Chapter 1769 - 1767: Suspect

Chapter 1769: Chapter 1767: Suspect

Ximen Shuang was unharmed, which made everyone in the Ximen Family very happy. If something had happened to Ximen Shuang, all the Ximen clansmen might have been executed!

But for some reason, Ling Feng always felt that there was a worried look on Ximen Cheng’s face. It seemed like several times he approached, wanting to ask something, but in the end, he said nothing.

"There’s something strange about Ximen Cheng’s behavior!" Ling Feng thought to himself. Could it be that Ximen Yan’s undercover agent is actually Ximen Cheng?

Although he had this suspicion, Ling Feng didn’t share this guess with Ximen Shuang. After all, for Ximen Shuang, stabilizing the morale and moving forward was the most important thing right now!

The Black Wind Predator’s people retreated, and Ximen Shuang and the others returned to their airship. However, to Ximen Yu’s surprise, Ximen Shuang arranged for Ling Feng to stay in the bedroom next to hers.

"Little Princess, this..." Ximen Yu frowned slightly. Ling Feng’s appearance was rather sudden. Although he agreed with the Little Princess recruiting Ling Feng, he still held a bit of caution towards him.

"Uncle Ximen Yu, I know what you mean, but this is my decision!" Ximen Shuang said in an unquestionable tone, "And I ask you to trust Big Brother Lei!"

Ximen Yu gave a wry smile: "Since the Little Princess has said so, what can we, as subordinates, say? But this Brother Lei, the Little Princess trusts you so much, I hope you can live up to her trust!"

Ling Feng smiled slightly: "No need for you to worry about that."

After settling Ling Feng, Ximen Yu instructed others to repair the airship and continue the journey.

Knock knock knock, just as Ling Feng lay on the bed with his eyes closed, the door to his room suddenly knocked.

"Who is it?" Ling Feng curiously opened the door, and was surprised to see Ximen Shuang slip in.

Ling Feng was startled. At this moment, Ximen Shuang was wearing sleepwear, exuding a fragrance that was intoxicating.

"Miss Shuang Er, you..." Ling Feng said with a wry smile, "If Ximen Yu sees this, he would kill me!"

"Don’t worry, he’s in the control room now. I checked when I came in, no one noticed!" Ximen Shuang said somewhat proudly.

Ling Feng helplessly said: "Alright, but Miss Shuang Er, shouldn’t you be resting in your room? Why come here? Just the two of us alone isn’t quite appropriate!"

Ximen Shuang rolled her eyes at Ling Feng: "Big Brother Lei, what are you thinking! I just suddenly thought of something and wanted to discuss it with you!"

"Go ahead, what’s on your mind? I’m all ears!" Ling Feng spread his hands and then sat on the bed.

Ximen Shuang also sat on Ling Feng’s bed and looked at him seriously: "I just recalled Ximen Yan’s words, and while observing those around me, I suspect Ximen Cheng!"

Ling Feng curiously asked: "Why?"

Ximen Shuang said in a low voice, "Because there are very few people who know our route. Apart from the airship control room people, only Ximen Cheng, Uncle Ximen Yu, and I know. But the control room is under Uncle Ximen Yu’s supervision. It’s nearly impossible to send out information under his watchful eyes!"

"You really trust Ximen Yu!" Ling Feng remarked with some emotion, "You never had doubts about him, right?"

Ximen Shuang nodded and said, "My relationship with Uncle Ximen Yu is complicated and can’t be explained easily. Anyway, in this world, besides my grandfather, Ximen Yu is the person I trust the most. If he betrayed me, it would mean I’ve failed in life!"

Ling Feng nodded, "So, you’ve concluded it’s Ximen Cheng?"

"I suspect him, but I don’t have enough evidence!" Ximen Shuang bit her lip lightly and said, "I still want to catch this person. I hope Big Brother Lei can help me!"

Ling Feng chuckled wryly, "You really... Okay, since I promised to protect you. But what’s your plan? We can’t just grab Ximen Cheng directly, right? He is a Later Stage expert, after all. If it really is him, and we push him to desperation, it would be a danger to us all!"

Ximen Shuang nodded, "Exactly, which is why I need Big Brother Lei’s help. I only want to confirm if he’s the undercover agent, not to act against him yet!"

Looking at Ximen Shuang’s earnest eyes, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh, "Alright, I’ll help you find out the truth."

"Thank you, Big Brother Lei!" Ximen Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and said.

But after discussing this matter, Ximen Shuang did not leave. Instead, she looked at Ling Feng with a hint of curiosity, "Big Brother Lei, I heard from Uncle Ximen Yu that you have reached the Mid Sky Realm in cultivation, and you’re not much older than me. How did you manage to reach such a level? Uncle Ximen Yu said you’re a rare talent!"

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up, "Really? Did he really say that? It seems his judgment is quite good."

Ximen Shuang laughed as she covered her mouth, "Big Brother Lei, could you tell me about yourself?"

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, "Want to know about me? It’s not impossible, but you also have to tell me about yourself. That’s only fair exchange, right?"

"Big Brother Lei, you’re so stingy!" Ximen Shuang pouted.

Ling Feng laughed, "There’s not much to say, actually. I was born in a small world lacking Vital Energy. That planet was called Earth..."

Ling Feng concocted a story, mixing elements from the Divine Realm and Angel World, crafting an adventurous tale that astonished Ximen Shuang.

"I didn’t expect Big Brother Lei to have experienced so much!" Ximen Shuang exclaimed, "So you’re searching for the executioner who destroyed Earth?"

Ling Feng nodded seriously and said, "Yes, even though Earth no longer exists, I’ve never forgotten my vow for revenge. I’ve chased from the Divine Realm to the Angel World, from the Angel World to the Ancient Ruins, always seeking that executioner’s true body, but unfortunately, I’ve never found him."

Ximen Shuang comforted Ling Feng, "Big Brother Lei, don’t worry. When I return to my family, I’ll help you find that Mad Doctor. Such a madman, I’ll surely help you avenge!"

"That’s very kind of you, Miss Shuang Er!" Ling Feng exhaled and said, "You just need to help me find him. I must avenge my grievances myself!"

Even though deceiving Ximen Shuang made Ling Feng feel guilty, he couldn’t possibly tell her his true origins.

"I’ll escort you home, as a way to make up for it," Ling Feng thought to himself.
