Chapter 237 Meeting with the Pope

Chen Changsheng looked at Luo Luo and asked in confusion, "What does it mean to be soft-hearted?"

Luoluo looked at him and sighed, and said: "Xu Yourong is the descendant of Saintess Peak. He is deeply favored by the empress and even blessed his father. After the imperial examination, everyone knows that you, sir, are the person chosen by the Pope. Under the current situation, you and her are naturally rivals."

Chen Changsheng still didn't understand. When he wanted to leave Tianshu Mausoleum, Gou Hanshi also said that opponents may not be able to take care of each other, so why should they be soft-hearted?

Luo Luo continued: "Whether there is Zhou Dufu's inheritance or other magic weapon skills in Zhou Yuan, whoever ends up in the hands will still have to see who strikes faster and is stronger."

Chen Changsheng thought that if Tang Sanliu was present, he might reply that a virtuous person lived here. Thinking of that guy's demeanor, he couldn't help but laugh.

Luoluo's little face was solemn and she said, "Sir, can you be more serious? I'm not joking."

Chen Changsheng quickly apologized and asked, "Is it possible to rob each other in Zhou Garden?"

Luoluo said: "As long as no one is killed, no one has anything to say, so we can't be soft-hearted."

Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, then asked: "Then?"

"Sir, you are nostalgic for old friendships, and you are a little at a loss when meeting girls." Luoluo looked at him and said seriously: "Master's wife has an old relationship with you, and she is so beautiful. I am worried that after you meet her in Zhou Garden, , she doesn’t need to do anything at all, just say something softly, and you will listen to her completely.”

Chen Changsheng thought to himself that he didn't even know what Xu Yourong looked like, and there was no old relationship there. He was a little reluctant and said, "The type of man you described is so annoying, how could it be me?"

Luoluo thought to herself that she was just acting like a spoiled brat and you couldn't do anything about her, but now she was being tough. Just thinking about her dignity as a teacher, she did not directly expose Chen Changsheng's weak defense, and said seriously: "Anyway, you have to remember, the more beautiful the girl is, the more likely she is to lie."

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said with a smile: "How come you, a beautiful little girl, have never lied to me?"

Luoluo was startled for a moment, then giggled, punched him, and said happily: "Sir, you and Tang Tang have been together for a long time, and you are getting better and better at talking."

She looked very happy, but actually she felt a little guilty. She wondered if her husband knew that she and he were actually the same age, would she think that she had been lying to him?

Because of his guilty conscience, Xia Jiao's fists inevitably failed to control their strength. The tree trunks were very slippery after the rain, and Chen Changsheng almost fell down.

Luo Luo quickly caught him, rolled her eyes slightly, quickly changed the subject, looked aggrieved, and said, "Sir, I also want to go to the secluded world."

Chen Changsheng couldn't stand this situation, and was a little panicked. He quickly comforted him and said, "Didn't I say before that many people in the Nether Realm may not be able to beat you, such as me."

Luo Luo thought that he was about to travel far away again, and she would never hear such warm comfort in a short period of time. She actually felt aggrieved and said, "The problem is that if you can't access the secluded area, I can't go to Zhou Garden with you, sir."

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said: "Even if you have access to the secluded world, will the Holy Queen and the Pope allow you to take risks in Zhou Garden? Jin Changshi will not agree to it either."

Luoluo sighed: "Sir, your words really don't sound like comfort."

Chen Changsheng felt a little ashamed and said, "I'm really not good at this."

"Sir, if it wasn't to meet the master's wife, then why did you go to Zhouyuan?"

Luoluo suddenly asked seriously. She knew that Chen Changsheng was a person who cherished his time, but he always paid attention to the nature of his mind. Leaving the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books and going to Zhou Garden, this choice smacked of urgency no matter how you looked at it.

Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, then reached out and touched her head without giving an explanation.

Luoluo didn't ask again.

The spring rain was like a thread, blown by the lake wind, and fell on their faces and bodies, feeling slightly wet but not embarrassed. Chen Changsheng reached out and pushed a strand of wet hair aside from her eyes.

Luoluo looked at him and smiled.

Chen Changsheng also smiled.

Luoluo said: "Sir, come back to the palace with me in a moment. The Pope wants to see you."

The smile on Chen Changsheng's face suddenly disappeared.

…

…

In the evening, a carriage drove out of Baihua Lane and arrived in front of the palace.

Under the protection of more than a dozen strong demon clan men and state religion priests, Luo Luo continued to ride the carriage to the Qingxian Palace along the Shinto outside the ancestral temple and the palace annex.

Chen Changsheng, under the guidance of two bishops, followed a sacred path that he had never set foot on before, heading towards the main hall of the Li Palace.

The setting sun is like blood, but it doesn't have any meaning of fighting and fighting, it's just Zhuang Su.

The priests and scholars who walked on the Shinto path recognized his identity and stepped aside.

As of today, the entire continent already knows that this freshman from the National Education Academy, who caused a stir in Kyoto last year, is the person chosen by the Pope.

Of course, he's a celebrity in his own right. Xu Yourong's fiancé and the first person in the Imperial Examination, no matter who he is, he is qualified to receive the spotlight. Not to mention that not long ago, he spent one day viewing all the tomb monuments in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, and last night the entire Kyoto was bathed in starlight.

Hundreds of eyes looked at Chen Changsheng on the Shinto. The emotions in those eyes were very complicated - shock, admiration, envy, and even awe.

Yes, now he is finally qualified to be awe-inspiring.

It's not about his realm and strength, but about his talent and background.

Chen Changsheng's mood at this time was also very complicated.

From the moment the exam results were announced, he knew that one day he would be summoned by the Pope.

But he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. As soon as he left the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book, he would arrive at the Li Palace, which made him a little unprepared. He thought nervously about what questions he should ask later to ensure that he would get the answers and not be beaten to death with the cane.

Walking under countless pairs of eyes made Shinto seem very long. He was a little uncomfortable before, but now he is very grateful because it gave him enough time to organize those problems.

No matter how long the Shinto path is, it will eventually come to an end. Door after door was pushed open, the dusk became darker and darker, and the palace became deeper and deeper, until they came to the magnificent main hall.

Standing among dozens of statues of saints and knights from previous generations, feeling the solemn light, Chen Changsheng was shocked and speechless.

But before he had time to experience more, he was taken to a side hall on the side of the main hall. The eaves of the palace here extend forward much longer than that of ordinary palaces, so the skylight is blocked a lot. Not to mention that it is twilight when night is approaching, even at noon, this place should be very quiet.

The two bishops retreated quietly, leaving Chen Changsheng alone in front of the stone steps.

There was no one else in this church, so he saw the Pope at a glance.

The Pope is an old man, without a crown or a staff. He is wearing a linen robe and is watering a pot of green leaves.

This tall and thin old man cannot be described by words such as high power and position, because he has already transcended the earthly concept of power.
