Chapter 535 The Chu Family Has an Issue
Just from its appearance, Ling Feng knew this dagger was no ordinary item!
So he reached out and swung it, immediately feeling as if the air itself had twisted, with the blade even emitting a faint sound of wind and thunder!
"What a great find!"
After exclaiming, Ling Feng immediately stood up and walked over to Xun Qianqian and the others.
All three had already been drawn to the commotion, and seeing him holding the shiny dagger, they quickly surrounded him and asked, "Is that something from the corpse?"
"Correct, it fell from his body. This thing here is a real treasure!" said Ling Feng.
Hearing this, all three’s eyes lit up!
Ling Feng already had the God Slayer Saber, so the dagger was somewhat superfluous for him.
But they were desperately in need of handy weapons. Having this weapon could considerably increase their own strength.
However, with three people and one dagger, deciding who should receive it was a problem.
Seeing the look in their eyes, Ling Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about this, you three give it a try and see who can make it emit the sound of wind and thunder like I did. Whoever can do that gets to use it!"
"Anna, why don’t you go first?" Miao Lanlan said.
She wanted the dagger too, but she restrained her desire and courteously offered to let someone else try first.
"No, you go ahead, sister, or maybe Qianqian should try," Joanna said, also feeling a bit embarrassed.
Xun Qianqian, on the other hand, didn’t think too much of it and thought, if you’re letting me, I’ll give it a go!
So she took the dagger and swung it through the air, but unfortunately, she saw no effect.
With no other option, she could only shrug her shoulders and hand the dagger over to Joanna: "Looks like it’s not fated to be with me."
Joanna smiled and also reached out to slash the air, resulting in only a whooshing sound echoing through the cave!
"Ah, I can actually use it?" she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes brimming with joy.
Nevertheless, Joanna, still trying to contain her excitement, passed the dagger to Miao Lanlan: "Lanlan, you try too!"
"Should I even bother?"
Miao Lanlan was well aware that her abilities were nowhere near as strong as the others, and she would definitely not be able to produce that effect.
As expected, after Joanna insistently handed her the dagger, she swung it and, just like Xun Qianqian, there was no reaction in the cave.
"Then it’s settled, Anna will use the dagger for now. If we find something else useful later on, I’ll make sure you girls get it!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"No need, I’ve already set my sights on something else!" Xun Qianqian declared.
Ling Feng looked at her: "Oh? What would you like? You can have anything I own!"
"You definitely have it. I want the Gatling!" Xun Qianqian pouted.
Ling Feng: "..."
After a wry smile, he said, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to share, but that thing is just too heavy, I’m afraid you won’t be able to carry it!"
"Don’t worry, I’ve already tried it secretly. Not only can I carry it, but I can also jump through the air. I’m not any worse off than you!" Xun Qianqian declared.
Realizing she wouldn’t take no for an answer, Ling Feng could only nod in agreement: "Alright then, but just remember to not shoot randomly. We only have so many bullets, and if you keep your finger on the trigger for just a few minutes, you’ll run out!"
"I know, I’ll control the bursts of fire," she assured.
With Ling Feng’s promise, Xun Qianqian couldn’t hide her glee.
Only Miao Lanlan was left with nothing, and as Ling Feng looked at her, he began, "Don’t worry, wait..."
Before he could finish, Miao Lanlan gave him a sideways glance: "Who said I’m in a hurry? Do I have to rely on you to get a better weapon?"
"Err... that’s true," Ling Feng said, slightly chagrined.
"I’ve asked grandpa to help find one. It might not be as good as yours, but it certainly won’t be too far off, and we should have news soon!" Miao Lanlan continued.
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s good!"
After he finished speaking, he changed the subject, "Then you help me gather Spirit Stones first. I’ll move this senior’s body down below and find a place to bury him."
"Okay!"
...
...
Several hours later, everyone finished their tasks and returned to the top of the cliff.
This time, they had harvested more than twenty high-quality Spirit Stones, the largest of which was as big as a bowl.
The outside world was in chaos over a Spirit Stone the size of a thumb, while Ling Feng had already lost interest in such small ones.
"It’s getting late; let’s head back to rest and later explore that large tree!" Ling Feng said after taking a short break.
All three girls listened to him, naturally having no objections, so they all left the Fourth Layer Heaven together.
After returning home, Ling Feng habitually checked his phone first to see if anyone had tried to reach him while he was away.
And indeed, there were messages, and more than one!
All the calls were from the same number, none other than Chu Nan’s!
Seeing his name, followed by eight records, Ling Feng’s heart immediately sank!
He hastily redialed, and once connected, he asked, "What’s wrong, Teacher? What happened?"
"I’m on my way to your place, and it’s not too late to talk when we meet!"
Chu Nan’s voice sounded somewhat low, as if he wasn’t in a very good mood.
Hearing this, Ling Feng could only nod, "All right, I’ll wait at home."
"Already at the county city, I’ll be there shortly!"
After Chu Nan said those words, he hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, that signature SUV parked in front of the door, and Ling Feng immediately went to greet it.
The car door opened, and Chu Nan, who hadn’t moved from his seat, said indifferently, "Get in the car, let’s talk."
"Oh."
Ling Feng was startled, sensing that the matter seemed quite serious. He hurriedly got into the car.
It was just the two of them in the space behind, and as soon as Ling Feng sat down, he anxiously asked, "What’s the matter, Teacher? You came all this way, is there a serious problem?"
"Indeed, I need your help again," said Chu Nan, nodding before continuing, "You remember my grandson, right?"
Of course, Ling Feng remembered. Hearing him ask, he couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "It’s not that your precious grandson has caused trouble again, is it?"
"Of course not!"
Chu Nan glanced at Ling Feng and continued, "He didn’t stir up trouble, he’s gone missing!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was somewhat astonished, his eyes widened in confusion, "Your Chu Family is the head of the three major noble families. Who would dare touch him?"
"Exactly, and that’s what’s so baffling about this situation. You know Chu Bo’s skills; ordinary people couldn’t really harm him, yet he just disappeared without a trace!" Chu Nan said, frowning.
It was clear that the old man cared deeply for his grandson, his worry evident on his face.
Seeing his demeanor, Ling Feng smiled, "So, you mean to say you want me to help find him?"
"There’s no need for you to look for him. I’ve already asked Wang Laogen to arrange a search for him, but this incident must have an extraordinary background, so I hope, when it’s time for assistance, that you will take action!" Chu Nan said.
