The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 292: The Most Difficult Favor to Accept from a Beauty
But Lin Xue knew the rules of her team’s operations.
For secrecy, and not knowing the identity of the artifact’s owner, it was normal to take it away for investigation first.
It’s just that she knew Ling Feng, and it made her a bit embarrassed that her colleague had taken away someone else’s possession.
After hearing her explanation, Ling Feng didn’t think about the Shennong Hoe but curiously asked, "What was that about the energy fluctuation you mentioned?"
"Not sure yet, we only went to investigate because we detected an anomaly there," Lin Xue replied.
Ling Feng, growing more curious, looked into her eyes and earnestly asked, "Do we count as friends?"
Lin Xue paused, glanced at him, and said, "What do you think?"
"If so, I’d like to ask about the specific situation, the time the energy fluctuation occurred, can you tell me?" Ling Feng asked.
"Hm?"
Lin Xue was startled, then looked at him and asked, "Does that have something to do with you?"
"It should, so I want to confirm it," Ling Feng replied with a wry smile and a nod.
"Alright then..."
Without hesitation, Lin Xue relayed the details she’d heard from her colleagues, and Ling Feng immediately understood!
After obtaining the Illusionary Ring and unlocking the Nine Heavens, the Safety Bureau had actually monitored it!
Having confirmed this, and seeing Lin Xue staring at him, Ling Feng hesitated, "This was indeed my doing. I didn’t expect the Safety Bureau to be so efficient and actually detect it!"
"Can I ask what happened?" Lin Xue asked.
"This..."
Ling Feng hesitated again.
The Illusionary Ring, the Nine Heavens, this all seemed too magical to explain, and if he told her, would the Safety Bureau take it away for research?
Seeing his predicament, Lin Xue smiled, "If you don’t want to say it, forget it. I’m not in charge of this situation, so asking is pointless!"
Ling Feng was immediately very moved, "Thank you for your understanding!"
Lin Xue chuckled lightly without speaking, and their gazes met, making the air in the room suddenly somewhat ambiguous.
Realizing this wasn’t right, Ling Feng quickly stood up, "It’s getting late, I should head back!"
As he turned to leave, Lin Xue, feeling an urgency in her heart, blurted out, "Wait!"
After saying it, she subconsciously covered her mouth, her face instantly flushing red!
"Why did I say that, oh my, what was I thinking!"
Lin Xue regretted it enormously, but it was too late to take back her words!
Ling Feng looked back at her, "What’s wrong?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"It’s nothing, it’s just... don’t rush off, would you like something to drink?"
Lin Xue’s eyes flitted about, desperately fishing for a plausible excuse.
Seeing her flustered state, Ling Feng couldn’t help but laugh but still said, "No thanks, it’s late, you should get some rest."
"Okay then, when are you leaving this place?" Lin Xue asked, a faint sense of loss in her eyes.
"I should be here for another two or three days, what about you?" Ling Feng inquired.
"The same for me. If it’s convenient, we could leave together when the time comes," Lin Xue suggested.
"Alright." Ling Feng laughed.
After leaving the Dongfang Hotel, Ling Feng didn’t immediately hail a taxi. Instead, he wandered aimlessly through the streets for a while in the dead of night.
At that moment, his heart felt a sense of melancholy, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint why; he simply felt a bit downcast.
The appearance of the hidden Chu Family wasn’t necessarily a threat, but now that there had been an interaction between them, he wondered if they would encounter each other again in the future.
Lin Xue, that girl’s affection for him was obvious, but as for the security bureau she mentioned, should he agree to it?
After much deliberation, Ling Feng still hadn’t made up his mind, when he inadvertently looked up and realized he had returned to the hotel where Zhang Lan was staying.
Lost in thought while walking, he had unconsciously covered several kilometers!
Shaking his head with a wry smile and dismissing the jumbled thoughts in his head, Ling Feng entered the hotel and quickly returned to Zhang Lan’s room.
Inside, it was still just her and Miao Lanlan. Seeing Ling Feng come back, Zhang Lan immediately stood up and asked, "How did it go?"
"I’ve asked about almost everything. Some of it was quite unexpected."
Ling Feng smiled and briefly recounted the events, but he omitted Lin Xue’s identity because she had reminded him to keep it secret.
"I can’t believe Chu Bo has such an impressive background!"
Zhang Lan had heard of hidden families before; they were usually very low-key and didn’t show off their presence. Yet, she hadn’t expected Chu Bo to be from one of them.
So, after listening to Ling Feng, her expression became serious as she looked up and said, "You must be extra careful from now on. Don’t let your abilities make you complacent!"
"Don’t worry, Sister Lan, I understand!"
Ling Feng was touched, knowing she was worried about him.
Glancing at Miao Lanlan, Zhang Lan gave him a meaningful look, "It’s getting late. You two should head back and rest."
"Okay."
Ling Feng hadn’t planned on staying anyway, especially since Miao Ruoruo had just had an incident. He couldn’t possibly stay here and revel in joy, could he?
So after giving Zhang Lan a deep look, he and Miao Lanlan went downstairs and took a car back to the Miao Family home.
Throughout the ride, Miao Lanlan barely spoke, her expression revealing nothing. It wasn’t until they reached the door of Miao Ruoruo’s room that she couldn’t help but say, "Have you forgotten everything?"
"What?" Ling Feng was taken aback.
"Hmph! You really did forget!"
Miao Lanlan glared at him, turned to head into her room, and closed the door behind her forcefully.
Ling Feng stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then helplessly shook his head and entered Miao Ruoruo’s room.
The light was on in the room, but Miao Ruoruo had already fallen asleep, her face serene and peaceful, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth as if she was having a pleasant dream.
Seeing her sleeping soundly, Ling Feng didn’t want to disturb her. He tiptoed over to sit down on the couch.
Reflecting on Miao Lanlan’s behavior just now, he suddenly seemed to understand something and thought to himself, "This girl wanted me to pursue her, that must have been what she was referring to just now!"
After a bitter smile, Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, "With everything that’s happened, how could I be in the mood for that?"
Just then, his phone vibrated with a new message.
Ling Feng looked down to see that Lin Xue had messaged him ten minutes ago asking if he had gotten home yet, and the latest one was from Zhang Lan asking the same.
With the images of the two women in mind, and recalling Miao Lanlan’s recent fit of pique, Ling Feng sighed inwardly, "Indeed, the favor of a beautiful woman is the hardest to repay!"
After assuring Zhang Lan and Lin Xue of his safety and seeing that Miao Ruoruo was still deep in sleep, Ling Feng’s thoughts turned, and he activated the Illusionary Ring, instantly entering the space of the Nine Heavens.
Having nothing better to do, he decided to explore the Forest Sea World of the First Layer again, who knows what new discoveries he might make!
