Chapter 152: Meeting Luo Qingzhu Again
Feng Ling'er looked at Qin Feiyang, pursed her lips, and smiled. "Do you know what Lin Yiyi and the First Prince went out to do?"
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow.
Ling Yunfei asked curiously, "What did they go out to do?"
"Are you stupid? With their grand wedding approaching, of course they went out to cultivate their relationship."
"However, based on my observation just now, the First Prince was the one trying to curry favor, while Lin Yiyi appeared very indifferent. It's obvious she has someone else on her mind."
Feng Ling'er glanced playfully at Qin Feiyang.
Ling Yunfei also looked at Qin Feiyang and noticed that his expression was extremely gloomy at the moment.
A cold gleam flashed in Ling Yunfei's eyes, and he sneered, "I wonder what kind of expression will appear on the First Prince's face once he finds out your true identity."
Qin Feiyang remained silent.
Half an hour later.
The three of them finally walked out of Yan City and sped along the main road toward Star-Moon City.
The fierce beasts near Yan City were extremely powerful.
If they had taken the small paths or gone deep into the mountains, given their meager strength, they would have been eaten by fierce beasts halfway, let alone reaching Star-Moon City.
However, even taking the main road did not guarantee safety.
This was because certain fierce beasts would ambush travelers at night.
Therefore, as soon as night fell, the three of them would hide inside the ancient castle to cultivate and continue their journey only after dawn.
The journey was uneventful and free of danger.
Ten days later, in the evening.
A majestic city finally came into the three travelers' view.
Although its scale was inferior to Yan City, it was not far behind.
Arriving at the city gates, Qin Feiyang looked up and saw three eye-catching characters coming into view.
——Star-Moon City!
At the city gates, there were also two guards inspecting travelers, but it was not as strict as in Yan City, requiring only a few casual questions.
Taking advantage of the moment Feng Ling'er was dealing with the two guards, Ling Yunfei poked Qin Feiyang in the back and whispered, "Are we really going to enter Star-Moon City?"
Qin Feiyang whispered back, "If you tell her the truth, we won't need to go in."
"No way."
Ling Yunfei shook his head.
In case there really was some treasure in that place, wouldn't bringing Feng Ling'er along mean she would take a share?
"Alright, you may go in."
At this moment.
One of the guards waved his hand.
Feng Ling'er turned around, gave Qin Feiyang and the other a smug look, and walked into the city.
"Let's go. We'll figure something out once we're inside."
Qin Feiyang muttered in a low voice and quickly followed.
"What a hassle."
Ling Yunfei sighed inwardly, hurriedly caught up, and asked, "Senior Sister Ling'er, where are we going now?"
"Duh, to find Qingzhu, of course. I've been to Star-Moon City before and I know where she is."
Feng Ling'er led the two of them with practiced familiarity straight to the main entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.
"How may I help you, three honored guests?"
A staff member stepped forward and asked.
Feng Ling'er said, "Go announce to your Eldest Miss that Feng Ling'er has come to see her."
The staff member cast a suspicious glance at the three of them. Although they were all unfamiliar faces, dropping the Eldest Miss's name directly meant they must have some connection to her, so he did not dare to be negligent and hurried off to report.
In less than a hundred breaths.
A young woman dressed in a white silk dress walked out swiftly.
She possessed a slender figure, and her tender skin, resembling refined suet, shimmered with a faint luster.
Her exquisite facial features seemed like a masterpiece of the heavens, without the slightest flaw.
A pair of large, dark eyes were as clear as a mirror, devoid of the slightest impurity, and her waterfall-like black hair fluttered behind her. She looked like a blooming snow lotus—flawless, pure, and undefiled!
"She is Luo Qingzhu?"
Ling Yunfei asked, a trace of amazement in his eyes.
Although Luo Qingzhu had visited Black Bear City many times, back then, he was simply not qualified to come into contact with such a favored daughter of the heavens.
Qin Feiyang nodded, his expression somewhat awkward.
Luo Qingzhu swept her gaze across the hall, and upon spotting Feng Ling'er, she exclaimed pleasantly, "Sister Ling'er, it really is you."
The staff member tactfully stepped away.
Feng Ling'er stepped forward and giggled, "Little girl, it's been a few months, and you've gotten even prettier?"
Luo Qingzhu blushed and smiled, "No matter how pretty I am, I can't compare to you, Sister Ling'er."
"You little girl, your tongue is getting sweeter and sweeter. Come, let your sister give you a kiss."
Feng Ling'er extended a delicate finger, hooked Luo Qingzhu's chin, and looked enchantingly mischievous.
"Do you two treat us as non-existent?"
Qin Feiyang muttered.
These two little lasses were simply torturing the single folks!
Luo Qingzhu's pretty face turned even redder. She grabbed Feng Ling'er's delicate hand, shot her a fierce white glare, and complained with some dissatisfaction, "You're only three years older than me. Can you stop always calling me a little girl?"
"No way, who asked me to be older than you?"
Feng Ling'er smiled triumphantly.
"Three years older?"
Qin Feiyang was startled.
If he remembered correctly, Luo Qingzhu was about the same age as him.
This meant Feng Ling'er was only eighteen years old?
An eighteen-year-old Two-Star Martial Ancestor—this woman was truly a genuine monster.
No wonder the Martial King's Palace doted on her so much.
Feng Ling'er glanced at the people around them and said, "Little girl, I traveled all the way from Yan City to see you, and this is how you plan to host me?"
"Look at me, I got so excited I forgot. Hurry, come with me."
Luo Qingzhu took Feng Ling'er's hand and turned to walk toward the second floor.
Feng Ling'er didn't bother greeting Qin Feiyang and the other, simply leaving with Luo Qingzhu amidst giggles and laughter.
"It seems we've been completely treated like air."
Ling Yunfei smiled bitterly.
"Isn't this the best opportunity right now?"
A sharp light flashed in Qin Feiyang's eyes, and he turned to bolt toward the exit.
"An opportunity?"
Ling Yunfei was stunned for a moment, but realized what was happening instantly and chased after him hastily.
On the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
Feng Ling'er smiled and said, "Qingzhu, I'm not the only one who came this time. An old friend of yours is here too."
"An old friend?"
Luo Qingzhu was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is it?"
"Right behind us."
Feng Ling'er pointed behind her.
Luo Qingzhu glanced back and shook her head, saying, "There's no one there?"
"No one?"
Feng Ling'er hurriedly turned around to look and was dumbfounded on the spot.
Where did those two bastards go?
"Not good!"
"A moment of carelessness let them slip away!"
Feng Ling'er was furious, scanning both sides of the corridor until she spotted a window at the end of the front corridor.
She rushed over, jumped straight out, landed on the main street, and looked both ways. There wasn't a soul in sight—not even a ghost.
Luo Qingzhu also jumped down from the window and looked at Feng Ling'er with a puzzled expression.
"Those two scoundrels really have something to hide."
Feng Ling'er clenched her delicate hands, grinding her teeth in resentment.
Luo Qingzhu frowned and asked, "Sister Ling'er, who on earth is it?"
Feng Ling'er whispered a name into her ear.
"What?"
"It's actually him!"
Luo Qingzhu's eyes were filled with disbelief.
He actually came to Star-Moon City?
Feng Ling'er said in a deep voice, "He told me he came to Star-Moon City to see you and Zhao Shuang'er, but it seems now that he has ulterior motives."
Luo Qingzhu said, "Sister Ling'er, don't panic. There is only one city gate in Star-Moon City. I will immediately have a few Martial Kings go block the gates, and we'll find them sooner or later."
"Good idea. The speed of Martial Kings is much faster than theirs. Once we trap them in the city, we'll surely catch them."
Feng Ling'er sneered.
"Must you two really go this far?"
A wry voice sounded.
Immediately following.
Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei walked out from a nearby alleyway, looking utterly helpless and bitter.
They knew their speed couldn't match Feng Ling'er's, so the moment they bolted from the Treasure Pavilion, they had hidden right here.
They had hoped that once Feng Ling'er failed to find them, she would naturally give up.
Never had they expected that these two women actually planned to send Martial Kings to block them. Wasn't this driving them to a dead end?
Why were all the women they encountered so difficult to deal with?
"Why aren't you running anymore? Don't worry, I won't chase you."
Feng Ling'er looked at them playfully.
Qin Feiyang sighed, "Fine, fine, we admit defeat, we surrender."
"Right, a true gentleman doesn't fight with women."
Ling Yunfei nodded, comforting himself.
"Follow me upstairs first!"
Luo Qingzhu glanced at the two of them, unable to tell which was Qin Feiyang and which was Ling Yunfei.
Following behind Luo Qingzhu, the three of them reached the second floor and entered a simple and unadorned lounge.
Once the door was closed, Luo Qingzhu looked at the two of them and asked, "Which of you is Qin Feiyang?"
"Me."
Qin Feiyang slumped into a chair. Since he couldn't slip away, he might as well take things as they came and settle in.
Luo Qingzhu walked over to sit opposite him and rebuked, "You really have a lot of nerve running out here alone. Aren't you afraid the Dan King's Palace will kill you?"
"Uh!"
Qin Feiyang was taken aback. He stood up, stepped forward, and brought his face close to Luo Qingzhu's in an intimate manner, teasing, "Are you concerned about me? Could it be that you've really fallen for me?"
"I..."
Luo Qingzhu stammered, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"This little lass is actually blushing?"
Qin Feiyang was startled and quickly took two steps back. This kind of joke was not to be played lightly.
"Right, how is Zhao Shuang'er? Is she doing well?"
He quickly changed the subject.
"She's at the Martial King's Palace. Do you want me to go call her over?"
Luo Qingzhu asked, lowering her head.
"Better not to disturb her."
Qin Feiyang shook his head, retrieved two supreme-grade Red-Fire Glaze Pills from his Universe Bag, and smiled, "I'll give these to you as a thank-you for helping me keep my identity hidden all this time."
Luo Qingzhu looked at the two pills, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a peculiar brilliance, but she ultimately shook her head and said, "You've already given us a consummate-grade martial art. We can't accept these."
"A consummate-grade martial art?"
Feng Ling'er was extremely startled.
"Yeah, he gave us two kinds, and one of them is even a supplementary martial art."
Luo Qingzhu nodded with a smile, finally calming down and regaining her usual poise.
Feng Ling'er looked at Qin Feiyang in disbelief.
Qin Feiyang directly shoved the two pills into Luo Qingzhu's hands, turned to look at Feng Ling'er, and tempted her, "If you let us leave, I'll give you a supplementary martial art as well."
"Keep dreaming."
Feng Ling'er turned her head away, looking completely indifferent.
Seeing this.
Qin Feiyang stopped wasting words. He looked at Ling Yunfei and said helplessly, "You saw it yourself. I'm out of ideas now. Handle it however you see fit!"
Ling Yunfei instantly furrowed his brow.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he said, "Senior Sister Ling'er, you guessed right. Our destination isn't Star-Moon City, but that desert in the far north."
"What?"
Luo Qingzhu's face drained of color.
Qin Feiyang's pupils constricted as he asked, "You know about that desert?"
"Not just me. Everyone in Star-Moon City knows about it."
Luo Qingzhu's tone turned grave.
