Chapter 135 Sister Jinfeng! Here I come!
Zhang Chulan and the others sat together in a simple but cozy room, enjoying this rare quiet moment. The table was filled with a variety of dishes, including steaming stews, colorful and fragrant stir-fries, and fragrant rice, which made people's appetites increase at the sight of them.
Zhang Chulan devoured his food with big mouthfuls, a satisfied smile on his face. As he chewed, he exclaimed, "Wow, this food is delicious! It's truly a delicacy!" His voice was filled with his love for food and his satisfaction with life.
Zhuge Qing, Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, and others sitting beside him seemed relatively calm. They slowly savored their food, occasionally exchanging a few words, enjoying this rare moment of peace and harmony. Zhuge Qing picked up a piece of stewed meat with his chopsticks, savoring it carefully, then nodded in satisfaction. Wang Ye, while eating, looked at Zhang Chulan, his eyes full of smiles. Zhang Lingyu ate silently, occasionally looking out the window, as if thinking about something.
Sister Baoer ate her meal while gazing at the scenery outside the window. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and yearning, as if filled with an endless desire to explore the world. She gently stirred the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, occasionally looking up at the sky outside the window, as if searching for something.
While everyone was enjoying their meal, Li Qiankun stood alone outside the door, motionless. He stood there like a statue, his gaze deep and solemn. His figure seemed particularly lonely and mysterious in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Zhang Chulan noticed something was wrong with Li Qiankun. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked to the door, looked at Li Qiankun and asked, "Qiankun, why aren't you eating? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Qiankun turned around, looked at Zhang Chulan, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just not hungry. You guys just eat." His voice was calm and firm, as if nothing could really disturb him.
Zhang Chulan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He returned to his seat and continued eating. However, he was still thinking about Li Qiankun's strange behavior and didn't know what he was thinking.
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Zhang Chulan immediately stood up alertly and looked outside. He frowned, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart. Li Qiankun also heard the noise, frowned, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
The two walked out of the house and saw several strangers standing in the yard. They were wearing black clothes and masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of vigilant eyes. They looked at Zhang Chulan and Li Qiankun with hostility and vigilance in their eyes.
Zhang Chulan looked at these people in confusion, wondering why they were here. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
One of the strangers spoke up, "We are from Quanxing, and we have something to talk to you about." His voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed out of his throat.
Zhang Chulan was shocked when he heard this. Quan Xing was a mysterious and powerful organization, their actions were secretive and cruel, and they were feared by everyone. He didn't know what these people were trying to do, but his intuition told him that this was definitely not a good thing.
Li Qiankun also sensed the seriousness of the situation. He stepped forward, standing in front of Zhang Chulan, and said to these strangers, "We are here to do business in the village. This has nothing to do with you Quan Xing. Please leave."
However, these strangers showed no intention of leaving. They stared at Li Qiankun and Zhang Chulan with provocation and hostility in their eyes. Just then, a golden light descended from the sky, landing outside the courtyard. The golden light dissipated, revealing a figure: none other than Xia Liuqing, wearing a mask.
Xia Liuqing looked at Li Qiankun and Zhang Chulan, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: "You are Li Qiankun and Zhang Chulan? Why are you here?"
Li Qiankun looked at Xia Liuqing, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Xia, we are not here to cause trouble. To be honest, we are here to ask for a favor."
Upon hearing this, Xia Liuqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? You have something to ask me? Tell me." His voice was full of suspicion and disdain.
Li Qiankun took a deep breath and said, "This is a long story. But please rest assured, Brother Xia, our affairs will not have much impact on you and Quan Xing. We just want to know something about Baoer."
Xia Liuqing's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He looked at Li Qiankun and said, "How did you know Bao'er was with us?"
Li Qiankun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xia, we haven't been in the martial arts world for nothing. For some things, we naturally have our own channels."
Xia Liuqing sneered and said, "Hmph, I don't believe what you say. Quan Xing has been in seclusion for many years and no longer wants to have anything to do with you righteous people. You should leave as soon as possible."
Li Qiankun looked at Xia Liuqing, his eyes filled with determination and sincerity. He said, "Brother Xia, I know you're prejudiced against those who follow the right path. But this time, you're the only one who can help. We really need to know the secret of Baoer's life."
Xia Liuqing looked at Li Qiankun and was silent for a while. He seemed to be moved by Li Qiankun's sincerity and was a little shaken. He said slowly: "Okay, I can help you. But you must agree to one condition of mine."
Li Qiankun was delighted when he heard this. He quickly said, "Brother Xia, please tell me. As long as we can do it, we will do our best."
Xia Liuqing looked at Li Qiankun and said, "I want you to promise that no matter what secret you find, you will not harm Quan Xing. Otherwise, I will never let you go."
Li Qiankun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xia, we just want to solve Bao'er's secret and will never attack Quan Xing."
Seeing this, Xia Liuqing nodded in agreement. He said, "Okay, then I'll take you to see Jin Feng. She's the only one in Quan Xing who knows the secret of Bao Er's life."
The group followed Xia Liuqing to Jin Feng's residence. It was a quiet farmyard, surrounded by shady trees and fragrant flowers. The atmosphere in the yard was peaceful and tranquil, as if it were isolated from the world.
Xia Liuqing stood at the gate of the yard and shouted loudly: "Sister Jinfeng, your brother is here to see you!" His voice was loud and clear, as if it could penetrate all obstacles.
After a while, Jin Feng came out of the house. When she saw Xia Liuqing, she looked displeased. She said, "Xia Liuqing, why did you bring these people here? Outsiders are not welcome here!"
Xia Liuqing smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister, don't be angry. These people are not outsiders. They are here to ask you for help."
Jin Feng frowned when she heard this and said, "Ask me for help? What can they do to help me?"
Xia Liuqing pointed at Bao'er beside her and said, "Sister, look who this is?"
Jin Feng's eyes fell on Bao'er and she was stunned. She looked at Bao'er carefully, her eyes full of surprise and confusion. She said, "This... isn't this Bao'er? Why are you still like this?"
Baoer walked forward, bowed respectfully to Jinfeng, and said, "Grandma Jinfeng, long time no see." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, as if it could penetrate all the noise.
Jin Feng came back to her senses and took Bao'er's hand, her eyes filled with emotion and relief. She said, "Bao'er, all these years have passed, and you haven't changed at all. The leader said back then that you have no souls and spirits, and you won't age or die. But I never thought you would actually live until now."
Li Qiankun saw this and took the opportunity to say, "Senior Jinfeng, we've come here to ask you to lead us to that valley. It's said that the secret of Bao'er's life is hidden there, and we hope to find the answer."
