Chapter 613: Farewell is Imminent
Lin Huaqiang smiled, "The dishes have all gone cold, shall we have the kitchen reheat them?"
"No need, it’s fine, the main thing is I’m feeling very hungry right now, I can’t wait anymore!" Ling Feng laughed.
"That’s fine then!"
Lin Huaqiang wasn’t ceremonious either, and the two returned to their previous table.
The incident with the Sun Family was just a minor interlude and didn’t affect their mood. While taking advantage of the meal, Lin Huaqiang mentioned the arrangements for the evening.
Once the trader got there, he would arrange a meeting in a hotel room. At that time, Ling Feng didn’t need to show himself, just wait for the other party to present the item, and check its authenticity could then be verified.
As soon as it was confirmed to be genuine, Lin Huaqiang would be responsible for giving the Spirit Stones to the other party!
This way, since the other party wouldn’t see Ling Feng, they wouldn’t know who the buyer was, giving him an extra layer of security. In the future, if anyone got curious about who came up with so many Spirit Stones, they wouldn’t be able to trace it back to him.
Grateful for this arrangement, Ling Feng said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Lin, you’ve been so thoughtful for me!"
"Don’t mention it, you’re the younger generation, of course, I should take care of you!" Lin Huaqiang laughed.
After dinner, the two didn’t return to the Lin Family but drove straight to the hotel they had booked.
It was only eight o’clock in the evening at the time, and there was still some time before the person selling the bracelet would arrive, so after going upstairs, Ling Feng said to Lin Huaqiang, "Uncle Lin, I’m going to teleport home to check in first!"
"How come? You’ve only been out for half a day, and you’re already missing home?" Lin Huaqiang teased.
Ling Feng chuckled, "Of course not, it’s just..."
Before he could finish, Lin Huaqiang interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Alright, I’m not interested in getting involved in your affairs, go back then. Just remember to come back when it’s time!"
"Okay!"
Ling Feng chuckled, activated the teleportation, and left.
Gazing at the empty room, Lin Huaqiang spaced out for a moment before taking out his phone and calling his subordinate, "The guest from America is about to arrive, keep alert, and ensure his safety after he lands!"
"Got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Huaqiang squinted his eyes and muttered to himself, "Ling Feng, oh Ling Feng, making such a big move, I don’t even know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing now!"
"It’s easy to create wealth, but hard to guard it. Your strength is not bad now, but I don’t know which day the taller tree will catch the wind, and whether it will lead to some catastrophic disaster!"
...
...
After teleporting to the Nine Heavens, Ling Feng found Ling Yao and immediately said, "Sister, the bracelet you wanted will arrive soon, come with me later to check the goods!"
"Alright, I didn’t expect you to be so efficient, not bad!"
Ling Yao was very happy, giving him a thumbs-up in appreciation.
Ling Feng smiled, feeling awkward to be always seen as a younger brother by such a young girl!
After they finished talking about this matter, taking advantage of the time he had, he went to find Feng Ling.
She was sitting on the walnut tree branches as before, swinging her legs leisurely, seemingly very relaxed.
Ling Feng climbed directly up the tree, sat down beside her, and looked at her, "You know about the Black Dragon Sect, right?"
"Hmm."
Feng Ling nodded, not looking at him, gazing ahead with a calm expression.
Ling Feng was curious, "You really have no reaction to it?"
"What reaction should I have? To weep bitterly, to fret with heartache, or to glare at you with anger?" Feng Ling turned her head and asked.
"You’ve learned your idioms well!"
Ling Feng scratched his head, then asked, "So, do you have any plans now?"
"I was actually waiting for you to come back, so let’s discuss it now."
Feng Ling nodded, looked at Ling Feng, and said, "I’m planning to go back."
Although he had already anticipated it, Ling Feng still felt a heavy weight on his heart upon hearing those words!
After a smile, he asked, "Once you leave, does that mean we’ll never see each other again?"
"Hmm?"
Feng Ling was startled, not expecting him to ask that, and after pondering for a moment, she answered, "It’s hard to say. The Black Dragon Sect has suffered a great blow, and the number of disciples has decreased by two-thirds. We still don’t know what happened to my father!"
"So, you have to assume the responsibility of reviving the Black Dragon Sect for the Sect Hierarch?" Ling Feng asked.
Feng Ling nodded, "Yes!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng took a long sigh, "Then it seems we really might not be able to meet again in the future!"
Feng Ling looked at him, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Ling Feng: "..."
After the awkward moment, he chuckled, "We could be considered friends, after all. Wouldn’t you miss everyone when you leave?"
"Of course I would miss them, but you can forget it. I’m not interested in you!" Feng Ling said indifferently.
Ling Feng was at a loss for words.
Even with a thick skin, he couldn’t bear such blunt remarks, so he was stunned for a moment and didn’t know what to say.
Feng Ling glanced at him, then turned her head back and said, "If you’re busy, you can go first. You don’t need to be there when I leave tomorrow. I’ll just take a car on my own!"
Ling Feng: "How could that be okay? I should find someone to take you, go directly to the provincial capital, then take a plane to leave."
"It’s fine, everyone’s busy, and I’m used to being on my own. It’s no problem!" Feng Ling said calmly.
Ling Feng: "..."
After that, he didn’t know what to say.
Feng Ling also stopped looking at him and continued to swing her legs and watched the trees in the distance, not knowing what was so interesting about them.
After a while, feeling uninterested, Ling Feng stood up and said, "Then I’ll go down, I have some business to take care of later!"
"Hmm."
Feng Ling only uttered one word, which served as her reply.
Although she appeared very indifferent, after Ling Feng climbed down the tree, she stopped looking into the distance. Her gaze stayed on Ling Feng, watching him until he and Ling Yao left the First Layer of Heaven.
Once Ling Feng’s figure had disappeared, Feng Ling lifted her head and sighed softly.
Back in the hotel room, Ling Feng introduced Ling Yao to Lin Huaqiang.
"Wow, your sister is really young, looks like she’s not even twenty!" Lin Huaqiang said, somewhat surprised.
Ling Feng kept silent in his heart and didn’t know how to explain, so he just smiled.
Ling Yao had been in contact with everyone in the Nine Heavens for a while and had learned a lot about dealing with people. She chuckled now and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Lin. Lin Xue is your daughter, right?"
"Yes, she is. Did she cause you any trouble over there?" Lin Huaqiang asked with a smile.
Ling Yao smiled, "Not at all. Lin Xue is so adorable; she’s very popular wherever she goes!"
"That’s good to hear. I should thank you for taking care of her," Lin Huaqiang said with a laugh.
Ling Feng watched dumbfounded as the two struck up a conversation, feeling left out and quite uncomfortable!
After exchanging a few words, Lin Huaqiang’s phone rang, and he answered, "How’s it going?"
"Okay, got it!"
After hanging up, he looked up at Ling Feng and Ling Yao, "You two go into the bedroom. The guests have arrived downstairs!"
"Okay!"
Ling Feng nodded and turned to enter the bedroom.
It was Ling Yao’s first time in a hotel room. She had been dying to curiously look around before, and now that it was just her and Ling Feng, she quickly asked in a low voice, "What exactly is this place? Is it Lin Xue’s home?"
