Chapter 1317 - 1283: I’ll Go With You
As the city lights came on, the streets were bustling, and the crowd was bustling.
In the bustling city of Tokyo, colorful neon lights flickered.
Zhang Xinying sat in the car, watching the buildings and the bustling people recede, her eyes filled with a mystical glow.
Just then, Yuna suddenly spoke from the car’s back seat:
"Is it because of that [Spirit Stone]?"
This seemingly random statement stunned Shangguan Yue sitting beside her:
"Spirit Stone?"
"Is it the stone that Lin Yi took out that day?"
"What’s the matter?"
Zhang Xinying saw Yuna watching her through the rearview mirror.
This time, Zhang Xinying didn’t choose to avoid it but surprisingly nodded her head and said:
"Actually, it’s just that there’s more in my mind now."
"It’s not as complicated as you think."
"Don’t worry, I’m still me."
Zhang Xinying knew Yuna had a special ability to see through human souls.
As Zhang Xinying awakened to her past life’s consciousness, her soul also became much stronger.
This was something Zhang Xinying could clearly feel herself.
Zhang Xinying could understand Yuna’s suspicion as she was also looking out for the team’s well-being.
So Zhang Xinying wasn’t annoyed at Yuna’s repeated probing.
Yuna seemed to comprehend and did not continue to dig deeper, just nodded slightly:
"I understand."
Their conversation left Shangguan Yue confused:
"What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand a word?"
Yuna smiled:
"You’ll find out in the future."
She said this while looking at Zhang Xinying sitting in the passenger seat.
Shangguan Yue could do nothing but accept it:
"Forget it, it’s better if I don’t know."
"Things are pretty good as they are now."
With that said, Shangguan Yue turned her gaze to the bustling city outside the car window, unable to help but sigh:
"Although I don’t like this country,"
"I must admit,"
"The level of luxury here is on par with, if not exceeding, our own country."
At that moment, what Shangguan Yue didn’t know was.
As she candidly spoke her first words, a male driver focused on driving glanced at Shangguan Yue’s silhouette in the rearview mirror.
This scene was just noticed by Zhang Xinying seated in the front passenger seat.
However, the male driver merely smiled gently at Zhang Xinying, as though nothing had happened.
Facing that friendly smile, Zhang Xinying remained expressionless, turning her head back to look out the window again.
Just as Zhang Xinying turned her head.
A sharp look flashed fleetingly in the male driver’s eyes.
Meanwhile, in another car following behind, Zhan Chen and Zhan Tianpeng were talking:
"Silent, have you noticed?"
"It seems there are many people here who shouldn’t belong."
Xiao He, sitting in the passenger seat, was taken aback and then joked:
"Zhan, are you talking about us?"
But Zhan Tianpeng merely smiled ambiguously:
"I think next year’s International Olympics will be quite exciting."
This perplexed Shen Yanhua even more:
"What do you mean?"
Zhan Tianpeng hinted:
"Because there will be many ’supermen’ around."
Shen Yanhua was immediately amused:
"What supermen?"
"Do you think there’d be another Wind like the boss, uh..."
"Forget what I said."
At that moment, Shen Yanhua recalled that little girl.
It seemed Wang Zixin’s abilities were not much behind Lin Yi’s.
That counts as the second one.
Shen Yanhua confirmed in his heart: ’Absolutely, no third one to be found.’
Otherwise, the world would be in chaos.
While Shen Yanhua was lost in his thoughts, Silent Ouyang Jing was looking at Zhan Tianpeng with a curious gaze, using gestures:
’You can see?’
Shen Yanhua saw it but pretended not to, anyway, he didn’t understand.
Zhan Tianpeng nodded and said:
"I don’t know why, I suddenly seem to be able to see it."
Silent gestured suddenly to Zhan Tianpeng:
’Me too.’
’But since I was a child, I’ve been able to see things normal people couldn’t.’
’But after I turned ten, I couldn’t see them anymore.’
’Last time after we completed the Sixth Transformation, this ability seemed to have returned.’
As she gestured, Ouyang Jing’s face bloomed with a radiant smile, continuing to gesture:
’I didn’t expect you could see it too, impressive.’
Looking at Silent Ouyang Jing’s cute appearance, Zhan Tianpeng also showed a knowing smile and said:
"When it comes to this, Boss Feng is still amazing."
"Haven’t you noticed that the people he finds seem unusual?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanhua raised an eyebrow:
"I feel like you’re insulting me."
Zhan Tianpeng couldn’t help but burst into laughter:
"You have to trust our boss’s eye for people."
Then with a slightly teasing expression he said:
"Your ordinariness now is just because you haven’t ’awakened’ yet."
Shen Yanhua, hearing this, felt helpless and amused:
"Alright, just let me go like a fart."
"I’d rather not have this type of comfort."
Watching Shen Yanhua’s awkward state, even Silent Ouyang Jing laughed lightly.
In fact, they all knew Shen Yanhua wasn’t really angry or anything.
Because in this group, they were already as familiar as family.
For Shen Yanhua:
He was content to have transformed from an aimless ordinary person to ’Chains’ Frenzy Warrior in the Hua Country War Zone.
As for Zhan Tianpeng’s talk of ordinariness and extraordinariness, it was all irrelevant to Shen Yanhua.
The group obviously understood Shen Yanhua’s personality, so they could joke around without any reservations.
However, one thing Zhan Tianpeng didn’t mention was.
The sentence "Your ordinariness now is just because you haven’t ’awakened’ yet" was not said casually.
He naturally had an intuition that could perceive imminent fortune or disaster.
Therefore, he could see from Shen Yanhua that his future wasn’t destined to be mediocre.
At the same time, he had long anticipated.
This trip led by Zhang Xinying to Tokyo might not be smooth, potentially hiding dangers.
But ultimately, everything would turn out safe.
And the sole hope comes from the [East].
Without a doubt, this person is none other than Lin Yi, who will arrive soon!
With Zhan Tianpeng’s silence, the atmosphere in the carriage became tranquil.
While everyone in the carriage was lost in their own thoughts, a slender hand suddenly grasped Silent Ouyang Jing’s fair hand.
Silent Ouyang Jing instinctively wanted to pull out from this hand, but failed.
Silent Ouyang Jing annoyedly glared at Zhan Tianpeng beside him.
But Zhan Tianpeng just smiled unconcernedly:
"No matter when, I’ll protect you."
Shen Yanhua in front heard this and immediately shivered with goosebumps, saying:
"I’ve had my fill of this unexpected dog food, you guys carry on."
...
...
Meanwhile, outside the suburbs of Tokyo, inside a temple hidden deep in the mountains, a long-browed monk was quietly sitting on a cushion, murmuring something.
Suddenly:
"Bang~"
The tightly closed main door of the hall was abruptly opened.
A tall figure stood against the moonlight, glaring viciously at the monk who seemed unaware of it, sternly saying:
"Kong Jian, this is your last chance to tell us the whereabouts of the young lady."
"Otherwise, tonight I’ll turn this place to ashes."
Perhaps having heard something important, the monk’s murmuring came to an abrupt halt.
After a few seconds of pause, the monk, as if understanding something, continued to "murmur" the scriptures.
Seeing the monk’s attitude, the uninvited man suddenly said:
"Kong Jian, I’m sorry!"
Finished speaking, he slowly retreated.
At this moment, the temple that was only flickering with a few candle lights suddenly brightened!
Several radiant lights akin to the sun completely exposed the hidden temple in the mountain to the spotlights.
In front of the temple courtyard, as the man waved his hand to signal.
The next moment.
A group of figures dressed as ninjas began to pour barrels of gasoline with a pungent smell into various corners of the temple.
After completing all these actions, the man took out a box of matches, lighting one:
"Whoosh~"
The man held the match with a slight flame, shouted towards the hall:
"3"
"2"
"..."
"1"
After counting down to "1" with no response from inside the hall.
The man finally lost his last bit of patience, a sinister expression flashing on his face:
"Baka!"
"Then you all go to hell together."
Said, he threw the nearly burnt-out match towards the gasoline puddle nearby.
However, just then, an arrow, at an incredible speed, took the match and vanished into the dense forest beside.
Soon after, a pale-faced woman, supported by a maid, slowly walked out from one side of the hall:
"I’ll go with you."
