Chapter 92 Ye Huan's Future

  Next, the Pope's behavior left Ye Huan bewildered.

  He said just three sentences, which didn't require Ye Huan's response:

  Yehuan, I heard that during your imprisonment, you came into contact with many military leaders. This is good, but it's also not so good... That's all I'll say about this; the rest is for Yehuan to ponder himself.

  Yehuan, you come from the Heavenly Father's teachings, your ancestors for three generations have shed blood on the battlefield for the Heavenly Father. Now, your foster father is also a veteran principal of several decades. In the words of your Huaxia people, you can be said to be deeply rooted and orthodox!

  Nothing's wrong anymore, go find Oda Genjuro!

  ……

  When he walked out of the Heavenly Father's Temple, Ye Huan felt like a fool. He counted it and found that the Pope had only said six sentences to him, and the first three sentences could be understood as a test, but what did the last three sentences mean?

  With great fanfare, the grand doors of the Heavenly Father's Temple were opened, and in the symbol of the highest authority of the Heavenly Father's teachings, the Golden Apex, a student was received. Ye Huan did not believe that these three sentences did not have any special meaning, but he always could not understand what the Pope wanted to express.

  Moreover, Ye Huan performed hypnosis in front of the Pope, but this blonde Rhein seemed to have forgotten and didn't even ask a single question about such an extraordinary power!

  "What's wrong?"

  Oda Genjuro and others at the door, took a look at Ye Huan's face and knew what had happened inside, smiled and said: "Now do you want to say four words? Jun Xin Nan Ce!"

  Ye Huan could only smile bitterly.

  He fell silent for a moment, then let out a sigh and said: "It's not just that your heart is hard to fathom, it's simply immeasurable. As soon as we meet, six sentences in, even the gods probably can't understand what's going on in this teacher's mind!"

  "Teacher!?" Oda Gen's expression stiffened, "Ye Huan, this is the Salvation Golden Summit, and it's absolutely forbidden to address people randomly. There are several fanatical believers who have been blessed by His Holiness the Pope, but not every fanatic can call him 'teacher'!"

  "I understand the rules, but... it's Your Majesty who told me to address you like this!"

  "Your Majesty allows you to call him teacher?" Oda Gen's heart skipped a beat.

  Moreover, Ye Huan didn't notice that: as the two walked and talked, Takeda Genji's status was much higher than Ye Huan's, so he naturally took the lead in front of Ye Huan. However, upon hearing the word "teacher", he unconsciously slowed down, deliberately lagging behind Ye Huan by half a step.

  Don't think this little action is boring!

  This is the Golden Summit of Salvation, where every word and action must conform to each person's status and position. So when Toyotomi deliberately slowed down by half a step, it was equivalent to acknowledging that Ye Huan's status was half a step higher than his!

  Who is higher in status than the Cardinal in red?

  "Oda Hongyi, isn't that what you're called?" Ye Huan asked in confusion, not understanding the rules.

  "Haha, nothing much. The Pope is willing to be your teacher, that's a great thing, a wonderful thing! " Oda Gen thought back to the Pope's proposal a few days ago and began to choose his words carefully, "Mr. Ye Huan, what else did His Majesty say to you?"

  Oda Gen is the Pope's confidant, there's nothing to hide, and Ye Huan directly said: "The first sentence, the teacher was testing my reaction to his hair, but Oda Hongyi rest assured, I understand, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, the teacher's hair color has never been strange!"

  "The second sentence, the teacher was testing my loyalty, which is also not to be said, I am the teacher's student, a grasshopper on the same string, and will definitely not do anything that would betray the teacher!" Ye Huan furrowed her brow, "The third sentence is about becoming an apprentice, but what follows... The fourth sentence, he asked me about my relationship with the military leaders, and said it was good, yet also not good!"

  Heavenly Father!

  Oda Gen's heart has already stirred up a huge wave, a ruler, asking his students and army about their relationship, of course, there are only two meanings - this is good, saying that Ye Huan and the general have a harmonious relationship, in the future when the time comes... they can also get support from the military.

  But that's not good, it means Ye Huan and the generals are getting too close, offending those in power. In short, I haven't retired yet, what's the hurry to win over my generals? Want to take my place ahead of time?!

  Again thinking of that one phrase 'teacher and student', Okita Souji's mind was resolute!

  The Pope wasn't joking a few days ago, he really had this in mind...

  "Mr. Ye, what else did His Majesty say?" Oda Gen swiftly adjusted his expression, revealing nothing to Ye Huan.

  "The teacher also said, my ancestors died in battle for the church, and I'm from a good family background..."

  The roots are red and the seedlings are upright, so when the time comes, those old guys in the Council of Elders who insist on rules, emphasize birth and orthodoxy will not become obstacles for Ye Huan!

  Following this train of thought, Oda Gen has already understood that the Pope's last words must have been to let Ye Huan come and find himself, and for him to give Ye Huan some things to help him pave the way... to a bright future!

  "The last sentence is for you to come and find me!" Oda Gen's smile had already added a bit of humility, even a hint of flattery. "Although I am a Japanese person, you are a Chinese person, our two nations have been enemies for thousands of years, but after the Great Disaster, we Japanese people have become a third-rate race, and in the end, it was thanks to the kindness of your Chinese people that we were able to survive until today. Haha, speaking of which, you and I are like cousins from different nationalities, Your Holiness is making our brotherly nations even closer!"

  With a thud, the Wind Wing grew several centimeters longer again.

  Obviously, Oda Gen is lowering his posture and pulling in relations with Ye Huan. This is certainly a small honor, but does the dignified Red Robe Archbishop need to speak like this with an ordinary student of his own?

  Ye Huan rubbed her forehead, "That's right, teacher asked me to come find you, Oda Hongyi, why did you just come out?"

  "Heh heh, although it's said that the mind of a king is hard to fathom, I've followed the Pope for over a decade and can still understand some things... Besides, you and I are both children of God, so there's no need to use honorifics when speaking.

  Motonari Odawara glossed over this topic and continued: 'His Majesty had you come find me, presumably about two matters. Firstly, arranging for your continued participation in the martial arts tournament - this has already been prepared for you, and you can enter the fray tomorrow, representing either Tōrin or disguising yourself as a warrior of Canaan; I can help cover for you either way. However, what ranking you ultimately achieve will depend on your own abilities.'"

  "Secondly..." Oda Gen hesitated for a moment, "You should be graduating soon too, have you thought about your future? What do you want to pursue in the future?"

  That's exactly what Ye Huan was thinking.

  In recent days, military leaders have been taking turns to find Ye Huan to get close to him, in order to pull him into their army, but Ye Huan has not agreed.

  But as the night wore on, Ye Huan also began to seriously consider how he wanted to develop the Salvation Sect. In order to do that, he had to reach a relatively high position within the Heavenly Father's Church. But which direction should he take? The military, the civil service system, or the legal system?

  "What's good about Oda Hongyi?" Ye Huan asked.

  "Haha, you're Ye Huan, the Emperor's student, what qualifications do I have to arrange your future?" Oda Genjin smiled and said: "However, I do have a suggestion, if you want to be an official on He Lie Mountain, then directly enter one of the three major institutions, Shen Wei Prison, Shen En Hai, or the Knights Training Department. Otherwise, going anywhere else will ultimately lead to being bullied!"

  Ye Huan nodded, this period of imprisonment had made him realize that being an ordinary official was not easy, with superiors pressing down on him from above and the religious tribunal's constant surveillance from below. "So which of these three institutions should I join?"

  "Oda Genzo didn't think, 'Shinonome'!"

  Shen En Hai, taking the meaning of Shen En as the sea, crossing over to the world, is the department in charge of missionary work and diplomacy. It's roughly a combination of the CIA, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Propaganda Department before the great disaster. Ye Huan Xin thought that Oda Gen suggested she join this place, probably because he valued her炎黄人 (Chinese) bloodline, thinking that when dealing with the strongest炎黄人 on the mainland, she would have some natural affinity.

  He expressed his thoughts, and Oda Genya didn't deny them, but just smiled: "If you don't refuse, I'll arrange it for you. After the martial arts tournament ends, you can directly serve in Shen Enhai!"

  "Thank you, Odoroki!"

  After thanking him, Ye Huan hastily went to prepare for the Martial Arts Conference. However, behind his back, Okita Genjiusen inexplicably smiled wryly.

  There were several attendants around him, one of whom asked in puzzlement: "Sir, Ye Huan's strength is extraordinary. Wouldn't it be better to enter the Knight Training Department or the Divine Prison? The battles there are constant and the training level is high. Only by going there can Ye Huan's abilities be brought into play!"

  "What do you know?"

  Oda Gen thought to himself, "The Divine Prison and the Knight Training Grounds are good, but those are places for preparing thugs. But Ha Kaito... in the Pope's mind, Ha Kaito's position is not just a simple vanguard thug!"

  Knight training camp, the future leader has been determined by Caesar, Ye Huan is gone and will never be able to rise again!

  Shen Wei Prison, Mrs. Elizabeth would have lived for at least another hundred or two years, and Ye Huan couldn't wait for her retirement day.

  Only with the blessing of God, Ye Huan can climb to the top position at the fastest speed, and then take a further step, enter that tearful room, wear that infinite crown, and walk out under the protection of holy smoke, open his arms...

  Heaving a sigh, Oda Gen didn't dare think about it anymore!

  Ye Huan's future has already made him feel a heavy pressure!
