Female Supreme: Holy Son, you don’t want to be discovered, right?

"Okay, I'll go. How do I do it?"

Lisa smiled, took out a pin, threw it to Li and said, "Don't worry, I just need you to meet someone."

Li looked at the thing in her hand. Isn't this the brooch that represents her identity?

"Who do you want me to see?"

"..."

...

Chapter 148 You’d better not let me find out!

Late at night, outside the Holy Sword Hall,

The green lawn that the children had trimmed neatly was now trampled into a mess. The troops of the Holy See had already set up a large camp here.

The soldiers kept a tight guard, with only the crackling of the burning campfire and the occasional whispers of passing patrolmen echoing here.

At this time, in the largest tent, several women dressed in Holy See priest robes stood aside, looking uneasy.

This is the tent of Inquisitor Winice, and on the table in the middle of the tent is a huge wolf corpse.

The wolf's corpse was still very fresh; its erect hair and ferocious expression seemed frozen in the last moment before death.

A tall woman was holding a hunting knife, her head down, concentrating on cutting the wolf's neck.

Beautiful earrings were set off by her neat short hair, and her gaze at the giant wolf in front of her was narrow and deep, always focused. The corners of her thin and tightly pursed lips gave people a feeling of majesty without even being angry.

As the last inch of tendons was cut, the wolf's head was skillfully and perfectly removed from the corpse.

Warm wolf blood flowed out from the broken part, and the black leather gloves were already soaked with blood. The pungent smell of blood was extremely choking in the battalion commander's body.

Several priestesses had turned pale from the odor, but Winice's eyes remained calm. She gently placed the wolf's head on the edge of the table, as if she was performing a solemn ceremony.

Finally, a woman couldn't stand it anymore. She mustered up the courage to speak and broke the silence.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, we think it is best to get rid of those children."

The hunting knife in Winice's hand paused in the air for a moment, then stuck on the table. She turned around and took off her gloves that were soaked in blood.

"Deal with those kids?"

"My lord, this group of pagans...should be punished." Another priest echoed in a trembling voice.

Winice walked slowly towards them.

The leading woman closed her eyes and shivered, but she was only gently pressed on the shoulders, and the burning palms seemed to still retain the warmth of the wolf's blood.

"I told you I'll consider this." Winice's tone left no room for doubt. "Now please go down and rest."

The priests had no choice but to bow and salute, then left the tent one after another, leaving only Winness alone.

Watching their backs as they walked away, Winice turned back to the wolf corpse.

Although she didn't want to implicate innocent people, especially those children who already had tragic lives - those poor people who lost their parents and were displaced in the war.

But now, these children are her tools to force Farah to reach an agreement with the Holy See.

If necessary, it can be cleaned up.

She picked up the hunting knife again and was about to start dealing with the giant wolf's front legs, when she suddenly caught a very slight sound of wind.

"clang--"

The hunting knife flew out quickly, and the blade pierced deep into the shadow.

"Come out," Winice ordered.

A figure emerged silently from the shadows and half-knelt on one knee in front of the hunting knife.

"Your Excellency the Holy Judge, your subordinate Li has come here on orders."

"What are you doing here?"

　Winice's eyes were stern. She had recognized the visitor as "Nue", one of the Pope's men, an assassin who should not be here.

Li didn't look up, but replied in a low voice: "The Pope ordered me to come here to bring you a message."

Winnies narrowed her eyes slightly, took a slow step forward, stopped in front of Li, and looked down at Li condescendingly:

"What?"

"The Pope hopes that the Saint must be present when the treaty is signed with the Rose Territory."

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

Winice's eyes were even colder. She squatted down, pulled out the bloody hunting knife, and gently placed the blade against Li's neck, her tone full of threats.

"The Pope wants Elgeri to be present, why did he send you to deliver the message?"

There was doubt in every word in Winice's voice.

Under normal circumstances, the Holy See would have someone special to convey the Pope's will to her.

It was somewhat suspicious that an unrelated assassin broke into her camp late at night and reported orders to her.

Then, Winice's fingertips gradually tightened their grip on the hunting knife, and the coldness in her eyes could take her life at any time.

The tension in the air was suffocating, as if a taut string could break at any time.

Li remained calm, and although he was in danger, he did not show any panic.

"The Saint's whereabouts have been erratic these past few days. I'm sure you must be worried. The Pope also took this into consideration, so he sent me here to "assist" you."

Winice frowned even deeper. She was indeed confused by the sudden appearance of the Saint. After all, she was the only one assigned to this mission, so why did the Saint take the lead over her?

As for the Pope's intention in doing this, does it mean that there is something wrong with Elgeri...

Winice's eyes once again wandered across Li's face, as if looking for a flaw in the other's expression.

However, Li's expression remained calm, as if she was not facing an opponent who could take her life at any time, but just an ordinary person.

Silence spread in the tent.

Finally, Winice raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer, as if she had finally come to some conclusion.

She sheathed the hunting knife, and the blade cut through the air, making a crisp sound.

"I had this idea originally. After all, since the Saint Lady is here, I have to witness it with my own eyes."

"As for you, just go back and report. I will naturally bring back all the magic ore and Fara from Rose Territory."

Feeling the blade leaving her neck, Li's body relaxed slightly and she slowly exhaled.

She quickly stood up, bowed her head, then turned around and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, as if she had never been there.

Winice stared at the direction where she disappeared. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she didn't care much.

After all, compared to this small matter, Farah's evasion these days and the elusive whereabouts of the saint are more difficult troubles.

Let's finish these things first...

At this moment, a white figure slowly walked out from behind the tent, the moonlight sprinkled on her body, and her golden hair swayed gently in the breeze.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, are you free to chat now?" Elgeri asked softly with a false smile on her face.

Winice clenched the hunting knife in her hand and continued to cut the giant wolf's front legs.

Her eyes never moved away from the movements in her hands, but there was a hint of cold alertness in her voice.

"After eavesdropping for so long, what are you planning?"

The blade moved between the bones of the wolf corpse, making a slight scraping sound.

Elgeri smiled and walked behind Winnies.

She leaned forward slightly and looked at the work in Winice's hands. "Is it necessary to be so nervous just to come and see an old friend occasionally?"

Winice stopped moving, half turned around and said, "I'm not interested in the previous feud between Farah and you. But you'd better not interfere in this matter, just watch quietly."

"Don't worry, Winice, I certainly won't disturb your work." Elgeri said lightly.

Winice reached out and grabbed Elgeri's collar, pulling her towards herself, and pressed the hunting knife in her hand against Elgeri's lower abdomen.

"I know you are planning something, but you'd better not let me find out! Last time, it was because you were a first-time offender, so the Pope protected you. This time, if something goes wrong again, no one can save you."

The smile on Elgeri's face gradually faded, and the pretended gentleness disappeared in an instant, replaced by a hint of coldness and sharpness.

She held Winnie's wrist with her hand, and her fingers gently pressed on Winnie's wrist, as if she was ready to exert force at any time.

The moonlight shone through the cracks in the tent, reflecting on the faces of the two men facing each other...

...

Chapter 149 As livestock...

Since Lisa explained the plan to everyone,

Xing Feng finally found out that the reason why Elgeri had not chosen to fight Farah was because of the surveillance of the Inquisitor.

This Inquisitor did not come with Elgeri, so if she acted rashly, she would be easily detected.

But if the Inquisitor could have held back Elgeri that day, the plan to rescue Letty would have been much safer.

Xing Feng opened the pocket watch that Lisa had given him. The hands on it were turning non-stop, and it seemed that the final moment was approaching.

The time was clearly getting closer, but Xing Feng was becoming more and more anxious.

This eerily quiet atmosphere is like the calm before a storm.

Given Elgeri's personality, she would never be controlled to be so submissive. Would she really just let it go?

But according to Li's information, Eljieli spent most of her time in the house she bought, drinking tea and reading books leisurely, with almost no abnormality.

Lisa once comforted him and told him not to worry too much, she had sent people to investigate in depth and there would be no accidents.

But Xing Feng always felt that this plan was too idealistic and things would never go so smoothly.

Elgeri must have noticed something, just like when she first escaped to Rose Territory and mistakenly thought that everything was settled, but was easily caught by her and tortured.

He wanted to tell Farah about Lisa's plan, but Farah was nowhere to be seen all day, so he had to write everything down in a letter and ask the maid to pass it to her.

However, Farah remained silent, and no one knew whether she had received the letter or had other plans.

It would be best if the plan to rescue Letty succeeded.

But if you fail...

Did Elgeri really think that she had no way to escape, or did she, in addition to threatening with Letty, also have a backup plan to ensure that she could not escape even if she had wings.

If that's the case...

"Knock Knock-"

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Xing Feng's thoughts.

Xing Feng was startled and his heart beat faster.

He turned around quickly, only to see a curly-haired maid push the door open and bow submissively.

"Ma'am, I was asked to bring this to you."

"Who?"

"..."

The curly-haired maid had no expression on her face and did not answer. She just gently placed the pot of green plant in her arms on the table, and then retreated silently.

Xing Feng felt a little strange, looking at the pot of green plants.

It's just a well-cared-for pot of fern, with lush green leaves that looks vibrant.

Who would give this to themselves for no reason?

Xing Feng walked closer subconsciously, and his fingers were about to touch the leaves.

Becky, with dirt all over her face, suddenly rushed in, holding a small shovel in her hand and speaking in a panic.

"The garden! The plants in the garden have gone crazy!"

"what?"

Xing Feng looked out the window in the direction her finger pointed and was shocked by the scene before him.
