Being dragged forward by Xilin, Ning Feng did not resist and followed her obediently, turning his head to look at her profile.
The face was the same as before, with no makeup applied, but Ning Feng was a little afraid to recognize it.
Shireen's appearance is different from before.
To be precise, it is the aura that exudes from his body.
Ning Feng has seen several other modes of Shilin before, such as the intellectual and cunning Dr. Lin, the crazy alchemist, and even the shy look of a little woman...
It is normal for everyone to have several masks that they wear when dealing with different people.
Not to mention that Shireen is a very beautiful woman. In people's impression, such women are very good at acting.
He thought he knew enough about Shireen, but he didn't expect that she would surprise him so much.
Today he saw a new look of Shireen - a legend.
That is a legendary aura.
Aloof, no words are needed, and every move brings a powerful aura.
But surprisingly, Ning Feng had no emotions like fear and awe in his heart.
Maybe it was because Xilin had restrained her aura in Ning Feng, or maybe because he knew several other aspects of her, he really couldn't get nervous.
Walking side by side, other things did not enter Ning Feng's sight. He only had Shilin's face in his eyes.
Such concentration even reached the point where Shirin couldn't hold back.
("When are you going to see this again?")
Shilin's slightly embarrassed voice sounded in Ning Feng's heart, venting her dissatisfaction.
Oh, whisper?
I'm good at this!
He wanted to reply, but Ning Feng didn't have the ability to transmit his voice out of thin air, so he whispered to himself:
"See...when are you willing to look at me."
She seemed to turn her head inadvertently, glared at Ning Feng angrily, and then quickly turned back.
("I'll settle the score with you later. I'll deal with this crow first.")
("You still haven't turned back!")
Seeing her acting like a thief, Ning Feng couldn't restrain his smile and chuckled, then looked back with some reluctance.
The trial crow who was walking silently behind him felt completely different from Ning Feng at this moment.
Ning Feng was completely unaware of the pressure on Xilin, but to Crow, that dazzling aura shone before his eyes without any concealment.
Legends, as awakened beings who have transcended from mortal things, their existence itself represents power.
Each legend has his or her own unique legendary aura, which not only represents the aura but also represents the identity.
If they are not deliberately concealed, they can be perceived and distinguished by other legends through these auras.
And at this moment, Xilin exposed the strength he had always concealed in front of the crow.
This is a show of force, or an attitude.
【He is my man, don’t make any small moves.】
Although he didn't know why the other party expressed this, there was no doubt from the other party's silent attitude.
In terms of organizational structure, he does not need to be afraid of a legend who is also a member of the Watch Club, but the prerequisite is that he does not provoke the dignity of the legend.
Any legend, regardless of the good or evil camp, they stand out from countless people and deserve to be respected.
If he is hurt because he offends a legend who has nothing to do with the incident for no reason, even the Inquisition will not stand up for him.
So, he had to lower his head and walk respectfully behind the two people.
It can't be called fear, but it feels a little heavy in my heart.
He himself is not a weakling, and he has seen many big scenes after joining the Tribunal.
It's not like he has never seen legends in his daily life. He even followed a large army to destroy the lair of a legendary enemy.
However, when he really has to face a legend with unknown intentions alone, he still feels nervous.
I'm obviously just on an ordinary mission, but I just came to ask an ordinary person why such a thing happened?
Before coming to Bincheng, he did a certain amount of research as usual, and found that the branch chief's information had been blocked to a certain extent.
He did have some preparations in mind, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually be a legend.
And this legend actually openly stated his position.
It's not exactly hostile, but it's definitely not that friendly.
To be honest, Crow was a little confused about the relationship between these two people.
The relationship between leaders and subordinates? Like, but the attitude of subordinates is a bit frivolous and not calm.
A man is qualified to walk side by side with that legend. The two of them are like friends, but they don't seem to have that natural feeling.
Is it possible that the two people are... lovers?
As soon as this idea appeared, he was decisively cut off.
……impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
I must be thinking too much.
What kind of connection can there be between a legend and an awakened person who is only at the first level according to the data?
Judging from the attitudes of the two people at this time, it seems that they are closer than they thought.
Ning Feng also noticed a difference at this time. After entering the room this time, the layout of the space was very different from his previous impression.
Those modern machines disappeared, the entrance to Shireen's boudoir could not be found, and the whole space changed its appearance.
The entire spacious room does not seem empty. It is filled with a large number of floating bookshelves filled with classics. Both sides are also filled with bottles and jars and some traditional alchemy equipment.
This is not the room where Shireen usually lives, but a space specially used to welcome outsiders.
The classics represent the path of her knowledge genealogy, and the alchemy equipment proves her chosen profession, which is a bit of a revelation.
Such specifications are already a very high-standard welcoming ceremony for the legend.
The scene in front of him also made Crow a little flattered, and he felt much better.
He really didn't expect that the other party would actually show such kindness after showing off his threats.
Is this just a stick and a jujube for sweetness?
However, he completely failed to consider one thing...
This is the ceremony, and it may not be prepared for him.
Did Shilin really let Ning Feng's pigeons go on purpose?
She did have this idea, but she didn't start implementing it.
The door had not been opened just now. Apart from some minor problems, it was mainly because Ning Feng came a little early and she was not ready yet.
She originally planned to let Ning Feng wait a little longer, but this uninvited guest disrupted her plan.
After passing the long corridor full of bookshelves, Shireen came to the small table in the center of the room and sat down.
It's like a small round table carried by aristocratic ladies when they go out for afternoon tea, with exquisite refreshments and two cups of tea placed on it.
There were only two chairs next to the table, but Ning Feng did not sit in the seat prepared for him at this time. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and stood behind Shilin.
He didn't sit down, and Crow didn't even dare to sit down. He could only stand not far away and look at the two people who made him more and more confused.
What is their relationship?
Xilin wanted to turn her head and roll her eyes at Ning Feng, who was pretending to be powerful behind her, but she was still trying to maintain her legendary persona at this time.
I could only pick up the tea cup, take a sip and say:
"Okay, time is limited, please explain your purpose of coming."
Time is limited and the tea is getting cold.
Standing where he was, Crow first bowed to Shireen again, expressing his gratitude for this welcoming ceremony.
Then he put the hat back on, and his temperament returned to normal.
He spoke in the same calm narrative way before:
"I really don't have any ill intentions towards him. It's just a routine inquiry and I need his help to provide some information."
"As the last person to interact or even talk to the prisoner, we need him to help confirm a few things."
"We only need him to answer a few questions, and there is nothing else required."
Shirin lowered her head slowly and did not try to stop her.
To be able to do this, she has already gone too far.
Although I don’t know why this crow was so polite this time, and he was able to explain so many things without getting angry after being given a thumbs down...
But if we continue, it will really be considered a provocation to the trial court, and that would be bad.
After receiving permission, Crow turned his head to look at Ning Feng, who always had a smile on his face and said:
"Please note that from now on, all your answers must be true and reliable."
Nodding, Ning Feng nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
"That's natural. Even if you don't say it, I will show it in the combat report. Please ask."
If Ning Feng was alone, the conversation would naturally not be so friendly.
He would not take the initiative to explain these things, but would do it business-like, taking Ning Feng away like a real plague doctor, and then use some "gentle" methods to question him.
"Why did you appear in that place? With your strength, you wouldn't have dared to appear there."
"I sent it."
Unexpectedly, he looked at Shirin who just said this sentence and stopped explaining. Crow nodded slowly and continued to ask without going into details:
"What's your relationship with that one?"
This time, not only Crow but also Shireen was curious about the answer.
Things there were blocked at all levels, and she only knew the ending of the matter, but not the process.
Ning Feng, who was behind Xilin, smiled and said words that made her expression a little out of control.
"We were once an adoptive father and an adopted son."
!!!
Shilin wanted to turn back, but the conversation between Crow and Ning Feng did not stop, but instead sped up.
Staring closely at every detail of Ning Feng, Crow asked questions one after another:
"Then where is he now?"
"He is dead."
"How did you die?"
"Suicide, maybe he realized something at the last moment, and he chose to commit suicide."
Having said this, Ning Feng smiled slightly in annoyance, and then gently pressed his hand on Shilin's shoulder, suppressing her urge to look back.
Then, Ning Feng smiled apologetically at the crow and said:
"Sorry, I subconsciously lied about the last question."
