Bai Ling laughed again, "You should know what kind of benefits I'm looking for."

Ling Zhenfei was startled, and of course he knew what benefits Bai Ling was referring to, but with Yang Zixuan present, Ling Zhenfei couldn't say much and could only pretend to be unaware.

"What do I know? I don't want to know anything. Let's just leave it at that for now, we can talk about your conditions later."

"Alright, then we'll talk about it later." Bai Ling was very pleased with her smile, apparently thinking of something.

After entrusting his affairs to Bai Ling, he told Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling what he was going to do, and then he left Yang Zixuan's house.

Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling stood by the windowsill, watching Ling Zhenfei's departing figure. Yang Zixuan asked Bai Ling, "Do we still need to follow him?"

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "He claimed he's returning to the villa to entertain important guests, but I feel there's more to it than that."

"Why?" Yang Zixuan asked, somewhat confused.

With a serious face, Bai Ling said, "Don't you want to know where Ling Zhenfei went last night?"

"Where did he go last night?" Yang Zixuan asked with a bewildered face.

Bai Ling said, "Although I don't know where he went last night, I'm sure he was with a woman."

"With a woman, how do you know that?" Yang Zixuan looked at Bai Ling in shock.

"It's quite simple—look, what is this?" After speaking, Bai Ling took out a strand of hair, a long black hair, from her hand.

"Whose long hair is this?"

"It's definitely a woman's. I found it on Ling Zhenfei's clothes. My hair is red, and yours is blond, so this hair isn't from either of us."

"That's true. It looks like Big Brother Ling really was with a woman last night, and they were very close; otherwise, hair wouldn't have fallen on him," Yang Zixuan analyzed seriously.

Bai Ling nodded, "Exactly, so whether Ling Zhenfei is really going back to Qinghe Village this time is really uncertain."

"What should we do then, shall we follow him?"

Bai Ling shook her head, "There's no need to follow; have you forgotten the incident from yesterday? If you want to compete for Ling Zhenfei, then you need to improve yourself."

"Oh, I see, Bai Ling," Yang Zixuan now trusted Bai Ling very much.

Bai Ling stared blankly in the direction Ling Zhenfei had gone, lost in thought about something.

Of course, Ling Zhenfei didn't know he was being discussed by two women behind his back. He had a lot on his mind and was thinking that once he saw Chu He and Li Ru off, he would go to Xianling Mountain for Rejuvenation Grass.

The sooner he found Rejuvenation Grass, the sooner he could refine the life-extending pill to help Lu Huanong's extended life.

He was driving from Binyang City towards Qinghe Village. Reaching the outskirts, the traffic thinned considerably. After a while, the car turned onto a rural road, where there were even fewer vehicles.

Perhaps it was due to being in the outskirts, but the weather suddenly turned cooler, reminding Ling Zhenfei that it was already autumn and winter would soon arrive. It would be even more difficult to enter Xianling Mountain in winter.

As he turned a bend in the mountain road, he suddenly saw someone standing on the road ahead. Ling Zhenfei's heart jolted, and he quickly braked the car. If he hadn't stopped, he would have definitely hit the person in front.

Ling Zhenfei felt a flash of anger in his heart, thinking it was rather suicidal for someone to be standing in the middle of the road like that.

He rolled down the window and shouted at the person, "Hey, kid, what are you doing?"

Ling Zhenfei could now see the person clearly through the window. This person seemed to be in their twenties, yet his eyebrows were already white, long and very distinctive.

The person's eyes were bright and expressive, his stature not very tall, covered from head to toe in a large overcoat—wrapped up tightly.

Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, the person not only didn't move out of the way, but actually walked towards Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, this simply defied common sense, under normal circumstances, the person should have immediately moved to the side.

When the person reached Ling Zhenfei, he spoke with a respectful face, "Hello, Big Brother, I need to go to Qinghe Village, can you give me a lift?"

The person's voice was very low, as if only meant for himself to hear.

Ling Zhenfei was slightly curious about what this person was up to, but since he had asked, Ling Zhenfei didn't think much of it.

"Sure, come on up, I'm on my way there anyway."

The person very consciously opened the car's back door and got in, and Ling Zhenfei, without giving it much thought, took him towards Qinghe Village.

"Are you also going to Qinghe Village? May I know what you're doing there?"

The youngster's face showed no expression as he said flatly, "I'm looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Ling Zhenfei became even more curious.

"I am looking for Ling Zhenfei."

Ling Zhenfei was startled to hear this; he had not expected the person to be looking for him, but he had never seen this person before and had no idea why he was being sought.

"What do you want with Ling Zhenfei? Do you know him?"

The person raised his white eyebrows and said, "Of course, to kill him."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, the person had said he wanted to kill him, could it be an assassin organization? But the person did not emanate any Northern Spiritual Energy, making Ling Zhenfei feel even more terrified.

If a Spiritual Cultivator showed no sign of Northern Spiritual Energy, then there were only two reasons for it, one being that the energy was so weak that it hadn't condensed into Northern Spiritual Energy at all.

The other reason would be having a treasure that could conceal one's Northern Spiritual Energy or having cultivated a technique that could hide it.

Yet, this person in front of Ling Zhenfei baffled him, as he did not show a trace of Northern Spiritual Energy, which was rather strange.

"You want to kill Ling Zhenfei, but do you know who he is?"

The youngster shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I will soon. My grandfather said that this Ling Zhenfei is very famous in Qinghe Village, and that I could find out just by asking around."

One couldn't tell if he was somewhat simple-minded, as the person seemed to answer every question, as if explaining everything to Ling Zhenfei. The idea of picking someone like this to be an assassin was just too good.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but laugh, the idea of murdering someone without knowing their face, relying solely on one's own inquiries, was simply adorably stupid.

"What's your name, and where are you from?"

The youngster said blankly, "They all call me Bai Mei, from a place very far away."

Ling Zhenfei almost burst into laughter, now more than ever he felt this youngster was someone not fully mentally developed.

"Then can I know, why do you want to kill Ling Zhenfei?" Ling Zhenfei asked tentatively.

Bai Mei thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa said to come and kill Ling Zhenfei, so I came."

Ling Zhenfei truly didn't know what to do, unsure of where to take someone intent on killing him.

"And your grandfather?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Bai Mei said blankly, "Lost him!"
