Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Spiritual Resonance

Gazing at the medicinal herb in Pan Tingting’s hand, Zhu Fei was genuinely a bit tempted.

To know that it was a branch of Red Blood Ginseng, and furthermore, a branch with a high age and excellent quality.

Red Blood Ginseng is a type of superior Spiritual Medicine that nourishes blood and qi, cultivates the primal essence, and strengthens the foundation.

For both Cultivators and Martial Artists, it has an incomparable allure, capable of quickly helping them clear their meridians, fill their Dantian, and even directly enhance their cultivation.

Especially for Zhu Fei at this moment, in the medicinal prescriptions he needed for his upcoming practice, Red Blood Ginseng was one of the indispensable Spiritual Medicines.

And the only way to find Red Blood Ginseng, besides shamelessly seeking assistance from Chunqiu Pavilion again, was to venture into the primitive jungle.

It was only in that environment, rich with the original ways of life, where the residue of intense battles between beasts or even ferocious beasts, drenched in thick blood, that it was possible for Red Blood Ginseng to grow.

Zhu Fei believed that even Chunqiu Pavilion might not currently possess this Red Blood Ginseng.

Therefore, in the next moment, after only a brief moment of contemplation, he immediately nodded and answered, "Alright, it’s a deal!"

After a slight pause, he added, "However, I want to make it clear to you beforehand, if that guy you’re talking about ends up provoking me, don’t blame me for not being polite."

"And also, I might need to go out for a bit tomorrow, to the school. When that time comes, could you please request a leave of absence for me?"

Indeed, Zhu Fei had already agreed with Qiu Ruoxue prior to this that he would accompany her to Jiangnan tomorrow to treat her grandfather’s illness.

It was something that couldn’t be helped, after all, between him and Qiu Ruoxue, they were somewhat friends.

And with Song Yan involved, whether it was out of gratitude for the medicine he’d given or the life-saving grace of the past, a trip to Jiangnan was now unavoidable for Zhu Fei.

"What? You want to take a day off tomorrow? Where are you going? What for? How long will you be gone? It won’t be for a long time, will it?"

Upon hearing that Zhu Fei would be leaving, Pan Tingting instantly felt anxious and couldn’t help but blurt out a series of questions.

Knowing that Yan Chong might arrive at any time.

What if... what if he arrived while Zhu Fei hadn’t returned, and she couldn’t find any excuses or reasons? Wouldn’t she be in a terrible position?

Watching Pan Tingting’s anxious expression, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel speechless.

But he still replied, "I shouldn’t be gone too long. In any case, as soon as I’ve taken care of my business, I will come right back."

"As for where I’m going and what I’m doing..."

At this point, Zhu Fei glanced at the Red Blood Ginseng in Pan Tingting’s hand and smiled, "If you’re willing to tell me the origin of this Red Blood Ginseng, then I’m not against telling you about my plans."

Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Pan Tingting was taken aback, and then somewhat irritably rolled her eyes at him and snapped, "Zhu Fei, don’t even dream about it!"

Knowing that the Red Blood Ginseng was given to her by those people, how could Pan Tingting possibly tell Zhu Fei?

Although that was what she thought internally, her hand still reached toward Zhu Fei, thrusting the Red Blood Ginseng into his palm and saying, "Zhu Fei, I’m giving you the item now, so you better not stand me up later."

Taking the Red Blood Ginseng, Zhu Fei’s eyes subtly flickered imperceptibly, then he nodded with a smile and assured, "Don’t worry, we’ve known each other for quite some time now, don’t you trust my character?"

As he spoke, before Pan Tingting could say anything else, he continued,

"By the way, about that guy you mentioned earlier, you don’t have any objections, do you?"

"About that guy?"

Pan Tingting was startled, then subconsciously avoided Zhu Fei’s gaze and said with a slight flicker in her beautiful eyes, "Sure, but it would be best if you don’t get into a conflict with him."

"Oh."

Zhu Fei simply nodded noncommittally, his mind unconsciously marked by a trace of doubt.

But in the end, he didn’t continue to talk about it and instead took the Red Blood Ginseng and returned to his own room.

Watching Zhu Fei’s retreating back disappear, Pan Tingting’s eyes were complicated. She lifted her hand slightly as if wanting to call out to him.

But in the end, she lowered her hand and, after letting out a deep sigh in her heart, she too turned and left.

...

The next morning, Zhu Fei didn’t greet Pan Tingting, nor did he head to school, but instead went directly to the entrance of a café.

This place was where he had passed by yesterday while returning with Qiu Ruoxue and others.

And it was Qiu Ruoxue who had agreed to meet Zhu Fei here this morning.

When Zhu Fei arrived, he had only waited for a short while before a red Beetle pulled up beside him.

The car door opened, and Qiu Ruoxue, dressed in casual attire, hopped out.

Today, Qiu Ruoxue wore a black jacket with a lapel, a white T-shirt underneath, and a pair of casual white jeans.

Accompanied by her ’refined’ features and the efficiency of a police captain, her entire presence radiated a unique charm that was exceedingly pleasant to the eye.

At that moment, as she looked at Zhu Fei, her typically indifferent face unexpectedly revealed a slight smile to him, gesturing towards the café behind them and said,

"You haven’t had breakfast yet, right? How about here?"

Zhu Fei nodded, and he didn’t refuse either.

To be honest, he was never particular about food.

However, as the two of them entered the café and ordered their breakfast, Zhu Fei suddenly found himself in a bit of a predicament.

The utensils in front of him did not include chopsticks but were some knives and forks, which he had never used before.

Perhaps the original owner of this body had used these tools before, but Zhu Fei had not.

He looked across at Qiu Ruoxue, who was skillfully handling the knives and forks, and with a wry smile, he could only try to imitate her actions, clumsily moving the cutlery around.

"Huh? Zhu Fei, have you never eaten Western food before?"

Noting the awkwardness of Zhu Fei’s movements with the knife and fork and the occasional wry smile, Qiu Ruoxue felt somewhat surprised.

She didn’t expect someone like Zhu Fei to ever feel embarrassed.

She laughed softly, reached out, and took hold of Zhu Fei’s wrist, saying in a gentle voice, "Let me teach you."

For some inexplicable reason, she felt that only at times like this was Zhu Fei truly real in her eyes.

The Zhu Fei from before, though seemingly gentle on the surface when facing her, she could feel that there was a barrier around him, keeping her, and everyone else, out of his own world, not allowing easy entry.

Qiu Ruoxue knew well that this was a form of protection, an unconscious self-defense.

Because she was the same sort of person.

Aside from the mundane aspects of work, it was virtually impossible for the ordinary person to enter Qiu Ruoxue’s inner world.

Feeling Qiu Ruoxue’s attentiveness, inhaling the faint virgin scent emanating from her, and listening to her rarely soft and tender words, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of resonance with her.

It was a resonance between souls.

As if an invisible thread was bridging the gap between them, quietly, gradually, gently entwining them together.

There was no tumultuous passion, no intense dialogue—everything seemed so natural, so tranquil.

...

Twenty minutes later, the two of them walked out of the café together.

Yet, without realizing it, their relationship had shed some of its previous barriers and had become more natural.

Qiu Ruoxue opened the passenger door for Zhu Fei and gave him a slight smile, "Get in, I’ll be counting on you this time."

Zhu Fei shook his head, also smiling, "No problem."

With that, he got into the passenger seat.

And Qiu Ruoxue, without hesitation, opened the other side of the car door, and soon after, started the car.

...
