699: Chapter 699 [Ziguang Temple] 699: Chapter 699 [Ziguang Temple] Ye Chenfeng’s tone was calm, as if he were doing something insignificant.
“Kid, don’t push your luck!
Do you have any right to speak here?” Lin Xiangdong said, his anger uncontrollable.
The last time, his two subordinates had let Ye Chenfeng leave easily, which had left him fuming.
“What if we choose neither option?” Meng Xiangyu responded, a murderous aura emanating from him, locking onto Ye Chenfeng in an instant.
Under the powerful aura, Chu Qingxue found it difficult to breathe.
Meng Xiangyu exuded the steely bloodlust of a soldier, honed in the fires of war.
“You must choose!”
Ye Chenfeng’s voice was unbearably cold as he stepped closer to Meng Xiangyu.
Their eyes met, and it seemed as if the surrounding air had frozen.
After a moment, Meng Xiangyu’s body couldn’t help but tremble, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
“We’re leaving!” Meng Xiangyu finally spoke, but to Lin Xiangdong’s surprise, the words were, “We’re leaving.”
“Mr.
Chu, Mr.
Assistant, we’ll meet again.” Meng Xiangyu left this sentence behind and quickly departed.
Lin Xiangdong glared at Ye Chenfeng before following him out.
“Ye Chenfeng?” Chu Qingxue said softly.
“What’s up?” Ye Chenfeng asked curiously.
Chu Qingxue’s beautiful eyes stared at him without blinking.
“Do you know what they want?”
“Of course I know, it’s definitely the nano warhead information you have.” Ye Chenfeng said.
“That’s right, they indeed came for this, and they were very firm about buying this technology at a high price.” Chu Qingxue said.
“Looks like a lot of people have their eyes on that thing.
It’s a hot potato; you better get rid of it soon.” Ye Chenfeng said.
Chu Qingxue bit her lip.
“Yes, this technology is almost finished.
Once it’s completed, I’ll send it away immediately.
By then, I might need you to accompany me abroad.” She winked at Ye Chenfeng at the end, quite inexplicably.
Ye Chenfeng felt a wave of awkwardness.
She clearly understood that Chu Qingxue meant she wanted him to protect her overseas.
“Alright, no problem.”
“Do you know that middle-aged man?” A hint of suspicion rose in Chu Qingxue’s eyes.
“His name is Lin Xiangdong.
He’s Dr.
Lin Qingzhu’s father.” Ye Chenfeng explained.
Chu Qingxue was surprised.
“I didn’t expect he was Dr.
Lin’s father.”
“That’s right, just an old bastard.” Ye Chenfeng said discontentedly.
Outside, Gu Jundie was stunned.
As soon as Ye Chenfeng went in, those people left?
Could it be that Ye Chenfeng had intimidated them?
“Instructor Meng, why did we leave?” In the car, Lin Xiangdong couldn’t help but ask.
A fierce look flashed in Meng Xiangyu’s eyes as he said calmly, “There’s an aura on him that terrifies me.”
“What?
He actually made even you, Dragon Thorn’s ultimate instructor, feel fear?” Lin Xiangdong was stunned, his horrified expression like discovering a new continent.
Meng Xiangyu nodded.
“I felt a ferocious aura from him that I’ve only felt from my senior brother.”
Lin Xiangdong was even more surprised and couldn’t help but tremble as he asked, “You mean someone from that place?”
“Yes, Dragon Flame.” Meng Xiangyu answered firmly.
“Gah!” Lin Xiangdong was completely dumbfounded.
Slowly, he also understood why his two subordinates ended up like that that day, surely due to Ye Chenfeng’s immense strength.
“Principal Lin, we must investigate this assistant’s identity thoroughly.
I suspect Chu Qingxue will soon send away that technical information.
We need to act quickly.” Meng Xiangyu said.
Lin Xiangdong hesitated for a moment before asking, “Instructor Meng, are you saying even you aren’t confident of victory?”
“Not necessarily, but my confidence isn’t high.”
As he spoke, images of that earlier scene flashed in Meng Xiangyu’s mind.
At that moment, he seemed to see countless struggling spirits in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, causing him to shiver even now.
The next day.
All members of the Chu Family gathered together, including Ye Chenfeng.
The reason was simple.
Today, the entire Chu Family was going to Ziguang Temple to burn incense and pray, an annual routine of Chu Renkuang’s.
Since Chu Qingxue’s parents passed away, they’ve gone to Ziguang Temple every year.
But this year, there was an additional person: Ye Chenfeng.
Ziguang Temple was situated on Panyun Mountain by the East Sea in Jiangnan.
From the foot of the mountain, it appeared shrouded in mist, towering as its name suggested, reaching the clouds.
Panyun Mountain was a renowned sea mountain locally, a popular tourist attraction in Jiangnan City.
Oddly, the number of people visiting Panyun Mountain was unusually high today, and most had only one destination: Ziguang Temple at the summit.
There was only one path to Ziguang Temple, a staircase extending from the mountain base to the peak.
Panyun Mountain stood seven to eight hundred meters above sea level, and climbing to the top where Ziguang Temple sat was no easy task.
“Let’s go!”
Chu Renkuang led the way with great devotion, stepping carefully.
The Chu sisters also showed solemn expressions, their eyes reflecting equal devotion.
Ye Chenfeng, on the other hand, was carefree, almost lighting a cigarette.
As they climbed, they encountered a person halfway, crawling on the steps and continuously kowtowing, his forehead even bleeding.
“Holy…” Ye Chenfeng was utterly shocked.
This extremely devout believer must have climbed this way, undoubtedly spending significant effort.
“Xue’xue, what’s going on today?
Not only are there so many people, but also such dedicated worshipers?” Ye Chenfeng asked curiously.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s nonchalant manner, Chu Qingxue rolled her eyes at him.
“Today is Master Hui Wen’s Dharma Assembly, attracting many people from across the nation.”
“Oh, I see.
This Master Hui Wen must be very impressive.” Ye Chenfeng laughed.
Chu Qingxue returned to her serious demeanor, ignoring Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng actually didn’t know why Chu Renkuang brought them here, nor did he ask, so he didn’t know their purpose.
After much effort, they finally reached the temple gates.
The gates were grand, situated on a two-meter-high brick platform, flanked by hipped roof side doors and screen walls.
The crowd here was even larger, especially worshipers kowtowing on the ground, numerous and plentiful.
“Is this necessary?
Depending on yourself is better than depending on anyone else.” Ye Chenfeng snorted, leading to a sidelong glance from Chu Qingxue.
“The Dharma Assembly of Divine Monk Hui Wen is about to begin.” Someone shouted, causing the crowd outside the gates to become restless.
At this moment, a standout monk appeared halfway up the mountain.
His attire differed from those of Divine Land’s monks, making him easily identifiable.
His steps were extremely slow, yet the distance between him and everyone else kept widening.
