Chapter 270: Exchanging Intelligence

As time passed, Lin Feng injected more and more of his Divine Dragon True Qi, and Liu Qianxue could clearly feel her body becoming warm, as if her entire being were soaking in a hot spring.

This feeling was exceptionally comfortable, and she let out a soft moan by mistake.

Lin Feng then said irritably, "Could you please not make these kinds of sounds that are easy to misunderstand? If someone next door hears, they will definitely think we are doing something we shouldn't be."

Liu Qianxue's cheeks turned slightly red at once, and a hint of shame and annoyance appeared between her brows.

"I, a woman, am not afraid, so what are you, a grown man, afraid of?" Liu Qianxue said bluntly.

"I have a family..."

Before Lin Feng could even finish his sentence, Liu Qianxue said angrily, "Stop making excuses. Do you think I don't know that you and those senior sisters of yours aren't exactly innocent?"

A look of embarrassment immediately appeared on Lin Feng's face.

A few minutes passed quickly, and the injuries within Liu Qianxue's body were seven or eight parts healed.

Although she had not fully recovered, there was basically no major problem, and she would be perfectly fine after resting for a few days.

Lin Feng then withdrew his hand and stood up, retracted his True Qi, and returned to his seat to sit down.

"Order the food."

Lin Feng said, and handed the menu to Liu Qianxue.

Liu Qianxue said with a smile, "You're letting me order? Are you sure?"

"Order whatever you want. Since I said I would treat you to a meal, I naturally won't be stingy," Lin Feng said.

"Then I won't be polite."

Although Liu Qianxue said she wouldn't be polite, she was still quite restrained when ordering and did not specifically pick the expensive items.

However, the Tiandi Building Grand Hotel was a famous luxury hotel in Jiangbei, and the prices of the food here were ridiculously high; even a simple bowl of egg fried rice cost several hundred, making it a high-end establishment that ordinary people were not qualified to patronize.

Therefore, even though Liu Qianxue was very restrained, by the time she put down the menu, she had already ordered several tens of thousands worth of food.

But this amount of money meant nothing to Lin Feng; he didn't even frown.

Before long, a waiter pushed a gleaming steel cart and delivered all the dishes Liu Qianxue had just ordered.

"Please enjoy your meal, you two."

After the waitress left, Lin Feng picked up his chopsticks and, while tasting the food, asked, "Tell me now, how were you injured by that Li Zhenming?"

"This matter has to start from a week ago."

Liu Qianxue seemed to recall something unpleasant; her brows furrowed tightly, and she took a sip of her drink before continuing to explain.

"A week ago, I was on routine patrol. When I passed by the entrance of the city center park, I saw a person covered in blood sitting on a bench. People around were pointing at him, but that man had an indifferent expression on his face."

"His appearance was definitely not normal, so I went up to ask if he needed help. I didn't expect that guy's attitude to be extremely hostile; he told me to get lost before I could even finish my sentence."

"My temper flared up too, so I retorted a couple of times, and then we..."

When Liu Qianxue said this, the expression on her face became even more annoyed, but at the same time, a bit embarrassed.

Lin Feng asked with a smile, "And then you started fighting? It's not that I'm lecturing you, but you aren't a child anymore, and you are a Captain of the Dragon Soul Branch. How could you be so impulsive when encountering such a situation?"

"Since that guy was highly suspicious, you should have waited for reinforcements there and taken him down for interrogation once everyone arrived."

Liu Qianxue said very dejectedly, "I didn't think that much at the time, and I didn't realize at first that he was a Martial Artist. I thought he was just an ordinary person who had been injured in some accident."

"Keep going, I'm listening," Lin Feng said.

Liu Qianxue then said, "As soon as I engaged that guy, I realized something was wrong. His strength was very high; even in his injured state, he completely suppressed me and injured me in just a few simple moves."

"I then declared the name of Dragon Soul. I don't know if that guy was scared off, but he left me behind and fled. By the time Zhou Hao and Yang Xiao arrived with the Divine Dragon Guard, we couldn't find him anymore."

"Afterward, I reported this matter to Chief Yang, and Chief Yang issued a wanted notice to search the whole city for that guy. But that guy seemed to have vanished; we haven't found a single trace of him to this day."

Lin Feng nodded slowly, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.

After a moment, Lin Feng asked, "When you fought him, did you have any special feelings?"

"What kind of special feelings could I have?" Liu Qianxue said irritably.

"Think carefully. His fighting style, the characteristics of his True Qi, or his Martial Skill..." Lin Feng said, as if coaxing her.

Liu Qianxue racked her brains to recall, and only after a long while did she finally say, "He didn't use any Martial Skill at the time, at least I didn't see any traces of him using one. He used very ordinary moves when fighting me, but even so, he was very strong. I suspect he is an expert at the Martial Venerable Peak or even the Martial King Initial Stage."

Liu Qianxue was at the Martial Venerable Initial Stage, and Yang Zhenting was at the Martial Venerable Peak.

If that Li Zhenming was at the Martial Venerable Peak or Martial King Initial Stage, it was naturally normal that Liu Qianxue was not his match.

Liu Qianxue added, "Right, that guy's True Qi seemed very cold and sinister. When I fought him, I had the feeling that my blood was about to freeze. Moreover, his True Qi was like a venomous snake, constantly trying to burrow into my body. That is why I was defeated so quickly. Fortunately, Chief Yang personally took action afterward to help me neutralize the residual True Qi in my body."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cold and sinister True Qi like a venomous snake—this felt very similar to people from the Hidden Demon Sect.

He had already suspected that Li Zhenming was related to the Hidden Demon Sect, or was even a member of the Hidden Demon Sect, and now he believed it even more.

"If my judgment is correct, that Li Zhenming is nine times out of ten related to the Hidden Demon Sect," Lin Feng said.

"You mean he is a member of the Hidden Demon Sect?" Liu Qianxue asked.

"This possibility is not small," Lin Feng said.

Liu Qianxue asked again, "Could it be that he came for you?"

Lin Feng immediately shook his head: "No, his target shouldn't be me, because the timing doesn't match. I have only been back for two or three days, but he had already arrived in Jiangbei a long time ago."

"That's true," Liu Qianxue nodded.

Suddenly realizing something, Liu Qianxue asked, "Why do you have his photo? But he seems much younger in the photo..."

Lin Feng briefly explained the matter regarding Zhu Youguang, and Liu Qianxue complained, "Why didn't you tell me such important intelligence earlier?"
