Extraordinary Soldier King in the City-Chapter 577: The Strange Old Man

If it had been someone else just now, Chen Feng could have totally ignored them and just walked away.

But when it came to Ye Qianrou’s words, Chen Feng wouldn’t do that.

After all, she had helped him so much, and if he had acted that way, it would have been too impolite.

"Qianrou, were you looking for me for something?"

Chen Feng looked at Ye Qianrou, smiled, and asked with a puzzled face.

"It’s nothing major, just that I haven’t seen you around for the last few days and wanted to ask where you went!"

Ye Qianrou said with a gentle smile.

"Ah, I’ve had a lot of family issues recently, so I haven’t been coming to school, and I forgot to check in with you, my apologies!"

Chen Feng scratched the back of his head, speaking with a look of regret.

"I see, no problem. If you really don’t have time to come to school, just remember to give me a call to let me know; it’ll put me at ease. Otherwise, I might think something happened to you!"

Ye Qianrou said with a tender smile.

"Sure, I’ll do my best!"

Chen Feng nodded and replied.

At the same time, Chen Feng let out a sigh of relief in his heart, thankful that Qianrou wasn’t making a big deal out of it.

If only Lin Mengyao could be as easy to talk to as Qianrou!

"And by the way, if you’re not too busy lately, try not to skip class, especially since exams are coming up. You really need to buckle down!"

Ye Qianrou reminded him with a smile.

"Okay, Qianrou, don’t worry about it!"

Chen Feng nodded and promised.

"Alright, there’s nothing else, you can go back to whatever you were doing!"

Ye Qianrou waved her hand and instructed.

"Alright, Qianrou, see you later!"

Chen Feng nodded and immediately turned and walked briskly towards the teaching building.

Watching Chen Feng’s retreating figure, the smile on Ye Qianrou’s face gradually faded, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she thought to herself:

"Dao Feng, oh Dao Feng, after all this time I still haven’t gotten any useful clues from you. It seems that just monitoring you isn’t enough, it’s time to apply to the organization for the next step!"

With that thought, Ye Qianrou turned around and headed straight in the direction of her office...

After Lin Mengyao ran out of the school gate, she kept running forward along the road.

Looking back as she ran.

However, she did not see Chen Feng’s figure chasing after her.

This made Lin Mengyao’s eyes reflect a hint of sadness.

It seemed that she was not as important in Chen Feng’s heart as she had thought.

If she were that important, how could he possibly not come after her?

With that thought, Lin Mengyao felt a profound sadness; her eyes turned red, and tears fell like broken pearls, streaming continuously down her cheeks.

Lin Mengyao cried as she kept running forward, her pitiful state was truly heart-wrenching.

Just like that, not knowing how long she had run, Lin Mengyao finally stopped because she couldn’t run anymore.

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lin Mengyao looked up and surveyed her surroundings.

Upon looking, she was completely stunned.

She found herself in a totally unfamiliar place.

Mengyao hadn’t thought much about it while she was running, crying, and running with her head down.

Only when she looked up did she realize she might have taken a wrong turn.

She had never been to this place before.

After all, as the second young lady of the Lin Family, she had always been chauffeured to and from school by the butler, Wu Kun, and had never had to make her own way home.

Even Lin Mengyao seldom had the opportunity to go out alone, so naturally, she was more prone to getting lost.

Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, Lin Mengyao was not panicked.

After all, it was broad daylight, and though there weren’t many people nearby, the place wasn’t too remote. At worst, she could just retrace her steps back to school.

With that thought in mind, Lin Mengyao prepared to turn around and follow the same path back to school.

"Girl, since you’re here, why not have a chat with me?"

However, just at that moment, a chilling voice rang in Lin Mengyao’s ears.

Upon hearing it, Lin Mengyao’s delicate face subtly changed, and her delicate figure involuntarily shivered.

That voice was so eerie, like the evil spirits in a horror film, it made one’s skin crawl just listening to it.

Lin Mengyao quickly turned her head to check her surroundings.

This glance made her break out in a cold sweat.

Because there was not a single shadow around her.

Yet the voice seemed so close, as if it were right beside her ear.

Could it be haunted?

Thinking this, Lin Mengyao felt shivers running down her spine.

Lin Mengyao swept a glance around and asked with a pale face, "Who are you? Stop playing tricks on me, come out now!"

"Hehehe, playing tricks? Girl, your words are making this old man a bit unhappy!"

That eerie voice rang out once more.

"Who exactly are you?"

Lin Mengyao furrowed her brows, asking somewhat fearfully.

Although it was still daylight, such incidents were still frightening.

Moreover, Lin Mengyao was a girl. No matter how cold she appeared on the outside, her heart was still that of a young girl, and she was dead scared of such supernatural events.

"Girl, look to your right!"

That ominous voice echoed again.

Upon hearing it, Lin Mengyao instinctively looked to her right.

Her complexion shifted instantly upon looking.

Because at that moment, less than a meter to her right, an old man had appeared out of nowhere!

She had just surveyed her surroundings a moment ago and hadn’t seen a soul.

Now, in less than a minute, an old man had suddenly appeared. It was too bizarre, too frightening.

Lin Mengyao trembled as she scrutinized the old man.

To be precise, he wasn’t an elderly Huaxia man but a foreigner with blue eyes and a hooked nose.

What set him apart from a regular foreign old man was that he was dressed in a dark blue robe.

The robe was wrapped tightly around him from head to toe, only his face exposed.

Judging by his age, he seemed quite old with a wrinkled face, emanating a decaying aura, as if he would pass away soon.

But a careful look into his eyes would reveal a sharp gleam!

It was the kind of brightness that a majestic eagle soaring in the sky possessed, keen and spirited!

Such eyes were not commonly found in ordinary people!

Lin Mengyao stared intently at the old man and, with a trembling voice, asked, "Was it you speaking just now?"

"Cackle cackle cackle, little girl, of course, it was I, the old man. Did I scare you?"

The man in the blue robe grinned, speaking with a sinister laugh.

That laugh sounded genuinely like a ghost’s chortle.

"It’s fine, but may I ask, old sir, why did you call out to me?"

Lin Mengyao shook her head, looked at the man in the blue robe, and asked with a puzzled face.
