Chapter 113: Little Yunmi throws herself into the snow! The winter in Yuangu Pagoda is long, and time...
Yun Fuyu raised her hand: "...Can I take some notes?"
As he said this, he turned over and knelt on the bed, reaching out to grab the communicator on the bedside table, his body arched into a small ball in the quilt.
Zhaohui watched Yun Fuyu moving around in the quilt, and quietly suppressed the upward curve of his lips.
"Go to sleep first. These are just the basics. You'll see more detailed records in books later."
Yun Fuyu: "Wait a minute—I have another question."
There was an important doubt that always troubled Yun Fuyu.
Zhaohui nodded, indicating that he could ask anything.
Yun Fuyu asked, "Why is the Vatican so far removed from power struggles? If there are ordained priests of noble descent among the clergy, then if power disputes arise among the families they belong to, internal strife within the Vatican would be inevitable, right?"
Even within the First Military Academy alone, students can form countless factions based on their different families, and they fight each other all day long.
How could the Holy See be spared?
Zhaohui's eyes curved.
"Xiaoyun is great."
Yun Fuyu: “…”
Yun Fuyu choked a little uncomfortably.
I just asked a question, but Zhaohui suddenly started praising me.
Zhaohui: "There's a key point. The Church and the World Tree have signed a contract - all who join the Church will no longer participate in the power struggles among the various families of the Seven Towers. They will always be loyal to the World Tree, keeping its secrets confidential and never betraying it."
Yun Fuyu frowned.
"How is this done?"
Can this really be achieved with just a contract?
Zhao Hui shook his head. "All I know is that, over the millennia since the Seven Towers were founded, they've all kept their promises, and almost no priest has ever broken their agreement. The true key to the World Tree's secrets is completely in the hands of the Church. Therefore, I don't know the details."
"However, some suspect that this contract is based on the soul level, which is why no one defies it."
Yun Fuyu: “…”
Why, why does it sound a little wrong...
If I hadn't known that the Holy See would be responsible for clearing the pollution, listening to Zhaohui's description, the Holy See would have seemed like some strange brainwashing organization.
But Zhaohui also said the word "almost".
Yun Fuyu: "Almost? That doesn't mean it's not certain?"
Zhaohui smiled and said nothing more.
"Always leave some room."
Then, Yun Fuyu suddenly thought of an important thing:
"Will this lead to a stalemate in the relationship between the Seven Towers and the Church?"
Zhaohui's smile deepened, and he did not hesitate to praise.
"Very clever. Indeed."
Although the selection of priests is a two-way choice, the ordained ministers who have been painstakingly trained by each family, once chosen and given the opportunity to enter the Holy See, will become possessed and will devote themselves to the cause of clearing pollution.
Not only that, he didn't tell his family any of the inside story, even threatening to commit suicide was useless.
In this case, no one wants their family members to be chosen.
Yun Fuyu: “…”
If this is true, it sounds like he may have to contact the Vatican secretly.
There is one more thing.
Yun Fuyu: "Why are the Seven Pagodas called the Seven Pagodas? Where are the towers?"
I haven't heard of any tower at all.
Zhaohui patiently explained:
“The reason why it is called this is entirely due to historical factors.
When humans first acquired psychic powers, aggressive psychics were not used to their suddenly sharp five senses and found it difficult to adapt to their living environment. However, there were few counselors available, and it was often too late to provide them with psychic counseling.
Therefore, each base built a building called a 'Tower', with extremely thick walls to ensure an absolutely quiet resting environment, allowing psychics to rest here and not go crazy due to receiving too much external information.
Zhaohui rubbed his temples. "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell a bedtime story in a lighthearted and cheerful way, but it started to sound like a business matter. Maybe it's just professional inertia."
Yun Fuyu nodded seriously and recorded on the light screen.
"That's okay, I think it's fine this way."
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a light knock on the door.
Yun Fuyu turned around and looked.
Lancelot stood in the doorway, a formulaic smile on his face that was unmistakable.
"Mr. Chao, I'm sorry to bother you, but it's already time for Yun Fuyu to go to bed."
Yun Fuyu: “?”
Does he still have this… uh, fixed schedule?
In the past, Yun Fuyu would often train until she was exhausted and then go back to the dormitory to rest. Her daily routine was very unhealthy.
Chaohui didn't say anything. He stood up and smiled at Yun Fuyu.
"Good night, Xiaoyun. See you tomorrow."
Yun Fuyu sat on the bed with her knees hugged and nodded.
"good evening."
Zhaohui went out first.
Lancelot always stood by the door, like a diligent doorman, and only nodded when he passed by Zhaohui.
After Chaohui walked away, Lancelot looked at Yun Fuyu.
"It's time to rest."
Yun Fuyu felt as if he was nodding all the time.
"good."
Lancelot: "The temperature may be a bit low when we arrive at our destination tomorrow. I have prepared some suitable clothing for you."
Yun Fuyu asked cautiously, "How low?"
Lancelot: "It's going to snow... huh?"
As soon as he said the words "it will snow", Lancelot saw Yun Fuyu suddenly look up.
Lancelot: "..."
Lancelot: "Do you like snow?"
Yun Fuyu was obviously not sleepy anymore.
"I've never seen snow."
At least not in Yun Fuyu's memory.
Lancelot: "Most areas of Yuanguta have a cool climate, long winters, and frequent snowfall. There should be more than half a meter of snow near the sanatorium you are going to this time."
Lancelot observed Yun Fuyu's reaction calmly...actually there was no need to observe at all.
Su Bai's face was originally cold, but after hearing the news that the snow was half a meter deep, her eyes widened slightly, her frowning brows relaxed and softened, only her lips were pursed imperceptibly.
Trying to hide his reaction very modestly.
But in the light of the bedside lamp, the black eyes were reflected brightly, and all emotions were revealed.
Lancelot tried: "Wear warmer clothes so you can build a snowman."
......Um.
The test was successful.
If Yun Fuyu had animal ears, they would probably have stood up by now.
Yun Fuyu nodded seriously: "I will get up on time."
Lancelot couldn't help but laugh sincerely.
"Rest first, you'll be there when you wake up."
*
The consequence of being overly excited is that I tossed and turned and woke up several times throughout the night.
Of course, Yun Fuyu was not only looking forward to seeing the snow scene.
There was also the nervousness of meeting Lin Chaosheng's parents soon.
Fortunately, Yun Fuyu fully enjoyed the benefits of improved physical fitness.
Even if she didn't sleep well the whole night, Yun Fuyu could still wake up naturally before the alarm clock rang in the morning.
He quickly got up and washed up.
He leaned against the porthole again and looked at the vast white land below the distant starship.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Lancelot had just raised his hand to knock on the door when Yun Fuyu stood at the door with a refreshed look and quickly opened it.
Lancelot smiled and said, "Good morning. I have chosen an outfit for you. You can try it on first and change it if you don't like it. Do you need my help?"
Yun Fuyu took the clothes.
"No, thank you. I can wear it myself."
After saying that, Yun Fuyu quickly closed the door and changed clothes, then soon pushed the door open again.
It's a normal-looking outfit.
Black straight jeans, a thin, milky white furry sweater with a slightly high collar to cover the restraint ring around the neck.
The short jacket is a very light purple color, the material is soft and fluffy, but light and warm.
Cui Jue didn't know where to look from.
"You look like a taro and sesame rice dumpling."
Yun Fuyu: "What are glutinous rice balls?"
I seem to have heard this word before, but I can't remember it at the moment.
Cui Jue suddenly felt guilty.
Cui Jue wiped away his non-existent tears, his fierce face looking as if he was about to cry:
"How pitiful! Today I will take you to eat glutinous rice balls."
Yun Fuyu threw a punch.
Cui Jue jumped away with a cry of "Ah".
"Tangyuan hit someone!!"
Lancelot: "..."
My head started to hurt early in the morning.
Yun Fuyu looked down at his coat.
“Why did you choose this color?”
Although it was not fancy, Yun Fuyu had basically only worn dark tactical uniforms before, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly changed into bright-colored clothes.
Lancelot said simply: "It looks cuter."
The clothes were not chosen by Lancelot, but were given directly to the image consultant.
According to Yun Fuyu's wishes, in order to relieve the psychological pressure on Lin Chaosheng's parents, they all had to disguise themselves as student representatives and military academy teachers visiting students' families on this trip... at most, they were students and teachers with a little money.
In short, you must never reveal your true identity.
If Lancelot were allowed to choose for himself, he would probably still unconsciously pick some dull colors.
Um.
Or the one in front of me is more suitable for Yun Fu Yu.
After changing clothes, Yun Fuyu leaned against the porthole with her eyes wide open, her forehead against the cool window, her slender white fingers resting on the inner frame, staring at the scenery below.
Is it true that the starship cannot land immediately?
Unfortunately, the starship cannot teleport.
Even if he could teleport, Lancelot would still insist that Yun Fuyu finish his breakfast before teleporting.
Lancelot was as hard as iron. He escorted Yun Fuyu, who looked like a kitten locked in a window, to the restaurant and supervised Yun Fuyu to eat on time to prevent him from skipping meals when he was busy.
Yun Fuyu silently forked the fried egg while complaining in her heart.
I always feel that Lancelot's business scope is becoming more and more strange.
Do ordinary deputies also need to supervise others eating breakfast?
Zhaohui came over, looked at Yun Fuyu several times, and praised him earnestly:
"This dress suits you very well. It looks very nice."
Yun Fuyu was a little wary and a little hesitant.
If the compliment came from a friend, Yun Fuyu might feel embarrassed.
But after all, this man is Zhao Zhao's brother. Who knows what his real purpose is?
Yun Fuyu avoided Zhaohui's gaze and ate breakfast seriously.
"It's the clothes that Lancelot picked out."
Zhaohui chuckled softly.
"It's different. It's only because you wore this outfit that I noticed for the first time whether this style looks good or not."
Lancelot took up the topic at the right moment, a false social smile on his face.
"The Fenrir family's image consultant is quite reliable. If you need one, I can recommend a few."
Zhaohui also had the same polite smile on his face...or rather, a dagger hidden in his smile.
"No, thank you."
Yun Fuyu: “…”
I always feel that the atmosphere is very subtle.
Yun Fuyu looked at Lancelot, then looked at Zhaohui in confusion.
What is this doing?
But anyway, there was no quarrel or fight.
Yun Fuyu was too lazy to think about it and continued to eat breakfast.
*
An hour later, the spacecraft arrived at its destination.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake on one side. The trees are bare and the snow is thick.
The mountain forests are very quiet in winter, the animals are hibernating, and there is only the occasional sound of falling snow.
The lake in front of him had long been frozen, appearing bottomless black, and the ice was thick enough to build a wooden house on it.
Yun Fuyu looked out from afar.
When the visit was over, he wanted to take a closer look.
But for now...it's better to go to an advanced nursing home.
It is called a sanatorium, but in fact it is a fortress.
The outside is protected by a protective cover similar to that used in joint military exercises, which not only prevents wild animals from appearing at any time, but also ensures that the inside of the protective cover is as warm as spring.
That is why, although located in the vast white wilderness, the sanatorium still manages to maintain its vibrant greenery.
Cui Jue was not interested in meeting Lin Chaosheng's parents and chose to stay on the starship and play games.
Lancelot is responsible for acting as the administrative teacher who evaluates scholarships at the First Military Academy.
Zhaohui plays the role of the head of the Zhuri Tower Foundation, and makes a special trip to apologize for the "changes in the foundation's funding, which forced Lin Chaosheng's parents to go to Yuangu Tower for treatment."
Each one has his or her own duties.
Only Yun Fu Yu came simply to meet her friends and their parents.
Yun Fuyu flew out of the starship.
My feet instantly stepped into the thick snow, making a crunching sound.
The biting cold wind blew in my face. I took a deep breath and the biting icy air penetrated my lungs.
Lin Chaosheng had been waiting at the entrance, watching Yun Fuyu run over quickly... and then plunge face down into the thick snow in front of the door.
Lin Chaosheng: “…”
There was an obvious human-shaped pit on the ground.
After Yun Fuyu jumped into the snow, he couldn't help but move his arms and legs at the same time, as if swimming in the snow.
Lin Chaosheng walked up to him.
"Xiaoyun."
Yun Fuyu felt the cool snow on his cheeks, and the slight dampness from the melted snow seeped into his collar.
It feels very comfortable.
After a while, Yun Fuyu reluctantly got up from the ground and smiled heartlessly at Lin Chaosheng.
"I'm here to play with you."
So happy.

Author's Note: Lancelot: "The image consultants of the Fenrir family are quite reliable. If you need one, I can recommend a few."
[You're kidnapping a student right in front of me, and you're still talking so much nonsense. The Chao family can't afford an image consultant anymore, right?]
Zhaohui: No need, thank you.
[The Chao family is more professional than you. Chao Zhao is in this business. Is it your turn to speak?]
But after all, Chao Zhao went to jail for seeking death, and Chao Hui didn't want to mention it, so he lost the opportunity to fight back.
Plus, both of them are respectable people, so it's impossible for them to quarrel in front of Xiaoyun (.
