Secret Talks

  The reason is none other than Du Fan actually lost a pair of gloves.

  At the hot spring, in order to avoid getting his gloves dirty when opening the hole, Du Fan casually took off his white gloves and threw them aside. If it were usual times, Du Fan wouldn't be so careless, but this afternoon something unexpected happened, and he didn't have time to pick up his gloves.

  And later a series of events that were too shocking, so Du Fan had also forgotten about this matter.

  But now that Emily mentioned it, Du Fan suddenly remembered that he had left a big flaw today. To know that the white gloves were distributed by the Vatican, although basically every priest uses this kind of glove, but if they want to investigate, it's not impossible to find out who the owner of this pair of gloves is.

  In that case, as long as we follow the clues, it will be easy to find out who the peeping tom is. In fact, even the things that happened in the old chapel will be uncovered.

  At this thought, Du Fan only felt his scalp was getting cooler and cooler. As someone who was in the Sacred Court, he naturally knew that the Sacred Court wasn't as benevolent as they claimed to be on the surface. If this little girl were to expose him, he would truly be finished.

  Fortunately, this little girl did not do so.

  Taking a deep breath, Du Fan calmed down and his mind cleared up. He was certain that this little girl couldn't be 100% sure that the guy back then was him, and with his current reputation, as long as there was no evidence, nobody would dare to do anything to him.

  So in an instant, Du Fan had set his goal for today: apart from getting the Mirak drug, he must also get that pair of gloves back. This was not difficult for Du Fan at all; as long as he got a chance to be alone with Emily, it would be enough.

  After thinking for so long, it was actually just a momentary thing. Du Fan's expression didn't change at all, and he said with a hint of puzzlement: "Gloves? Miss Emily, what do you mean? It seems I haven't lost my gloves?"

  As he spoke, he waved his hand, on which was a pair of freshly changed white gloves.

  "Really?" Emily smiled slightly, "If not, then forget it. But I've always admired Mr. Du Fan, and if we have the chance, we should find a quiet room to have a good talk."

  Want to talk in a quiet room? Du Fan was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that he had probably missed something. It's likely that the Emily family has some influence, and they should have already investigated that the gloves were indeed his. However, she still didn't say anything, probably wanting to threaten him into helping her with something.

  Then again in connection with today's banquet, the answer is simply forthcoming.

  Having understood this point, Du Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Emily, oh Emily, even if you're as cunning as a ghost, today I'll definitely make you lose both your wife and soldiers, just wait and see.

  "Alright then." Du Fan let out a slight sigh, staring at Emily, "Actually, I noticed it this morning in the chapel. You seemed a bit distracted, Miss Emily. I'm afraid you still have some doubts about your faith. Don't worry, it's normal for believers to have some confusion. If there's an opportunity, I'll make sure to enlighten you properly."

  Emily's face changed, she bit her lip as if she wanted to get angry, but still endured.

  At this time, Princess Nina also noticed Du Fan's situation. She apologized to the surrounding noble young masters and said something, then walked over with a gentle and elegant demeanor, looking at Du Fan lightly and saying: "I suppose this is Mr. Du Fan? Although I don't go out much, I have always admired your reputation."

  As she spoke, Princess Nina slowly extended her right hand.

  Du Fan felt a wave of nausea in his heart, but still slightly bowed and kissed Nina Princess's hand, saying: "The princess is overpraising me, all this is just rumors, Du Fan is not talented, and is only an ordinary priest, there is nothing to be envied. But to be honest, I really admire Your Highness. My elder brother has been waiting for your response, I don't know when you will agree to become my sister-in-law?"

  "Duke Fan laughed," Princess Nina smiled, "Nina is not qualified to marry into your Green family, so please don't make this kind of joke in the future. Never mind, we won't talk about this today. I just found that you and my two friends seem to be chatting quite happily, and I couldn't help but come over to take a look. You should know that Emily is not mentioned for now, our Miss Mia has never had a good face for men."

  "Perhaps, in Miss Miya's eyes, I'm just a devoted priest with no ill intentions towards her? As for Miss Emily, why, I just helped her pray this morning! And look, she even invited me to find a quiet room to chat with her earlier. I reckon it's because she still has some doubts about her faith, don't you think, Miss Emily?"

  Amy was taken aback for a moment, and she couldn't understand why Du Fan would be so cooperative. However, she still replied: "Yes, although I received the blessing of the God of Light this morning, there is still some confusion in my heart. If I have time, I naturally want to talk to you, Mr. Du Fan. After all, you are one of the most devout priests in the Imperial City. If it's you, you must be able to dispel the confusion in my heart."

  When it came to the word "piety", Emily's mouth corner floated a sarcastic smile, and the taste inside made Du Fan somewhat cry and laugh. However, someone has always had a thick skin, directly pretending not to see it.

  Princess Nina looked at Emily, she was very clear about this friend, what she hated most was the set of swindling people, but how could she say such a thing today? However, looking at Du Fan's clean face, Princess Nina's heart moved, and she couldn't help but reveal a hint of a ambiguous smile. This little girl had actually started thinking about men, and her vision was quite good too!

  Nina princess smiled slightly and said: "Emily, if you need to, you can borrow my study room for use. After all, there aren't many people coming now, the banquet has started, but you don't have to worry, when it's time for the final performance, I will naturally send someone to inform you."

  The final program is naturally the appearance of Mirakle medicine.

  Before that, settling this little girl was also a good choice. Du Fan sneered in his heart for a few times, but still smiled and said: "Then thank you Princess Nina, for the confusion of believers, I always hope to be able to dispel her doubts at the first time."

  Emily stared at Du Fan for a while, then smiled and said, "So Nina, I'll trouble you with this."

  Princess Nina smiled slightly and beckoned a servant to lead Du Fan and the others, then pulled Maya who wanted to speak but hesitated, and quickly left.

  Du Fan and Emily followed the waiter upstairs to the second floor.

  The servant led the two into the study and presented them with two cups of red tea before quickly retreating.

  In the book, Du Fan and Emily sat opposite each other. Du Fan gently blew on the red tea in front of him and smiled softly: "Alright, Miss Emily, we don't need to beat around the bush anymore. Since we're here, everyone knows what's going on. Although you have a few doubts in your heart, I'm not someone who likes to deceive people. You guessed it right, the pair of gloves you picked up is indeed mine."

  Emily's face showed a "so that's how it is" expression, she swallowed a mouthful of red tea and coldly said: "So that means the person who was peeking at us in the hot spring today was you?"

  "It should be, right!" Du Fan shrugged indifferently, "But even if I admit it, how many people do you think would believe in this city? The most devout priest in history, humble, loving and just Mr. Du Fan is a peeping Tom, how many people would believe such a story?"

  Emily's face changed, and she had already thought of this point. Given the reputation of this bastard, there wouldn't be many people who would believe it. However, she also had a countermeasure in place. She sneered again before saying: "Young Master Du Fan, but don't forget that you were discovered by how many people this afternoon? If we report this incident and present evidence, even if the Vatican can't do anything to you for the time being, it's likely to be detrimental to your promotion as a cardinal, isn't it?"

  "It seems to make some sense" Du Fan touched the ring on his hand, "So what do you want then? Or in other words, how are you planning to return the so-called evidence to me and thoroughly forget about this matter?"

  Emily's face lit up with a few smiles as she saw her goal achieved: "As long as you help us tonight and let our family get the Mirak medicine smoothly, I can consider returning the evidence to you."

  "Miraculous medicine? And, still considering?" Du Fan's mouth corner floated with a hint of slyness. "Dear Miss Emily, can I assume that apart from helping you obtain the Miraculous Medicine, I will also have to continue doing things for you in the future until you think I am no longer useful and then return the so-called evidence: those gloves to me?"
