The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Raymond, you have really disappointed me."

"I'm sorry, teacher, I just..."

"Don't you know she is a deity?" A cold voice interrupted Prince Raymond's words.

"Know……"

"I know, but you still got caught up in it? You really think that little injury won't hurt her?"

"No, teacher, I just glanced at her subconsciously. After all, she's our ally now..."

"ally?"

"No! I... I mean, at least temporarily we share a common stance..." Prince Raymond stammered as he explained, but his nervousness made his words increasingly incoherent.

"Enough, Raymond!" the voice interrupted impatiently.

Prince Raymond immediately fell silent.

"incredible."

“I don’t even see any divine power or traces of the threads of fate being manipulated in you.”

"She is a deity who manipulates people's hearts. Can't you even see that?"

Isn’t it the same for you?

Upon hearing the words "teacher," Prince Raymond suddenly had this thought pop into his mind for no apparent reason.

Then he seemed to realize something immediately, cold sweat dripped down his back, and he was somewhat terrified that he had just had such a thought.

No, why? How could I possibly disrespect the respect due to a "teacher"?

"I can accept that I didn't find out her true purpose, but I used her to bring Evans down."

Unaware of Raymond's thoughts, the "teacher" continued coldly, "But after using her, to let her do whatever she wants and cause trouble, even allowing potential risks to develop right under your nose—is this what I taught you?"

Did she... not notice what I was thinking just now?

At that moment, however, Prince Raymond was thinking about something else entirely.

But he immediately realized what was happening and quickly gathered his wandering thoughts.

If the other party were to read out such a rebellious thought, he would be in deep trouble.

"Sorry, teacher."

"All you do is apologize. What good are your apologies? You should apologize to yourself, apologize for the throne that was rightfully yours!"

"A goal that could have been achieved this afternoon has been extended by an extra week. Can you imagine how many unforeseen events could have occurred during that time?"

"I'm sorry..." Prince Raymond felt the anger in the other's tone, and his body trembled even more.

"Don't apologize to me anymore!!"

However, this seemed to make the other party even angrier.

"I need your next move! What are you going to do next?! Tell me!!"

“I…then I’ll expel Ella Havie from the faction first…”

"Why are you still thinking about that damned Ella Havie?!" The usually cold voice finally couldn't contain its anger. "Now you're kicking her out, are you implying she'll go to the other side and fight us?!"

"I……"

Prince Raymond was incredibly annoyed. "You were the one who said we should stay away from Ella, but now you can't just kick her out."

"Go and find out what's behind Isaac right now!? The bizarre abilities he displayed in the palace hall, able to block a transcendent mage's lightning spell, is that his original strength!?"

"Third-party forces have already entered the fray, and you don't even know something as simple as figuring out their situation?!"

"And then there's Skadi. She doesn't have many capable people around her right now. The only ones who can be considered useful on the surface are Isaac and that knight-maker. Don't you know you should take this opportunity to get rid of these two of her key henchmen?!"

"Do you really want to wait for her to gather her forces and come to the palace hall for a formal duel with you in half a month?!"

"Ella Hayville, Ella Hayville, all you can think about right now is getting involved with that woman. I really can't believe I've produced a student like you!!"

"If you continue to be this stubborn, then let Barnard take your place. You are utterly unfit to be king!!!"

Prince Raymond endured a barrage of insults from the person opposite him, but dared not utter a sound.

"Where's the reply???"

"Yes...yes, teacher!"

"what……"

The voice let out a long sigh, as if suppressing anger.

She'd been training this guy for so long, and just because that woman Ella Hayville gave him a couple of flirty looks, he was completely bewildered. It was really hard for her to hold back her anger.

"Once you understand, act quickly and don't make me rush you anymore."

"Yes, teacher!" Prince Raymond hurriedly stood up, even knocking over the chess pieces on the board in his haste.

Then he turned and ran out of his bedroom as if fleeing.

"Truly... useless." With a gentle wave of his hand, the chess pieces scattered on the table floated up and returned to their places.

Chapter 85 Polk Estate

the other side.

After dinner, Ye Xiao and Skadi were saying goodbye at the entrance of the academy manor area.

"Your Highness... I have some matters to attend to... I need to make a trip ahead of time... I'll leave you here."

"Hey, I've officially entered the royal selection, what else do you want to do? Don't you know you should be in my room protecting me?" Skadi said, hands on her hips.

"I'm in the academy...it's very safe..." Ye Xiao was still in a listless state. He was numb and didn't know when this annoying debuff that Ella had given him would disappear.

"The entire academy faction supports the Fourth Prince, which is actually more dangerous, isn't it?!" Skadi said, pursing her lips. "What if the headmaster comes to assassinate me in a minute!"

"It's not that bad..." Ye Xiao scratched his head, "Besides, isn't there a commander-in-chief..."

Upon hearing this, Skadi turned to look at Isaac, who was standing beside her, tall and imposing in a black trench coat with a gloomy expression.

"No way! How can a grown man just barge into a girl's room like that!"

"But I'm a man too..." Ye Xiao couldn't hold back anymore.

“That’s different. You are my knight.”

What does being knighted have to do with being male or female?

Ye Xiao scratched his head, "But I really have something to investigate about a statue... It seems to have a subtle relationship with the royal family, but I can't be sure yet. I'll have to wait until I get back to explain it to you."

"Fine, fine, you jerk, I won't know if you go looking for other women anyway."

"I really didn't..." Ye Xiao subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he remembered that he seemed to have just seen "other women" yesterday, and immediately touched his nose guiltily, feeling a little embarrassed to refute it.

"Hmph, you just have to come back safely, okay? I need you to come with me to meet the other nobles tomorrow morning."

"Hey, you can't just make promises you can't keep..." Ye Xiao smiled through his tired face. "But don't worry."

After the two said goodbye, watching the late-night snack's staggering figure as it left, Isaac finally spoke up, "Your Highness, although I support you, you were so intimate with a commoner knight just two days ago, and now you've changed to someone else. Although I don't mean to express any opinion on your life, it is your freedom after all... but isn't it... still a bit inappropriate?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Skadi was taken aback. "It's the same person. This is the knight you met last time."

"Huh?" A look of surprise appeared on Isaac's usually calm and weathered face. "It's only been a day, how come he looks like a dried-up corpse??"

“Hahahaha…” Skadi laughed gleefully. “I don’t know either. You’ll have to ask him when you meet him tomorrow.”

……

Leaving Isaac and Raven to guard Skadi, who is now an important heir to the throne, Ye Xiao rode in a carriage to a private room in the Adventurers' Guild Hall, where he met Li Cheng.

"Brother Ye, I ordered a few dishes for you too, come and eat... Holy crap, what's wrong with you??"

Li Cheng was obviously very excited to see Ye Xiao, but he was immediately startled by Ye Xiao's zombie-like appearance.

"Dude, that princess... she's that strong?" He raised an eyebrow and whispered, "That's true, but honestly, you gave your first time to the princess and not the Holy Maiden, isn't that a little bit unfair..."

"Ugh, get lost!" Ye Xiao punched Li Cheng's shoulder in annoyance. "Why do you talk so much!"

Although they have been keeping up with the information on the community system, it is still something to celebrate when friends meet offline.

"Stop with all this nonsense, I'm a respectable person."

"Hmph, he was paired with Miss Saintess, and he even deliberately left me alone in the dorm." Just then, a soft, childish voice came from Ye Xiao's collar, and a kitten peeked out, "He was paired with her all night and then thrown back like a dried bean..."

"Hey!...Hey!..." Ye Xiao quickly covered the kitten's mouth.

The little guy was left alone in the dormitory the night before, and today he's been cooped up in Ye Xiao's clothes all day without saying a word, so he's really resentful.

"Ah!!! My holy maiden... has she finally fallen victim to your wicked ways...?"

"What do you mean, 'Your Holy Maiden'?!" Ye Xiao's lips twitched. "What's it to you?!"

"Hey, even if we're brothers, you can't slander my loyalty to the Holy Maiden!" Li Cheng puffed out his chest and said, "Don't forget my ID!"

"Why haven't you changed that lousy ID yet?! I've been saying it's been a month already, hurry up and change it!"

"How could I possibly change it? What if someone else registers my number first!"

"Who cares about registering that lousy name?!"

"Hmph, you don't understand. I can only say you know nothing of the greatness of the Holy Maiden." Li Cheng turned his gaze to the cat being rubbed by Ye Xiao. "Speaking of which, I almost forgot about the one you were hiding in your clothes. So, how's your relationship going?"

"You'll die if you don't stir things up, won't you?!" Ye Xiao's listless appearance almost made Li Cheng vomit blood. "Seriously, get to the serious stuff!"

"Okay, okay, we're not meeting Brother Xiong here because we want to know more about his love life."

"I think you're just trying to annoy me." Ye Xiao was speechless.

"That can't be, hahaha..." After a few jokes, Li Cheng finally got down to business. "Regarding the statue you gave me earlier, Brother Ye, the brothers checked it out, and it seems to have originated from a place called Polk Manor."

"This Polk is a viscount, and his estate can only be built in the suburbs outside the capital. But it is said that many high-ranking and powerful figures often secretly come and go from his estate."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. "I subconsciously wanted to ask what those high-ranking and powerful figures were doing, but when I thought about the name of that statue, Slaanesh the Imp, I felt I had a pretty good idea."

"You're incredibly insightful about these things, Brother Ye! Hahahaha!"

"Are you praising me or insulting me...?"

Whether the statue's appearance at the academy is related to the imperial selection or simply another hidden thread within the imperial city remains unknown to Ye Xiao.

His roommate hasn't returned to the dorm for several days since that day.

There was something strange about this, making Ye Xiao uneasy.

“Just as you said, Brother Ye, that manor seems to be a place where those important people hold some kind of fun little parties.” Li Cheng waved his hand. “Therefore, I’ve heard that many young and beautiful noble girls often come and go from that manor late at night.”

"Hmm..." Ye Xiao stroked his chin, "It seems to be a place used by some low-status female nobles to secretly achieve their goals."

"That's not true, Brother Ye. Who said it only applies to low-status female nobles?"

"...?"

“Well, Brother Ye, there’s no time like the present,” Li Cheng said with a subtle smile. “Tonight happens to be the day their little party is held regularly. It’s a good opportunity to teach Xiong Di how to hook up with rich women.”

Chapter 86 Each Displays Their Unique Abilities

It must be said that the Seven Stars Society is still quite strong.

Li Cheng managed to build a small intelligence network of all sorts of people, and they actually managed to get two fake identities as relatives of a baron. They rode in two old carriages to the Polk Manor, located in the suburbs outside the city.

It was a manor nestled among low hills and forests.

The carriage traveled along a quiet, winding road, and after several turns, the brightly lit manor came into view.

The guards at the gate stopped their carriage, scrutinized the coachman hired by Li Cheng, and asked, "Do you have an invitation?"

The driver nodded in acknowledgment and took out a scroll from his pocket, handing it to the gatekeeper.

“Biandel…sir…?” The gatekeeper had never seen this surname before, but the seal on the invitation was genuine, so it was likely a new member invited by the manor owner.

The gatekeepers gave way, and the carriage then drove into the manor.

"Did you also get this invitation arranged by someone?" Ye Xiao asked curiously in the carriage.

“They’re available on the black market.” Li Cheng held up one finger to indicate their availability. “They’re not cheap, but they’re quite popular.”

"After all, it's equivalent to an opportunity for some minor nobles to rise in status."
