Chapter 697: I Remember You

After parting ways with the Golden-winged Great Peng, Qin Feng arrived at the Demon Slaying Department. Zhan Qingfeng and a group of demon hunters were already ready to leave, but there was a figure in the crowd that seemed extremely out of place.

She was wearing a bamboo hat, her hair cascading down like a waterfall, her face was pale, her lips were rosy, and she was dressed in a white martial attire, giving off a sense of heroic elegance.

Surprisingly, it was Ya’an disguised as a man!

Qin Feng was stunned and exclaimed, “What are you doing here?”

“There are rifts in Suiyang City, which will be of great benefit to my cultivation, so I thought I’d travel with you,” Ya’an explained.

The white bamboo hat conveniently covered her slightly flushed earlobes.

As a princess of a country and a scholar who cultivated Righteous Qi, she was truly uncomfortable telling lies with such ease. However, for the sake of the emotions that had been hidden in her heart for so long, all these sacrifices were worth it.

Qin Feng’s face showed a strange expression when he heard this. Recently, Ya’an had been quite inscrutable to him.

He approached Zhan Qingfeng and got on his horse. Zhan Qingfeng immediately brought his horse closer and whispered, “Brother Qin, do you know this handsome young man named An?”

“We’ve done some business together, why do you ask?”

“This Lord An is not easy at all. He was personally brought here by Lord Deng, and he specifically instructed me to ensure his safety during this trip to Suiyang City.”

A princess of a country is naturally not easy... Qin Feng’s eyebrows raised slightly.

“Brother Qin, can you reveal who he really is?” Zhan Qingfeng’s eyes lit up. He had never imagined that this white-clad young man had such a background!

If he could serve this white-clad young man well, wouldn’t it mean that he would rise to success and wealth after this mission?

He wouldn’t have to go on business trips anymore!

With this in mind, Zhan Qingfeng was eager to act, thinking about how to impress the other party.Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Qin Feng looked around and asked, “Are there no spare horses?”

Ya’an’s bright eyes blinked, then she sighed softly, “There are no spare horses, so we’ll just have to share one.”

Ya’an had planned all this in advance. She deliberately delayed getting on the horse, waited for Qin Feng to arrive, and then found an excuse to share a horse with him.

As her mother had said, if a man and a woman spent time together, feelings would inevitably develop. While she was trying to impress Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, she also wanted Qin Feng to gradually fall in love with her.

As she pretended to casually approach Qin Feng’s horse, only the heavens knew how fast Ya’an’s heart was beating at that moment.

Qin Feng tightened the reins and looked up. He saw a rift in the misty night sky, with golden light swirling around it like chains, binding the vast expanse of the Immortal Realm.

This was the seal set by the National Teacher of Heavenly Tower.

Qin Feng carefully sensed it with his divine consciousness, and then heaved a sigh of relief. The Ancient Divine Breath and Primordial Immortal Qi here were indeed much richer than elsewhere.

“Lord An, after such a long journey, you must be thirsty. Please drink some water.” Zhan Qingfeng was really going all out for his own future. He took down the water bag hanging from his saddle and respectfully offered it.

However, due to the incident with the horse, Ya’an didn’t have much goodwill towards Zhan Qingfeng. She was about to refuse when Qin Feng, not far away, curiously asked, “Where is my water bag?”

“Well, I’m a little thirsty.” Anya took the water bag and opened it. She didn’t want to kiss it directly; the idea of indirect contact was already stimulating enough for her.

She took a few sips in the air before handing it back.

Whether it was because she was very thirsty or for some other reason, she found the water a bit sweet...

“Brother Qin, what should we do next?” Zhan Qingfeng asked.

After some serious consideration, Qin Feng replied, “First, let’s enter the city, observe our surroundings, and then meet with the members of the Demon Slaying Department and the Sword Dao Alliance here.”

“Shouldn’t we go directly to the shrine to find out what’s going on?” Zhan Qingfeng suggested.

Qin Feng shook his head. “For safety’s sake, let’s not go directly to the shrine. It’s better to know our enemies before taking action.”

“Alright, we’ll follow your lead, Brother Qin,” Zhan Qingfeng nodded before informing his colleagues. Everyone agreed, as no one wanted to risk their own lives.

As Qin Feng and the others entered Suiyang City, he deliberately slowed down and approached Ya’an. “When I was in Imperial City, I wanted to advise you not to get involved in this mess. The danger here is far beyond what you can imagine. But I also know that I couldn’t stop you. In the next few days, try to stay close to me and don’t go too far. Do you understand?”

Ya’an felt warm inside at Qin Feng’s words. She turned her face away slightly to hide the tenderness in her eyes.

She had wanted to reply as usual, saying that she was also a fourth rank and was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. But when the words reached her lips, they turned into a soft murmur: “Mm.”

So obedient?

Qin Feng was extremely surprised.

Meanwhile, as Qin Feng’s group entered Suiyang City, in a certain busy shrine, the statue the size of an ordinary human head showed a sinister smile.

“Primordial Qi...”
