Chapter 1368: Any Place You Want to Go?
"Lin Feng, do you still remember the time when you first came to school?"
"Of course I remember."
"Back then, you suddenly took out a piece of paper saying I was your fiancé, and I was completely stunned at that moment!"
"In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed."
"Yeah!"
"You used to say you could do everything from astronomy and geography to music, chess, and calligraphy. At that time, I thought you were a fraud!"
"What I said back then was true, it’s just that you didn’t believe it."
"Lanlan, did you and Lin Feng have any interesting experiences in the Hidden World?"
"Not really, just ordinary stuff."
...
The four walked and chatted about past events, lamenting how quickly time had passed. But thinking back to what happened, it was really interesting. Even Xia Lalan, who was walking with Lin Feng, Ding Wan’er, and Leng Mei for the first time, couldn’t stop smiling. From Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei’s words, she felt another side of Lin Feng...
...
Shennan City, Huaxia.
Chu Meng sat alone on the top floor of a building, organizing related matters with some subordinates. This time she came to Shennan City partly to see how the group’s operations were going, and partly to attend a financial summit as the Sect Leader of Cloud Fund. She was already a global financial tycoon, so it was impossible for her not to participate in such a financial summit.
But just as she was in a meeting, her private phone suddenly rang, causing her to frown. When she took out the phone and saw the number, her face immediately changed because it was the number of the person she had placed beside Lin Feng’s father, Lin Yiwen. A call at this time definitely meant something had happened.
Without hesitation, she answered the call, and indeed, the things she feared had occurred.
"Miss Chu, there’s a big problem here. A lot of people are outside smashing the research institute door, and they’re about to break in. A lot of locals are now surrounding the institute. You need to come up with a solution, or there will really be trouble!" A researcher in a white coat spoke very quickly. After explaining the situation, he even gave a quick sweep of the entrance being besieged by many people with the video call camera. The situation was really grim!
"Hold on, I’m coming over right now!" Seeing the situation, Chu Meng couldn’t sit still any longer. She gave a simple instruction and immediately hung up the phone, then got up and rushed out. She had to get there as quickly as possible; Lin Feng’s father, Lin Yiwen, absolutely couldn’t have anything happen to him!
"Miss Chu, if you leave, what about the financial summit here? There are several appointments with top world billionaires and presidents this afternoon!" Her private assistant immediately spoke up upon seeing Chu Meng walk out without a word, completely baffled by what could be so urgent that Chu Meng would ignore these appointments. This was not a trivial matter!
"Do whatever needs to be done. Postpone those appointments. I don’t have time to deal with those matters now; make them all wait!" Chu Meng was about to rush out the meeting room when she heard her private assistant say this. She immediately instructed that in her eyes, these billionaires and presidents were insignificant; Lin Feng’s father was what truly mattered.
After saying this, she dashed out of the meeting room, got directly onto a helicopter parked on the top of the building, and left immediately...
On the helicopter, she was accompanied by several bodyguards. The bodyguards looked at Chu Meng’s extremely grim face and did not dare to say anything, just sat silently without uttering a word. At this point, Chu Meng had slightly calmed her emotions and dialed the researcher’s phone once more.
"Explain clearly to me what’s going on, how could such a thing happen!" She coldly chastised after the call connected. She was truly angry now. That researcher was actually sent by her specifically to take care of Lin Feng’s father, and now a dangerous situation like this had arisen. How could she not be furious!
"Miss Chu, here’s what happened..." The researcher shivered at Chu Meng’s tone before explaining the origin of the incident to her.
As it turns out, Lin Feng’s father, Lin Yiwen, is now an expert hired by Cloud Fund, currently researching a brand-new method to improve water quality. For research convenience, Lin Yiwen moved from Tianhai City to Guangnan City, leading a team of researchers to tackle scientific challenges at a local research institute.
A few days ago, while Lin Yiwen and his team were investigating the surrounding water quality, they unexpectedly discovered severe pollution in the river. With professional instruments, they easily located the pollution source at a paper mill upriver. Infuriated by such disregard for public welfare, Lin Yiwen immediately reported it to the news media.
But no one expected that this paper mill belonged to a local bully named Hu Si from the village. Upon hearing that someone had exposed his paper mill, Hu Si couldn’t tolerate it. He immediately gathered people and surrounded the research institute, threatening to harm everyone in it until the matter was resolved!
After listening to the researchers’ report on these matters, Chu Meng immediately understood the situation and decided on her next step: "You must defend the research institute at all costs. If Professor Lin encounters any problems, don’t expect to survive yourselves."
After saying this, Chu Meng hung up the phone and then called Lin Feng. Lin Feng had to be informed about this; she dared not keep him in the dark...
...
Meanwhile, before Chu Meng received the call from the researchers, the Old Monster and others rushed back from the Capital City. Under Lin Feng’s orders, everyone around Lin Feng in Tianhai City was invited over.
The group gathered at the training ground outside the old villa. A large round table was laden with various dishes. Around the table sat the Old Monster and many other skilled individuals, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao, along with Ding Wan’er and the ladies. Students were seated at another table, and the children had their own table. Everyone’s eyes were now on Lin Feng, eager to know why he had gathered them here.
"Lin Feng, you suddenly gathered everyone together. Surely it’s not just for a meal, right?" Ding Wan’er broke the silence, knowing Lin Feng too well. She understood that something significant must have happened for Lin Feng to hastily gather everyone.
Listening to Ding Wan’er’s words, everyone thought the same. Having been with Lin Feng for so long, they were accustomed to his way of doing things. Gathering everyone suddenly meant something important was at hand; otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t call everyone together so casually.
"It’s like this: in a few days, the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins will appear. I wanted to know what everyone thinks. Are any of you interested in going?" Lin Feng replied casually to Ding Wan’er’s question. He had been thinking about this, realizing that exploring the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins was a good opportunity. If anyone wanted to go, he didn’t mind taking them for a look.
"Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins?"
"What’s that?"
"We don’t understand at all."
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng mention this, everyone was puzzled. They really had no idea what the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins were, wondering what Lin Feng was talking about. Without clearly explaining, it was hard for them to make any decisions!
Seeing the group’s confusion, Lin Feng realized that they knew nothing about the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins. So, he began to explain: "You all know that above Divine Change Realm is the Human Immortal Realm. What you aren’t aware of is that above the Human Immortal Realm are the Earth Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The so-called Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins are the abodes where Heavenly Immortal Realm experts once cultivated."
"This time, the appearing ruins are the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins. You should know that there are no more Heavenly Immortal Realm experts now; they only existed in the Ancient Era, when Earth’s spiritual energy wasn’t scarce, and it was called the Land of Immortals, with no less than ten Heavenly Immortal experts. The ruins that are about to emerge belonged to one of these experts, called Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal. The numerous disasters that have been happening recently in the Secular World were a precursor to these ruins’ appearance!"
Looking at the crowd, Lin Feng explained in detail about the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, wanting everyone to comprehend the situation fully. This understanding was crucial for their decision-making.
After hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, everyone finally understood what he meant. They realized that the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins were not an ordinary opportunity. Involving oneself might bring substantial benefits, particularly for cultivators; it was an enormous opportunity. Without Lin Feng informing them, they wouldn’t even have thought such an opportunity would arise.
"I’m going!" The first to declare was the Old Monster. He was already a strong Infinitesimal Realm cultivator, but still believed his power, although decent in the Secular World, was far behind compared to those in the Hidden World. This opportunity was too precious to miss.
"I’m going too!" Next, Leng Hao expressed his interest. Being young and in the prime of life to see the world, he wouldn’t let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by.
Seeing the Old Monster and Leng Hao wanting to go, Nangong He and other experts shook their heads. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to go, but they understood their limitations. With just Transcendent Realm strength, they could only burden Lin Feng if they went. It was better for Lin Feng to accompany the Old Monster and Leng Hao alone, making things easier even if they encountered trouble.
"Lin Feng, we’re not going."
"Brother Lin Feng, I won’t go either."
"Lin Feng, we’re too inexperienced for this."
...
On the other hand, Ding Wan’er and the ladies also declined to join the exploration of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins. Though the opportunity was tempting, they knew they lacked actual combat experience despite having some strength. Going might hinder Lin Feng rather than help, so none of the ladies chose to participate.
"Young Master, I’ll follow your arrangements, but I think I should stay home. If trouble arises with everyone gone, someone must keep watch on the situation." Zhu Tao considered and shared his view. Although interested, he knew it wouldn’t make a difference whether he went or not; Lin Feng wouldn’t forget his faithful oversight. Therefore, he chose to stay back to ensure everything remained in order.
Hearing everyone’s decisions, Lin Feng nodded, having confirmed those who would go. Just as he was about to discuss further, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was from Senior Sister Chu Meng, he answered without hesitation.
