Chapter 1579 - 1578: Opportunity
Ling Feng was momentarily stunned upon witnessing this scene; the old monk clearly had spatial equipment!
During that moment of distraction, the Mage Shende already had a rectangular box in his hand, jet-black and gleaming with an oily sheen.
Seeing this item, Ling Feng was curious about what exactly Chen Gang had left for his daughter that needed to be kept by an old monk in the Capital City?
Chen Yuhe was also puzzled, having never heard her father mention this box, and naturally not knowing what was inside it.
"Young lady, here it is for you!"
The Mage Shende said, handing over the box.
Receiving it in her hands, Chen Yuhe didn’t hurry to open it but instead looked up and asked with eyes full of puzzlement: "Mage, what is inside this?"
"This item was found by your father in the mines. It so happened that I was passing through the area and noticed its extraordinary nature, so I asked him to pass it on to me."
The Mage Shende explained slowly, then took a deep breath: "For more than ten years, I’ve diligently studied this item and finally concluded it is formed from the Essence of Sun and Moon, born of the fortunes of heaven and earth!"
Ling Feng and Chen Yuhe were both bewildered, exchanging a glance.
"Open it and see," Ling Feng suggested.
Chen Yuhe nodded at his words and gently lifted the box’s lid.
Subsequently, a twenty-centimeter-long cylindrical object, with the thickness of a wrist and milky-white, appeared before the two of them.
The faint glow it emitted revealed its uniqueness, filled with a mysterious aura.
Chen Yuhe looked up: "Mage, what is this used for?"
"You can carry it with you; this object nourishes the body and mind. I’ve relied on it to cultivate my body and mind over the years and have greatly benefited, and now it is time to return it to you," the Mage Shende said calmly.
Chen Yuhe made an "oh" sound and then glanced at Ling Feng.
"Thank you, Mage, for the guidance. Since this is left by your father, you should keep it," Ling Feng said.
"Alright then."
Chen Yuhe nodded, closed the box, and stored it in the Space Bracelet.
Seeing this, a peculiar glint flashed in the Mage Shende’s eyes, realizing that Chen Yuhe was not an ordinary person.
So he immediately smiled and said, "It seems everything has cause and effect. Since the young lady is no ordinary person, the Sun and Moon Stone in your hands can obviously be utilized to a greater extent!"
"You flatter me, my level is not sufficient yet," Chen Yuhe smiled and replied.
The Mage Shende nodded: "Then it’s perfect, with this, your level can soon be enhanced!"
Ling Feng roughly understood the purpose of the Sun and Moon Stone and didn’t inquire further, knowing that when he returned, Ling Yao and the others could equally figure out the stone’s origin and function.
So he smiled at the monk and said, "Mage, your virtue is admirable. We thank you on behalf of Mr. Chen!"
"No need to be polite!"
The Mage Shende looked at Ling Feng and then asked, "If I’m not mistaken, you must be Ling Feng, Mr. Ling?"
"That’s me!"
"Very well, Mr. Ling, your name has become renowned recently, known to everyone!" the Mage Shende said.
Ling Feng chuckled: "Turns out, Mage, you often watch the news too?"
The Mage Shende nodded slightly and then with a smile said, "Cultivating is not about shutting oneself off from the world. Understanding what’s happening in the world can be greatly beneficial!"
Ling Feng, not being very familiar with Buddhist philosophies or mysteries, nodded in agreement: "You’re right, sir!"
"Mr. Ling, I wonder if you have time during your visit to the Capital City? If so, I would like to invite you to stay for a few days, how about it?" the Mage Shende asked.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment and then replied with a wry smile: "To be honest, I’m not sure about my schedule; something could come up at any time, and then I’d have to leave."
"Is that so?"
The Mage Shende pondered for a moment and then said: "In that case, I won’t insist. Perhaps we can meet again in Shiliu Village, and then spend a few days together!"
"Okay, if you move to my area, I will be sure to listen to your guidance!" Ling Feng promptly replied.
After bidding farewell to the Mage, the two left the meditation room and then walked straight out of the Lingfa Temple.
Once outside, Chen Yuhe asked, "It seems you didn’t want to stay, did you?"
"You noticed?"
Ling Feng looked at her, then with a wry smile said: "I came out with you to have fun, staying in the temple chatting with the old monk would be unfair to you!"
"Because of this?"
Chen Yuhe paused, then widened her eyes: "Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’m not that delicate. You’ve spent two days with me already, more than enough. Why not stay to listen to the Mage’s teachings, it might be useful to you!"
Ling Feng laughed: "No need. As he said, everything depends on fate. If I have no desire to stay, then the timing isn’t right, why force it?"
With that, he took her hand: "Let’s go, back to the hotel. That suite costs tens of thousands per night, it’ll feel like a waste not to stay!"
Chen Yuhe: "..."
They got a taxi and headed back to the Great Wall Hotel.
By this time, it was already four in the afternoon. They had just sat in the room for a while when Chen Yuhe’s phone rang.
Seeing it was Mu Wensheng calling, she answered and asked: "Mu, is there something you need?"
"It’s nothing much, just that Mr. Jin mentioned he wanted to invite you to dinner tonight. Do you have time?" Mu Wensheng inquired.
Chen Yuhe was taken aback, glanced at Ling Feng, and then said helplessly: "Sorry, I already have plans for tonight. Could you please thank Mr. Jin for me?"
"Alright, I’ll let him know."
Mu Wensheng said and then hung up the phone.
Ling Feng, having heard the conversation, frowned slightly and commented with a bit of amusement: "What’s Jin Chen up to? We attended the banquet last night, and now he wants to invite us again tonight? Is he really that hospitable?"
"I don’t know, whatever it is, I don’t want to go. It’s always about some Qing dynasty aristocratic customs, it’s exhausting to watch!" Chen Yuhe pouted.
"I’m with you on that!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, then added: "They love to obsess over their ancestors’ glory; let them be, no need to make ourselves uncomfortable!"
"Exactly!"
Chen Yuhe leaned on Ling Feng’s shoulder, then changed the topic: "What are we eating tonight?"
"Haven’t decided yet!"
Ling Feng chuckled, wrapping an arm around her shoulder: "No matter what we eat, once we get back, I’m definitely going to eat you!"
"You!"
Chen Yuhe, speechless, nudged him with her head.
The two cuddled on the sofa, and soon, it was past five o’clock.
As they were about to head out and find a place to eat, the door suddenly was knocked!
Ling Feng scanned with his Divine Sense, and upon seeing who stood outside the door, he suddenly froze!
