Chapter 271: Chen Jing's Trouble

Lingyun released his Divine Sense, and after confirming there was no one else nearby, he opened the Space-Time Gate. Esdeath was the first to step out from the Space-Time Gate, looking around the unfamiliar room with some curiosity.

"Is this place the world where you live, Lingyun?" Esdeath asked with curiosity.

"That's right." Lingyun nodded.

"But this place is way too small!" Esdeath said, frowning.

She remembered that in the Akame ga Kill World, Lingyun lived in an extremely large mansion, and even she herself had a very magnificent General's Residence. In her eyes, this tiny rental apartment was simply unworthy of Lingyun's status.

"Because my surface identity here is just an ordinary person, and I don't want to be too high-profile, so I'm just living in this small house for now!" Lingyun spread his hands.

"Master, I also think we should change to a different house. After all, we have three more junior sisters here this time, and this house can no longer accommodate us!" Luo Yexi, who had walked out of the Space-Time Gate right after, also said to Lingyun.

Lingyun surveyed the environment of the rental apartment and finally nodded: "Hmm, it seems we do need to change our residence. I'll make a call and ask Chen Jing to see if there are any villas for sale. She has extensive connections here, and I believe she can find us a place that meets our needs."

Since he had thought of this matter, Lingyun did not hesitate any longer and directly took out his mobile phone to call Chen Jing.

"Hello, Lingyun, you're back?" Soon, Chen Jing's voice rang out from the other end of the line.

"What's wrong, did something happen?" Lingyun couldn't help but frown slightly as he listened to Chen Jing's voice; although Chen Jing was hiding it well, Lingyun still caught a trace of exhaustion in it.

"No, nothing happened!" Chen Jing said.

"Don't try to hide it. We've been classmates for years; can your little thoughts really be hidden from me? It just so happens that I have something I want to ask for your help with. If you are free now, come over to my place!" Lingyun said.

"Lingyun, you're back?" There was a trace of excitement in Chen Jing's tone, but more of it was worry. "Wait for me a moment, I'll come to your place right away!"

"It seems something really did happen!" Lingyun put down his phone and said.

"This Chen Jing, what is her relationship with you, Lingyun?" Esdeath suddenly asked.

"A friend!" Lingyun nodded.

After only a few dozen minutes of Kung Fu, Chen Jing knocked on Lingyun's door.

Lingyun looked at Chen Jing, who was slightly out of breath, and couldn't help but frown; judging by her appearance, she had likely rushed over at full speed.

"What's wrong, in such a rush? Did something big happen?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow and said.

"Something did happen, and it's related to you!" Chen Jing nodded, then sat on the sofa and poured herself a glass of water.

"Related to me?" Lingyun pondered for a moment, "Is it because of Ji Moyuan?"

"The focus isn't on that, but this matter is inseparable from him!" Chen Jing said with an indignant face. "This guy first spread rumors in the dark, saying that you had countless amounts of Qingshen Tea in your hands and were deliberately holding onto it to wait for a higher price. Then he said that the Qingshen Tea shouldn't belong to you personally, but should all be donated to benefit the entire Huaxia martial arts circle. Finally, he actually gathered a group of people in secret, wanting to use force to make me hand over the batch of Qingshen Tea you gave me. Thanks to him, there are quite a few people lurking in the shadows now, and some time ago I was attacked. The one who struck was a Heaven Tier Extreme guy; if Huang Lao hadn't been by my side at the time, I'm afraid you wouldn't be seeing me now!"

"Ji Moyuan, it's him again?" Lingyun frowned slightly, with Evil Energy surging faintly in his eyes. "A dignified descendant of the Ji Family, actually fallen to such a point?"

Suddenly, Chen Jing felt the temperature around her drop instantly, and that bone-chilling cold made her shiver involuntarily. Looking up, she saw a tall, beautiful woman who had appeared in front of her without her noticing.

Looking at the beauty in front of her, Chen Jing suddenly felt a sense of horror. On this beauty, she felt the aura of a bloodthirsty beast, and behind her, there were faintly terrifying mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and countless wailing vengeful spirits. And this feeling, she had once seen in a founding father. That founding father was also a fierce person, whose cultivation had already stepped into the Innate Realm back when the little devils invaded. Under his leadership, his troops fought across thousands of miles and won several great victories. In that decades-long war, at least dozens of ghost ninjas equivalent to Innate Experts were lost at his hands, which was what forged the powerful aura he possessed. Now, she was actually feeling this kind of aura from a girl who looked only a few years older than herself; how could she not be astonished.

"You just said that some things who don't know how to die have set their sights on Lingyun's things?" Esdeath said coldly.

Under Esdeath's powerful aura, Chen Jing nodded with some difficulty.

Just as Esdeath wanted to say something more, Lingyun spoke up: "Esdeath!"

Esdeath glanced at Lingyun, then dispersed the aura on her body and returned to her seat.

"Lingyun, who is she?" Chen Jing looked at Esdeath with lingering fear; the bloodthirsty aura Esdeath had just revealed had truly shocked her.

"Her? Her name is Esdeath. Never mind, I'll introduce her to you later. For now, let's talk about your thoughts on this matter. What do you think is the best thing for us to do now?" Lingyun waved his hand.

"Right now, we lack strong martial support. Whether it's me or Wanyue, the factions behind us don't have many Innate Experts. In this situation, we simply can't deter those people who are restless, not to mention that there are people from the Ji Family blocking us in the dark!" Chen Jing rubbed her head with a headache. "If there isn't someone powerful enough to step forward, I'm afraid those guys will turn to open robbery!"

When she received the Qingshen Tea from Lingyun, she had put all her effort into building a strong enough network of relationships for Lingyun, so that Ji Moyuan wouldn't dare to easily make a move against him. After all, no one knew how many experts were hidden in the Ji Family, which had existed for so long. If they really tore off their masks and attacked Lingyun, Lingyun would be in danger. She didn't expect that just as the network was being laid out, this guy Ji Moyuan would intervene and stir up such a big mess for her; she was now a bit afraid to see Lingyun.

"Then wouldn't it be enough to just slaughter all those guys who reached out? These people dare to covet Lingyun's things, so they must pay the price!" Esdeath said coldly.

The Akame sisters beside Esdeath also nodded at the same time. In their minds, anyone who dared to stretch their claws toward Lingyun's things must be prepared to have their claws chopped off.

"A sufficiently strong martial deterrent?" Lingyun nodded thoughtfully. "I understand. Leave this matter to me! Now there is another thing I need your help with!"

"What is it?" Chen Jing asked.

"As you can see, I have a few more people here. This rental apartment can no longer accommodate so many people, so I want you to help me see if there are any suitable villas." Lingyun said.

"A villa..." Chen Jing's eyes rolled, "Then you really found the right person! I do have information on quite a few villas for sale. If you have time now, let's go take a look right away!"

Lingyun nodded slightly, then turned to Luo Yexi and said: "Ye Xi, you take Esdeath and the others to get familiar with the environment here first. I'll go take a look at the villas with Chen Jing."

After Luo Yexi nodded, Lingyun left the rental apartment with Chen Jing.
