Chapter 319 - 74 Submission
Jin Fu had his dinner and leisurely made his way to his lover’s residence. Their tryst hadn’t lasted long when a knock sounded on the grand entrance.
"Who is it?" Jin Fu frowned slightly. This was the place for his secret rendezvous with his lover, scarcely known to anyone. Even if someone purposefully probed his affairs, they wouldn’t disregard his dignity to such a degree—to catch him in flagrante delicto?
"Lowly Tai Hongyun, by the command of the esteemed Qing Ling, I request the presence of the bishop for a conversation."
"Tai Hongyun?" Jin Fu opened the door. That name had once shone brightly in the Holy Court, but ultimately, due to his unruly character and targeted by others, he was relegated to the nominal Fourth Trial Knight Guard.
Jin Fu was acquainted with the name Qing Ling; having recently spent a considerable time within her plane, he should recognize its master.
"You seem much more obedient now, Tai Hongyun," Jin Fu commented as he gazed down at Tai Hongyun, who knelt on one knee. "Have you come here to threaten me?"
"I dare not," Tai Hongyun replied. "I am merely striving to fulfill a task assigned by the esteemed Qing Ling. Please, bishop, accompany me."
"I will not." Jin Fu sneered coldly. "Who does she think she is? I’ve just presented my report yesterday. What now, she wants to start an investigation on me?"
"I am unaware. We can only execute the tasks that our superiors command."
"Then go back and tell Qing Ling if she wishes to see me, she can come herself. Perhaps I’ll consider meeting her."
