Chapter 1382 - 1385: I’m Going With You (10th Update)
"Are you going to Harbor City now? Do you plan to storm the Wunian Nunnery all by yourself?" Lu Lu was filled with worry. "No way, I’m going with you!"
"Hmm?" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Lu Lu to say such words.
"What’s up? Am I not allowed to be concerned about my little junior brother?" Lu Lu’s words became a bit awkward. "Anyway, you’re not allowed to go alone. Wait for me, I’ll book a plane ticket right away! By the way, which flight did you book?"
As Lu Lu asked, Lin Feng had just received a message from Zhu Xiuyue. After glancing at it, he replied to Lu Lu, "Air China, the 5 PM flight."
"See you at the airport later!" Lu Lu hurriedly said to Lin Feng and then hung up the phone.
Lin Feng looked at the phone somewhat puzzled, feeling a bit surprised by Lu Lu’s determination to accompany him to Harbor City. However, he didn’t see any problem with Lu Lu following along. After all, she was an Innate expert and wouldn’t hold him back, plus she was quite familiar with many things in the cultivation world. With her help, the journey should be a bit easier.
Just after hanging up Lu Lu’s call, Lin Feng received a message from Xiang Wang:
"Boss, I’ve already checked Tang Rou’s boarding information. She boarded a direct flight back to Harbor City two hours ago and is expected to arrive at Harbor City Airport in 12 hours!"
"Got it!" Lin Feng replied briefly to Xiang Wang.
Then, Lin Feng drove towards Xu Yishan’s estate. It was still early for his boarding time, and he wanted to consult Xu Yishan about something.
When Lin Feng arrived at Xu Yishan’s villa estate, he found Xu Yishan watching TV with Xu Jing. The air conditioning was cozy, Xu Yishan wore a comfortable long shirt with a blanket over his knees, looking very leisurely. Seeing Lin Feng’s arrival, both the grandfather-granddaughter duo of the Xu family were quite surprised...
"Lin Feng, why are you suddenly here in such cold weather? Have you had lunch?" Xu Jing asked with some astonishment, seeing Lin Feng looking travel-worn.
"Lin Feng, what’s happened?" Xu Yishan asked in a calm manner after observing Lin Feng’s expression.
"Teacher Xu... Old Xu..." Lin Feng greeted them, then awkwardly faced Xu Yishan, saying, "I have a few words I’d like to speak with you alone."
Xu Jing was startled. Although it wasn’t surprising Lin Feng wasn’t there to find her, she still felt a little let down.
"Okay, I remembered there’s something I haven’t handled; I’ll go take care of it!" Xu Jing shrugged, speaking with a touch of resignation.
Xu Yishan glared at Lin Feng with a somewhat irritated expression, saying angrily, "You little rascal, you’ve upset Little Jing again!"
"Sorry... Old Xu, I really have an urgent matter!" Lin Feng said with a wry smile to Xu Yishan, "I want to ask if you know Master Ciyun?"
"Master Ciyun? The old nun from the Buddhist sect?" Xu Yishan looked at Lin Feng with some surprise, asking in a stern tone, "Why are you asking about her? Have you met her? You little rascal need to be careful; that old nun is no kind character—she’s ruthless and pretends to be a saint all the time, very insidious!"
"I naturally know she’s insidious..." Lin Feng replied with a bitter smile, "I plan to settle accounts with her!"
"Settle accounts with her? Just by yourself?" Xu Yishan cast a glance at Lin Feng, showing a disdainful smile on his face, "Boy, it’s not that I’m not giving you face! Master Ciyun is a freak who’s been famous in the cultivation world for over twenty years. With your skills, you’d probably only get crushed to bits in a fight with her!"
Famous in the cultivation world for more than twenty years... When Lin Feng heard this, his heart chilled. He knew what being a legendary figure for over twenty years meant in the cultivation world that only starts at the Innate Realm!
However, still clinging to a bit of hope, Lin Feng couldn’t help but ask Xu Yishan, "Then, if Old Xu were to face off against that old nun personally, would there be a chance for victory?"
"Me?" Xu Yishan hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be so bold, directly asking him such a question. After thinking for a moment, he said plainly to Lin Feng, "If it’s the current me against Master Ciyun from twenty years ago, maybe there’s a way to fight her to a draw... But I have no assurance of hurting her. Do you know? The Buddhist cultivation techniques are quite peculiar. I don’t know how to explain it to you clearly. All in all, you should understand that many who’ve seen the true face of that old nun, no matter how deep their previous enmity, ultimately choose to forgive her... Do you understand what I mean? Unless absolutely necessary, don’t provoke Master Ciyun. In fact, you should avoid other members of the Buddhist sect too; they’re not to be trifled with!"
Lin Feng’s heart chilled. He understood Xu Yishan’s meaning... Master Ciyun could affect people’s minds!
"I understand Old Xu’s point! Unless absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t proactively provoke them..." Lin Feng said calmly, looking at Xu Yishan.
However, Lin Feng mentally appended that if they dared to provoke him, he wouldn’t hold back!
"This doesn’t feel right! You came rushing here suddenly to ask such questions; you don’t look idle! Say, what’s really happening? Do you need the old man to help you?" Xu Yishan assessed Lin Feng and asked rather blatantly.
"No problem, I’ll head back first!" Lin Feng shook his head, indicating his intent to leave.
"Hmph... you brat..." Xu Yishan suddenly showed anger, "Are you just going to leave like that, not chat with Little Jing?! Dare to be so arrogant, and I won’t let you in next time!"
Lin Feng paused, glancing back at Xu Yishan, feeling somewhat conflicted. He still had a lot to prepare for his trip to Harbor City, and chatting with Xu Jing didn’t seem timely!
"Never mind... Grandpa, you see he’s in such a hurry, who knows what important matters he has; I won’t hold him up!"
Xu Jing’s forgiving voice came from upstairs.
Lin Feng looked up and saw Xu Jing smiling at him.
"Lin Feng, remember your promise; Grandpa and I are coming to your place for New Year’s Eve dinner this year, don’t forget!"
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth as he replied in a relaxed tone, "I won’t dare to forget!"
Afterward, Lin Feng returned to the villa briefly, bid farewell to Xue Qingyi, Su Zining, and Ning Aoxue, then went to the underground chamber of Wu Family Village, took some small items, and finally hurried to Jiangzhou City’s east district international airport, where he met Lu Lu in casual clothing.
"Here, take this!" Lu Lu’s first order of business upon seeing Lin Feng was giving him a stack of yellow paper.
