Chapter 49: Don't Make Fun of Me

  Because the dark shadow revealed its internal force, it accelerated with lightness skill. A few seconds later, Lin Fei couldn't help but lose sight of it. The black shadow jumped up a few times and fell down from a mountain valley, never to appear again.

  Lin Fei knew that he was at least a top-notch expert in lightness kung fu, and if he were like before, he could still catch up, but now he would only get farther and farther away, so he had no choice but to give up.

  Looking at the dark forest, Lin Fei's eyebrows revealed a hint of contemplation.

  To be honest, foreign masters know more about it, but domestic masters in China, especially those from the five major sects, many of them are hidden and don't show up internationally, so it's really hard to guess who they are.

  This is also why EVA was initially puzzled as to why Lin Fei wanted to return to the unfamiliar Xia country, where there were too many unknown masters.

  Lin Fei thought to himself, Ti Yun Ceng wasn't some kind of top-secret, unparalleled divine technique that only the Wudang Sect knew about. Many ancient martial arts masters outside of the Wudang Sect also knew how to use it; the difference lay in their mastery of the technique. So, it was possible that he wasn't actually from the Wudang Sect after all.

  He suspected that the black shadow was likely to be the expert who rummaged through his rental house at that time, and today followed him, also wanting to see if he would directly expose himself and interact with the security department.

  Unfortunately, he still overestimated himself, thinking that with his stealth skills, maintaining that distance would go unnoticed.

  Shaking his head, Lin Fei sighed and had no choice but to turn around and go find the clothes he had thrown off.

  ……

  A clearing in the woods north of Anjiang Reservoir, a black figure floated down from the trees and landed lightly on the ground. Several quick steps later, it arrived at an unremarkable black Volkswagen and got in.

  The man in black took off his black hood, revealing a youthful and radiant face, and a head of jet-black hair.

  The girl was panting heavily, wincing in pain as she turned her head to look at a gash on her left arm.

  That was the wound caused by Lin Fei's branch rubbing against her just now. Although she avoided the heart position, she didn't completely dodge it.

  In the woman's eyes, a hint of awe appeared, and it was no wonder that she was one of the legendary figures in the underground world. Having such status wasn't undeserved.

  A pine branch picked up at random can have such lethal power, if someone like him were to pick up a handy weapon, it would be the enemy's worst nightmare.

  She glanced at the time and it was already late. She took out a compact phone, dialed a button, and directly connected to a secret line.

  On the other end of the phone, a low, magnetic male voice came through after picking up.

  "How's it going?"

  The woman replied expressionlessly, "As expected, the local gang and the Templar Knights seem to have provoked him. He killed all the Templars, and the security department must have noticed him by now. It won't be long before the Xia government notices him."

  "It's all right, it seems his leisure life is coming to an end," the man chuckled twice, suddenly feeling a bit off, and asked: "Your breath is unstable, are you injured?"

  The girl replied softly: "Mm-hmm".

  "Is there someone in Lin'an who can hurt you? No... could it be, he's the one who hurt you?" The man's voice suddenly carried a few hints of tension.

  The girl still responded with an "uh-huh".

  "He found you?! You've been exposed?!"

  "No," the woman said coldly. "I was originally going to observe whether he would have a direct confrontation with the security department, but he detected that I was tracking him, so I had to use the advantage of the woods to shake him off. He gave me a small injury with a branch, but it's okay, he won't know who I am."

  The man let out a sigh of relief and said solemnly, "You were too careless! Consider yourself lucky. If it weren't for the forest cover, you wouldn't have been so lucky in other terrain!"

  Even if he sealed away a large part of his power before returning to Xia Guo, a sick tiger will not become a sick cat! You must be cautious!"

  The woman seemed to deeply agree with this remark, but still couldn't quite believe it. "He... really sealed away most of his true strength?"

  "As for how much, I'm not quite sure either, but indeed, with my own eyes, I saw him seal away a huge part of his strength. At the very least, he's already lost all his internal energy," the man sighed.

  The girl's pupils contracted and she muttered: "Lost internal strength, still has such power... it's simply a monster..."

  "Hmph," the man chuckled somewhat strangely, "At his level, who isn't a monster? Only he himself would be willing to seal his own abilities, otherwise, who could possibly restrict him?"

  "If it weren't for this, I'd have to exhaust my mind and still have you personally go execute these tasks? It's simply because there are too few people in the world who can lurk by his side and yet escape unscathed..."

  At this moment, the woman's other mobile phone in the car started vibrating. The woman took a look at the caller and frowned, saying: "I'll hang up, something's going on."

  "You take care of your injury first, I'll let you know about the next step when the time comes."

  The woman hung up the phone and picked up another one.

  A man's slightly urgent voice came from that side: "Jinglan, it's so late and you haven't come back yet? Several professors from Lin'an University are almost here, waiting to discuss your employment at Lin'an University."

  "Sorry, senior, something urgent came up and I just handled it," the woman said immediately in a gentle tone.

  "It's all right?"

  "It's okay, I'll just head back now"

  ……

  Lin Fei had finished washing up at the reservoir and got rid of all his blood-stained clothes, changing into a set of clean ones. Quite some time had passed by then.

  Lin Fei confirmed that no one was following him before arriving at the parking location.

  But he was shocked to find that Su Yingxue seemed to be nowhere in the car!

  Lin Fei's heart sank, had something gone wrong during his absence?!

  But when he rushed closer, he found that it wasn't Su Yingxue who had disappeared, but the woman was too tired and was actually sleeping behind the car!

  Mo Shang's leather chair was like a sofa, very suitable for women to sleep in. The majestic and charming figure, under the dress, was particularly enticing to the eye.

  But what Lin Fei found more interesting was Su Yingxue's sleeping appearance, looking innocent and naive, even with her face pressed against the pillow, her pink mouth slightly ajar, and sparkling saliva flowing down, making her look pitiful.

  Lin let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes also showed a hint of sympathy. He was probably worried that she hadn't had a good night's sleep in days, trying to get the company through its crisis.

  Today in the car she really couldn't help it, and before she knew it, fatigue caught up with her, and she couldn't help but fall asleep.

  When Lin Fei opened the car door and got in, Su Yingxue seemed to hear a noise, "hmm"ed softly, slowly got up, rubbed her sleepy eyes with her small hands, and looked languidly beautiful.

  "Sorry to wake you up, Director Su," Lin Fei said with a gentle smile.

  Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had just fallen asleep due to fatigue. Seeing Lin Fei return safely, she felt relieved and at the same time noticed that her face felt cool and seemed to have water on it...

  "Give".

  Suddenly, Lin Fei pulled out two paper towels from the front and handed them to Su Yingxue.

  Su Yingxue took it in a daze and was about to wipe the water on her face, but suddenly woke up with a start - this was her own saliva!

  In an instant, the woman's face was filled with crimson blushes, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl under the car seat!

  It's all over! My awkward sleeping posture must have been seen through by this rascal! How can I still be his boss!?

  Su Yingxue felt a knot of frustration and grievance, as she had initially been unwilling to have a bodyguard. On the one hand, it was also because she didn't want others to know about her private life. But unexpectedly, just after finding a bodyguard, she exposed the side of herself that she wanted to hide.

  "You... you're not allowed to make fun of me!" Su Yingxue said very seriously.

  Lin Fei was taken aback and smiled: "Why would I laugh at you, it's just sleeping with a runny nose, I think it's quite cute".

  "You... you still say that!? Don't be allowed to say!!" Su Yingxue was so ashamed and angry that her eyes were about to well up with tears, who wants to be called cute at this time?

  Just then, an even more embarrassed voice appeared...

  "Gulu..."

  There were only two people in the car. Lin Fei confirmed that it was not his own stomach making the noise, so... it must have been Su Yingxue's stomach making the noise.

  Su Yingxue was like a deflated doll, her small mouth half open, unable to speak.

  If her awkwardness of drooling earlier had already depressed her to the extreme, then at this moment, she felt like she was going crazy...
