now, both of them were pale with fear, their guts churning with regret. Who would have thought that a casual skirmish would lead them to encounter such a ruthless character like Ye BufanI originally t..."Understood, Your Majesty. I will go to Violet Orchid Hotel now and investigate the matter."

Casillas readily agreed, knowing that this time the Emperor was serious.

First, the Cardinal in red was killed silently, causing a huge loss to the Divine Court. Second, once it spreads, the Divine Court, which has always been high above, will also lose face.

"Let's keep this investigation under wraps for now. Don't let Helena find out about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

Casillas hung up the phone after finishing his conversation.

Once he finished his call, Guardiola and the rest of the group immediately rushed over to him.

"Your Eminence, what does the Emperor say"

"The Holy Light Medallion shattered, and Ferguson and Douglas are dead."

"What, dead"

Others who heard the news were also amazed, they didn't expect that the first Red-Robed Cardinal would die just like this.

Casillas said, "Well, it's getting late. Let's head back to the hotel."

After Ferguson's death, everyone present took him as their leader.

Giles said, "But Your Grace, are we just going to let this go Shouldn't we find the murderer"

Casillas looked at him impassively: "Then tell me, how do you find it"

"I..."

Gareth was speechless. With no leads whatsoever, what could he possibly do

"Alright, there's no need to rush this. We can go back and look for more clues."

Casillas turned his head and walked towards the mountain, leading the people from the Divine Court to the Violet Rose Hotel.

Back at the hotel, after settling everyone else in, he told Helena and Sophie, "Let's go visit Mr. Ye. He's well-traveled and knowledgeable; he might be able to give us some advice."

"Great, I'm just going to check on Brother Ye anyway. I miss him."

Although Ferguson's death was a big deal, affecting everyone in the Divine Court, Helena couldn't compare it to what Ye Bufan meant to her.

Three people walked out of the room and toward Ye Bufan's room together, arriving at the door and knocking on it.

The door opened, but instead of Ye Bufan, it was Alice, the number one beauty in M country.

She had just taken a shower, and she wore a silk nightgown with straps. Her golden hair was still damp, cascading down her porcelain shoulders.

Her fair cheeks were flushed, like blooming peaches, and her eyes sparkled with endless spring.

Although Helena is inexperienced, hasn't she ever seen a fat pig run or eaten pork Now that the internet is so developed, of course she understands everything. She immediately felt something was wrong.

"What's going on What are you doing How did you get out of Big Ye's room"

Alice glared at him. "What's your problem Leo is my boyfriend. What we do is none of your business."

“You…you get out of the way, we need to see Big Brother Ye.”

Helena, though angry, was helpless and pushed Alice aside before rushing into the room. Cassian, though a little awkward, followed after her for his own purposes.

"Where is Brother Ye"

Helena looked around, but she couldn't see Ye Bufan anywhere. She turned back and asked.

"Need I say more Of course, I'm taking a bath."

Alice pointed towards the bathroom, and everyone fell silent. Then they could hear the faint sound of running water.

"This..."

By now, even a fool could tell what just happened in the room.

Helena's face was ashen with anger, but there was nothing she could do.

Casillas sat on the sofa, glancing through the crack in the door with the corner of his eye. He saw a mess on the bed in the bedroom and could faintly smell a musky scent.

Although he was a cardinal, he was more of a man. He could tell at a glance what had just happened here.

At this moment, the bathroom door opened and Ye Bufan walked out in his pajamas.

Seeing several people, a look of astonishment appeared on his face: "My Lord Bishop, Helena, how did you return so quickly Didn't you say the trials would take three days"

"Brother Ye, how could you do this Did you know I wasn't here and just mess around with her"

Helena stepped forward and took his arm, her face full of grievance.

For so many days she had been with Ye Bufan, but in the end she still couldn't cross the last step, while Alice seemed to have an advantage in this regard.

Alice was immediately upset: "How dare you speak like that Leo is my boyfriend, and we're completely open about it. What do you mean 'ghosting around'"

Seeing that the two women were about to start a fight, Ye Bufan quickly reached out and stopped them.

"Alright, be quiet, the Bishop is here."

The two women then glared at each other with disdain and said nothing more.

Ye Bufan walked across from Castilla and sat down, looking at him with confusion.

(To be continued on the next page)

“My Lord Bishop, what on earth is going on Why have you returned so suddenly Wasn't it supposed to take three days”

"It's a long story, the Saintess Trial had some unexpected developments."

Casillas succinctly recounted the events, concluding by emphasizing that the Fergusons were dead.

"What The bishop is dead How could this be"

Ye Bufan shot up from the sofa, his face full of shock.

He then said, “Impossible Are you joking with me Cardinal Ferguson is the highest-ranking cardinal in the Divine Court. His cultivation is unfathomable. Who could possibly lay a hand on him”

Casillas revealed all of this to gauge the other party's reaction.

Up until now, Ye Bufan's reaction has been entirely within the realm of normal people. His shock is completely genuine.

And the relationship with Alice wasn't a pretense either, they had just engaged in primal sexual activity.

Even if this young man were exceptionally skilled, it would be impossible for him to silently infiltrate Angel Mountain, kill Ferguson, and then return to do such a thing. It's simply an impossible mission.

He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. It seemed the Divine Emperor had made a wrong judgment; this matter probably really had nothing to do with him.

"This is certainly no joke, Mr. Ferguson is truly dead."

By now, Casillas wasn't in the mood to stay any longer. After a brief exchange of words, he bid farewell and left.

Back inside the room, Gareth was already there waiting with a platter in hand.

"Your Grace, I have obtained the hotel's entire day's security footage using hacking methods. You can take a look."

"Okay."

Casillas finished speaking and opened his computer, inserting the flash drive. He played back the video surveillance footage at 32x speed.

As the Cardinal in crimson robes, his spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary people. He could see clearly even at the fastest speed.

In a short while, he had watched the entire video surveillance footage, including their morning departure together and later Ye Bufan and Alice returning to the hotel.

After that, she never left the house again, not even her own door. Lucy was the only one who came and went a few times during this period; no one else visited.

After finishing, the last shred of doubt he had left was completely dispelled. He then reached for his phone and relayed the entire situation to Emperor Adamus.

(The End)sumed.However, there was no other way. In order to rapidly increase the strength of the Divine Court, even the God Emperor had to go all out."Mr. Ye, to be honest with you, these medicinal herbs have...
