Chapter 961: Being Watched
After returning to the hotel, Ling Feng spent some time preparing the Teleportation Array.
After completing it, he teleported to Nine Heavens and met with Ling Yao, Long Xiaoyu, and others.
Upon meeting, Ling Feng immediately asked, "What’s the matter? Why did you want to go check things out?"
"Did you bring back that rope?" Ling Yao asked.
"I didn’t bring it, you said you wanted to go, right? So I left it in the hotel!" Ling Feng said.
Ling Yao gave him a sideways glance, "If you had brought it back, we wouldn’t need to go, let’s go check it out now!"
After speaking, she pulled Long Xiaoyu along and left, and Lin Xue followed too.
Ling Feng helplessly shook his head and followed the girls back to the hotel through teleportation.
The rope was lying on the coffee table; Ling Yao and Long Xiaoyu went up to pick it up, each holding one end and studying it closely.
Ling Feng and Lin Xue didn’t speak, quietly watching the two, waiting for them to say something.
After a moment, Ling Yao lifted her head, "When you met them, did you ask what this rope is called?"
"They said it themselves, it’s called Immortal Binding Rope!" replied Ling Feng after some thought.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ling Yao and Long Xiaoyu exchanged glances and unanimously said, "It really is this thing!"
"What’s up? You guys know about this thing?" asked Ling Feng.
Ling Yao nodded, "This rope has existed for a long time; it was brought out by someone during the divine war era!"
"Damn, it has such an ancient history? This is an antique!"
Ling Feng exclaimed, looking at the rope he had cut, feeling somewhat distressed, "By having it end up like this, can’t it be sold for money now?"
"Who would know to buy it even if you sell it?"
Ling Yao glanced at him, then added, "Where is the person who was using this rope?"
Ling Feng: "Dead!"
"Dead? You killed him?" Ling Yao’s voice rose an octave!
"Yeah, I didn’t know you cared so much about a rope!" Ling Feng shrugged innocently.
"Pity, otherwise we could have found out who learned to make this thing," sighed Ling Yao.
Catching something in her words, Ling Feng asked, "So, this thing isn’t an antique?"
"Of course not, this is just a replica of the Immortal Binding Rope, it doesn’t have even one-tenth of the abilities of the real one!" said Ling Yao.
Lin Xue heard this and clicked her tongue, "A replica already rendered me immobile; if it were a real one, couldn’t it truly bind immortals?"
"Exactly, it could!"
Ling Yao nodded, then looked at Ling Feng, "Did that man say anything before he died?"
"He did mention some things, but it’s a bit complicated; how about we go to the security bureau and talk about it?" Ling Feng suggested.
"Sure, since we’ve come all this way, let’s go check it out!" Ling Yao nodded.
Just as Ling Feng was about to lead them out, he remembered Long Xiaoyu and asked, "That, can you stay here for too long?"
"It’s okay, I’ve adapted quite a bit recently and can stay here for a while even without Spiritual Energy!" Long Xiaoyu said.
"That’s good then, let’s go!"
Ling Feng said, turning around and leading the three girls out the door.
As soon as they reached the hotel lobby, they attracted a crowd!
This was mainly because of Ling Feng and Long Xiaoyu, both of whom looked like fairies descended from heaven, plus their ethereal aura, which drew many people to take out their phones to take pictures, even following them out of the hotel entrance!
Ling Feng was speechless, glancing at Lin Xue who seemed indifferent, then smilingly asked, "What, aren’t you envious of them?"
"Envious? I can’t achieve that look!"
Lin Xue sighed, then smiled, "But it’s okay, once my realm advances, my aura will improve too!"
"Absolutely, you’re also not unattractive; in the future, you can definitely catch up to them!" Ling Feng laughed.
While waiting for the car, the number of onlooking people increased, and some even began to ask if Ling Feng was the manager of Ling Yao and the others, and if they were there for a movie shoot!
To the onlooking bystanders, such beautiful girls must surely be celebrities, just unknown to them!
Ling Feng never felt so flustered before, thinking if only he had known this would happen, he should have arranged for Li Chen to drive them instead!
A few minutes later, a taxi arrived, and Ling Feng quickly hailed it, helping the three girls into the car.
He then sat in the front passenger seat and gave the driver the address.
The driver was a bit perplexed and after starting the car, turned to look at Ling Feng, "Don’t all celebrities have their own cars? Why are you taking a taxi?"
"The car broke down!"
Ling Feng didn’t know how to explain, so he just went along with it, which was easier!
After more than ten minutes, the car arrived at the location of the security bureau.
This place was on the outskirts, a small farmhouse, with a "Rural Pleasures" sign hanging at the entrance, but the light below it showed the words "Temporarily Closed."
Ling Feng stepped in and immediately saw Li Chen.
"Boss, you finally arrived, I was just about to call you!"
Li Chen hurriedly came up to greet him, then saw Ling Yao and Long Xiaoyu following in.
The young man immediately went slack-jawed, entering a half-stupefied state.
Seeing this, Ling Feng waved his hand in front of him, "Hey, gone dumb? What’s so urgent that you needed to call me?"
"It’s urgent for sure, that old man’s corpse was brought back and it underwent corpse transformation!" Li Chen finally regained his composure with an embarrassed smile.
"Damn, is everything alright?" Ling Feng was startled and quickly asked.
"It’s okay, it’s been taken care of, Ye Qian knows a bit of Maoshan Taoist Magic, she used a talisman to burn him!" Li Chen said.
"Good that no one was hurt, the guy died and still turned into a zombie?"
Ling Feng scratched his head, and followed Li Chen to the back.
They walked through the back hall and came to a small courtyard and then into a room, Li Chen pressed a button, and a modern huge office space appeared in front of Ling Feng.
The front looked like a shabby house converted into a restaurant, with a totally different scene in the back, which was indeed very concealed.
After entering the office area, Li Chen took Ling Feng and the others to the office.
There was just one person inside, around fifty years old, with sharp and imposing brows slanting into his temples.
"This is our division chief, Zhao Jianguo," Li Chen introduced.
Ling Feng nodded to Zhao Jianguo, "Chief Zhao, sorry to keep you waiting!"
"It’s alright, these three ladies are the ’grandmas’ you mentioned?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
"Err..."
Ling Feng suddenly felt awkward, having spoken in anger previously, he didn’t expect Li Chen would relay it after returning, nor that Zhao Jianguo would bring it up directly in front of Ling Yao and the others!
Seeing Ling Yao glaring at him, Ling Feng could only smile wryly, "Yes, they are all my friends, and they are also very interested in what happened today, so they came to have a look!"
