Tang Yuehua forcibly avoided Nan Feng's scorching and aggressive gaze, tilted her head to one side, and tried hard to keep her voice steady, although the slightly trembling ending still betrayed her inner panic:
"Excuse me, His Holiness the Pope, please take care of me... Yuehua, you are very good."
"Very good?"
Nan Feng raised his eyebrows, looking at the woman in his arms who was obviously scared to death but still stubborn, the smile on her lips became deeper, and the playfulness in her eyes became more intense.
"Since it's so good, why are you afraid of me?"
Nan Feng's fingers gently brushed Tang Yuehua's slender and white neck, causing her to tremble uncontrollably:
"Now Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall are a family, and your eldest brother Tang Xiao is ranked Elder Hall, with a respected status. Now Clear Sky Sect, backed by the big tree Spirit Hall, is much more beautiful than the days when it was oppressed by Qian Xunji."
"What's wrong with this? Isn't this something that everyone is happy with?"
Tang Yuehua closed his eyes tightly and ignored Nan Feng. He just stubbornly turned his head further away, as if as long as he didn't look at him, the feeling of fear looming over his back would be lessened.
Seeing this, the smile in Nan Feng's eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a heart-stopping depth.
"You don't speak..."
Nan Feng leaned close to her ear, her voice suddenly lowered, with a hint of dangerous temptation:
"Could it be that...Clear Sky Sect did something shameful behind my back again?"
"For example... secretly colluding with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? Or colluding with that old fox Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to make some big move?"
Tang Yuehua's face instantly turned pale, he opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head and stared at Nan Feng, "No... no! Absolutely not! His Holiness the Pope You misunderstood! Clear Sky Sect is now on the right track and has no second thoughts!"
"Oh? Really?"
Nan Feng looked at her panicked look and didn't give up there. Instead, he pressed forward step by step:
"Since the family is well, since there is nothing shameful."
"Then why are you so afraid?"
Nan Feng's fingers gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look directly into his eyes:
"There is nothing wrong with you, why are you trembling?"
"Mrs. Yue, think carefully about how to answer me."
"If the answer is wrong, it might make me think you are lying..."
Nan Feng squinted his eyes, a frightening cold light flashing in those purple eyes:
"Then maybe I really need to take a closer look at what's going on with the Clear Sky Sect now."
"..."
Tang Yuehua's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
She knew that the devil in front of her in the skin of a beauty would definitely do what she said!
As long as she says one wrong thing, the whole Clear Sky Sect may face disaster tomorrow!
She took a deep breath, dug her nails deeply into her palms, and used the stinging pain to calm herself down.
"I... I just..."
Tang Yuehua gritted his teeth, a glint of humiliation flashed in his eyes:
"I just haven't seen His Holiness the Pope for a long time, and I was a little excited for a while... In addition, your majesty is too majestic, and Yuehua, as a mortal, will inevitably be a little out of character... That's all."
"Oh?"
Nan Feng raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, opened his mouth, gently bit her red earlobe, and asked vaguely:
"Really?"
"Really just... excited?"
The moist, hot, numb and slightly tingling feeling made Tang Yuehua so ashamed and angry that her whole body fell into Nan Feng's arms. But for the safety of the sect, she could only endure the humiliation and responded with a trembling voice:
"Yes... yes... really..."
"Alas..."
Hearing this unintentional answer, Nan Feng sighed a little boredly, released the hand that restrained her waist, took a step back, and distanced the two of them.
"It's really boring."
Nan Feng looked at Tang Yuehua who was arranging his clothes in a hurry with a face of shame and anger, and shook his head helplessly:
"Mrs. Yue, I'm just joking with you. Why do you think I'm forcing a girl into prostitution?"
Tang Yuehua heard this and suddenly raised his head, his beautiful eyes full of shame and anger, glaring at him fiercely.
Are you kidding?
Do you call this kind of behavior of forcing people into a corner, threatening the lives of the entire sect, and even using hands and feet a joke?!
I can't laugh at all!
"Don't look at me like that."
Nan Feng shrugged, looking innocent:
"I'm really not interested in that kind of forced stuff at all. I even find it disgusting."
"I just want to make friends with Mrs. Yue, sincerely. This was true three years ago, and it is true now."
Nan Feng spread his hands, looked at Tang Yuehua, and his tone became a little more serious:
"Besides, is there anything I haven't done that I promised you?"
"I said to protect Clear Sky Sect, Clear Sky Sect is fine now, right? I said to make your life better than before, you don't have to hide in the ravines now, right?"
"I even helped you avenge yourself, right?"
"Qian Xunji is the culprit who forced you to have a home and was unable to return, and forced your second brother to have his wife and children separated."
"Not only did I help Clear Sky Sect redress, I even stepped that guy into the mud, making the whole world reviled him and nailing him to the pillar of shame."
Nan Feng pointed at himself, with a confident look on his face:
"I have done so much, can I say that I have exhausted all my benevolence and righteousness? Why do you still treat me as a scourge?"
"Am I so unpopular?"
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, tried hard to calm his heaving chest, looked at the guy in front of him who was full of nonsense, and said coldly:
"His Holiness the Pope is joking."
"Yuehua has nothing but respect for you... and doesn't dare to show any slights."
Are you kidding me?
Who couldn't see that the so-called "rehabilitation" back then was a way for Bibi Dong to use external forces to forcibly gain power over Spirit Hall and purge its dissidents?
He talks nicely, for the sake of justice in the world, and for justice to the Clear Sky Sect.
In reality?
Who knows what this crazy woman is thinking? Who knows if one day they will become the next target of being purged?
Want to be friends with a lunatic like this who plays with people's hearts and turns his hands into clouds and rain?
Unless her Tang Yuehua brain is broken too!
Seeing Tang Yuehua looking like she was facing a powerful enemy, her whole body tense as if she was ready to die heroically at any moment, Nan Feng didn't bother to tease her anymore.
He casually pulled up a chair and sat down, and even poured himself a cup of tea, his tone becoming lazy and casual:
"Okay, don't scare yourself there."
"I came out this time simply because I was too bored in Spirit City and wanted to get some fresh air and take a walk."
"Don't be so nervous. I'm not here to cause trouble, and I don't intend to dismantle your Moonlight Pavilion."
After hearing this, Tang Yuehua's tense shoulders did not relax completely, but the panic in her eyes receded a little. She looked at Nan Feng suspiciously, obviously expressing deep doubts about the "leisure and elegance" of this His Holiness the Pope.
"But..."
Nan Feng took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and looked at Tang Yuehua:
"Now that I'm here, I really have a small favor, and I need Mrs. Yue's help."
Tang Yuehua felt nervous and asked warily, "What's the matter?"
"I want to meet Xue Ye."
Nan Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "I want to talk to that old guy alone. If it is a public formal meeting, it will be too troublesome, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that nosy Ning Fengzhi will definitely be present."
"I don't want any third party to disturb me."
Nan Feng raised his eyelids and looked at Tang Yuehua with a half-smile:
"I heard that Mrs. Yue is good at musical instruments, and she is Heaven Dou Imperial Family's guest. She has a close personal relationship with Xue Ye? I guess it won't be difficult for you to quietly invite that old guy out, or arrange for me to sneak in to see him, right?"
Tang Yuehua frowned, not paying attention to the ridicule in Nan Feng's words about her relationship with Xue Ye. At this moment, her mind was filled with Nan Feng's dangerous request.
Meeting alone? Avoid Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
"What do you want to do?"
Tang Yuehua stared at Nan Feng, his voice trembling slightly, with a bit of horrified speculation:
"Could it be that... you want to assassinate His Majesty?!"
"Ha?!"
Nan Feng, who was drinking tea, almost choked to death. He put down the teacup with a confused look on his face and looked at Tang Yuehua like a fool.
Has this woman's brain circuit been smashed by Clear Sky Hammer?
Assassination?
"Mrs. Yue, if you don't use your brain, you can donate it to those in need."
Nan Feng rolled his eyes, with a speechless and absurd look on his face:
"Assassinate Xue Ye? What good will it do me if I kill that old guy now?"
"If the emperor dies suddenly and no clear heir apparent is established, the whole Heaven Dou Empire will turn into chaos in an instant! Those big nobles with different ideas will take the opportunity to support themselves, and the royal family members will fight to death for the throne."
"Not to mention that there is Star Luo Empire who is eyeing him, as well as those kingdoms and principalities that have always wanted to become independent."
Nan Feng spread his hands and analyzed as if giving a lecture to primary school students:
"When the time comes, due to internal and external troubles, Heaven Dou Empire will surely perish. Star Luo Empire's army will march in and annex Heaven Dou Empire."
"What's in it for me?"
"Is it possible that I have worked so hard just to help Star Luo Empire win the world?"
"Moreover, once Star Luo Empire really destroys Heaven Dou Empire and establishes a unified and powerful empire. Do you think that new empire will allow an organization like Spirit Hall with independent armed forces and even above the imperial power to continue to exist?"
"Obviously impossible?"
Nan Feng sneered, leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, "Besides, I'm not that mean."
"It's you Clear Sky Sect..."
"You've always been close to the Star Luo Imperial Family, right? Who doesn't know what your plans are?"
"Isn't it because Star Luo Empire has stronger national power and stronger folk customs, and thinks that they have a greater chance of winning the world in the future, so you want to take sides in advance and bet on both sides?"
"If a war really breaks out between the two empires in the future, I think you Clear Sky Sect will be able to help Star Luo Empire charge into the battle and make contributions if you turn around, right?"
