Above the stars

Bao Guoan was a little confused when he heard An Ning's answer.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether An Ning was seriously recommending or joking with him.

He personally thought it was a joke, but An Ning never joked, at least not with him.

Pope?

I want to do it myself.

And I thought about it for decades.

However, there is only one pope in the entire Flame Shrine, but there are thirteen red archbishops. They are fighting for the position of pope, and their brains are about to be beaten, let alone a newcomer?

Bao Guoan looked at An Ning suspiciously and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." An Ning nodded.

"You want to recommend him to be the pope?"

"Yes." An Ning nodded: "No one is more suitable for this position than him."

"."

Bao Guoan was so angry.

He didn't like An Ning's answer.

First, she was not joking, she really wanted to recommend her little brother to be the pope.

Secondly, she said, ‘No one is more suitable for this position than him.’ Doesn’t it mean that she is also not suitable?

silence.

Deathly silence.

After a long time, Bao Guoan suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at An Ning and said, "An Ning, you saved my life, and I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

"To tell you the truth, I completely treat you as my nephew. As long as I can help you, I will not let you down."

His eyes fell on Tang Bandit's young and beautiful face, and his dissatisfaction became even stronger.

"If you just ask me to help him find a job within the company, I don't think there is a problem. Within the scope of my responsibilities, I can arrange a pretty good job for him."

"But you asked me to recommend him to be the pope. If you're sure you're not kidding, then you think I'm a lunatic."

"You are well aware of the organizational structure and upgrade system within the church. Even if he is recruited now and promoted every three years under my care, he will wait until he becomes the pope. No, wait until he becomes the first district bishop. Twenty years later.”

"He is now the first district bishop." An Ning said.

"What?" Bao Guoan looked surprised, looked at Tang Bandit, then turned his attention to An Ning's face again, and said: "When did it happen? Which district did he become the bishop? Why didn't the headquarters receive the call? Any reports?”

"Lingyang Region. What happened three days ago." An Ning looked expressionless, as if this was the truth: "In recent days, a very serious plague has occurred in Lingyang Region. Our former bishop Lei Zong Nan is unfortunately infected.”

"Before he passed away, he promised that he would give up his position as bishop to whoever could help us solve the plague virus and allow our brothers and sisters to survive."

"Under the light of the God of Fire, Tang Bandit helped us solve the plague virus and save the lives of tens of thousands of people in our society. President Lei also fulfilled his promise and, under the witness of me and tens of thousands of society presidents, transferred the position of bishop to Granted to him."

"Nonsense." Bao Guoan angrily scolded: "Isn't this nonsense? Do you think this is children playing house? How noble is the position of the first district bishop? How can it be transferred so casually?"

"This needs to be reported to the headquarters, and the candidate will be finalized after evaluation and review by the Board of Elders. What qualifications does Lei Zongnan have to decide on the candidate for the first district bishop?"

"This has become an established fact, and everyone in society recognizes it." An Ning argued.

"This is impossible." Bao Guoan shook his head and said, "Without the vote of the presbytery and the blessing of the Pope, the regional bishop cannot do it accurately."

Bao Guoan glanced at Tang Bandit and said, "Even if you make a choice, you will have to appoint a new bishop when the time comes."

"Uncle Bao, can you help me think of a solution?" An Ning asked.

"What can I think of?" Bao Guoan shook his head and said: "The first district bishop has such an important position. Even if I want to take it down, other archbishops and the pope will not agree. This kind of thing needs to be weighed comprehensively. Yes. It’s not what I say.”

"So we need to change the pope and the archbishop and form our own presbytery." Tang Bandit suggested: "If I become the pope myself, will all the problems no longer be a problem?"

Bao Guoan looked at Tang Bandi speechlessly. Does this guy know what he is talking about?

In order to secure the position of bishop of the first district, you want to become the pope yourself?

In order to become the Pope, do you have to kill the Fire God first?

Is there any such truth in the world?

Seeing Bao Guoan's silence, Tang Bandit took the initiative and asked, "Does the Archbishop think my suggestion is feasible?"

Bao Guoan stood up, looked at An Ning with unkind eyes, and said, "If you are a guest at home, I welcome you. If you bring someone to come to me for fun, then I won't accompany you."

"Uncle, I'm not teasing you." An Ning looked at Bao Guoan seriously. It was obvious that everything they said was the truth. Why didn't he not want to believe it?

Isn’t the leader of the Flame Shrine amazing?

If it weren't for revenge on Xinxing, my brother would not be willing to sit in this miserable position.

"This is indeed what we have to do." Tang Bandit also said with a serious expression.

Bao Guoan stared at Tang Bandit with sharp eyes and asked, "Are you going to be the Pope?"

"Yes." Tang Bandit nodded.

"Why?" Bao Guoan asked.

This was the biggest question in his mind, and also the reason why he found it absurd.

A young guy who opens his mouth and shuts up will fuck the Pope

Are you worthy?

Tang Bandit looked around and asked, "Who is the most capable person beside the Archbishop?"

Bao Guoan stared at Tang Bandit warily and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

"I'll kill a few to cheer up the Archbishop."

"."

An Ning rolled her eyes at Tang Bandit, looked at Bao Guoan and said, "Uncle Bao, my brother has broken through the mountain gate and been promoted to junior master."

"Little Grandmaster?" Bao Guoan looked horrified.

He was able to become the red archbishop of the Flame Shrine, firstly because of his profound knowledge, secondly because of his superb martial arts skills, and for another trivial reason: his father was the previous red archbishop.

He is also a practitioner and understands what it means to advance to the master level.

This kid's hair has not even grown. Even if he started practicing from his mother's womb, he wouldn't be able to become a little grandmaster, right?

Tang Bandit didn't speak.

He picked up the teacup on the table and crushed it gently.

However, the water in the cup was just suspended in mid-air.

No splashing, no falling.

Still maintaining the same posture as when he was in the teacup.

Tang Bandit snapped his fingers, and the pool of tea turned into a small water dragon and flew towards him.

Tang Bandit opened his mouth and swallowed the water dragon.

After driving for a long time, I was really thirsty.

Bao Guoan's eyes were slightly stern.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

Only by mastering the yin and yang energy to the extreme can such delicate operations be achieved.

This is something he cannot do as a top grade Ruyi.

Even if you do, you can't be as perfect as him.

One step away, but a world away from heaven.

It's depressing to think about it.

What on earth did he go through?

"Are you really the little grandmaster?"

"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake," Tang Bandit said.

After pondering for a moment, Bao Guoan spoke up and said: "I now believe that you are already the bishop of the first district. With your cultivation strength, I am afraid that there will be no opponent in the entire Lingyang area. If you want to take the bishop from Lei Zongnan, Position, can he say no?"

"Archbishop, don't get me wrong. I am also helpless. Lei Zongnan wanted me to succeed him as bishop. He said that I would hand over the Lingyang region to you and die after saying that. I can't refuse even if I want to."

"Actually, you also know that we practitioners are not very interested in these worldly powers. My biggest ideal is to sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and count money until my hands cramp."

"In that case, why do you want to be the Pope again?"

"I thought, since I can't shirk it, I'll be the biggest one. Then no one can control me, right?"

"."

Tang Bandit smiled, looked at Bao Guoan and said, "Archbishop, am I qualified to play at the card table now?"

"Your personal strength is indeed strong, but the Flame Shrine is not without its own little master. With hundreds of years of religious construction experience, even I don't know what kind of terrifying existence is hidden in the shrine."

"If it's just you and a saint from a large area, it's still not enough."

"If we really start an uprising, I'm afraid even the bones and scum will be eaten by others. Why should I jump into the fire pit with you?"

"If I tell the Archbishop, I don't have just one little grandmaster, but several. Moreover, I also have thousands of mechanical troops armed to the teeth. Is this enough?"

"In that case, why do you still need the Flame Shrine? What can it bring you?"

"I need people, many, many people. What I want is not just the Flame Shrine, nor just the old land of Blue Star."

"What I want is a new star, what I want is a vast galaxy."

"Archbishop, believe me, the Flame Shrine is just our starting point, our journey is the stars and the sea."

Good at brainwashing or baptism.

Bao Guoan, who had been preaching the gospel to the parishioners all day long, felt his heart surge and his blood boiling at this moment.

What a good propaganda seedling, why do you want to be the Pope?

"What do I want to do?" Bao Guoan asked.

"You help me control the other archbishops. If possible, even the Pope must be controlled by us."

"What can I get?" Bao Guoan asked again.

"The second person from the Flame Shrine, and the opportunity to follow my battleship and set foot on the new star."

Bao Guoan hesitated, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"So that Uncle Bao will know." An Ning looked at Bao Guoan and said casually: "When I was giving Uncle Bao acupuncture to remove the poison, I found that someone had placed a life and death curse in Uncle Bao's body. Every thought of life and every thought of death."

Bao Guoan looked ferocious and shouted sternly: "An Ning."

"Uncle Bao, don't worry. I will definitely study hard in medical skills and try my best to help Uncle Bao break the life-and-death curse."

"."

——

We had a sumptuous dinner in the Archbishop's mansion and didn't come out until late at night.

Tang Bandit and An Ning looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the trip was worthwhile.

Of course, such a result was originally within their expectations.

The two walked side by side on the street, followed by a looming shadow.

"Brother, what are your plans next?" An Ning asked.

"If you stay in Sun City to do things, you don't have to come back to Lingyang with me." Tang Bandit said, "Since Bao Guoan has agreed to cooperate with us, let him do his best."

"Use Bao Guoan as a bridge and medicine talismans as a medium to control the thirteen red archbishops and the Pope as much as possible."

"Of course, the premise is that you must pay attention to your own safety. If you can, it will be fine. If not, there are other ways. Don't force it."

"Don't worry, brother. I will pay attention." An Xin knew that Tang Fei was worried about her safety, so she said, "I have a way to protect myself, brother, don't worry."

"Well, I will let Bai Wuxin bring a group of people to assist those people in your Flame Shrine. If they can be used, they will be used. If they can't be used, they will be killed."

"You two have your own strengths. Just do what you are good at."

"Yes." An Ning nodded.

She knew what she was good at and she also knew what Bai Wuxin was good at.

She witnessed Bai Wuxin's action with her own eyes. He almost killed all the black robes in the entire Lingyang District.

Tang Fei looked at An Ning's face covered with black veil and asked, "You knew I would come back a long time ago?"

An Ning shook her head and said softly, "I don't know. I even thought countless times that my brother would never come back. Xinxing is so good. It's hard to get on the list. Who would be willing to come back?"

"But then I thought, what if my brother wants to come back? What if my brother can't adapt to the local climate? What if my brother is bullied?"

"So, I thought about making some preparations in advance. Without anyone knowing."

"If you come back, that's great. If you don't come back, there will be no loss."

"With the life and death talisman you planted before, Bao Guoan dare not have other thoughts . "Tang Fei was grateful in his heart and said, "He is a very key figure. The success or failure of the matter depends on his cooperation, so we need this person's absolute loyalty."

"This is also the reason why I tore my face with him in person. I must tell him that I planted the life and death candy in his body. The big stick must be raised."

"Otherwise, after talking to us today, he turned around and sold us out. The God Palace has been alerted, and it will not be easy to find a puppet again."

"Yes." Tang Fei nodded and praised: "Our An Ning has grown up, thinking about things more and more comprehensively and thoughtfully, without any flaws."

"Brother." An Ning's eyes lit up and she said coquettishly.

"Aren't I telling the truth?" Tang Fei avoided looking An Ning in the eye.

An Ning's eyes made him a little panic.

This girl has really grown up, grown up in all aspects.

She is no longer the little girl who only follows behind him.

"Brother, you asked me to take charge of the affairs in Sun City, what about you?" An Ning asked, "Where are you going?"

Tang Fei looked up at the vast night sky. There was no moon and no stars.

It was as dark and gloomy as ever.

"I'm going up there. I'm going to find him back." Tang Fei said with a firm look in his eyes.

An Ning's eyes flashed with panic, and then disappeared in an instant.

She stretched out her hands, opened her arms, and said, "Brother, I'll wait for you here. When you come back, the entire Flame Shrine will be yours."

Tang Fei stretched out his hand and hugged her tenderly.
