Chapter 307: Chapter 307: The Whereabouts of Aunt Shen

"Qin Feng, what are you doing here?"

An Ran’s smile didn’t diminish, but the smile she had when she thought of Su Luo was a bit different from this one–the former was born out of longing for Su Luo, while the latter was meant for a friend.

"Seeing you alone over here, I thought I’d come and keep you company," Qin Feng said with a smile, as he came to stand beside An Ran, shoulder to shoulder.

An Ran subtly shifted to the side to maintain a certain distance, still smiling as she said, "I heard you’re about to break through to become an Eighth Rank Grandmaster, congratulations!"

Qin Feng smiled and replied, "I’ve already made the breakthrough. I came here to share this good news with you."

A hint of surprise flickered through An Ran’s eyes.

He had already made the breakthrough?

"An Eighth Rank Grandmaster at twenty-six, with talent and cultivation speed nearly unmatched in your generation," An Ran commented, of course, she only used the word "nearly." In her view, Brother Su Luo would definitely not be weaker than Qin Feng.

Qin Feng shook his head: "Compared to Marquis Anyue in his early years, I still have a long way to go. And without making it onto the Heaven’s List, I still lack the power to command the world. I’ve got to keep working hard."

An Ran originally wanted to pat his shoulder but stopped herself just as she was about to do so, and simply said, "Qin Feng, you don’t need to compare yourself with others; competing with yourself is enough. I believe that you will make it onto the Heaven’s List one day and become one of the top figures in the world, holding your own place at the summit."

Qin Feng grinned, "Thank you for always encouraging me and believing in me since we were young. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I won’t let you down."

An Ran smiled: "It has nothing to do with me; it’s all your own doing."

After saying this, An Ran added, "Qin Feng, I’m a bit tired, I want to go back to rest."

"Then let me walk you back," Qin Feng immediately proposed.

"No need, I’d like to walk alone," An Ran declined.

Nowadays, she actively maintained a distance from the opposite sex, especially Qin Feng, because she realized that Qin Feng didn’t just see her as a sister or just as a friend, but seemed to harbor other feelings as well.

Qin Feng was slightly stunned, then gave a wry smile: "Well... alright then, just be careful on your own."

"Don’t worry, this is the Kunlun Special Training Base, it’s very safe," An Ran assured him with a smile and a wave.

However, just as she had walked a few steps away, Qin Feng called after her, "An Ran, could you still call me ’Little Fengzi’ in the future? Hearing you call me ’Qin Feng’ feels so impersonal."

"It’s not impersonal. You’ve become an Eighth Rank Grandmaster, and if I still call you ’Little Fengzi,’ what would that be? It wouldn’t look good for your reputation. You know, you’re meant to be a person who stands at the pinnacle of the world. I’m off", An Ran waved her hand and left.

Although she said so, Qin Feng’s face darkened slightly.

He could clearly sense that An Ran was keeping her distance from him.

That wasn’t how An Ran used to be with him.

They used to horse around.

But now, An Ran wouldn’t even stand too close to him.

"Is it because of Su Luo?" Qin Feng clenched his fist, frowning deeply.

His background was tragic, even though he came from the Qin Family of the Capital, it seemed he was born into a prestigious clan, his true status was not so revered, as he was born out of wedlock, and to this day, he still didn’t know who his father was.

He grew up being called a bastard, despised by the Qin family. As a child, he was malnourished and short, conspicuously frail among his peers and often bullied.

Especially the legitimate scions of the Qin family, who abused and cursed him, joined hands to ostracize and mistreat him.

They called him a bastard and plotted against him but nobody in the aristocratic circles of the Capital took him seriously.

The only exception was An Ran.

He would never forget the little girl who held an umbrella for him on a rainy night when he couldn’t get up after being beaten, nor the chocolates An Ran shared with him as a child, nor An Ran’s words of encouragement...

Even his initial self-defense skills were taught to him by An Ran’s bodyguard, enabling him to start fighting back when bullied.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, by any means necessary, ready to stoop to the lowest levels. With his status as a "bastard," he rose step by step until today, when he had long trampled all the legitimate heirs of the Qin Family underfoot.

Especially his unparalleled martial arts talent among peers forced the Qin Family to recognize his status and begin to nurture him.

Even though he could be ruthless and unscrupulous toward others, he was always gentle with An Ran.

An Ran thought that he treated her as a sister, as a friend, but in reality... from the moment he came of age, he had vowed to marry An Ran, to give her happiness. He was determined to become the most powerful figure in the world, to show An Ran that he was her best choice.

But what he didn’t expect was that An Ran would gradually grow distant from him.

Was it because of that Su Luo?

Definitely!

Qin Feng’s expression darkened.

Ever since he swore to marry An Ran, any boy who got too close to her was considered a thorn in his side. Thankfully... An Ran didn’t have much contact with the opposite sex and had never been too close to any. Even if someone wanted to pursue An Ran, they wouldn’t dare after his warning and threats.

But he never imagined that An Ran would run off to Jiangbei without any warning, to find a man named Su Luo.

"No matter who it is, they can’t take An Ran away from me. She is mine, and only I can give her happiness. Anyone who dares covet An Ran must die!" Qin Feng clenched his fists tightly.

In that moment, the air around him exploded with the force of his inner turmoil.

...

Jinling.

After dealing with Xia Lianyun and Zhao Jingwu, Su Luo left immediately. He wanted to see Aunt Shen once more before heading to the Kunlun Special Training Base.

Therefore.

He took a plane directly from Jinling to Jintian.

However.

When Su Luo arrived at the Hua Feng Building, he used his Divine Sense to scan the building but did not find any trace of Aunt Shen.

Aunt Shen wasn’t here anymore?

Su Luo frowned.

Just as he was about to contact Zhao Jingwu for information, to his surprise, Zhao Jingwu took the initiative to send him a message:

"Mr. Su, I will always be loyal to you. I know you will be concerned about Miss Shen Qingzhi’s whereabouts. I have just received news about her. Tomorrow, she will go to Kun City with the heads of the business association to attend a special auction and a Hidden Sect exchange meeting. I hope this is useful to you."

Seeing this message, Su Luo was quite surprised.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Jingwu to take the initiative to show loyalty.

As for any deceit?

Su Luo believed Zhao Jingwu didn’t have the courage for that.

But even if there was deceit, what of it?

Su Luo was not afraid.

"Kun City is near Mount Kunlun. On the way to the Kunlun Special Training Base, I’ll have to pass by there anyway. It’s a good opportunity to see Aunt Shen." A smile appeared on Su Luo’s face, looking forward to meeting Aunt Shen.
