched by Huai Ling's dazzling blond hair and bright smile, the female priest unreservedly explained the precautions Several times, and by the way, various gossip and gossip were attached, Huai Ling listened with gusto.

The most noteworthy things now are nothing more than His Majesty the Pope, who has been closed for a long time, has finally come out, and intends to formally accept His Highness the Second Prince as a disciple, the bishops of the major districts are facing a reshuffle, and there is a series of overwhelmed personnel transfers at the upper echelon of the Central Holy See. As for the gossip, of course it is about the marriage between the daughter of the president of the Beast Appreciation Association and the eldest son of General Yongfeng. It is rumored that the general's wife even booked the entire Xuan Palace Hotel as an engagement banquet venue for this, and invited most of the upper class celebrities in the imperial capital. , even the two princes and His Majesty the Pope may show up at the banquet!

Hearing the female teacher's delighted and lively voice, Ye Shaoqing seemed to lack interest. He had nothing to do with those rich and famous people. He just wanted to know if he could inquire about Ye Zheng at the engagement banquet.

"I've heard long ago that the Lingquan bathing pool in the Southern Suburbs is very magical. Soaking in the spring and meditating can get twice the result with half the effort. It's true. Let's go, I can't wait to try it." Huai Ling saw that he was out of his mind, Intentionally enlivening the atmosphere, without any explanation, he dragged Ye Shaoqing to the Lingquan area with great interest, Zhan Qiu and Qi Luan followed silently.

Passing through the garden-style atrium, on the mountainside behind the annex, a light fragrance drifted along with the evening wind. The two of them saw the mist transpiring from a distance, as if they had stepped into a fairyland. The flickering lights were like a string of pearl belts, surrounding Among the green mountains.Lingquan District is within the hedge of shrubs at the end of the mountain path.

The priestess leads the way. The spiritual spring here has two baths on the left and one right. On the left is an independent spiritual spring, and on the right is a large public pool.Whether it's meditation or simply wanting to soak in a hot spring, a private independent bath is naturally a better choice.

Unexpectedly, before the few people stepped into the courtyard of the bathing pool, they were stopped by two servants guarding the door.

Huai Ling frowned displeasedly: "What? I never heard that the Lingquan is closed tonight."

"Of course it's not closed, it's just that you went the wrong way." A lazy voice came from the small courtyard. He glanced at them casually, raised one corner of his mouth mockingly, and said with a smile, "The path on the right is what you people should take. At this time of year, there are always some bumpkins who don't know the rules. Are you New here? Be careful, don’t bring everyone in.”

The female priest was a little flustered, apologized quickly, pulled Huai Ling to another road, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I forgot, the bath on the left is usually used by noble bishops who are pro-royal, bishops in the outer districts It's all in the courtyard on the right."

"What kind of rules is this?" Huai Ling stood there with a gloomy face.

The female priest said helplessly: "That is the second son of the general, and also the disciple of Archbishop Zhaohua, Mifeng. He has always said the same thing, so please don't pester him."

"Heh, this is really a narrow road to Yuanjia." A trace of surprise flashed across Huai Ling's face, and then he sneered.

"Wait, hey, what about you?" Mi Feng squinted his eyes at Zhan Qiu who was standing at the end, he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the dim light, and when he got closer, he noticed that pale and indifferent face.

Mi Feng's gaze was like a knife, scraping on Zhan Qiu's face, and his lazy voice was replaced by Binghan: "It's really easy for me to find, Zhan Qiu, you dare to come back to the imperial capital, since I saw you, leave a note legs."

His tone was calm with indescribable cold pleasure: "The one in the middle."

Ye Shaoqing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Temple of Light.

This time, Zhou Wen, who had made great contributions to protecting the lord and was promoted to a personal servant, appeared on time outside the study where the academic affairs were handled as usual, and brought dinner to His Majesty the Pope.

Unexpectedly, there was no sound after knocking on the door for a long time.

A bad premonition welled up in his heart, Zhou Wen cautiously opened the door, and it was really empty inside.

"His Majesty the Pope is missing again ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"
