Chapter 54: The Gossip Story of Two Women

  "How long have you been gone? We thought something had happened to you!" Zhuge Ling'er said with a huff.

  "We just let Yifan call a video to see if you were caught......" Long Yue was interrupted by Ye Feng before he could finish speaking.

  "Did Yifan just make a video call?" Ye Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He had already told Bo Yi about the secrets of the virtual domain and wouldn't tell anyone else. However, if Yifan saw him hiding and driving away the Wugong, he would need to come up with an excuse to cover up his abilities if questioned.

  "Just now he told us you came out, otherwise we two would have rushed in." Long Yue noticed that Ye Feng's expression seemed not quite right, "Did you encounter something inside?"

  "I let Pearl go......" Ye Feng's gaze towards Long Yue's eyes flickered.

  "What?" Long Yue glared at Ye Feng fiercely. "That woman is the murderer who killed my brother! What are you thinking?"

  "She was forced to, she had a Gu worm in her body..." Ye Feng could only tell the truth now.

  "Then you should kill her even more, with the Gu worm in her body, it means she will only be controlled to do more evil things in the future!" Long Yue's eyebrows furrowed.

  "The Gu worm in her body... has been taken out by me..." Ye Feng didn't know how to answer if Long Yue continued asking.

  "How did you know how to dispel the Gu?" Long Yue took a step back, her face full of vigilance as she looked at Ye Feng. Normally, only those who knew how to plant the Gu would know how to dispel it, and the art of Gu was undoubtedly an evil technique. As a family of ancient martial artists, the Longs had always been incompatible with such evil and heretical practices.

  At this moment, even Zhuge Ling'er looked at Ye Feng with a vigilant expression, as if they would fight at any moment.

  "I'm not a Gu expert, I just know some pharmacology and have some medicinal water with me that can be used to deal with poisonous insects. It just so happens to come in handy today." Ye Feng could only explain it this way. "Those mutated insects that were catalyzed by the Gu master's special techniques, I'm powerless against them."

  "In other words, the Gu worm in Pearl's body was just a special kind of venomous parasite and not a real Gu worm?" Zhuge Ling'er let out a sigh of relief.

  "That's right," Ye Feng nodded, "Don't worry, I haven't learned to do such a thing yet, let alone those disgusting insects, even if you kill me, I won't learn."

  After a moment of silence, the two women finally chose to believe Ye Feng. "Lu Zhan has already sent your classmates to a safe place, let's go back too!"

  As soon as they got into the taxi, Long Yue dialed Lu Zhan's phone number. "We're on our way back!"

  Ye Feng picked up his own mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and still dialed Yi Fan's phone.

  "Thanks, Yee Gor!" Ye Feng didn't know what else to say.

  A faint voice came from the other end of the phone, "After all, they are brothers..."

  "Yi Ge, after these few days when things are busy here, I will go back. At that time, there may be some things to tell you..." Ye Feng let out a light sigh.

  "Hmm..." Yi Fan's voice on the phone was still calm and didn't fluctuate much.

  He hung up the phone, and Ye Feng's mood was somewhat heavy.

  "Isn't that guy named Yifan quite talkative? How come you guys said two sentences and hung up the phone today?" Zhuge Ling'er continued to exhibit her gossiping nature.

  "He's probably busy with other tasks!" Ye Feng turned his head towards the window.

  Zhuge Ling'er saw him like this and knew that he was unwilling to say anything more to her, so she could only obediently shut her mouth.

  "Long Yue, before I return to the United States, I want to pay my respects to Long Ge. Do you think it's possible?" After a moment of silence, Ye Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at Long Yue, knowing that outsiders couldn't easily enter such an esteemed family's home.

  "It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll talk to Father about it. After all, you're Brother's best friend. As for mourning Brother, Father's approval is enough, we don't need to care about the opinions of those elders." Long Yue nodded and gave Ye Feng a slight smile.

  "I'm going too!" Zhuge Ling'er chimed in.

  "You're also coming to join in the fun, previously when you entered the Long's house, I've never seen you greet anyone, you just swaggered in. What's going on today?" Long Yue smiled and teased.

  "It's not easy to sneak out, I'm not willing to go home so soon, of course, I need to find a good excuse to stay out for a while. Being at home is so boring..." Zuge Ling'er pouted.

  "You're not sneaking out because you're bored, are you?" Long Yue smiled and said, "Is your mom going to introduce you to another family's handsome guy again?"

  "You know, my crazy old mom, I don't know where she met some friends, every day asking people's sons to match with me. Last time I went back, not even a few days passed, she came to bother me again, saying she knew some descendant of an Egyptian pharaoh, and said that young man was quite handsome, wanting to drag me to go on a blind date." Zhuge Ling'er said in a low voice. "I really don't understand, her social circle is getting wider and wider now, before it was just domestic, now she knows Egyptians too. I reckon, if one day she recognizes a South African diamond tycoon, she'll definitely make me go on a blind date with that tycoon's son."

  "Isn't this exaggerated?" Long Yue also felt sympathy for Zhuge Ling'er having such a mother.

  "It's not impossible, she can even introduce Egyptians for blind dates, why not South Africans too!" Zhuge Ling'er said with a bad tone.

  "I'm telling you, my old man is even more ridiculous," continued Zhu Ge Ling Er, "Every time my mom mentions someone for me to date, he somehow gets a whole bunch of photos of that person. Then he looks at the photos and tells fortunes, every time dragging me along saying this person has great prospects, that person will dominate in the future..."

  Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "What's so funny!" Zhuge Ling'er said with a huff, "I'm so angry I could die!"

  "But your old man is indeed very good at fortune-telling, since he said so, it should be about right!" Long Yue shook his head and smiled.

  "I'd never listen to their arrangements!" Xuzhou Ling'er hastily shook her head, "Besides, I'm still young now and don't consider such issues. My ideal is to join the Dragon Team, punish evil and promote good!"

  "Hmm, I've also heard that Long Zu has many handsome guys!" Long Yue said with a deliberate smile.

  "Big sister Moon... you..." Zhuge Ling'er pouted.

  "Alright, I won't tease you anymore," Long Yue finally relented.

  "What about you and Lu Zhan? When are you two planning to get married?" Zhuge Ling'er suddenly asked.

  "It's going to be tough..." Long Yue shook his head, "If I'm appointed as the next head of the household, Lu Zhan won't have a chance..."

  "It's also unlikely, unless he has more power than the other family heads. But now all the family heads have already broken through the Xiantian boundary......" Zhuge Ling'er looked at Long Yue with some sympathy, then suddenly changed the subject, "Long Yue sister, didn't you used to be arranged for blind dates by those elders? How did you suddenly get to know Lu Zhan? You two developed really quickly, is this what they call love at first sight?"

  "Hmm, maybe it's just an accidental acquaintance, but perhaps it's the legendary love at first sight......" As she said this, a slightly unnatural stiffness flashed across Long Yue's face, but Zhu Ge Ling'er was too busy talking to herself and didn't notice Long Yue's abnormal expression.

  "If it weren't for him, I reckon the clan's elders would still be pressuring you to marry off to some young master from another influential family. Although it's unlikely you'd end up together, those elders wouldn't have let you two drift apart before you were appointed as the head of the household... His appearance really is timely!" Zhuge Ling'er said enviously, "You're also spared from being pestered by those stubborn old folks all day long. If I could've met my Prince Charming earlier, I wouldn't have to spend all day being forced to go on blind dates by Dad and Mom..."

  "Some things, let's think of a solution after they happen!" At this time, the taxi slowed down gradually, and Long Yue's expression was somewhat unnatural as he turned his head to look out the window, "We're here!"
