Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Blossoming
One a.m.
The bustling Demon Capital was still brightly lit, with neon lights on the exteriors of high-rises continuing to flicker.
Atop one of the skyscrapers, Ling Feng and Lin Xue sat together on the rooftop, embracing each other.
In front of them lay the vast city, with Lin Xue nestled in Ling Feng’s arms, whispering softly.
"It’s now certain that the news has leaked. That Kondo was in the building for about an hour, so the matter must have been reported back ho by now."
However, he didn’t know what Ling Feng had obtained; he could only speculate that it was sothing from the teorite fall.
Even if it’s deduced that Professor Tang is a biology professor, it doesn’t have much significance.
But Ling Feng and Lin Xue still felt that after this incident, the headquarters might have new arrangents.
The two sat on the rooftop of the building for a long ti, not leaving until they saw the sunrise over this international city.
Just back on the university campus, Ling Feng’s phone rang.
The caller was Han Wancheng, with only one thing to say, the mission in the Demon Capital was over, and Ling Feng was asked to return imdiately.
As for the follow-up arrangents, he would find out after reaching Longyuan.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng and Lin Xue looked at each other and smiled, their prediction from last night was indeed correct!
After packing up a bit, they visited Professor Tang at the hospital. He had only suffered a head injury and was not in any life-threatening danger; he could be discharged after a few days of rest.
Professor Tang also knew about the change in the mission plan. Although reluctant and eager to study it himself, he knew it involved secrets. Since there had been a mishap on his side, he had to reluctantly let it go.
After saying goodbye to Professor Tang and his daughter, Ling Feng and Lin Xue left in a special car and flew back to Longyuan by two o’clock in the afternoon.
As soon as he walked in, Du Song ca up to him, beaming, "Congratulations, boss!"
"Congratulations for what?"
Ling Feng was a bit confused and asked in astonishnt.
"You’ve made a contribution in the Demon Capital! That Kondo guy is a big fish. Thanks to his confession, several Dongying spies have also been rooted out in the Capital City!" Du Song said, laughing.
"Uh, I didn’t know that!"
Ling Feng smiled wryly. He had been busy enjoying a private world on the skyscraper’s rooftop last night, unaware that so much had happened in the outside world.
At that mont, Chen Ping also ca out to greet him, looked at Ling Feng, and said approvingly, "Well done. Although there was a slight mishap, it was not a big deal!"
"Director, what are the headquarters’ arrangents now?" Ling Feng asked.
"The seed has been given to you. Director Han’s exact words were that it seems there’s no safer place than with you, Ling Feng!" Chen Ping said with a smile.
Ling Feng was speechless, feeling sowhat unexpectedly flattered.
"However, Director Han ans that you have to report your research findings daily!" Chen Ping changed the tone of the conversation.
Ling Feng paused for a mont, "What do you an? Are you sending soone over to my place?"
"Is that inconvenient?" Chen Ping asked.
"Of course, it’s inconvenient!" Ling Feng shook his head like a rattle.
Chen Ping chuckled, "I knew you’d say that, so I thought of a solution for you!"
"What solution?" Ling Feng asked.
Chen Ping grinned, "You definitely don’t feel like observing those plants daily. I’m guessing it’s one of the girls managing them for you. No matter who it is, I can recruit her into the security bureau to beco one of us. That would be convenient!"
Seeing the smile on his face, Ling Feng was stunned for a mont, then asked suspiciously, "Boss, you’re not trying to poach my people, are you?"
"What are you thinking? I am doing this for work. Could I even dig a person out if I wanted to?" Chen Ping glared at him.
"Exactly!" Ling Feng chuckled, then continued, "Alright, I’ll tell you Wan’er’s information later. Just follow the procedure for the review; her background is very simple. There won’t be any problems!"
"Okay, then get lost and get back to work. This is an urgent matter; we can’t delay," Chen Ping said with a laugh and a wave of his hand.
"Got it!"
As Ling Feng smiled and prepared to leave, he noticed Du Song and He Bing’s eager looks, so he turned back and asked, "By the way, boss, if Wan’er needs to upload her daily results, should I install so equipnt at my place?"
Chen Ping glanced at him and then at the other two, imdiately grasping Ling Feng’s intention, and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, let those two go as well. They can install and calibrate the equipnt, and stay for three or four days."
"Thank you, Director!"
Du Song and He Bing were overjoyed, almost jumping up with excitent!
The two of them were eager to go to Ling Feng’s place, not for anything else, but for the delicious food there. Now they could stay for three or four days and feast to their hearts’ content!
Thus, they excitedly grabbed their equipnt and followed Ling Feng into the car, leaving Longyuan.
After returning to Shiliu Village, Ling Feng didn’t rush to the Nine Heavens but first helped Du Song and the others to install the encrypted communication equipnt. After they were finished, he sent the two off to Sun Hao’s place, and then he and Lin Xue headed to the Nine Heavens.
After teleporting there, the two did not stop but went straight to the Third Layer.
Upon arrival, they found that everyone was there!
Li Shiyun, Ling Yao, Li Fei’er, and Mo Jiaolan, among others.
Even Li Yun’er and Bai Ling were there.
Seeing the two of them, Ling Feng was quite surprised, but he also guessed that it was Ling Yao’s decision and said nothing more.
The strange tree that was previously a little over one ter tall and split into five branches had now grown more than ten ters high, with a trunk that was thicker than Li Fei’er’s waist by a whole circle. The five branches were slightly thinner, now fully covered with green leaves.
When everyone saw Ling Feng return, they were stunned for a mont, but then no one spoke and quickly turned their attention back to the tree.
Curious, Ling Feng approached and asked, "Shiyun, what’s going on?"
"The tree is about to bear fruit," Li Shiyun said.
"That quickly?"
Ling Feng was astonished and found it hard to believe.
Li Shiyun looked at him, "Don’t you know Wan’er’s ability to enhance the growth of plants? Plus the spiritual energy here is very rich, so it naturally grows rapidly!"
"Where’s the fruit?"
Ling Feng was curious and stepped under the tree.
Looking up, he could only see green leaves on the five branches and no sign of any fruit!
Turning to look at the won, he felt a bit bewildered, so he turned to Wang Wan’er, "Where’s the fruit?"
"Just wait, it’s about to bloom!" Wang Wan’er answered.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the girls’ eyes widened, and Ling Feng quickly turned around.
Then he saw countless colorful buds appearing amidst the tree leaves on the branches, blossoming rapidly like a ti-lapse in a TV show!
A fragrant aroma wafted over.
The buds were of different colors, with each branch having the sa color but distinct from the others.
The flowers were five different colors: red, blue, gold, brown, and yellow.
Ling Feng looked on in surprise, "What does this an?"
