Chapter 402: Confusion

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Confusion

There was a pause, and Ling Feng asked in a soft voice, "Uncle Liu, there’s something I want to ask you, did you bid on a scepter at an auction last year?"

"Scepter?" Liu Yuntian furrowed his brow, "I attended quite a few auctions last year, but I didn’t bid on a scepter or anything like that. Why do you ask?"

Liu Yuntian was sure Ling Feng wouldn’t ask without reason.

Ling Feng furrowed his brow, He hadn’t bid on a scepter? How could that be! Ling Feng was very confident in his perception of Saint Di Anfu.

"Do you have any knowledge about the Underworld, Uncle Liu?" Ling Feng asked nonchalantly.

Liu Yuntian’s eyes became sharp, "What? The Underworld? What does this have to do with the Underworld?"

Clearly, for someone like Liu Yuntian at his level, his understanding of the Underworld was indeed profound!

Ling Feng explained the ins and outs of the situation to Liu Yuntian, whose brows furrowed tightly, as he seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter!

This was where Ling Feng’s intelligence lay. He also believed that Liu Yuntian was a smart man. Rather than investigating behind his back, it was better to tell him the truth. Facing both the Papal Court of Light and the Dark Church, even the Dragon Group wouldn’t take them lightly. Thus, Liu Yuntian surely knew what to do.

Liu Yuntian was greatly shocked inside, but he managed not to show too much astonishment on his face.

"So it seems, whether it’s the Papal Court of Light or the Dark Church, they both have determined that the Scepter of Kings is with me, so my current situation must be very dangerous!" Liu Yuntian gave a wry smile, "But I truly have no idea where the Scepter of Kings is!"

Ling Feng looked at Liu Yuntian, whose demeanor did not seem feigned, and he couldn’t help but frown, "That’s impossible. They have already confirmed that you’ve come into contact with the Scepter of Kings. There can be absolutely no mistake about that!"

Liu Yuntian shook his head, "That is what’s surprising and strange to me, because I really haven’t seen the Scepter of Kings!"

"By the way, that girl named Saint Di Anfu, she’s from the Papal Court of Light, right?" Liu Yuntian suddenly asked.

Ling Feng nodded, "That’s right, she is actually the Saintess of the Papal Court of Light. Luckily, it was Saint Di Anfu who stayed by Yuwei’s side. If it had been someone from the Dark Church who found you instead, given their way of doing things, you would have been in danger!"

By that time, Liu Tingyu had already come out, and Ling Feng said to Liu Yuntian, "Uncle Liu, you’d better think back carefully, for this matter concerns your and Yuwei’s safety."

"I understand!" Liu Yuntian looked at Ling Feng, "At school, please take care of Yuwei for me!"

Ling Feng gave a slight smile, "Leave it to me; after all, who am I if not her brother?"

...

"How was your day today?" Ling Feng took Liu Tingyu’s hand with a smile and said, "I didn’t expect you to seem so familiar with them!"

Liu Tingyu replied with a giggly smile, "Don’t you know that women’s friendships can start very mysteriously? But really, Liu Yuwei is a good girl. I used to think she might like you as well, but turns out..."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "Do you think I’m a diamond necklace that every woman likes?"

"You’re worth much more than a diamond necklace!" whispered Liu Tingyu into Ling Feng’s ear, "Also, what’s the deal with your diamond mine in South Africa? How come I didn’t know about it?"

Ling Feng heard the hint of mischief in Liu Tingyu’s tone and played dumb, "Eh? Didn’t I tell you? No way..."

"Still playing dumb with me?" Liu Tingyu twisted Ling Feng’s ear while saying, "I don’t care, what else haven’t you told me? Spill it now, or else... don’t even think about getting into my bed tonight..."

Ling Feng’s face took on a pained expression, "Come on, didn’t we agree, today... *cough cough*, you know!"

As the two bickered and squabbled on their way, Liu Tingyu actually didn’t care whether Ling Feng truly owned a diamond mine or had other assets. As the Dragon King’s only daughter, not to mention a single diamond mine, she would have people willingly giving up even ten diamond mines to her!

Suddenly, a strange man stepped in front of Ling Feng, "Excuse me, are you Ling Feng?"

"I am Ling Feng, who are you?" Ling Feng looked at the man who had suddenly appeared and asked.

The man placed an earring into Ling Feng’s hand and said, "A moment ago, a man asked me to give this to you!"

An earring? Ling Feng frowned, what did this mean!

"Isn’t this Sister Yun’s earring?" Liu Tingyu exclaimed in shock upon seeing the earring, "Could it be that Sister Yun..."

A bad premonition rose in Ling Feng’s heart, "Today, Xiao Rui went to attend a banquet, could it be...?"

Ling Feng quickly dialed Yun Hanrui’s number.

Within three seconds, Yun Hanrui answered the phone, "Hello, Ling Feng, why are you calling me?"

Upon hearing Yun Hanrui’s voice, Ling Feng’s heart settled, "Xiao Rui, where are you now? Have you finished eating?"

"I’ve already finished eating! I’m at Wanxiang Mall picking out clothes now, are you guys having fun?"

"It’s okay, I also want to buy a few clothes for Ting Yu, why don’t you wait there for us?"

A happy smile appeared on Yun Hanrui’s face at the other end of the phone, "Sure, I’m in the women’s clothing section on the third floor, give me a call when you get here!"

"Let’s go find Yun Hanrui!" Ling Feng said to Liu Tingyu, "Let’s confirm it!"

Liu Tingyu didn’t know why Ling Feng’s expression suddenly turned grim, but at this moment she obediently nodded, "Then let’s hurry up and go!"

Twenty minutes later, the three met up at the mall.

Yun Hanrui and Liu Tingyu, hand in hand, began their raid on the women’s clothing of the mall, while Ling Feng carefully watched Yun Hanrui and noticed that indeed, the earring on her left ear was missing and the one in his hand clearly matched the one on Yun Hanrui’s right ear!

After shopping for a while and buying clothes for the two women, Ling Feng suggested they sit down for a while in the nearby lounge.

"Xiao Rui, where is the earring from your left ear?" Ling Feng asked curiously, pretending, "Is it the trend now to wear an earring only on one side?"

A look of helplessness flickered across Yun Hanrui’s face, "I don’t know when it fell off, it was there when I went to the banquet today, but after I finished eating and came out I found one was missing. I thought I had dropped it at the restaurant, but couldn’t find it no matter how much I searched!"

Liu Tingyu and Ling Feng exchanged glances.

Ling Feng said smiling, "Then don’t look for it anymore, in a few days I’ll give you a pair, guaranteeing they’ll be pretty and stylish!"

But Ling Feng’s heart felt very heavy, it looked like whoever sent Yun Hanrui’s earring had a clear intent, could it be him?
