Chapter 179: Antique Street

"What favor?" Luo Xiuxiu asked.

Han Yu said with great determination: "Go help me investigate; you must find out clearly who provided the Lost Soul Fern Poison to my younger brother. Lost Soul Fern Poison is not something comparable to ordinary poisons; this kind of poison is worth a fortune, and without special channels, you couldn't buy it no matter how much money you had."

"Yet my brother inexplicably obtained Lost Soul Fern Poison. He must be secretly colluding with some mysterious force I don't know about, so this matter must be cleared up!"

Luo Xiuxiu nodded immediately: "Alright, I understand, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

"Watch your safety," Han Yu said again.

Luo Xiuxiu suddenly felt her heart grow warm.

Because the Han Yu of the past would never have cared for her like this.

Han Yu was once a high and mighty favored daughter of heaven, the Sect Leader's disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect, and the head senior sister to all disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect; she was cold, arrogant, and looked down on others, viewing them as ants.

But after losing to Lin Feng, although her self-esteem was shattered, she seemed to have gained a human touch.

It seems that the head senior sister being defeated at the hands of Lin Feng and suffering blows and setbacks was not entirely a bad thing... Luo Xiuxiu thought to herself, even feeling a bit grateful to Lin Feng.

At the same moment, at the Jinling Dragon Soul Branch.

Lei Dong sat behind his desk and asked with an expectant look: "Mr. Lin and Miss Lin went out together; did they go to the city center?"

"Yes, General Captain," Chen Qinghe nodded and said.

"Mr. Lin is truly swift and decisive; he helped me investigate the disappearance case so quickly. Asking him for help was indeed a wise choice!" Lei Dong said with a hearty laugh.

Chen Qinghe's mouth twitched, and he hesitated before saying: "I think you have misunderstood, General Captain. Mr. Lin is likely just taking Miss Lin out to shop and relax. He neither went to the police to retrieve the files on the disappearance case, nor did he come to our branch to collect data; how could he have started an investigation?"

Lei Dong's smile immediately froze on his face.

Seeing this, Chen Qinghe hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin is new here, so of course he must first familiarize himself with the environment. Moreover, Miss Lin just escaped danger, so it is normal for Mr. Lin to take her out to relax. Perhaps by tomorrow, Mr. Lin will set about investigating the disappearance case, so you shouldn't be anxious, General Captain."

"I can't help but be anxious. The disappearance case has dragged on for a long time, and the number of missing persons is increasing. If this continues, I will be held accountable by my superiors," Lei Dong said with a bitter smile.

"With Mr. Lin, the Fifth War King, here in Jinling, why would the superiors hold you accountable, General Captain? You are worrying too much," Chen Qinghe said.

"That is true! Mr. Lin arrived at such a coincidental time, and he will soon become the Fifth War King. As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there is a tall person to hold it up. With Mr. Lin, this War King, in Jinling, even if a massive event occurs, it won't be my turn, a mere General Captain, to worry about it." Having said this, Lei Dong revealed a smile again, looking relaxed and comfortable.

If Lin Feng saw him in this state, he would probably give him a slap to wake him up.

"Is your injury alright, General Captain?" Chen Qinghe asked.

"It's fine, it's fine. I'll be alright after resting for a few days," Lei Dong said with a chuckle.

Jinling City Center.

Lin Wei held a long, thick grilled sausage in each hand; the one in her left hand was tomato-flavored, and the one in her right was cumin-flavored.

She took a bite from the left and a bite from the right, eating with great delight.

"Is it good?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"It's good, it's good. Brother, you try some too."

As Lin Wei spoke, she shoved the large grilled sausage in her hand right in front of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng hurriedly stepped back and said: "I won't eat it; you eat it. I don't like grilled sausages."

Looking at Lin Wei's bright, smiling face, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel that no matter how hard or tired he was, it was all worth it.

"Brother, look, they are selling savory crepes over there!"

As Lin Wei spoke, she stuffed all the grilled sausage into her mouth with lightning speed, then pulled Lin Feng and ran toward the snack stall.

Lin Feng said with a bitter smile: "Little sister, I remember you used to despise this kind of street food. Why do you love eating it so much now?"

Lin Wei said with some embarrassment: "After our family fell, even living was a problem for me. Having something to eat was good enough; how could I be picky... Besides, I discovered that street food is actually quite delicious and has a unique flavor."

Lin Feng felt a pang of heartache and said: "It's my fault. I should have come back to find you sooner. But don't worry, I will definitely protect you from now on."

"Brother, you are so kind."

Lin Wei said shyly, then rubbed her little face against Lin Feng's arm, smearing the chili and tomato sauce from her mouth onto Lin Feng's clothes.

Two or three hours passed before they knew it.

Lin Feng took Lin Wei through several streets and visited several shopping malls, buying her a pile of clothes and skincare products.

Suddenly, the surroundings became much livelier, and there were more and more street vendors.

Only then did Lin Feng realize that he and Lin Wei had walked their way to the famous Antique Street in Jinling.

Jinling's Antique Street is very famous; although the vast majority of antiques and curios here are fakes, there are also real items mixed in.

From time to time, some lucky person succeeds in "picking up a leak" here, leading to stories of people becoming rich overnight.

Precisely because of this, many people come here every day, dreaming the beautiful dream of finding a real treasure and getting rich.

Lin Feng had no interest in antiques or curios, but since they were already here, he might as well walk around and take a look; in any case, today's goal was to accompany Lin Wei to relax and experience the local customs of Jinling.

"Brother, look, that rabbit is so exquisite."

Lin Wei pointed to a bronze rabbit on a street stall not far away.

Lin Feng then walked over with Lin Wei and squatted down to examine it.

The bronze rabbit was over twenty centimeters tall, with an abstract shape that made one want to laugh upon seeing it, and the rust on its surface had a crude, artificial look of being intentionally aged.

"How much for this rabbit?" Lin Feng asked.

"Eighty thousand!"

The old man running the stall opened his mouth like a lion, with an expression that said he was going to swindle you without room for negotiation.

"Which dynasty is it from?" Lin Feng asked again.

"Shang and Zhou!" the old man said.

"I think it's from last week!" Lin Feng said irritably.

The old man was displeased and said with a sideways glance: "How can you, a young man, be so ignorant of goods? Look at this full body of copper rust; could this be fake!"

"This couldn't be any faker," Lin Feng said.

"Smell this earthy, fishy scent; it was just unearthed not long ago," the old man said again.

"Give it a rest."

Lin Feng was both amused and annoyed, so he pulled Lin Wei and turned to leave.

The old man grew anxious and hurriedly said, "Young man, don't go! If you think it's too expensive, I can give you a discount. How about eight thousand? If that really won't do, eight hundred is fine too..."

Lin Wei clutched her stomach, unable to stop laughing, while Lin Feng said helplessly, "These people who sell fakes are truly outrageous."

"They really are outrageous, it's killing me..." Lin Wei laughed until tears streamed down her face.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's expression changed slightly.

Because he had suddenly sensed a peculiar fluctuation of Spiritual Qi!
