"Now that you know who I am, can you let me in and take a look?!" Ye Lang looked at the door of the room and stepped inside.
"No! Young Master Ye, you should wait here for a while and let them come up first!" The Knights of Light guarding the area did not let Ye Lang in and continued to stop him.
Even if Ye Lang has made many contributions to the Holy City, and even if Ye Lang has a high reputation here, he still cannot be allowed into this room. This is not a place he can enter!
This is a matter of principle, and these Knights of Light will not change their minds!
However, Ye Lang didn't think about going up there. He just stared blankly at the door in front of him and waited quietly for Feng Xing and the others to come up.
Ye Lang now believes that these people are only willing to leave when Feng Xing and the others arrive!
Then let's wait. Anyway, he himself is still wondering what this feeling is like. It's familiar yet a little strange, and he can't quite figure it out.
Perhaps he's just momentarily confused and spacing out here!
"What? Young Master has gone up to the fifth floor?" Feng Xing asked in surprise after receiving the news.
They were originally looking for Ye Lang on the first and second floors. They never expected that Ye Lang would go up to the fifth floor in such a short time. According to their thinking, if Ye Lang was wandering around aimlessly, he should still be on the first floor.
Just to be on the safe side, they also included the second floor in their calculations and sent people to search for Ye Lang's whereabouts!
Also, as part of the procedure, they would notify all the Knights of Light in the palace, instructing them to be on guard and to look for someone if they had the chance.
That's why the Knights of Light on the fifth floor realized that the young man before them was Ye Lang!
"Yes, it's in room number one in the east wing on the fifth floor!" the person reporting said, somewhat embarrassed, simply because of the location—
"Oh...what? Room number one in the East District? That's not..." Feng Xing was startled again, but he didn't finish his sentence, leaving no one to know what he meant.
"Lord Fengxing, what is Room 1 in the East District?" Zhen Xiaoyan was standing next to Feng Xing at that moment, with Xiao Rui with her.
It seems that Xiao Rui was right next to Zhen Xiaoyan the whole time, and her orders had not been lifted. That's why Ye Lang's description was missing the part about "being accompanied by an unbelievably beautiful girl".
"It's a very special place..." Feng Xing said as he walked, and when he got to this point, he seemed to find it a little funny. This place was indeed a very special place, and his words seemed superfluous.
"..." Zhen Xiaoyan remained silent, waiting for Feng Xing's explanation.
Cough cough, thankfully, this Zhen Xiaoyan isn't as shrewd as the other two Young Mistress. Sigh, having those two is really troublesome for the Young Master. Zhen Xiaoyan is much better; she's the perfect wife type. Being with the Young Master would be perfect.
Huh, what am I thinking? I have no right to meddle in these things!
"Did you know that there are two unique positions in the Holy Church?" Feng Xing's question seemed a bit strange, but it was relevant to the topic.
"I know, first of all, the Pope is the only one. No way, could that be where the Pope is? Then let's hurry up and find Ye Lang. The fifth floor, right..." Zhen Xiaoyan became frightened after hearing this and started running towards the fifth floor!
"Uh..." Feng Xing watched Zhen Xiaoyan's disappearing figure, and all he wanted to say was, "Miss Zhen, you haven't finished speaking. That was just your speculation..."
The Pope is not on the fifth floor, and there are no guards in the Pope's area, at least not so many!
This is not because the Pope is less important than this, but because the people around the Pope are all top-notch experts, whose strength far surpasses that of this group. Besides, the Pope is, after all, the Pope, possessing considerable strength, which seems to be deeply hidden and known to few.
"Let's go, hurry up and inform Miss Lan Yu and the Seventh Princess! Tell them to go up to the fifth floor!!" Feng Xing didn't say much at this time, but just had someone inform Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess, and then he quickly followed.
Although it was a misunderstanding, even if it was, it doesn't seem to be a problem at all!
Meanwhile, also within this Cloudtop Palace, in a brightly lit conference room, four Archbishop sat around a long table, chatting—or rather, discussing matters!
If Ye Lang were here, he would wonder why these four Archbishop are all the same, whether they are quadruplets or something.
Simply because these Archbishop were all old men, and they all liked to keep the same long white beards and wear the same uniforms...
Archbishop are senior figures in the Holy Church, and even the Pope has to give them face. If all the Archbishop agree, then even the Pope has to listen to them.
"Have you found out who created the Alchemy Array just now?" A white-bearded Archbishop adjusted his reading glasses, looking at the documents in his hand.
"The investigation has revealed it was done by Troy Mother..." The white-bearded Archbishop, who still agreed, answered the question.
"Arrest him and ask him why he did this?" The previous Archbishop seemed unaware of who Troy was, treating him as an ordinary person.
"If you want to catch him, you'll have to go to the cemetery!" the Archbishop said with a wry smile, whether referring to the matter at hand or to the Archbishop who had asked the question.
"Going to the cemetery? Is he in the cemetery? How could he live in such a strange place?" The Archbishop was a little confused; he couldn't understand it.
"... He died a thousand years ago and now lives in a cemetery, do you understand?" The Archbishop fell silent, surprised that his old friend was unaware of this.
"..." The Archbishop blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
"We examined Troy's belongings and found a will that mentioned this Alchemy Array. It wasn't something he used to demonstrate his abilities, but rather a tool for revenge!" the Archbishop said, frowning as if still troubled by the matter.
"A tool for revenge? What does that mean?" The others were puzzled and wondered about the origin of the word "revenge."
"Yes, it's a tool for revenge! So Troy didn't come here voluntarily, but someone used some illogical means. Alas, even the Holy Church is not immune to power struggles and has a dark side!" the Archbishop said, shaking his head.
