Chapter 2774
Lin Zhulu's instantaneous disappearance left Wu Feiyan extremely horrified.
At first, she didn't understand why Lin Zhulu had vanished into thin air, but after being stunned for a long time, she realized that her senior brother must have been teleported elsewhere by that ring.
This made her roar in hatred, gritting her teeth, "Old thing, you are truly biased! You said senior brother and I weren't qualified to inherit your legacy, yet you gave senior brother a magic tool capable of teleportation! Why don't I, Wu Feiyan, have one? Why! Tell me! Tell me!"
The cave where Meng Changsheng passed away and the severely injured Lin Zhulu had both disappeared, leaving only Wu Feiyan herself, with her hysterical roar echoing in the valley.
After a long time, Wu Feiyan wiped the blood off the soft sword with an expressionless face, sheathed it back at her waist, and said coldly, "Senior brother, after today, you and I are mortal enemies!"
Having said that, she walked down the mountain without looking back.
More than ten days later, when she rushed to southern Yunnan without stopping, she learned that Lin Zhulu had already been buried, and his most beloved daughter, Lin Wan'er, had also disappeared without a trace.
Wu Feiyan dug up Lin Zhulu's grave, confirmed that Lin Zhulu was dead, and that the ring had not been buried with him, so she began a hunt for Lin Wan'er that lasted more than three hundred years.
Because she had seen with her own eyes that the ring could teleport a person thousands of miles away in a life-or-death situation, she had always emphasized to those responsible for hunting Lin Wan'er over the years that Lin Wan'er must be captured alive and must never be killed.
However, so many years had passed, and she had still not been able to capture Lin Wan'er.
This matter made Wu Feiyan exceptionally annoyed.
A moment later, Wu Feiyan, who was at the base of the Anti-Qing Society, gradually withdrew her thoughts.
Recalling those years, her heart still felt resentful to this day.
For three hundred years, besides hunting Lin Wan'er, she had also been searching for the legacy left by her master, but for so many years, she had not found any clues.
More than twenty years ago, a young couple holding clues accidentally found overseas entered the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Wu Feiyan had always suspected that they had obtained the legacy left by her master, but this speculation had never been verified.
And for these twenty-plus years, Wu Feiyan had been trying to verify her conjecture, but she had exhausted all her methods without getting the answer she wanted.
Now, another successor of her master had suddenly revealed his identity and used her master's portrait to warn her, which made Wu Feiyan feel an unprecedented sense of crisis and oppression.
Although she dared not go to Jin Ling, in order to find the legacy of her master's thousand-year cultivation, she decided to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains again.
Always extremely cautious, she dared not go directly to China, so she prepared to return to China via Myanmar.
Myanmar has a border line of over a thousand kilometers adjacent to southern Yunnan.
The reason Wu Feiyan wanted to go to Myanmar was that she thought she could cross the border alone after reaching Myanmar and quietly enter southern Yunnan.
If she wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains, flying to the border would actually be closer than Myanmar, but Wu Feiyan intended to go to southern Yunnan first, visit Lin Zhulu's grave, and then head to the Ten Thousand Mountains from southern Yunnan.
At the same time.
At the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Villa in Jin Ling.
The An family waited anxiously for a whole day but could not wait for Ye Chen's appearance.
The whole family had no appetite for food or drink all day, just wanting to see Ye Chen as soon as possible and confirm with their own eyes that he was safe and sound.
At dinner time, Hong Wu brought a few people to the door. After knocking and entering, he said to An Chongqiu, who came to open the door, "Mr. An, I have prepared some excellent meals for you all. These were specially cooked here by the chefs of my Tianxiang Mansion. I personally oversaw the ingredients, and I personally watched them while they were cooking. When serving, I had them prepare an extra small portion, which I have already tested for poison for you all. It's fine, you can eat with peace of mind!"
An Chongqiu did not expect that this middle-aged man, Hong Wu, could be so meticulous. While surprised, he couldn't help but say gratefully, "It is truly too much trouble for Mr. Hong!"
Hong Wu hurriedly said, "What are you saying, Mr. An? You are all relatives of Master Ye, and I am Master Ye's subordinate. It is only right and proper for me to serve you."
The old lady walked over at this time and said faintly, "Mr. Hong, we didn't touch much of the food you prepared at noon. To be honest, we really don't have much appetite at a time like this. I don't know how my Chen'er is doing. There has been no news, and he hasn't come to see us. My heart just won't settle..."
"That's right..." The old master, An Qishan, couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Hong, could you help us contact Chen'er?"
Hong Wu gave a chuckle and said, "Old Mr. An, logically I shouldn't talk nonsense, but this dinner tonight was specially arranged by Master Ye. Not only did he have all the signature dishes of my Tianxiang Mansion prepared, but he also specifically had me prepare the best wine. As for what Master Ye's intention is, you should be able to guess without me saying it."
The old master was instantly pleasantly surprised and asked, "Mr. Hong, you... are you saying that Chen'er is coming over for dinner tonight?!"
The old lady on the side also said excitedly, "Mr. Hong, is Chen'er really coming?"
Hong Wu said with a smile, "Old sir, old lady, Master Ye only instructed me to prepare the best banquet and the best wine; he didn't tell me anything else. However, I think it should be just as you guessed."
"That's great!" The old lady's eyes instantly turned red with excitement. While wiping away tears, she choked out somewhat incoherently, "Chen'er is coming... Chongqiu, hurry and prepare!"
An Chongqiu hurriedly asked, "Mom, just tell me what you need me to prepare."
The old lady said nervously, "I don't know... It's just that Chen'er hasn't eaten with us for twenty years. We must prepare some things Chen'er liked to eat when he was a child... I still remember he liked the fried eggplant boxes I made. Hurry and prepare the ingredients, as fast as possible!"
An Chongqiu explained patiently, "Mom, we were brought here in a hurry by Mr. Hong last night. Not to mention ingredients, even the kitchenware and tableware might not be complete. Besides, Mr. Hong said that Chen'er instructed us not to leave here."
The old lady said urgently, "Then you call someone to send some over. My eldest grandson is coming back, and as his grandmother, I can't have nothing prepared!"
An Chongqiu said helplessly, "Mom, there has been no mobile signal in this house, and the landline cannot make calls either. It's not realistic to find someone to send them over on short notice."
Hong Wu hurriedly explained, "Mr. An, the mobile signal here was blocked by Master Ye's instruction. He said there might still be informants within the An family, so he won't let you all contact the outside world for the time being."
An Chongqiu asked in surprise, "There are still informants in the An family?!"
Hong Wu explained, "Master Ye is only suspicious, so for the sake of caution, it's better for you all not to contact the outside world for now."
After speaking, he hurriedly said to the old lady, "Old Mrs. An, the chefs from Tianxiang Mansion have all been brought over by me. They are just down the mountain, and all ingredients and kitchenware are fully stocked. Whatever you need, I will go prepare it for you and send it over later!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady was instantly happy and said gratefully, "Oh my, then thank you so much, Mr. Hong!"
