Monarch of Evernight - Chapter 897

Chapter 8-897: Volume 8 - Chapter 897: Explanation

The Thunderfrost Temple was by no means a major power in the neutral lands, but no one could ignore its existence . The main reason was that the temple’s inheritance was special, producing a divine champion in every generation—and two in this one . A divine champion was a divine champion, no matter how weak . Hence, Luo Bingfeng wouldn’t break off courtesies without clarifying the situation, no matter how arrogant he was .

As someone who cultivated the power of lightning and thunder, Caroline was straightforward . “I heard you’ve captured a person called Song Zining, I hope you can hand him to me . I’ll meet your demands as much as possible . ”

“Song Zining, again . ” A faint radiance appeared in Luo Bingfeng’s eyes, causing all objects in the room to become somewhat warped and distorted . Even the whip-box was starting to see sparks all over its surface, a reaction from the weapon inside .

It was only natural that he would be angry . Tidehark had been turned upside down these days, with grave casualties among the city guard and its generals . Although Yu Mingkang was alive, his will had been damaged and with it, his future prospects .

The root of all this was Song Zining . Now that Caroline was visiting for Song Zining as well, how could he not get angry?

Caroline sat unmoving, allowing Luo Bingfeng’s killing intent to land on her body .

The mysterious lady appeared in the guestroom at this moment . A gentle power showered down like spring rain and nullified the killing intent in the room .

She sat down beside Luo Bingfeng and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry . Bingfeng has been in a bad mood these days . I hope Your Excellency Caroline will forgive his lack of manners . I am curious, though . What is your relationship with Song Zining that you would travel thousands of kilometers to this place?”

Luo Bingfeng kept his silence as he gazed at Caroline with a trace of murderous intent .

Caroline wasn’t his match, to begin with, and that was especially true now that she was in the city .

Caroline knew this question was key . “Actually, I didn’t come here for Song Zining, I came for Qianye . But Qianye won’t leave if you don’t release Song Zining, so I want to know what it’ll take for you to release him . ”

Luo Bingfeng seemed like he was about to act up, but the lady calmed him down by patting his hand . “Your Excellency Caroline, what is your relationship with Qianye that you would put in so much effort?”

Caroline replied frankly, “I have an agreement with him . It’s related to a life-long dream of my family, but I think I’ll not discuss this with you . ”

The woman nodded . “Releasing Song Zining is not in our power . If you want him to leave, have Qianye come and discuss things with us . He’s done so much damage, so he needs to give us an explanation . ”

Caroline’s brows knitted into a frown . “That means City Lord and Madam refuse to negotiate?”

The woman smiled gently . “This matter isn’t impossible to negotiate, but we need Qianye to talk to us . As for the terms, perhaps we’ll think of something when we see him . ”

Caroline’s expression sank . “Since that’s the case, I’ll make things clear . If Qianye dies in your hands, then Tidehark will be my enemy henceforth! I might not be your match, but you can’t leave the city, either . So, everyone in the city better be careful when they leave . ”

Luo Bingfeng slapped the armrest of his chair and said in a cold voice, “Humph! How bold! If not out of consideration for your personal visit, I could kill you right away!”

Caroline seemed entirely unafraid . “If you kill me, my brother will naturally seek revenge . Then, we’ll see who in Tidehark apart from you will survive . Even the madam might not get away unscathed . ”

The woman sighed lightly . She said while holding Luo Bingfeng’s hand, “Bingfeng, she came with sincerity, why the need for this? Besides, this matter happened because some people made decisions on their own . Why would you need to help them shoulder this burden?”

“But…”

“No buts, you go back to the courtyard, I’ll come in a while . ”

Luo Bingfeng nodded and left after shooting Caroline a glance . Only the two ladies were left behind in the conference hall .

The lady gazed calmly at Caroline . She was neither angry nor apprehensive, but Caroline actually felt less confident under her gaze .

“Your Excellency, your determination is really great . ” Caroline felt her heart skip a beat, suddenly afraid of what the other party would say next .

Fortunately, the lady only revealed a meaningful smile and didn’t keep on speaking . “We understand your intentions now, but how to handle this matter isn’t our decision alone . I’ll discuss this with Bingfeng and perhaps put forth some conditions soon . ”

Caroline hadn’t expected the conversation to go so smoothly . “Then, I’ll take my leave first and await your decision . ”

The lady rose to send off her guest, asking intentionally or otherwise, “Is the Song clan here?”

“Song clan?” Caroline was startled . “I don’t know, I have no contact with them . ”

“Oh, all is well then . ” The lady followed Caroline out of the residence doors and only turned back after she had left .

Luo Bingfeng was currently seated in his study, frowning and deep in thought . Luo Yun was standing by his side, waiting silently for his command .

The woman witnessed this scene as she walked in . “I’ve sent her off . It seems she’s unrelated to the Song clan, she only came for Qianye . ”

Luo Bingfeng snorted . “This matter is going completely out of hand . Tidehark’s face will be lost completely if we don’t deal with it . A mere Caroline isn’t enough to move me . ”

The lady smiled . “Don’t forget about that brother of hers . ”

Luo Bingfeng said coldly, “He might not be my match, either . ”

The lady said with a sigh, “You’ve been in isolation for so many years, yet you still can’t get rid of your competitive nature . As I see it, her demands aren’t high, and she’s just worried we’ll kill Qianye . She won’t make an enemy of us as long as the boy isn’t killed or crippled . ”

Luo Bingfeng said coldly, “Blades and spears have no eyes . So what if he’s killed or crippled?”

The lady rolled her eyes . “You’ve been an important character for so long and speak as if things are so easy . If you and I don’t attack, which one of your subordinates can hurt him? All they can do is get beaten up . He even managed to escape from you just because of a small delay . ”

Luo Bingfeng remained silent for a short while . “This child’s talents are indeed rare, one of the best I’ve seen in my life . But it’s pure insolence if he thinks he can escape a second time!”

“You, must you compete even with a junior? Enough, it’s dragged on too long, we should go back now . Just leave matters here to them, okay?”

Luo Bingfeng didn’t respond . He stood up in delight and said to Luo Yun, “I’ll leave that matter to you, use the thing I gave you . ”

Luo Yun affirmed the order and left .

“What’s the matter? So mysterious,” the woman asked .

“Just a small matter, not worth a mention . ”

Seeing that Luo Bingfeng wasn’t willing to divulge, the lady decided not to keep asking .

At this moment, Ji Tianqing was running through the vast mountains with Qianye on her back, stopping only after dashing into a beautiful valley .

She threw Qianye onto the ground and rushed to the nearby creek for a drink . Only afterward did she heave a long sigh and lay flat on the ground . “Ah, I’m exhausted!”

Qianye clambered up with a wry smile . “I didn’t have it easy, either . ”

Ji Tianqing glared at him . “You only played a supporting role, what are you complaining about?”
