You sat on the boat and enjoyed the scenery.

The person enjoying the scenery was watching you from upstairs.

…

He looked across the misty rain over West Lake. The rippling lake brought forth dense mist. From a nearby temple came the sound of a bell, which spread out in all directions, sounding distant and empty.

In the rain, West Lake was very beautiful.

In a trance, his eyes were occupied by the spectacular scenery.

Over West Lake on Mingyue Tower, he was sitting in an elegant private room full of the fragrance of tea. Through the window, his eyes had been focusing on a lone boat on the lake.

The lone boat was far away from Mingyue Tower. It was so far away that the lone boat looked very small, and the same was true of the person on the lone boat.

The boat on the water appeared and disappeared, drifting aimlessly.

In the bow of the boat sat a shadowy figure.

He seemed to be fishing, motionless and utterly silent.

In the private room, he looked at it quietly and took a sip of the cool tea on the table.

The wind blew suddenly outside the window.

When the wind pa.s.sed through, it rolled up the misty rain, ruffled the surface of the lake, and disturbed the ripples that scattered leisurely on the lake and the boat.

The boat was swaying in the wind and getting closer to Mingyue Tower.

He paused a little as he drank his tea, and his eyes narrowed as he watched the shadowy figure fishing on the boat.

He put down the teacup and whispered to himself, “It’s still too late.”

…

“What’s late?”

An old voice sounded.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and an old man of about sixty came in.

He stroked the teacup and said nothing.

He didn’t like to explain and didn’t want to say too much in front of his men.

The old man asked again, “What are you looking at, Your Majesty?”

…

There were only two recognized Majesties in the world.

One was in the Vatican.

The other was in Beihai.

A few people now knew that in addition to these two, there was another Majesty in the Dark World.

Few people knew his ident.i.ty and origin.

And those who knew that wouldn’t tell.

So for now, His Majesty was a perfect secret figure.

He sat in a corner of the private room. The dim light enveloped his figure. He smiled, tapped the table, looked out the window at the lake, and whispered, “I’m watching the night.”

His voice was calm, unhurried, and magnetic.

The old man looked out of the window blankly.

Lin’an was rainy.

But when it got dark in Eastern Europe, it happened to be daytime here.

Although it was overcast at this moment, where did the night come from?

The boat on the lake came nearer.

Following His Majesty’s line of sight, the old man finally found something. He frowned and suddenly cried out involuntarily, “Wei Kunlun?!”

“It’s supposed to be Saint.”

His Majesty said in a calm tone, looking steadily and firmly at the lake, “The night is too bright. He is not a threat on our trip to Eastern Europe.”

“Do you want to kill him?”

There was still shock in the old man’s eyes, but the glow of thought began to well up in the depths of his eyes. “If I give it my all…”

“It’s late, as I said.”

His Majesty shook his head.

The old man was silent for a long time before he shook his head with a wry smile. “I didn’t expect that the strongest Sword Master of Mount Shu would be the first Super Master of Samsara Palace.”

“It’s nothing strange. Similarly, no one would have thought that the second in command of the Holy Disarmament Corps in the Vatican would be my follower.”

His Majesty stood up, poured the old man a cup of tea, pointed to his opposite side, and said casually, “Sit down.”

The old man sat down and carefully looked at His Majesty’s face, which was somewhat blurred in the shade. “The follower is still in the Vatican… Do you really want to get your hands on the Vatican?”

“Hmm?”

His Majesty paused, then shook his head with a smile. “Of course not. The Pope is unfathomable, and the Vatican has an aloof position and strong strength, but with too many restrictions, so I am not interested in the Vatican. The follower stayed there because he was already there when I found him. In fact, how to make the follower cut ties with the Vatican is also one of the things I’ve been thinking about the most in the last few years. If it is not done well, it may be a problem in the future.”

“His position in the Holy Disarmament Corps is sensitive. If you want to take the follower out of the Vatican, you must first take him out of the Holy Disarmament Corps…”

The old man frowned.

“I know.”

His Majesty said flatly, “Let’s wait until everything in Eastern Europe is over. Eastern Europe is an opportunity. If possible, I would like the follower to kill Aresis.”

The old man raised his eyebrows, looking blank and puzzled.

“I had a grievance against Aresis that year.”

His Majesty’s tone was cold.

The old man’s mouth twitched. He wished to speak but stopped on second thought.

It had been more than 30 years since the Pope was elected.

Aresis also ruled the Holy Disarmament Corps for more than two decades.

Under the state of coronation, Aresis was second only to Sword Emperor w.a.n.g Tianzong and was even not inferior to Deity.

He had no idea what grievance did His Majesty had against Aresis.

“When I was pa.s.sing through Europe, I wanted to invite their Holy Virgin to dinner. Listen, it was just a meal and a discussion of some business, nothing more. But Aresis thought I had violated the inviolable glory of the Holy Virgin. Hehe, two Invincible Realm experts, together with a hundred superior warriors, hunted me down for nearly six hundred kilometers. Of course, I’ve kept it in mind forever.”

His Majesty laughed grimly. There was a note of indifference in his voice.

“This…”

The old man hesitated.

The follower was still in the Vatican, so he really didn’t want to have a bad relationship with the Vatican. He hoped, if possible, that His Majesty would let go of the grievance.

“Your Majesty, the Holy Virgin holds a high position in the Vatican. In her capacity, it is true that she will not eat alone with a strange man. Your behavior…” the old man said euphemistically.

…

“I know.”

His Majesty interrupted him. “If that had been all, I wouldn’t have minded. You know, I also have faith. Although I am not a Christian, no one can deny my piety. Do you think that powerful force can completely shatter strong faith?”

“Absolutely not!”

The old man shook his head resolutely. “So, Your Majesty, it’s understandable that Aresis hunted you down.”

“I don’t understand.”

His Majesty shook his head and sneered, “If strong faith can’t be shattered, then why couldn’t I invite their Holy Virgin to dinner. But it didn’t take long for Aresis and the Pope to send their Holy Virgin to another man? The Pope was even willing to marry them himself and even kept her status as the Holy Virgin. Ha, a married Holy Virgin? How ridiculous?”

The old man opened his mouth and looked at His Majesty dumbly, without speaking for a long time.

To make the Pope and the Commander of the Holy Disarmament Corps to hand over their Holy Virgin and even allow the married Holy Virgin to continue to retain her status as the Holy Virgin.

In the old man’s impression, it seemed that the Dark World had never had such a powerful and frightening character.

It was as if that person had single-handedly overthrown the whole Vatican.

How insignificant did the Vatican have to be before the other side to be so compromised?

“I…”

The old man spoke with difficulty, “No Holy Virgin in the Vatican seems to have ever married…”

“Of course.”

His Majesty said with a straight face, “Their precious Holy Virgin was of little value in the eyes of the other party. The Vatican intended to marry the Holy Virgin to the man, but the latter refused. Therefore, her so-called t.i.tle of Holy Virgin remained, but she followed him without any reason. When I met the man, the so-called Holy Virgin even poured me a cup of tea. Holy Virgin… ha… Holy Virgin.”

He pulled out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and calmly said, “I’ll tell you a story.”

“Please,” the old man spoke respectfully.

…

“Twenty years ago? Or thirty years ago? There used to be a Chosen One in Zhongzhou State.”

The old man listened in silence, saying nothing.Visit on our vipnovel.com

“It’s just that the Chosen One had a woman he loved. Unfortunately, that year, the Jiang family of south America spent countless resources and kidnapped the woman of the Chosen One.”

“To resist the great pressure brought by the Chosen One, the Jiang family of south America invited several super force groups—the Pope, Aresis, the Heroes’ Club, and Fantasy World, planning to jointly confront the Chosen One.”

“Just for that woman…”

His Majesty smiled. “I didn’t know whether the man was a fool or the Chosen One. He killed his way from South America to Eastern Europe, destroyed six secret bases of the Jiang family of South America, ma.s.sacred nearly 13,000 elites of the Jiang family, and finally found the woman in a secret base in Eastern Europe.”

“And then?”

The old man could not help asking, feeling as if he were listening to a story.

“Then?”

His Majesty said indifferently, “Three Invincible Realm experts, who were powerful enough to be ranked on the Divine List, died on the spot, leaving the entire secret base in a hideous mess. Thousands of elites lost their lives, Aresis sustained serious injuries, and the Jiang family of south America suffered heavy losses.”

“As for the Pope… In those days, he avoided the Chosen One’s five attacks in succession and finally failed to take the sixth attack, so he made a compromise. Even when the so-called Holy Virgin went to serve tea and warm the bed for the Chosen One, he didn’t dare to revoke her t.i.tle.”

The old man had shut up completely. The story had taken his breath away.

When the n.o.bility and dignity of the stunning Holy Virgin were linked to serving tea and warming bed, some of the reveries were enough to stimulate any man.

Including old men.

“Just take it as a story.”

His Majesty snuffed out his cigarette b.u.t.t and smiled. “It was a story.”

The old man nodded with a hollow laugh.

“You are going to Eastern Europe.”

His Majesty said calmly, “If everything goes well in the chaos of Wulan State, Li Tianlan will win. Lin Fengting stays beside Qin Weibai, so the Qin Clan will definitely help Li Tianlan. When Jiang Qiansong finds it hopeless to turn the tables, he’ll retreat to his secret base in Eastern Europe as fast as possible. Since I know the location of the secret base, Qin Weibai knows that of course. I’ve already sent some people to watch over there and all the people there are at your disposal. Don’t have any conflict with Qin Weibai. There’s only one thing you have to do. If Jiang Qiansong can escape the blockade of Qin Weibai and Lin Fengting, save him when you make sure that we’re not exposed. He’s quite useful to me.”

The old man froze and looked at the time.

It should be more than seven in the evening in Wulan State.

It would take him at least ten hours to get to Wulan State from Lin’an.

“Can I make it?” the old man asked.

…

“It was meant to be something that wasn’t planned. If Jiang Qiansong were lucky enough, it wouldn’t be too late. If he died, it would be better to go with the original plan,” His Majesty shook his head and said calmly.

…

“I will go to Eastern Europe later. But before I go, I have to determine the status of some people who may affect the situation.”

When he spoke, he stared at Wei Kunlun.

“Wei Kunlun… No, Saint…”

“He could be a threat to us. But at the moment, he has no hope of breaking through. We don’t have to fear him.”

His Majesty shook his head.

“Who is Military Counselor?” the old man suddenly asked.

…

His Majesty responded by asking, “How do I know?”

Looking at the old man, who was in disbelief, he smiled. “I know a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean I know everything. Some things are secrets. How do I know who Military Counselor is?”

“But we don’t have to fear Saint. Military Counselor is not in much better shape now. We don’t need to be afraid of either of them.”

The old man was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, “Since we don’t need to be afraid of the two strongest Super Masters of Samsara Palace…”

His Majesty asked calmly, “Who told you that Saint and Military Counselor were the strongest Super Masters in Samsara Palace?”

…

The old man suddenly froze in place.

“Qin Weibai’s responsible for getting Samsara Palace where it is today. She is an amazing woman. But remember, when she’s your enemy, you can’t believe anything she says or shows.”

When His Majesty spoke of Qin Weibai, there was naked admiration in his eyes. “She is a formidable woman. So in Eastern Europe chaos, I’ll help her, but I’ll kill her as well, that’s the only…”

“Maybe not the only one.”

A deep voice suddenly sounded in the doorway. A middle-aged man in a white shirt, calm and majestic, came in.

The old man looked up and frowned.

When the middle-aged man saw the old man, he also froze.

The next second, they both laughed and shook hands.

“Secretary w.a.n.g…”

His Majesty greeted him with a smile, “Welcome.”

The one who came to Mingyue Tower at such a delicate time turned out to be w.a.n.g Qinglei, a member of the Decision Making Committee, the core member of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, and the top leader of Wuyue Province!

w.a.n.g Qinglei waved his hand with a smile, sat opposite His Majesty, and laughed. “We’re in the same boat, so don’t stand on ceremony!”
