Chapter 64: Breaking Out of the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly (2)

  "This time the alliance will surely make a big move, heaven and earth fusion ah, or pure heaven and earth fusion. With such a guy, I estimate that the alliance will go all out to take him down?" The two of them smiled at each other for a while, then the old man stopped smiling, walked over to the sofa in the living room and sat down, speaking into the phone.

  On the other end of the phone, there was a brief silence before that low, hoarse voice replied, "That's right, I did feel that pure spiritual energy just now. I immediately made a report to headquarters and I'm sure there will be big action this time. You old guy, don't think about competing with our alliance for this person, your granddaughter's qualifications are pretty good too."

  That hoarse voice shouted at the old man, causing him to move the phone away from his ear.

  "Look at you, Old Zhao. After all these years of friendship, don't you understand me? Am I that kind of person?" The old man said with a smile, stroking his beard and speaking into the phone.

  "You're really not like him at all, you're actually!" The person on the other end of the phone seemed to remember something and suddenly started scolding, almost making the old man pull out a few hairs.

  The old man coughed; "Ah, the signal is bad, what's that, hiss... Ah... Next time..." He immediately hung up the phone and tossed it onto the glass table in front of the sofa. With a chuckle, he pulled out a bright red bead from his pocket.

  "You're not just looking for this fire bead, I'm not going to give it to you!" He stroked his beard, muttered to himself, put the bead back in his pocket, adjusted his expression, and once again resumed the appearance of a carefree and detached recluse.

  ……

  "Xiao Lan, how about this: you take Chu Feng back to your home and have him stay for a day. Tomorrow, just call him to go to school and I won't go." Standing at the foot of Xiao Lan's building, looking up at the 27-story high-rise, Ling Fei swallowed his saliva and gently put Chu Feng down from his back, saying to Xiao Lan.

  Xiao Yan heard this, looked at Ling Fei with a glance, couldn't help but laugh and scolded Ling Fei with her eyes; "Look at you, speaking nicely just now, but changing your mind as soon as we arrive."

  Ling Fei let out a bitter laugh and didn't refute what Xiao Yan said, which was true. He did have some trepidation in his heart. It had been so many years since he last saw Ling Ya, and even if he didn't mention whether Ling Ya would recognize him or not, the guilt in his heart was enough to make him unable to lift his head in front of her.

  "I... I won't go, I'll leave first." Ling Fei looked up again at the 26th floor of what should have been Xiao Lan's home and saw a light in the kitchen. His heart tightened as he dragged the unconscious Chu Feng towards Xiao Lan, who hastily caught him and held him in her arms. She also glanced at Ling Fei with some anger; "Are you going to hide like this? Eldest brother, you weren't like this before, why..."

  Ling Fei had originally wanted to turn around and leave, but was instead stimulated by Xiao Yan's words and stopped in his tracks.

  "Xiao Lan, you should know that if it were about killing someone, I wouldn't hide. But when it comes to dealing with emotional issues, I'm not so handy yet."

  He let out a wry smile, and just as Ling Fei was about to leave, he raised his eyes and saw a girl, a girl who looked 70-80% like himself. Ling Fei was stunned on the spot, and his hands, which had already been inserted into his pockets, unconsciously came out, staring foolishly at the girl, unable to say a word.

  "Little Lan sister." The girl was Ling Ya, she saw Ling Fei and only slightly stayed on Ling Fei's face for a moment before smiling and running towards Xiao Lan.

  Ling Fei was still hesitating about how to talk to Ling Ya, but before he knew it, Ling Ya had already rushed past him towards Xiao Lan. With a bitter smile, Ling Fei turned his head to glance at Ling Ya's back, and was about to leave when Xiao Lan called out to him; "Big brother, come up and have something to drink." There was even a hint of pleading in her tone.

  Ling Fei touched his nose and glanced at Ling Ya from time to time; "Is... is this appropriate?"

  Xiao Lan gently patted the Chu Feng in her arms, and smiled slightly; "Is there anything wrong, let's go." Then she looked at Ling Ya, with a few more doting and worried eyes.

  "Xiao Lan, who are they?" Ling Ya pointed at Ling Fei and Chu Feng, asking in a crisp voice.

  "This... this is my big brother, just call him Fei Ge, and this is his student, should be older than you, also should call him brother."

  Ling Ya listened carefully to Xiao Lan's words. When she heard Xiao Lan tell her to call Ling Fei Fei "Ge", a lovely smile appeared on her cute face; "Fei Ge, good."

  Ling Fei hastily nodded in response; "You... you're good." His tense heart made his words somewhat stiff, but Ling Ya's thoughts were clearly not on him. After greeting him, she pulled up Xiao Lan's hand; "Sister Xiao Lan, shall we have Coca-Cola chicken wings tonight? I went to Bing Bo's house today, and her mom made Coca-Cola chicken wings. Unfortunately, I didn't get to eat any, it's killing me!" As she spoke, Ling Ya wrinkled her nose, her voice somewhat coquettish.

  Xiao Lan smiled and nodded, holding onto Chu Feng's hand which felt a bit numb, while her other hand was still being held by Ling Ya. She furrowed her brow for a moment before releasing it, looking at Ling Fei; "Big brother, let's go up."

  Ling Fei hastily nodded, took a few steps to stand in front of Xiao Lan, pulled Chu Feng over and placed his hand on his own shoulder, supporting him as he stood up straight. He sneaked a glance at Ling Ya and smiled foolishly, saying: "Shall... we go up?"

  Xiao Lan chuckled and habitually patted Ling Fei's forehead; "Look at you, let's go." After saying that, Xiao Lan turned around and walked towards the stairs, with Ling Ya following closely behind.

  Ling Fei awkwardly rubbed his nose, then immediately placed his hand on Chu Feng's waist and slowly followed the two people's footsteps.

  But Xiao Lan and Ling Fei didn't know that the action of Xiao Lan touching Ling Fei's forehead just now, although it was unintentional on the part of the doer, had a different meaning in the eyes of the observer. Ling Ya saw this action and remembered it, and her gaze at Ling Fei also became somewhat wary. Originally, Ling Fei gave her a familiar feeling, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Xiao Lan's action made the clever Ling Ya think of some clues.

  ……

  A moment later, several people took the elevator to the 26th floor. Xiao Yan's home was the fourth door on the right after exiting the elevator and walking ten steps. Ling Fei was distracted and didn't bother to remember Xiao Yan's door number. When Xiao Yan opened the door, he went straight into the house. Ling Ya, who was behind him, hummed in disapproval: "How rude..."

  Xiao Lan put away the key in her white handbag, hearing Ling Ya's words, she slightly frowned; "Little Ya, what are you talking about."

  Ling Fei also heard this sentence naturally and stood at the door, unable to say an embarrassing word.

  Xiao Lan smiled; "Big brother, come in."

  Ling Fei rubbed his nose, muttering to himself; "Why do I feel like it's that kind of girl who's waving at me?" Although he thought so in his heart, Ling Fei didn't dare say it out loud. He nodded and took off his shoes, then glanced at Chu Feng's shoes on her feet. For a moment, he was also hesitant, as if asking him to take off Chu Feng's shoes was absolutely impossible.

  Xiao Lan knew Ling Fei's temperament well, so she quickly came to her rescue; "Just take it in, it's okay, if it gets dirty, we can wash it again." After saying that, Xiao Lan also entered the door, beckoned Ling Ya to come in, and then closed the door.

  Xiao Lan's home was very large, with a spacious living room as soon as you entered. It was estimated to be around sixty square meters, with white flooring, white sofa, white table and white TV. The entire living room was in a soft white color, although it was white, but not dazzling, looking very warm and cozy. Ling Fei looked at this large white hall again and started to worry, the all-white space would be stained with a black mark as soon as Chu Feng's shoes touched it.

  "Just put him on the sofa." Xiaolan walked to Lingfei's side, casually threw away the bag in her hand, and tossed it onto the sofa, then pointed at the sofa and said to Lingfei.

  Ling Fei nodded, lifted Chu Feng to the front of the sofa, gently put him down, and sat on the sofa looking at Ling Ya who had just entered, while pushing Chu Feng's legs inward.

  It was this unintentional action that caused Chu Feng's eyebrows to wrinkle, and the silver-colored bloodstains on his face, which were originally invisible from the outside, became clearly visible once they entered the house. Ling Ya had just stepped inside when she glanced over at Chu Feng and Ling Fei, only to discover that Chu Feng's entire face was covered in silver-colored bloodstains. At first, she didn't understand what the silver substance was, but soon she realized it was blood - human blood - and specifically, the blood of the unconscious Chu Feng.

  "Ah!!!!!!"
