Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Sincerity

Because outside the CEO’s office, both of them were a bit too excited, it took Lin Zhijie less than ten minutes to surrender!

After straightening out their clothes, the two made their way to Sun Xiaofei’s office, as she had just been promoted to head of the International Market Department and naturally had her own office.

"What just happened?" Lin Zhijie asked as soon as he sat down on the sofa in the office.

Sun Xiaofei nestled in Lin Zhijie’s arms and gave him a quick rundown of the recent events.

"What? Yun Hanrui is feeling unwell?" Lin Zhijie’s gaze flickered, "It looks like it’s time for me to step in!"

As he spoke, a wicked smile played at the corners of Lin Zhijie’s mouth.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng, along with the Bright Saintess and Alessandro, arrived at a small café and after entering a private room, Ling Feng sat down and said indifferently, "Alright, spit it out. What do you want from me?"

Alessandro heaved a sigh of relief. At first, he really thought Ling Feng was going to take the Saintess home! It turned out to be a false alarm!

But even if they wanted to follow Ling Feng back, he would definitely not let them. Ling Feng’s home was his and only those he recognized as friends would be invited over, and the Bright Saintess and Alessandro were far from qualifying.

The Bright Saintess said softly, "We’ve come hastily this time to inquire about... the matter concerning Furry Ball!"

Ling Feng looked at the Bright Saintess expressionlessly, not uttering a word.

Continuing, the Bright Saintess said, "I assume you, being a member of the Underworld, are also aware of the relations between the Papal Court of Light and the Dark Cathedral. Moreover, the identity of this Three-Headed Dog is complicated; we must investigate the powers behind it!"

Ling Feng’s brow furrowed slightly, still not speaking as if pondering something.

Alessandro was quite dissatisfied with Ling Feng’s attitude. The Saintess was the spokesperson of the Bright Church! Even the Dragon King wouldn’t dare to dismiss the Saintess’s words like this! This man was too arrogant for his own good. So what if his spiritual power reached the A-level Peak? Alessandro was confident he could capture this arrogant man within five seconds!

After a while, just as the Saintess was beginning to grow impatient, Ling Feng’s cold voice finally broke the silence, "Of course, I’m aware of the issues between your Papal Court of Light and the Dark Cathedral, but what I don’t understand is, even if I know, why should I tell you? On what grounds?"

The Saintess and Alessandro were dumbfounded; they hadn’t expected Ling Feng, after all that thinking, to come out with such a response!

Struggling to suppress her irritation, the Bright Saintess said, "We’ve come this time at the invitation of Dragon King, we..."

"I know that!" Ling Feng shrugged, "Even so, what does that have to do with me? I think you’ve made a mistake. Although I’m from the Underworld, I’m not affiliated with the Dragon Group. Even the Dragon King doesn’t have jurisdiction over me!"

The Bright Saintess was caught off guard by Ling Feng’s retort, leaving them momentarily at a loss for words.

Alessandro said coldly, "Young man, I don’t know where you get your confidence from. Since you’re not with the Dragon Group, are you not afraid of offending our Papal Court of Light?"

Ling Feng asked incredulously, "Offend the Papal Court of Light? What have I done to offend the Papal Court of Light? Did I steal the Saintess’s bra or the Pope’s dentures? Is it because I don’t want to answer your questions that I’ve offended the Papal Court of Light? Since when did the Papal Court of Light become so overbearing?"

Alessandro was at a loss for words. In principle, Ling Feng really hadn’t done anything! But with Ling Feng’s words, Alessandro’s ire, which was originally at a three, instantly shot up to a seven!

Even the Bright Saintess, who always maintained a calm demeanor, had a blush spread across her face! Being teased in front of everyone by a youth from Huaxia, where could the Bright Saintess put her face!

Ling Feng, seeing the displeasure on their faces, sneered, "If you request help, you should adopt the demeanor befitting of that request! Wearing a mask to hide your cultivation, do you really dare to display your A-level peak strength in Hua Xia Yanjing?"

The Bright Saintess was inwardly shocked; wearing a mask, could he actually see through her Sacred Veil!

Ling Feng stood up, came next to the Bright Saintess, and with his hand lifted her chin, speaking coldly, "If you want to negotiate terms with me, first take off this layer on your face!"

"How insolent, you dare... dare to defile my young mistress!" Alessandro bellowed furiously. A halo of light appeared around him, ready to strike at Ling Feng!

"Disperse!" Ling Feng turned his head and snapped coldly, a red glint flashing in his eyes.

Alessandro’s body trembled. Looking into Ling Feng’s eyes, it was as though he was submerged in an endless sea of blood, surrounded by a thick and blood-stained tide, swirling with a chilling wind that almost engulfed him!

"No, no!" The Holy Light on Alessandro’s body kept resisting the assault from the sea of blood, but the light was continuously eroded by the blood, and he was on the verge of being submerged!

But in the eyes of Ling Feng and the Bright Saintess, Alessandro was just standing still, his face flickering with ferocious expressions, his aura fluctuating between strong and weak.

"Illusion Technique!" The Bright Saintess took a deep breath, a look of horror in her eyes!

To be able to trap an A-level peak expert in an illusion instantly, just how powerful was this young man from Huaxia!

It was at this moment the Bright Saintess truly felt fear! This fear was not because of Ling Feng, but because it occurred to her, in the vast lands of Huaxia, how many brilliant young talents could there be!

Before her, Ling Feng, whose reputation was inconspicuous, but whose strength was already comparable to an Archbishop of the Bright Church!

"Sir, please, in consideration of the Papal Court of Light, cease your action," the Bright Saintess said, taking a deep breath.

Ling Feng let go, speaking coldly, "Although you are annoying, your crimes are not punishable by death. Rest assured, I was merely teaching him a lesson!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng snapped his fingers. Alessandro shivered, his mind recovering from the sea of blood.

With a "wa" sound, Alessandro spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his previously robust vitality now visibly diminished. He looked at Ling Feng with a gaze filled with fear as if he had witnessed something inconceivable!

Ling Feng sat down, "Now, you can first demonstrate your sincerity!"

The Bright Saintess and Alessandro exchanged glances, a wry smile emerged in their eyes—one of shared hardship. If they had known earlier how formidable Ling Feng was, would they have come so rashly?

A misty fog rose from the face of the Bright Saintess. Slowly, the fog dissipated to reveal a face as delicate and divine as that of a goddess.
