"Oh, really?" Liu Zhen Feixu looked skeptical.
Thus, they chatted all the way. After more than ten hours of travel, they finally returned to Jinzhou City.
"Miss Liu Zhen, where will you be getting off?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Drop me off at Xiafei Road, my friend lives nearby."
"Alright."
A few tens of minutes later, Zhou Hong arrived at Xiafei Road, and Liu Zhen Feixu got off at the intersection.
"Thank you, little brother Zhou Hong."
"Senior Liu Zhen, you're welcome," Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret," Liu Zhen Feixu winked at Zhou Hong. Although she didn't know why Zhou Hong was so low-key, she was not one to gossip.
"Haha," Zhou Hong couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
Zhou Hong drove away. Liu Zhen Feixu watched his departing Porsche and secretly thought, "What a strange person. So young yet possessing such formidable strength. If placed in the capital, only families of third-rate or above could cultivate such an individual."
Liu Zhen Feixu was filled with admiration. With Zhou Hong's strength, he could easily rank within the top fifty, or even the top thirty, on the Capital's Young Prodigies List.
Such a caliber was someone she, a young lady from a ninth-rate family, wouldn't have dared to dream of befriending. Yet, she had actually met a genius of this level. On the way back, Liu Zhen Feixu had already gotten Zhou Hong's phone number and added him on WeChat.
"Ring, ring, ring...!" Just then, Liu Zhen Feixu's phone rang. She looked at it and saw it was her friend, Changsun Qinghe.
"Hello, Feixu, are you here yet? Where are you? I'll come pick you up." Changsun Qinghe's voice came through immediately after the call was answered.
"I'm at Xiafei Road, by the entrance of the Industrial and Commercial Bank."
"Okay, I'm not far behind, I'll be right there."
Half a minute later, Changsun Qinghe drove a car and stopped beside Liu Zhen Feixu.
"Feixu."
"Qinghe."
Both of them seemed very happy, having not seen each other for more than half a year.
"Get in quickly."
"Mmm-hmm."
After getting into the car, Changsun Qinghe immediately asked nervously, "Feixu, you really scared me. I thought you were actually being chased by the Dugu family," Changsun Qinghe said with lingering fear. As best friends, they naturally knew some of each other's secrets. Sudancan.com
"Yes, I thought I was doomed. So I left the capital and hid in Kunlun Mountain. I didn't expect the Dugu family to send a Venerable to Kunlun Mountain to find me. But it wasn't my time to die. I happened to encounter a powerful expert in Kunlun Mountain. That expert's strength... was terrifyingly immense." As Liu Zhen Feixu said this, her eyes showed a hint of immense worship, and a smile touched her lips.
Seeing her expression, Changsun Qinghe frowned slightly.
"Feixu, your expression isn't right. The expert who saved you, is he more than just an expert? Could it be that you've fallen for him?" Changsun Qinghe chuckled.
"Qinghe, I won't lie to you. The expert who saved me is very young. His strength is enough to utterly defeat that Venerable from the Dugu family."
"Wow, there's actually such a young expert who saved you. No wonder you're smiling like that. You've probably already lost your heart to him."
"Hehe, how could I be worthy?" Liu Zhen Feixu shook her head with a wry smile. Experts of this caliber, if placed in the capital, could rank within the top fifty of the Young Prodigies List. She, a young lady from a ninth-rate family, shouldn't get her hopes up.
"Who is this expert? He's so young, he can't be an insignificant figure in the capital. Perhaps I've heard of him," Changsun Qinghe asked with great curiosity.
"He didn't allow me to reveal his information, so I can't say. Anyway, he's very young and very powerful."
"Alright then, I won't pry. It's good that you're safe."
"Mmm-hmm, by the way, Qinghe, what about you? How's your position as captain of the criminal police in Jinzhou City? You came here to gain experience as a criminal police captain. What's your martial cultivation realm now?" Liu Zhen Feixu also asked busily.
"Haha, it's alright. My martial cultivation realm has reached level fifty-seven of the Martial Practitioner," Changsun Qinghe said with some joy.
"Wow, that's amazing! But I'm also at level fifty-seven."
"Wow, then we sisters must celebrate properly."
"Mmm-hmm, I came to Jinzhou City this time precisely to have a good get-together with you. By the way, have you found a suitable husband since you've been in Jinzhou City for so long? Ask him out," Liu Zhen Feixu asked with a chuckle.
"What suitable husband?" Changsun Qinghe's face turned slightly red. However, an image suddenly flashed in her mind: it was in the forest park when she was almost violated by a powerful rapist, and suddenly a young man descended from the sky. That young man was incredibly powerful, and also very handsome. She had wanted to ask for his contact information, and if he was still single, Changsun Qinghe had thought that she was not young anymore, and it wouldn't be bad to have a passionate relationship with a man she found quite attractive.
Unfortunately, that guy refused to reveal his name, only saying they would meet again if fate allowed.
"Qinghe, that smile of yours isn't right. Hurry up and tell me, who is it?" Liu Zhen Feixu immediately saw through Changsun Qinghe's smile and deduced something.
"Alright, there is indeed a man who has moved me greatly. Even though it was our first meeting, I still have the urge to fall in love. It's just a pity that he might not be interested in me," Changsun Qinghe sighed with regret.
"No way, you're so beautiful, who wouldn't be interested in you?"
"Why would I lie to you? He didn't even tell me his name, which clearly indicates he has no intentions in that regard," Changsun Qinghe said with a bitter smile, feeling a little dejected. She was, after all, a beauty pursued by many.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. We're home," Changsun Qinghe said as she drove into a residential complex.
At this moment, Zhou Hong also returned to the Qiao family.
As for Liu Hua, Zhou Hong dropped him off in the shantytown.
It was late now, and families were preparing dinner.
"Zhou Hong, where have you been hiding these past few days?" As soon as Zhou Hong got out of the car, a girl's voice reached his ears. This girl was none other than Qiao Xiaoyu.
"Uh! Hiding?" Zhou Hong was somewhat bewildered. Why would Qiao Xiaoyu ask where he had been hiding? Did he need to hide?
Zhou Hong was unaware that during the days he was in Kunlun Mountain, Jinzhou University had erupted. The Three Great Marauders, Cao Xiulang, Duan Jingang, and Pang Qingtian, had issued a joint statement, declaring that they would make Zhou Hong unable to ascend to heaven or find refuge on earth, and that he would regret ever coming into this world.
Unfortunately, for nearly a week, there had been no news of Zhou Hong. No one knew where he had gone into hiding.
