Capítulo 534: Chapter 534 Qingyun Temple Incident (Fourth Update)
“Lin Fei, please don’t jump, okay?” Yang Jiahao’s eyes were brimming with tears as she pleaded, looking at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei felt it was necessary to explain to Yang Jiahao, otherwise, he might truly be seen as seeking his own end.
“Yang Jiahao, listen to me, I’m not at a dead end, nor have I ever thought about jumping. My life is in its prime, with a brilliant future ahead.” Lin Fei walked towards Yang Jiahao, speaking earnestly.
Yang Jiahao looked at Lin Fei who approached her, with a face full of astonishment, unable to believe it, she said: “You’re really not seeking your own end?”
Lin Fei could only nod: “Really, as real as pearls.”
“Then why did you stand at the edge of the cliff just now?” Yang Jiahao pointed towards the abyss and asked Lin Fei.
Lin Fei replied: “Don’t you think the scenery here is beautiful and refreshing?”
Yang Jiahao: “…”
Then, Lin Fei said to Yang Jiahao: “Alright, we’ve seen the scenery, let’s go back to the temple!”
But just as Lin Fei took a few steps, the ethereal voice of Yang Jiahao came from behind: “Lin Fei, you haven’t answered my question yet?”
Lin Fei couldn’t help but stop and turn around, only to see a blush rise on Yang Jiahao’s beautiful face, as if she was extremely shy.
Lin Fei certainly knew that Yang Jiahao wanted to ask about his feelings for her.
But Lin Fei pretended not to understand, asking: “What question?”
“Just now, I expressed my feelings to you, and you haven’t answered me. How do you feel about me?” Even though Yang Jiahao’s face was blushing, she mustered up the courage to look at Lin Fei deeply and asked.
As the mayor’s daughter and a beauty like Yang Jiahao, she has never lacked adoration and love.
Therefore, she showed her feelings for whom she liked without reservation.
Lin Fei initially wanted to avoid this question, but Yang Jiahao had already asked him directly.
He had to answer. He only had a few encounters with Yang Jiahao, and it was through Su Xiaoyue and Zheng Yutong that he met her.
Lin Fei had no special feelings for her, at most, she was just an ordinary friend.
He never expected that the night at Dragon Club, after drinking with Lu Yichen, and getting into a scuffle with Leng Ying over Zhu Zirui, and drinking with Major General Li, made Yang Jiahao so infatuated that she even broke up with her boyfriend immediately.
For such a love-crazed woman, but one he had no feelings for, Lin Fei was rational.
His face showed regret, and he said to Yang Jiahao: “I’m sorry…”
Yang Jiahao’s face instantly turned pale as paper, her eyebrows slightly trembling, her eyes flashing with heartache, she said: “Lin Fei, am I not good enough in some way? Can you tell me?”
Lin Fei quickly said: “No, you’re perfect, it’s just that I already have someone I like.”
“Is it Xiaoyue?” Yang Jiahao immediately asked.
Lin Fei shook his head.
Just then, whoosh, a shadow darted through the woods, fast as the wind, and landed in front of Lin Fei.
Lin Fei focused his eyes and saw that it was Leng Ying.
But at this moment, Leng Ying looked different from when he parted with Lin Fei, his hair was slightly disheveled, his face pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Lin Fei frowned and asked Leng Ying: “Leng Ying, are you hurt? What happened?”
“Lin Fei, it’s not good! Zimo, Yuxi, Xiao Xiao, they’re all in the hands of the Observatory Master at Qingyun Temple, you must go save them!” Leng Ying’s face showed a touch of urgency.
“Leng Ying, make it clear, why did the Observatory Master at Qingyun Temple target them?” Lin Fei asked, looking at Leng Ying.
Leng Ying replied coldly and angrily: “Because this Observatory Master at Qingyun Temple is Master Qingteng.”
Lin Fei’s face showed shock: Master Qingteng, isn’t he that old troublemaker causing issues in the Su family?
Wasn’t he already locked up in prison?
That night at the Su family, the old Prince was killed by a masked man in black, and Lin Fei suspected back then that Master Qingteng was the masked man.
However, after Qin Zheng called back to the station to verify, Master Qingteng was still in the station’s holding room.
Now, Master Qingteng is not in prison, but has become the Observatory Master at Qingyun Temple.
Lin Fei could almost be certain, that night Master Qingteng must have escaped from the holding room, attempted to kidnap Su Xiaoyue at the Su family, killed the old Prince, and then returned to the holding room.
After all, when Qin Zheng arrived at the Su family, it took half an hour, during which Master Qingteng had enough time to return to the station’s holding room, thus deceiving everyone.
Even Lin Fei thought back then he had suspected the wrong person.
“Leng Ying, take me there now.” Lin Fei immediately said to Leng Ying.
Leng Ying agreed.
Just as Lin Fei was about to leave with Leng Ying, he thought of Yang Jiahao, and turned back to her, saying: “Yang Jiahao, wait here for us, don’t go anywhere.”
As the temple is Master Qingteng’s lair, it’s not safe for Yang Jiahao to go there again, it’s better to stay in the rear mountains of the temple where it’s safer.
Yang Jiahao nodded to Lin Fei: “You guys go quickly and save Xiaoyue, Yutong, I’m waiting for you here.”
Only then did Lin Fei and Leng Ying take off, swiftly passing through the woods and leaving quickly.
As the two flew away, the strong wind they stirred caused leaves to flutter down, and Yang Jiahao watched in shock: could Lin Fei and Leng Ying be the legendary Immortals?
Qingyun Temple.
A gust of wind blew by, and leaves flew in the courtyard, as the figures of Lin Fei and Leng Ying landed in the courtyard.
This was a courtyard deep within Qingyun Temple. On the way to the courtyard, Lin Fei had already learned from Leng Ying that after Qin Zimo and others finished paying respects in the main hall, they went out to tour around the temple.
While they were touring, an old Taoist approached and said there were beautiful scenic spots deep within the temple, leading them through several doors, finally arriving at this courtyard.
Then, the Observatory Master of Qingyun Temple, Master Qingteng stepped out of the room. Leng Ying and Su Xiaoyue recognized Master Qingteng. Leng Ying sensed something was wrong and wanted everyone to leave, but it was too late. Master Qingteng had already sealed the acupoints of Qin Zimo and others.
Master Qingteng then fought with Leng Ying, but Leng Ying was no match and fled Qingyun Temple wounded, to seek Lin Fei’s help.
Lin Fei’s gaze fell on the silent, deserted courtyard, the house with its doors and windows tightly shut.
“Master Qingteng, come out! Isn’t it me you want to deal with?” Lin Fei shouted at the surrounding buildings.
As soon as Lin Fei finished speaking, a strange melody drifted from a second-floor window of a pavilion in the courtyard, like a flute tune from a foreign land.
In the midst of this eerie flute sound, there suddenly arose a rustling noise in the courtyard.
Lin Fei then saw from every corner of the courtyard, under the blue stone slabs, in the cracks of the walls, anywhere that could conceal things, emerged a swarm of black centipedes.
In the courtyard, the many-legged insects surged towards Lin Fei and Leng Ying like a tide.
At a glance, it was dense with centipedes, countless thousands crawling, making one’s scalp tingle.
