Chapter 147 Pain
There wasn't much commotion below the hospital. It wasn't until everything was over that Chen Feng saw the tense Yin Hu standing beside him and realized that nothing was wrong.
His expression hardened, and sensing something, he was about to get out of bed.
Yin Hu, however, sensed his intention and spread his wings to block him.
"Don't go and die."
Yin Hu's deep voice was full of vigilance.
"Get out!" The low monosyllable was squeezed out of his throat.
Yin Hu stared intently at him.
His bright yellow eyes exuded an imposing aura, yet this powerful presence had no effect on Chen Feng.
It had to back away.
However, in those few minutes after getting off the elevator, it was all over.
The hospital was deserted, the atmosphere cold and deathly still.
The gentle and smiling Senior Sister Zhang has become a cold corpse.
She lay in a pool of blood, the blood spreading from her heart like the red spider lily, blooming with dazzling red petals, burying this gentle girl.
They stung Chen Feng's eyes deeply.
At that moment, his mind went completely blank until the festive engagement invitation fell off him, bringing Chen Feng back to his senses.
The smooth sailing and carefree journey almost made Chen Feng forget what it felt like to fall.
"Buzzing..."
A vibrating sound came from Chen Feng's pocket.
Chen Feng answered the phone expressionlessly.
There was a deathly silence on the other end before Lu Tianzhang's unprecedentedly solemn voice rang out.
"It was my oversight; the mission failed. Chen Feng, you don't need to stay any longer. I've already prepared your plane ticket back home."
"Hmm." Chen Feng surprisingly found his tone unusually calm, but his words didn't follow his thought process. "Where's Senior Sister Zhang?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end before Lu Tianzhang's resolute voice came through: "Sorry, someone will come to pick her up."
"Okay." Chen Feng hung up the phone, but instead of putting it back in his pocket, he threw it away, as if venting some kind of anger.
It wasn't directed at anyone else, but because of myself.
Chen Feng moved his fractured leg forward and forcefully lifted Zhang Jingyi's body, which was gradually losing its warmth.
At that moment, he knew perfectly well that his heart was aching terribly from being so sentimental.
……
As the sun sets, the sky is beautifully desolate.
Just like the woman in the black robe sitting by the window, slowly turning half of her face, which was hidden by a black hat and coat.
A pale yet dangerous beauty, like a poppy.
"President Lu, is it necessary to give me such an expression? I merely accidentally ruined a delicate flower in your greenhouse."
She should have been as far away from Chen Feng as he was, but in the blink of an eye she appeared in another country.
Such strength is rare even in the world of ancient martial arts.
Almost no one could look her in the eye.
However, Lu Tianzhang is not within this scope.
"You came here just to talk about this?" Lu Tianzhang's usually calm face was unusually gloomy today, as if a storm was brewing.
The woman in black chuckled softly.
She suddenly said, "No. I'm a little disappointed that one of them escaped the net. His name is Chen Feng, isn't it? Not a bad name. I'll kill him next time."
Lu Tianzhang stared at her silently, without answering any of her words.
Because she always keeps her word.
"How boring, Chairman Lu. You haven't changed at all." The woman in black robes bent her knees, her posture somewhat resembling that of a lonely young girl.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianzhang's angry expression seemed to be abruptly interrupted, and his expression went blank for a few seconds.
He controlled his gaze and avoided looking at her.
“Tian Zhang, I didn’t want to kill that child either.” The woman in black robes turned around.
This is the first time she has shown her true appearance.
This face, which had committed such a cruel act, had skin as white as snow, delicate features, and eyes as soft as a small animal's.
This face, which was practically the epitome of "pure and flawless," ultimately captivated Lu Tianzhang.
The past is unearthed from the deepest recesses of memory because of this unchanging face, replaying scene by scene, containing so much.
However, while his memory was still warm, he saw that the small cherry lips on that face gradually formed a smile that was enough to destroy that "delicate beauty".
Her seductive smile tempted all beings to try her charms and become tainted with sin.
"It's a pity you interfered with us. I had to kill her to tell you that you made the wrong choice." The woman in black smiled insincerely. "It's all because of you that the child died. How pitiful."
Lu Tianzhang clenched his fists, stood up from his chair in a fit of rage, and hissed, "Enough!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A silvery laugh rang out from the woman in the black robe. The instigator laughed so hard she almost fell over, then stood up and stared at Lu Tianzhang.
She said meaningfully, "Tian Zhang, one day I will kill you. I came here this time only to give you a warning. The ancient martial arts world is about to fall into chaos. The calamity predicted by the ancient priest will eventually come, and we will meet again soon."
After saying that, she gave Lu Tianzhang a deep look and then leaned back.
Her body fell directly out of the window, like a black butterfly.
But she can't possibly die.
So Lu Tianzhang remained motionless, only his profile showed an unprecedented look of dejection.
That kind of expression shouldn't be on his face, but perhaps everyone has their own story to tell...
Chen Feng returned even later than Zhang Jingyi.
The Martial Arts Association headquarters was affected by the atmosphere of mourning for those few days.
This was the first time Chen Feng had learned that the Martial Arts Association actually had a cemetery where countless commissioners who sacrificed their lives and had nowhere to go were buried.
Chen Feng stood before the grave; while others came to mourn, he seemed to be there on guard duty.
When he smoked his second pack of cigarettes, someone finally told her, "She doesn't actually like the smell of cigarettes. After we get married, all my cigarettes will be confiscated."
Chen Feng was taken aback. He looked up and saw a man with bloodshot eyes and an aura of exhaustion, yet he gave him a relaxed smile.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Chen Feng said naturally.
Even he was stunned after he said it.
"This is... fucking unlike me," Chen Feng said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"It's alright," the man said, extending his hand to Chen Feng, who hesitated for a moment before taking it.
The man chuckled again: "Thank you for staying here so long. It seems she's done a very good job as a senior. I understand the situation at the time; there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. Missions... always involve risks."
Chen Feng silently withdrew his hand, and finally threw the cigarette on the ground, crushing it.
"It's just a pity I can't invite you to my wedding." The man laughed, but then seemed to have his eyes fogged up by the wind.
Then came a long, deathly silence.
