Saint Di Anfu pointed at Ling Feng with trembling fingers and said, "You… you said that I have feelings for you? That I'm secretly in love with you? That I used the excuse of looking for a ribbon to see you?"

"Isn't that the case?" Ling Feng countered, "But I do know it must be embarrassing to have the feelings of a girl with a crush exposed like this, right? Don't worry though, it's just the two of us here, you can freely confess your love for me, I don't mind!"

"Oh, my God!" Saint Di Anfu covered her mouth, looking at Ling Feng somewhat in despair, "I don't know what gave you such a misunderstanding, but one thing I can be sure of is that I will absolutely, definitely not have any feelings for you! I came to you just for the ribbon! If you wish, I can exchange it for something else!"

The Bright Saintess was on the verge of collapse; how could this guy think that she liked him? This was sheer blasphemy to the Divine Spirits!

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes; his previous joking around wasn't simply to flirt with the Bright Saintess!

Ling Feng was well aware of the position the Bright Saintess held within the Papal Court of Light; if the Pope was a symbol of power within the court, then the Saintess was the embodiment of the entire church's faith!

Having said that much, which could be considered blatant flirting, she should have angrily turned and walked away according to the Bright Saintess's status and temperament, right? How could she possibly continue begging him?

"Could it be that there is indeed a secret hidden within that ribbon?" Ling Feng became somewhat undecided in his heart.

If there really was a secret, then all the more he couldn't give it back to the Bright Saintess! In Ling Feng's eyes, whatever belonged to him became his own, let alone a Bright Saintess, even if His Holiness himself were to show up, Ling Feng would not give face!

"Is that ribbon very important to you?" Ling Feng asked again.

The Bright Saintess earnestly said, "Yes, it's very important to me! But don't misunderstand, it's only important to me and has no use to the entire Papal Court of Light at all!"

The Bright Saintess also realized that her insistent demand to retrieve her ribbon might give the impression that there was some unspeakable secret hidden within it.

But what she didn't know was that her own words had only strengthened Ling Feng's resolve not to return it!

"Hey, Uncle, what are you guys doing?" At this moment, a familiar voice laced with surprise came through.

Looking up, Liu Yuwei ran over in her sportswear.

"Yuwei, what are you doing at school now?" Ling Feng was caught off guard; there was still some time before the term started.

"The weather was nice yesterday, so I came to the school to air out my quilts, and I happened to sleep in the dormitory last night!" Liu Yuwei glanced at Saint Di Anfu and teased Ling Feng with a wink, "Uncle, you're not being honest, are you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you already got Senior Sister Liu? Yet now you've started to flirt with a foreign girl! Not bad, not bad, quite the player you are!" Liu Yuwei joked.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "How could I, a patriotic man like your uncle, be swayed by a foreign girl? She just confessed to me, and I righteously rejected her!"

"Ling Feng!" the Bright Saintess fumed, "How can there be such a shameless person in this world? Oh God, send a bolt of lightning to render him paralyzed!"

With a snort, Liu Yuwei covered her mouth and laughed, "Dude, you're way too full of yourself, aren't you? This sister here is a total beauty, she definitely wouldn't be interested in you! Maybe you're the one bothering her!"

Although Saint Di Anfu was wearing the Sacred Veil, her figure belonged distinctly to the curvaceous and devilish Western type.

Having heard what Liu Yuwei said, Saint Di Anfu felt somewhat comforted. There were still good people in this world! Scoundrels like Ling Feng were the minority!

The Bright Saintess turned toward Liu Yuwei, preparing to say something. Suddenly her expression changed, her gaze upon Liu Yuwei tinged with surprise, puzzlement, and shock!

"Okay, I won't bother you folks anymore!" Liu Yuwei waved goodbye, "I've gotta go grab breakfast, see you later, Uncle!"

Liu Yuwei ran off, but the Bright Saintess's gaze intensely followed her, as if Liu Yuwei possessed some mysterious attraction to her!

"Ling Feng, that girl!" When the Bright Saintess turned her head, she found that Ling Feng had vanished and couldn't help but rage, "Shameless Ling Feng, he actually ran away! Hmph, I will definitely get my ribbon back... But before that, I must confirm something!"

Saying this, the Bright Saintess once again turned her gaze in the direction where Liu Yuwei had disappeared, her eyes holding a trace of excitement.

"First there was Lina harboring ulterior motives toward Liu Yuwei, and now there's another Bright Saintess!" Ling Feng, lurking in the shadows, saw the expression on the Bright Saintess's face and wondered, "Does Liu Yuwei have some kind of lesbian aura about her? Hmm, I should make sure she stays away from Ting Yu in the future!"

Meanwhile, the Bright Saintess hurried back to the embassy and summoned Alessandro, speaking earnestly, "Alessandro, I think I've found a lead on the Scepter of Kings!"

"What!" Alessandro's face was filled with shock, and he asked urgently, "Lady Saint, what do you mean? Where did you discover information about the Scepter of Kings?"

The Bright Saintess hesitated for a moment before recounting the morning's events simply. She mentioned casually strolling around Yan University and sensing the aura of the Scepter of Kings on a girl.

"This is marvelous, heaven has shown us mercy! After half a century of searching, we've finally found a lead on the Scepter of Kings again! I think His Holiness will be overjoyed to hear this news!" Emotion reddened Alessandro's eyes.

For the devout followers of the Papal Court of Light, the loss of the Scepter of Kings was a disgrace! Recovering the Scepter of Kings was a duty and obligation the Papal Court of Light could not shirk!

"Although I only sensed a faint trace of the Scepter of Kings on the girl, the scent was very weak. If it weren't for the reaction of the Heart of Light, I might not have even noticed!" said the Bright Saintess, "I was worried about alarming her, so I did not confront the girl."

"Lady Saint, you acted wisely!" With a calmer emotion, Alessandro spoke earnestly, "The Scepter of Kings is of grave importance. We cannot let anyone detect this matter. What are your plans, Lady Saint?"

The Bright Saintess pondered for a moment, "I think it's time I go to Yan University as an exchange student. That seems like a good way to get close to that girl!"

"Exchange student?" Alessandro blinked.

With a sly glint in her eyes, the Bright Saintess teased, "Yeah, don't forget, I'm still a student at Oxford University!"
