Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Meeting Chu Ziling Again
Although he didnāt know which deity he had offended, Ling Feng didnāt care. Having witnessed life and death struggles in the Underworld, he was unfazed. Moreover, the power of the mountainās force here was very helpful to him. Even if it meant taking by force, he would seize it! Besides, hadnāt he rightfully bought them from Chu Ziling?
Ling Feng touched the sword scar on his right hand and looked up at Ao Yun, "The energy of these seventeen White Jade Beads is already quite strong, why hasnāt it awakened the Mo Yu Sword yet?"
Ao Yun rolled his eyes, "Young Master, I was just a Black Flood Dragon before, and the Mo Yu Swordās previous form was the Xuanyuan Sword, Emperor Huangdiās personal weapon. How would I know? However, based on my guess, awakening the Mo Yu Sword this time requires a very powerful force, because itās very likely to establish a connection with its original form!"
"What do you mean by that?" Ling Feng asked curiously, "Do you mean that the actual Xuanyuan Sword may appear?"
"Thatās impossible!" said Ao Yun, "The Xuanyuan Sword has already followed Emperor Huangdi into another domain. However, I think that after awakening the Mo Yu Sword, it might undergo a significant change. As to what kind of change, I have no idea! But rest assured, it will definitely become stronger and stronger!"
Ling Feng exhaled and couldnāt help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seemed that, due to his diminished strength, he was starting to depend on the Mo Yu Sword!
However, with the energy of the White Jade Beads repairing his strength, he was nearly back to his peak, making Ling Feng confident enough to return to the Divine Gate organization!
"Ling Feng?" At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside.
Ao Yun looked at Ling Feng and teased with a wink, "Young Master, it seems you have good luck with women. You just arrived, and that beautiful lady has followed you here..."
"Cut the crap!" Ling Feng said irritably, giving Ao Yun a look, "Iām going out first. Keep a close watch here and remember, if you notice any unusual movements, make sure to notify me promptly!"
Ao Yun nodded. The "unusual movements", of course, referred to that so-called mysterious person coming to cause trouble.
Stepping out of the room, he saw Chu Ziling with her arms crossed, smiling at Ling Feng, "How come you didnāt let me know when you came over here?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "Please, are we that close?"
A twinge of pathos surfaced in Chu Zilingās expression, "Your words really hurt me. After all, weāve had business cooperation worth over a hundred million, right? I thought we could at least consider each other friends by now!"
As a vibrant beauty, Chu Ziling putting on such a pitiful act usually stirred protective instincts in men. But in Ling Fengās heart, a sense of vigilance arose!
After all, Chu Ziling was no ordinary woman but the beloved sister of the Chu Family Head, one of Huaxiaās commercial prodigies, hardly comparable to an ordinary weak woman!
Seeing that Ling Feng was unmoved, Chu Ziling showed a hint of petulance on her face, "You really donāt know how to enjoy life. Fine, I wonāt tease you anymore! Are you free at noon? Come with me to a dinner."
"Sorry, I have plans with my girlfriend!" Ling Feng firmly refused. Although he didnāt know what Chu Ziling was scheming, it was better to stay away from such a deep and calculating woman!
Chu Ziling chuckled lightly, "Plans with your girlfriend? Is it Liu Tingyu or Yun Hanrui? Or perhaps Bai Feifei and Wei Meizi? Or maybe the big star, Chen Ningxue?"
Ling Feng stiffened, then looked at Chu Ziling with a dark gaze, "Youāve been investigating me?"
Ling Fengās voice was cold, carrying a hint of murderous intent.
Chu Ziling seemed not to have detected the murderous intent in Ling Fengās words, as she smiled lightly and said, "Ling Feng, you wouldnāt really think that the Chu Family hasnāt conducted any investigation into you, would you? And..."
At this point, Chu Ziling helplessly shrugged her shoulders: "And, you and your group of girlfriends are just too high-profile, making no attempt whatsoever to conceal yourselves. A little investigation would surely unearth everything, right?"
Ling Fengās eyebrows twitched. Despite what was said, he was still very dissatisfied with the Chu Family investigating him.
However, Ling Feng also knew that after having a falling out with the Chu Family, they would naturally conduct a secret investigation into him!
"So what?" Ling Feng said indifferently, "How many girlfriends I have, what does that have to do with you?"
Chu Ziling laughed: "Right now, it indeed has nothing to do with me, but who knows about the future? Iām quite interested in you!"
"Iām sorry, but Iām not interested in you!" Ling Feng said, "If thereās nothing else, Iām leaving!"
Chu Ziling said, "Donāt you want to know the secret hidden in that villa?"
Ling Fengās body shuddered as he looked at Chu Ziling with a grave expression, "What do you mean by that?"
Chu Ziling chuckled: "It means nothingāIāve said before that our Chu Family has no intention of making an enemy out of you. We just want to establish a friendly relationship with you. After all, itās said that there is more joy in redemption than in revenge, isnāt it?"
Ling Fengās expression relaxed a bit. Although he did not know what Chu Zilingās motives were, through their several encounters, she indeed hadnāt shown any malice toward him.
"Letās go!" Chu Ziling said with a smile, "Donāt worry, this isnāt a setup! As soon as the meal is over, I will naturally tell you everything about this place!"
Saying so, Chu Ziling confidently walked towards the car parked nearby.
Ling Feng gave a wry smile. It seemed that Chu Ziling was convinced he would compromise. But this feeling was really quite irritating!
Once in the car, Chu Zilingās lips revealed a smug smile, just like a child who had successfully stolen the candy hidden by her mother.
"What dinner!" Ling Feng said indifferently, "Iām not going to accompany you to any ridiculous dinner party!"
"Relax, all right!" Chu Ziling said with a smile, "Itās just a university reunion. But let me be upfront, Iām bringing you along to ward off a few nuisances. With so many girlfriends, this should be a piece of cake for you, right?"
A shield? Ling Feng frowned slightly and glanced at Chu Ziling, but nothing unusual appeared on her face.
"With your status as the Pride of Heaven of the Chu Family, do you even need a shield?" Ling Feng said indifferently, "If you were in need of one, Iād think the whole of Yanjing would be swarming to offer their service, no?"
Chu Ziling rolled her eyes at Ling Feng: "Actually, the children of our big clans are no different from ordinary people! To this day, not a single one of my university classmates knows my true identity. Those so-called wealthy and spoiled second generations are just the generations abandoned by the family. The real direct lineage the family is cultivating would never be allowed to indulge in various vices!"
