Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 123 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (9)

Shi Qi casually glanced around the laundry room, looking every bit like a superior on an inspection tour, until he stopped in front of the person in charge.

"Are there enough staff in the laundry room lately?"

The person in charge flattered, "Of course it's enough. We even have a newcomer today! It's said that the Holy Son personally appointed him!" Just from this, you can tell that Lord's life here won't be very good.

"Does Your Majesty think there's anything we need to improve?" the person in charge asked again.

Shi Qi shook his head: "I'm quite satisfied with what I saw today, except... that new guy... his name is Lord, right?"

Upon hearing Shi Qi mention the newcomer, the person in charge immediately tried to recall the name, and after a moment said, "Yes, it's a young man named Lord Augustine. Does Your Majesty know him?" He wondered why Shi Qi was asking this.

Shi Qi avoided the question, only whispering, "I hope you can help me check if he has a birthmark on his left shoulder." As she spoke, she took off a ruby ​​ring from her hand and placed it in the person in charge's hand.

Upon seeing this, the person in charge immediately put away the ring and said with a beaming smile, "Your Majesty's orders will certainly be fulfilled!"

Shi Qi nodded in satisfaction: "I'll wait for your news." After saying that, Shi Qi turned and left.

No sooner had 007 left the laundry room than he returned: "Host, I'm back! Did anything difficult happen while I was gone?"

Shi Qi: "No... The way you're saying that makes it sound like I can't live without you."

007 said shyly, "Oh dear, host~ I was just worried about you. Besides, your praise is too high. To receive such a compliment from you, I can die without regrets!"

Shi Qi: "..."

Not far from the laundry room, Shi Qi ran into Fran, who had just left him not long ago.

Fran looked surprised: "Godfather? What are you doing here?" The place Shi Qi came to was only the logistics department and the servants' quarters.

Shi Qi's expression remained calm: "I've come to inspect the situation here."

Fran nodded, half-believing, half-doubting, then thought, "His godfather certainly wouldn't lie to me," and mentally berated himself. He actually doubted his godfather! Could he still be his godfather's dearest godson?!

"I was just about to have dinner. Has Godfather eaten yet? Would you like to join us?" Fran asked, dispelling all his doubts.

Shi Dian nodded: "Okay, let's go together." He was both relieved that Fran was so easy to fool and somewhat regretful that the male lead was too trusting. No wonder he was fooled by the original owner for so long.

Three days later, on an ordinary Sunday

On Sundays, all members of the Vatican are required to attend services. Those with names and titles gather in the prayer room to pray together; others, wherever they are, must stop what they are doing and immediately join in prayer.

After the morning service ended and everyone else had left, Shi Qi led Fran, the Son of God, out of the prayer room. Strangely enough, Shi Qi hadn't heard the God of Light speak a single word in the past few days; perhaps he was busy with something.

As soon as they stepped out of the prayer room, they were stopped by Lord.

Fran stepped forward, blocking Shi Qi's path and adopting a protective stance: "What are you trying to do?"

Lord glanced at Fran, who was slightly shorter than him, and then fixed his gaze on Shi Qi behind him: "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you. Do you have time now?"

Just as he was about to speak, a hand landed on Fran's shoulder. Fran knew that this was a warning not to make any rash moves, so he had no choice but to swallow his words.

Shi Qi: "What's wrong? Tell me."

Seeing that Lord didn't speak but instead glanced at Fran in front of him, Shi Qi knew what he meant: "Fran, you should go back first."

Fran turned to look at Shi Qi, his face full of disbelief: "Godfather? You want to talk to him alone?"

Shi Qi nodded silently, so Fran had no choice but to walk back dejectedly, even giving Lord a fierce look before leaving.

"Fate Value -5"

Seeing Fran leave, Lord finally spoke, saying, "Thank you for having someone take good care of me." He then gave Shi Qi a slight bow.

Lord's favorability +5

Shi Qi fell silent: "...Who told you that?"

Lord: "No one told me. I just overheard the person in charge talking to someone else by chance, and that's how I found out what you did for me." To his shame, he had even spoken ill of Fran in front of him.

But His Holiness the Pope clearly knew he had spoken ill of him behind his back, so why would he help him? Lord was puzzled, so he asked, "Why would you help me for no reason?"

Shi Qi: Hmm... how do you explain this? In order to "pervert" find out if you have a birthmark shaped like a tooth mark, you bribed someone to secretly take a look for me?

That's impossible: "I found you pleasing to the eye, and I heard that Fran sent you to the laundry room, so I thought I'd help you out."

Lord: "Anyway, I still want to thank you for your help." He bowed again.

Lord's favorability +5

Shi Qi nodded silently: "No need to thank me. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now; you should go back too." Although he knew that Lord might be that person, Shi Qi still felt uneasy being with him.

Lord nodded, then watched Shi Qi's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

His Holiness the Pope helped him for a reason, but this guy is pleasing to the eye... Could it be that the Pope likes his appearance?

Two more days passed, and Shi Qi finally received news from the person in charge of the laundry room.

"What? No birthmark on your shoulder?"

The person in charge nodded: "Someone saw his body while taking a shower, and there was indeed no birthmark anywhere."

"Understood, you can go back now." After the person in charge left, Shi Qi immediately dropped his papal airs and slumped into a chair. This wasn't him either. Who was he this time?

007: "Host, how about we stop looking and finish this world sooner? We can meet again in the next world."

Shi Qi stubbornly shook his head: "I promised him I would find him soon, and I will not break my promise."

007: "Host..."

Shi Qi said, "Alright, no need to persuade me anymore." With that, he stood up and went into the dressing room.

007: "Host, what are we doing here?"

Shi Qi: "Going out to look for someone..."
