Ling Zhenfei ordered two dishes and a pot of tea and started eating.
After finishing the al, Ling Zhenfei could head to the airport, and once he t Elin there, he planned to have a thorough conversation with her.
He was very eager to know Elin's true identity.
While eating, he noticed the restaurant's food was quite good, and especially the pot of Pu'er tea was very soothing.
Just as Ling Zhenfei was sipping his tea, soone suddenly approached and sat down right across from him.
Ling Zhenfei was montarily stunned; the newcor was a young man in his twenties.
This young man was very handso, almost like a celebrity, and his attire was ticulous, clearly indicating he was not an ordinary person.
If placed in ancient tis, his outfit and aura would undoubtedly belong to a noble person, but Ling Zhenfei wondered why this person sought him out.
Ling Zhenfei glanced at the young man before him, knowing he must be extraordinary.
Ling Zhenfei was well aware that the more remarkable a person is, the more formidable they tend to be. Earlier, when Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense was monitoring his surroundings, he could detect Northern Spiritual Energy.
However, when this young man appeared, Ling Zhenfei still didn't detect him.
This left three possibilities. First, the person was not a Spiritual Cultivator, so naturally, he wouldn't emit Northern Spiritual Energy.
Second, perhaps he had so special treasure on him, like Ling Zhenfei's Concealnt Pill.
Third, this person's abilities surpassed Ling Zhenfei's, allowing him to hide his Northern Spiritual Energy so that Ling Zhenfei couldn't detect it.
Yet, this man had brazenly seated himself in front of Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei understood that people don't co uninvited unless there's a reason. Since this person had found him and sat before him, it indicated he wasn't simple.
Ling Zhenfei looked at the young man and asked, "Brother, sitting across from , is there sothing you need?"
The young man smiled and said, "I do apologize, did I disturb your al, sir?"
The young man's polite deanor made him appear anything but ordinary.
Ling Zhenfei replied, "It's okay, I'm already full, just enjoying my tea."
After speaking, Ling Zhenfei poured a cup of tea for the young man and said, "This Pu'er tea is quite good, give it a try."
The young man gently lifted the cup, took a sip, and said, "Truly endless aftertaste, quite good."
Ling Zhenfei took another sip and said, "This sixty yuan pot of tea uses such good leaves, it's truly exceptional, a testant to honest rchants."
The young man laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be a tea lover, sir. I have so fine Taiping Houkui at ho, I'd be happy to gift you so if you'd like."
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need to gift anything, I believe one shouldn't take unearned rewards."
The young man said, "I can see you're a principled man, truly admirable."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's skip the pleasantries, just tell , who are you, and what's your purpose?"
The young man smiled and said, "You are quite amusing, sir. My na is Huang Jian, and I truly admire you."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Spare the flattery; the fact that you know of ans you all are quite formidable. Tell , who are you with?"
Huang Jian said, "Sir, you make it sound like we're the bad guys; we only found you to ask a few questions."
Ever since eting the person nad Huang Jian, Ling Zhenfei had been wondering about his motive. He pondered what business he could have.
But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't figure it out, not knowing if he was with Hahn or Feng Zilong.
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you want to ask sothing, go ahead."
Huang Jian said, "It's actually quite simple, I just ca to retrieve sothing of mine."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised and said, "That's strange, I can't think of anything of mine that's yours."
Huang Jian smiled and said, "You seem to have forgotten quite a bit, perhaps I could jog your mory."
"Go ahead, I'm curious to know what it is that I might have," Ling Zhenfei said, puzzled.
Huang Jian said, "You must have quite the mory, sir. Don't you know what items with you aren't yours? Let ask, do you know Nangong Changhe?"
Ling Zhenfei was surprised at this question, of course, he knew Nangong Changhe, but he had believed Nangong Changhe to be long dead, so why would anyone ntion him now?
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, I'm well aware of Nangong Changhe. Why bring him up? Nangong Changhe already leapt to his death."
Huang Jian said, "While Nangong Changhe is dead, sothing of his ended up in your hands, and it's ti to return it."
Ling Zhenfei was shocked and asked, "What item?"
Huang Jian replied, "Just a painting."
Upon hearing that it was a painting, Ling Zhenfei imdiately understood that Huang Jian was referring to the Peach Flowers' Secret Realm Map in his possession.
Pretending to be unaware, Ling Zhenfei said, "What painting? I don't recall having any painting of Nangong Changhe's."
Huang Jian laughed and said, "Mr. Ling, let's not joke around. We know there were so disputes between you and Nangong Changhe, but it's just between you two. I only hope you'll return what belongs to our sect."
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Nangong Changhe is dead, if you have anything to discuss, take it up with him; it has nothing to do with ."
Huang Jian said, "Mr. Ling, let's not beat around the bush; we know the item is on you; please return it to us."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, for there was no way he planned to hand over the Peach Blossom Secret Realm to Huang Jian.
The benefits contained within the Peach Blossom Secret Realm were just beginning to reveal themselves to Ling Zhenfei.
With the Heart-Talk Fruit Trees he planted there and his comfortable life with the Peach Flower Fairy, not to ntion the many secrets of the Star Lords, there was no way Ling Zhenfei would give it up.
Ling Zhenfei said, "What evidence do you have to prove that the Peach Blossom Secret Realm is with ?"
Huang Jian smiled and said, "Sir, let put it this way, the Peach Flowers' Secret Realm Map is our sect's treasure, always safeguarded by our Sect Leader.
The forr Sect Leader, Nangong Changhe, had kept it, but when he died, we searched everywhere and eventually found that it is now with you."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Allow to ask respectfully, what sect do you belong to?"
Huang Jian said, "We belong to the Guimou Sect, established a very long ti ago, our founder was the renowned Guiguzi of the Spring and Autumn Period."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Ah, Guigu, impressive indeed. I only know of Guiguzi's disciples like Sun Bin and Pang Juan, and Su Qin and Zhang Yi, but I've never heard of the Guimou Sect."
