Duàn Liáng’s eyes lit up upon hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion.
“You brat, you’re right. If this character is so extraordinary, it certainly can’t be carried by ordinary means.”
“But where would we find a vessel capable of containing it?”
Duàn Liáng mused, a hint of worry creasing his brow.
“Just because we don’t have one now doesn’t mean we won’t in the future. What we need to do is imprint this character deeply into our minds. Once we find a suitable vessel, we can replicate it.”
Lin Feng spoke, his gaze fixed on the text, trying to memorize every stroke.
Duàn Liáng also knew the character wouldn’t last long. He immediately calmed himself and began to commit it to memory.
A few seconds later, the ashes slowly dispersed. No matter how hard Duàn Liáng tried to hold on, the ashes dissolved into the air.
“It’s gone! I haven’t even memorized it clearly yet. I have the general outline in my mind, but I’ve forgotten all the brushstrokes.”
Duàn Liáng smacked his forehead in annoyance, feeling as though he had missed a colossal opportunity.
“It’s fine, I’ve got it,” Lin Feng reassured him, his exceptional memory proving useful.
“Alright, you’re quite something, kid!”
Duàn Liáng breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Lin Feng with surprised admiration.
“I’ve memorized the character, but I’m not sure how long I can retain it. You should hurry and think about what suitable vessels exist in this world.”
Lin Feng couldn’t remain entirely happy. Human memory was limited.
Especially for a character whose every stroke carried immense power; a single misplaced brushstroke could render all efforts futile.
“Yes, let me ponder this carefully. Surely, there must be something in this world capable of imprinting such characters, even if we haven’t encountered it yet.”
Duàn Liáng nodded with determination.
He was naturally possessive of treasures; how could he let such a magnificent character slip away?
He would risk his life to find a vessel capable of imprinting the character.
“By the way, since this Book of No Words originated from the Guigu lineage, is it possible that what we’re looking for is also in Guigu?”
Lin Feng suddenly had an idea.
“That makes sense. Everything leaves a trace. Since you obtained the heavenly book from a descendant of Guigu, it implies a certain connection between the Guigu lineage and the book. Perhaps we should indeed start our search from Guigu!”
Duàn Liáng also recognized the logic.
“That makes things easier. That fellow Chén Fán went back to his sect to have his master avenge him. He’ll be coming to find me soon. We can start by approaching his master.”
Lin Feng had a plan.
“Alright, I won’t go anywhere for the next few days. I’ll stay right here with you while we wait.”
Duàn Liáng understood the priority and decided to stay by Lin Feng’s side.
With their plan in motion, Lin Feng and Duàn Liáng didn’t linger in the rental building.
As Duàn Liáng still didn’t have a place to stay, Lin Feng brought him to Huā Yǔ’s second-floor apartment.
After all, Huā Yǔ and Duàn Liáng were quite familiar with each other, and staying with her would be much more convenient.
He himself headed to Líng Fēiyàn’s apartment.
Qīng Niǎo had messaged him earlier, informing him that she had arrived in Qìngchéng and was at Líng Fēiyàn’s place.
Lin Feng also hadn’t seen Líng Fēiyàn in quite some time and felt it was time to accompany her.
Around ten in the evening, Lin Feng arrived at Líng Fēiyàn’s apartment.
He knocked on her door, and the person who opened it was Qīng Niǎo, wearing a nightgown.
“Why are you here so late?”
Seeing Lin Feng at the door, Qīng Niǎo’s delicate brows furrowed.
“I came to see you sisters. What? You don’t welcome me?”
Lin Feng smiled. Qīng Niǎo looked quite good in her blue nightgown.
She wore nothing underneath, her figure exposed. The deep V-neckline revealed a glimpse of her fair cleavage.
Her long hair was damp, her face flushed, as if she had just showered.
“Welcome, how could I not welcome you? You’re so formidable now!”
Although Qīng Niǎo didn’t particularly favor Lin Feng, she had to cooperate with him for work and to keep the Demon Emperor Yìng Tiānqíng in check.
Forced to suppress her dislike, she attempted to work with Lin Feng.
“Where’s your sister? Is she showering?”
Lin Feng entered and, not seeing Líng Fēiyàn, heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
“Yes, Fēiyàn is showering. Have a seat for a moment.”
Qīng Niǎo knew about the relationship between Líng Fēiyàn and Lin Feng. Even if she didn’t quite approve of their relationship, the deed was done, and there was nothing she could say.
She could only blame herself for neglecting Líng Fēiyàn, which allowed Lin Feng to take advantage of the situation.
“Oh, right. This is the information Elder Ye asked me to give you. It’s all here.”
Qīng Niǎo remembered the important task and took an envelope from her briefcase.
Lin Feng opened the envelope. It contained details of various extraordinary individuals from different regions.
“I’ve already filtered it for you, removing all males and those unrelated to soul cultivation. The rest are potential reincarnations of Qīng Niǎo.”
Qīng Niǎo said.
“There are still so many after filtering? With over a thousand people, even if we investigate one a day, it would take three years!”
Lin Feng looked at the profiles of over a thousand women, feeling overwhelmed.
“Be grateful. I’ve already screened out tens of thousands. These remaining ones are the most likely candidates.”
Qīng Niǎo rolled her eyes. She had been exhausted these past few days.
“Alright, since Yìng Tiānqíng isn’t in a hurry, we’ll take our time investigating.”
Lin Feng was indifferent. It wasn’t his problem, so why should he be in a rush?
“Also, let Ye Chén go. Elder Ye only has this one son left. Do a good deed for once.”
Qīng Niǎo seized the opportunity to persuade him.
She had already learned that Lin Feng had captured Ye Chén.
“I can let him go, but it depends on the Ye family’s performance.”
“What? Are you concerned about your little boyfriend?”
Lin Feng gazed at Qīng Niǎo, asking.
“You’re overthinking it. He and I have gone our separate ways. He is him, and I am me.”
“Whether you release him or not is up to you. I’m just mentioning it.”
Qīng Niǎo said, then went to peel an apple for Lin Feng.
At that moment, Líng Fēiyàn finished her shower and emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
Seeing Lin Feng, Líng Fēiyàn exclaimed in surprise, “When did you get here? Why didn’t you let me know?”
“I wanted to give you a surprise. Haven’t seen you in so long, do you miss me?”
Lin Feng stood up and approached Líng Fēiyàn from behind, embracing her.
“Stop fooling around, my sister is here. Let me go quickly.”
Líng Fēiyàn felt a bit embarrassed. Although she missed Lin Feng dearly, her sister watching made her feel awkward.
“She’s right here. We’re a normal boyfriend and girlfriend. What’s there to hide?”
“My little Fēiyàn, I’ve missed you so much. Let me kiss you.”
Lin Feng kissed Líng Fēiyàn’s fair neck. The scent of body wash emanating from her made his lower abdomen feel hot.
“Hey, can you at least be discreet? If you want to be intimate, go to the bedroom.”
Qīng Niǎo looked at Lin Feng, who was acting like an old pervert, and felt a surge of disgust.
“Fine, then we’ll head to the bedroom. You might want to cover your ears, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle the excitement.”
Lin Feng wasted no time, picking up Líng Fēiyàn in front of Qīng Niǎo and heading straight for the bedroom.
Líng Fēiyàn was about to lose it. She was only wrapped in a towel, and Lin Feng’s hand had already slipped inside.
And all this, in front of her sister, was incredibly embarrassing.
However, it also brought an unprecedented thrill.
