Dragged forward by Xilin, Ning Feng did not resist and obediently followed her side by side, turning his head to look at her profile.
Her face was the same as before, without any makeup, but Ning Feng almost didn't recognize her.
Shirin looks different than before.
To be precise, it's the aura that emanates from a person.
Ning Feng had previously seen several other versions of Shirin, such as the intellectual yet cunning Dr. Lin, the somewhat mad alchemist, and even the shy and demure look of a young woman...
It's normal for everyone to wear several masks when dealing with different people.
Not to mention that Shirin is a very beautiful woman, and in people's minds, such women are very good at acting.
He thought he knew enough about Shirin, but he never expected her to surprise him so much.
Today he saw a new side of Shirin – a legend.
That's the aura of a legend.
High above, needing no words, yet exuding a powerful aura with every move.
Surprisingly, Ning Feng did not feel fear or awe.
Perhaps Xilin restrained her aura in front of Ning Feng, or perhaps because he knew about her other appearances, he simply couldn't be nervous.
Walking side by side, Ning Feng's eyes were fixed on Xilin's face, oblivious to everything else.
Such focus was so intense that it made Xilin unable to hold back.
("How long are you going to keep watching?")
Xilin's slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice rang in Ning Feng's mind, venting her dissatisfaction.
Oh, whispering?
This is something I'm good at!
He wanted to reply, but Ning Feng didn't yet have the ability to transmit his voice out of thin air, so he whispered to himself:
"When...when you're willing to look at me."
She turned her head seemingly casually, glared at Ning Feng angrily, and then quickly turned back.
("I'll settle the score with you later; let's deal with this crow for now.")
(“Why aren’t you turning back!”)
Seeing her acting like a thief, Ning Feng couldn't help but chuckle, then reluctantly looked away.
The crow from the courthouse, walking silently behind, felt completely different from Ning Feng at this moment.
Ning Feng was completely unaware of the oppressive aura emanating from Xilin, but for the crow, that dazzling spiritual light shone brightly before its eyes without any concealment.
Legends, as awakened beings who transcend the mundane, their very existence represents power.
Every legend possesses their own unique legendary aura, which is both an aura and a representation of their identity.
If they were not deliberately concealed, they could be perceived and distinguished by other legends through these luminous auras.
At this moment, Shirin revealed her hidden strength to the crow.
This is a show of force, or rather, an attitude.
He's one of my men, don't you dare try anything funny.
Although he didn't know why the other party expressed it that way, the other party's silence made it clear.
From an organizational perspective, he doesn't need to fear a fellow Watchman legend, provided he doesn't challenge that legend's dignity.
Every legend, regardless of whether they are on the side of good or evil, is someone who has stood out from countless others and deserves respect.
If he were harmed for unjustly offending a legend unrelated to the matter, even the Inquisition would not stand up for him.
So he had no choice but to lower his head and walk respectfully behind the two men.
I wouldn't call it fear, but there was a heavy feeling in my heart.
He could hardly be called a weakling, and after joining the court, he witnessed many grand scenes.
He had met legends before, and had even followed a large force to destroy the lair of a legendary enemy.
However, he still felt nervous when he actually had to face a legendary figure with unknown intentions alone.
I was just doing a normal task, and I came to ask an ordinary person why this happened.
Before coming to Bincheng, he conducted some routine investigations, but his investigation into the branch manager's information was met with some obstruction.
He was indeed somewhat prepared, but he hadn't expected the other party to actually be a legend.
Moreover, this legend actually openly stated its position.
They weren't exactly hostile, but they were definitely not friendly.
To be honest, the crow was a little confused about the relationship between the two.
Is it a leader-subordinate relationship? It seems so, but the subordinate's attitude is somewhat frivolous and not composed.
The man was qualified to walk alongside that legend; the two seemed like friends, but there was something unnatural about them.
Is it possible that the two people are... a couple?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he decisively cut it off.
……impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
I must be overthinking it.
What kind of connection could exist between a legend and an Awakened being who is only at the first level according to the records?
Judging from their current attitudes, they seem to be closer than they thought.
Ning Feng also noticed the difference at this time. After entering the room this time, the layout of the space was very different from his previous impression.
The modern machines have disappeared, and the entrance to Shirin's boudoir can no longer be found; the entire space has been transformed.
The spacious room did not feel empty; it was filled with floating bookshelves brimming with ancient texts, and on both sides were bottles, jars, and some traditional alchemical equipment.
