Phi-Fic Chapter 200 Reencounter with the Grandfather and Grandson
Chapter 200 Reencounter with the Grandfather and Grandson
Looking at the still bustling street but without any trace of the grandfather and grandson, Ling Feng felt an indescribable sense of frustration, and his initial confidence began to dissipate.
Afterwards, Ling Feng wandered aimlessly through the bustling streets of Heyang City, like a lone goose that had lost its way.
Sunlight streamed onto the ancient stone path, illuminating his somewhat lonely figure.
A moment later, Ling Feng unknowingly arrived at the edge of a pond in the city.
A gentle breeze blows here, and the water ripples, creating a scene like a beautiful painting.
Meanwhile, the pond was crowded with vendors, their calls rising and falling, creating a unique symphony of everyday life.
Ling Feng was initially captivated by the dazzling array of trinkets on the vendors' stalls, his gaze lingering on the exquisite handicrafts, quirky toys, and tempting snacks.
However, at that moment, a mysterious and somewhat cryptic voice suddenly entered his ears, like a lightning bolt ripped through the night sky, instantly pulling his attention away from those trinkets.
"Brave warrior, look at you! You are like a dark cloud hanging over your head, your face is gloomy and you look like you're about to die. This is not a good omen. I'm afraid a great disaster is about to befall you!"
Ling Feng looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a delicate pavilion standing by the pond not far away.
At that moment, an old man in the pavilion was tightly holding a burly man with an impatient look on his face, talking incessantly.
The old man held a tattered canvas in his hand, on which were written the four large characters "The Immortal Points the Way" in a flamboyant style.
Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but the infamous Zhou Yixian, that eccentric old man from the martial arts world?
Although his Taoist robe had faded from washing, it was clean and tidy.
He wore a crooked Taoist crown on his head, from which a few strands of white hair mischievously peeked out and fluttered in the wind.
At this moment, he was speaking eloquently to the burly man, pointing and gesturing with a serious and earnest expression, as if he could truly see through the secrets of heaven.
The girl standing next to Zhou Yixian was leisurely holding a string of crystal-clear candied hawthorns, enjoying them immensely.
She gently bit off a sugar-coated hawthorn fruit with her cherry-like lips. The sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes and reveal a cute, satisfied expression.
At this moment, she stood aside with a smile, her bright eyes taking in everything that was happening before her. She seemed to be used to Zhou Yixian's performance. Who else could the girl be but Zhou Xiaohuan?
Now that he had successfully located their trail, Ling Feng was no longer in a hurry to rush over.
He stood leisurely to the side, eagerly anticipating a spectacular show that was about to unfold.
However, contrary to his expectations, to his great disappointment, the so-called grand show did not arrive as scheduled.
At first, the burly, rugged man with a face full of scars seemed extremely impatient, as if he scoffed at Zhou Yixian's words.
But as Zhou Yixian continued his silver tongue, something unexpected happened—the once-aggressive burly man gradually became confused and stunned, actually stopping in his tracks and listening attentively to Zhou Yixian's endless ramblings.
And so, time passed by, second by second, and before we knew it, almost half an hour had gone by.
Finally, this long and absurd charade came to an end when the burly man, completely convinced, pulled out a heavy silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yixian.
After the burly man walked away and disappeared from sight, Zhou Yixian still did not give up. He quickly put the silver he had just received into his mouth and took a few big bites, as if he wanted to verify its authenticity.
After confirming everything was correct, he grinned contentedly, turned around, waved to Xiao Huan, and said excitedly:
"Come on, girl! We have to treat ourselves to a big meal today!"
Just then, Ling Feng, who had been observing coldly, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward, a bright smile on his face, and greeted the two of them warmly.
"Haha, it's been so long since we last met!"
Ling Feng's booming voice was like a thunderclap, instantly drawing the attention of Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan looked in the direction of the voice, and when she saw that it was Ling Feng, her pretty face showed no surprise. She smiled as brightly as ever and replied cheerfully:
"Big brother, it's been so long!"
When Zhou Yixian saw Ling Feng, his smiling face stiffened slightly, but this change only lasted a moment before disappearing completely. In the blink of an eye, he put on a cheerful expression again and greeted him warmly:
"Oh my, it's you, young hero! It's been so long!"
Who is Ling Feng? He has gone through countless hardships and dangers to cultivate to such a profound and unfathomable level, so his insight is naturally extremely sharp.
How could Zhou Yixian's fleeting change of expression escape his discerning eyes?
However, when Ling Feng turned his gaze to the two people in front of him, a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
With his current formidable strength in the world of Jade Dynasty, there should be few who can rival him, let alone those whose realm surpasses his.
However, no matter how much Ling Feng focused his gaze and carefully examined the two people before him, their strength remained shrouded in a mist, giving him a hazy and unclear impression.
Ling Feng pondered to himself:
Could it be that these two possess some rare treasure that can conceal their true nature from others' investigation? Otherwise, with my abilities, there's no way I wouldn't be able to uncover their true secrets.
However, since it was difficult to find out the truth in a short time, Ling Feng did not dwell on it too much.
Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Ling Feng's face, and he cupped his hands in invitation to the two of them:
"As the saying goes, those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away. Since we have unexpectedly met here today, it is truly a rare coincidence. Would you do me the honor of hosting a small gathering at a restaurant, where we can reminisce about our time together?"
Upon hearing Ling Feng's sincere invitation, Zhou Yixian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded hastily in agreement:
"That's wonderful! We were just looking for a place to fill our stomachs. It would be perfect if you, young hero, were to treat us!"
As soon as Ling Feng finished speaking, Zhou Yixian hurriedly agreed, as if afraid that Ling Feng would change his mind.
