16. An Unexpected Encounter~ / 17. At Every Turn??

For a moment, Ling Luoluo simply nodded shyly, looking very bashful and a little embarrassed, just as Ling Xiaoyu had described—well-behaved, cute, and innocent.

However, Ling Feng had no idea what surprises his decision would bring him later.

Ling Xiaoyu was naturally very happy after Ling Feng agreed.

"Luo Luo, call me 'brother' first. You two should get along well from now on."

"Ling... Brother Ling Feng..."

Ling Luoluo swallowed her words, her face flushed, her head lowered, tears welling in her eyes, her small hands tugging at the hem of her skirt. Ling Feng found it difficult to describe the tender, shy, and pitying feeling she evoked.

After having breakfast together, Ling Luoluo still didn't know how to talk to Ling Feng, while Ling Feng seemed quite casual, as if he didn't dislike her because of what had happened earlier.

"Wan Qing was taken away by her family yesterday, and I didn't have a chance to tell you last night," Ling Xiaoyu said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, she called me," Ling Feng nodded in reply.

"Xiaofeng, your sister might have to leave for a while, and probably won't be back for a long time. After that, Luo Luo might have to live with you. If you think that's okay, I'll still send you your living expenses every month as usual."

Ling Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up. Thinking about her future plans, she decided not to hide it anymore. After all, Ling Luoluo was Ling Feng's younger sister, so nothing serious should happen.

"Is Sister Xiaoyu leaving too?"

"Ah?"

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Ling Xiaoyu was a little confused. Why did he add "also"?

Of course, she didn't think too much about it at the moment, and simply nodded in understanding to Ling Feng.

"Didn't Xiaoyu just finish the college entrance exam? With such good grades, she must have already decided which prestigious university to apply to, right? Take good care of yourself at school, and come back when you have time during the holidays. Don't worry too much; I'll take good care of her until you come back."

"I..." Ling Xiaoyu was a little confused by what Ling Feng said. Although she had been admitted to the Yanjing First University, she had no intention of applying.

Ling Xiaoyu currently needs to stay in Linzhuo. At the same time, due to the increasingly busy affairs of the Magic Association, she estimates that she will not be able to return for a while and will be busy for some time.

This morning, another strange incident caused quite a stir in the Blue Garden District. It's said that at least ten people have been hospitalized, and the scene was desolate.

According to the investigators at the time, this was not a simple car accident, but a premeditated murder, and the two most key figures had completely disappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air! It was simply unbelievable!

In short, the area has been completely sealed off by the police, and no one is allowed to enter except for relevant personnel.

Even those who witnessed the incident last night have been asked to give their statements, but so far, no useful clues have been obtained.

Many people online have speculated whether the incident is related to magic. After all, such a supernatural event that defies scientific common sense seems to be explainable only by magic. The newly established national Paranormal Events Investigation Group has contacted the Magic Association in Linzhou City for assistance.

Although two people had already gone there, they still hadn't obtained any valuable information.

Ling Xiaoyu received a message from the association members in the morning indicating that although they did not obtain any directly useful information, they did find traces of a battle in Zhishan Park by the roadside!

They then investigated the Severing Scar at the truck's location and discovered an even more startling piece of information: a knife mark covering the entire truck body! It's currently speculated that it was severed in half by High Tier sword technique used by Astral Mark Girl!

However, after reviewing all the nearby surveillance footage, they found no clues about the Astral Mark Girl!

What Ling Feng is unaware of at this moment is that because she deceived those patrol officers last night, no one can connect the problem to her, and the case naturally has no way of being solved.

After all, they wouldn't associate such a bizarre car accident with a female student who looks like she's still in high school.

This doesn't make any sense, does it? It's unlikely that this high school girl just happened to be passing by, saw a driver recklessly driving by, and then, without a word, ran over the truck, cutting it in two? And then chased after the driver and disappeared?

No normal person would think that way!!

Neither of them said anything more. Ling Feng cleared the plates and then volunteered to wash the dishes.

When Ling Luoluo saw this, she went to help, leaving Ling Xiaoyu unsure whether to admire her or feel helpless.

Ling's parents didn't get back until 3 a. m. last night, and they're probably asleep in bed right now. Ling Xiaoyu could hear their snoring as she passed by the bedroom door; they seemed to be sleeping quite soundly!

After tidying up a bit, Ling Feng sent a message to Su Xiaoxiao, saying he would arrive around 8 or 9 o'clock.

Of course, there was one more person this time.

After learning the details, Su Xiaoxiao was even happier! She loved having lots of people around and a lively atmosphere!!

Chapter Sixteen: An Unexpected Encounter~

Not long after, Ling Feng and Ling Luoluo walked out the door together under Ling Xiaoyu's loving gaze.

They didn't exchange a single word until they got into the car together.

Ling Feng himself didn't seem to feel anything, probably because of his personality. He was used to awkward silences, and those who knew him well knew that he was a conversation killer.

It wasn't that Ling Feng was cold-hearted; it was just that sometimes he didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, Ling Luoluo finally couldn't help but speak first. If she didn't say something, she might suffocate!

"Ling... Ling Feng, I didn't mean to that night."

"Oh? I've long forgotten about that."

Hearing Ling Luoluo's words, Ling Feng seemed completely unconcerned and even shrugged as he spoke, indicating that he truly didn't "take it to heart."

Ling Luoluo was initially a little worried, but seeing Ling Feng like this, she finally felt relieved. Ling Luoluo had thought that Ling Feng was still angry about that incident, but he wasn't.

Thinking about this, a strange feeling arose in her heart, and her earlobes involuntarily turned red. She hadn't thought so much about it when she did it, but now, looking back...

So shy!

Thinking that Ling Feng had forgiven her, Ling Luoluo suddenly threw herself into Ling Feng 'Ling Feng arms, but her action startled him.

Girl, are you really that informal?

Nestled in his arms, Ling Feng didn't push the person away, but he looked somewhat annoyed.

Ling Feng hadn't expected Ling Luoluo to actually believe that he had forgiven her and let bygones be bygones. He just wanted to say one thing...

How is that possible??

Ling Feng would never forget that night when he was chased for more than a dozen streets, almost to the point of exhaustion, and the incident even made it into that day's morning paper! His public image was completely ruined!

Thankfully, the photos in the report were blurry, so you couldn't directly see the person's face, otherwise Ling Feng would have been socially dead that day! Damn it!

The taxi driver, who was driving, saw this scene in his rearview mirror and couldn't help but complain.

"It's so great to be young, you can go on dates with your girlfriend~ Unlike when I was young, I brushed past a girl countless times, even wore out my clothes, but nothing ever happened!"

After finishing speaking, the driver seemed to still have more to say, his arm veins bulging, and he gripped the steering wheel even tighter!

"Ah~ it's all fleeting. Since you're heartless, why should I be interested?"

"Ah?"

Ling Feng felt speechless. Does being with someone of the opposite sex automatically mean they have a girlfriend? What kind of logic is that?

Hearing what followed, Ling Feng was completely confused. What was this all about? Was it another tragic story?

"Cough... Uncle, you're awesome! You have a story, I have wine..."

When they got into the car, the driver was still muttering to himself. Ling Feng didn't know what he was talking about, but he figured it was none of his business, so he didn't pay much attention and remained quite indifferent.

Ling Luoluo stayed nestled in Ling Feng's arms the whole time, obediently curled up like a lazy little cat, doing as she pleased, ignoring what Ling Feng and the driver were talking about, only concerned with savoring this warmth that came 18 years late.

Ling Feng was completely bewildered and didn't understand what she was saying. He grabbed Ling Luoluo's hand and prepared to leave. When he saw the Cloud Heaven Grand Hotel, which was dozens of stories high, he could only sigh in despair.

Then, thinking about the black card he had already placed in the Destiny Space, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter anymore.

He's very confident!

Indeed, having money in your pocket gives you confidence!

"Hey miss, do you know how to get to the men's restroom?"

As the two were heading towards the hotel, a voice suddenly came from beside them. Ling Feng felt it was somewhat familiar, so he subconsciously glanced over, but when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Ping

What is he doing here?

"The men's restroom? It's right next to the women's restroom."

Beside the garden pond, a stylishly dressed woman stood under a parasol, waiting for someone. When she saw Zhao Ping asking for directions, she became somewhat impatient.

Judging from his appearance, he's just a naive student; it's unbelievable that anyone would dare to approach him.

"Oh, this..."

Zhao Ping was a little confused. Then, thinking he was being clever, he wanted to ask where the women's restroom was. But as soon as he thought of that, he stopped himself.

Judging from the young lady's rather bad temper, Zhao Ping anticipated that he would probably be scolded for being immoral or even verbally abused, so he didn't ask any questions!

Zhao Ping hadn't expected himself to be so incredibly clever. After a moment of smug satisfaction, he changed his approach and asked the question.

"Excuse me... where is the men's restroom next to the women's restroom?"

"Smack!"

"Are you fucking crazy?!"

Before Zhao Ping could even chuckle to himself, the fashionable woman slapped his face with her Hermes bag, hurling insults at him, before turning and walking away without looking back. She probably thought that even exchanging a single word with Zhao Ping would be beneath her.

But Zhao Ping was dumbfounded...

How so?

That doesn't make sense.

Zhao Ping was completely baffled. He was certain he had calculated everything perfectly, so how could it have failed? Could it be that he had overlooked some flaw?

"Zhao Ping."

"Don't talk to me, I'm annoyed..." Zhao Ping said dejectedly, but only for a moment before he suddenly raised his head again.

"Um?"

"Ling Feng?? What are you doing here? And who's this next to you... Holy crap?! I never thought you were this kind of person! Do you have to change partners every day to be satisfied? Aren't single people cooperating?"

When Zhao Ping saw Ling Feng, he pointed at Ling Luoluo and started cursing at him. Ling Luoluo immediately got angry when she heard this.

"What are you doing! Don't you dare insult my brother! Do you believe I can make you bedridden for half a month right now!"

Ling Luoluo stood in front of Ling Feng, one hand on her hip, and pointed at Zhao Ping with the other, cursing him as well. Zhao Ping was stunned when he saw this.

"Holy crap! Ling Feng, tell me today, just how many sisters do you have?!"

"We almost made it! By the way, what are you doing here?"

Ling Luoluo rushed out to speak for him, Ling Feng suddenly felt a strange sense of emotion, but he still insisted that business was more important.

"Me? Hehe, Miss Su invited me here today, and I'm..." Zhao Ping stopped mid-sentence, then froze, realizing a possibility. He stammered, "Could it be... she invited more than just me??"

Seeing Zhao Ping's incredulous expression, Ling Feng was speechless for him. Under normal circumstances, would a girl possibly ask you out to a hotel alone?

How could that be!

Unless it's that kind of relationship, don't even think about it! Besides, she's such a pretty and cute girl; you're probably just dreaming!

Chapter Seventeen: Every Moment

After entering the hotel, Ling Feng and his group inquired at the front desk and then took the elevator upstairs together.

After Ling Feng and his group left, the receptionist seemed somewhat bewildered.

What are these two men and one woman doing here? Did they meet up with someone? Is it some kind of group activity? And that boy, he looks vaguely familiar...

After all, it was a high-end hotel. The receptionist only had a few random thoughts before turning back to her work.

The elevator ascended to who-knows-how-many floors before the group finally found the presidential suite where Su Xiaoxiao was.

Zhao Ping was getting impatient. He hadn't found a toilet yet and was about to burst. This was the perfect opportunity to relieve himself!

When Ling Feng arrived at the door, he felt that the environment was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that Luo Xiyan had brought him here last time, and the location seemed to be the room next door!

Ling Feng was a little alarmed, but thankfully, the hotel room was very soundproof. If he had been discovered, he would have had no way to explain himself!

While Zhao Ping was pondering, he knocked on the door twice, and in less than five seconds, the door opened!

That speed is outrageous! If she hadn't been waiting behind the door, could she have moved this fast? Or is it magic?? Surely Su Xiaoxiao isn't Magical Girls too!

How is that possible?!

"Ah, Ling Feng, you're here! Come in, come in!"

Su Xiaoxiao peeked her head out from behind the door, saw Ling Feng and the other two, and quickly waved to them, signaling them to come in.

Since Su Xiaoxiao had said so, Zhao Ping naturally couldn't be polite. He greeted her and rushed inside to find the restroom.
