The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 134 Refusing to Din and Dine for Free

The man named Yu Lu gestured for the woman in green to be quiet, first offering a polite greeting to dismiss her, then bowing to the withered old man and gesturing for him to enter.

"It's alright! You wait here, I'll be right back!" Sensing that Qi Cheng and Sun Yuyang were preparing to secretly notify the forces of Sunset City, the withered old man raised an eyebrow and waved to signal the five people behind him not to be wary.

"Whoosh!" Like a gust of wind, Ling Weiyun's clone turned around and followed Yu Lu. The two quickly entered a hidden dark alley next to them.

Since the other party only had a ninth-level cultivation, Feng Ling wasn't afraid of any tricks he might play.

"I am a special messenger sent by the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master...!" As soon as he entered the alley, Yu Lu uttered a startling statement, which made the withered old man completely remember the other party's identity.

After a while...

"Elder Ling, who was that person? What did he say to you?" Seeing the withered old man return alone with a gloomy expression, and with only Yu Lu by his side, the group was very curious.

"Yuqing Sect... something's happened!" Ling Weiyun's clone said in a low voice with a gloomy expression. Several people exclaimed in surprise, their expressions incredulous, which attracted strange looks from passersby.

The restless group quickly composed themselves, walked a few steps down the street ahead, and casually entered a noisy tavern.

As the saying goes, "Too many people, too many opinions," but Feng Ling and his group did the opposite. Taking advantage of the noise, they could "talk freely"...

"Where's my father...? Is he injured?" After sitting down at the table, the man in black had just cast a soundproof spell on the gaps in the room when the woman in green, looking anxious, couldn't help but ask.

Feng Yuqing subconsciously associated the incident with a terrifying event like an assassination, which is why she showed an extremely tense expression.

As for Feng Ling and the others, they didn't have the same complex emotional entanglements as Feng Tianjue and even the Yuqing Sect. Without being there in person, they could only sigh and lament at most.

"No, Yu Lu didn't mention it in his words!" Ling Weiyun's clone shook his head, his expression flickering as he analyzed, "But since Yu Lu was sent by the sect leader..."
That means the Sect Master is safe and sound! And judging from the Sect Master's eagerness to summon me back, I am quite confident that this matter was not directly aimed at the Sect Master!

"Phew!" After hearing what she said, the woman in green breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although she quickly calmed down, she was still a little uneasy.

"Nephew Qi, Miss Sun, we'll meet again!" The withered old man stood up, embraced, and cupped his hands. Everyone quickly stood up as well. Despite the noisy scene, many people were standing and no one paid any attention to the few people.

"Take care, Elder Ling, until we meet again!" Qi Cheng and Sun Yuyang dared not be negligent and returned the greeting to the white-haired old man with clasped hands. Just as Leng Ningshuang was also preparing to take her leave, Feng Ling raised an eyebrow.

Ling Weiyun's clone immediately arranged in an irrefutable tone like an elder: "Nephew Leng is injured and it is not convenient for him to travel overnight. Nephew Feng and Miss Yuqing, you two stay here tonight. I will go back first! It is not too late to accompany Nephew Leng tomorrow morning!"

“Alright then! Senior Sister’s current condition is indeed not suitable for long-distance travel.” Feng Ling nodded, seemingly speaking to himself, but actually speaking to the woman in white.

"Whoosh...!" A gust of wind swept by, and the withered old man had already stepped out of the hotel door with astonishing speed, leaving the woman in green momentarily stunned.

Then, Feng Yuqing's gaze lingered between the man in black and Leng Ningshuang for a moment, complicated, before she flashed after them, saying, "Elder Ling, I'll go back with you!"

More than personal feelings, she was worried about Feng Tianjue's safety!
"Yuqing~...!" Feng Ling called out to the warm, sunset-tinged night through telepathy, but received no response. He realized Feng Yuqing was already far away when he awoke. A thought struck him, and he made his clone pause, deliberately waiting for Feng Yuqing to catch up. "Let's go...!" The woman in green said these two words indifferently after catching up with an old man outside Sunset City, then continued on her way. Judging from Feng Yuqing's expression, he clearly intended to return to the Yuqing Sect overnight without eating or drinking.

"Sigh~, this old body can't take this kind of torment anymore!" Ling Weiyun's clone sighed insincerely, his words carrying a teasing tone. The sound reached the ears of the woman in green from afar, causing Feng Yuqing to blush slightly and feel apologetic.

Actually, creating clones doesn't really matter... and so, two figures sped away through the night on the main road...

"Ahem~, sirs, how about we settle the bill first!" The waiter mustered his courage and stepped forward, standing timidly by Feng Ling and his companions' table, saying something that made people both laugh and cry.

The shop assistant was terrified; he had just witnessed two people "run away" from Feng Ling's table one after another!

He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't stop it at all. The speed was simply too fast, so fast it passed in the blink of an eye!

Clearly, the people at this table were no ordinary people. Now, the waiter was conflicted, wondering whether he should rush over and stop them in case Feng Ling and his group...

Dining and dashing!

In the end, it turned out that he still gritted his teeth and went for it...

"Here you go, keep the change!" Sun Yuyang covered her mouth and chuckled, casually tossing a silver ingot to the other party. Then, while the waiter was stunned, Feng Ling and the others were scattered like grains of sand by a gust of wind.

Feng Ling and his companions had never planned to go to the tavern for food and drinks. After all, the banquet they had at the Sun residence was much more lavish than this. In addition, the waiter had ruined their mood, so they were even less likely to stay there and chat idly.

"Sun...!" After the table was empty, the waiter finally snapped out of his daze, looked closely at the silver ingot in his hand, and exclaimed in surprise.

He originally wanted to check its authenticity, but unexpectedly, he suddenly discovered a large character brand engraved on the bottom, which was the treasury silver mark of the Sun family!

In this way, the identities of these people become obvious!
Guessing the origins of the pretty woman and the man with the red spots, the waiter was startled, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He quickly went to the backyard to inform the manager.

"What's all the rush? Keep a close eye on things!" The old shopkeeper was clearly a man of the world; he wasn't as flustered as the waiter.

He calmly took out a mold and, in front of the shopkeeper's dumbfounded eyes, completely removed the "Sun" character from the bottom of the silver ingot.

Sun Yuyang would certainly never know that there was such a calm and collected old manager in Sunset City...

Meanwhile, Feng Ling and the others, having received the bad news, were strolling back to the Sun residence along the same route, having no interest in appreciating the beautiful sunset overhead.

The team that originally consisted of six people suddenly became four...

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
