More than half a month ago, after quietly returning from the trial, Ning Feng finally ushered in a period of peace.
A scene of peace and tranquility.
There was no sign of the resurgence of the evil god's followers in Bincheng, and all work returned to normal.
The Watchers are absolutely professional when it comes to handling these kinds of situations, going through multiple layers of checks to ensure they don't overlook any potential problems.
No shady characters tried to steal the credit, and no one tried to interfere with or criticize Bincheng.
This incident happened very suddenly. Although it had a significant impact, fortunately, it was eventually resolved without causing any bigger problems.
No one was foolish enough to question it, and everything seemed so harmonious.
But this is actually somewhat unusual.
Overwatch's overall direction is unquestionable and unchangeable, but over time, it has become less of a monolithic entity in some areas.
Because of their geographical location, different branches can easily develop a mindset of acting independently.
Some branches have even publicly stated that they are in competition with each other due to private or official friction.
Logically, such an opportunity to kick someone when they're down should be used by someone to cause trouble.
Why was Bincheng able to weather this crisis so smoothly?
As news spread throughout the Watchers' circle that the Bincheng branch leader was a legendary Awakened, the story gradually came to light.
A low-profile legend, a mysterious legend unknown to anyone.
Only the existence of legends can make all of this make sense.
Legends versus legends, that's why everyone recognizes them.
As for some inexplicable rumors, they naturally dissipated without any evidence.
Sometimes, people are more willing to believe what they think, and they can come up with a perfect reason in their minds even without evidence.
Under the intimidation of a legend, weak branches will not provoke a conflict, and strong branches will not bother to antagonize a legend.
Thus, by such coincidence, Bincheng weathered various storms peacefully, without being drawn into any disputes in China.
Everything seems to have returned to normal...
Yeah, right.
Bincheng returned to normal life, but Ningfeng did not.
The past is gone and can never be returned to.
He has so much to adapt to and do.
The simplest example is the transformation from an ordinary person to an awakened one.
This includes a change in identity, training in the control of power, and learning to restrain the aura emanating from oneself.
Another task is to coordinate the arrangements between different tasks.
It wasn't part of the Watchers' work; he was using the excuse of taking a vacation with Rhoda's squad, as he was also on vacation recently.
Instead, he held another part-time job as a judge in the courtroom.
Rookie Judge —
The Swordsman
Since he's going to join the courthouse anyway, his position doesn't really matter; the adjudicator can actually offer him more help.
Furthermore, when they sent him back, no one mentioned the "Crow" mask that Ning Feng was wearing.
It seems to be an implicit acceptance that he can use that identity as a disguise.
However, although he was ready, he had not received any notification of the mission during this period.
All Ning Feng could do at this moment was to check the coin that represented his identity as the "Sword Bearer" from time to time and wait for the mission to be issued.
However, although Ning Feng has not yet actually begun to perform his duties, some news about him has already been circulating within the court.
[Words of Judgment] Being pulled out is no small matter. Aiger wasn't the only one who noticed the changes in the Hall of the Judges; several other legends also discovered the changes there.
So, when they arrived there, they were all told the following news by Iger, who was waiting there patiently:
"The Words of Judgment have been drawn and are now in the possession of the Arbiter, the Swordholder, a fact acknowledged by the Watchers."
That was all the information available; Egger refused to say anything else.
Aiger: The boss asked me to do things, but you guys aren't any more capable than the boss, and besides... I don't know anything else!
Besides that, there's the cleanup of some remaining issues.
Including but not limited to: returning the pink baton that he had casually taken to its owner, arranging the future life of a certain little mouse with demonic blood, and resolving the relationship with the Chaya Squad...
The second most difficult of all:
How to handle Margaret's bloodline issue.
That day, Ning Feng did not let go of the rare opportunity and extended his wicked little hand to the ascetic red dragon bloodline.
While helping the other person avoid dying from dehydration, Ning Feng also collected a small amount of interest and conducted a small experiment.
Before the other party woke up, he decisively slipped away alone, fearing a confrontation in court.
However, when they met again, the other party did not mention those unspeakable details, but instead expressed gratitude for Ning Feng's rescue.
It's like those hazy memories were just a dream; once you wake up, you remember nothing.
However, although Margaret's attitude was like this on the surface, her relationship with Ning Feng was that of a teammate and a relative—neither too close nor too distant.
But every time Ning Feng turned his head away, he noticed a gaze observing him.
Margaret was suspicious.
She didn't just treat it as a dream; she could perceive that some things were not simply a dream.
But she didn't say it aloud; she just silently searched for evidence.
Ning Feng knew what the other party was thinking.
Margaret was certainly filled with gratitude and anticipation for a faster recovery, but she felt mostly resentment, shame, and a touch of anger.
