The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

The ancient texts represent the path of her knowledge lineage, while the alchemical equipment proves the profession she has chosen, which is somewhat of a revelation of her true intentions.

Such a grand welcome ceremony is already a very high standard for a legendary event.

The scene before him made the crow feel flattered and much better.

He truly hadn't expected that after giving them a hard time, the other party would show such goodwill.

Is this what they mean by giving someone a beating and then offering them a sweet treat?

However, he completely overlooked one thing...

This ceremony might not have been prepared for him.

Did Xilin really stand Ning Feng up on purpose?

She did have this idea, but she didn't start implementing it.

The reason the door wasn't open earlier, aside from a few minor issues, was mainly because Ning Feng arrived rather early, and she wasn't ready yet.

She had originally planned to make Ning Feng wait a little longer, but this uninvited guest disrupted her plans.

After passing through a long corridor lined with bookshelves, Shirin sat down at a small table in the center of the room.

It resembles a small round table that aristocratic ladies would carry when going out for afternoon tea, with delicate tea snacks and two cups of tea 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 his teacup and stood behind Xilin.

He didn't sit down, and the crow dared not sit down either, so it could only stand not far away and watch the two people who were increasingly confusing him.

What exactly is their relationship?

Xilin wanted to turn around and roll her eyes at Ning Feng, who was acting like a bully behind her, but at this moment she was still trying to maintain her legendary persona.

He could only pick up the teacup, take a small sip, and say:

"Alright, time is limited, so please state your purpose."

Time is running out, and the tea is getting cold.

Standing still, the crow first bowed to Shirin again, expressing its gratitude for his welcoming ceremony.

Then he put his hat back on, and his demeanor returned to normal.

He began in his usual calm narrative style:

“I really didn’t have any ill intentions towards him. It was just a routine inquiry, and I needed his help to provide some information.”

"As the last person to confront or even speak with that prisoner, we need him to help confirm a few things."

"We only need him to answer a few questions, and that's all we ask."

Shirin slowly lowered her head, and did not try to stop her anymore.

She has already overstepped her bounds by doing so much.

Although I don't know why this crow was so polite this time, it was able to explain so much without getting angry after being given a hard time...

But if we continue like this, it will really be seen as a provocation against the court, and that would be bad.

Having received permission, the crow turned its gaze to Ning Feng, whose face remained smiling, and said:

"Please note that from now on, all your answers must be truthful and reliable."

Ning Feng nodded slightly and gestured for him to proceed.

"Of course. Even if you didn't say so, I would have included it in the battle report. Please ask."

If it were just Ning Feng alone, the conversation naturally wouldn't have been so friendly.

He wouldn't proactively explain these things, but would handle it strictly by business, taking Ning Feng away like a real plague doctor, and then questioning him in some "gentle" ways.

"Why were you there? With your strength, you wouldn't have dared to be there."

"I delivered it."

Looking at Shirin with surprise, who had only said that one sentence and then stopped explaining, Crow slowly nodded, not pressing the matter further, and continued to ask:

What is your relationship with that person?

This time, not only the crow but also Shirin was very curious about the answer.

The events there were kept under wraps; she only knew the ending, not the details.

Ning Feng, standing behind Xilin, smiled and said something that made her lose control of her expression.

"We? We used to be adoptive father and adopted son."

!!!

Shirin wanted to turn back, but the conversation between Crow and Ning Feng did not stop; instead, it sped up.

Crow stared intently at every detail of Ning Feng's actions, asking a series of questions:

Where is he now?

He is dead.

"How did you die?"

"Suicide might be because he realized something at the last moment, and chose to end his own life."

At this point, Ning Feng smiled with a hint of annoyance, then gently placed his hand on Xilin's shoulder, suppressing her urge to turn around.

Then, Ning Feng smiled apologetically at the crow and said:

"I'm sorry, I lied unconsciously about the last question."

"He did die, but it wasn't suicide."

Smiling, he said:

"He's dead. I did it."

Chapter 110 Conclusion

He's dead. I killed him.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and the serious questioning became somewhat absurd and eerie.

Xilin completely lost control of her facial expressions. If Ning Feng's hand hadn't been pressing on her shoulder the whole time, she would have turned around to see what his expression was like.

As soon as Ning Feng uttered his words, even the expression beneath the raven mask changed slightly.

From the perspective of a watchman, there is no problem in bringing criminals who have caused serious harm to justice, or even killing them in advance.

But the key lies in the relationship between Ning and them.

In a sense, the relationship between an adoptive father and an adopted son is also that of father and son.

Even if Ning Feng did the right thing, there will definitely be people who will see his decision as patricide.

He had seen people who were insane and murdered their parents, but those people made those decisions in a state of mental instability.

Ning Feng, however, showed no signs of anything amiss, even wearing a faint smile on his face, showing no remorse whatsoever.

After a moment's hesitation, the crow continued:

"Isn't your relationship good?"

He felt that the premise—that someone had been abused and finally fought back after gaining power—was rather reasonable.

Ning Feng's answer then silenced him once again.

"No, strictly speaking, our relationship is very good, really good."

“He is a good adoptive father. Although we are not related by blood, he has no prejudice against us and takes care of us wholeheartedly.”

Ning Feng pondered seriously, his expression devoid of any mockery. Instead, he meticulously listed the image of Li Tiandu in his mind.

"Materially, he did not give us more than we needed for daily life, but he also did not make unreasonable demands on us."

“From a spiritual perspective, no matter what problems or troubles we have, he will listen carefully and offer his advice.”

"He was trying to give us a normal and stable life in his own way, and he... actually did it."

“I am very grateful to him, from the bottom of my heart.”

From the perspective of an adoptive father, Li Tiandu did everything perfectly.

These are not sarcastic remarks; they are all expressions from his heart.

silence.

Both the crow and Shirin fell silent at this point.

Because he could sense Ning Feng's gratitude towards Li Tiandu, he made no attempt to hide that emotion.

But the more this was the case, the less they understood why Ning Feng could say those words so calmly.

They could all vaguely sense a deep-seated madness hidden within Ning Feng.

Having seen similar scenes many times before, the crow was the first to recover and asked:

"Then why did you take action?"

yeah why?

Xilin also wanted to ask, and at this moment she also concentrated her mind and tried to perceive the details behind her.

With a calm demeanor tinged with something strange, Ning Feng looked at the crow for a few more moments before saying:

"Why? Is that even a question?"

"Because he committed a crime."

The smile faded from Ning Feng's face, and he answered softly, as calmly as a rational machine:

“His past achievements and his crimes cannot offset each other; he deserves praise, but he should also be punished.”

“I think that you, coming from the court, should be more aware of the connection than I am.”

The crow felt numb inside.

He was certainly aware of these things, and he reviewed them every month.

He understands these principles, but the idea of ​​putting righteousness before family is easy to say, but how many people can actually do it in the end?
