Chapter 577: Sticky Candy

"Master." Just at this moment, a voice came over, and Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko emerged from the crowd, arriving at Lingyun's side.

"Have you found your rooms?" Lingyun asked.

"We have already found them." Luo Yexi nodded.

"By the way, it seems Xia Yin has run into some trouble over there," Busujima Saeko said.

"Trouble? What kind of trouble?" Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly.

"It seems she ran into people from the Holy See, and now there is a guy sticking to her just like a piece of sticky candy," Busujima Saeko said.

"The Holy See? So it really is this bunch of annoying guys?" Lingyun muttered. "Given Xia Yin's personality, it's hard for her to deal with this kind of sticky candy. I'd better go take a look!"

"You don't need to worry; the Akame sisters are by her side. If they really don't have eyes and continue to pester her, I don't think Akame and her sister would mind teaching them a good lesson," a mischievous smile appeared on Busujima Saeko's face.

Hearing this, the corners of Lingyun's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He remembered that when Kurome faced sticky candy, her personality wasn't exactly pleasant. If these guys provoked Kurome, they would definitely suffer.

"Big Brother." Just at this moment, another voice came over.

Lingyun turned his head to look, and Yese Xiayin was running toward his direction with a look of surprise on her face, her tone carrying a hint of relief. Behind her were the Akame sisters, looking indifferent.

"Miss Xia Yin!"

Just at this moment, a sentence in not-so-pure Huaxia came over.

Hearing this voice, Yese Xiayin couldn't help but let out a soft cry, then quickly hid behind Lingyun. The Akame sisters on the side also frowned, clearly feeling some aversion toward the owner of this voice.

Lingyun raised his eyes and looked in the direction the voice came from. A blonde man dressed in white robes was walking quickly toward them, his eyes staring fixedly at Yese Xiayin, with undisguised heat in them.

"The Holy See's Holy Light Technique is truly remarkable; it is indeed unique when it comes to treating bruises. Such a big pig's head was healed so quickly!" Kurome said somewhat indistinctly, with a small snack in her mouth.

"You—" Hearing this, a trace of anger couldn't help but rise on the man's face.

"Hmm?" Akame glanced at him coldly.

Under Akame's cold gaze, the man couldn't help but shiver. The scene of this petite girl ravaging him just a moment ago, while he didn't even have the power to fight back, appeared before his eyes once again.

At that time, he had used every means possible and had almost revealed his trump cards, but in front of Akame, he was still like a weak infant, with no power to fight back at all. And this kind of situation, he had only ever seen in his teacher. Could that girl be a powerhouse equal to his teacher? This thought was quickly denied by himself; after all, Akame looked truly too young, and such a possibility was truly too small. The only possibility was that she possessed some kind of unknown treasure on her person that could suppress his power. And such a treasure, in any faction, was extremely precious. Thinking of this, a trace of greed couldn't help but flash in the man's eyes.

"Your Highness the Saintess..." The man looked at Yese Xiayin hiding behind Lingyun, a smile he considered most appropriate appearing on his face.

"I am not the Saintess you speak of!"

It was just a pity that before he could finish his words, Yese Xiayin interrupted him.

Hearing Yese Xiayin's answer, which gave him absolutely no face, a trace of resentment couldn't help but flash across Joseph's face. Although he concealed it quickly, this trace of resentment still did not escape Yese Xiayin's eyes. In this situation, Yese Xiayin was even more certain that the person before her was definitely not a good person.

"I actually didn't know when my little sister became the Saintess in your mouth. Are people from the Holy See always this unreasonable?"

Just when Joseph wanted to say something else, Lingyun spoke unhurriedly. Every word he said was like a heavy hammer striking hard at Joseph's heart. Joseph's face turned pale, his right hand clutched his chest, and he couldn't help but retreat several steps.

"This person..." Joseph's face was pale, feeling as if he had run into an iron plate that could not be touched.

"Your approach is a bit too overbearing, isn't it!" The white-robed person who had previously confronted the Devil warlock appeared quietly behind Joseph, and circles of Holy Light enveloped Joseph.

Under the shroud of the Holy Light, Joseph's complexion gradually became ruddy, but the look he cast at Lingyun still held a trace of undisguised terror.

"Overbearing? You should know that for those who dare to covet the people around me, I usually give them a one-way ticket to Hell for free!" Lingyun looked at the white-robed person coldly. "Since that person beside you wants to see the Saintess so much, I don't mind sending him to your Lord's side so he can see the real Saintess!"

Hearing Lingyun's words, Joseph felt as if his blood were about to freeze. He could hear that the killing intent in Lingyun's words toward him was not fake in the slightest.

"Are you trying to make an enemy of our Holy See?" the white-robed person said through gritted teeth.

"Hee hee hee, little one, if you pay a sufficient price, I can help you hold off this annoying white ghost and let you slaughter that disgusting little brat!"

The Dark Council's Devil warlock appeared at Lingyun's side at some unknown time and spoke gloomily.

"Sorry, I don't think I need outside support!" Lingyun shook his head, and a powerful aura was released from his body, pressing heavily onto the white-robed person.

The moment Lingyun revealed his aura, the pupils of both the Devil warlock and the white-robed person shrank; they both felt a fatal threat from this aura.

"Anyone who has malice toward Master deserves to die!" Kurome stuffed another small snack into her mouth, and wisps of killing intent enveloped the white-robed person.

Akame did not speak, but her own aura also locked onto the white-robed person.

Only now did the white-robed person realize that the two black-haired girls beside Lingyun were actually experts of the same rank as him.

Being stared at by three experts of the same rank, even though the white-robed person was well-versed in storms, cold sweat couldn't help but overflow from his forehead.

The moment Lingyun and the others revealed their auras, the Devil warlock couldn't help but quietly retreat several steps, his gaze toward Lingyun and the others filled with uncertainty. The strength displayed by Lingyun's group was simply too astonishing, leaving him no choice but to be vigilant.

But at the same time, he was also somewhat gloating. In his impression, only those ancient factions that had existed for who knows how long could send out three powerhouses of the same rank as him who were also so young all at once. The Holy See and the Dark Council were mortal enemies; if his mortal enemy ran into such an iron plate, that would be a sight he would be happy to see.

"Teacher..." Joseph looked at the white-robed person, trembling slightly.

"Let's go!" The white-robed person took a deep look at Lingyun's group, then turned and left this place with him.
