Chapter 1967 - 1805: Lending a Hand (2)
Of course, it’s two rooms.
After taking a bath, Song Yun took a short rest and then intended to bid farewell to Dongfang Yun.
He knocked on Dongfang Yun’s door.
The door opened, and Dongfang Yun stood at the doorway, having already bathed and changed into a different outfit.
Dongfang Yun asked, "What’s up?"
Song Yun said, "I’m planning to leave, so I’ve come to say goodbye to you."
Hearing this, a trace of reluctance flashed in Dongfang Yun’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She didn’t rush to say goodbye to Song Yun but fell into silence.
Seeing Dongfang Yun not speaking, Song Yun laughed and said, "Could it be that spending time together has made you fall in love with me? If you’re unwilling to part with me, I can take you home with me."
Dongfang Yun was already accustomed to Song Yun’s loose tongue. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don’t be in such a hurry to leave; I want to ask you to stay."
Song Yun chuckled, walked into the room, slammed the door shut, jumped onto the bed, and patted the spot next to him: "Come on."
Dongfang Yun couldn’t comprehend his actions, looking puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Song Yun said, "Didn’t you ask me to stay?"
Saying this, Song Yun started undressing.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yun was taken aback, exclaiming, "What... what are you doing?"
Song Yun stopped his actions and looked at Dongfang Yun: "Didn’t you ask me to stay, implying you wanted to do that...?"
Dongfang Yun finally understood Song Yun’s intention, blushed, grabbed the desk lamp, and threw it at Song Yun, cursing, "Pervert."
Song Yun caught the lamp steadily, pouted, and said, "You stood at the doorway with an alluring demeanor asking me to stay; was that not a hint? How come now you’re blaming me?"
Upon hearing Song Yun, Dongfang Yun realized that her words indeed had some implications.
Yet she wouldn’t admit it, glared at Song Yun, and said irritably, "That’s not what I meant. You did it on purpose; you’re being a rogue."
Song Yun sprang up from the bed and patted his chest: "I am upright; how could I possibly flirt with a virtuous woman?"
Dongfang Yun furrowed her brows, feeling embarrassed to argue further with Song Yun, quickly changing the subject: "I wanted you to stay to ask for your help."
Hearing this, Song Yun felt somewhat puzzled.
Dongfang Yun is a disciple of the Changshan Sect, and judging from Lin Jun’s words, she clearly holds a high position within the sect.
If that’s the case, is there anything she can’t handle?
Even if she can’t handle it, she could ask for help from her elders in the sect; why would she seek assistance from Song Yun?
Despite his curiosity, Song Yun didn’t ask further.
He considers Lin Jun a friend, and naturally, he would risk everything for a friend.
As long as it’s not against heaven and earth, if a friend asks for help, he’ll definitely support without hesitation.
And Lin Jun is a heroine; what she does will never be against heaven and earth.
Song Yun looked at Lin Jun and asked, "What kind of help do you need?"
Lin Jun’s eyes flickered slightly and said in a grave tone, "Break someone out of prison."
...
The Shen Family.
Conference room.
The Shen Family members attending the meeting mostly felt joyful; the atmosphere should have been harmonious.
But at this moment, none of them were smiling.
Because Shen Kunhu, the second eldest of the Shen Family, had his son-in-law Qian Lei killed by someone.
Shen Kunhu’s face was ashen, his gaze filled with intense murderous intent, looking as unpleasant as could be.
Seeing this, no one dared to touch that nerve.
Bam.
Suddenly, Shen Kunhu slammed the table, shouting, "No matter who killed Qian Lei, they made my daughter a widow, and I will take their life."
"But second brother, you mentioned the surveillance and recording materials at the Azure Dragon Mountain camp were all destroyed. We have no information on the culprit; how can we avenge him?"
Shen Kunhu said solemnly, "Qian Lei reached mid-SS level, very powerful. To kill him, the perpetrator must be from the Hermit Realm. I must investigate this thoroughly and avenge Qian Lei!"
"Second brother is right, Qian Lei risked his life to transmit a scan of half the map for our Shen Family, which was a great contribution. Now that he’s dead, no matter what, we should avenge him."
Hearing this, Shen Kunhu felt slightly appeased, telling everyone, "I must thoroughly investigate this matter, and make the culprit pay the price."
Bam, bam, bam.
Sitting at the head, Family Head Shen Kunpeng tapped the table three times with his fingers.
Everyone quieted down, turning their gaze to him.
He hadn’t spoken the whole time, merely staring at a piece of paper in his hand.
On that paper was a map.
Now, he put the map down, a look of delight in his eyes, telling everyone, "I’ve examined it; the map is real."
Immediately, the Shen Family members became excited.
"It’s indeed real!"
"Haha, with this half of the map, our hope of finding the Peach Blossom Land has greatly increased."
"It’s more than greatly increased; the map inside Shen Shen’s token will soon be found. By then, combining the two maps, we will surely locate the Peach Blossom Land."
Seeing everyone’s excitement, Shen Kunhu felt somewhat displeased.
After all, they gained the map, but he lost a son-in-law.
Moreover, an outstanding son-in-law, whom he favored even more than his daughter.
Seeing his face darken, Shen Kunpeng looked at him and said, "Second brother, prioritize the bigger picture. For now, set aside Qian Lei’s vendetta. You’re responsible for the Shen Family’s intelligence work, which is crucial. Your main task now is to receive the signal from the token Shen Shen took as soon as possible."
Shen Kunhu’s face changed as he was about to argue, wanting to prioritize revenge.
Suddenly, an aura emanated from Shen Kunpeng, the aura of an SSS-level power.
