Chapter 79: Scheming and Setting the Stage

The next day.

Under Francis's enthusiastic send‑off and the gaze of the believers, Yu Lin boarded the return flight.

Of course, compared to when he arrived.

There was one more person on the plane—

An Yu, who was massaging Yu Lin.

Yesterday's banquet was truly lively; a crowd brought their most outstanding and beautiful daughters, hoping to gamble on luck and see if they could be noticed like An Yu.

Some even brought men; casual conversation would be fine, but what's with the covert glances at Yu Lin?

They hurriedly finished eating and left.

Such a bustling, socially intricate banquet was truly overwhelming for Yu Lin, who is essentially lazy by nature.

Otherwise, his previous General's Award Ceremony and celebration banquet would have been grandly organized, the more attendees the better!

Of course, later An Yu demonstrated her ability, healing all believers who were kind-hearted but suffered from cancer or any other serious illness.

Not kind-hearted?

Then they can only wait for death; An Yu can't heal them.

Afterward, erasing their memories works; a single "Divine Grace" can shut all the believers' mouths.

When the plane landed, it was already evening.

Deng Lien and several escorts stood at the airport exit, waving at Yu Lin as he boarded the car:

"Take your time! Contact us anytime if you need anything!"

"Alright, thank you."

Yu Lin gave them a slight smile, then returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau with An Yu.

An Yu's status need not be worried about; the Director of Civil Affairs Bureau had already obtained all the information from Francis, arranged everything, and she could simply move in next door to Yu Lin's dorm with her bag.

If Yu Lin wanted, moving them into a double room wouldn't be impossible.

Just after returning to the dorm, Dragon Lord couldn't wait, flew out and opened the Computer:

"Log in; today Dragon Lord will lead you to block the bridge!"

It was An Yu's first time seeing Dragon Lord, and surprise flashed in her eyes.

Yu Lin sat down:

"Don't be surprised; you know the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, right? Dragon Lord is a revered one."

"From now on, just call it Dragon Lord."

"So that's it," An Yu nodded in acknowledgment.

Although she follows Christianity, she is also from Da Xia, so she naturally knows about the Nine Tripod Cauldrons.

She had always thought it was a legend, after all no one had discovered where the Nine Tripod Cauldrons actually are.

She didn't expect it to appear beside Yu Lin… The Saint truly lives up to the name; anything can appear around them!

An Yu thought, walked aside, took out Yu Lin's change of clothes, and began to hand‑wash them.

What if the washing machine breaks them? That's what an attendant should do!

Yu Lin was about to scroll short videos when a shadow spread beside him, followed by Su Qu's figure:

"Went to the Vatican and had a great time, huh? And brought back a beauty."

"Tsk tsk tsk, a nun."

"Now you really don't need to cosplay any more."

Yu Lin sat up helplessly and said, "We're pure; stop fantasizing, okay? We're not that kind of people."

"Brother Su, what do you need from me?"

"Nothing," Su Qu sat beside him, took out his phone, and opened an email to show him:

"Earlier Chen Haoxi should have told you that we're hunting a mole inside the bureau, right?"

Yu Lin nodded, "Hmm, are we about to act?"

"Yes, in a month, at Shennongjia."

"Shennongjia?"

"Shennongjia houses a Heaven-level Bestowed Instrument—the Shennong Whip. It's genuine, a true Heaven-level Bestowed Instrument."

Su Qu's lips curled slightly, revealing a mischievous grin:

"We've been preparing for years for this day; if my master weren't from the Grand Void Gate, I'd have been kept in the dark."

"Like them, they think this time is just a simple contest for possession."

Yu Lin raised an eyebrow, curious:

"We don't take the Heavenly Bestowed Artifact ourselves, yet we let others in to take it; wouldn't they think it's a trap? Is there really a pie falling from the sky?"

"Of course it's more than that," Su Qu shook his head.

"We made an exchange with various parties; this time we let them come, and when they later obtain Heavenly Bestowed Artifacts, we can also join the contest."

"Not only will we expose the mole, but we'll also gain many opportunities—a win‑win."

"If they snatch the home‑field advantage, we'll just collectively commit suicide as atonement!"

Hearing his confidence, Yu Lin nodded in understanding and asked:

"Then what should I do? You wouldn't call on me for no reason, would you?"

"Of course, you're still as clever as ever," Su Qu nodded, "but…"

"Actually you have nothing to do except issue a statement."

"Just forbid all Christianity members from joining this contest."

"Simple, right?"

Yu Lin understood as soon as he heard.

He returned after issuing his statement; never mind whether he's an insider, the moment he violated his statement, he had already been expelled from Christianity.

We didn't let you come, and you still came—doesn't that count as sincere opposition?

Those who oppose the Saint are the insiders! Their minds have already been corrupted by the Demon!

It seems the Director of Civil Affairs Bureau has already discussed it with Francis.

Simple.

Yu Lin nodded, "Alright."

"Do you want me to shoot a video?"

Su Qu turned on the recording, "Right."

"Come, let's start."

After simply recording a video of a dozen seconds, Su Qu stood up:

"Then I won't disturb your rest; enjoy the two-person world... uh, sorry, I mean the two-person, one-dragon world."

"Lord Dragon, next time you play a game, invite me, ha; my skill isn't lacking either!"

Lord Dragon didn't even lift his head, waved his claw:

"Alright, alright, go ahead, go ahead."

"Okay." Su Qu vanished into the shadows.

He arrived suddenly and left just as quickly.

Yu Lin only thought: Now the Civil Affairs Bureau, or rather the forces within Da Xia, will have to be washed again.

Right, there's also the Divine Authority Association.

Yu Lin recalled that the Divine Authority Association, which forced him to choose death or be controlled as soon as he arrived, gave him a cold stare, picked up his phone, and called Francis:

"Do me a favor, I need information on the Divine Authority Association."

"Of course, if you can bring their chairman over to me, that would be ideal."

"Thank you."
