The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 625: Chapter 625 Where is Gu Xinghe?

Jing Yan had followed Gu Xinghe into the Black Stone Mountain Range, and it had already been a week, so it was normal for Jing Tianying and Zhou Shangyun to be worried.

Although the core area of the Black Stone Mountain Range was dangerous, that was only for ordinary Martial Artists. For Martial Artists at the Daoist Master Realm, one only needed to be a bit cautious, and they could almost roam the entire range.

Even the top Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts were only equivalent to Human Martial Artists at the Dao Spirit Realm Peak or the Early Dao Master Realm. There were no Divine Beasts in the Black Stone Mountain Range.

Jing Tianying and Zhou Shangyun were discussing, when a red figure walked in.

”Prince, City Lord!” The red figure bowed to the two men.

”Has Mr. Jing Yan not returned yet?” She then asked with a somewhat anxious tone.

”Ah, Gao Feng, Jing Yan hasn’t come back yet.” Jing Tianying shook his head.

The young woman in the red dress was Gao Feng.

When Jing Yan and Gu Xinghe returned to Donglin City, they did not meet with Gao Feng. By the time Gao Feng received the news of Jing Yan’s return, he had already entered the Black Stone Mountain Range. They missed the chance to meet.

In the recent days, Gao Feng had come to the City Lord Mansion almost daily to inquire if Jing Yan had returned from the Black Stone Mountain Range.

”Miss Gao Feng, you need not worry. Jing Yan’s strength far surpasses mine, and there is nothing in the Black Stone Mountain Range that could threaten him.” Zhou Shangyun said as he looked at Gao Feng.

Speaking of Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Cultivation, Zhou Shangyun also felt deeply nostalgic. What was more daunting was that Jing Yan not only progressed rapidly in Martial Arts Cultivation, but he was also an Intermediate Alchemist and a Basic-level Array Master.

One really can’t compare people.

”Hmm, thank you, Prince and City Lord.” Gao Feng nodded.

Even though it seemed casual, the concern in Gao Feng’s beautiful eyes did not lessen at all.

It had been several years since they parted in Haofeng City, and she hadn’t seen Jing Yan during that time.

Gao Feng herself didn’t know why she missed Jing Yan so much.

She thought that with time, her longing would gradually subside, but in reality, her yearning intensified. Over the years, she didn’t know how many times she had visited the City Lord Mansion and the Jing Family to inquire about Jing Yan’s news.

When in Haofeng City, Gao Feng was only a Martial Artist at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven, not yet stepping into the Innate.

But upon arriving in Donglin City, in just a few years, she had already reached the Peak of Innate. Her Martial Arts Cultivation had even surpassed her brother by two minor realms.

The talent of the siblings was almost the same, and the resources they obtained were similar.

Why then, was Gao Feng progressing so much faster than Gao Zhan?

Because she was determined and worked extremely hard in cultivation. She knew the vast gap between her and Jing Yan, and she wanted to narrow this gap. Only by lessening the gap would she be worthy of Jing Yan.

”President Gao Feng, the Fiery Flame Commerce hasn’t encountered any difficulties lately, has it?” After asking Gao Feng to sit down, Jing Tianying inquired.

The Flame Adventure Team had established the Fiery Flame Commerce, and Gao Feng was the president.

Within the old Flame Adventure Team, Gao Feng’s strength had already been the strongest.

”The development of the commerce is going smoothly; there aren’t any troubles. My brother, Team Leader Li Yong, and I are all very grateful for the City Lord’s support to the Fiery Flame Commerce.” Gao Feng replied.

Gao Feng spoke the truth; without the support of City Lord Jing Tianying, establishing a commerce in Donglin City would not have been so easy.

Jing Tianying knew that Gao Feng and Jing Yan had a somewhat special relationship, so naturally, he greatly took care of her. The Jing Family also greatly supported the development of the Fiery Flame Commerce to a considerable extent.

”That’s good! President Gao Feng, if you have any unsolvable problems, just come to me. The development of the Fiery Flame Commerce is indeed fast, and I believe that in the future, it could definitely become one of the top commerce hubs in Lanqu County.” Jing Tianying said with a smile.

”Heh, as the Prince, I will support as well.” Zhou Shangyun also said with a smile.

Zhou Shangyun originally didn’t know that Gao Feng and Jing Yan knew each other, but in the past few days, Gao Feng had constantly come over to ask about Jing Yan, and Zhou Shangyun naturally wondered about their relationship. After inquiring with Jing Tianying, he found out that Gao Feng’s coming to Donglin City was Jing Yan’s idea, which clearly showed that Gao Feng and Jing Yan had an unusual relationship.

Upon hearing this, he naturally took it to heart and became particularly courteous toward Gao Feng.

As they were speaking, a guard from the City Lord Mansion quickly entered.

”Lords, Lord Jing Yan has returned!” the guard announced loudly upon entering.

”What?”

The three people in the room immediately stood up from their seats.

Before the guard could speak again, the room was already joined by another person, Jing Yan, who had returned from the Black Stone Mountain Range.

Though Jing Tianying had ordered people to guard the entrance of the Black Stone Mountain Range, Jing Yan moved so fast. Those guards took time to see Jing Yan return to the mansion to report, and of course, they couldn’t be faster than Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan?”

”Haha, I just said everything would be fine.”

”Mr. Jing Yan...”

Several people joyfully called out one after the other.

”Gao Feng?” Jing Yan saw Gao Feng, who was slightly startled.

To be honest, Jing Yan knew Gao Feng seemed to like him. To say he had no feelings for Gao Feng would be deceiving himself.

Gao Feng’s personality was straightforward and a bit abrupt, which Jing Yan quite liked. Moreover, Gao Feng’s appearance was top-notch across the entire Heavenly Origin Continent, especially her figure, which was beyond reproach.

As Jing Yan was briefly stunned, the red shadow had already thrown herself into his arms.

After years of longing, seeing him now, Gao Feng couldn’t control herself.

It took quite a while before Gao Feng slowly stepped back a little, shyly lowering her head, yet her eyes still faintly glistened with tears.

This scene, even Jing Tianying and Zhou Shangyun, watched somewhat foolishly.

”This Gao Feng really can be compared to my daughter.” Zhou Shangyun sighed in his heart.

For a long time, he believed his daughter Bai Xue, could not find anyone to compare with in appearance across the entire continent. But now, Zhou Shangyun felt that Gao Feng seemed able to compare to Bai Xue.

He suddenly became somewhat anxious.

What if Jing Yan and Gao Feng got together? What about his daughter Bai Xue?

As a father, he understood his daughter well; he could be certain that Bai Xue also liked Jing Yan. However, Bai Xue’s personality was relatively cold, not good at expressing her inner feelings. To expect her to take initiative was probably harder than scaling the heavens.

Shaking his head, Zhou Shangyun didn’t know how to handle it and could only let things take their course.

”Jing Yan, that Young Master Gu, did he cause you any trouble? Did he find the Ancient Cave Mansion?” Jing Tianying laughed a bit and looked towards Jing Yan.

”Right, where is Gu Xinghe? Isn’t he with you?” Zhou Shangyun looked behind Jing Yan.

There seemed to be no one else following Jing Yan. Could it be that Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin had already left on their own?
