Chapter 192: Feng Yan Union’s Strange Whereabouts
Didn’t say exactly what time? Feng Yan Union’s method of handling things was really odd. Meanwhile, Ling Chuxi found that the Thousand Storey Restaurant’s food did indeed live up to their reputation. Having a meal in such an environment, even her mindset and emotions were different. Ling Chuxi felt very satisfied with her meal. It was just that even after she was done with her meal, the people from Feng Yan Union still had not appeared. This made Ling Chuxi really wonder if anyone from Feng Yan Union would really appear tonight.
Even after waiting a while once they were done with dinner, no one from Feng Yan Union appeared. Thus, Ling Chuxi’s group of three finally decided to leave the Thousand Storey Restaurant. They chose not to return home via carriage, but instead slowly strolled along the streets. A walk was good to help them digest their food. A group of children were having a s...o...b..ll fight by the side of the road, smiling and laughing as they ran about. Ling Chuxi had no choice but to slow down and watch the group of children whose faces had turned red due to the cold and yet were still playing so happy. At this moment, a little boy ran past Ling Chuxi and was about to fall over. Subconsciously, Ling Chuxi reached out a hand to support him.
Suddenly, she heard the little boy whisper into her ear in his child voice, “Miss Ling Chuxi, do you know what it is that you wish to find out about?”
Ling Chuxi’s pupils instantly contracted as she lowered her head to look at the young child she was supporting. The little boy smiled at her and repeated himself, “Miss Ling Chuxi, what do you wish to find out about?”
This child! This little boy was actually someone from Feng Yan Union! Feng Yan Union had chosen such a method to send someone from their side to appear before her and ask her about what information she sought to find out.
“I wish to know about my parents,” replied Ling Chuxi softly. “And also, my elder brother.”
“Understood.” The child gave her a bright and innocent smile. “I will return to await further instructions. As for the price, we will look for you again later.” Once the little boy finished speaking, he wriggled away from Ling Chuxi’s supportive hand and with a cry, he gathered up a s...o...b..ll and rushed towards the other children to continue with their s...o...b..ll fight.
Ling Chuxi stood rooted to the spot, staring in a daze after the little boy who was running off. Indeed, it was as Fu Chengyu had said. The Feng Yan Union had all kinds of people as its members. She really never thought that even a young child would actually be a member of the Feng Yan Union.
“Chuxi, what’s wrong?” asked both Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu. They were walking ahead of her and suddenly noticed that she had stopped moving forward, thus both of them turned their heads towards her to question her hesitantly.
“I just met someone from Feng Yan Union,” replied Ling Chuxi in a soft voice.
“What? Where?” responded Ling Yichen in surprise.
“That child right there,” said Ling Chuxi as she raised her head to look at the group of children having a s...o...b..ll fight, but she was astonished to find that the child she had spoken to earlier on was no longer there. “Eh? He’s gone.”
“That should be someone from Feng Yan Union then. Their whereabouts and comings and goings are always this strange,” said Fu Chengyu without a hint of surprise. “Miss Chuxi, what was told to you?”
“The kid said that he would await further instructions and look for me later on,” replied Ling Chuxi.
“Yeah, sounds about right. It should not be a problem then. Feng Yan Union has never had any instance where they were unable to obtain information. Let’s go,” said Fu Chengyu with a nod.
After hearing Fu Chengyu’s reply, Ling Chuxi felt more a.s.sured. However, her heart started to pound. What kind of news would Feng Yan Union bring to her in the end? What exactly did Ling Wushang’s words mean? Return, return… Did she originally belong to this world? This was too unbelievable.
And so, Ling Chuxi waited for Feng Yan Union to reply, full of antic.i.p.ation and with a pounding heart. Seeing Ling Chuxi who was constantly in a daze, Fu Chengyu felt suspicious. What kind of information did Ling Chuxi ask Feng Yan Union for exactly? Why was she in such a state? However, he did not open his mouth to ask. He knew that he was not qualified to care about this. In Ling Chuxi’s heart, he was merely Yichen’s senior brother, and could not even be considered as a friend.
