Chapter 1387 - 1390: Tang Rou, Tang Rou! (Fifth Update)

Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, she actually forgot that there are many surveillance cameras at the airport... This was truly a blunder!

"Considering Miss Liu, not only did you deliberately provoke others, but also attempted to make false accusations. Since no severe consequences resulted, I won’t restrict your personal freedom. However, I will apply for a trial date immediately. Approximately within a month, Miss Liu will be tried in court. Please do not leave Harbor City and pay attention to the court subpoenas in the meantime!" Mr. Lin calmly announced the final verdict.

Liu Yu’s face turned ashen, devoid of any luster.

Seeing this, Lin Feng and Lu Lu felt there was no further reason to stay; they left the police office and returned to the international arrivals hall, continuing to wait for the flight from New York to land... Because of Liu Yu’s little incident, now there was less than an hour until the plane landed.

The closer the time approached for the plane landing, the more apprehensive Lin Feng felt; he had a very eerie feeling inside... As if something very difficult for him to accept would happen once the plane landed.

"Lin Feng, let’s go grab something to eat to relieve our fatigue!" Lu Lu suggested casually, looking at Lin Feng with some concern.

"I don’t have an appetite right now," Lin Feng sighed lightly and whispered.

"If you don’t have an appetite, I do..." Lu Lu’s eyes darkened, but she laughed heartily, "I traveled thousands of miles to accompany you to Harbor City, not to starve with you. Moreover, waiting here won’t speed the plane up, so why not go eat something to hold us over. Even if there’s a fight later, you won’t feel weak in the knees!"

Lu Lu’s words made sense; you need strength to fight when you’re full! After thinking it over, Lin Feng decided to go with Lu Lu to a nearby twenty-four-hour café, where they ordered some pastries and waited while eating.

Seeing Lin Feng distracted, Lu Lu felt both envious and jealous of Tang Rou. She knew that if something happened to her, Lin Feng might consider their relationship and find ways to save her, but never in this distracted, tasteless, and emotionally unguarded state. Only when the woman closest to Lin Feng’s heart was in trouble would he be so distressed.

Time ticked away, and after sitting in the café for an hour, they finally reached the moment when the flight from New York landed.

Lin Feng and Lu Lu paid their bill and walked to the disembarkation passage for the flight from New York, quietly waiting.

The direct flight from New York to Harbor City was packed, with hundreds of people walking out through the passage, quickly passing by Lin Feng and Lu Lu. Many were curious about the two waiting by the disembarkation passage, as receiving guests usually doesn’t look like that. But no one stopped to chat with Lin Feng and Lu Lu; they quietly passed...

Lin Feng didn’t care about others’ gazes, just focused on searching for Tang Rou, but disappointingly, more than three hundred people had passed with no sign of Tang Rou...

"What’s going on here? Why isn’t she here? Did Xiang Wang get it wrong?" Lin Feng was sure he hadn’t mistaken the flight, and the direct flights from New York to Harbor City had at least twelve-hour intervals. So this night, there was only this flight landing, yet Tang Rou wasn’t on board?!

"Lin Feng, look..."

Just when Lin Feng was about to lose it, Lu Lu suddenly pointed to the end of the disembarkation passage, prompting Lin Feng to look over.

Lin Feng looked up and saw two figures dressed in moon-white monk robes walking out of the plane, one of them was the Tang Rou he couldn’t forget, and the other was a middle-aged Master Ciyun!

"Tang Rou!" Seeing Tang Rou, Lin Feng couldn’t hold back his excitement and was about to rush over and embrace her, but Lu Lu grabbed his arm.

"Don’t rush over, Lin Feng, there’s something off with Tang Rou’s state..." Lu Lu said nervously.

Listening to Lu Lu’s words, Lin Feng paused and seriously watched Tang Rou, noticing that she was indeed behaving strangely...

Tang Rou wasn’t looking at him or even at the road. Instead, she maintained a posture akin to an enlightened monk, with lowered eyelids, hands clasped together, murmuring scriptures. She followed closely behind Master Ciyun as if she were a devout disciple tagging along with her mentor. This person was more like a nimble nun resembling Tang Rou than Tang Rou herself!

Lin Feng felt an inexplicable unfamiliarity from Tang Rou, an unfamiliarity causing a painful anxiety that made him suffocate a little...

At this moment, Master Ciyun finally noticed Lin Feng and Lu Lu’s presence. With just a glance, she discerned their cultivation wasn’t ordinary... Master Ciyun furrowed her brows; following Lin Feng’s gaze toward Tang Rou, her tense expression slightly eased and she showed a definitive smile.

"How rare to have two cultivators of innate abilities waiting for me! I wonder what the origins of you young cultivators are and what matters you have to discuss with me while waiting here?" Master Ciyun calmly asked as she approached Lin Feng and Lu Lu, appearing utterly unafraid of them posing any threat to her.

Lin Feng just quietly watched Tang Rou, now being only three or four meters away from her, this distance should’ve made Tang Rou aware of him. Yet she continued her scripture recitation, head down, without acknowledging him...

Lu Lu frowned, glanced at Lin Feng, then at Master Ciyun, originally wanting to say something but lost the words, being an outsider in all this! But Lin Feng now seemed... somewhat not okay! Lu Lu threw a glance at Lin Feng, wanted to remind him, but held back, resorting to wait patiently for Lin Feng’s response.

Lin Feng finally came to his senses, suppressing all chaotic thoughts, softly began, with countless expectations calling out, "Tang Rou?!"

Whether Lin Feng’s voice was too soft, or Tang Rou simply didn’t notice him, Lin Feng’s call was like throwing a stone into the sea, without any response.

Just as Lin Feng prepared to raise his voice to call Tang Rou’s name again, Master Ciyun spoke up.

"You must be Mr. Lin, Lin Feng!" Master Ciyun looked at Lin Feng, a hint of sardonic smile on her face, "Though it’s indeed hard to put into words, the fact is, the person Miss Tang least wants to see right now is you!"
