Ling Zhenfei said, "I've heard Chen Qian mention some things, but I only know a little."

Lu Huanong stated, "My father didn't actually die; he just disappeared. All these years, I've been trying to divine my father's whereabouts, but I've never succeeded. The target always points to one place, Xianling Mountain."

Lu Huanong's father was called Lu Tao, known by the nickname Versatile Wanderer, a very extraordinary person, whether in Medical Arts, Martial Arts, conversation, strategy, or Divination, he excelled in all.

Just by observing his two disciples, Chen Qian and Lu Huanong, you can see some of it. Chen Qian is regarded as a very famous figure in the industry and can easily cause trouble for Fengming Group.

And Lu Huanong, even more so; her Divination can even invoke divine retribution, which shows that she has the ability to foresee past and future events, knowing the unknown.

Lu Tao's first disciple acquired his expertise in using poison. Although he hasn't appeared for a long time, it's said he's a renowned figure on the assassin list.

The second disciple is even more formidable, said to have inherited Lu Tao's Martial Arts skills, rumored to be the underground emperor of several provinces in the Northwest, very powerful.

Lu Huanong's sister, Lu Yunshang, learned Qinggong and Swordsmanship, and according to Chen Qian, she's reached the Realm of Riding the Wind, but what exactly Riding the Wind means, Ling Zhenfei truly doesn't know.

So, just by observing these disciples, one can surmise that Lu Tao's abilities are certainly powerful.

Legend has it Lu Tao died, some say he disappeared, but today it's confirmed by Lu Huanong that he disappeared and very likely went to Xianling Mountain.

Ling Zhenfei said to Lu Huanong, "Rest assured, I know my strength isn't great, so I'll go to the outskirts of Xianling Mountain, not deep inside, so there's no danger."

Although there's no danger, Ling Zhenfei recalled the Eagle and Snake on Xianling Mountain and felt scared.

Back then, Ling Zhenfei had no chance against those formidable foes, if not for good fortune, he would have died there.

After Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, Lu Huanong finally felt at ease, repeatedly reminding him not to enter the depths of Xianling Mountain because it's too terrifying.

Ling Zhenfei was very curious about the inside of Xianling Mountain and asked Lu Huanong, "Miss Lu, do you know what's inside Xianling Mountain?"

Lu Huanong shook her head and replied, "I don't know either, but whenever my father talked about the inside of Xianling Mountain, his expression was solemn. I suppose there are very frightening things in there."

Ling Zhenfei asked with curiosity, "Since the things inside Xianling Mountain are so terrifying, why did Elder Lu still want to go inside?"

Lu Huanong shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but those years my father was always looking for medicine to cure my illness, perhaps that's why my father entered."

Ling Zhenfei felt that this matter was not simple. There are Rejuvenation Grass on the outskirts of Xianling Mountain; why go to the core area of Xianling Mountain? It simply doesn't make sense.

Ling Zhenfei first gave Lu Huanong a Nine Yin Pill, then let her take it with Xuantian Spirit Spring Water.

Previously, Ling Zhenfei left a bottle of Xuantian Spirit Spring Water for Lu Huanong, instructing her to add a few drops in the morning while drinking water, but it seemed ineffective.

So Ling Zhenfei planned to leave more for Lu Huanong, even letting her directly consume Xuantian Spirit Spring Water.

Seeing a deep well in the three-tiered courtyard, it was the water Lu Huanong used for tea.

Thus, Ling Zhenfei took out the Xuantian Spirit Spring Pot and poured a lot of Xuantian Spirit Spring Water into the well, deeply merging the well water and Xuantian Spirit Spring Water.

This way, when Lu Huanong drinks the water, there will be Northern Spiritual Energy for a long time.

After doing all this, it was already late. Checking his phone, he saw a message from Li Ru with the restaurant address for tonight.

Ling Zhenfei looked at the time; it was almost the agreed time, so he bade farewell to Lu Huanong.

Lu Huanong escorted Ling Zhenfei to the door. When he was leaving, she suddenly called out, "Big Brother Ling, when are you leaving the Capital City this time?"

Ling Zhenfei thought about it and said, "I don't know yet, so the time can't be determined. Is there anything else? If there is, just say it."

Lu Huanong nodded and said, "It's not far from my birthday. I'd like to invite you then."

Ling Zhenfei nodded. He already knew about Lu Huanong's birthday; Chen Qian had told him. Her birthday is special, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year.

This day is originally a time for family reunion, unexpectedly, it's also Lu Huanong's birthday. Chen Qian mentioned it once, and Ling Zhenfei remembered.

"Don't worry, both Chen Qian and I will be there."

Lu Huanong smiled brightly and agreed, and then Ling Zhenfei left.

Ling Zhenfei was headed to a hotel called Bright Moon Residence, and just from the name, you could tell it was a very elegant place.

Ling Zhenfei took a taxi and asked the driver if the place was far. The driver replied that it wasn't, right in the city center.

Ling Zhenfei was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected the place to be right in the city center.

After the driver took Ling Zhenfei to the location, he was again surprised to find it was International Plaza.

International Plaza was Ma Long's territory; back in the Provincial City, Ling Zhenfei had clashed with Ma Long, so arriving at International Plaza made him quite reflective.

Suddenly, Ling Zhenfei thought of something. Zhang Kang had a close relationship with Ma Long and was even Ma Long's man. Their relationship was very intimate.

Thoughtful for a moment, Ling Zhenfei still entered the internal area of International Plaza. The driver said Bright Moon Residence was on the top floor of the plaza.

Ling Zhenfei took the elevator to the top floor, where Li Ru was waiting.

When she saw Ling Zhenfei, she first came forward for a hug. Although to outsiders it looked like a friendly embrace, only Ling Zhenfei and Li Ru knew it was more intimate than exchanges between lovers.

"Sister, why did you choose such a place? Don't you know I prefer quiet places now?" Ling Zhenfei whispered in Li Ru's ear.

Li Ru softly replied, "Of course I know; you're a big celebrity now, attracting attention wherever you go. But Zhang Kang insisted that since you're in the Capital City, he had to choose a good place for a meal."

"Alright, then just whatever."

Ling Zhenfei followed Li Ru into one of the private rooms, although it's in such an expensive area, the size of this room was indeed large, perhaps too large.

Entering, they felt it was quite spacious, originally able to seat over ten people, but now there were only Zhang Kang and Chu He sitting inside.
