True Solution of the Sword Dao
Chapter 121 - 121 115 Chase 2
Chapter 121: Chapter 115 Chase 2 Chapter 121: Chapter 115 Chase 2 “Let’s go, let’s go, she doesn’t like being with us,” another pretty girl said, pulling the previous girl away.
“Exactly, she’s like…..” The three girls walked farther and farther away, their voices becoming less clear.
“Zhou Tingting, oh Zhou Tingting, you failed to seize the opportunity last time, you absolutely mustn’t miss it again!” she clenched the flyer in her hand. She could no longer remember how many she visited. Anyway, she had been searching everywhere for these training classes, having observed dozens of them, both local and from afar. Yet none gave her the feeling she had when she looked up at that sword-bearing youth under the staircase, that bone-chilling murderous intent that shook her to the core.
“Ah, why did I forget to get his contact information?” Zhou Tingting sighed. She felt that it was the most significant oversight in her life. It was an opportunity that could have changed her entire life! If only she had thought of that then, she wouldn’t be in such pain, searching from one place to another.
She didn’t want to continue living an ordinary life forever. Even if her life couldn’t be like the protagonists in anime, at the very least, it should reach the level of a main supporting character, making her existence in this world worthwhile.

Lin Fei gently placed the longsword on the rack at the side of the room. It was a standard longsword, not a ring, as ring-like swords naturally couldn’t be casually taken out. Yuan Yonglong and others were not ignorant ordinary people.
This was the reception room. In the middle of the room stood a coffee table, flanked by brown leather sofas.
A bespectacled, refined middle-aged man sat steadily on the sofa, occasionally adjusting his glasses with his index finger.
“I presume you are Feng Yuanshu?” asked Lin Fei, although he already knew the answer.
“Younger than I expected. However, as per the president’s request and orders, I am willing to offer my services,” said Feng Yuanshu, unaware that Lin Fei was the president. This man gave off an ominous first impression. Perhaps it was because he was always behind the scenes, orchestrating plans; he seemed not adept at disguising himself in front of others.
“Actually, there’s nothing troublesome, just help me manage a new company under my control. Support is available from all sides, you just need to coordinate in the middle,” Lin Fei stated plainly.
“Such a task is straightforward, but aren’t you afraid I might take the money and run?” Feng Yuanshu was somewhat interested in this young man who spoke maturely beyond his years.
“You can try,” Lin Fei said coolly.
He had the confidence now. As a regional sub-president, he could mobilize substantial resources. With the support of Elder Zhao and Elder Fei, among other senior members, his influence was deeply entrenched in both the legal and underground worlds.
Feng Yuanshu was startled, immediately realizing that this so-called profligate young master was not a simple character. He shelved a trace of contempt in his heart.
“Since I don’t need to participate in operations, just manage a small company, I wouldn’t want to give up such an easy job. I’ll take on this task.”
“Then that’s settled.” Lin Fei nodded, opened the door, and walked out.

“Huff… huff…” Wang Chunli gasped for air, running forward through the crowd while supporting Chen Jing.
“My… stomach hurts…” Chen Jing’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Running around right after surgery was naturally causing adverse reactions.
Wang Chunli quickly set Chen Jing on the ground.
“I can’t do this, I just had surgery,” Chen Jing said, clutching her stomach.
Wang Chunli bit her lip, crouched down, and just as she was about to speak, her gaze swept to the right side of the crowd. Between countless shoes of varied styles, a pair of red boots slowly approached them.
A deep fear surfaced in her eyes.
“Red boots, she’s coming again!” she said with a trembling voice.
Chen Jing followed her gaze and also saw the red boots getting closer, exactly in the direction they were planning to go.
Both felt an increasing sense of fear, as if there were no places left to hide.
“Let’s go!” Wang Chunli suddenly picked up Chen Jing.
“We are near my brother’s master’s place! Let’s go there!!” Chen Jing instructed hurriedly, curling up in Wang Chunli’s arms. She knew there was no time for dawdling. Distant water won’t quench immediate thirst.
Realizing the urgency, Wang Chunli, whose escape route was completely blocked by the red boots, held Chen Jing without choosing a path, and turned in the direction she indicated and ran.
“Its true form has appeared, as long as we get to someone powerful in reality, we’ll temporarily be out of danger,” Chen Jing thought more clearly as panic roiled inside her.
As they ran, Wang Chunli breathed hastily, nodded without a word, and followed Chen Jing’s directions, running as hard as she could.

Swordsmanship Club
Special Sword Room
In the darkness, Lin Fei stood quietly in the middle of the room, both hands holding a longsword, her eyes tightly closed.
This sword room was specially constructed by Lin Fei to be fully soundproof. Thick curtains shrouded the entire room tightly, not a sliver of light penetrated from the windows.
Generally, after practicing sword moves, Lin Fei would come here to engage in visualization and practice the Yan Shi Sword Technique. These were parts that needed to be kept strictly confidential. Moreover, they demanded a high mental concentration.
Faintly, as time passed.
In a realm of utter darkness.
Wisps of pale blue smoke slowly seeped out around Lin Fei. These streams of smoke continuously emanated from her body, bringing with them a faint blue glow that was particularly noticeable in the darkness.
If this were in the outside world, such a scene would be hard to detect. The various lights outside would completely cover up these bits of blue smoke.
But in the environment Lin Fei deliberately created, these anomalies were quite distinct.
This was the practice of the Sword Eye.
The strongest mystery of Yan Shi! Also, the strongest legacy of the Flying Swallow Clan!

“It’s close… it’s that building!” Chen Jing pointed at the nearby Swordsmanship Club building and urgently said.
Wang Chunli was drenched in sweat, her clothes almost soaked through with cold sweat. She nearly collapsed as she looked ahead at the building, the robust and powerful characters of Swordsmanship Club providing her with a slight sense of security.
A faint white mist enveloped the two women, and there were very few pedestrians around.
Wang Chunli couldn’t think much, as crisp sounds of boots on the ground came from behind again.
“It’s on the second floor of this building!” Chen Jing endured the pain and said.
The two staggered into the building.
The lobby on the first floor was empty. There was only silence. Wang Chunli had a bad feeling about this.
“Hurry up to the second floor!” Chen Jing had great confidence in Yuan Yonglong; she had personally seen Yuan Yonglong’s master perform sword moves. She believed that the red boots would absolutely not stand a chance against such dream-like power.

“I want to register for a visitor’s badge,” Zhou Ting called out loudly at the reception.
“For visiting, please carry this badge. If you want to register as a student, please go to the training office on the second floor on the right, the room has a sign on the door,” the receptionist girl said with a smile.
“Okay,” Zhou Ting pinched the leaflet, took the visitor’s badge from the receptionist girl, and hung it around her neck.
Suddenly, Zhou Ting seemed to hear a series of hurried footsteps behind her. She turned her head to look, but there was nothing there.
“An illusion?” she murmured to herself, puzzled.
Second floor, Great Sword Room
Yuan Yonglong stood in the corridor and solemnly said to his two disciples.
“You two stay and handle the training of the members here; I’ll go to the hospital to see the situation. It’s our first day of work; we can’t have any problems.”
“Okay,” the two disciples were tasked with simple swordsmanship training duties. They took responsibility for demonstrating swordsmanship to new members and visitors. This job was equally important to them as both came from poor families and greatly valued this employment. Although they were also concerned about Chen Wu’s sister, they couldn’t abandon their duties here.
**********
Wang Chunli supported Chen Jing, feeling extremely heavy. She climbed up to the second floor using the staircase, the massive energy expenditure causing her to be severely dehydrated, her body already feeling slightly dizzy.
Chen Jing was not much better off, the pain in her lower abdomen constant, and the jolt of climbing the stairs nearly caused her to faint.
But to their disappointment, the second floor was deserted. The empty corridor was devoid of any signs of life.
“How can this be!!” Chen Jing looked in disbelief at the empty corridor. “There should be many people here today! Xiao Wu mentioned that today was the official opening!”
The fog around them grew thicker, and faintly, a series of crisp footsteps accompanied by a slight laughter echoed from behind once again.
