Chapter 394: Chapter 394 Leaving
However, what they could never have imagined was that the very explanation they considered unreliable was the real reason behind Ling Fengās actions!
"Hey, why didnāt you kill them just now!" On the way back with Saint Di Anfu, she expressed her regret.
"Kill them? Why should I kill them?" Ling Feng said lazily, "Theyāre the Saint Heirs of the Dark Churchāthey could die by your hand, but not by mine! After all, I have no personal grudge against them, and if I killed them, the whole of Huaxia would be dragged into it, especially now that Iām an Honorary Elder of the Dragon Group, I wouldnāt do that!"
Saint Di Anfu understood this in her heart, but she still harbored a sliver of fantasy. After all, she had truly been terrified just now.
"By the way, I just saved you, thereby preventing a major conflict between the Papal Court of Light and the Dark Church, right?" Ling Feng suddenly asked.
Recalling the scene from earlier, a flicker of fear and gratitude surfaced in Saint Di Anfuās eyes.
Only after experiencing deep despair could one truly appreciate the beauty of life. And after this incident, any aversion Saint Di Anfu felt towards Ling Feng for his previous manipulations had almost vanished.
"What are you getting at?" Saint Di Anfu asked, suspecting that since Ling Feng was the first to bring it up, he must have some scheme in mind.
Ling Feng chuckled, "Iām not up to anything; just wanted to remind you! I might not be one to exploit gratitude for personal gain, but I believe the Papal Court of Light is certainly an organization that would repay a debt of gratitude, right?"
The corners of Saint Di Anfuās mouth twitched, "Just speak your mind!"
"Well... Iāve got a bit of an urgent matter and would like to borrow the Crown of Light. Since weāre basically family now, could you perhaps make an exception and let me use it?" Ling Feng asked with a grin, negotiating.
"No way!" Saint Di Anfuās inner fire rose as she said sternly, "This doesnāt align with our agreement. We can only lend you the Crown of Light after weāve received the Scepter of Kings!"
"Tsk, how stingy! Didnāt I just save you?"
"If you think itās not worth it, you can just send me back!"
Ling Feng retreated, knowing he was not low enough to do that: "Fine, you win!"

Watching Ling Fengās frustrated manner, Saint Di Anfuās lips revealed a faint smile, stunningly beautiful!
The next day, sure enough, a Western man voluntarily turned himself in at the security department of Yan University, confessing to stealing clothes from the female dorms, creating a huge stir in building nine!
However, according to the Western man, his reason for coming forward was because of the building nine administrator! This news elevated Ling Fengās status in the hearts of the female students in building nine.
Ling Feng at the duty desk noticed that the number of girls coming and going to greet him had increased.
But Ling Feng knew that after catching the perverted underwear thief and solving the issue, he too would have to leave this place.
After all, the school had tolerated him acting as an administrator in the female dorms only because of the underwear thief! Of course, the most direct reason was that Yun Hanrui wanted to mess with him!
Yet, after spending a month here, Ling Feng discovered he had actually grown fond of the atmosphere.
The relaxed environment, cute girls, and not having to care about the bloody chaos outside allowed Ling Feng to enjoy a peace he had not felt in a long time!
Moreover, this was where his father had worked in the past. Ling Fengās feelings for this place were very complex.
While Ling Feng was lost in thought over the past, the door of the duty room suddenly burst open, and a familiar-looking student appeared before him, "Ling Feng, tell me quickly, where did Catherine go?"
Looking at the angry face of the student, Ling Feng finally remembered his name.
"Iāve said before, Catherine is my woman. Yet you dare to come looking for her. Thatās quite brave of you!" Ling Feng said coolly.
Zhou Lin, his eyes red, said, "Catherine is your woman? You donāt have to lie to me. If she truly were your woman, would you not know that she has disappeared?"
"Disappeared?" Ling Feng was startled.
Ling Feng was confident about Catherine! He had an inkling about her disappearance; after all, Catherine had mentioned before that she was planning to leave.
But still, a trace of sadness arose in Ling Fengās heart. He had thought Catherine would come back to say goodbye before her departure, but instead... she left quietly without a word!
"Catherine is not someone you can covet!" Ling Fengās mood, for some reason, was not good, and he spoke coldly, "You better forget her quickly. If you dare mention her in front of me again, beware that Iāll deal with you!"
Under Ling Fengās icy glare, Zhou Lin felt as though he was standing amidst ice, and he couldnāt help but take a step back, "You... you dare to threaten me? Just you wait!"
Having said that, Zhou Lin fled in panic!
Ling Feng pulled out his phone and stared at the name in the contact list for a good ten minutes before finally making the call.
The call was picked up quickly, "Whatās the occasion today? The great Blood-Handed Asura is actually calling me?"
On the other end of the line, Catherineās playful laughter came through.
"When did you leave?" Ling Feng asked in a low voice.
"Eh? Are you concerned about me?" Catherine teased, "This isnāt easy for you. Shouldnāt I be touched and show some gratitude?"
"When did you leave?" Ling Feng asked again, hesitating before he added, "Why didnāt you say goodbye to me?"
"Say goodbye?" Catherine fell silent, then after a long while, she said, "I didnāt dare to say goodbye to you. I was afraid that if I saw you, I wouldnāt have the heart to leave! Ling Feng, there are things I must do here. Once Iāve finished, I will come back to find you, even if you try your hardest to push me away. I will cling to you! In this life, I, Catherine, have only loved you. Do you know that?"
Ling Feng clenched the phone. Love? Did he love Catherine? Ling Feng was uncertain. So when Catherine again spoke of love, Ling Feng fell silent.
"Alright, Iām very happy that you called me," Catherineās voice trembled slightly, "If you just wanted to ask why I didnāt say goodbye when I left, you should know by now, right? If thereās nothing else, I need to hang up, international roaming is expensive, you know!"
Ling Feng silently held the phone, but no sound of disconnection came from it.
"Why donāt you hang up?" Ling Feng asked softly.
"I... I canāt bear to!" After uttering these words, Catherine quickly ended the call, and faintly, Ling Feng thought he heard a sob the moment the line went dead.
"Catherine, Iām sorry! I canāt face you after taking my revenge, because from the beginning to the end, I never let go of that piece of history, that grudge!" Ling Feng closed his eyes, "I think after some days, Iāll be able to truly understand my feelings for you, whether itās love or just guilt!"
