The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Thank you for your hard work."

She didn't say anything to blame the group for causing trouble in public with the Starweavers team; instead, she offered a gentle word of comfort.

"Wow! Miss Moon Guardian!"

Upon seeing the other party, Mo Feng immediately jumped up and pounced on them like a spoiled child, shouting, "Those Starweavers bullied us while you were away!!"

This guy is pretty quick to complain, Ye Xiao thought to himself with amusement.

Astra grabbed Shuoye's arm, dragging the small-statured Astra against the wall, then put one hand on her hip and looked at her captain, "Xiao Li, how do you manage your teammates?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry."

Miss Li gave a sheepish smile and playfully stuck out her tongue, "It's just that I heard Miss Astra was sabotaged by the other side, so I wanted to get revenge..."

"Your Excellency, please don't blame Miss Li. I acted on my own initiative..."

Shuoye, whose arm was being pulled, hurriedly spoke up.

"You think I don't know your flaws!"

Astra, enraged, raised her hand again and twisted Shuo Ye's ear. "I'll deal with you later! But you can't do things without Xiao Li's permission!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, my ear is going to fall off, sir..."

Despite being such a tall person, Shuoye was hunched over, his facial features twisted into a jumbled mess.

Astra then released Sakuya, hands on her hips, "I can handle my own affairs, I don't need you to stick your neck out for me! Understand? Just do your own thing!"

"Did you hear me!"

"Yes, Lord Astra."

The group then bowed their heads to Astra and admitted their mistake, just like children.

On the other side, Miss Guardian of the Moon comforted Miss Mofeng, who was snuggling in her arms, while turning her gaze to Ye Xiao.

"You must be the new member the adults were talking about. I've heard about what's happened to you along the way. I'd appreciate it if you could take care of these children."

"Miss Guardian of the Moon, he's my little brother. I should be the one taking care of him!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Feng raised his head and said somewhat unconvinced.

"Okay, got it."

The tall, blue-haired girl gently stroked Miss Mofeng's head and smiled tenderly, like a mother doting on her child.

"It's alright, hey."

Ye Xiao scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He now understood why everyone in his team respected this executive officer so much. Just by meeting her, he could tell that she was indeed a very charismatic older sister type.

In comparison, the Dream God, who should be considered a superior deity, is like a child, making dealing with him quite torturous.

As Ye Xiao was thinking this, a girl who was dozing off while hugging a cloud, whose location was unknown, suddenly sneezed.

While the two sides were talking, the Duke's personal guards heard the commotion and rushed over.

The captain of the personal guards was the same person who had dealt with the conflict between Ye Xiao and Feng Shu that afternoon. As soon as he arrived and saw Ye Xiao's familiar face, he felt a headache coming on.

Fortunately, this time there was no torture as he had expected. Astra pressed down on the heads of his squad members, apologized to the captain of the guard, and the matter was dropped.

With the arrival of the executive officer, the fight naturally stopped, and both sides dispersed immediately.

However, before leaving, Shuoye gave Ye Xiao a final push, saying with great enthusiasm, "Let's have a good competition next time."

Ye Xiao waved his hand speechlessly, while Astra grabbed the guy's ear again, cursing and dragging him away.

Afterwards, Miss Shouyue led Ye Xiao and his group to the banquet hall's lounge, where they found a quiet corner to drink the banquet's wines and chat.

“Mr. Kalon, this is our first meeting, isn’t it?”

Upon arrival, the Moon Guardian greeted them warmly, “I am an executor under the Sage. Moon Guardians Serene, Raymond, and Zhou Lixun, whom you know, are all my subordinates.”

"Hello, Lord Selene, I am Anshapkaron."

Ye Xiao looked at Miss Selene's slightly upturned lips and figured that she probably knew his true identity, so he didn't bother to waste any unnecessary effort on making up a background.

"Just call me Miss Moon Guardian, or Miss Selene,"

Selene responded gently, "Please take good care of these children from now on."

"Wait a minute, Miss Moon Guardian, why is he being so kind to us? We're the seniors, after all!"

Mo Feng said sullenly.

Selene didn't answer Mo Feng's question, but just smiled kindly, while Raymond, standing to the side, thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

He had long suspected that Anshapkalon was not simple, with a mysterious background. During the battle of Grey Peak Pass, he had not been at a disadvantage against Vatrian and the Red Dragon.

But since it was someone assigned by the supervisor, Raymond didn't dare to suspect too much. Now it seems that he might be the older brother that the superiors specially found for them.

This prompted him to nudge Ye Xiao with his elbow and whisper, "Hey, Brother Kalon, you wouldn't happen to be a chosen one of some true god, would you?"

"Nothing."

Ye Xiao shrugged.

Ella is probably not a true god, and he is not a proper chosen god either. Strictly speaking, he should be... well, a god's son-in-law.

"These two must be friends of the Dark Shepherd. Please excuse the embarrassing incident that just happened."

Selene then turned to the taciturn Deborah and Doma, saying, "I hope you won't take some minor conflicts between departments to heart."

"It's okay, it's okay. We feel pretty good being with everyone."

Deborah clasped her hands together in a gesture resembling a week, saying, "You are all excellent partners in the future fight against the witch's evil intentions."

"Hey sis, why don't you say anything for ages, and then you have to bring me up the moment you open your mouth?" Ye Xiao was speechless.

"Miss Moon Guardian, why did you suddenly come back this time?"

Raymond began, "I thought you weren't planning to attend the banquet tonight."

"The Supreme God has summoned us all back, because the Ascension Plan has reached the stage of preparation for its launch."

Selene said softly, "This banquet is not only a welcome party for the eldest daughter of the Duke of Tyran, but also a trading ground for the Tyran family to select the right to be a torchbearer."

"Slots for the torch relay?"

Raymond was completely confused.

"The candidates to cross the stargate in Project Fire, a sub-project of the upgrade plan."

Selene smiled slightly and said, "You may not be very clear about the details of the Upgrade Plan and the Fire Seed Plan yet, but I will explain them to you later."

"Now all you need to know is that at tonight's banquet, the Tyron family needs to finalize the list of those who will accompany Miss Windsor to Aslan for the Fire Seed Project, and I hope that you will be on that list."

Chapter 145 True or False Intentions

"List?"

The team members looked somewhat confused.

"good."

Selene nodded gracefully, tapping her finger lightly on the crystal ball, causing images of several enormous airships to appear.

"According to the Tyron family's terms, Miss Windsor is qualified to participate in the Fire Seed Project. In addition to her family and friends, she can also bring about twenty servants and guards with her."

The qualification for the Fireseed Project... In other words, Duke Tyron hopes that Miss Windsor will also leave this world through the Stargate?

Ye Xiao pondered in his heart.

This is not incomprehensible. Even Duke Tyron was not certain that the ascension plan would succeed, and it was impossible to predict how the upcoming war of gods would change the world.

In this situation, it is understandable to use this alternative plan to secure a future for the only heir.

"But I don't quite understand,"

Miss Maple spoke up, "Miss Moon Guardian, if you want us to participate in this plan, wouldn't it be better to just assign us nominal guard duties? Why take up Miss Windsor's spot?"

"Because your real goal is to escort Deborah to participate in the upgrade plan."

Selene replied slowly, "Therefore, I do not want you to participate under the guise of 'company assignment,' but rather under the private name of 'participating in the Fire Seed Project by taking advantage of Miss Windsor's accompaniment slot.'"

Mo Feng scratched his head, still puzzled, while Raymond immediately realized: "I understand. So, just like this trip back from the Western Frontier of Loren, it's still to cover up Deborah and the others' whereabouts?"

Selene turned to Raymond and nodded approvingly. "You should already be aware that there's a traitor within the company, right?"

"Windsado".

Raymond stroked his chin. "I've heard about this person from Manager Zhou."

"That encounter in the Western Frontier was related to him. Not only were there powerful dragons, but there were also traitors from the Dark Shepherds, which caused us heavy losses..."

Raymond was halfway through his sentence when he seemed to suddenly remember someone, and his expression darkened.

"Yes, Xiao Luo also went missing in that battle."

Selene sighed softly.

"As expected... she is your chosen one, even you cannot contact her?"

Raymond was somewhat taken aback.

“I can only sense that she is still alive, but she has severed her spiritual connection with me.”

Selene gently stroked the crystal ball, and the light and shadow on it changed again, transforming into a natural street scene where Gothic spires and trees intertwined.

In the window of one of the houses, the figure of a black-haired girl who looked quite familiar to everyone was partially hidden behind a curtain.

"This is... Miss Luo?"

Mo Feng's eyes widened slightly.

"The spies spotted her in Leonia,"

Selene said slowly, "Although there is no evidence to confirm whether she has made contact with Windsor, she has not returned and has severed ties with me by unknown means. Even I can no longer guarantee her current position."

"Moreover, it is conceivable that traitors are also carrying out clandestine activities in Aslan, most likely targeting the ascension plan as well."

Raymond's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously clenched his fist.

He thought of his companions who had been killed by the dragon girl in the Western Frontier, and the thought of possibly facing that powerful enemy again filled him with an instinctive fear.

But what he couldn't understand was why Miss Luo didn't come back, but instead colluded with the other party.

"On the bright side, this doesn't necessarily prove that Miss Luo betrayed us."

Ye Xiao suddenly spoke up, "We'll only know the truth when the time comes."

“…Well said, Brother Kalon.”

Raymond patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder. "Indeed, even so, it's too early to conclude that Miss Luo has betrayed us."

"Well, I'm saying all this just so you can be more careful."

Selene smiled with satisfaction. "The two friends of the Dark Shepherd have always been, in public, members of our team on loan from our partners, and also our team's spies. Please remember, do not reveal the true purpose of 'escorting' them to anyone."

"Does anyone here... include the Dark Shepherds?"

Ye Xiao keenly noticed a clue in Selene's words.

"Yes."

Selene gave an affirmative answer.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and took a sip from the glass full of red wine.

Compared to Raymond and others, his thoughts were more complex.

In Selene's words, the information that Deborah and Doma are "shepherds of darkness" is public knowledge, and the most crucial and confidential information is that they need to be "escorted to Aslan".

why?

It's understandable that they escaped from the western border, since it was on the territory of an enemy country. But why did they have to be so secretive when they went from Tedeh to Aslan?

To put it bluntly, Aslan may seem like a war-torn region, but the demon legion belongs to the company, and the sea race legion belongs to the Dark Shepherds. Aslan is left with only the northern province, which is in turmoil. Moreover, there is the second princess, who may be controlled by the Dark Shepherds, in the royal family.

In other words, Aslan is much safer than Loren for the company.

If Deborah is a key figure in the plan, why not simply have the Dark Shepherds come and teleport them using spatial magic? Wouldn't that be much safer and more reliable than sending a large group of people across half the continent by airship? Point-to-point teleportation would prevent traitors from kidnapping her.

Ye Xiao still remembered that the curly-haired man in the Dark Shepherd, Kronos, was fully capable of this, after all, he had helped Samael and Susie Yun meet once before.

If Deborah's importance is not actually that high, not to the point where Kronos could be asked to help, why would the Moon Guardians give them so many instructions and specifically use the Fire Seed Project to cover up their purpose of escorting these two people?
