Chapter 441: Unexpected Reversal
Chapter 441: Unexpected Reversal
Just when Ling Feng was beating his chest and stomping his feet, overwhelmed with frustration, his cellphone suddenly started ringing.
Because he was on the mountain top, the signal was quite good. Ling Feng saw that it was Li Fei’er calling and answered, "What’s up?"
"How are you, Uncle?"
"Not good, let that person get away, didn’t manage to get the stuff back!"
Ling Feng looked downcast, squatted down to the ground, and started fiddling with the stones on the ground.
Instead of consoling him, Li Fei’er on the other end couldn’t help but giggle, "If it’s stolen, it’s stolen, no big deal!"
"Easy for you to say!"
Ling Feng was speechless, thinking to himself that this girl had no idea; this was a major issue about his face!
Yet Li Fei’er was still giggling on the other side and suddenly, in a mysterious tone, said, "Just come back, Uncle. There’s a surprise waiting for you!"
"What?"
Ling Feng was startled, his mind immediately filling with numerous possibilities, so he couldn’t help but ask, "What surprise, could there be something left in that big urn just now?"
"You’ll know when you get back, hurry up!"
Li Fei’er left him hanging, said one sentence and hung up the phone.
Confused, Ling Feng felt she wouldn’t be so relaxed unless she had found something new. So he stopped thinking about the woman who had suddenly disappeared and turned to head back.
Ten minutes later, he arrived back at the construction slope and saw the place was filled with people, not just the construction workers, but also the folks from Shahe Village had all come out to see what was happening.
Filled with curiosity, Ling Feng hurried down the slope. Du Song immediately ran over and said, "Boss, you’re back! Today’s event is really fun!"
"What exactly happened?" Seeing Du Song grinning ear to ear, not the least bit upset that the items were stolen, Ling Feng grew even more curious.
Then Du Song chuckled and said, "You’ll see when you get there!"
"Damn, I hate you guys who play coy!"
Ling Feng glared at him and pushed his way through the crowd, then saw Chu Nan crouched on the ground, busy with something.
"What’s going on?" He quickly approached and asked.
Chu Nan glanced back at him, "You came back just in time, take a look at this!"
Ling Feng looked down and saw lying on the ground was the same black urn, wooden sword, and a pile of broken fragments he had just seen, along with a black wooden box.
"What the hell is this?"
Ling Feng’s eyes bulged instantly. He had clearly seen earlier the items being carried away by that flying thing; how could they appear here?
"Seems that senior foresaw something like this might happen today, so he set up a ruse. This is a two-layer setup; what was stolen is fake!" Chu Nan said with a proud smile.
Ling Feng: "..."
"Surprised? Didn’t see that coming?" Chu Nan asked.
Ling Feng: "..."
His mind went blank, feeling that life’s dramatic ups and downs were just too exhilarating!
He had thought the treasure was stolen, yet there was an unexpected twist!
"That’s why they say he’s a master, let the thief cry, after all that effort, they got away with nothing but fakes! Haha!" Chu Nan didn’t care about Ling Feng’s dazed expression and laughed loudly to himself.
"So what’s in this box?"
Having regained his composure, Ling Feng pointed to the large box and asked.
"We were waiting for you to open the box, it was really heavy when we moved it, there might be treasure inside!" Chu Nan said.
Ling Feng’s spirits were immediately lifted when he heard this, so he quickly squatted down, used the God Slayer Saber to cut through the thick lock, and then slid the blade around the gap of the chest, clearing away the unknown sealing material.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Ling Feng reached out and lifted the lid of the chest!
"Wow!"
"My God!"
A succession of astonished exclamations arose, including Chu Nan and Ling Feng, everyone’s eyes were glued to the sight.
What is the definition of glittering with gold and jewels? The chest before them was the embodiment of that!
This large wooden chest contained many things, various colored gemstones, jade, mixed with quite a few yellow metal bars, clearly gold!
This chest full of treasures was worth at least several million, perhaps even over ten million. No wonder everyone present gasped in astonishment.
However, in the face of all this, Ling Feng was more concerned about the wooden sword and that black jar, so he turned to Chu Nan and said, "Quickly secure the items, don’t let them be stolen again!"
"Don’t worry, the other side probably won’t find out in a short time, and even if they do, they wouldn’t dare to come back."
Chu Nan chuckled, instructed people to carry the chest onto the cart, carefully picked up the jar and the wooden sword, and cautiously got into the vehicle as if cradling an infant.
After the car door closed, Ling Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Let me see what these two things are that people are so keen on!"
But to his surprise, Chu Nan seemed reluctant, actually not willing to let go.
Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel speechless, "Really? I just recognized you as my teacher, and now you’re treating me like an outsider?"
"Alright, alright, just be careful, these are treasures!"
Chu Nan advised with a face full of nervousness.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes, reached out to take the wooden sword, and immediately a prompt appeared in his mind: Peach Wood Sword, made from thunderstruck jujube wood, possesses the attribute of thunder and lightning, can unleash its potential in the Core Formation Realm.
Seeing this, Ling Feng lost interest.
He already had the God Slayer Saber for an offensive weapon.
And the attribute of thunder and lightning was nothing special since Wang Cai was a Thunder Wolf, and it could use lightning!
So, the Peach Wood Sword was of no use to him.
After he returned it to Chu Nan, he took over the black jar and, upon seeing the prompt in his mind, he was instantly stunned, completely flabbergasted!
"Alchemy Furnace, forged from meteoric iron from outer space, the ultimate alchemy divine artifact, capable of turning decay into magic!"
Seeing him in a daze, Chu Nan curiously asked, "What’s wrong with you? It doesn’t have electricity, why do you look like you’ve been electrocuted?"
"Old man, I mean, teacher, can you give this to me?" Ling Feng came to his senses, asking eagerly.
"Uh..."
Chu Nan hadn’t expected him to be so direct upon holding it, so he curiously asked, "I haven’t figured out what this is yet. What do you want it for?"
"Never mind that, I want this thing. Just tell me what it would take for you to give it to me!" Ling Feng’s eyes sparkled, he asked with a tense face.
Seeing him like this, Chu Nan’s eyes shifted, and he chuckled, "You won’t tell me, eh? Then I might just not give it to you. After all, you wouldn’t feel right about stealing it from me, would you?"
Ling Feng: "..."
Seeing the old man giving him a hard time, he thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Alright then, I don’t want you to lose out. Just give it to me, and I can give you a top-grade Spirit Stone in exchange!"
"Ah?"
Chu Nan was immediately taken aback upon hearing such a generous offer!
But in his moment of stunned hesitation, Ling Feng thought he found the offer insufficient, so he hurriedly said, "If one isn’t enough, then two!"
