Chapter 176 Reconciliation
Hua Rushang originally intended to find Wu Fen first before heading back, but the situation was urgent, and her uncle might be here to deliver a message. Under these circumstances, she couldn't worry about anything else.
“I’ll go back and take a look. Now that you have this pocket watch, I have nothing to hide. Indeed, he is a member of our Ghost Doctor clan. Although I don’t know why he did this, I have an obligation to give you an explanation.”
Hua Rushang shrugged, her expression calm. Unlike her usual mysterious and aloof demeanor, this sudden composure made Chen Feng somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm telling you, this whole thing was caused by your Ghost Doctor clan. Who told you to always keep it to yourself and cause misunderstandings?" Chen Feng stared at Hua Rushang with his hands behind his back, as if trying to read something from her eyes. "Don't you believe me? I'll tell Wu Fen what happened?"
"Whatever. Do you think all men in the world are as petty as you?" Hua Rushang scoffed. Chen Feng still harbored suspicions about her. Did he think she would take the bait by threatening her with Wu Fen?
Indeed, Chen Feng had to admit that Hua Rushang hadn't lied to him this time. The two weren't enemies to begin with, and as a man, he had no reason to hold a grudge against a woman.
Chen Feng scratched his head, noticing that even the darkness couldn't hide Hua Rushang's somewhat embarrassed and indignant expression. He thought it was a bit unfair to bring this up now. It was time to find a way to save face.
"Hey, Hua Rushang, you're right. I was petty before. You know me, so you shouldn't hold it against me, right?" Chen Feng walked directly to Hua Rushang's side, rubbing her shoulders and legs, acting very obsequious.
With a flick of her purple robe, Hua Rushang hurriedly dodged Chen Feng's claws and rolled her eyes at him, thinking to herself, "You only think of apologizing to me now?"
"You still know I belong to the Ghost Doctor clan? Believe me or not, I'll make you lie dead on the spot right now?"
Hua Rushang disliked Chen Feng's carefree attitude the most. But then she thought that she wasn't entirely wrong either. Since Chen Feng had given her face, there was no need to hold a grudge.
With a cold snort, she reluctantly agreed: "Fine, I'll ignore you for Wu Fen's sake."
“That’s more like it, Miss Hua. You’re no ordinary person. You’re a magnanimous person, haha.” Chen Feng laughed from the side, which almost made Hua Rushang stomp her feet in anger.
She covered her face with the veil again, and under the moonlight, Hua Ruchang was still as alluring as a fairy. Turning back, she added, "Chen Feng, tell me if you have any news about Wu Fen. If I find out about your wicked schemes again, you'll be in big trouble."
After saying that, Hua Rushang used her spiritual power and strode away.
"Honestly, women are all tigers." Chen Feng muttered to himself as he watched Hua Rushang leave. Speaking of women, He Fei was still the most lovable, just to his liking. Hua Rushang's personality was probably only tolerable to a blockhead like Wu Fen.
Back in the inn room, the little girl was already fast asleep in bed.
He patted the little girl's head and saw that she had kicked off the blanket. Chen Feng gently reached out and pulled the blanket back over her. Her face was still young and cute, making one feel sorry for her.
There was only one bed in the room, and Chen Feng, considering himself a gentleman, certainly wouldn't squeeze in with the young girl.
However, he had encountered too many things recently, and he was worried about leaving the little girl to sleep alone, so he had no choice but to willingly act as her bodyguard.
After glancing at the little girl's sleeping face, Chen Feng did not disturb her rest any further. Instead, he sat down on the ground, circulated his spiritual energy throughout his body, and ran the Heavenly Evolution Dao Technique again, so that he would not have wasted his time.
Normally, Chen Feng would have been immersed in the flow of spiritual energy long ago, but today was different. Several hours had passed, and Chen Feng still felt that his mind was in a mess and he could not calm down.
Knowing that the events of the day had piqued his curiosity, Chen Feng simply gave up on continuing his cultivation and instead remained in a meditative state, pondering how to sort out the events of the day.
Strangers appear out of nowhere, and a stalker with a pocket watch follows him. Everyone seems to be after him, yet none of them actually take any action. It's incredibly strange.
Chen Feng regretted that he didn't know anyone else in the Ghost Doctor Clan besides Hua Rushang. Besides, the Ghost Doctor Clan was mysterious and unpredictable. Even Hua Rushang couldn't fully understand it, so how could he possibly understand it thoroughly based on just a few words?
With this in mind, Chen Feng felt relieved. He would wait for Hua Rushang to return and make a decision. He could just focus on his cultivation.
Time flew by, and it was already the next day. The little girl was still sleeping soundly. Chen Feng glanced at the sky; it was already bright. He went out and asked the innkeeper for two breakfasts.
"Brother Chen Feng." The little girl woke up when she smelled the fragrance, rubbed her eyes, and walked up to Chen Feng.
"You're awake?" Chen Feng pushed breakfast towards her. "Your dad made this. Go wash up and come eat."
The little girl skipped and hopped to change her clothes, then grabbed a piece of bread and started munching on it: "I'm starving! Brother Chen Feng, why did that uncle tie me up? I can't sell myself for any money."
Chen Feng shook his head: "I don't know."
"Does he have a relationship with that pretty lady?" the little girl continued to ask.
"I still don't know." Chen Feng genuinely didn't know.
"Why won't you answer me?" The little girl opened her eyes wide and pouted with dissatisfaction.
Pinch the little girl's soft cheek and Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you have so many questions at such a young age? Hurry up and eat. Also, didn't you want to apply to a college? Have you thought about it yet? I'm leaving today, so I can take you there."
The little girl's eyes looked a little disappointed: "You're leaving today?"
Chen Feng mimicked her sighing manner: "Yes, all good things must come to an end. We can only meet again in the future."
The little girl didn't say anything, puffed out her cheeks, looked at Chen Feng, and then went out the door, disappearing without a trace.
She's got quite a temper. Chen Feng thought the girl was angry that he was leaving. It's ridiculous, really. What kind of women hasn't Chen Feng seen? Yet this girl makes him feel sorry for her, and he wants to fulfill any request she makes.
Perhaps she resembles He Fei. Thinking of He Fei, Chen Feng fell into deep thought, wondering how that girl was doing now.
After a while, the little girl came back carrying a bundle, and stuffed all her belongings into it: "I told my parents that I'm going to take the exam for the academy to learn spiritual power, and I'll be following Brother Chen Feng from now on."
"Follow me?" Although he wasn't entirely unprepared, Chen Feng almost spat out his water. He asked with a wicked grin, "Aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy? How will you survive in the world if you're so naive?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." The little girl came over, hugged Chen Feng, and shook him, smiling sweetly and happily. "If you were a bad person, why didn't you sell me off sooner? What kind of bad person are you, brother?"
Chen Feng was speechless. Are all women these days so quick-witted? How could he, a man who prided himself on his sharp tongue, possibly bear this?
However, Chen Feng wasn't one to hesitate. If the little girl dared to go with him, what was there for him not to dare to do? He listened to the little girl's parents' advice, which went in one ear and out the other, and after promising to take good care of the little girl, Chen Feng left with her.
