Seeing that Nie Xuanfeng's anger had subsided and the atmosphere had relaxed, Chen Sheng joked, "Governor, what if I... really have what it takes to pluck this thorny flower?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Xuanfeng scoffed and looked Chen Sheng up and down.
"If you can truly make that Sun Yuzhi give you her heart and body, then from now on, I'll have no problem calling you 'sir' whenever I see you."
Clearly, Nie Xuanfeng only dared to say this because he didn't believe Chen Sheng had it in him. Never mind that Sun Siniang was no easy mark—the vast gap in their cultivation levels alone was an insurmountable chasm.
"Then I'll take you at your word," Chen Sheng laughed, and the atmosphere instantly lightened.
"Be my guest."
Nie Xuanfeng smiled faintly as well, but his expression quickly turned serious.
"Alright, jokes aside. I summoned you for another important matter."
"Please enlighten me, Governor." Chen Sheng's smile vanished, his expression turning serious.
