Urban All-Round Master

Capítulo 1539: Chapter 1573: Zhang Yuxuan Also Likes Lin Zifeng

“Elder Qingyao, did the Mother Empress really send you to show me the miserable lives of those struggling refugees?” Lin Zifeng frowned, looking down at the refugees struggling in the cavern below.

Most of these people had severe physical and mental trauma, and some were even deranged men and women. He couldn’t understand why the Liu Shen Clan would keep these people imprisoned here.

“No.” Liu Qingyao glanced back at him and said, “The people you’re seeing, they’re you in ten years!”

“Why do you say that?”

“Most of these people are members cast out by the clan. Some have caught dreadful diseases, others have lost their minds, and some have incurable illnesses. Those men are even ones abandoned by the Elders of the Liu Shen’s direct bloodline. Don’t think that just because you married Liu Tangtang, your life will be great. Back then, these men were all treasures, loved dearly by those Elders. But later on?

After being imprisoned in this isolated clan for so long, anyone would change. They all think about how to escape. Once you start thinking of leaving, according to clan rules, those women who once held you like a treasure will be the ones to imprison you here until you lose your mind!”

As he finished, Liu Qingyao fell silent for a moment, leaving some time for Lin Zifeng to imagine the dreadful end.

Lin Zifeng remained silent.

Looking at those people living in the dark pit ahead of him, he felt deeply uncomfortable.

“Elder Qingyao, did you bring me here today just to show me these clan members living a life worse than death? And then scare me into leaving early? I don’t understand why you’re doing this?”

Lin Zifeng really couldn’t understand why Liu Qingyao wanted him to leave.

“Hahaha… why? There’s no reason. I just don’t want you to become like them,” Liu Qingyao said.

“…” Lin Zifeng was speechless.

Cut～ You think I’m so naive to believe you’re that kind-hearted? Give it a rest.

“Hey! Where are you going?”

After Liu Qingyao finished laughing, she ignored him and left the area with a flick of her sleeve.

“Of course, I’m finding a place to stay. Why would I stay here to listen to your nonsense?” Lin Zifeng gradually walked away… not knowing what this woman was up to.

He wanted to leave, but was it really as easy as she said? With Liu Jiuhuang being so powerful. If only he could leave…

…

Meanwhile, back in Zhonghai City. It had been two to three days since anyone had heard from Lin Zifeng. Zhang Mengjie was starting to get anxious. Lin Zifeng hadn’t mentioned anything to anyone when he left, but had promised Zhang Mengjie he would return in a couple of days. Yet now a few days had slipped by. Not only hadn’t he come back, but there wasn’t even a phone call. This situation was making Zhang Mengjie uneasy.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

Zhang Yuxuan, who had been staying by Zhang Mengjie’s side, noticed her sister’s unease and quickly stepped in to reassure her.

“Nothing, nothing. I guess I’m just a bit tired lately.” Zhang Mengjie lowered her head slightly, pressing her fingers to her temples to ease some of her tense fatigue…

She was worried about Lin Zifeng’s disappearance, but even if she told her sister about it, she couldn’t do anything to help. Rather than burden her sister, she preferred to shoulder everything herself.

“Is it because Lin hasn’t shown up lately? Are you thinking about Lin Zifeng?”

Mentioning Lin Zifeng, both Zhang Mengjie and Zhang Yuxuan blushed with a smile. Especially Zhang Yuxuan, who was the most excited, because it was she who had first met Lin Zifeng. But later, her sister and Lin Zifeng got involved so quickly, she had no choice but to step back.

Previously, the presence of Cang Jinyun had heightened Zhang Yuxuan’s sense of crisis… then when Cang Jinyun quietly left the South Heavenly Gate, Zhang Yuxuan felt a small sense of relief. Zhang Mengjie didn’t say it, but she also felt relieved, as there was one less competitor.

“Yuxuan, what nonsense are you saying?”

“Nonsense? I’m not talking nonsense! Did I say anything wrong?” Zhang Yuxuan poked her tongue out cheekily and, hugging Zhang Mengjie, swayed a bit, saying, “Sister, can I tell you something?”

“What is it?”

“I mean, if someday… if someday…” this time, Zhang Yuxuan did not avoid her sister’s gaze and encouraged herself. Several times she wanted to tell her sister what was in her heart, but in the end, she held back and didn’t say it.

However, just as she was about to speak.

That cursed phone rang.

“Sister, it’s the Ability Group calling.” Zhang Yuxuan disappointedly pulled out her phone and glanced at the number displayed.

“The Ability Group? Give it to me. Quickly.” Zhang Mengjie snatched the phone, her eyes full of excitement, thinking the Ability Group had news of Lin Zifeng, then got up and walked into the room. Leaving Zhang Yuxuan pouting, deep in her own disappointment as she watched her sister step inside.

“Actually… I just wanted to ask, if I also liked Brother Lin, would you let me have him? I just like him purely. I won’t compete with you. You even asked Brother Lin to accept me before. Now… why don’t you bring it up anymore…”

………

“Meng, Master Meng!” The voice on the other end of the phone belonged to Meng Chanji from the Ability Group, and Zhang Mengjie felt a bit uneasy. Previously, it was always Asura who kept in touch, but this time, it was the leader of the Ability Group.

This made Zhang Mengjie feel out of place.

To her, a figure like Meng Chanji was from another world entirely, someone unreachable!

Over the phone, Meng Chanji also mentioned that they couldn’t get in touch with Lin Zifeng. He also shared that the United States’ Federation Bureau had reported Lin Zifeng’s disappearance after entering Bermuda, losing even satellite tracking of their location. It was quite possible… they were gone.

Meng Chanji could hardly believe Lin Zifeng would perish so easily, but in a perilous place like Bermuda, no one wanted to face such a dreadful outcome.

Zhang Mengjie was stunned on the spot～

“Impossible! Could the Federation Bureau be mistaken?” Zhang Mengjie tried desperately to correct it, hoping Meng Chanji would give her even the slightest hope that he was alive, anything to ease her heart…

Even so, Meng Chanji believed Lin Zifeng wouldn’t die that easily. This comforted Zhang Mengjie’s anxious mind…
