Behind the Xiao family mountain.
"Teacher, what did you say? You want me to leave Wutan City and cultivate outside?"
"Little Yan, we've been targeted. I suspect it's someone from my old enemies. If we don't leave quickly, we'll be in big trouble."
Yao Chen, in his soul form, floated in the void, speaking to Xiao Yan with a grave expression.
Clearly, Ling Feng's actions had instilled fear in Yao Chen. Having experienced life and death before, he cherished his life immensely.
The Soul Palace, in particular, was Yao Chen's nightmare. He knew the Soul Palace's terror and only wanted to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible.
"Teacher, is the opponent so powerful? Even you can't defeat them?"
Xiao Yan, his face grim, stared directly at Yao Chen and asked.
"I don't know their origins either, but if they attract my enemies, I'll have no choice but to run away,"
Yao Chen said in a deep voice. Although he didn't want to diminish his prestige in front of his disciple, Yao Chen felt it necessary to explain the seriousness of the situation to Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart sank. "But Master, they've clearly stated they intend to target my Xiao family. If I leave, what will happen to my father and Xun'er? I can't risk their lives for my own."
"Sigh..."
Yao Chen sighed, but seeing Xiao Yan's troubled expression, he hesitated slightly before finally speaking, "In that case, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's stay for now. I also want to see who that guy's so-called master is!"
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy. Yao Chen smiled back at him, secretly thinking: Anyway, with your girlfriend around, even if there's trouble, she won't stand idly by. With the help of the ancient clans, the Soul Palace won't be a threat.
...
Mitel Auction House, VIP Room.
"Those wretched men! They said they'd give me an explanation afterward, but now they've vanished without a trace. Men are indeed unreliable, even pigs fly!"
Ya Fei stomped her feet, venting her anger. "Don't let me see either of you again, or I'll make you pay!"
She had thought everything was under control, but things had spiraled out of control, and she couldn't find anyone to make amends. Today's events were simply her bad luck, which made her resent Wu Dan and his companion.
"Miss, don't get so worked up."
Seeing the usually elegant Ya Fei unusually angry today, Gunnie offered a word of comfort.
"Uncle Gunnie, I'm just a little upset."
Ya Fei realized her outburst, her face slightly flushed.
"Miss, getting angry won't help. Regardless, this incident will more or less affect our Mittel Auction House. You should quell this storm as soon as possible."
Gunnie stroked his beard, offering guidance. Ya Fei nodded in agreement. "Uncle Guni, you're right, I will…"
A
knock interrupted Ya Fei's conversation with Guni.
"Come in."
The door opened, and seeing it was a maid from her auction house, Ya Fei asked, "What is it?"
"Miss, this gentleman specifically asked for you."
The maid opened the door, stepped aside, and a young man walked in.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ya Fei seemed quite surprised, her beautiful eyes widening.
Ling Feng, seeing this, secretly chuckled inwardly, but outwardly feigned surprise as well. "It's you!"
"W-What are you doing here?"
Recalling the scene by the lake on the outskirts of Wutan City, Ya Fei's face flushed rapidly, her usual composure vanishing, and she stammered.
This was the first time Gu Ni had seen Ya Fei behave like this. Although somewhat surprised, with outsiders present, he didn't press the matter. Moreover, judging from their expressions, they clearly knew each other.
Therefore, Gu Ni wisely refrained from saying anything further, made an excuse, and left with his maid.
"Miss, please attend to your business first, I'll be leaving now."
The door closed again, leaving only Ling Feng and Ya Fei in the VIP room.
"This guy, how did he get here? How can I face anyone like this? It's so embarrassing..."
Alone with her, Ya Fei's mind was in turmoil. Especially the thought of being seen naked by the young man before her made her so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
However, Ya Fei was quite mature. She tried to calm herself down and faced Ling Feng with feigned composure. "You, you came here to see me, what brings you here?"
Ling Feng clearly saw through Ya Fei's feigned composure. For a moment, he felt a mischievous urge and deliberately laughed, "What a coincidence! I run into Miss Ya Fei everywhere I go. This must be a special kind of fate."
These words reached Ya Fei's ears, and her blush deepened, her ears turning even pinker.
"Fate my foot!"
Ya Fei was extremely shy. She didn't want to bring up her past embarrassing incident at all, but Ling Feng insisted on doing so, which made Ya Fei extremely embarrassed and ashamed.
But seeing Ling Feng's teasing expression, Ya Fei understood and couldn't help but mutter angrily to herself, "This despicable guy, he must be doing this on purpose."
Ya Fei was no ordinary woman, and she quickly regained her composure. Forcing herself to remain calm, she faced Ling Feng directly, her tone suddenly changing, "Little brother, what brings you here to see me? Perhaps you have a crush on me and are deliberately seeking me out?"
As she spoke, Ya Fei brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling seductively at Ling Feng, regaining control.
For a moment, Ling Feng was taken aback by Ya Fei's sudden change, but her alluring presence left him slightly mesmerized.
Ya Fei, in her red, slit cheongsam, was like a blooming rose. Coupled with her stunning beauty and uniquely captivating charm, it was easy to fall for her.
Even Ling Feng couldn't help but be slightly stunned. You see, he was a man who had seen countless actresses and various girl groups on Douyin. He had a certain immunity to beautiful women, but facing Ya Fei, he still couldn't help but lose his composure.
This showed that Ya Fei's charm was truly fatal.
However, Ling Feng recovered quickly, which surprised Ya Fei, who couldn't help but take a closer look at him. He
was slender and slightly taller than Ya Fei. He had long black hair, well-defined features, and was undeniably handsome, even more so than Daniel Wu.
"He's quite handsome..."
Whether it was from a stolen glance or something else, Ya Fei's rosy cheeks became even more alluring at that moment.
At the same time, Ling Feng's eyes darted around, and he grinned as he replied, "Yes, Miss Ya Fei is so charming and beautiful, any man would be moved."
Ling Feng's answer surprised Ya Fei again. Most of the men who approached her in the past would deliberately act coy, but Ling Feng admitted it directly. This unconventional approach surprised Ya Fei, and she began to look at Ling Feng in a different light.
"Hehe...you've got a sweet tongue, you've probably charmed quite a few girls."
Ya Fei chuckled, covering her mouth. "But, I'm not so easily fooled."
As she spoke, Ya Fei gave Ling Feng a seductive wink, but faced with her teasing, Ling Feng suddenly became deeply affectionate, his gaze burning as he looked at her. "Of all the beauties in the world, I only need one. There is a beauty I cannot forget. A day without seeing her, I am driven mad with longing."
As Ling Feng spoke, he moved closer to Ya Fei, his burning gaze and blatant declaration causing Ya Fei's heart to race inexplicably, her face flushing rapidly, and her legs involuntarily retreating.
"You...you stay away...ah!!"
