The female disciples who had bad intentions towards me started fighting among themselves

Ji Siye said this just to observe some panic on the archbishop's face.

It’s a pity that she didn’t find it.

The archbishop's expression was still so calm, as if he was certain of something, and he was calm and composed.

At the same time, he also responded to Ji Siye in a low voice.

"Master Siming, you are very smart for your age."

"But have you ever thought about one thing? The starting point of this matter is the death of the Pope. If the Pope doesn't want to do this, nothing will happen."

"So, can we think of it this way—"

"Everything was planned by the Pope, including the present and the future."

"Everything happened as expected, just as the Pope had deduced."

Ji Siye broke out in a cold sweat on his back. Yes, the archbishop was right. The Pope could see the afterimage of the future. He should have seen her death and the archbishop's actions long ago.

But she didn't try to change anything.

That meant that all of this was just a game of chess played by the Pope. Everything on the chessboard, even her, was just fulfilling what the Pope had deduced, step by step, to accomplish what each other wanted to accomplish and the future that the Pope hoped to achieve.

......

......

Watching Ji Siye being taken away.

Jing Yan and Wen Youqing both felt like they had just watched a good show, and were somewhat shocked that they could see a real palace coup happening in this day and age.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Seeing Ji Siye's frustrated look, the foolish Wen Youqing, who thought that Ji Siye was plotting against her, actually felt a little relieved.

Idiot, is this possible? It’s so easy to be defeated. You can’t do it without a master to teach you!

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you."

At this moment, the archbishop changed his attitude and spoke to them in a gentle voice.

"Qiu Shui has always maintained a good relationship with Nan Posuozhou. Your invitation to this event is the best reflection of this. The Pope can invite you to the dinner, so I naturally believe that the murderer is not you two."

The Archbishop said humbly.

"Si Ming has a bad attitude. He was spoiled by the Pope. I hope you two can forgive him."

"It's okay, it's just..."

Jing Yan shook his head and asked, "How will you deal with Master Siming?"

"The Vatican is now leaderless, and all decisions must be made by the parliament."

The archbishop shook his head, avoiding Jingyan's question, and continued, "It's just that although I personally believe that this incident has nothing to do with the two of you, it's just that rumors can only make people believe it. The long sword stuck in the Pope's body seems to be pointing directly at the two of you. In order to give an explanation to the outside world, I can only inconvenience you a little."

The Archbishop revealed his true intentions.

"I naturally believe in the friendship between Qiu Shui and the Demon Cult."

"However, this matter will surely become a hot topic in Southern Posuo Continent and even the entire world after dawn. In order to calm the public anger, I hope that one of you will be kept as a prisoner for the time being. When everything is cleared up, you will be cleared of all charges."

260. Master is waiting for you

The Archbishop's meaning was simple.

Leave it to me alone to deal with it, and the matter will be over.

It seems that the Pope’s death is just a “problem” that needs to be solved in his eyes. In his cognition, there is no emotion, only right and wrong.

He was so calm that he didn't seem like a normal person.

Yes, as the archbishop of Nanposo Continent, second only to the emperor, he needs this kind of absolute calmness, especially in this chaotic moment, he needs to do everything in an orderly manner so that the Demon Cult will not be affected by this turmoil.

As for his desire to usurp the throne?

It doesn’t matter. Jingyan and Wen Youqing are not from Nanposo Continent. If the archbishop wants to usurp the throne, let him do so. It has nothing to do with them.

The sword stuck in the Pope's chest belonged to Wen Youqing, and it was also Wen Youqing who was guided by the Pope to see the past history. She was inseparable from this matter. Even the crazy Pope in her mind was silent.

I have seen crazy people, but I have never seen anyone as crazy as this. The Crazy Pope thought he was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that there would be a Pope who faked his death. Whose general is this, and why is he so fierce?

For a moment, the Mad Pope felt that the word "crazy" that was labeled on him was dull and dim.

The Crazy Pope was just curious about the purpose of this move made by the Pope named Ji Qixue.

Just as Wen Youqing was about to stand up and confess her crime to the archbishop, a big hand stopped her.

Jing Yan stood in front of her.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I hope you will keep your promise."

Jingyan looked at the archbishop calmly and spoke seriously.

"That's natural."

The archbishop's expression did not change at all. As expected, he just wanted a result. The process was not important at all.

"Wait a minute, it's obviously me..."

Wen Youqing shook his head and held his master's hand: "It's not like that, Master, you don't know anything at all. In the final analysis, it's actually with me..."

She didn't know how to explain it.

How to explain that there is the forbidden Pope of the Demon Cult in her soul, how to explain why Ji Qixue's attitude towards her is so weird.

If she wanted to explain, Wen Youqing would have to start from a long, long time ago, but she was stupid and would reveal her flaws if she wasn't careful. Then it would be even more troublesome to explain her reincarnation.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Wen Youqing's words attracted the attention of the archbishop. He cast his gaze towards the girl in front of him, his eyes like an eagle, as if he wanted to see through the girl.

The girl felt the archbishop's gaze. After all, he was a cultivator in the Mahayana period, so his strength was naturally much higher than Wen Youqing's. Even though Wen Youqing's soul was strong, she still felt a lot of pressure from this gaze that was almost like an interrogation.

However, a figure stood in front of her.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, my beloved disciple is only anxious to protect me. After all, she is only a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. Even if she has great abilities, she cannot cause any harm to Your Excellency the Pope."

Jing Yan said, "Your Excellency the Bishop is worrying too much."

"I think so."

The archbishop withdrew his gaze and his expression returned to normal.

He had just inquired about the girl in front of him. Her soul was very strange. She was actually missing one soul and one spirit. Such a soul was destined to be unable to achieve the great way, and certainly did not have the ability to do something as big as stabbing the Pope.

"I have a few words to say to my disciple. I wonder if the Bishop can be flexible."

Jingyan said again.

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

The archbishop waved his hand, did not listen, and did not even look at the Pope's body. Instead, he came to the outside of the Demon Palace alone and looked up at the starry sky and the bright moon.

After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Jing Yan squatted down, looked at Wen Youqing, and said, "Remember, you need to report this matter to Tang Jiusheng or Taoist Lingxu, but remember, you are not allowed to tell your Patriarch Yunsu."

Wen Youqing pursed her lower lip and said, "Master, are you going to jail?"

"...Why do you always use such concise words to make up your own words that I don't know how to refute."

Jing Yan took a deep breath and said, "Just like what the archbishop said, I am just a prisoner temporarily. When the truth comes out, he will naturally release me."

"But what if he doesn't keep his promise and doesn't let you out, Master?"

Wen Youqing asked worriedly.

"Don't we have you? You need to pass the message to Qiu Shui. They will naturally try their best to negotiate with the Demon Cult. After all, we haven't really taken action against the Pope."

Jing Yan rubbed his forehead and spoke earnestly.

"But......"

Wen Youqing hesitated for a long time and whispered, "Master, you taught me that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, but your actions are very dangerous. I can see at a glance that the archbishop is hawk-like and wolf-like, and he doesn't look like a good person. What if he deceives you?"

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It's good that you remember this."

Jing Yan did not answer Wen Youqing's question, but rubbed her head instead: "But, as a master, there is no reason for you to put your apprentice in danger."

He looked at Wen Youqing.

"Youqing, you have grown up. Your current cultivation level is considered quite good in the world of immortal cultivation. When you were at this level, your master had already accepted you as his disciple. Now think about it, time has passed so quickly."

"It won't be long before you can become a master. By then, if you encounter any danger, your master won't be able to protect you immediately, so you have to learn to handle things on your own."

"I believe you can do it, dear."

Jing Yan rubbed Wen Youqing's hair, and the girl was like a docile kitten, allowing her master to rub her hair.

When the girl heard the words "You can become a master now", she puffed up her lips.

"No, no, I don't want to leave my master. I want to stay with my master forever."

Jingyan burst into laughter.

"What are you talking about? Apprentices will always leave their master's house. The master can't keep you by his side forever. Don't you want to go out and see the world?"

"No, the place with a master is the best and most gentle place in the world."

Wen Youqing put her little face into Jingyan's chest.

"Master, you must be good and behave yourself, and wait for Youqing to ask Lao Deng to come and rescue you."

Wen Youqing knew.

No matter how much he tried to persuade him, the master would never leave him here alone.

This is how a master is. He is always a little stubborn when facing his disciples.

This is what she likes about her master.

"Old Deng?" Jing Yan smiled and said, "Are you talking about Tang Jiusheng, or Taoist Lingxu?"

Wen Youqing curled her lips and said, "Anyone older than Youqing is considered old anyway."

"What about Master?"

"Master is Youqing's best master, not counting Lao Deng."

"Then I am deeply honored."

till the end.

Wen Youqing took Jingyan's little finger and pinky-pinched it.

"Master, you must be good. Youqing will definitely save you."

"Okay."

Jing Yan rubbed Wen Youqing's hair.

Said softly:

"Master is waiting for you."

Chapter 261: Senior Sister is here to help you escape from prison

Dingsi Prison is an interrogation agency that is feared by the entire South Posa Continent.

The Demonic Cult is just like its name, there must be some "demonic" aspects to it, and the most representative of them is the Ding Siyu Prison, which punishes criminals.

No one knows when this organization was created. Rumor has it that it was founded by a pope after the war between gods and demons began, but there is no way to find out which pope it was.

It extends from the ground downwards, with a total of eighteen floors. People are imprisoned in different dungeons according to the severity of their crimes. The first six floors are called the Hell Realm, the middle six floors are called Purgatory, and the rest are divided into greed, anger, ignorance, violence and doubt. The last eighteenth floor of the prison is called the Heavenly Prison.

But in Dingsi Prison, there are actually special rooms. They are independent of the other eighteen floors and are used to deal with distinguished prisoners.

Ji Siye is one of them.

The room in front of him was clean and tidy. It looked more like a room for meditation than a prison.

However, this room is shielded from all spiritual energy from the heaven and earth. Once one steps inside, except for those cultivators who rely on magic for special physical cultivation, all cultivators will be forced to restrain their cultivation to avoid any trouble.
