In the dusky sunset, an airplane landed at the Huaxia Capital International Airport.
A few minutes later, Lin Fei and Leng Ying, wearing sunglasses, walked out from the airport's exit passage.
At the gate, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and large eyes was watching the passengers coming out of the airport passage.
When he saw Leng Ying, his face broke into a smile, and he waved, calling out: "Leng Ying!"
Leng Ying saw him too and raised his hand to wave back.
Leng Ying said quietly to Lin Fei: "He is the Hall Master of the Cloud Pavilion's branch in the Capital City, named Zhan Mu."
Lin Fei nodded.
After exiting the gate, Zhan Mu looked at Lin Fei and asked Leng Ying: "Leng Ying, is this Mr. Lin?"
Leng Ying nodded: "That's right."
Zhan Mu immediately greeted Lin Fei with respect: "Hello, Mr. Lin! Elder Yun from Huannan Province informed me that you would arrive in the Capital City today, and I am here to pick you up."
Then, Zhan Mu signaled to two men in suits behind him.
The two men in suits immediately stepped forward to take the luggage from Lin Fei and Leng Ying's hands.
"Mr. Zhan, thank you for the trouble," Lin Fei said to the Hall Master of the Cloud Pavilion's Capital branch.
"Mr. Lin, this is what we should do." Zhan Mu quickly replied.
Lin Fei was newly appointed as an elder in the Cloud Pavilion, and it was repeatedly emphasized by the elders in the Capital Division that Zhan Mu should receive him well.
Zhan Mu dared not slack off in the slightest.
The four of them exited the terminal building and got into a luxurious Mercedes, driving away.
The Mercedes headed toward the city center of Capital City, a national political, economic, and cultural hub with tens of millions of residents. In this international metropolis, you can see skyscrapers and bustling traffic, a lively and prosperous scene.
An hour later, the Mercedes arrived at a villa compound in the city.
Although the city is bustling and prosperous, the villa situated in an upscale residential area is quite tranquil, with even birds chirping among the lush trees.
It seems isolated from the noisy world outside, creating a serene and unique environment.
After the car stopped, two bodyguards in the courtyard immediately stepped forward to open the car door.
Lin Fei, Leng Ying, and Zhan Mu got out of the car.
"Elder Lin, this is the residence arranged for you by the Cloud Pavilion in the Capital City. Are you satisfied with it?" Zhan Mu asked Lin Fei.
Since they were already at the villa, and there were no outsiders, Zhan Mu referred to Lin Fei as Elder Lin.
Lin Fei was quite satisfied with this tranquil villa.
He nodded to Zhan Mu: "Hmm, this villa is nice."
Seeing that Lin Fei had no objections, Zhan Mu visibly relaxed, seemingly very concerned that Lin Fei might be dissatisfied.
"Elder Lin, please come inside and have a seat!" Zhan Mu offered politely with a gesture.
The group entered the villa.
Lin Fei, Leng Ying, and Zhan Mu sat down on the sofa.
The two men in suits took Lin Fei's luggage upstairs to the prepared bedrooms for Lin Fei and Leng Ying.
Zhan Mu prepared tea for Lin Fei and Leng Ying.
"Elder Lin, if you need help from the Cloud Pavilion while you're in the Capital City, feel free to reach out to us. We will do our utmost to assist you, Elder Lin," Zhan Mu said to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei replied: "Hmm, if I need something, I will get in touch with you."
"Zhan Mu, Elder Lin has just arrived in the Capital City and needs to rest for a couple of days. If you have things to do, go ahead, don't feel you need to stay here with us," Leng Ying, seeing Zhan Mu's respectful demeanor, reminded him.
It was clear that the two were old acquaintances and seemed to be on good terms.
Lin Fei also spoke to the somewhat hesitant Zhan Mu: "Leng Ying is right. Hall Master Zhan, if you have matters to attend to, please go ahead! There's nothing here for you to do at the moment."
Zhan Mu didn't expect this newly appointed Cloud Pavilion elder to be so approachable and easy to talk to.
This made him feel an immediate affinity toward Lin Fei.
"Then, Elder Lin, I will go get busy. This is my business card; you can call me if you need anything." Zhan Mu respectfully placed his business card on the table in front of Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded: "Don't worry! I'll reach out if something comes up."
Zhan Mu then left with the two men in suits after saying goodbye.
Since he had arrived in the Capital City, Lin Fei naturally wanted to first know about his elder sister's safety.
Lin Fei took out his phone, mentally prepared to be scolded, and dialed his sister's phone number.
After a few rings, the call was answered, but the voice that came through wasn't his sister's; it was a somewhat stern voice of a middle-aged man: "Are you Lin Fei? I am Miss's bodyguard, Qiansong En."
Lin Fei was taken aback. He recalled that in their last phone call a few days ago, his sister indeed mentioned that if something happened, someone named Qiansong En would contact him.
Could his sister be in trouble?
Lin Fei's heart filled with a sense of foreboding.
"Qiansong En, I've heard about you from my sister. Can you let my sister take the call?" Lin Fei pressed down his worries and asked.
However, Qiansong En's response shattered his hopes: "Lin Fei, I'm sorry, the Miss has had an incident and can't talk to you."
Lin Fei's expression changed, and he immediately asked: "Quick, tell me what happened to my sister?"
"Lin Fei, you have arrived in the Capital City, haven't you? The Miss told me even though she forbade you from coming, she knew you would come here for her at any cost," Qiansong En said.
"So, if you've arrived in the Capital City, I'll come over and tell you everything that's happened."
Indeed, talking over the phone wasn't convenient, and Lin Fei was eager to hear about his sister's situation directly from Qiansong En.
"Qiansong En, I'm indeed in the Capital City. Please wait; I'll ask my friend for this address." Lin Fei said, looking at Leng Ying.
Leng Ying promptly told Lin Fei the address.
Lin Fei then relayed the address to Qiansong En on the phone.
"Lin Fei, your location isn't far from me. I'll be there in half an hour. See you soon," said Qiansong En before hanging up.
Lin Fei hung up the phone and said to Leng Ying: "My sister is in trouble."
Leng Ying said: "I vaguely heard that from your conversation."
For the first time, Lin Fei felt anxious and unsettled.
He couldn't envision the impact on him if something happened to his sister.
His usual calmness was lost, replaced by extreme unease, because Qian Songyixue was the most important woman in his heart.
Growing up together, learning medicine and practicing martial arts side by side, the feelings had developed over time, and she was deeply imprinted in his heart.
It was as if she had taken root.
So, upon hearing about his sister's trouble, Lin Fei became exceptionally frantic and agitated, like an ant on a hot pan.
Half an hour felt like a century to Lin Fei.
Finally, the sound of the doorbell came: "Ding dong!"
Lin Fei immediately walked out of the villa and saw a middle-aged man in a suit enter the courtyard, with a calm demeanor and steady gaze, sporting a small mustache on his upper lip.
"Lin Fei, I am Qiansong En." The mustached middle-aged man looked at Lin Fei and introduced himself.
"Mr. Qiansong, please come inside to talk." Lin Fei immediately said to Qiansong En.
