After being trained as slaves, they all became masters of their own affairs.

In this situation, it was indeed an unparalleled honor for Yu Ze to be able to eat at the same table with the two of them. If he was lucky, he might even be able to hug the thighs of both Sect Leader Ji and His Holiness the Pope at the same time...

But if you are not careful, you might offend both of them at the same time.

"Hello, who are you?" Yu Ze asked with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, I'm the Bishop of the Holy Church of Lixing, Norton." Norton stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

Although he had some thoughts, as a bishop of the church, Bishop Norton knew very well what to do when facing outsiders.

"It's Bishop Norton...I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" Yu Ze stretched out his hand and shook hands with Norton.

Under Yu Ze's puzzled gaze, the bishop said in a gentle and calm tone: "His Holiness the Pope invites you to go and have dinner with her and Master Ji."

The business-like smile on Yu Ze's face finally froze.

Ye Xian'er was stunned for several seconds and subconsciously looked at Yu Ze.

If Karen's invitation to dance was still within Ye Xian'er's psychological tolerance, then the invitation to dinner...even Ye Xian'er found it unexpected.

Bai Ruixuan also looked up at Yu Ze, with a strange emotion flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Patriarch Ji was talking to Pope Kailin, why did he invite him?

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strangely quiet.

After a long time, Yu Ze calmed himself down, slowly stood up, and spoke to break the silence.

"I see. I'll go there first."

……

The church ark floats quietly in the night, blocking out the sky and the sun, like an isolated island on the sea.

The Golden Hall on the tenth floor of the Ark.

Ji Ningshuang, wearing a gorgeous white dance dress, took her seat to the sound of classical music. Her figure was graceful and her posture was dignified and elegant.

Opposite her, Kailin had her blonde hair loose. Compared to the simple and intellectual Ji Ningshuang, Kailin's outfit tonight was more like a noble queen. She wore crystal high heels, and the priceless diamonds sparkled under the dazzling crystal chandelier.

Modesty was trembling at this moment.

As the deputy team leader of the Intelligence Department of the Holy See Church, she has met all kinds of high-level officials and financial tycoons from the past to the present.

I've also been to Risei before, attended a grand banquet held by a chaebol, negotiated with its head, and had dinner with him.

She has been through many battles and has a mentality that has been honed to be extremely strong.

However, at this moment, the nun's heart was beating wildly.

One is the Pope whom he has always admired and revered, and the other is a saint of the present age...

Although Modesti always addressed Ji Ningshuang by her name instead of 'Master Ji' in private, she was actually mostly in awe of this being who had achieved sainthood in just two thousand years.

And tonight, she was actually sitting at this table, having dinner with His Holiness the Pope and Ji Ningshuang.

...Although Modesti wants to leave here right now.

As for the reason... On the one hand, it was because the aura that the two of them had been emitting, intentionally or unintentionally, had been oppressing Modesti since the beginning.

On the other hand, Modesty always vaguely smelled a dangerous smell of gunpowder.

But Modesty couldn't tell where this tense smell came from.

Perhaps, it was just an illusion... the nun comforted herself.

While Modesti was playing out a wonderful inner drama in her heart, Kailin raised her glass and said with a smile: "I have never had the opportunity to talk to Sect Master Ji alone before. It is great to see Sect Master Ji on the Ark tonight. I toast to Sect Master Ji."

"It's a pity that you came a little late and missed the performance on the dance floor just now."

Ji Ningshuang also picked up the wine glass: "It's a pity to say that. It's a pity that after dancing with Pope Kailin, Yu Ze seemed to be tired, otherwise I could have appreciated him again."

"It doesn't matter. After he has rested, if Sect Master Ji wants to see it, I will invite him to dance with me."

Kailin suddenly smiled and looked forward.

Ji Ningshuang followed Kailin's gaze and saw a young man walking towards them not far ahead, led by Bishop Norton.

Norton bowed very gentlemanly and then stepped back.

"Little friend Yu, please sit down."

A touching smile broke through the ice on Ji Ningshuang's face, like a spring breeze, and she gestured to the seat next to her with her eyes.

Not far away, Kailin was also looking at Yu Ze with a smile, wanting to see who Yu Ze would sit with.

Chizuru Hosoi kept silent and she didn't say a word from beginning to end.

It’s not because she doesn’t want to say it, but because she won’t do anything that she is not sure of.

Now she was a little confused about the water here, because she didn't know what the situation was in it, so she didn't want to rashly bring trouble to herself.

Yu Ze fell into a brief silence.

After taking a quick look around the table, Yu Ze calmly sat down next to Modesti.

"..."

The atmosphere at the table seemed to become somewhat subtle silently.

Two slightly dazzling gazes looked at Modesti at the same time.

The nun was so frightened that she subconsciously straightened her back, nervously grasping the hem of her skirt with both hands, her face stiff.

W-what's going on?

Why are they all looking at me...?

Modesti, who still had no idea what was going on, was completely confused, and her heart was already filled with turmoil.

She knew that Ji Ningshuang was quite fond of this child named Yu Ze, but it seemed that His Holiness the Pope did not appreciate Yu Ze... ?

Why is even His Holiness the Pope looking at her like this now?

Ji Ningshuang picked up the wine glass and looked at the red wine in it. Suddenly, she said casually, "There are so many guests tonight, but there are some unclean things on the ship. Pope Kailin should have noticed it, right?"

"I will handle this matter properly, Master Ji, don't worry about it."

Kailin showed a charming smile: "Master Ji, you probably haven't attended a dinner in the real world yet? It's a rare trip for you. After enjoying the dinner, I suggest you don't miss the auction tonight."

"The auction house in the church's ark always has some items that are not available in the outside world during every auction... Even natural treasures like the Bright Treasure Leaf have appeared in the auction house in the past."

Hearing this, not only Ji Ningshuang, but even Yu Ze's expressions changed slightly.

The Bright Treasure Leaf...If you want to condense the body of Fairy Yaoyue as soon as possible, this natural treasure is indispensable.

And now, Karin actually mentioned the Bright Leaf.

Kailin...what on earth do you want to do?

"The church is even putting the Leaves of Light up for auction?" Yu Ze asked a very concerning question on behalf of Ji Ningshuang.

“In fact, rather than calling it an auction, it’s more like a kind of encouragement from the church to its own people.”

Chizuru Hosoi next to him replied, "For those who refine the Light Leaf, their spiritual awareness may even evolve... Therefore, even in the church, most people want to obtain the Light Leaf."

"Why would such a valuable item be placed in an auction house?" Yu Ze asked.

“Only church members can bid on the Light Leaves, so rather than saying the Light Leaves are for auction, it’s more like an encouragement for church members to obtain more church points as soon as possible so they can bid on the Light Leaves,” Modesti explained.

Modesty's words had already hinted clearly.

There are many benefits to joining a church.

Karin looked at the nun in front of her and finally found her much more pleasing to the eye.

"In addition to the Bright Leaf, there are actually quite a few products from the Inner Star this time, so if Sect Master Ji is interested, you can go and take a look after the banquet."

Kailin smiled and said, "I'll have someone prepare a separate room for Sect Master Ji."

Ji Ningshuang raised her eyebrows slightly, and her mind gradually became active.

A product from the star...

If I remember correctly, the master said before that Lixing had artificially developed the Silver Moon Stalactite...

In fact, with Ji Ningshuang's current status, as long as she opens her mouth, someone will definitely deliver the artificially developed Silver Moon Stalactite to her door.

But if you do this, you will end up owing someone a favor.

If you can take the photo yourself, it can save you a lot of trouble.

I also heard that there is a big difference between the auction house of the Holy See Church and other auction houses, that is, some valuable items are not auctioned with money, but purchased with spirit stones.

"In that case, thank you Pope Kailin for your kindness."

After a brief hesitation, Ji Ningshuang accepted Kailin's kindness.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to ease, Modesty plucked up the courage to say goodbye and leave.

Kailin hummed softly, glanced at Baojing Chizuru, and saw what she was thinking at a glance, and said: "Chizuru, it's okay for you to go and relax first."

Chizuru Baojing breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed, and left with Modesty.

Ji Ningshuang played with the wine glass in her hand, glanced at Yu Ze casually, and said, "I heard that young friend Yu has encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation recently, and he also needs some natural treasures. Why don't you come with me to the auction later?"

However, before Yu Ze could speak, Kailin's gentle voice came faintly: "He drank a lot of wine today, it's not suitable for him to go to such a lively place to kill time."

Ji Ningshuang couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this: "When you invited him to dance just now, why didn't you worry about wearing out his spirits?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Ji Ningshuang is not a fool. How could she not see that Kailin proposed the auction specifically to get her out of the way?

In fact, even if Kailin hadn't invited Ji Ningshuang to attend today's dinner, there was a high probability that Ji Ningshuang would be there tonight.

The only possibility for her not coming was that Yu Ze did not attend the dinner either.

Knowing this clearly, Kailin invited Ji Ningshuang openly.

Kailin smiled sweetly: "I invited him to dance, he did it of his own free will, and that dance won't waste much of his time."

"Are you willing...?"

As if she had heard something funny, Ji Ningshuang's eyes were filled with mockery: "So-called voluntary, do you mean using your body to seduce his voluntary willingness?"

Even though she was not there just now, Ji Ningshuang could roughly guess what happened in the hall.

It goes without saying that Yu Ze would not be able to refuse an invitation to dance from a Pope.

After all, so many people are watching.

And if this Pope, who is considered sacred and majestic by the people, does not take the opportunity to do something while dancing... then she would not be called Karin Novia.

Kailin smiled calmly: "When dancing, it is inevitable that there will be some physical contact. Compared with me, some people's actions are more despicable."

"Am I right?"

Kailin opened her red lips slightly, and her gentle voice sounded beside Ji Ningshuang's ears.

"The Copper Refining Sect Master couldn't wait to use his despicable body to seduce his young master into bed just after meeting him?"

Chapter 109 Lurking, Investigator.mp4

Ji Zihan took a bite of the dish that had just been served, swallowed it with a small mouthful of rice, and at the same time admired Sect Leader Ji who was talking with Pope Karin not far away.

In the position between the two of them, Yu Ze was sitting there, not moving at all, and it was unclear whether he was nervous or something else.

If Ji Zihan were asked to comment on this scene, her evaluation would be: delicious!

"I originally heard that the relationship between the East Continent and the West Continent was not good, and I thought that the relationship between Sect Master Ji and Pope Kailin should not be very good either. But now it seems that I must have believed the rumors before."

While enjoying the food, Ji Zihan looked at his junior brother who looked like he was in prison, and couldn't help but whisper to himself, feeling a little gloating.

At this moment, Kailin had a gentle smile on her face and was talking to Ji Ningshuang.

Ji Ningshuang tapped the table lightly with her knuckles, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then listened quietly to Karen's words.

This scene looks like a perfect landscape painting.

The only thing that didn't seem to be in harmony was probably the young man sitting between Kailin and Ji Ningshuang.

Even Ji Zihan could see that his body was a little tense and he felt like he was in prison sitting there.

Hearing Ji Zihan's words, Bai Yin subconsciously glanced at the harmonious scene not far away, then tilted his head slightly and looked at Ji Zihan in confusion.
