Chapter 218 No one can refuse Xiao Yunmi to meet the Holy Son!
The day is coming soon when all forces will go to the Vatican to pay homage.
"Rebel representatives" were prominently listed on the list of attendees this time.
Allowing the rebels to enter the Vatican is already a special signal.
Therefore, the rulers of the three jurisdictions, Hengjin Tower, Harmonic Tower, and White Star Tower, tacitly held an internal remote meeting.
Jin Xuan, the current head of the Jin family, is an extremely oppressive woman.
The Jin family was in chaos. Jin Xuan overpowered all his brothers, sisters and side branches to take the top position and took back the power of Hengjin Tower in a swift and decisive manner.
Under her leadership, the development of Hengjin Tower is much better than it was twenty years ago.
Therefore, Jin Xuan will never let the rebels escape unscathed.
Xing Zhaochong said with a smile, "The Holy Son has finally returned, and the Hengjin Pagoda doesn't give him any gifts at all. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Xing Zhaochong, the current head of the Xing family in Xieming Tower.
He was steady when he was young, and now he is even more sharp and rounded.
Jin Xuan: "If the Holy Son wants it, then the Eternal Gold Tower can afford to give away even a central planet, let alone a backward planet. But we can't give Aesera to the rebels."
Jin Xuan emphasized the word "rebels" in his tone.
Irina Valentina Levova tapped her fingers slowly on the table, lost in thought.
"If the rebels establish an independent nation, humanity will be plunged into endless civil war. The Holy Son would not wish to see such a situation and will surely mediate."
Jin Xuan sneered: "But the rebels will definitely demand independence."
Jin Xuan is very familiar with the matter of waving the flag.
At the outset of the negotiations, the rebels will inevitably insist on independence.
Only in this way can they reap the greatest benefits from the Seven Towers.
Irina: "For the sake of the Holy Son, the rebels can be incorporated into the Seven Towers, and Aesera... will be designated as a special administrative zone. Let them do whatever they want; it won't cause any trouble anyway."
Xing Zhaochong smiled and said, "I think so too. However, it is said that the Son of God has a high affinity."
He just threw out this sentence and didn't continue.
Jin Xuan: “…”
Irina: “…”
Jin Xuan: "Let's agree in advance that no one can back down right away."
The Son's existence is kept secret.
However, all the previous heads of families, heirs, direct blood relatives, officials of a certain rank, and soldiers with exceptional performance in the army are qualified to know about the existence of the Son of God.
In the past, they were also entitled to see the Son of God on important festivals such as the Day of Advent.
No one dared to record the physical features of the Son of God, but it was acceptable to use words to describe the intuitive feelings and only let the informed descendants of the family understand the situation.
...Frankly speaking, the information about the Son of God is a bit too exaggerated.
The Xing family once had a patriarch who lost his appetite after meeting the Holy Son.
He never looked for a partner in his life. He said that he could not let go of anyone else and only wanted to protect the Son of God.
After the Holy Son left, the head of the family died of depression.
Hundreds of years ago, the young head of the Jin family also fell in love with the Holy Son at first sight.
But this guy is not a good person.
He tried every possible way to express his love to the Son of God, and when he failed, he even used some not-so-honorable means to try to get close to the Son of God, causing a series of troubles.
The Vatican was so angry about this that the head of the Jin family was eventually replaced.
Judging from the records, the head of the family seemed to be possessed.
The Levoy family is a little better.
Irina's great-grandmother wrote in the records that when she was five or six years old, she followed her mother to meet the Holy Son.
She maintained a restrained and indifferent expression throughout the journey, observing etiquette everywhere. As a result, the young spiritual body of the white lion could not help but run to the Son of God and pounce on his calf.
She was very embarrassed at the time and felt that she had brought shame to the family.
As a result, the Son of God bent down, picked her up, took her to the World Tree, and picked a leaf for her.
The Son of God told her that it was okay, that she was very talented, and that her spirit was very brave.
The young grandmother and child didn't want to go back to the White Star Tower at that time and insisted on staying in the Holy See.
My great-grandmother said that the Son of Heaven was indeed a very gentle elder.
He has a special affinity that makes people trust him at first sight and can't help but want to get close to him.
It is said that it is precisely because the World Tree's affinity is too high that ordinary psychics are completely unable to reject the Son of God.
This was also the reason why the Holy See chose to conceal the existence of the Son of God from the outside world.
After much thought, Jin Xuan still felt that these records were exaggerated.
"It shouldn't be... that bad, right?"
Jin Xuan had never seen the Holy Son, he had only read Yun Fuyu's information.
How should I put it...If it were her, no matter how charming the Son of God was, she would never agree to the independence of the rebels.
After all, the former is a boss who doesn't care about anything, while the latter is the real benefit.
But just in case, the rebels cannot just play the emotional card in front of the Son of God, they also have to be prepared.
Jin Xuan asked Xing Zhaochong, "Your brother is the principal of Shengzi Academy. Let him go with you to meet Shengzi."
Xing Zhaochong's younger brother is Xing Zhaoyuan, the principal of the First Military Academy. He can be considered Yun Fuyu's elder.
Xing Zhaochong teased, "Dear cousin. Your brother is Shengzi's classmate, why don't you let him come along?"
Jin Xuan scoffed, "There's no point in taking him with you. A brother isn't something rare. Besides, Jin Min is twenty years younger than me. He could be my son."
Jin Xuan looked at Ye Lina: "By the way, isn't your daughter a senior student of the Holy Son?"
Yelena's daughter, Veronika? Yelena? Levova.
In Shengzi's final year at the military academy, Veronica was fifth among the ten laurel seats.
But she was already in fifth grade at that time and was not very familiar with Yun Fuyu.
Ye Lina: “…”
*
Two days later.
The day has come for all parties in the seven towers to come and meet the Holy Son.
The bells echoed in the church.
The ethereal echo crossed the vast green grass, crossed the church buildings, crossed the vast and boundless forests, and spread to every distant water.
This is the bell to welcome guests.
Zhou Huai's voice was filled with excitement, but he tried hard to suppress the volume.
“Here, here!”
She was extremely fast, running through the white corridor in a flash, heading in the direction the pastor had pointed.
Seraphina and Setul followed behind.
Zhou Song and the pastor were at the end of the team and could not catch up with Zhou Huai's speed at all.
"Run slower!"
Zhou Huai was so excited.
Many nobles will come to see the Holy Son today.
The governors of each district, the supreme commander of the garrison, the representatives of the Seven Towers Council...
All of these upper-class people have to wait in line behind them.
The corridor is winding and the breeze is refreshing.
She walked through the white corridor, her eyes sweeping across the shallow water in the courtyard and the vast green lawn outside.
Zhou Huai was amazed as he walked along.
Until a few shadowy figures appeared in the corridor covered by vines in the distance.
A tall and slender man in a white robe slowly walked out from the corridor.
Yun Fuyu turned the corner and saw a group of people, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"You guys are here."
This robe was not a loose robe like the Sun Tower style. Instead, it was very narrow at the waist. The exquisite and complex silver embroidery was hidden in the pearly white fabric, and the buttons were also small dark silver pearls.
The sleeves and hem of the dress are very flowing, and they look like they flutter in the wind.
He was wearing a light-colored outfit, which made his skin look even more delicate and shiny, and his black hair looked like ink.
Walking in the shadows, it was like a sliver of cut moonlight.
No matter how many times he saw him, Zhou Huai couldn't help but sigh and give a thumbs up.
Yun Fuyu just raised her hand to rub Zhou Huai's head when she heard Zhou Huai say:
"Brother, your skirt looks great."
Yun Fuyu: "...It's not a skirt..."
Zhou Bai walked up and knocked on Zhou Huai's head.
"Don't just praise the clothes."
Zhou Huai chuckled: "She's pretty too."
Yun Fuyu quietly elbowed Zhou Bai in the lower back.
Zhou Bai bared his teeth and let him poke, "He's not wrong, it looks good anyway."
Yun Fuyu looked at the group of people who had just arrived behind Zhou Huai and thanked the pastor for leading the way.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Seraphina took one in each hand and pushed Zhou Song and Setur in front of Yun Fuyu while they were not paying attention.
"Go ahead!"
Zhou Song and Setul were caught off guard, staggered three or two steps, and stopped in front of Yun Fuyu with their eyes wide open.
They had celebrated Yun Fuyu's birthday together two days ago, but the two children became shy and awkward when they came to the unfamiliar Vatican for the first time.
Yun Fuyu laughed, feeling as if he saw a big animal carrying a small animal in front of it.
He raised his hands and rubbed the tops of his younger brother and sister's heads in a friendly manner.
Today's ceremony is very important. The Holy See will officially announce the return of the Son of God.
Many priests come from aristocratic families and are responsible for the ceremonial aspects of the marriage ceremony.
A priest had asked in advance about the clothing sizes of the rebel representatives and said that the Vatican would be responsible for choosing suitable dresses for them.
It’s too late to make a tailor-made garment by hand, but suitable ready-made garments are also available.
But both Zhou Huai and Saitul expressed their opposition.
Zhou Huai didn't want to trap himself in a dress.
It looks good, but there is always a sense of suffocation of being forced to accept aristocratic social etiquette.
They are committed to abolishing the aristocracy, so do they still need the aristocracy to approve their dress and appearance?
Besides, social etiquette is not as effective as force.
Therefore, the representatives of the resistance army did not wear formal attire, but rather combat clothes.
Yun Fuyu admired her plan and wanted to join the ranks of those who did not wear dresses.
......But the priests argued all night about which dress to choose for the Son of God, and by the time Yun Fuyu found out, they had already made the decision.
Yun Fuyu looked at the pastor's expectant eyes, looked at Gu Changming's behavior of secretly taking away other clothes, and finally put on the dress.
......never mind.
After all, he still has to represent the Holy See today.
*
Amid the endless and distant sound of bells, the priests opened a passage to welcome representatives from the Seven Towers into the Vatican.
On the vast lawn in front of the Vatican, figures suddenly appeared.
Adrian was the first.
He was already familiar with the roads of the Holy See, and his steady steps became faster and faster as he entered the Holy See, becoming both brisk and rapid.
He wanted to see Yun Fu Yu.
During the three days of separation, Adrian felt like each day was a year and could no longer bear any more separation.
The corridors of the Vatican were too long, so Adrian just ran.
The wind lifted the corners of his clothes and blew his hair. Time gradually went back to the time when he was no longer the head of the family. A young man in his early twenties was going to meet his lover. He threw the etiquette of the nobility behind his mind and just wanted to run faster and faster.
The black wolf leaped out of the spiritual realm, landed lightly and silently, and ran expectantly in the direction of Yun Fuyu.
The corridor finally came to an end.
The view suddenly widened, and a huge and lush world tree appeared before my eyes.
Under the tree, a figure in white had his back to him, looking up at the treetops, his whole body seeming to be glowing.
When Yun Fuyu heard the sound and turned around, the scent of the mountains, forests and grass suddenly embraced him.
Adrian hugged Yun Fuyu tightly, with his left hand around her waist, and his right hand, which was not wearing the ring of power, gently supported the back of Yun Fuyu's head.
Adrian's eyes became sore again, and he whispered,
"I miss you so much."
Yun Fuyu let him hug her, raised her hand and patted his back.
The black wolf tried hard to squeeze its head under Yun Fuyu's palm.
While no one was looking, Yun Fuyu rubbed the black wolf's head hard.
......
Zhaohui and Zhaozhao came together.
The pastors along the way looked at the two men in confusion.
Have they discussed it?
Why are they all running to meet the Son of God?
In fact, it was just because, in front of Yun Fuyu, the identity of a noble was no longer important.
I ran faster and faster, and threw away more and more things.
Power, money, fame, achievements...
People say that only when you are faced with life and death can you see clearly what you want most.
For Chaohui or Chaozhao, separation from Yun Fuyu was worse than death itself.
The separation is not seven years, but every minute and every second of those seven years.
That's just too long.
So they have too much time to torture themselves thousands of times.
The answer is very clear.
If the position of the head of the family could be exchanged for Yun Fuyu, Chaohui or Chaozhao would offer it.
If the positions of all the heads of the seven towers could be exchanged back for Yun Fuyu, they would immediately plan to seize power.
Missing each other and being separated are already hard enough to bear, so when they are lucky enough to meet again, they must never have any rift with Yun Fuyu.
This time, Yun Fuyu, who was under the tree, looked at them with a smile in his eyes and had already opened his arms in advance.
......
Xie Huaiyan, the head of the Xie family, and Xie Yurong, the acting head of the family, came together to meet the Holy Son.
During the period when Xie Huaiyan was under house arrest, the Xie family was in a period of transition and leaderless.
The acting head of the family, Xie Yurong, was not particularly outstanding, but he was a moderate and steady person, suitable for maintaining the situation, which was why he was appointed as the acting head of the family.
Over the past seven years, he has suffered from harassment from various forces, and has visited the place of house arrest many times, handing over the unsolvable problems to Xie Huaiyan.
Xie Huaiyan walked very fast, and Xie Yurong, who was half a step behind, could hardly keep up.
Then, for the first time in his life, Xie Yurong saw the head of the family running in the corridor in a panic, running faster and faster.
Xie Yurong ran behind.
Although he knew that the Patriarch had a crush on the Holy Son, he saw him right away, so why did he run so fast...
Across the corridor, the dim view suddenly became bright.
The warm sunlight shines through the huge trees, casting dappled patches of sunlight among the green shadows.
How strange, Xie Yurong thought, it was so high, but I couldn't see it at all when I was outside the church just now.
Amidst the flickering light, the Holy Son dressed in white stood under the tree.
The sunlight seemed to favor him, illuminating his long eyelashes, making him so holy that people dared not approach him.
For a moment, Xie Yurong paused, hesitating whether he should move forward.
Xie Huaiyan didn't even stop, ran into the light, and hugged Yun Fuyu.
The Holy Son raised his hand and put his arm around the patriarch's shoulders, with a very faint smile clearly on his face.
Xie Yurong stared at the scene in a daze.
......So it’s not a secret crush?
......
In other areas of the Seven Towers, the heads of the Levowa family of the White Star Tower, the Jin family of the Hengjin Tower, and the Feng family of the Harmonic Tower came one after another, walked in front of Yun Fuyu, and kissed his hand.
Next, the branch families arrived at the Vatican one after another.
Lancelot and Cui Jue arrived at the Holy See together and ran all the way towards Yun Fuyu.
When I saw the person under the tree, my eyes instantly became red.
Yun Fuyu recognized Lancelot at a glance.
But Yun Fuyu didn't dare to recognize the person next to him for a while.
He has a slightly dark complexion and a crew cut, and even in a suit he exudes a hint of ferocity, but what is more obvious on his face is calmness.
It's just this kind of calmness, which is very different from the past.
He stared at Yun Fuyu blankly.
It only took a moment for tears to appear from nothing, and they flowed out in a rush. The calmness in his expression disappeared, and his mouth became puffy.
......Now Yun Fuyu confirmed that this was Cui Jue.
Cui Jue's eyes were filled with tears.
He felt so ashamed, but he couldn't stop crying.
Fortunately, the other family heads had already gone to the meeting place, and no one except Lancelot saw him crying so miserably.
And Lancelot was also crying, so no one would tell others.
When Yun Fuyu hugged them both, Cui Jue thought again, just say it, even if the photo of him crying like a fool is posted on the Star Network, he will still hug Yun Fuyu and cry now.
Finally, Yun Fuyu simply sat on the grass in front of the World Tree.
Two giant wolf spirits with different fur colors buried their heads in his arms and cried with their mouths sobbing.
Cui Jue cried and said, "I said you were definitely not dead. Lancelot cried secretly without telling us all day long, and I found out several times..."
Lancelot stopped crying and punched Cui Jue.
Lancelot's eyes were red and he held Yun Fuyu's hand.
"Ye Congjian has done very well over the years. You have a good eye for selecting subordinates. The foundation you established earlier has been preserved, as has your room in the clubhouse... After we finish things here, let's go back and take a look."
*
The meeting was held in the Vatican's meeting hall.
The meeting hall retains its original appearance when the seven towers were first built.
Yun Fuyu walked slowly up the white stone steps. When he reached the top, he lowered his eyes to look at Adrian, Xie Huaiyan, Chao Zhao and Chao Hui who were sitting in their familiar seats.
Everyone looked at the Holy Son and stood up to salute.
In a trance, time spanned thousands of years.
Yun Fuyu was a little distracted for a moment.
When he thought back to the past, he always felt that his memory was covered with a layer of fog, which not only obscured the faces of the stories of old friends, but also blocked the sadness of the past.
Until this moment, Yun Fuyu was in a familiar position and saw a familiar face. The soreness and weakness that had been covering her up slowly eroded the thin mist and penetrated into the real thing.
The stories of old friends are still vivid in my mind.
Those who are lively, high-spirited, proud, shy, human, spiritual... friends, lovers...
So many smiling faces, so close that you can touch them just by reaching out your hand.
The whole place was silent. The Son of God suddenly turned around and withdrew his fingertips empty.
In this quiet moment, loneliness suddenly became like a small stone thrown into the water, causing ripples.
A thousand years have already passed.
Old friends from the time when the Seven Towers were built...are they still vivid in your memory?
The Son sat down at the highest point, and everyone else followed suit.
Yun Fuyu thinks of himself as Yun Fuyu.
But what Yun Fuyu saw was them as they are now, or as they were in their previous lives?
......
Fortunately, the meeting was about to begin, which temporarily stopped Yun Fuyu's thoughts.
The bishop and ten priests sat down on a lower step in front of the Son.
The bishop said graciously, "I have summoned you all to the Holy See on a temporary basis. Thank you for your attendance."
"As everyone knows before the meeting, one of the main culprits in the disappearance of the Holy Son, Ulis, the former leader of the resistance, has been captured and imprisoned within the Vatican."
"The resistance army has made outstanding contributions in the pursuit of the criminals. Therefore, today the Holy Son has summoned you all to discuss the future of the Seven Towers and the resistance army."
Logically speaking, this matter should be the responsibility of the Seven Towers Council.
But after all, the parliamentarians are also conveying the intentions of those in power. Instead of going through the troublesome process, it is better to call them all to the Vatican and have an open and frank discussion behind closed doors.
Jin Xuan looked serious. He glanced at Yun Fuyu and then looked at the rebels.
"I don't support keeping the resistance."
“Twenty years ago, Aesera was one of the most chaotic planets in the Hengjin Tower and a typical low-value planet.
It was me who led the people to crack down on the star pirates, so that law and order could be maintained on the planet Aesera.
Now, the rebels have illegally occupied Ethira and incited the public to launch a terrorist attack on government buildings, causing S City to suffer various economic losses, including the suspension of work and operations. The damage caused is innumerable."
"The rebels will only plunge the Seven Towers into chaos. They must not be allowed to stay."
Jin Xuan finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and his tone softened slightly.
The Son of God’s affinity is indeed very strong.
In a sense, she felt uncomfortable speaking harshly to the Son of God, so she said these things while looking in the direction of the rebels.
"You are the Son of God. Not only the planet of Aesera, but the entire Eternal Tower will follow you unconditionally. However, I have a responsibility to the residents of the Eternal Tower and cannot cede the territory under my jurisdiction to terrorists.
I hope you can understand this.”
The word "terrorist" is a complete slander.
The S City incident on the planet Aesera was not organized by the rebels, but was carried out spontaneously by the people, but was blamed on the rebels.
Yun Fuyu paid special attention to the rebel side.
I thought that kids like Zhou Huai would be unable to resist arguing, but unexpectedly, they behaved quite seriously and with great dignity in formal occasions.
Lin Chaosheng and his companions were even calmer, without even a frown moving.
So Yun Fuyu lowered his eyes and looked at Jin Xuan with a slightly cold tone.
"I understand. But we still have a lot to discuss regarding how to handle the public movement in S City on the planet Azera."
In order to encircle and suppress the rebels, the Hengjin Tower directly blocked several blocks in the city and abandoned the residents.
Yun Fuyu witnessed this incident with his own eyes, and Hengjin Tower had no way to refute it.
The Hengjin Tower could have resolved the demonstration peacefully, but instead fanned the flames, escalating the situation and deliberately labeling the rebels as a terrorist organization.
Jin Xuan is very resourceful.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
It is because of her thunderous tactics that she can maintain a large-scale peace in the Hengjin Tower, but correspondingly, she does not care about the life or death of any specific civilian.
In Jin Xuan's eyes, exchanging a block for the safety of the entire Hengjin Tower is a perfect deal.
Jin Xuan replied, "Sir Saint, if you had not appeared at that time, then the psychics who would have needed to fight in the blockade area would have been the nobles of the Hengjin Tower."
"The rebels claim to have abolished the aristocracy, and now we're asking aristocratic warriors to rescue the rioters who support the rebels. What will the warriors think?"
"No one is willing to risk their lives to save those who want to overthrow them. Hengjin Tower must severely punish the rebels and make an example of them, otherwise the warriors will become disheartened."
The bishop raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.
“After the pollution outbreak, priests from the Holy See wanted to enter the blocked blocks of S City to purify the pollution, but were blocked by the Hengjin Tower.
I just want to say that cleaning up pollution is a common cause for mankind.
Regardless of the outcome of today's discussions, the Holy See hopes that similar incidents will not occur again."
The bishop's words were subtle, but the meaning of the warning was clear.
Jin Xuan did not answer, but suddenly looked at Adrien.
"I've always wanted to know how these three military academy graduates managed to leave Central Star, find a rebel stronghold untraceable by the military, and even manage to bypass the blockade and join the rebels?"
Adrian looked indifferent and spoke bluntly:
"It was my oversight."
They let Yun Fuyu's teammates go, but the specific path was created by Yun Fuyu's teammates themselves.
The atmosphere became eerily quiet.
Lancelot remained calm, and Cui Jue put on a stern face and made an expression that said, "It's not a big deal."
Jin Xuan raised his eyebrows and bowed to the Holy Son.
"You see. Regarding the rebels, Yuangu Tower, Yunya Tower, Yongyao Tower, and Zhuri Tower have always been on the sidelines, while Xieming Tower and Baixing Tower are too far away to intervene.
For seven years, Hengjin Tower has been fighting alone."
"Esera is my hard work. If I hadn't been forced to do so, I wouldn't want to give up S City.
But the rebels have repeatedly disrupted the borders of Hengjin Tower. If I don't seize this opportunity to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, how can I ensure the safety of other areas of Hengjin Tower in the future?"
Yun Fuyu pinched her eyebrows.
The Levoys sat on the other side of the court.
Ye Lina took over the conversation:
“Ordinary people can maintain a peaceful life precisely because there are psychics charging forward in the contaminated areas.
The awards given to psychics should be commensurate with their contributions.
Therefore, when the Seven Towers were built, the original leaders decided to differentiate between the status of the residents as an incentive.”
Want to become a noble?
Then delve into the pollution, take risks, and make great achievements.
In this way, not only can you get generous treatment, but your descendants will also be protected.
Xing Zhaochong commented: "If we keep the rebels, the nobles will inevitably feel that we are being abandoned, and it will also chill the hearts of the soldiers."
The meeting room was silent.
Xing Zhaochong changed the subject.
"But form is dead, people are alive. What everyone here wants is nothing more than to resolve the conflict between the resistance and the Seven Towers.
If the rebels agree to surrender, all conditions can be negotiated.
The Harmonic Tower is willing to exchange certain benefits with the Eternal Tower to ensure that you continue to hold the power to govern the planet Aesera."
The Jin family is responsible for playing the good guy, and the Xing family is responsible for playing the bad guy.
A special management area was set up, and Lin Chaosheng and others were given official positions of moderate importance.
It can be considered as a step back for both sides to give this farce a way out.
After Yun Fuyu understood their attitude, he glanced at the other people.
"What are other people's opinions?"
Zhaohui had been silent all this time, but now he stood up for the first time and solemnly promised:
"The Chao family supports all your decisions."
Chao Zhao standing by obviously had no objection either.
Adrian: "Yuan Gu Pagoda and Yun Ya Pagoda follow the Holy Son unconditionally."
Three votes in favor, two votes against.
Only Yongyao Tower has not yet expressed its position.
Xie Huaiyan's body was covered with a layer of ice. His posture remained unchanged, but his expression became more and more indifferent.
Through the glasses, those black eyes were like a bottomless cold pool.
"I have a question. Is it the rebels' proposal to designate Aesera as a special administrative zone?"
Of course...not.
Lin Chaosheng looked straight ahead and spoke in a calm and composed tone.
"The resistance's demands have never changed. We seek to establish an independent federation, not to be dependent on the Seven Towers."
