She was a member of the Papacy, so her heart naturally sided with the Papacy. In her mind, even if the Papacy had its flaws, it was by no means as terrible as he described.
"You're right, the winner takes all."
Xu Shi readily admitted, "But there's nothing wrong with being a little high-sounding; that's what you've always done."
"Is it because of Xiao Luoyu?"
The red-haired, silly girl frowned, her gaze unfriendly, and said, "Have you become this vindictive?"
"who?"
Xu Shi was taken aback, then couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Are you out of your mind? Do you really think I got to this point because of my conflict with him?"
He felt he had overestimated this silly girl. How could someone so naive have gotten to the position of Knight Commander?
As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Tang Shuang beside him.
"...Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Governor Tang was a little embarrassed, but when facing Qin Yiyan, this other worldly person, I also felt that it was really true, and even felt like a different world.
Thinking about it this way, I realize that my past actions were indeed hard to describe... Looking at it from a different perspective, I suddenly have a clearer view.
No, there is a difference... She could actually sense that Qin Yiyan wasn't hopelessly stupid.
She actually knew the reason, but she just wanted to use this self-deceptive method to cheer herself up.
“I have never taken Luo Yu seriously. From the very beginning, my goal has been the entire Holy See.”
Xu Shi pointed out the truth to her, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain. I can't sleep until you're both dead."
"Of course, our promise still stands. Is Commander Qin ready with the maid outfit?"
"..."
Qin Yiyan remained silent, but tensed his body, assumed a fighting stance, and prepared to meet the enemy at any moment.
"There's no benefit to doing this, Master Xu."
The saintess continued, looking at him calmly, and said, "The Holy See has been established on this land for many years. How can you simply erase it as you please?"
"It's clear that you're well-prepared, with strong ships and powerful cannons, and even this Saintess Xia has her own unique skills."
"But are you really confident that you can annihilate us in one fell swoop?"
“If you’re referring to the Vatican, then I think there’s no problem.”
Xu Shi waved the "Jade Capital" in his hand, showing no sign of worry. "Now all that's left are these rotten fish and shrimp. Even if you bite me before you die, how much flesh can you take off?"
"However, I still need to confirm with you, who exactly are you referring to when you say 'we'?"
What do you mean by that?
Upon hearing his question, the saintess frowned almost imperceptibly.
Others in the Vatican were also baffled; what other meaning could this possibly have?
"At this point, there's no point in pretending to be stupid anymore, is there?"
Xu Shi smiled. "Aren't you right, Your Highness?"
"Or perhaps I should address you as Miss 'Observer' of 'Heavenly Principle'?"
"When...did you find out?"
