Chapter 118 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (4)
007 still hadn't appeared, but his voice still reached Shi Qi's mind: "I saw the God of Light while you were asleep, but he also sensed my presence. So, just to be on the safe side, let's continue communicating like this in this world."
Shi Qi agreed with 007's approach, since the discovery of the original inhabitants of the real small world would also be a problem for them.
Since he had just woken up, Shi Qi didn't really feel like getting out of bed, but then he suddenly thought of Fran waiting for training...
Shi Qi hurriedly put on his clothes and got up. Just as he was about to push open the door, he heard the voices of two children talking in front of the door. So he immediately withdrew his hand, which was halfway raised.
At this point, the soundproofing in the room was still not very good. You could feel that the two people outside had lowered their voices, but you could still hear what they were saying.
One of the voices, which hadn't been heard before, said, "It's already this late, why is His Holiness still waiting here? Has His Holiness the Pope not come out yet?"
Shi Qi was inside and did not hear Fran reply to him.
The child continued, "Why don't you just stop waiting? It's been so long, the Pope probably won't come out anytime soon."
“No…” Fran retorted, “The Godfather said he would train me every day without prior notice.”
Lord was exasperated: "My Holy Son, you're so stubborn! The Pope might just be saying those things to appease you because you're young and don't understand!"
Fran didn't say anything, but he still stubbornly refused to leave.
Shi Qi felt really uncomfortable being talked about like that behind his back, so his face darkened. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he heard the voice of the God of Light: "What are you waiting for by standing here instead of going out? Are you waiting for that kid outside to ride on your head?" The God of Light's tone was full of disappointment when he said this.
A shiver ran through him; His unpredictable appearances and disappearances were truly a test of one's nerves. He didn't answer the God of Light's question, because speaking now would undoubtedly allow the two outside to hear, and might even make it seem like he was talking to himself.
He reached for the door again, and as soon as he opened it, he saw Fran and a brown-haired boy who was a little taller than Fran. He knew very well that this was the protagonist, Lord Augustine.
Upon seeing Shi Qi, Lord's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his head to greet him, "Your Holiness..."
After waiting for a while without Shi Qi speaking, Lord's heart sank. He couldn't help but suspect that Shi Qi had overheard his conversation with Fran. Just as he was about to look up to observe Shi Qi's expression, he heard Shi Qi say from above, "Go back."
It was obvious who he was referring to. Lord left somewhat relieved. Perhaps Shi Qi heard it, but as long as he didn't cause trouble for him, he could pretend that Shi Qi hadn't heard it.
Seeing that Lord had walked away, Shi Qi squatted down and said to Fran, "I'm sorry, Godfather overslept today and made you wait so long. Next time something like this happens, you won't have to wait anymore, understand?"
Fran shook his head, refusing, "I just want to wait for the Godfather..."
Before he could even speak, a sneer reached his ears: "Heh, this holy son is quite stubborn..." said the God of Light.
007: "Why do I feel like this God of Light has taken my place? Host, you won't abandon me because of Him, will you?"
Shi Qi ignored the two voices beside him and looked helplessly at Fran in front of him: "Alright, since you insist on doing this, I won't stop you. Let's go, let's go to training."
After saying that, he took Fran and headed towards the training room.
As Shi Qi watched Fran train, the voice of the God of Light rang in his ears again: "Why are you being so good to him now?"
Shi Qi didn't dare to speak directly, so he found a piece of paper and wrote down what he wanted to say: He was originally a good kid. Although I took advantage of him before, I still feel a little reluctant now. Besides, it's time for me to step down and make way for a more capable person.
Shi Qi thought that even if that person wasn't the male lead in this world, he still needed to stabilize the current male lead before finding that person, so that he wouldn't end up with a miserable old age.
After reading what Shi Qi had written, the God of Light remained silent, only turning his gaze to Fran, who was currently training. He didn't actually believe Ister's words, because He knew this man had always been an ambitious fellow; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to recruit so many people with the power of light. But His intuition still compelled him to believe Ister's nonsense. Perhaps... he really had reformed?
"Godfather, what are you writing?" Fran, who was still training, suddenly turned around and asked.
The child was quite perceptive; even though he had been moving very lightly, the child still sensed his movements. So, Shi Qi pretended to be stern and said, "Don't get distracted, keep practicing."
Although Fran was very curious, he still listened to his godfather and obediently turned his head back.
After a while, Fran asked again, "Did the Godfather actually hear my conversation with Augustine?" This time he didn't turn around and continued training.
Shi Qi countered, "Why do you think that?"
Fran: "I heard footsteps in your room, and the way you looked at Augustine... seemed a little angry."
Shi Qi noticed the pause in his voice: "What, you think I shouldn't be angry?"
Fran sensed the barely perceptible anger in Shi Qi's words and quickly turned around, waving his hand and saying, "No, Godfather, that's not what I meant. I just think what he said was meant to sow discord. You should punish him, not just let him go like this."
"Fate Value -5"
Shi Qi raised the corners of his lips: "As the Holy Son, you have the right to make your own decisions on many things, why should I handle them?"
Fran understood the teaching and implication in Shi Qi's words and nodded solemnly: "I understand, Godfather, I will handle it."
Seeing that Shi Qi nodded with satisfaction, the God of Light couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to raise the next pope to be a cunning and wicked person?"
Shi Qi thought to herself: "What do you know?" But then she wrote on the paper: "Hasn't the God of Light heard the saying—'In times of chaos, kill the Holy Mother first'? In this world, being too kind is not a good thing."
The God of Light agreed with this statement. Moreover, the fact that Ister was able to remain in the position of Pope for so many years was largely due to his personality and style of doing things, which showed that what he taught was not without reason.
