Chapter 202: Prince Squire Successfully Cures Fu Yixue

Vlad narrowed his eyes dangerously, a look of disdain flashing across them before he suddenly smiled.

"So it's Secretary-General Zhou, what a rare visit."

Zhou Qianfeng smiled ingratiatingly, "It has been a long time since I last saw Duke Vlad. I apologize for the sudden visit, please do not take offense."

Duke Vlad replied, "Not at all, we welcome you with open arms. May I ask what brings Secretary-General Zhou here today?"

Zhou Qianfeng glanced at Shen Que, "What a coincidence, Prince Squire is here as well.

I have come specifically to seek out Prince Squire. I wonder if the Prince could spare some time to visit our Secretariat?"

Duke Vlad smiled, "Is there anything Noah can assist with?"

Zhou Qianfeng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, indeed. As you may have seen, news of Master Fu’s heroic sacrifice has spread.

We have just brought back Master Fu’s remains, but... the state in which she passed is truly gruesome, let me show you."

Zhou Qianfeng pulled out a photo that even Fu Yixue’s own mother would struggle to recognize and thrust it in front of Duke Vlad, the sight so ghastly that even the Duke recoiled slightly.

The head was separated from the body, with bits of pig liver, heart, and lungs scattered around for added horror.

Zhou Qianfeng sighed sorrowfully, "Master Fu gave her life for her country, and the Alliance plans to hold a grand procession for her throughout the entire league in seven days.

However, this condition will surely distress the public and sadden the hearts of her descendants.

That is why I have come to seek out Prince Squire, hoping that His Highness might use his holy Angelic blood to restore Master Fu to her former appearance."

So that the world can rest assured in sending her off.”

Duke Vlad, “Shouldn’t the Daoist Sect be responsible for arranging Master Fu’s affairs in the afterlife?”

Zhou Qianfeng smiled, “In principle, yes. However, due to the recent Soul Summoning Talisman incident, Master Fu has been highly esteemed by the citizens of the Alliance.

Her sudden death in battle has left the citizens deeply saddened and agitated.

They demand strict action against evil forces and insist that the Alliance properly handle Master Fu’s funeral arrangements.

The matter has fallen on the Secretariat, and I’ve been thrust into this role, with no choice but to take it on.”

Duke Vlad looked back, “Are these words also the sentiments of the members of the Alliance Parliament?”

Zhou Qianfeng shrugged, “I wouldn’t dare lie to Your Grace.”

Duke Vlad opened his communicator, clearly having already received a message from the Alliance Parliament, requesting the Royal Court’s cooperation with the Secretariat.

Duke Vlad nodded, “Noah, you should go with Secretary-General Zhou then.”

Shen Que followed Zhou Qianfeng from the Royal Court through the central avenue of World City to the Secretariat. He instinctively glanced around, contemplating ways to escape.

Zhou Qianfeng suddenly spoke, “Don’t even think about running. The person you want to see is right here at the Secretariat.”

Shen Que turned his head, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

As they fully entered the Secretariat’s premises, Zhou Qianfeng turned to look at him.

“Prince Squire, from now on, everything you see must be kept strictly confidential.”

Zhou Qianfeng's evasive attitude made Shen Que increasingly puzzled.

It wasn’t Shen Que’s first run-in with Zhou Qianfeng, but now, he showed none of his usual respect and eagerness.

In fact, faintly, was that... disdain he sensed from Zhou Qianfeng??

The further they ventured into the Secretariat, the heavier the silence grew.

Shen Que’s muscles tightened on instinct, thoughts churning.

One question burned in his mind—

Wu Yue had confronted Lilia Ross and was clearly taken away by the Secretariat and the White Guard, so how’d she end up unscathed in the shadowed backstreets?

And since then, no matter how many times he reached out to Wu Xiuli, he received no response.

Wu Xiuli was clearly avoiding him. What was she running from?

Or rather, what could be so bad that even Wu Xiuli wouldn’t touch it?

Shen Que was deep in thought when fragments of whispers drifted to him—

"You should rest for a while."

"Your wounds can't go untreated."

"Your psyche will collapse."

"Master Fu, I'm okay."

The voices grew clearer, and Shen Que listened intently, he stared, eyes widening in surprise as he turned to Zhou Qianfeng.

Zhou Qianfeng shot him a look of disdain. "So skittish. What, never seen a crisis?"

Shen Que, "..." Well, now he was certain—Zhou Qianfeng definitely despised him.

Zhou Qianfeng lowered his voice. "Don’t blow our cover, *Prince Squire*."

Shen Que blinked and nodded.

Zhou Qianfeng pushed open the door. Wu Yue and Fu Yixue turned simultaneously, and when Wu Yue saw Prince Squire, her eyes flashed with surprise.

The moment Zhou Qianfeng spotted Wu Yue, his face melted into a smile.

"Wu Yue, step outside for now. Let Prince Squire treat Master Fu."

Wu Yue nodded. "Understood."

As she passed Squire, she bowed slightly. "Your Highness’s service is appreciated."

Shen Que watched, every move cataloged, until Wu Yue left and the door closed completely.

Fu Yixue spoke first, "What’s *he* doing here?"

Zhou Qianfeng replied, "After receiving Lu Li's real-time updates, I hauled ass to the Academy. It's confirmed—anything touched by the Holy Angel has a healing effect against corruptive energy."

"So I thought—blood graced by the Holy Angel would surely fully heal your wounds."

Fu Yixue’s pride glowed. "Our Yue Yue’s a miracle."

Zhou Qianfeng nodded in agreement, "Exactly, she actually discovered the method to counter the evil forces right away. This gives us the upper hand in battle from the start!"

Fu Yixue chimed in, "Wait, there's more—Yue Yue just told me before she left that while checking the Memory Array, she found something else. The Memory Array constructed from Starfall Ore can actually sense the presence of evil forces! Combining the blessings of the Holy Angel with the Starfall Ore Memory Array, we can definitely eradicate these evil forces completely!"

Zhou Qianfeng grew excited as well, "As expected of Yue Yue, to notice such a crucial detail!"

Fu Yixue pressed her hands to her heart in admiration, "Yue Yue is truly brilliant."

The two superfans had found their perfect match, turning it into a full-on praise fest.

Shen Que, "..." While their praise of Wu Yue made him happy too, thrilled, and excited. But at the very least, he—a living, breathing person—was standing right here. Could they at least look his way?

Shen Que cleared his throat, "Maybe... we should do the treatment now?"

Without hesitation, Shen Que drew his blade and slit his wrist, letting his blood pour out.

Seeing the dense, crisscrossing scars on his wrist—some fresh and still healing—Fu Yixue and Zhou Qianfeng's expressions froze simultaneously.

A stream of silvery glowing blood gushed out, and Fu Yixue's wound healed instantly.

Only when the injury had fully healed did Fu Yixue and Zhou Qianfeng move at the same time, slapping an SS-grade healing gem onto Shen Que's wound.

Shen Que looked up in surprise, his eyes wide with confusion.

Fu Yixue and Zhou Qianfeng couldn't help but inwardly curse:

They were no angels themselves,

but

these damn 'celestial nobles' of the Royal Court—

were complete and utter bastards!
