In the family compound of the Hua Xia capital.
After returning, Ye Cangtian's first order of business was to report here.
Seeing Ye Cangtian back, Xu Weiwei looked him up and down. Upon seeing that Ye Cangtian was unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She then sat down and asked with confusion, "On the battle net, I saw that the Church of Light granted Nancy the status of Saintess. What is going on with that?"
Regarding the news on the battle net, Xu Weiwei naturally paid attention to it every day.
Upon seeing this news, she was completely bewildered.
Nancy was a traitor to the Church of Light. The Pope couldn't wait to kill her, so how could they give Nancy a chance to redeem herself?
Needless to say, this must have something to do with Ye Cangtian. So, as soon as she saw that Ye Cangtian had returned safely, she immediately began to inquire.
She wanted to see how Ye Cangtian had managed to fool the Pope.
"It's nothing, just a deal I made with the Pope."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, then his expression turned serious. He continued, "By the way, I have reached an agreement with the Church of Light. In a while, they will send people over..."
Since the matter was brought up, Ye Cangtian decided to explain it, allowing Xu Weiwei to make some preparations in advance.
"What!"
Xu Weiwei's eyes widened instantly.
The next moment, her gaze finally turned grim, filled with rage.
"Ye Cangtian, to exchange for the status of a damned Saintess, you actually allowed the Light Squad to enter the Hua Xia ruins?"
"Do you know that the Saintess status is utterly useless? They can give it to you, and they can withdraw it at any time!"
"And those Hua Xia ruins, how many soldiers shed blood to protect them? Are you worthy of them by doing this?"
Xu Weiwei was about to explode with anger.
At first, when she heard that Ye Cangtian was making a deal with the Church of Light, she didn't think much of it.
After all, she knew Ye Cangtian; he was definitely not someone who would suffer a loss.
So even if they made a deal, the Church of Light wouldn't get the better of it, and Ye Cangtian would surely be the one profiting.
However, after hearing the latter part, she couldn't stand it anymore!
This kind of thing, if you put it lightly, it was Ye Cangtian being foolish and shortsighted, but if you put it heavily, it was betrayal, no different from a traitor!
"This is how you see me?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the furious Xu Weiwei, his brow furrowed as he spoke.
"Then how else do you expect me to see you!"
"Should I send people to arrest you, and then send you to the Hidden Division for trial?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Weiwei let out an unhappy snort.
Although Ye Cangtian had been incredibly kind to the Xu family and had made numerous contributions to Hua Xia, if he truly betrayed them, she would have to handle it professionally!
After all, in her position, she had to be responsible for Hua Xia and could not tolerate any favoritism.
"Uh... although you say that, I'm quite hurt."
"But from another perspective, I'm somewhat relieved. This proves that I haven't misjudged you."
Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
Seeing that Xu Weiwei was about to lose her temper again, he quickly raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Don't misunderstand. I am a person of principle. There are some things I will never do in this lifetime!"
With that, Ye Cangtian explained in detail the matter of Nancy being sealed as Saintess and the transaction with the Church of Light.
He also emphasized that the two were not the same matter and could not be conflated.
However, after Xu Weiwei heard this, her expression did not improve.
Although she had some misunderstanding, she still couldn't understand why Ye Cangtian would let the Church of Light enter the Hua Xia ruins.
The next moment, Xu Weiwei suppressed her anger and said, "I want to know the reason why you made a deal with the Church of Light! The real reason, please don't lie to me!"
Sigh!
Ye Cangtian cast a helpless glance at Xu Weiwei and said grumpily, "Idiot. Since it's not a betrayal of Hua Xia, then of course the reason for making a deal with them is to trap the Church of Light..."
Hearing this, Xu Weiwei looked at Ye Cangtian deeply and continued, "What you're doing is very dangerous. Someone will misunderstand, and even try to harm you!"
"For the sake of Hua Xia not being harassed by the Church of Light, these are not problems," Ye Cangtian said faintly.
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Xu Weiwei said helplessly, "Alright, I'll notify them and ask the Dragon Squad members to be more polite to you."
"No need. As long as you know about this, don't tell anyone else!"
"The more genuine their attitude towards me is, the less suspicion the Church of Light will have."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand, then changed the subject. He said, "I will be heading to the Hidden Division in the next two days to arrange this matter. I'll leave the Kyoto matters to you."
Xu Weiwei nodded upon hearing this, acknowledging his request.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian did not linger and went directly to the Grim Reaper Squad's base.
...
At the base.
All the members of the Grim Reaper Squad were present. Seeing Ye Cangtian arrive, they quickly gathered around.
They did not ask about the Saintess matter. In their opinion, no matter what Ye Cangtian did, they would not be surprised, nor would they ask for the reasons.
Because Ye Cangtian had his own considerations and would not let them down.
On the other side, after a lively reunion with his brothers, Ye Cangtian got straight to the point.
He directly asked, "By the way, have those two Cardinal Bishops been captured?"
Upon hearing this, Rose slowly shook her head and said, "Since the last attack, they have seemed to have vanished into thin air."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian asked again, "Are you sure they were Cardinal Bishops? No, I mean, are you sure they were sent by the Church of Light?"
This...
With that sentence, Rose began to ponder. She had already understood Ye Cangtian's meaning.
Undoubtedly, he had doubts about the identity of the Cardinal Bishops.
After a moment, she replied, "These two were indeed wearing red clerical robes, but it's hard to tell if they are people from the Church of Light. They were all wearing masks!"
As she spoke, Rose glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "Did you get any new information from the Church of Light?"
Mmm.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "The Pope and the Heavenly-level expert in the inner court, Dracula, both stated that they did not send anyone to Hua Xia. Their expressions did not seem like they were lying!"
Ye Cangtian explained the repeated probes he had conducted.
Hearing this, Rose also frowned and said, "The most crucial thing now is, besides the Church of Light, who else could have attacked your home and the family compound!"
"That's the problem!"
Ye Cangtian agreed. This was what he had been unable to figure out.
Now, various international forces were very aware that the Church of Light and the rising Hua Xia forces were not their match, so they dared not come to cause trouble.
This was also why, after the specimen hall was exposed, those forces only dared to condemn and insult the Church of Light online, but did not dare to take any actual action against them.
And besides these forces, the Dark Association would not possibly make a move against him.
After all, Xing Yuan was one of them, and he would not issue an order to attack his own family.
With these possibilities excluded, only Hua Xia forces and the Church of Light remained. However, the attitudes of the Pope and Dracula could not be faked.
This left Ye Cangtian very confused.
Could it be that someone among the Hua Xia forces was targeting him?
After all, this was in Kyoto, not within the Hua Xia ruins.
If someone were to deal with him inside the Hua Xia ruins, he could accept it, as there were still traitors within the Hidden Division.
But the entrance to the ruins was sealed. How could those inside deal with him!
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but sigh. Many things were so confusing, and one could only wait for the right time to unveil these layers of mist.
After a long silence, Ye Cangtian looked at Rose and said, "Pack up. Tomorrow, you will accompany me to the Hidden Division."
"This..."
With that statement, Rose was stunned. The others were also stunned. This matter came too suddenly, and they were not prepared at all.
