Chapter 1560 - 1559: Asking for Your Help
Ling Feng and Chu Xing were sitting on the steps at the entrance, chatting idly. The customers coming in and out found it quite strange.
But neither of them minded or cared about appearances, chatting and laughing like two unemployed people exchanging stories.
It wasn’t until over an hour later that a waiter came out and said, "Mr. Ling, that Mr. Fu is out now!"
"Great!"
Ling Feng nodded, got up, and went into the hall with Chu Xing.
Fu Hao had changed into a gray cultivation outfit, shaved his beard, but not his hair, which was tied up on top of his head with a disposable chopstick as a hairpin, gathered together.
Ling Feng was a bit taken aback by his appearance, and the waiter quickly explained, "This was Mr. Fu’s request, and we could only meet it with the resources we have!"
"Hmm, it’s fine. It actually gives him a very masterly demeanor!"
Ling Feng nodded and turned to Chu Xing, saying, "This is Brother Fu!"
"Hello, Brother Fu!"
Chu Xing, full of respect, stepped forward quickly to shake Fu Hao’s hand.
But seeing Fu Hao’s puzzled look, he realized the man didn’t understand modern social etiquette and stood there momentarily, cupping his fists with a slight bow.
Fu Hao understood this gesture and returned the greeting with cupped fists and a bow.
Ling Feng introduced, "Brother Fu, this is my brother Chu Xing. From now on, your daily needs will be his responsibility!"
"Much obliged!"
Fu Hao suddenly understood and quickly said.
Having lived underground for so long, being able to communicate with people was already not easy, which both Ling Feng and Chu Xing understood, so they didn’t dwell on it.
Afterward, the three took a car to the school.
This was a place they had visited back when selecting a site, but now it looked quite different from before.
The spacious playground, dormitories, teaching buildings, multi-function rooms, all had been freshly decorated and painted.
After getting out of the car, Ling Feng explained to Fu Hao, "Brother Fu, this is my school for talent cultivation. Since you have extraordinary abilities, I hope you will stay here, and when you have time or are in the mood, you could give the students some guidance."
Fu Hao originally wanted a place to stay, and hearing Ling Feng’s words, he felt flattered and quickly said, "Honestly, I don’t know much!"
"I understand, but you have already formed your own realm. You can learn cultivation techniques later, and your progress is unmatched by ordinary people. Keeping you here mainly serves as an inspiration for the younger students, giving them a goal to aim for, providing them with motivation, right?" Ling Feng smiled.
Fu Hao nodded at this and then said, "In that case, let’s do it."
After speaking, he turned to look around and pointed at two houses by the school’s gate, "Can I live there?"
"Huh? That’s the guardhouse. I should get you a better room!" Ling Feng said.
"No, thank you. I’m not used to living in such tall buildings. I prefer this kind, by the way, what does a gatekeeper do?" Fu Hao asked.
"Uh, it’s the person who guards the gate," Ling Feng said awkwardly.
Fu Hao nodded, "That’s perfect!"
He then looked at Ling Feng, "Brother, I have nothing to repay you with for now, so let me guard the gate for you. Don’t worry, I’ll handle the things you mentioned!"
"Alright then."
Ling Feng thought about it and decided since he had his own thoughts, he shouldn’t force him. With Chu Xing around, he could gradually help him adapt to life now, it’ll be fine in the future!
The next step was to settle Fu Hao’s accommodation and meals, but Ling Feng didn’t need to worry about that. Chu Xing busied himself efficiently and swiftly had everything arranged.
Once the arrangements were made, Ling Feng said to Fu Hao, "Brother, I won’t stay here to accompany you. I’ll come by when I have time later."
"Alright, you go ahead with your work; I’ll get used to the environment first," Fu Hao nodded.
Leaving Chu Xing there, Ling Feng drove off by himself.
His initial intent was to return to the Yinzhou Sub-bureau, but before he even got home, Zhang He suddenly called.
Seeing the number, Ling Feng smiled as he answered and asked, "What’s up, Director Zhang, missing me?"
"Not really missing you, just something I need you to come over for, do you have time?" Zhang He asked.
"I do, but I’m now the director of the Yinzhou Sub-bureau. You wouldn’t be giving me an assignment, would you?" Ling Feng asked.
"Don’t be sneaky, I can’t order you around anymore, just asking you to come to chat!" Zhang He said mildly.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng chuckled, hung up, then turned his car toward Longyuan.
When he arrived, entering Zhang He’s office, he saw Lin Xue and Zhou Yi there, and he was taken aback!
Seeing the serious faces of the three, Ling Feng sat down and asked, "What’s the matter? Big event happening?"
"Indeed!"
Zhang He nodded, then said, "You’ve always been curious about the secret work we do here, right? Today, I can tell you!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng was intrigued. He then asked, "Why the sudden benevolence?"
Zhang He chuckled, "It’s not benevolence, mainly we need your help!"
Ling Feng, speechless, couldn’t help but retort, "Well, you can’t assign me a task, but you can ask me for help, huh? Your routine is impressive!"
"You don’t have to help; I can ask Director Han to order you," Zhang He said.
"Let’s not do that. Any problem we both can solve, it’s best not to bother him!"
Ling Feng quickly backed down, then asked, "What on earth is so serious that it requires all three of you to be so grave?"
"About half a year ago, during the expansion of Longyuan, an unusual passageway was discovered underground...."
Ling Feng didn’t speak, but a premonition stirred in his heart.
And Zhang He continued, "Since then, the expansion work has been kept totally confidential. I only learned about it after being here for a month."
"And then? What is that passageway?" Ling Feng asked.
"We found a connection point leading to the underground world."
Zhang He said with a serious expression, "Just yesterday, we established contact with the underground civilization!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng’s eyes widened: "Communications between the two sides are possible?"
"All thanks to Fei’er, else how would it be possible?"
Zhang He smiled and continued, "She made a significant contribution to this matter!"
"Fei’er is involved too?"
Ling Feng was surprised and then asked, "How come I didn’t see her?"
"She’s still underground, receiving the underground people," Zhang He said.
"What, receiving? What do you mean?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled and confused.
Zhang He looked at him, "It means there is a group of underground people needing a new place to live!"
