Chapter 1520 - 1519: Total Straight Man
Ling Feng smiled, "Don’t be nervous, I don’t want to kill anyone this time!"
Just as he finished speaking, the Mind Soul Art activated, and those four people immediately screamed miserably and fell to the ground.
Lin Chen and the others charged through the front gate of the temple and quickly took control of them.
"You three escort them back, I’ll settle the bill with the landlord first, then head into the mountains myself!" Ling Feng said.
"No way, boss, I’ll go with you!" Lin Yu immediately said.
Ling Feng was taken aback, looked at her, "No need, I can go by myself!"
"No, I have to go with you!"
Lin Yu shook her head stubbornly.
Ling Feng was helpless, smiled wryly, and said, "I’ve already said there’s no need, why won’t you listen? Is it because my words as the director don’t carry weight?"
"No, it’s precisely because you’re the director, you shouldn’t have to do everything yourself. I may not be much help, but I can run some errands!" Lin Yu said.
"Yes, boss, just let Sister Xiao Yu go with you, that way we can relax a bit!" Sun Rui said from the side.
Ling Feng looked at her, knowing this girl was backing Lin Yu up, so he glared at her.
Sun Rui stuck out her tongue, afraid to speak again.
However, Ling Feng didn’t refuse further, looked at Lin Yu, "Alright, you can come with me, you can help drive!"
"Alright!"
Lin Yu’s face lit up with a smile, and she winked at Sun Rui.
The people from the temple were all put in the car, then Lin Chen and Sun Rui each drove a car back to Yinzhou City.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng and Lin Yu returned to the rental house.
There wasn’t much to take upstairs, but they mainly needed to settle the rent, so they went straight into the grocery store on the first floor.
The landlord, upon hearing Ling Feng was leaving, seemed a bit reluctant, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ling, leaving after just a few days?"
"Yes, I’m done with work, it’s time to go back. Let’s settle the rent for these past few days!" Ling Feng said smiling.
The landlord shook his head, "What’s there to settle, we’ll be like family in the future, I’ll return the deposit to you!"
"What, family?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, his eyes wide with surprise.
The landlord laughed, "Your matter with my aunt, the whole village knows, we’re all family from now on, why talk about money!"
Saying this, he took out the deposit money, handing it to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng was dumbfounded, utterly at a loss.
He thought, what’s going on here, forcing the bull to drink!?
From start to finish, he never mentioned making Chen Hong his girlfriend, yet these unrelated people had cemented it?
Speechless, Ling Feng didn’t bother explaining, took the deposit, and then said, "Since the landlord doesn’t want rent, how about this, I’ll leave some meat for you, cook it yourself later!"
Not wanting to take advantage, he brought out some White Jiao meat from his Space Bracelet and placed it on the table.
This was something the landlord couldn’t refuse, having previously begged for food, he was ecstatic seeing Ling Feng bring out so much.
Ling Feng didn’t stay much longer and left with Lin Yu.
By this time, it was already late; the car drove along the dark road, with Lin Yu keeping an eye on the road ahead, curiously asking, "Boss, what’s this family relation the landlord talked about?"
"Just a misunderstanding!"
Ling Feng laughed bitterly, thinking the journey was dull, and decided to tell her the story.
After listening, Lin Yu also felt helpless and said with a wry smile, "Could it really happen like that?"
"Exactly! I couldn’t believe it, Chen Hong’s parents almost stuffed their daughter into my arms!" Ling Feng said with a bitter laugh.
Lin Yu said nothing, but after a while, softly said, "After all, you’re not an ordinary person, maybe her parents just wanted a good future for their daughter."
"Uh, it’s just that the method was somewhat unacceptable."
Ling Feng sighed, then added, "Chen Hong doesn’t like me at all; she’s proud, just too filial to go against her parents!"
"I see."
Lin Yu realized, pursed her lips, then asked, "So, boss, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Well..."
Ling Feng pondered, then laughed, "You’ll know in the future!"
Seeing him not answer, Lin Yu asked no more, just nodded, "Alright."
The car continued through the night, not speeding, so it took over an hour to reach the vicinity of their destination.
The Spirit Bone Tower wasn’t well documented; Lin Yu hadn’t heard of it before, and only found a little information online.
When they arrived, they realized how remote the Spirit Bone Tower’s location was; the car couldn’t get there at all!
Since they were here, Ling Feng decided to walk into the mountain; they couldn’t turn back now.
Getting out of the car, Ling Feng looked at Lin Yu, "It’s a bit chilly at night, are the clothes you’re wearing enough?"
Lin Yu was wearing just a sweater and an outer coat, looking rather thin.
"I think it’s okay; once we start walking in the mountains, I’ll warm up." Lin Yu said.
"It’s better not; I’d hate for you to get cold and have to bear responsibility!"
Ling Feng laughed, taking a thick down jacket from his bracelet.
Seeing the thick clothes, Lin Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, thanked him, and put it on.
She immediately smelled a pleasant fragrance and asked, "Boss, did someone else wear this coat?"
"Yeah!"
Ling Feng nodded, unable to recall whether it was Long Xiaoyu or Li Fei’er who wore it.
Lin Yu made an "oh" sound, then smiled, "I wonder what perfume that girl used, it smells so good!"
Ling Feng was taken aback and instinctively leaned in to smell it; then realization dawned, "It’s not perfume, it’s her natural scent!"
"Ah?"
Lin Yu was surprised, already a bit nervous from Ling Feng’s slightly intimate action, but her curiosity piqued realizing it was a natural scent, "How can that be?"
"Nothing strange, Little Yu just naturally has this scent!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Lin Yu heard wrong, "Little Yu? Same name as mine?"
"No, her name is Long Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu as in ’rain’!"
"Oh, that’s a beautiful name!"
Lin Yu remarked, then looked at the dark valley ahead, "Boss, shall we go?"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Follow me, watch your step; the path ahead is not easy!"
"Okay!"
Lin Yu agreed, watching him step forward, feeling a sense of wistfulness!
At the same time, a small bit of blame.
After all, I’m a girl, venturing into the mountains late at night, knowing the path isn’t easy, couldn’t he hold my hand?
This director is indeed a steel-minded straight man!
