Later, after verifying the reliability of this information, national security agents returned. Even later, Wang Xiaoyun returned to school and resumed her normal life. Lan Yu approached Wang Xiaoyun, asking about the whereabouts of her brother, Lin Feng. Another conflict arose between Wang Xiaoyun and Lan Yu, which was personally mediated by Principal Zhang, leading to reconciliation. Then, a shocking rumor spread like wildfire through Yushan High School: Lan Yu had been disowned by her family, and her identity as the heiress of the Lan family was shattered. Lan Yu was ridiculed and mocked by students, primarily by a group led by the infatuated chubby girl Zhang Yunlu, accusing Lan Yu of being a super vain liar who never fulfilled her promises. However, Lan Yu was unfazed, solemnly inviting all students again to her grand birthday party, where the Lan family would provide transportation to and from the school. As expected, on the night of the full moon, over a hundred young men and women gathered at Luo Yuan Xiao Zhu for a lively bonfire party. Those invited were personally escorted by Mr. Lan Jianren, the temporary head of the Lan family. During the party, Mr. Lan Jianren solemnly announced that, to celebrate his dear sister’s birthday, after the banquet, he would invite all teachers and students to view the unique spectacle of the Jade Disc Mountain’s Dew Condensation Platform. Mr. Lan Jianren promised that anyone fortunate enough to enter the Dew Condensation Platform would have complete freedom of action within it, with no interference from the Lan family. The rumor of Lan Yu’s disownment was quickly debunked.
204 Infiltrating the Lan Family, Lin Feng shielded Qin Jian behind him as the cable car changed its course mid-journey, no longer descending vertically but instead sliding diagonally downward. The howling wind seemed to indicate that the exit was just ahead. Lin Feng, with his luck, had a faint golden light enveloping his body like a protective aura. “Brother Qin, we’re at the exit, be careful!” Under such circumstances, neither of them could speak, but fortunately, Lin Feng’s ability to send messages telepathically was not hindered. Lin Feng briefly conveyed his concerns, and the cable car suddenly slowed down after a rapid deceleration. The light outside brightened in an instant. As soon as Lin Feng caught a glimpse of the scenery outside the exit, he leapt off the cable car like a ghost, disappearing in a flash. With a screech, the cable car came to a stop, leaving only Qin Jian on board. Two burly men immediately approached, surprised to see only Qin Jian, a somewhat unkempt middle-aged man, in the now-empty cable car. With a clatter, both men drew weapons from their waists, eyeing Qin Jian warily, “Who are you?” The weapons in their hands were high-voltage electric batons crackling with eerie blue arcs, which were extremely nerve-wracking. Qin Jian, now just an ordinary mortal, dared not let anyone attack him with those batons. He was distressed that the only creature protecting him had suddenly vanished. He had to think of a way to calm his opponents: “The teachings of the Sect Leader, unity of purpose, all can be achieved, light up the sun and moon, the holy sect ascends to the heavens, daring to change the face of the sun and moon.” Bang, bang, the two burly men suddenly slumped to the ground. Lin Feng waved his hand, “Only these two are guarding here! Let’s go!” They quickly changed into the guards’ uniforms and moved towards the exit. After navigating through numerous turns and walking for a long time, they finally reached the basement exit, knocked out two more guards, and successfully emerged above ground. The moonlight was now brighter, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. They had escaped from an unremarkable small house.
Lin Feng’s first instinct was to run to an open area and survey the surroundings, eager to spot the place where the Moon Dew Terrace would appear. “Is this really the place? You know this place, Brother Qin! If I’m not mistaken, this is the renowned Jade Mountain Lan Family’s exclusive Luo Yuan Xiao Zhu!” “This is Luo Yuan Xiao Zhu? It must be; this is the back mountain cliff, and on the other side of the mountain ridge is definitely the Lan Family’s headquarters.” “Brother Qin, don’t worry about that now; let me take you to a good place!” Lin Feng glanced at the bright light on the mountain peak. “The Moon Dew Jade Terrace, huh, what a magnificent place, the Lan Family indeed has such a divine spot. Now Brother Qin’s injuries can be healed, and maybe after absorbing the essence of the Moon Dew Jade, you could cultivate your innate soul force again, saving you from death.”
With Qin Jian on his back, Lin Feng took a deep breath, activated his swift footwork, and dashed towards the most conspicuous light on the mountain peak. Luo Yuan Xiao Zhu was relatively low in altitude compared to other peaks of Yushan. With Lin Feng’s full speed, they soon reached the summit. Thanks to the wealth and influence of the Lan Family, the seemingly rugged mountain peak had been developed with many stone paths and even spacious platforms for resting. Tonight was a full moon night, and when the moon reached its zenith, it would be the golden time for the Moon Dew Terrace to shine most brilliantly. “Hey, Brother Qin, let me take you to a good place.” Lin Feng, carrying Qin Jian, plunged into the most striking spot of moonlight. “Brother Qin, sit inside and give it a try!” Qin Jian, recognizing the value, stepped in without further ado, sitting in the mystical circle of light. After settling Qin Jian, Lin Feng carefully stepped out, checked the surroundings for any stragglers from the Sheng Yang Sect, and returned to find Qin Jian already meditating in the brightest spot of the Moon Dew Terrace, his complexion slightly improved. Lin Feng, growing more excited, found a less intense area of light to sit in for meditation, keeping his spiritual awareness at its peak to monitor any disturbances around.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Feng’s ears twitched. He opened his eyes wide, rushed to the edge of the cliff, and instinctively peered down. Below, the laughter and chatter of young men and women could be heard. Normally, this wouldn’t be strange since the other side of the mountain was the Lan Family’s headquarters, but the wind carried the sound, and among the noise, Lin Feng picked up several very familiar voices. His eyelid twitched violently. The group below was actually his classmates and teachers, including Sun Dasheng and Zhu Tingting. He rushed down the mountain towards the gathering.
