Chapter 8 Trouble Ensued
Cai'er tilted her head slightly, looking at Lin Feng with some confusion.
"Cai'er, you have to tell me something, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to Aunt Ruoshui later."
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.
Cai'er's originally calm face was now as cold as frost.
It's obvious that she's recalling some unpleasant things.
"If you don't want to talk, I won't force you. You should rest for a while today." Lin Feng didn't expect Cai'er to react so strongly.
He realized he had been a bit abrupt. He knew about Cai'er's situation, but he had to go through the motions. Otherwise, if he told Ruoshui that Cai'er was the Holy Maiden of the Assassin's Temple, he wouldn't be able to explain it to her.
After all, who likes to be investigated for no reason?
Since Cai'er was unwilling to talk about it, Lin Feng could only think of other ways. If all else failed, he would ask that old guy Ling Xiao for help.
Just as Lin Feng reached out to take back the paper and pen, Cai'er suddenly picked them up, glanced at Lin Feng, and slowly wrote a line on the paper.
"I am the Holy Maiden of the Assassin's Temple. If my presence causes you any trouble... I will leave..."
This is also why Cai'er is unwilling to test her spiritual power. She understands that once her talent is exposed, her identity will definitely not be able to be hidden either.
To be honest, after spending these past few days together, Cai'er has gradually gotten used to being by Lin Feng's side.
She didn't want to go back to that pitch-black place where there was no one to talk to.
Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Cai'er's last few crooked words.
He could sense Cai'er's feelings when she wrote those words.
Seeing Cai'er staring intently at him, waiting for an answer, Lin Feng subconsciously reached out and patted her head, a smile playing on his lips.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't want to leave, no one can take you away. You should rest well first, Aunt Ruoshui should be back soon."
After saying that, Lin Feng withdrew his hand and left the room.
He originally intended for Cai'er to confide in him, so that it would be easier for him to handle things later. However, Cai'er's experience in the Assassin's Temple far exceeded his expectations, and just a few words caused such a great emotional fluctuation in Cai'er.
As for letting Cai'er leave, that's impossible. We've finally found someone suitable for Thirteen Heroes.
Cai'er stared blankly at Lin Feng's departing figure, her reaction far more domineering than she had imagined.
But for some reason, she didn't dislike it.
What made her feel a little embarrassed was that, for some reason, Lin Feng always treated her like a child, touching her head all the time.
……
Not long after leaving the study, Ruoshui returned and pulled Lin Feng directly into the bedroom.
After a while.
There was a loud bang!
The sound of what appeared to be a table collapsing came from the bedroom.
Long Haochen and the others in the living room all turned to look at the bedroom where Ruoshui and Lin Feng were.
Cai'er, standing to the side, gripped the hem of her clothes nervously with both hands. Her usually delicate face was now pale. She knew that it was most likely because of her.
Inside the room, Ruoshui realized she had lost her composure.
With a wave of his hand, a golden barrier enveloped the two of them.
Ruoshui tried to compose herself and said, "You brat, are you asking for a beating? You even managed to bring back the Holy Maiden of the Assassin's Temple?"
Do you even realize the enormity of the mess you've made?
Seeing Ruoshui so angry, Lin Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself, "So what? I even managed to abduct the Demon God Emperor's daughter."
Of course, Lin Feng wouldn't dare say that. He coughed twice and explained, "Aunt Ruoshui, I didn't know she was the Holy Maiden of the Assassin's Temple before. Besides, she was a girl being attacked by demons in the wild. How could I not take action...?"
"And another thing, leaving her alone in the forest would be too dangerous..."
"Hmph, as expected, the people from the Assassin's Temple are already on their way. I'll arrange for someone to send her back tomorrow." Ruoshui remained unmoved by Lin Feng's explanation.
But Lin Feng disagreed and decisively retorted, "No, I promised Cai'er that no one can take her away unless she wants to leave!"
"Oh?"
Ruoshui stood up and grabbed Lin Feng's ear, laughing angrily, "You've really grown some guts, haven't you? Not only do you dare to run around alone, but now you even dare to make promises so casually?"
Ruoshui was furious. She hadn't expected that taking Lin Feng out for a short trip would cause him so much trouble.
Her chest heaving with anger, she said, "Do you even know how important the Holy Son and Holy Daughter are to a Holy Temple? You've abducted her! The Assassin Temple is probably in complete chaos right now. If that old bastard Sheng Yue finds out you're the one who kidnapped Cai'er, he'll tear you apart!"
"Furthermore, Cai'er is a saint, exceptionally talented. Who in my priestly temple could possibly teach her?"
"Aren't you being ridiculous? A year is enough to ruin her reputation as a genius. You're not helping her, you're harming her!"
"Who said no one can teach? I've already found a good teacher for Cai'er!" Lin Feng broke free from Ruoshui's embrace and retorted directly.
Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "Fine, you can do it. Then you can go and discuss it with Shengyue yourself tomorrow and see if that old guy will agree."
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, he's a ninth-tier Saint Moon Swordsman Assassin."
Ruoshui's original intention was to let Lin Feng know that Sheng Cai'er could not stay. After all, even she would have to be polite to a ninth-level assassin who came to visit, let alone Lin Feng.
To her surprise, Lin Feng not only showed no remorse, but also retorted.
"I understand I will persuade Elder Cai'er and won't make things difficult for the pastor's temple." After saying that, Lin Feng left the room without looking back.
Watching Lin Feng leave, Ruoshui waved her hand and removed the soundproof barrier, rubbing her forehead wearily.
"You brat, the older you get, the more trouble you cause."
"Forget it, I'd better go and discuss it with Old Man Ling. If he doesn't show up, that old guy Sheng Yue will be really hard to handle if he goes berserk."
……
Lin Feng had just stepped out of the room.
Long Haochen, Bai Yue, and Cai'er's eyes fell on Lin Feng.
Ruoshui followed closely behind, glared at Lin Feng, and then looked at Bai Yue and said, "Yue'er, I'm going out for a bit. Please keep an eye on things at home for me and don't let this brat mess things up."
"Don't worry," Bai Yue nodded.
After Ruoshui left, Cai'er looked at Lin Feng's earlobe, which was slightly red from being pulled, and felt a little guilty. She walked up to Lin Feng and wrote in his palm, "Did Aunt Ruoshui hit you...?"
Faced with Cai'er's concern, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Nothing like that, she wouldn't bear to hit me."
I know Ruoshui Lin Feng quite well; he has a sharp tongue but a kind heart.
