“Our relationship isn’t that formal. At least you’re not a branch manager now, and I’m just an ordinary Watcher.”
Looking intently at Rhodes, Ning Feng's expression remained calm, his eyes seemingly devoid of any emotion.
He gently picked up the unconscious Jiang Wan, as if taking away a child who had been playing all day at an amusement park and had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Guh.
He swallowed hard, looking at the seemingly gentle man in front of him, but he really couldn't calm down.
The other person had left such a deep impression on him that he simply couldn't believe they could be so calm.
I don't believe it!
Once Rod started thinking this way, he noticed a lot of details and became increasingly uncomfortable with them.
It's true, the other party isn't as calm as they seem on the surface.
"I……"
Rhodes really wanted to explain that he really hadn't done anything.
I had already tried my best to back down, I didn't even retaliate, until Jiang Wan really fought to the death...
"I know."
But Ning Feng still wouldn't let him say anything, cutting him off directly:
"I'll say it again, I really didn't mean to be angry with you, you did the right thing."
I don't believe it!
Regardless of whether Rhodes believed it or not, Ning Feng maintained his tone and said calmly:
"However, you may have overlooked one thing."
Ning Feng glanced at Jiang Wan's furrowed brows, which were slightly furrowed even in her sleep, and knew that she hadn't had her fill of the battle just now.
“Jiang Wan and you were sparring, I’ll call your fight just now for now, but you were only on the defensive, which is actually a kind of… contempt.”
“Since she has chosen to fight you, she will not be afraid of bloodshed and pain. She is seeking an opponent, not a high and mighty sparring partner.”
"Furthermore, if you choose to place yourself in that position, then I can only tell you very directly..."
Ning Feng shook his head at Rhodes and said with a hint of pity:
"You are not qualified."
Rhodes frowned, instinctively wanting to retort, but he didn't utter a word after seeing Ning Feng's cold eyes.
If we refute them now, the other party might use it as an excuse to make trouble!
We can't give him that chance.
Ning Feng glanced strangely at Rhodes, who had come to an abrupt halt at the edge of the cliff, then shook his head with some regret and said:
"You don't need to be upset. I'll just say two things and you'll understand where you went wrong."
"First of all, although Jiang Wan was born in Bincheng, she is not currently a member of the Bincheng Watchers Association."
"Secondly, Jiang Wan and your former branch manager were good friends."
Friends!?
Luo Detong's eyes narrowed as he looked at the unconscious Jiang Wan, wondering how she had become friends with the former minister.
How did two people with such a large difference in ability become friends?
Having understood Rhodes's thoughts, Ning Feng shook his head and said easily:
"nothing is impossible."
"You need to figure out one thing: what is a Watcher?"
Saying similar things to Jiang Wan, Ning Feng nodded slightly to the dazed middle-aged man:
“We came together because of similar beliefs. We may have different strengths, but we don’t have the same beliefs, so why can’t we be friends?”
Luo Deming hadn't done anything wrong, but faced with Ning Feng's imposing aura, he couldn't help but feel somewhat intimidated and began to wonder if he had really made a mistake.
Am I wrong?
Is this kind of thing very common in the Watchers?
No way!
Was I really wrong?
Ning Feng smiled as he looked at the bewildered Luo De, then turned to look at Yan Rulong, who had stood up from his seat. He gave him a deep look and nodded calmly.
Turning back, Ning Feng nodded to Rhodes, who had fallen silent after his rebuke, and said:
"I reiterate, I don't blame you. Such battles are unavoidable in daily training."
"...She is now in a deep sleep, and has so many parts of her body that need treatment, so I will take her away first."
Goodbye.
Without even glancing at Yan Rulong, Ning Feng carried Jiang Wan and headed towards the door.
As he was seen off by Luo De and Yan Rulong, he paused for a moment as he passed the doorway. Ning Feng turned his head and suddenly smiled:
"By the way, another thing to mention, this is the Watchers. Strictly speaking, only legends are qualified to be called high-ranking members. You must remember that."
After saying this, Ning Feng turned around, picked up Jiang Wan, and disappeared through the door.
Rhodes was left alone in the place, silent and lost.
...
...
Ning Feng paused at the door after walking out of the arena, then carried Jiang Wan and strode towards Xilin's office.
The black cat peeked out like a ghost, then suddenly asked:
Don't you really think it's his problem?
After asking the question, she stared intently at Ning Feng, trying to glean some details from his first reaction.
Then, Ariana was not disappointed.
Without the watchful eyes of others, Ning Feng didn't even bother to hide his true feelings and spoke directly:
"How could that be?"
Seeing Jiang Wan's appearance, how could Ning Feng not have any reaction at all?
If that's really the case, can he still be considered a man?
If that day ever comes, it will simply be a machine that automatically weighs the pros and cons.
"It's just a verbal excuse, a reason that's somewhat plausible. We can't let others think we're unreasonable, can we?"
I'm a good person, right?
"However, since he will be taking on this position in the future, I think he must be a well-rounded talent."
