"How do you know Ji Feng?"

Ma Hongjun asked.

Seeing Ye Lingling only looking at him coldly.

She did not offer an answer.

Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together and said, "Heh, don't you think that mysterious figure who suddenly vanished when your grandfather was being hunted down looks a lot like Ji Feng?"

Ye Lingling: "???"

The other party had suddenly said something strange.

And it was related to her grandfather's death.

Ye Lingling's cold heart skipped a beat.

Did this person mean that Ji Feng was involved with the Martial Soul Hall forces that hunted down her grandfather back then?

"Nonsense!"

Ye Lingling snapped.

For the first time, she spoke in front of a strange man.

She left him with a cold remark.

"Hey, Fatty, I'm telling the truth!"

"Think about it carefully!"

Fatty looked quite comical.

Watching Ye Lingling's retreating figure.

He jumped up and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Blacksmith Shop.

Ji Feng opened the blacksmith panel.

[Ding]

[Congratulations, Blacksmith skill has leveled up to Level 4: Blacksmith Master]

[Skill crafting unlocked]

[Currently craftable skills: Hexagram of Peace: Longevity]

[Summoner skill: Teleport]

"Crafting skills?"

Seeing the system prompt.

Ji Feng's eyes lit up.

As a veteran player of Honor of Kings.

He naturally knew.

This [Hexagram of Peace: Longevity] was the ultimate ability of the support hero, Ming Shiyin.

And the Teleport skill was an essential ability for any summoner.

It was the most convenient way to travel long distances.

With a thought in his mind.

He selected the two skills that needed to be crafted.

[Hexagram of Peace: Longevity]: Casts the ultimate ability on the currently linked target (teammate or enemy), producing the following effects:

On teammates: Restores their health.

On enemies: Deals true damage.

The user consumes an equal (or proportional) amount of health (but will not die from the consumption).

Within 10 seconds after casting the ultimate, Ming Shiyin restores 5% of his lost health every second.

Teleport: After waiting in place for 3 seconds, teleports the user to the side of a designated Spirit Master.

[Ding]

[Crafting hero skills is a high-difficulty operation for your current Blacksmith skill level]

[Upon completion, you will enter a weakened state for two hours]

Ji Feng was just about to craft them.

When he saw this system prompt.

"I'd better craft the Teleport skill first."

Teleport, as a Summoner spell.

It can be used at any time.

And it has no cooldown.

Ji Feng felt it was best to craft the Teleport skill first.

[Craft Skill]

[Teleport]

[Confirm crafting?]

"Yes!"

Without hesitation.

Ji Feng decisively chose yes!

A few seconds passed.

[Skill crafting successful]

[You have obtained the Summoner spell: Teleport!]

Whoosh!

The next second.

An item.

Appeared in his hand.

At this moment.

He only needed to crush it.

And simultaneously designate anyone.

He would be instantly teleported to that person's side after three seconds.

Extremely convenient.

"In this way, if I have an acquaintance to serve as a coordinate."

"Travel will be much more convenient."

"I won't have to spend time on the road anymore."

The speed compared to a Titled Douluo.

Would be nothing but faster.

Thinking of this.

Ji Feng wondered if he should test it out.

Suddenly, he thought of Ye Lingling.

In this world.

She was the only one he had any connection with.

Therefore.

He chose to use the Teleport skill.

[Please select a teleportation destination]

Suddenly.

Subtitles appeared in the light before his eyes.

"Ye Lingling!"

No need for mental focus.

He used voice command directly.

1 second.

2 seconds.

3 seconds!

Whoosh!

The next moment.

When he opened his eyes again.

Ji Feng appeared beside a flower bed on a pavilion.

Before him.

The figure of a young girl appeared.

Ye Lingling was wearing purple today.

She was holding a watering can, tending to her flowers.

Seeing someone suddenly appear before her.

She was nearly startled out of her wits.

Once she saw who it was.

Ye Lingling's eyes lit up.

She moved her lips.

Wanting to say something.

Ji Feng smiled faintly: "Busy?"

"You... you..."

Ye Lingling seemed to have been aloof for too long.

She was not very good at communicating with others.

Especially with the opposite sex.

Ji Feng understood what she meant.

He said: "It's nothing, carry on with your work; this is my new soul skill."

He did not know how to explain it to Ye Lingling.

After a moment of thought, he said to her.

"..." Ye Lingling blinked her eyes.

Her gaze remained fixed tightly upon him.

It was unclear whether she had understood or not.

The next second.

Ji Feng crushed the Teleportation Crystal.

His figure vanished from the spot once again.

As if he had never been there at all.

"Clang!"

When Ji Feng disappeared from the spot.

The watering can in Ye Lingling's hand.

Slipped from her grasp.

And crashed onto the ground.

Her cold, clear expression froze.

As if she had seen a ghost.

She appeared somewhat flustered.

Her palms were covered in sweat.

"It was him..."

"How could Ji Feng disappear into thin air?"

"It looked similar to the figure of Ghost Douluo..."

"The difference is, when Ghost Douluo disappears, it is a cloud of black mist, whereas with Ji Feng, it was a white light..."

Thinking to herself.

Ye Lingling felt a surge of anxiety.

Her entire being became dazed.

"Ji Feng and your grandfather's death, perhaps..."

The fat man's words echoed in her mind.

Although he was very unserious.

Connecting it to Ji Feng's bizarre appearance just now.

And his equally bizarre disappearance.

Her small hands tightened involuntarily.

Her entire face turned deathly pale.

Her grandfather's death.

Had always been a source of pain in Ye Lingling's heart.

The cause of her miserable childhood.

It kept her from forming bonds with others.

That was why her personality was so cold and distant now, unwilling to get close to anyone.

Yet, with great difficulty, she had finally met Ji Feng.

He made her feel less resistant.

But now, she found herself linked to someone from the Martial Soul Hall.

Is it him?

What exactly is his relationship with the Ghost Charm Family?

Thinking of this, Ye Lingling bit her lip.

In her heart, she had already arrived at the worst possible conclusion.

Knock! Knock!

Rose Hotel.

The room door was rapped upon.

Ji Feng went to open the Space Gate.

"It's you?"

The moment he opened the door, seeing Ye Lingling's cold yet stunningly beautiful face, Ji Feng was somewhat surprised: "I just went to the Blacksmith Shop to do some forging, the room is a bit messy."

He didn't stop to wonder why Ye Lingling had come to find him.

After all, in this world, blacksmithing was quite dull.

Having a beauty drop by

made things feel a little less tedious.

Besides, his relationship with Ye Lingling wasn't exactly distant.

"I'm a bit tired, make yourself at home."

Ji Feng said casually, walking into the bedroom.

The door was left ajar.

Knowing Ye Lingling was cold

and didn't like to talk, Ji Feng didn't have the spare energy to strike up a conversation.

He returned to the bedroom, withdrew his soul power, and went straight to sleep!

Half an hour later, the door left ajar

was pushed open gently.

A figure walked in.

It was the young girl in the purple dress, Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling was like the Nine-Heart Begonia, cold and elegant, untouchable.

At this moment, her eyes were locked firmly onto Ji Feng on the bed.

An unusual gaze

made her entire demeanor appear even colder.

Her lips moved, her eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently at Ji Feng on the bed.

"Is it him?"

"The man who killed my father?"

Ye Lingling asked herself in her heart.

In her hand.

At some unknown moment, a dagger had appeared.

The blade was quenched in a poisonous light.
