Chapter 76: Maxing Out Emotional Value

The next day.

Yu Lin wasn't lying in his dormitory, because Ning Ya sent him a message:

【I've arrived in Kyoto, come out quickly, sis will take you to eat something delicious!】

Thinking there was nothing much to do anyway, it would be fine to go out for a stroll.

So, now, at the Civil Affairs Bureau entrance.

Ning Ya leaned against the big tree in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, sunglasses on her face, wearing a simple light‑green shirt and shorts, her two long legs glowing white under the sun.

In front of her stood Su Qu, who seemed to be talking to her about something.

Only when Yu Lin arrived did she wave at him, "Here, here!"

Su Qu saw they had already made an appointment, shrugged and said, "Alright, looks like you already have a date, so I won't disturb you."

"Bye......."

"Hey, Brother Su, wait…"

Yu Lin grabbed him, slipped a Wooden Dummy into his hand, and laughed:

"A gift for you."

"Yo he!" Su Qu looked at the Wood Carving in his hand that resembled him a lot, his face full of surprise:

"The carving's pretty good, it's about eighty percent as handsome as me! Did you carve it?"

"Not bad, not bad, I really like it."

Yu Lin shook his head, "No, I had someone else carve it."

"As long as you like it."

"Alright." Su Qu stored the Wood Carving into his own storage space and smiled:

"Eat well, have fun; if anything comes up, just call… uh, with my master by your side, it's unlikely anything serious will happen."

"I'm leaving."

As the words fell, the shadow beneath his feet swallowed him, disappearing to who knows where.

From his words one could tell that Ling Dongxuan is his master?

No wonder Ling Dongxuan was so friendly to Yu Lin from the start; emotionally, he treated him as a fellow traveler.

Yu Lin didn't keep thinking, but turned his head toward Ning Ya:

"Then where are we going?"

Ning Ya pulled his arm toward the Precious Horse Carriage parked not far away and walked:

"Ah, just come with me, you only need to be in charge of playing and eating today!"

A few days later.

After handing over the Wood Carvings of Qin Zhao and the others to them, Yu Lin and Long Ye boarded the plane bound for the Vatican.

The Vatican had already dispatched two Red Cloaked Cardinals and two Knight Commanders yesterday to protect Yu Lin, each possessing Tai Xu-level combat power.

But they do not cultivate the Qi system; instead they follow their holy offices, and all their power originates from Heaven.

Those who practice Qi call it "Qi", whereas they cultivate "Holy Power".

According to the Red Cloaked Cardinal's explanation, if Tai Xu wishes to ascend to Heaven, they can already achieve the Archangel rank in Heaven; placed in Da Xia, they might have become an Immortal?

After all, a Tai Xu Existence's every move and word, calling them an Immortal isn't a problem.

Xu Fu's wish has now essentially been fulfilled.

"Saint."

"Would you like something to drink?"

A man about forty years old, looking very friendly, pushed a cart loaded with assorted drinks and gave Yu Lin a friendly smile.

If someone who knows him were to find out.

They would exclaim, "Red Cloaked Cardinal Deng Lien! How are you selling drinks here?!"

Deng Lien would say, "If you knew a Saint was here, you'd be more diligent than I am."

Yu Lin glanced, then casually picked up a bottle of cola:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, call me anytime you need anything." Deng Lien pushed the cart away.

Passing the rear seats, when he saw the dragon playing a video game, although he had already heard about it, he still felt a slight surprise.

Yu Lin, however, kept his gaze on the outside window.

The journey was quite long.

Yu Lin closed his eyes and took a nap.

When they finally arrived at the Vatican.

It was noon at the Vatican.

Looking down from the plane, it was already a sea of people.

Although many do not practice cultivation and thus cannot know why the Saint was Eastern, the Pope said so, and the Bishops and Knights all approved.

How could it be false? Just worship and it's done.

Those who impersonate a Saint will be punished by my lord!

Because the Vatican is small, the disembarkation point was a newly built airfield not far from the Vatican.

The moment the aircraft door opened, a roar surged like a tide.

Yu Lin stood at the top of the gangway, the midday sun gilding him with a golden rim.

He squinted slightly, the sight before him breathtaking—

Beyond the airport's outer fence, a massive crowd stretched beyond the eye's reach.

An elderly woman with white, ashen hair knelt on the ground, hands clasped, hot tears streaming down her wrinkled face; the young parents lifted their children high, the children waved homemade little crosses; believers dressed in traditional attire crawled on the ground, foreheads pressed against the earth.

The shouts of "Saint! Saint!" rose and fell, echoing through the air.

Yu Lin's mouth lifted in a smile, and he raised his hand for a gentle wave:

"Comrades, hello; comrades, thank you for your hard work."

"May the Lord bless you!"

His voice was not loud, yet it miraculously reached everyone's ears.

The crowd instantly boiled, the cheers nearly overturning the sky!

Deng Lien, together with three others, stepped forward quickly, respectfully leading the way:

"Saint, this way please."

The extended sedan's doors opened slowly, and the leather seats emitted a faint sandalwood scent.

Guard cars flanked the front and rear, and the emblem of the Vatican Holy See on the vehicle gleamed in the sunlight.

The Dragon Elder's voice sounded beside his ear:

"Now I've really given you, kid, a big setup; back then I could see that many people even at the ceremony Lao Yu conducted."

Yu Lin laughed:

"Given your status as Dragon Elder, if the state now claimed to have unearthed the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, would you believe you have been working from dawn to dusk, from the start of the year to its end, without rest?"

The Dragon Elder nodded: "I believe."

"Then that would be fine."

"Alright, what you said makes sense."

Having said that.

"Excuse me, could you help open the Skylight?" Yu Lin said to the driver.

The driver replied immediately: "Yes."

As the Skylight "swished" open, Yu Lin stood up, revealing half his body.

As the convoy slowly drove down the street, he kept waving to both sides: "Hello, everyone!"

"May the Lord bless you!"

"The Lord be with you!"

The emotional value, in this regard, was maxed out.

People came from far away; they can't have come for nothing, right? It's not in vain!

Until they entered the square in front of the Holy See, the scene was even more shocking: believers lined up, the Knight Order lined up, nuns and priests lined up, all standing in perfect order.

When Yu Lin entered, they all shouted in unison:

"In the name of the Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, peace be with you, Saint Yu Lin!"

Yu Lin naturally could not be outdone; he directly gathered the Qi within his body and shouted:

"And also with you!"

This time, the cheers exploded.

Even as Yu Lin entered the Holy See's palace, the cheers still echoed over the Vatican.

Until Francis used the Horn to shout:

"Alright, alright, everyone be quiet; the Saint is now going to worship the Lord, don't disturb him."

Hearing him say that, the crowd calmed again, yet they still remained on the square.

When Yu Lin came out, they could see him once more.

Inside the palace.

Francis came to Yu Lin's front and saluted him:

"Francis has seen you, Saint Yu Lin."
