Chapter 398: Chapter 398: The Mysterious Uncle Long

"Big... Big brother, sorry."

At this moment, the girl held in Zhu Fei’s arms suddenly murmured to him with difficulty.

Only then did Zhu Fei startlingly realize; he lowered his head to look at the girl, and the sight of her condition couldn’t help but cause a slight sinking in his heart.

The girl was covered in blood, her breath almost gone, her meridians and internal organs completely ruptured, obviously beyond revival.

She opened her pair of black eyes wide, just staring blankly at Zhu Fei, her gaze not filled with the fear of impending death, but with regret, regret for implicating Zhu Fei.

"Big... Big brother, thank you. If Lian’er has a next life, she will... will come back to repay big brother... Big..."

The girl, referring to herself as Lian’er, had only gotten halfway through her sentence when the light in her eyes completely dimmed, and her hand fell limply.

At this moment, her life force had finally come to an end.

Zhu Fei stared blankly at Lian’er’s body, feeling an inexplicable surge of sadness in his heart.

Although his time with the girl called Lian’er was but a few short minutes, and she didn’t even know his name,

he could tell from Lian’er’s behavior before her death that she was a kind and very pitiful girl.

This involuntarily reminded him of Tang Mengyun; her image was so similar to Tang Mengyun’s.

If one day, Tang Mengyun also encountered something like what happened to Lian’er...

At this thought, Zhu Fei shivered coldly inside and dared not continue thinking further.

"Boom!"

Just then, Lian’er’s body inexplicably ignited on its own.

Specks of Spirit Light appeared, and soon the Spirit Light shot up into the sky, disappearing from Zhu Fei’s sight in the blink of an eye.

A reincarnated being!

Zhu Fei was slightly startled, suddenly recalling something he seemed to have read in an ancient tome in his past life.

The body combusting naturally, Spirit Light soaring to the heavens, these were the signs of the reincarnation of a powerful being.

Could it be that the girl he had rescued was once some earth-shattering great figure?

Zhu Fei shook his head, casting aside the mess of thoughts in his mind.

Just as he was about to rejoin Liu Jian, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man not far from him, continuously waving at him.

Soon after, the middle-aged man’s telepathic message sounded in his ears.

"Benevolent sir, if you don’t wish to involve your friend, it’s best not to look for him. I have something to discuss with you. If you’re willing, please follow me."

With that, the middle-aged man walked away into the distance.

Zhu Fei frowned slightly.

He had no idea who the man was or what business he had with him, but there was no denying that the man’s warning was not without merit.

Now that he had offended that vicious woman, if she still harbored the intention not to easily let him go, seeking out Liu Jian would undoubtedly bring unnecessary trouble to him.

With that in mind, Zhu Fei hesitated no longer.

Immediately, he sent a telepathic message to Liu Jian, telling him they should not meet again unless necessary, and then quietly caught up with the middle-aged man.

The man’s figure flitted through the crowd, appearing and disappearing intermittently, which took Zhu Fei by surprise.

He almost doubted whether he could have caught up to the man’s pace if it weren’t for the man deliberately allowing himself to be seen.

Finally, after a short while, the middle-aged man entered a very inconspicuous little hut.

Looking around at the surrounding environment, Zhu Fei felt that this unremarkable cottage stood out awkwardly against the bustling grandeur of Wind Forest City.

He hesitated slightly, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and entered the small hut.

Upon entering, he immediately saw the middle-aged man sitting in front of him.

The man’s face was not clear, his entire appearance blurred, and his aura was enigmatic and unpredictable.

Yet Zhu Fei could distinctly feel that this middle-aged man was smiling at him.

Encountering such a bizarre person or rather, phenomenon, for the first time in his two lifetimes, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Who are you? What matter do you have with me?"

Zhu Fei forced himself to calm down and asked in a slightly deep voice.

"Hehe, you need not be nervous, benefactor. I bear you no ill will."

The middle-aged man firstly reassured Zhu Fei, then continued, "Let me introduce myself first. You can call me Uncle Long. I called you here to give you something as a token of gratitude for the assistance you rendered to our sovereign in the past..."

"Wait, your sovereign, are you referring to Lian’er?"

Before the man who claimed to be Uncle Long could finish his sentence, Zhu Fei interrupted, somewhat shocked.

"Hehe, yes, it’s her. That was the path she chose for herself. I can’t speak much about the specifics, but I can also responsibly tell you that Lian’er is now deceased."

Uncle Long smiled briefly before adding, "However, since she has this karmic connection with you in this life, when our sovereign is fully reborn, she will repay you for your kindness today."

"What are you talking about? I don’t quite understand. If Lian’er is indeed your sovereign, then why didn’t you save her earlier?"

Zhu Fei’s mind was somewhat chaotic.

He really did not understand what Uncle Long’s intentions were with those words, and what they had to do with him directly or indirectly.

"Hehe, as I said earlier, that was the path our sovereign chose on her own. As a subordinate, I must not interfere with her lightly, as for you..."

At this point, Zhu Fei noticed that the corner of Uncle Long’s mouth seemed to curve into a meaningful smile.

"As for you, you are just one of her countless reincarnations of karma. Your encounter and even the act of saving her, those are things outside of fate, they are different."

"Alright, I can only tell you this much for now. Let’s now talk about your own affairs. Do you really think that you can offend the Xiahou family’s young mistress and she would easily let you off?"

"What? Are you saying that woman from earlier is from the Xiahou family?"

Zhu Fei was slightly startled.

Although he found Uncle Long’s words quite difficult to understand, he did not want to dwell on areas he was not yet able to touch upon.

He could tell that Uncle Long was exceedingly mysterious, almost giving him the illusion that this person did not belong to this world.

But those concerns were irrelevant to him at the moment. The reason he saved Lian’er was simply because it was his inherent nature to do so.

Compared to that, he was more interested in the Xiahou family mentioned by Uncle Long.

Seeing Zhu Fei did not continue to inquire about those previous matters, a hint of appreciation flashed in Uncle Long’s profound eyes.

He nodded and said, "Indeed, that woman is from the Xiahou family, and she is the current eldest daughter of the Xiahou family, named Xiahou Rui."

"Now that you’ve angered her, don’t you think, benefactor, that there will be a significant risk if you still want to enter the Wind Forest Valley Secret Realm later?"
