Chapter 257 Ancient Ruins

As Xia Feng was about to turn away, Murong Tiangu suddenly called out to him.

"What is it?" Xia Feng turned his head and asked.

Murong Tiangu hesitated, as if reluctant to speak in front of everyone. Xia Feng understood and waved his hand, setting up a soundproof barrier, saying, "You can speak now."

"Three years ago, I discovered ancient ruins on Qionglai Tiantai Mountain. There was a barrier outside, and my cultivation wasn't enough to enter. Benefactor, you could take a look." Murong Tiangu stated truthfully.

Hearing this, Xia Feng indeed became interested.

Whether cultivators or practitioners, they were all filled with interest in ruins.

Xia Feng naturally didn't have a great desire for cultivation at the moment, at least not on Earth.

However, ancient ruins were hard to resist. After all, many gods emerged in ancient times. As for whether it would be beneficial to him, that remained to be seen.

"You stay here and lead the way. I'll inform you when I'm ready to go." Xia Feng instructed Long Aotian, "Arrange accommodation for him."

"Yes, Benefactor."

"Yes, Master."

Both nodded in agreement.

Long Aotian's address of "Master" startled Hong Ben Zong. No wonder Long Aotian's cultivation had improved so quickly; he had such an awesome master. How could he not improve rapidly?

While envious, Hong Ben Zong was also filled with longing.

"Let's go home." Xia Feng nodded and turned towards the car.

Dula Bide quickly ran over. As he passed Long Aotian, he said with a smile, "I'll drive back. You go and do what Master instructed."

Long Aotian needed to arrange things for Murong Tiangu and did not return with them in the car.

Hong Ben Zong watched Xia Feng, who had already left. He proactively walked towards Long Aotian and said respectfully, "Team Leader Long, there were many misunderstandings before. I hope you can be magnanimous. I guarantee this will never happen again. I will also restrain the disciples of the Laoshan Sect, ensuring they abide by their duties and do not cause trouble for the country."

"That would be best." Long Aotian's expression was calm, with no visible emotion on his face.

"Then I bid farewell." Hong Ben Zong clasped his hands and left with Gu Zhe.

As soon as Xia Feng returned to the villa, he saw Xia Lin and the others discussing something in the living room.

"Brother, you're back. Is the matter settled?" Xia Lin ran over and asked when she saw Xia Feng returning.

"It's settled." Xia Feng smiled and nodded.

"That's good." Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Then Xia Lin continued, "Brother, we're planning to visit Jingru's hometown. Do you want to come?"

"Visit Liu Jingru's hometown?"

Isn't that Chengdu? Xia Feng was planning to go to Qionglai Tiantai Mountain anyway, and Tiantai Mountain was only 110 kilometers from Chengdu city. It was quite on the way.

"Let's go together. I'll go for a visit too." Xia Feng nodded.

"Really?" Xia Lin exclaimed with surprise.

She had just said it casually and hadn't expected Xia Feng to join. Xia Feng's immediate agreement surprised her.

"Of course." Xia Feng smiled.

"Yay!" Xia Lin jumped with excitement.

"When are you leaving?" Xia Feng asked.

"We're planning to leave tomorrow. National Day is approaching, and it will be too troublesome if there are too many people at scenic spots. We're planning to visit the scenic spots before National Day." Xia Lin said.

"Okay, then tomorrow." Xia Feng nodded and went upstairs.

After Xia Feng went upstairs, Xia Lin walked to the living room and smiled at the others, "You all heard it just now, right? My brother is coming with us."

"We heard. It's great if Young Master Xia can come," the National Little Wang exclaimed.

Liu Jingru said nothing. In fact, she was wondering if Xia Feng agreed to come because they were going to her hometown.

If that was the case...

Did that mean Xia Feng had feelings for her?

Upon thinking of this, Liu Jingru's heart bloomed, and she clenched her small fists.

Xia Feng wasn't going to hang out with them; it was just on the way. In Chengdu, they would all do their own things. Xia Feng wouldn't take them to investigate ancient ruins.

The news of Xia Feng going to Chengdu spread quickly throughout the villa.

Old Wang shouted, "No one fight me for it. I'll arrange this trip to Chengdu."

Chengdu was also Old Wang's semi-hometown. He was born in Sichuan Province and had invested a lot of money in his hometown. Old Wang had done a great job for his hometown's development.

With Old Wang saying this, others found it difficult to argue, as Chengdu was his semi-hometown, and he knew it better than anyone.

"Alright, if you can do it, you do it."

"But make sure it's arranged well, so as not to embarrass Young Master Xia."

"We don't mind, but you have to arrange it well for Young Master Xia and Lin'er."

The few people chimed in, agreeing to let Old Wang make the arrangements.

"President Jiang, we'll still need your private jet. Mine is in Kyoto," Old Wang said to Jiang Quanshui.

"No problem. Besides, Young Master Xia is accustomed to flying on my private jet," Jiang Quanshui replied with a smile.

They had flown on Jiang Quanshui's private jet to Han City and Kyoto last time.

"Then it's settled. We're leaving tomorrow, so let's start arranging things tonight." Old Wang finalized, preparing all the travel arrangements.

While the elders discussed here, the younger ones discussed elsewhere.

"Lin'er, invite Yu Wei. That fatty has always wanted to tag along with us," Qin Dou suggested.

"Okay, you notify him. Sister Wen, also ask Zheng Qingya if she wants to come with us."

Xia Lin nodded. She had gotten along well with Yu Wei at Disneyland the day before yesterday, and his sweet talk had made her feel very comfortable.

"Okay." Qin Dou nodded.

"Qingya will definitely go. She has nothing to do," Qin Wen directly made the decision for Zheng Qingya. Even if she had something important, she would push it aside.

This time, Xia Lin had actively thought of her. She would be happy just to be included, let alone not have time.

Saying you don't have time is just an excuse when you're not important. You'll never have time.

Clearly, Xia Lin was the important one.

It was like when a boy pursues a girl. "No time" was just an excuse if she didn't want to go out with you.

If it were someone she liked, she would make time even if she didn't have any.

"Lin'er, this is a trip to my hometown. Why does it seem like everything is already arranged, and there's nothing for me to do? How can I fulfill my duties as a host?" Liu Jingru said with a smile, seeing that everyone had made such thorough arrangements.

Chengdu was her hometown, where she grew up. Logically, she should have arranged everything.

"Hehe... You're responsible for showing us around. You know all the best food and attractions," Xia Lin said, giggling as she pulled Liu Jingru.

Xia Lin was quite happy to go out and eat. Chengdu was famous for its delicious food and fun attractions.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied," Liu Jingru promised with a smile.

That evening, everyone packed their belongings in advance, preparing to depart for Chengdu the next day.
