Chapter 266: Entanglements of Grudges and Grievances

Zhu Youguang was scared out of his wits, abandoned his friend, and fled in a sorry state, eventually arriving in Jiangbei after a few years, where he settled down.

From then on, he became very low-key, almost never showing his Martial Dao strength in front of outsiders, and rarely told others about his experiences in his youth.

Zhu Youguang had thought that everything that happened in the past had settled, but not long ago, he actually saw that friend in Jiangbei!

"It's him, Li Zhenming."

Zhu Youguang took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and showed it to Lin Feng.

The young man on the phone screen had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking very honest and simple, even giving one a sense of dullness.

"He didn't die?" Lin Feng asked.

"Right, he truly didn't die. I don't know how he survived, but he is indeed still alive, and he appeared right in front of me."

"He harbors hatred toward me, so after recognizing me, he ambushed me. I was no match for him at all and was severely injured by him in just a few rounds."

"Perhaps there was still a shred of old sentiment, he didn't kill me..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youguang sighed deeply.

Lin Feng said: "Fine, leave this matter to me. I will help you find this friend of yours."

Zhu Youguang asked: "Mr. Lin, why are you so persistent in finding him?"

"Because I suspect he is a member of the Hidden Demon Sect, or is connected to the Hidden Demon Sect," Lin Feng said.

"Hidden Demon Sect?" Zhu Youguang was full of confusion.

Although the Hidden Demon Sect was evil and terrifying, it was also very mysterious; it was perfectly normal for Zhu Youguang to have never heard of the Hidden Demon Sect.

Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about what the Hidden Demon Sect is; you only need to know that it is an evil organization."

After dropping these words, Lin Feng left with Lin Wei in long strides.

Zhu Youguang had already sent Li Zhenming's photo to Lin Feng's phone, so Lin Feng prepared to contact Liu Qianxue and have her send people to search.

Yet, unexpectedly, before Lin Feng could call Liu Qianxue, Liu Qianxue took the initiative to contact Lin Feng.

"You guy are really too much. You returned to Jiangbei without even giving me a heads-up. I only found out today that you were back," Liu Qianxue said on the phone with deep resentment.

"Sorry, I was planning to tell you, but I accidentally forgot," Lin Feng said with a smile.

"I think you just don't have me in your heart... Now that you've become the Fifth War King of Dragon Soul, you look down on me, don't you?" Liu Qianxue said as if sulking.

Lin Feng said irritably: "You are, at any rate, a Captain of the Dragon Soul Branch; can you not be so childish?"

"Who is childish? Who is being childish?" Liu Qianxue questioned unreasonably.

"If you were a man, I would have slapped you across the face already," Lin Feng said.

After chatting aimlessly for quite a while, Lin Feng finally got to the point: "Qianxue, help me find someone."

"Who?" Liu Qianxue asked.

"That person is named Li Zhenming. His age is unknown, but he is a Martial Arts Expert. I suspect he is related to the Hidden Demon Sect. I have a photo of him here, and I'm sending it to you now."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, he sent the photo to Liu Qianxue.

A soft exclamation soon came from the other end of the phone: "It's actually him!"

Lin Feng frowned and asked: "Do you know this Li Zhenming? Don't tell me he is your friend, otherwise, I will be in a difficult position."

Liu Qianxue said: "Who is friends with him? I have a grudge against him! We are also currently tracking him, and I was even injured by him."

"You were injured by Li Zhenming? Really?" Lin Feng was taken aback.

"Of course it's true, could I lie to you?" Liu Qianxue said.

"What exactly is going on? Explain it properly," Lin Feng said.

"It's hard to explain over the phone. Treat me to a meal, and I'll explain it to you from the beginning when we meet," Liu Qianxue said.

Why does this damn woman always ask people to treat her to a meal?

Is she so poor she can't even afford to eat?

Lin Feng felt both amused and annoyed, but still said: "Fine, I'll treat you. I know the salary at Dragon Soul isn't high; I can understand that you're short on cash."

Liu Qianxue said angrily: "It's just asking you to treat me to a meal, and you're actually being sarcastic and mocking me. You're really something!"

Without waiting for Lin Feng to say anything else, Liu Qianxue continued: "It just so happens I'm free tonight, you tonight..."

Lin Wei hurriedly lowered her voice to remind him: "Brother, sister-in-law is going to have dinner with us tonight."

Lin Feng then remembered he had plans for the evening, so he said to Liu Qianxue: "I'm not free tonight, let's make it tomorrow night."

"You really are a busy person," Liu Qianxue said displeased.

"I really have something on. That's settled."

Lin Feng hung up the phone after saying that.

After hanging up, Lin Feng suddenly remembered he had forgotten to ask Liu Qianxue for the materials for artifact refining.

Forget it, he would talk about it when they met tomorrow night.

Returning home, Lin Feng placed the massive Mountain River Qi-Fixing Furnace in a room next to the first-floor lobby of the villa.

At the same time, Lin Feng cleared out all the furniture in this room.

From then on, this room would be his cultivation room, as well as his pill refining and artifact refining room.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dark.

Lin Wei had already changed into a milky-white long dress, wearing exquisite high heels, and her hair was combed neatly.

"Brother, we should head out," Lin Wei said, knocking on the door.

Lin Feng came out of the cultivation room and said with a smile: "Then let's go now."

"You're just going to wear these clothes?" Lin Wei said with some dissatisfaction.

The clothes on Lin Feng were truly too ordinary, enough to be described as cheap street-stall goods, but he didn't care at all.

"It doesn't matter what I wear. Having dinner with your sister-in-law isn't like going on a blind date; there's no need to be overly particular," Lin Feng said.

"Sister-in-law just called and said that one of her cousins is coming too. If you dress like this, sister-in-law will definitely feel embarrassed," Lin Wei said.

"You're actually looking down on me now!"

Lin Feng said irritably, vigorously ruffling Lin Wei's hair.

"Alright, alright, let's go quickly; if we don't leave now, we won't make it in time," Lin Wei said as if begging for mercy.

Lin Feng and Lin Wei left the villa and took a car toward the center of Jiangbei City, arriving at the Tiandi Building Grand Hotel before long.

Su Mingyue had not yet arrived, so Lin Feng opened a private room, ordered a large table of dishes, and waited there with Lin Wei for her.

About ten minutes later, Su Mingyue pushed the door open and walked in.

One could see that tonight, Su Mingyue was dressed in a water-blue long dress, with wavy embroidery along the hem that looked just like undulating ocean waves.

The pair of dark blue high heels on her feet were also incomparably exquisite, resembling a flawless work of art.

Seeing that Lin Feng and Lin Wei were already waiting in the private room, Su Mingyue smiled and said, "Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way; I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?"
