The Almighty Ring

er?” Hua Mulan walked over to Jiang Fei as she spoke.
When she was kicking Bernard’s ass, she had noticed Jiang Fei flirting around with the assassin from the Church of Saints of the Religious Judicatory.

“Eh…” Jiang Fei was flabbergasted and suddenly did not know how to explain himself.
In all honesty, he did not think he would bump into Sylphy here.
After all, Sylphy was his spy in the Light Faction.
If he were to be exposed right then, it would be a shame.

“He saved my life before.
He was the one who helped me complete my quest to become a deacon!” Sylphy said proactively.

“Ah?” Hua Mulan stared at Jiang Fei in surprise.

Outsiders did not know the exact situation.
However, anyone with authoritative power knew clearly that Sylphy had been able to become a deacon in the Religious Judicatory at such a young age because of her accomplishment in killing the Nephilim race’s Fourth Prince.

If Jiang Fei was able to help assassinate the Nephilim race’s Fourth Prince, that meant he was even more loyal to the Luminous Vatican than normal Luminous disciples.

“Ding! Your Reputation from Hua Mulan has increased by 1,000 points!”

“D*mn it!” Jiang Fei had earned more Reputation points for no apparent reason.
He did a quick check and realized that Hua Mulan was 100 Reputation points away from entering the Worship state toward himself.
If that were to happen, Jiang Fei dared not imagine how Isabella would react.

Although Jiang Fei felt very troubled by the issue of Reputation, he was at least able to explain the relationship between himself and Sylphy.
Moreover, after what Sylphy said, even Bernard’s status toward Jiang Fei had changed from the Hostile State to the Indifferent State.

According to what Sylphy had originally said, Jiang Fei should have been able to achieve the Friendly State with Bernard.
However, as a front-line commander, Bernard had experienced too many a loss of his brethren in the hands of Nephilims.
Therefore, Jiang Fei’s Nephilim status made him feel intrinsically annoyed at Jiang Fei.

“Master Inquisitor, what should we do next?” Since Jiang Fei’s status was no longer an issue, Hua Mulan decided to let Jiang Fei call the shots.
After all, now that Sylphy had shown up, Hua Mulan would be powerless if they insisted on bringing the peasants back to the front-line despite her success in beating Bernard up.

“We are merely following the Saint’s orders, hence…” Before Jiang Fei could finish his sentence, Sylphy cut him off.

“Don’t worry about it.
We were just passing through.
Carry on!” Sylphy smiled sweetly at Jiang Fei.

“Eh… This…” Bernard’s jaw dropped.
However, he did not dare to speak despite his unease.
The way things were unfolding was not what he and Sylphy had agreed on before.

Since Sylphy had already decided to let them go, what more could he say? If he insisted on standing in their way, he might take another beating from Hua Mulan.

“I have something else to sort out and need to leave now.
Don’t forget about the jade plate…” Sylphy looked longingly at Jiang Fei as she spoke.
Jiang Fei was the only person who heard her final sentence.

“Eh…” Before Jiang Fei could reply, Sylphy turned into a pillar of light and disappeared into the sky.

“Let’s go!” Sylphy had already left.
There was nothing left for Bernard to say.
After half a day’s of toiling, all Bernard had accomplished was getting beaten up by Hua Mulan.
One could only imagine the state of grievance Bernard must have felt in his heart.

“Let us leave as well!” Jiang Fei said to Hua Mulan.
He too wished to complete his quest as soon as possible.

“Alright!” Hua Mulan nodded as she reorganized her subordinates to bring the refugees toward the inlands.

Thereafter, Jiang Fei and the rest did not encounter any obstacle in their journey.
They were able to make it through all blockades without any resistance.
After all, the Saint’s decree was still very effective before the lower-ranked military commanders.

“Alright, this is far enough away from the borders.
The refugees should be safe here!” Hua Mulan said to Jiang Fei after seven more hours of traveling.

“Ding! Quest completed!”

Right then, Jiang Fei also received a quest notification.
All he needed to do now was to return to the Saint to complete his quest.
