Chapter 1284 - 1281: Long Deng
Jiangbei City.
Due to Zhang Wenhui's sudden disappearance, Feng Lingfeng and the others were at a loss.
Among these people, Fan Changhe and Feng Lingfeng were older and more experienced, so Fan Changhe suggested that everyone go back and discuss what to do.
As for those possessed inside Haiqing Pool, following the disappearance of the ghostly lord, these possessed individuals suddenly fainted.
Putting aside the matter of Haiqing Pool, let's talk about Feng'er, who's feeling extremely down; his weapon Breaking Sun was taken by the ghostly lord, and he hasn't been able to retrieve it.
Feng'er didn't follow Fan Changhe, Feng Lingfeng, and Lai Xiaole back to the hotel, instead he walked alone along the street.
After walking a while, he realized he didn't know where he was; suddenly the sound of a fight came from ahead.
Feng'er hesitated slightly, then walked forward.
Under the dim streetlights ahead, he saw a group of people beating up one person.
The person being beaten seemed incapable of fighting back, enduring the beating without letting out a single cry of pain.
As a descendant of the Kunlun lineage, Feng'er naturally felt a sense of righteousness, and couldn't stand by, so he shouted, "What are you doing?"
The assailants heard Feng'er's shout, stopped, and turned to look at him.
These guys were dressed in a bizarre manner, clearly street thugs.
One guy with yellow hair cursed at Feng'er, "Mind your own damn business, get lost."
Feng'er wore a faint smile and continued walking forward.
Approaching the group, Feng'er looked at the fighters, then glanced at the person being attacked.
The person being beaten was very young, seemingly under twenty, with bloodstains on his face and an unyielding look in his eyes.
Seeing Feng'er approach, these guys rushed at him.
At that moment, the beaten youth shouted, "It's not his fault, don't make things difficult for him."
As he said this, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, blocking the thugs from reaching Feng'er.
In Feng'er's eyes, these thugs were insignificant; seeing the youth jump up and block them made him curious.
The thugs, faced with the youth, seemed to overwhelm him easily, beating him again until he fell.
Feng'er couldn't hold back, he moved swiftly, and in an instant, the thugs cried out in pain as they fell to the ground.
Within moments, Feng'er had handled the street thugs.
The youth got up from the ground, showing no surprise or astonishment, instead remaining calm, he said to Feng'er, "I told you, it's not your matter, you insist on intervening."
Feng'er was completely stunned; the youth was surprisingly impolite, not only was he ungrateful for being saved but he sounded as if he was blaming Feng'er.
As Feng'er stood there stunned, the youth was about to turn and leave.
"Hey, wait, I haven't asked your name yet!" Feng'er hurriedly called out to the youth.
The youth turned to look at Feng'er, and said indifferently, "My name is Long Deng."
After answering Feng'er, Long Deng's expression changed slightly, as if harboring an inexplicable animosity towards his savior Feng'er.
Long Deng, what a strange name; Feng'er tried to ask more, but Long Deng said no more, turning and leaving.
Feng'er sighed; the youth was truly peculiar, he'd reached him. With a glance at the thugs still writhing on the ground, he turned to leave too.
Returning to the hotel, Ye Ling was already waiting for Feng'er.
Seeing Feng'er made Ye Ling very happy, she coyly blamed him, "Where have you been? Why are you back so late? I've been worried sick."
Since saving Ye Ling at Kunlun Mountain, and having seen Ye Ling's body, Feng'er had a complex feeling towards Ye Ling; hearing her concerned words, he replied with a smile, "I was just out for a walk, no big deal."
Ye Ling pouted and said, "Next time you're going somewhere, you must let me know first."
Seeing Ye Ling's reaction, Feng'er smiled and said to her, "Don't be overly worried, rest assured, I'm not interested in you!"
His words clearly showed a sense of jest, but were somewhat insincere.
"Are you even a man?" Ye Ling snapped back upon hearing Feng'er's words, her cheeks turned red; mixed feelings of disappointment were the true reason for her blushing.
Feng'er chuckled, suddenly changing the subject, he said, "Ye Ling, can you help me find someone?"
This was the first time Feng'er asked her for help, Ye Ling couldn't refuse, promptly asking who he was looking for.
Feng'er replied, "His name is Long Deng, a youth under twenty."
Ye Ling blinked, but didn't say anything, letting Feng'er wait a moment, she moved to the side and started calling on her phone, within a few minutes, she'd gathered information on Long Deng.
The Ye family was well-known in Linjiang City; although they were in Jiangbei City, finding someone was no trouble for Ye Ling.
"Long Deng, from Jiangbei, lives in Xu Family Alley nearby, he's an orphan, raised by his sister. As a child, he suffered a serious illness, nearly died, won two small flowers in kindergarten, and otherwise, Long Deng has lived a rather ordinary life without any twists or turns, quite plain. Notably, Long Deng still doesn't have a girlfriend!" Ye Ling skillfully rattled off all this information, the main aim being to impress Feng'er and earn his praise.
