Chapter 367: Mr. Pope and Dr. Ace



The Wells family is worthy of being one of the top families in the White Country. Unlike the Jing family's old house and the Yu family's old house with their elegant gardens with small bridges and flowing water, the Wells Manor is a retro and luxurious European style. There is an artistic sculpture fountain as soon as you enter, and even in winter, all kinds of precious flowers and plants are still blooming in the flower beds.

Shi Ling sat in the car, holding his chin and looking at the scenery of the manor outside the window, as if he had accidentally entered a medieval royal garden.

At first, she was simply overwhelmed by the sight of luxury, but wasn't moved at all. That was until she saw the rows of statues, each holding a bowl of lush green chives, staggered in height, on their hands, heads, and backs...

The door of the memory palace seemed to be knocked by something, and something in my mind seemed to be about to burst out, but it was tightly grasped by a hand and could not struggle out.

Shi Ling felt a shaking in front of his eyes and felt dizzy.

"Little Grandmaster, Little Grandmaster..."

The north wind blows the snow, and frost washes the green bamboo.

In the room on the second floor of Wells Manor, the light was warm and soft, pink gauze curtains were hanging down, and the girl's sleeping face was peaceful.

"There's nothing wrong with the young master's body. His sudden fainting might be due to brain hypoxia caused by overuse of the brain."

Shi Zhenxiang, who was standing at the door, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's diagnosis, but still had doubts: "Doctor Ace, is the young master's brain still normal?"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Zhenxiang was given a cold look by Doctor Ace, "Young Master, your brain is quite good!"

Shi Zhenxiang hurriedly explained, "But a year ago, after Junior Grandmother and the Pope went to Dark Mist Island to investigate the miracle and disappeared, when I saw her again, only half a year had passed, but she didn't remember me. Afterwards, the Pope asked me to handle the affairs of the Divine Moon Sect. He personally followed up on Junior Grandmother's situation and looked for an opportunity to bring her back, but she had always been surrounded by other Xuanmen people. It wasn't until Junior Grandmother returned to Dun City this time that the Pope found an opportunity for me to take her back to Wells Manor temporarily."

Dr. Ace is not only a core member of the Shenyue Cult, but also the chief physician at Noah Medical Center, the largest private hospital in the White Country. Of course, Dr. Ace dresses in a rather feminine manner. He is a transgender person, biologically male, but identifies as female, and is undergoing sex reassignment surgery. This is not uncommon in the White Country, where there are over a hundred genders.

In addition, Dr. Ace is also a fanatical follower of the young master and does not allow anyone to speak ill of the young master.

In the fan circle terminology, it is called toxic fan.

Doctor Ace said coldly, "Shouldn't the Pope be the first person to be questioned about this matter? The first principle of the Divine Moon Cult is to protect the young master. The Pope should lead by example."

"After the young master disappeared, the Pope returned to the Vatican's Punishment Hall to receive punishment. According to his statement, the young master disappeared because of a conspiracy by the Xuanxian Sect. The Shenyue Sect and the Xuanxian Sect have had a long-standing grudge. They must have targeted the young master and used evil magic to damage his memory, thereby weakening the strength of our Shenyue Sect." Shi Zhenxiang said indignantly.

Doctor Ace sneered, "Which sect in the world has as many sorcerous arts as our Divine Moon Sect? Mr. Pope, you're still so young, yet you took over the Vatican from the old Pope. Perhaps it's because of your lack of experience that you're trying to shirk responsibility after our young master's disappearance?"

Shi Zhenxiang: "No way... Mr. Pope is quite impressive. Although he has only been in charge of the church for a short time, he was personally trained by the old Pope. Moreover, since he took over, the church's territory has expanded by nearly half, and the income has also increased significantly."

Dr. Ace snorted coldly and remained noncommittal.

At this moment, a man's gentle and clear voice came from behind.

"Doctor Ace seems to have a prejudice against me succeeding the Pope?"

Ace and Shi Zhenxiang turned around at the same time and saw a young Chinese man in a suit and shirt, adjusting his cuffs, walking towards them.

Some snow fell on his shoulders, and there was a smile on his clear and handsome face. He took off the gold-rimmed glasses he usually wore. His deep eyes were cold and imposing, as if they could break down people's psychological defenses with just one glance.

It makes people weak, inferior, self-loathing, and even suicidal.

Ace quickly looked away, not meeting his eyes, but his tone was defiant: "If you hadn't used those dirty tricks when we were taking over the competition, how could I have lost to you?"

However, the handsome young man smiled gently, "All is fair in war. Even the young master has recognized me. Could it be that Doctor Ace is questioning the young master's judgment?"

Doctor Ace suddenly became emotional, "Gu Xiuji, stop talking nonsense, I didn't do that!"

Shi Zhenxiang stepped forward to lighten the mood, "Mr. Pope, I was just about to ask the butler to pick you up at the airport, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Gu Xiuji asked gently, "Where is she?"

Shi Zhenxiang knew that he was worried about Shi Ling and rushed over, and said hurriedly: "Young Master just fainted from overusing his brain, he's fine."

Although he didn't know why the young master suddenly overused his brain while sitting in the car.

Gu Xiuji's eyes dimmed slightly, "Take me to see her."

"Young Master hasn't woken up yet."

"That's perfect. Her subconscious is weak when she's still asleep, so I can try to help her regain her memory."

Shi Zhenxiang took Gu Xiuji in to see Shi Ling, but Ace stopped them and stared at Gu Xiuji coldly, "Little Master lost her memory when she was with you. Gu Xiuji, I know your hypnosis skills are second only to your sister Gu Yang. And since Little Master is completely defenseless against you, it won't be a problem for you to tamper with her memory."

Shi Zhenxiang was shocked when these words came out: "Doctor Ace, what do you mean by this? You actually suspect Mr. Pope? It was clearly those despicable villains from Xuanxian Sect who murdered our young master!"

"When the miracle occurred on Mingwu Island, only the high priest of Shenyue Sect knew about it through divination with tarot cards. How could Xuanxian Sect get the news and also go looking for the miracle? And they took the opportunity to severely damage my sect and cause our young master to disappear?" As Ace spoke, his eyes were fixed on Gu Xiuji's face.

Gu Xiuji chuckled, "Do you suspect that I am secretly colluding with the Xuanxian Sect to murder the young master?"

Ace snorted coldly: "Aren't you worthy of suspicion? Besides, Xuanxian Sect is your Chinese metaphysical sect, and you are also Chinese."

However, Gu Xiuji smiled: "Young Master is also Chinese."

Ace was agitated. "You two are different! She grew up in the White Country and can apply for White citizenship once she reaches adulthood. The young master is the soul of the Divine Moon Cult. How can you be compared to her?"

Gu Xiuji's voice was slightly cold. "Ace, I don't want to argue with you. The most urgent task now is to let the young master recover her memory and return to the Shenyue Sect. Without her, the sect will be in chaos."

Ace, however, refused to let her go. "Then take her back to the Vatican first and let the high priest help her restore her memory. Gu Xiuji, I will not allow you to have another chance to contact the young master alone until you are cleared of the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy."

Gu Xiuji raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, his eyes flashing green for a moment, like a lone wolf in the dark night.

This time Ace no longer avoided the gaze, but a light blue light floated behind him, and a pair of huge transparent glowing wings gradually appeared behind him.

Shi Zhenxiang was getting anxious, speaking in a foreign language with a Northeastern Chinese accent. "Calm down, everyone! Are you planning to tear my manor down by attacking me here? It wouldn't take much to rebuild it, but the green onions my junior master planted are priceless. Can you afford to pay for them?"
