Chapter 1078: Unguarded
As dusk fell, Capital City had become a brightly lit metropolis, and Ling Feng returned to the Great Wall Hotel with Duan Feihong.
After going upstairs, they came to the door of Chen Yan and the others’ room, knocked twice but got no response, which meant nobody was there.
Having no choice, Ling Feng had to call Chen Yan and then asked, "Where did you guys go?"
"Uncle, you’re back? We’re at the buffet!" Chen Yan said.
Ling Feng was taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "Isn’t this just asking for trouble? Yang Guang can eat so much!"
"Hehe, the idea is to teach the boss a lesson!" Chen Yan said with mischievous laughter.
Ling Feng was speechless, then asked, "How long until you guys can come back?"
"Soon, I feel like the waitstaff are already giving us dirty looks, and Yang Guang is halfway to full," Chen Yan said.
Ling Feng: "...."
"Try to hurry, I have something to tell you when you come back!"
With no other option, Ling Feng said helplessly and hung up the phone.
Then he turned to look at Duan Feihong, "How about sitting in my room for a while?"
After hesitating, Duan Feihong shook her head: "No thanks, I’ll go upstairs and freshen up first, I’ve sweated quite a bit today."
"Oh, okay."
Ling Feng nodded, watched her enter the elevator, and then went back to his room.
An hour passed before Ling Feng heard Chen Yan knocking on the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Ling Feng frowned immediately, "What a strong smell of smoke!"
"We had a barbecue buffet, so of course we’re all smeared with the smell of grease. I came to check in with you as soon as we got back!" Chen Yan said with a smile.
"Where are Ye Qian and Yang Guang?" Ling Feng asked.
"They went to their room to shower and change clothes. I’m here to give you a heads up and to take a shower at your place too!" Chen Yan said.
Ling Feng was surprised: "Why?"
"Because the bathroom is occupied by them!" Chen Yan said.
"Alright."
Ling Feng couldn’t refuse, so he made way for her to enter the house.
Chen Yan didn’t play coy, heading straight for the bathroom and closing the room door behind her.
Soon after, the sound of rushing water came through, and Ling Feng felt a stir in his heart!
With his Divine Sense, peeping on Chen Yan taking a shower would be all too easy.
So Ling Feng swallowed hard, his adam’s apple bobbing.
Having built up quite a bit of frustration at the Wu Family estate earlier today, he indeed felt a bit impulsive now.
But after giving it some thought, Ling Feng didn’t extend his Divine Sense; it felt too immoral, almost like taking advantage of her.
So he slumped on the couch looking at the ceiling, thinking to himself to hurry up, there was serious business to deal with!
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yan finally came out of the bathroom.
Seeing her wrapped in a bath towel, with the hem only reaching her upper thighs, revealing her long slender legs, Ling Feng was momentarily stunned.
Then he asked with a wry smile, "You’re coming out like this?"
"Yeah, I didn’t bring a change of clothes, so I had to, what’s the issue?" Chen Yan asked.
"Nothing, it’s nothing."
Ling Feng felt helpless, wanting to look but not daring to, and his eyes couldn’t bear to move away, torn inside.
But Chen Yan didn’t care at all, even walking over and standing in front of him: "How was your day?"
Ling Feng looked down and caught sight of her small feet, the round and clear toes were extremely cute.
Left with no choice, he had to turn his head aside: "Things went smoothly I guess, quite a few things happened, we’ll talk about it when Feihong comes down later."
"Oh."
Chen Yan nodded: "Then let’s go next door, Ye Qian and Yang Guang are probably done with their baths!"
"You’re just going like that?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yeah, the hallway is empty, and it’s just next door, won’t it take just two seconds to get there?" Chen Yan tilted her head and asked.
Ling Feng reluctantly nodded and said: "Alright then."
Soon, the two arrived next door and saw that both Ye Qian and Yang Guang had wet hair, evidently having just finished bathing.
And when the two of them saw Chen Yan’s appearance, they were all taken aback!
Then Yang Guang made a funny face at Chen Yan!
"You guys chat, I’m going to get dressed!"
Chen Yan pretended not to see and stepped into the bedroom.
"Buffet is not bad, at least it saves money!" Ling Feng said.
Ye Qian understood what he meant and smiled, saying: "It’s a pity we can’t keep using this method!"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"After we finished eating and were ready to pay, the owner waived our bill. He only had one request: that we never go there again!" Ye Qian said, trying to suppress her laughter.
Ling Feng: "..."
Looking at the innocent-looking Yang Guang, he couldn’t help but laugh and say: "At this rate, wherever you go for a meal, you’ll instantly be put on people’s blacklist!"
"That’ll still leave me well-fed for a while!"
Yang Guang shrugged his shoulders, then said: "It’s just that I don’t really like barbecue, it’s too greasy!"
"You’re picky, having food to eat is good enough!" Ling Feng said.
After joking for a bit, Ye Qian, attentive as always, looked at Ling Feng and asked: "What’s wrong with you? Why do you look pale?"
"I got a bit hurt, but it’s nothing serious now." Ling Feng said.
"Injured?! "
Both Ye Qian and Yang Guang were startled, then the young girl incredulously said with resignation: "Has someone actually managed to hurt you?"
"The world is so big, there’s no shortage of powerful characters!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Yang Guang quickly went to open it and welcomed Duan Feihong inside.
She had changed into a two-piece cotton pajama set, with her hair carelessly tied up at the back of her head, looking very homey.
This was because she had completely relaxed after getting familiar with everyone.
When Yang Guang saw it was her, he immediately froze for a second: "Wow, Feihong, your complexion looks better!"
"Does it? It’s all thanks to Ling Feng!" Duan Feihong said with a smile.
At this moment, Chen Yan also came out of the bedroom. Once everyone was present, Ling Feng and the others sat down and he began: "Before rushing into what happened during the day, I have something here for you guys to look at!"
Having said that, he took out the wooden box with the longsword and placed it on the coffee table.
Chen Yan and the others were taken aback, then saw Ling Feng draw the longsword, and Yang Guang exclaimed: "Wow, what a sword!"
"Don’t get overly excited, help me check if there’s anything wrong with this sword, why someone would want to snatch it!" Ling Feng said.
"This sword is sinister!" Ye Qian said.
"Right, I can feel the Evil Qi on it!" Yang Guang followed up.
Ling Feng perked up immediately and asked: "Explain it to me, what’s going on?"
Ye Qian looked at him: "I can sense that the sword is attached to the grievances of countless spirits, it seems to have killed many people!"
"This sword was forged with a feng shui formation that can absorb the grudges of spirits, and now it has become imbued with Evil Qi." Yang Guang said.
"What’s it used for?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
"It’s used for intimidation. Whoever knows how to use it could wield it to suppress the opponent’s spiritual power. Superpower Users with low cultivation levels can’t withstand its power!" Yang Guang said.
