Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

"Huh—!"

Zhou Mei caught the flying object and, upon closer inspection, realized it was the jade pendant that Wu Chengxuan had given to Jiang Ruyi.

"How could it be this jade pendant? Why didn't he take it with him?"

"Where to take it?"

From the moment Ling Feng heard that crisp sound, he already knew what was flying towards him.

Since there was no danger, he simply stood quietly beside Zhou Mei without reaching out to take it.

Therefore, his tone was quite calm when he spoke.

"This was specially left for you by Wu Chengxuan, as a way to make up for one of his unfulfilled wishes."

After all, more than a hundred years ago, he never managed to personally hand over this token of their love.

Delivering it to Jiang Ruyi was the greatest regret of his life.

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Mei held the warm jade pendant, her heart filled with emotion.

"So...should I keep it?"

"Are you stupid? He's prone to acting crazy, are you as brainless as him?"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes at Zhou Mei and flicked her forehead.

"This thing was carried by a ghost general for over a hundred years."

The interior is filled with resentment and malevolent energy, and you still want to keep it?

"Go ahead and keep it if you're not afraid of dying! I guarantee you won't make a sound once you put it on."

"Ah..." Zhou Mei was so startled by these words that she almost dropped the jade pendant.

That's absolutely terrifying! What does "not making a sound" mean? Does it mean that if you wear it for too long, you'll suddenly die?

"Then... what should we do with this thing? We can't just throw it away somewhere, can we?"

"Let's stay here!" Ling Feng observed the surroundings and pointed to the ancient tree in the courtyard.

"Bury it under the tree roots! After all, it was someone else's token of love."

Placing it in the Jiang family's former residence can be seen as a return to one's roots, finally settling this century-old unresolved, unfulfilled love.

Zhou Mei looked in the direction Ling Feng pointed, then glanced down at the jade pendant in her palm.

He then nodded solemnly; this was indeed the best way to handle the jade pendant.

This ancient tree has stood in the ruins of the Jiang family's old house for who knows how many years, and it has grown lush and verdant!

It not only personally witnessed the prosperity and prestige of the Jiang family compound in its heyday.

They also silently witnessed the ill-fated romance between the poor scholar and the rich heiress.

Now, placing the jade pendant under its roots is considered a perfect ending to the whole affair.

Zhou Mei carefully held the jade pendant and gently placed it into the mud pit that Ling Feng had dug.

They then covered it with handfuls of soil, completely burying this heartbreaking love story.

……

"Who is it?"

Just as Zhou Mei patted the dirt off her hands and prepared to get up,

A slight commotion nearby alerted Ling Feng.

Zhou Mei shuddered and jumped into Ling Feng's arms with practiced ease.

"W-what's wrong, Brother Feng? Has something else appeared again?"

Ling Feng, with his arms around Zhou Mei, ignored her question and stared straight into the depths of the dense forest.

"Stop hiding, come out right now... Don't force me to use force!"

Ling Feng's right hand crackled with silver-blue lightning, standing out brightly in the pitch-black night.

Just as he was about to throw the lightning ball in his hand, there was movement again deep in the forest!

"etc……"

"Don't make a move yet!"

As the sound rang out, the commotion in the dense forest grew louder and louder.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, the people hiding inside...

He even kept shouting, "Calm down..."

"We're all on the same side!"

"Don't act impulsively..."

……

Ling Feng's right palm still held the constantly leaping silver-blue lightning, remaining on guard at all times.

His left hand firmly protected Zhou Mei in his arms, his eyes flashing with cold light.

He kept a close watch on the dark forest, ready to pounce at the slightest sign of trouble.

He would not hesitate to strike the ball of lightning that he had condensed in his hand.

Then they will face his fierce and relentless attacks.

……

After a rustling sound in the dense woods,

Two figures of different heights finally emerged from the dense shadows of the trees.

He was also wearing a dark black coat to conceal his figure at night.

He raised his hands high, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face.

The tall man at the front kept waving his arms to indicate that he meant no harm.

"Don't do it!"

"We are human beings, not ghosts..."

"This is all a misunderstanding!"

……

Zhou Mei obediently buried her head in Ling Feng's arms, and upon hearing the increasingly close shouts of the approaching person...

She quietly turned her head to look him over, then gently tugged at Ling Feng's collar and whispered:

"Brother Feng...they should be human, right?"

"Yes, she is indeed a person!" Ling Feng whispered, biting her ear.

"But the human heart is sometimes harder to guard against than those vengeful ghosts."

After speaking, he withdrew some of the lightning from his palm, but he was still poised to strike.

As the distance between them drew closer, Ling Feng finally saw who it was.

He seems... he should know this person, right? Like when he was arrested by the police yesterday.

Similarly, the tall man in the lead had the same expression, clearly recognizing Ling Feng as well.

His hands, which had been raised high, were lowered with an embarrassed smile, his expression one of extreme awkwardness.

"Ling...Ling Feng, how...how could it be you? Then...what are you doing here?"

Ling Feng looked at Qian Dazhuang's fawning expression, still struggling with his name:

"You...you weren't the one who was with Captain Jiang yesterday, the one named Qian...what was it again?"

"Dazhuang, my name is Qian Dazhuang!" Qian Dazhuang walked up quickly with a big smile on his face.

He then introduced himself again with a smile, while taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it for Ling Feng.

That enthusiasm made Ling Feng feel uncomfortable, after all, this guy was from the Special Affairs Bureau.

However, he felt embarrassed to refuse the other person's request on the spot, so he politely accepted it.

"Big...Big Strong, Brother Big Strong truly lives up to his name! He's so big and strong!"

"Ha ha……"

Qian Dazhuang felt somewhat embarrassed by Ling Feng's teasing about his name.

But what can you do when someone is an S-rank powerhouse? Whatever a powerhouse says is right.

Especially since he's a mage who controls lightning! He's really not someone to mess with!

He could only awkwardly scratch the back of his head and chuckle dryly.

"That...the name my parents gave me, I never thought about it before...it's something I've come up with since I grew up."

My physique has become so exaggerated! Even my dad said the name was absolutely right.

The two of them smoked and chatted awkwardly, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
