Chapter 1508: Chapter 1507: Great Immortal?
Ling Feng smiled, "What’s with the thanks? Talking about this now is way too formal!"
"I know, but I just don’t know how else to express it, so that’s all I can say," Tang Xiaoqian said.
The two of them chatted while holding each other, basking in tender feelings, wishing for ti to stand still.
But soon, the sky gradually turned white, and a new day was beginning.
Ling Feng urged Tang Xiaoqian to get so sleep, and he also dozed off for a bit.
When it was fully bright, he quietly left.
Soon, he was back in the small town on the outskirts of Yinzhou City. Ling Feng ca out of the bedroom and just happened to see Lin Yu yawning as he walked out, so he laughed and said, "Morning!"
"Good morning, Chief!"
Lin Yu’s face turned red, feeling like he must look terribly disheveled, so he rushed into the bathroom.
Ling Feng didn’t mind, chuckled, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he got the fire going, the door was knocked on.
Opening the door, he saw it was the landlord again, and Ling Feng couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s up, landlord? I haven’t even started cooking, and you’re here already?"
"No, Mr. Ling, I’m not here to ask for food this ti."
The landlord looked a bit embarrassed, smiled, and said, "Yesterday I took so food from you, and then my aunt from my hotown ca, and I hardly got to eat any. She finished it all!"
"Oh, and then?"
Ling Feng found his words sowhat unclear and asked curiously.
"This morning, my aunt called and said she wants to invite you over to help cook a al. She’s hosting guests today, and she wants to know if you could help," the landlord asked.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was speechless.
Is this seriously happening? Do they think I’m a chef or sothing?
He really didn’t want to deal with such trivial matters, so he smiled, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, the ingredients I use for cooking can’t be bought in the market. Regular veggies and at just don’t taste the sa, so I can’t help."
"Oh, I see. Well, I thought my aunt’s request was a bit much, but I had to say it; she’s got such a fiery temper, I can’t cross her!"
The landlord said, then turned and walked downstairs, "I’ve done my part, so now I’m not responsible anymore!"
Watching him leave, Ling Feng shook his head helplessly.
Then he returned to the kitchen to continue cooking and heard Lin Yu co out of the bathroom. Without turning around, Ling Feng said, "Tell Lin Chen and the others to co back for breakfast. It’ll be ready soon!"
"Okay, sure!"
Lin Yu replied and went back to his room.
As breakfast was ready, Lin Chen and Sun Rui returned.
While eating, Ling Feng asked about any progress, but it was the sa as before, with no new developnts.
Lin Chen seed a bit lazy, looking helplessly at Ling Feng, "Chief, this can’t go on, they’re staying dormant. Are we just going to keep watching?"
"Just watch then. If you find this work isn’t fun, I can transfer you back," Ling Feng said.
"No, I didn’t an it like that!" Lin Chen quickly waved his hand.
Even though the stakeout was tough, being with the chief and getting to taste his delicious food was much better than being stuck back at the bureau; he wasn’t stupid!
Seeing him like that, Ling Feng also smiled and said, "Don’t worry, that group won’t hold still for long. Even if they don’t move, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect will make them move!"
"Why?"
Lin Chen was puzzled and asked.
"Why? With Tian Lian suddenly going quiet, can the Leader of the Tongtian Sect just stay silent? Even if he doesn’t show himself, he’d have his subordinates see what’s going on!" Lin Yu said.
"That’s exactly it!"
Ling Feng gave her an approving look.
After breakfast, Lin Chen and Sun Rui went back to their rooms to rest. Ling Feng and Lin Yu headed downstairs, ready to continue their surveillance.
As soon as they got down the stairs, about to head to the car, an e-bike suddenly stopped at the grocery store’s entrance, and a stout woman got off, kicked open the store’s door with a bang, "Where are they? Co out!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, unsure of what was happening; it seed like soone was causing a scene!
So he glanced at Lin Yu, "You go ahead, I’ll check out what’s happening at the landlord’s place."
"Alright."
Lin Yu nodded and left. Ling Feng went to the grocery store’s entrance and saw the landlord coming out of the back room, smiling and speaking to the stout woman.
Seeing Ling Feng outside, the landlord seized the mont as if he’d found a savior and imdiately said, "Aunt, look, this is Mr. Ling, the one who cooks. Everything I said is true; if you don’t believe , ask him!"
Ling Feng understood the situation now and thought, I wish I hadn’t shown up!
But by then, the stout woman had co over, sizing him up, "You’re Ling Feng?"
"I am. You’re not the landlord’s aunt, are you?"
This woman didn’t look a day over thirty; the age gap seed too large!
To his surprise, the woman nodded, "That’s right, I’m his aunt. What, I heard you declined my request for help?"
Ling Feng felt speechless; it seed like she was just a shrew, so he smiled, "Yeah, first, I don’t have the ti, and second, I don’t have the ingredients to cook, so I declined."
"You’re really ungrateful.
inviting you over is giving you a huge honor; don’t you know who I am?" the woman retorted angrily.
"Uh, I honestly don’t know."
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, thinking, What kind of logic is this? Being asked to cook turned into honoring ?
"My aunt is a well-known Great Immortal in the village, known all around for her accurate fortune-telling!" the landlord added from the side.
"Oh, is that so?"
After hearing that, Ling Feng felt even more speechless.
In rural areas, there are often people who claim to have been blessed by the gods and have beco spirit diums, often giving divinations for incense money and feng shui, and so even dare to treat illnesses.
But these things are mostly scams, with few genuine practitioners.
The fiery-tempered and overbearing woman before him was probably just a fraudster.
Noticing the disdain in Ling Feng’s eyes, the woman narrowed her eyes, "What? You don’t believe ?"
"No, it’s just that I’ve never heard of it before; it’s a bit surprising!"
Ling Feng chuckled, turning around, "Sorry, I’ve got things to do, so I won’t disturb you further!"
"Leaving?"
The woman scoffed, watching Ling Feng’s back, "Don’t regret it when you’re gone. I know you’re not an ordinary person, and I know what you’re doing in town. Believe it or not, once you leave, the ones you’re after will never be caught?"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng instantly paused, sowhat surprised, and looked back at her, "You know quite a lot, huh?"
"Well, are you impressed now?"
The woman looked pleased with herself, gave a cold laugh, and asked, "Want to co and cook for ?"
