Chapter 248: I just don't want to be near you!

Feng Yulin saw him back away. He stood still in place, eyes showing a smile. "Why are you hiding?"

"Who is hiding? I just don't want to be close to you." Ling Jue looked at him with disdain. If she walked with him, others would say how she and he were together.

'I don't know how the world can have so many open-minded people.'

"Walk quickly. The sky is going to be dark." Feng Yulin saw that he really was avoiding his appearance, and his voice also cooled down.

He was already very tolerant of this kid.

If it was Yilie, he would have taught him a lesson a long time ago.

Ling Jue pursed her lips and followed behind him. Seriously, he still acted like he was the boss even though he was begging for help.

Even though she was thinking about it, Ling Jue still quickened her pace.

The two of them entered a small alley in a short while. The surroundings were houses made of green rocks, and the ground was covered in marble.

They passed through the small alley and were surrounded by old people.

Feng Yulin walked in front without stopping.

Ling Jue followed him, but Tang Yuan wanted to go home. It lay on Ling Jue's shoulder with a lifeless face. It was so boring. How much longer did they have to walk? Tang Yuan was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, Feng Yulin stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

He knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

Some time ago, his men found this place. They said that the old man inside knew that the thing had appeared before and had seen it with his own eyes, so he wanted to ask for more details.

This was also the reason why he was here this time.

Ling Jue crossed her arms as she watched, waiting for the door to open. She turned to look at Feng Yulin and saw that he had a stern look on his face. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Ling jue raised her eyebrows, trying to hide her thoughts.

"You're here." At that moment, an old woman opened the door.

"Hey, it's you guys? Come in and have a seat!" The one who opened the door was the old lady that they had helped. When she saw the two of them, she smiled and welcomed them into the room. "Come in quickly. How did you know that my family lives here? Did you ask the old man and old lady outside?"

Ling Jue looked at Feng Yulin with a confused expression. You're looking for this person?

Feng Yulin was also surprised, but he recovered quickly. He nodded at the old woman and said, "Thank you."

The two of them stepped into the courtyard, and what greeted them were many stone sculptures. The marble sculptures were vivid and lifelike.

"Sit down, sit down!" The old lady placed the stool beside the table and smiled with wrinkles all over her face. "I didn't expect you two young men to come so soon."

Feng Yulin looked at the surrounding buildings. It was a small courtyard, most likely filled with stone sculptures. He did not find what he wanted, so he asked, "Is this Elder Shi Rong's house?"

The old lady was pouring water for them. She was surprised when she heard Feng Yulin ask her about old man. "You know my old man?"

"He's your husband?" Feng Yulin was surprised. Why had no one told him about this before?

His men did not see this old woman when they came last time.

"We got divorced." The old lady chuckled, her smile bitter. "I only came back after he fell."

Ling Jue's eyes flashed. She divorced her husband, but she came back to take care of her husband when he was sick. Was there such a thing in this world?

"Sigh, that old man is too stubborn. He has always only liked his stone sculptures. I was given to him by his mother. When I was young, I could still speak to him. Now that I'm older, his heart is only filled with stone sculptures. We divorced at fifty. Now, we've been divorced for ten years..."
