Chapter 761: Night Talk
Chapter 761: Night Talk
After returning to the county seat, Ling Feng drove straight to the hotel where Zhang He was staying.
Looking at the time, he realized it was two o’clock in the morning, and he guessed that Zhang He was probably cuddling with his wife in sleep, so he didn’t call him. Instead, he glared at Li Yun’er and the others and ordered, "Follow me inside!"
Nobody dared to object, and they followed him with their heads bowed and eyes downcast.
Once in the lobby, Ling Feng approached the front desk, "I want to inquire, is Bai Ling still working now?"
The front desk clerk looked up, saw it was Ling Feng, and instantly smiled, "Mr. Ling, are you looking for our new general manager for something?"
"Nothing much, I just want to arrange a suite. I’ve got a few friends who need to stay here!" Ling Feng scratched his head.
"Oh, I see, I’ll set that up for you!"
Without another word, the clerk bent down and started working on the computer.
Sensing something unusual, Ling Feng curiously asked, "Wait, I don’t need to register or pay?"
"Mr. Ling, don’t you know? Miss Bai has said that you are a super VIP of our hotel, and you can enjoy the top suite service without needing to register when you come!" the clerk said.
Ling Feng: "..."
Although it was unexpected, the feeling of being held in such high esteem was very exhilarating!
So, Ling Feng chuckled and, after receiving the room card from the clerk and saying thanks, he turned around and led Li Yun’er and the others upstairs.
During the elevator ride, Li Yun’er looked up at Ling Feng, "You, you won’t, bully me, will you?"
"Hm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback. Seeing her evasive gaze, he was at a loss for words!
"What kind of nonsense TV dramas have you been watching, what are you thinking?"
Ling Feng was somewhat exasperated and threw the room card to Brother Gao, "You take your misses to the room. How you settle in is your business, but if anyone dares to sneak away tonight, I’ll chase you down to Wanshou County tomorrow!"
"Uh, Mr. Ling, there’s no need to get worked up. We are here to attend Ling Corporation’s listing ceremony tomorrow anyway, so naturally, we won’t wander off!" Brother Gao said apologetically with a smile.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng paused for a moment, then looked down at Li Yun’er, "Does Fei’er know you’re here?"
"She doesn’t know!"
Li Yun’er quickly raised her head and frantically waved her hands!
The more she acted like this, the more obvious her attempt to cover things up became, and Ling Feng instantly understood.
It seemed that Li Fei’er might know about this situation as well!
Thinking of this, anger rose in Ling Feng’s heart; he thought to himself, Li Fei’er, just you wait. I’ll certainly have to spank your little butt later!
Having seen them into the room, Ling Feng stood in the hallway for a moment. With nowhere else to go, he teleported directly to the Nine Heavens.
He didn’t go anywhere else and went straight into the Second Layer, then arrived at the doorway of Yu Linglong’s stone cottage.
It was utterly silent around him. Ling Feng coughed, "Are you asleep?"
"What is it?" Yu Linglong’s cold voice came through.
Ling Feng, "I want to talk to you about Yang Da and Yang Er."
"..."
The stone cottage fell silent. After a while, Yu Linglong’s faint voice came, "Alright."
With her response, the door of the stone cottage slowly opened, and she walked out wearing a T-shirt and jeans.
Noticing her change of clothes, Ling Feng was momentarily taken aback.
However, he quickly regained his composure and quietly observed Yu Linglong.
"Have a seat."
With a flick of Yu Linglong’s finger, the round stone at the doorway rolled to Ling Feng’s feet, and she herself sat down on another stone.
Ling Feng’s heart stirred, and he slightly narrowed his eyes, "Is this the effect of the Mind Soul Art?"
"Yes, which layer have you reached in your training?" Yu Linglong asked.
"The third layer, I’m not as powerful as you are, capable of controlling objects."
Ling Feng sat down and said.
Yu Linglong nodded: "The third layer, your speed is already very fast. Once you reach the fourth layer, you will be able to produce Divine Sense. With it, you can control objects and detect the environment."
"Reaching the fourth layer will not be easy, it requires a lot of spiritual power, and I’ve always been unable to condense it!" Ling Feng said.
Yu Linglong glanced at him: "You need to figure that out by yourself. I’m not your master, so there’s no need for me to explain it to you!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng, helpless, shook his head: "Alright, regarding Yang Da and Yang Er, I’ve got the latest news about these two. They have already left Huaxia and gone to the Middle East."
"Oh, and then?" Yu Linglong asked.
Ling Feng mused for a moment: "Then it’s that they can’t get the Gate of Heaven and Earth, and now they’re figuring out other ways to open up a space-time passage."
Yu Linglong nodded: "This is all within expectations."
"If they succeed, will the people from your world swarm in?" Ling Feng asked.
"There will be a buffering process initially, but afterwards, it should be so!" Yu Linglong nodded.
Ling Feng looked at her: "What exactly do you want to do? Invade our world?"
Yu Linglong laughed.
Ling Feng had hardly seen her smile, and found it astonishing how beautiful she looked with a smile!
So in that moment, he was somewhat entranced and stood there dumbstruck.
Yu Linglong noticed his gaze and immediately withdrew her smile: "You’ve got quite the imagination. Your world is worthless to us. What is there to invade?"
"Is that so?"
Hearing her belittle the world he lived in, Ling Feng felt annoyed and asked sarcastically, "If that is the case, then why did you go to such lengths to collect Spirit Stones?"
His words choked Yu Linglong, who after a moment of contemplation retorted: "So what, the Spirit Stones from your side are just as rare. Besides you, I haven’t seen anyone else who can produce chunks of high-grade Spirit Stones!"
"I’m not going to argue with you. If it’s not for invasion, then what exactly is the reason you came here?" Ling Feng asked.
"It’s to find someone!" Yu Linglong said.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Find who?"
Yu Linglong cast a glance at him, "Sorry, I can’t tell you that!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes: "Damn!"
After saying that, he looked at Yu Linglong: "So, am I unable to stop Yang Da and Yang Er after all?"
"Do you want the truth?"
Yu Linglong looked at him.
"Of course!"
"With your current strength, you should be able to stop them in theory, but unfortunately, although you possess an Innate spiritual body, you haven’t made good use of it. It feels almost like a waste of natural resources. The techniques you’ve learned are miscellany, none mastered to the ultimate Peak. It’s almost impossible for you to stop the two of them!"
Yu Linglong talked at length, Ling Feng’s expression growing increasingly sullen.
She was not wrong; he had learned many things but had just scratched the surface in all of them, without truly excelling in any!
So Ling Feng lowered his head, silent.
Yu Linglong did not speak either, just quietly watching him, her eyes calm and undisturbed.
After a long while, Ling Feng suddenly looked up: "Your injuries are healed, right?"
"Ah?"
The question caught Yu Linglong off guard.
