Chapter 507: Chapter 222 The Momentum of Offense and Defense is Different_3

Getting married on the spot wasn’t simply because Dragon Blood Girl was lovesick and impulsive; there was another reason.

Her rebellious phase.

The reason Hefei’s teacher took so much interest in cultivating her was not due to a deep mentor-student relationship. There was only one purpose for training Hefei: to become the Holy Maiden, using the status of a student-turned-Holy Maiden to gain more influence at the Church headquarters.

As a tool, Hefei was thrilled; she found a new home and was done playing along.

That new home was with Austin, who was anything but honest.

The mentor-student relationship then hit rock bottom, until today, twenty years later, the teacher thought that after years of Hefei struggling from the ground up to the position of High Priest, she would surely understand the teacher and then become like her, thus initiating the thaw in their relationship.

In a phone call, learning of the exceptional talent of Dragon Blood Girl Veronica, the teacher expressed that she would handle it personally. As long as Veronica didn’t give up at the last minute like Hefei had, everyone would have a bright future.

This is a sure bet!

As for the other genius that Hefei mentioned, since Wayne was male, the teacher subconsciously considered him a candidate for the bodyguard and didn’t take him seriously.

"Teacher, you’re screwing over your own mentor like this, is that really okay?" Wayne said with a confused face; neither he nor Veronica would become the Saint Heir/Maiden. Just like Hefei before them, they would choose to fall in love at the final hurdle.

Knowing this, Hefei still recommended them to her teacher... It turns out that Veronica’s repeated displays of strength could be traced back to Hefei.

And what about Austin’s genes? They’re practically worthless, completely knocked out!

Poor dad.

"The old geezer only saw me as a tool for her own promotion, dreaming of becoming Pope. She’s gone mad, don’t mind her," Hefei said, curling her lips. "Her personality is too extreme; she’s a hawkish figure in the Church, and her becoming Pope would be a disaster for everyone."

Wayne shrugged, thinking of Chris’s foster mother, Doreen, and started to understand Hefei’s feelings. There was affection but not much of it; in fact, after Doreen was locked away, Chris’s smile became more frequent without the pressure.

Of course, it might also be because she was in love, drowning in sweet nothings.

The previous generation’s relationships were too complicated; it wasn’t suitable for the younger generation to be onlookers. Wayne covered his ears, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.

Who are you covering for?

Veronica hurriedly pushed away Wayne, afraid that getting too close would let her mother find out she had kissed him, a moment Hefei witnessed and realized she was redundant.

"I’ll just say two more things, just two, and it’ll be over quickly."

Hefei got straight to the point without wasting words, speedily explaining the situation. She made sure all the necessary arrangements were in place, ensuring that the investigator would treat Wayne and Veronica fairly. All they needed to do was watch out for Flora’s tricks.

"I know, it’s a honey trap!" Veronica raised her hand, casting a cold glance at Wayne.

She was talking about you!

"That’s right, a honey trap is really scary. You might have covered all bases, teacher, but what if Flora, with her clever tactics, seduces the investigator? Remember, she’s the former Holy Maiden; just showing off her legs is enough to maximize her allure," Wayne expressed his concerns.

"What should I do, then? Go show off my legs too?" Hefei rolled her eyes in annoyance. Damn rascal, he’s led her students astray.

There’s no need for that; if you were to show off your legs, the investigative team would be annihilated by the Dark Knights that very night.

The Death Knights might be there too.

This is no thigh, it’s clearly a Knight summoner, see it and be doomed, even more effective than a Goddess’s Divine Decree.

Wayne muttered in his mind and then asked a few questions, indirectly reminding the teacher of the possibility that the enemy might use schemes and tricks.

As expected, Hefei blocked them all.

She swore confidently that she had very high expectations for the integrity of the Knight Order members: "I’ll have someone keep an eye on the investigation team. They won’t mess around to avoid suspicion, and as for the undercover investigation team, don’t worry, the members of the Knight Order are devotedly faithful and won’t tolerate any wrongdoing. If Flora dares to show them her thigh, she’ll find it gets chopped off."

Wayne: With that said, anyone who didn’t know better would think Flora has three legs!

After Hefei gave her instructions, she removed the soundproof barrier and headed to Austin’s study, ready to deal with the disobedient rascal.

Wayne, such a good kid, was led astray!

Although as the family heir, it was inevitable Wayne would eventually be corrupted given Veronica’s lack of talent, if he could turn out like Austin, he would not be at a disadvantage in society, which would be a good thing.

But this was happening too quickly, couldn’t it be more gradual?

Following Hefei out of the study, Veronica headed to the young lady’s villa, noticed that Wayne was following and her heart sank. She bit her lip and walked faster and faster.

When she reached the downstairs, realizing Wayne’s destination was the same as hers, Veronica panicked.

"Bastard, why are you following me?"

"Is that so? Must be a coincidence. I’m going to see my fiancée."

"Wake up, you don’t have a fiancée."

While teasing each other, they suddenly heard a loud noise, glass shattered, and a window frame fell from above as a dark figure flew towards the grove.

"That’s so high!"

"Yeah, our dad’s punch sends them flying high and far."

The two heads looked up at the sky, following the dark silhouette all the way down to the ground, shaking at the same time.

Wayne added his own sound effect sympathetically, making a smacking noise with his mouth.

After the fun, his heart was filled with sorrow. What in the world was going on?

The Dark Knight was sent flying by a punch from the Naturalism Church High Priest, the Death Knight ally was furious but dared not speak out, only able to crack a forced laugh.

"Since when did faith become like this, can it even be redeemed?"

Wayne sighed. He couldn’t handle the Naturalism Church High Priest, he simply couldn’t win. To avenge his ally, he decided to pick on the Naturalism Church High Priest’s daughter.

Such loyalty, the Dark Knight was so lucky to have an ally like this.

Wayne, moved by his own loyalty, hurried after Veronica, one chasing, the other running, soon arriving at the young lady’s villa.

Smack!

Wayne cornered Veronica against the door with a "wall slam," leaned in to sniff the fragrance of her hair, while the Dragon Blood Girl shrank back like a quail, daring not to move.

The potential for attack and defense was different indeed!
