Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Went Too Far_1
Thinking of this, Liu Ruomei shouted apologetically, "Chen Junheng, I’m sorry! That time on Xijingshan was a misunderstanding, but why did you hide your strength from me? Why didn’t you show your true self?"
Everyone was stunned. Is Liu Ruomei trying to win him back? they wondered. But how could that be possible now?
What was lost was lost, never to be regained.
Many wonderful people or things, if not cherished in the moment, are truly lost forever.
"Sigh..." Liu Ruolan also sighed, her face filled with regret.
How wonderful would it have been if Liu Ruomei had cherished this relationship? she thought. With such a terrifyingly powerful person on their side, who would dare bully the Liu Family? Even Zhang Bin’s company could have expanded without restraint instead of having to walk on thin ice as it did now.
Only Zhang Bin thought differently. Liu Ruomei isn’t trying to mend things, he realized. She’s accusing me of being secretive and evasive, of not living up to her expectations. If the Special Action Team hadn’t interfered, he might have slowly changed her opinion of him and even won her over. But now, the chances of that were so slim as to be negligible.
He turned, a look of regret on his face. "It seems our personalities aren’t a good match. Goodbye."
Of course, I haven’t really given up,
he thought. I still have to save my sister-in-law. But for now, he had to make everyone believe that the Rabbit King was not interested in Liu Ruomei and would have nothing more to do with her. This would keep her from getting drawn into his troubles.With a light gesture, the easel slowly floated into his hand. He removed the painting and rolled it into a cylinder. He then stored the easel in his Space Ring, while the painting itself drifted gently over to land in Liu Ruomei’s hands.
To everyone watching, the easel had simply vanished into thin air, as if it had never been there at all.
My God, these are immortal arts! most people exclaimed in their hearts, utterly shocked.
On the streets below, crowds had gathered, shouting in a frenzy.
"Look! An Immortal! An Immortal has descended to the mortal world!"
"Immortal, please accept me as your disciple!"
"Immortal Master, I want to have your babies!"
"..."
The atmosphere was electric. Some people were even recording on their phones, trembling with excitement.
Liu Ruomei, who was quite thick-skinned, shouted with a hopeful expression, "Chen Junheng, I was wrong before! I’m starting to like you a little now. Will you still contact me?"
In that instant, memories of all his past kindnesses flooded her mind: helping her deal with the Diao Clan, making the little turtle jump into her palm at East Lake Lakeside, bravely fending off the six burly men...
"Forget me, woman," Zhang Bin said. He turned away, his speed suddenly increasing as he gradually walked into the mist.
"Chen Junheng, who are you really? Don’t go!" Zhao Dawei yelled, finally snapping out of his daze in a panic.
"Helicopters! All of them! After him!" Luo Chengliang roared, even more direct.
The helicopters had not gone far, having landed on the outskirts of the county. Now, receiving the order, they scrambled into the air, pursuing him like streaks of lightning.
Unfortunately, Zhang Bin was too fast, his speed easily rivaling that of the helicopters. Like a phantom, he swiftly disappeared over the horizon in the direction of Great Green Mountain.
He had to move so quickly. Although his special ability had improved dramatically after a month of hard training, allowing him to lift ninety kilograms, he couldn’t sustain it for long. If he didn’t escape at top speed, he would have to land on the ground. Then, he would likely be surrounded and captured by the members of the Special Action Team. That would be taking the theatrics too far.
And so, after chasing for over an hour, the helicopters still couldn’t find any trace of Zhang Bin.
However, Zhang Bin had played his hand too boldly this time. The incident had even alarmed Master Tianlong, who flew directly from the Capital City on his sword, grabbed Zhao Dawei, and sped off toward Great Green Mountain. He was astonished that someone could fly without the aid of any Magical Treasures and felt he had to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"It’s another Immortal! Flying on a sword, and he’s carrying someone!" many in the crowd shouted, their faces alight with fervent excitement.
"Let’s go, let’s head back," Liu Ruolan said, pulling Liu Ruomei toward the stairs.
The members of the Special Action Team had already departed, all scrambling to pursue Zhang Bin.
"Sister, I never dreamed Chen Junheng could be so incredible! I almost think he really is an Immortal!" Liu Ruomei said, not the least bit discouraged. On the contrary, she was excited and full of enthusiasm.
"What good does realizing that do now? He’s not going to contact you again. You’ve lost your chance," Liu Ruolan said, her tone one of tough love.
"That’s not necessarily true," Liu Ruomei said with total confidence. "I have a feeling he’ll definitely come looking for me."
"Alright then, you just wait for him to come find you," Liu Ruolan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Inwardly, however, she let out a sigh of relief. Her biggest fear had been that Liu Ruomei would be overwhelmed with regret and fall into a slump. It now seemed her worries were completely unfounded. Liu Ruomei was a carefree woman who didn’t seem to know the meaning of regret.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
High above Great Green Mountain, Master Tianlong flew on his sword with Zhao Dawei in tow. He rapidly swept the area with his Divine Sense, searching and sensing carefully for any trace of the Rabbit King. Unfortunately, he found nothing.
He was forced to land atop a large mountain, panting heavily. Flying while carrying another person was not so simple; even for him, it was somewhat strenuous.
"Tell me what happened," Master Tianlong said.
Zhao Dawei quickly recounted the entire incident.
"You didn’t sense any True Qi fluctuations from him?" Master Tianlong asked, his brow furrowed.
"None at all. That’s why we assumed he was an ordinary person, whose only special ability was controlling computers. Who would have known he was so incredible? He has not only mastered amazing chess skills but also possesses sophisticated painting and calligraphy techniques. He’s even the world’s number one hacker! But the most terrifying thing is that he can actually fly! Could he be a rejuvenated Nascent Soul Old Monster?" As he spoke, Zhao Dawei’s eyes burned with a fiery light.
"He is likely an S-Class Ability User or an SS-level Psychic," Master Tianlong said. "His special ability is Telekinesis, which he’s using to lift himself."
"A Superpower User with Telekinesis? He can lift himself with it? But he’s so young... how is that possible?" Zhao Dawei said, stunned.
Superpower Users must train for years on end to raise their level. That’s why most SS-level Psychics are quite old.
"He may be the most talented Superpower User in existence," Master Tianlong said gravely. "If he continues to train diligently, he could one day become an SSS-level Psychic, a strategic deterrent on par with a nuclear weapon. We must find him. He is of the utmost importance to the nation."
