Chapter 628: Chapter 627: Real or Fake?
"Really?"
Chen Feng was stunned, "Is this old lady really so magically skilled?"
"Of course it’s true, I wouldn’t lie to you."
Zhao Xueying blinked her bright, large eyes, speaking earnestly.
Chen Feng didn’t press on with the questions; after all, he didn’t even know her full name.
"But..."
Zhao Xueying’s tone shifted, "What I know, I heard from others, and the name of that old lady remains unknown, so I don’t have any proof."
"Oh."
Chen Feng nodded, not particularly concerned.
After all, he now had a new identity, and if that old lady truly had some magical powers, they probably weren’t something ordinary people could contend with, right?
...
Half an hour later, Chen Feng left the hotel and returned to Zhao Xueying’s villa.
As soon as Chen Feng stepped into the living room, Zhao Xueying came up to greet him, her complexion a bit unnatural, "Chen Feng, I have something to deal with tonight and can’t stay with you. You’ll sleep alone, and tomorrow I’ll take you to school."
"Okay."
Chen Feng agreed with a smile.
"Chen Feng..."
Just then, Zhao Xueying hesitated, speaking softly, "Well, I might be at the company until very late tonight, and you’ll be alone at home. You won’t be scared, will you?"
"What’s there to be scared of? Am I, Chen Feng, so cowardly that I can’t even sleep in a bed by myself?"
"That’s also true!"
Zhao Xueying stuck out her tender little tongue and then said playfully, "Then I’m relieved!"
After saying that, Zhao Xueying ran into the bedroom and with a bang, closed the door.
"Phew!"
Seeing Zhao Xueying run off, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the girl hadn’t continued to pester him, otherwise he really wouldn’t have known how to respond.
"My charm is still pretty strong."
Chen Feng stroked his chin, looking very smug.
Then, the phone rang. Chen Feng took out his mobile phone, only to find that it was Yang Qianqian calling.
"Hello, Qian Qian, is there something you need?" Chen Feng said with a chuckle.
"Chen Feng, where are you?"
Yang Qianqian sounded excited, as if she’d come across something fun, "There’s a mountain range near our school with a very special place, where there’s a lantern hanging on a tree. Could you help me pick it?"
Chen Feng was startled, "Where are you now?"
"At the school gate."
Yang Qianqian said, "Chen Feng, hurry up and come over."
"Alright, I’ll be right there."
After speaking, Chen Feng hung up the phone.
...
Half an hour later, Chen Feng arrived at the location Yang Qianqian had mentioned.
Chen Feng looked up at the sky to see a crescent moon hanging above the night, casting a hazy and bright light that reflected on a small mountain in the distance.
"Indeed, it’s a beautiful scenery spot; looks like I’ll have something nice to appreciate tonight."
Chen Feng chuckled and stepped forward.
But Chen Feng didn’t go far and stood next to a towering tree, looking at the red lantern hanging in the distance.
The lantern wasn’t ordinary—it had an ancient design, made with many large iron chains, and it was carved with many strange and exotic patterns, resembling a traditional Chinese lantern.
"Is this the so-called lantern?"
Chen Feng muttered to himself.
"Chen Feng, there’s the lantern! Hurry up and pick it!"
Just then, Yang Qianqian’s anxious voice came from afar.
"Okay, I’m on it."
Chen Feng replied and quickly ran towards the lantern, moving as if he was sprinting.
Soon, Chen Feng reached the lantern and reached out with his right hand to take it down.
The lantern was very uniquely fashioned, not only did it have a bright red little lantern hanging, but it also had a rope tied on, with the rope connecting to the surrounding area, suspending the lantern in midair.
"Chen Feng, the trees here are so tall!"
Just as Chen Feng was about to put the lantern on his shoulder, Yang Qianqian’s voice came from a distance again.
"Are there tall trees here?"
Chen Feng was perplexed as he looked toward the direction of the voice, only to see Yang Qianqian standing in front of a towering tree, gazing upward.
"Brother Chen Feng, I’ll go up first. After I get the lantern down, I’ll take you to see other places," Qian Qian said.
On the other side.
Liu Zheng was also there, watching as Yang Qianqian’s figure leaped up the tree.
He called out in a hurry, "Be careful."
"Okay, Brother Liu Zheng, you are so good to me," Yang Qianqian chuckled.
"Qian Qian, walk slowly, don’t rush," Liu Zheng said, and then he went to the side and sat down in the grass.
Chen Feng also sat down, quietly waiting for Yang Qianqian to take down the lantern.
"Liu Zheng!"
Suddenly, a loud shout fell from the sky, and Chen Feng and Liu Zheng both looked up to see a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old with a sword in hand plunging from midair, pointing it directly at Liu Zheng.
"Who is this girl? How come she is here?" Liu Zheng asked.
"Hmph, Liu Zheng, I warn you, stay away from Qian Qian! She is a member of my family, my fiancée!"
"Qian Qian is my sister; you’d better keep your distance! Don’t even think about making a move on her! Otherwise, I will kill you!"
The young girl’s face was filled with anger.
"Are you Yang Qianqian’s real sister?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled. Since when did Yang Qianqian have a real sister?
"That’s right! You’d better stay away from Qian Qian!"
Yang Qianqian’s real sister glared fiercely, her sword still pointing at Liu Zheng.
"If you are her real sister, why are you so concerned about Qian Qian’s affairs?"
"Could it be... Qian Qian’s background is rather special?"
Chen Feng speculated.
Upon hearing Yang Qianqian’s real sister’s words, Liu Zheng smirked coldly: "Do you think Qian Qian belongs to your family? Is your family even worthy?"
"Liu Zheng, I tell you, today I must kill you!"
Yang Qianqian’s real sister was livid with rage.
"Heh, just you?"
Liu Zheng sneered contemptuously, "Just you wanting to kill me? In your dreams!"
"Qian Qian! Step back!"
Yang Qianqian’s real sister shouted furiously, as terrifying spiritual power burst forth from within her, shrouding the giant tree instantly, causing it to shake violently.
"Oh no!"
Chen Feng was surprised inside, as Yang Qianqian’s real sister turned out to be so powerful.
"Brother Liu Zheng, be careful. This real sister is very formidable; she’s a disciple from a major sect," Chen Feng hurriedly warned.
"A disciple from a major sect? Do you think that just because your Yang Family is from a major sect, you can bully people at will?"
Liu Zheng was filled with indignation.
"Liu Zheng! Even if you escape today, don’t ever think about stepping into this forest again!" Yang Qianqian’s real sister scolded furiously.
"Heh, Qian Qian, do you see that? This is your so-called real sister, she doesn’t even take me seriously!"
"Today, I’m going to uproot this grand tree to show her how I walk in the forest!" Liu Zheng roared.
"Brother Liu Zheng!"
Yang Qianqian was startled. Was this still the Liu Zheng she knew?
Liu Zheng tore off his clothes, revealing a muscular upper body, and step by step, he moved towards Yang Qianqian’s real sister.
Liu Zheng’s physique was extremely sturdy, each muscle brimming with explosive power. As his feet stamped on the ground, a thunderous rumble resonated, scattering leaves in a noisy flurry.
His eyes flickered with a chilling gleam, as if ready to devour someone.
"Liu Zheng, don’t you dare!"
Yang Qianqian’s real sister shouted angrily, gripping her sword tightly.
"Qian Qian, I don’t care which sect’s disciple she is. Anyone who dares to provoke my friends must die!"
Liu Zheng snorted coldly, his right arm sweeping through the air, the wind from his fist howling as it hammered onto the ground with a dull thud.
"Boom~~~!"
The ground where the punch landed caved in, forming a deep pit, yet the grand tree remained unharmed.
Yang Qianqian’s real sister watched in horror.
The strength of Liu Zheng was simply too terrifying, something she couldn’t contend with.
With a single punch from Liu Zheng, Yang Qianqian’s real sister’s body trembled, blood trickled from her mouth, and she flew backward, crashing to the ground.
"Girl, be clear about this, everyone here is my friend! Whoever dares to provoke them, will pay the price!" Liu Zheng said, and walked over to Yang Qianqian’s real sister, kicking her chest disdainfully with his foot.
"You! You... How dare you humiliate me? I will kill you!" Yang Qianqian’s real sister gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill Liu Zheng then and there.
"Girl, if you want to kill me, you better think it through!" Liu Zheng said with a grin.
