Chapitre 139: Discussion with Hong Meilin

The day following the incident involving Kang Huian and Han Xifeng, a most unexpected visitor arrived at Wang Jian's palace - the esteemed Saintess of the Church of Divine Light, Hong Meilin.

Although taken aback, Wang Jian granted her and her entourage entry into his palace.

They were escorted to the main hall, where Wang Jian was already seated on his imposing throne, perched atop a raised platform.

Hong Meilin and her companions took their seats on chairs positioned below.

A respectful bow accompanied by the sound of rustling robes interrupted the silence of the hall. Priest Pan, one of the teachers in the church, stood up and addressed Wang Jian with a formal tone.

"Your Highness," he began, "the Church of Divine Light humbly offers gifts as a gesture of seeking your forgiveness regarding the matter with Ye Chen."
