Is it different from what I imagined?
Shirin did not answer.
The answer is actually surprisingly simple.
Neither of them actually knew much about the other.
In Xilin's memory, Ning Feng was just a somewhat interesting little guy who had some connection with Jiang Wan.
Even now, after so many veils have been lifted, Ning Feng is still shrouded in mystery.
Despite their apparent weakness, which is easily discernible, it seems to conceal a very deep secret.
Xilin didn't know much about Ning Feng, and vice versa.
Xilin had originally invited Ning Feng and made formal preparations to welcome him, but in reality, she wanted to showcase herself to Ning Feng more.
He revealed to him the side of himself that was different from his usual self, the side that belonged to a legendary powerhouse.
This will make him understand the enormous, almost exaggerated, gap between the two of them.
It wasn't meant to discourage Ning Feng, but rather to stop him from constantly resorting to violence...
You better behave yourself!
Don't keep pushing your luck, or I'll slap you to death.
That's my plan, but how I'll actually do it is another matter entirely.
In short, Shirin made it clear that she wasn't someone to be bullied.
...That's how it should have been.
However, the unexpected arrival of the crow disrupted everything, greatly diminishing the intended effect.
Instead of intimidating Ning Feng, they stepped forward to support him, allowing him to gain an advantage.
Moreover, Shirin actually got one thing wrong.
Sometimes, a huge gap doesn't create a sense of urgency; for some, it can be an encouragement.
It makes them yearn for it.
Moreover, the higher someone's status, the more others feel the urge to bring them down.
Blasphemy, defilement, corruption... topics that get them excited just to talk about.
That's human nature, only more so for men.
At that moment, Ning Feng seized the precious opportunity and stood behind Xilin, gently massaging her shoulders.
He didn't grope or grope her; on the contrary, his technique was very professional and proper, giving off the impression of a serious massage.
The heat emanating from his palms and the aura emanating from his body felt like a tiny hand scratching at Shirin's heart.
"We don't know much about each other, but I will try my best to show you the real me."
Just like I said before.
We need to... get to know each other.
"I know who today's welcoming ceremony was prepared for, and it really impressed me."
Nonsense, you were clearly looking at me the whole time!
Shirin wanted to complain, but she didn't say anything, feeling that saying it would make the atmosphere even stranger.
"I am very grateful for this."
The awe stems from the disparity in power, which inspires longing.
The gratitude stemmed from the unspoken attitude expressed by Shirin.
Some things are acceptable, but they shouldn't be taken to extremes.
This is how Shirin expresses her feelings for the two of them.
If Xilin truly has no interest in Ning Feng, and if everything he did before was meaningless...
She wouldn't care about his feelings at all.
The strong caring about the feelings of the weak is their freedom, not a rule.
The world is a place where the strong disregard the feelings of the weak and act recklessly.
Ning Feng could be severely punished with just the charge of "dereliction of duty," let alone the charge of "offending a legend."
"Moreover, thanks to your reputation, I've saved myself a lot of trouble."
"I lied about the crow's question to me earlier."
!!
Xilin never expected things to turn out this way; Ning Feng actually dared to deceive even the courthouse!
And yet, no flaws have been discovered!?
"you……"
How did you do that?
Do you even know what you're doing?
Her voice became somewhat low, and Shirin unconsciously became a little angry.
It wasn't because Ning Feng lied, but because of the person he lied to.
That's a courtroom!
Even Shirin herself didn't dare to confront the court directly. She had already done her best by using her legendary status to get them to enforce the law gently. She couldn't even directly stop Raven.
And Ning Feng actually dared to lie to the court!?
He is a gambler.
If things are exposed, unless Xilin directly defectes with Ning Feng, she really has no way to protect Ning Feng.
Moreover, what angered Xilin even more was that she knew very well that she was not yet capable of doing that for Ning Feng.
At least for now, Xilin cannot abandon everything for Ning Feng.
But compared to the somewhat angry Xilin, Ning Feng's expression was very relaxed, and he chuckled:
"Don't worry, I'll only tell you about this."
I can't tell Jiang Wan everything, I need to lie to Crow, and I need to conceal the reports from everyone else...
Ning Feng planned to tell Xilin the truth.
Because she had little entanglement with Li Tian, because her strength wouldn't be affected, and because Ning Feng needed someone to listen.
At least, besides Ariana, Ning Feng wanted others to know what he had done.
"It's just a small experiment."
Because of Shirin's statement, the Raven's investigation actually simplified many details.
This includes probing into details, assessing psychological state, and having the person being questioned make a vow, among other things.
