Lin Huang took the elevator to the 81st floor and walked along the corridor on the right. He stood in front of Room 023 and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened. It was a familiar face to Lin Huang — Hong Zhuang.
Hong Zhuang had short hair that reached her chin. Her bangs hung low above her eyebrows. She did not have many accessories on her face, but she looked like she was in her twenties at most. She was at least five years younger than when Lin Huang first met her.
She was dressed casually in a white shirt and a pair of blue and white jeans. The bottom of her pants was rolled up, revealing her fair ankles. She was also wearing a pair of blue and white sneakers.
Even Lin Huang suspected if she was Hong Zhuang when he first saw her.
However, it was obvious that Hong Zhuang did not recognize him.
"Are you the client that Yang Ling was talking about? I'm Yang Ling's friend. Come on in, "Hong Zhuang greeted him warmly.
Lin Huang snapped back to his senses and said, "I can't believe this guy found himself such a beautiful girlfriend."
Hong Zhuang smiled but did not reply. "Yang Ling has something to do in the study. Take a seat. What would you like to drink?"
"Tea will do, thanks," Lin Huang said and sat on the couch.
Soon, Hong Zhuang brought a cup of tea over. Lin Huang took it and placed it on the coffee table.
He dared not drink Hong Zhuang's tea. Who knew if she would do something to it?
"Do you guys mind if I look around?"
"That's fine. Do as you please." Hong Zhuang nodded and smiled kindly.
'This woman's acting is Oscar -level,' Lin Huang thought to himself. He stood up and walked to the balcony outside the living room.
The open-air balcony was huge. It was at least 15 meters long and three meters wide. There were two outdoor lounge chairs and a coffee table on the left side of the balcony. There was also a huge umbrella and a swing on the right side.
Lin Huang stood on the balcony and looked around. He had a panoramic view of the scenery for dozens of kilometers around him. Further away, there were tall buildings.
Only then did he remember that the hotel was not located in the center of the foothold, but more than a hundred kilometers west of the center.
Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance for a while, Yang Ling had finished her work and returned to the living room.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Lin Huang on the balcony, he walked over.
"The scenery is not bad, but the location of the hotel is a little remote." Lin Huang turned his head and smiled at Yang Ling.
Yang Ling was still dressed very neatly. She wore a white shirt, a pair of blue and black casual trousers, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes.
His hair was also shaved short, only reaching his earlobes, and he had a hairstyle that looked very serious.
If Lin Huang had not seen how he used to look like, it would be hard for him to imagine how sloppy and lazy this guy used to be.
"Hong Zhuang doesn't like crowded places." Yang Ling walked next to Lin Huang and looked into the distance.
"How far are you guys now?" Lin Huang asked while smiling.
"She rejected my proposal." Yang Ling shook her head and forced a smile. "We're friends at most now."
"What did she say?" Although he expected it, Lin Huang wanted to know how Hong Zhuang dealt with him.
"She said that she's not a good woman and she's not suitable for me. She also said that she got close to me because she wanted me to help her find someone. "
"Who is she looking for? Is it convenient for you to tell me? "Lin Huang asked.
Yang Ling peeped at Lin Huang and took out a pack of cigarettes. She popped one into her mouth. "I'm looking for her brother."
Lin Huang raised his brow when he heard that. He recalled Hong Zhuang mentioning her brother back then, but he thought it was just a story that she made up. Now, it seemed like it might be true.
"So … Did you find him?"
"No. If I did, we wouldn't have to come to Bronze Crow City." Yang Ling shook her head.
"Is there a clue about her brother here?"
"There's no clue. However, there's something here that might help her find her brother, "Yang Ling said and added," I can't tell you exactly what it is. "
"Alright then." Lin Huang did not ask further.
"Did you bring everything?" Yang Ling changed the topic.
"Yes," Lin Huang said and took out the temporary storage ring that he had prepared. All the storage equipment that he had obtained recently that he had yet to unlock were in the ring, including the Emperor's Heart Ring from the gravel world and all sorts of encrypted storage equipment from the great world and other mini worlds.
"Are they all in there?" Yang Ling took the temporary storage ring.
"They're all in there." Lin Huang nodded.
Yang Ling could not help but raise her brow after a simple check. "That's quite a lot."
"There's a total of 413628 pieces, and there are a total of 827 types of storage equipment." Lin Huang reported the data. Naturally, he did not come up with the data himself. Instead, it was Bloody who did it for him.
"That's a good count." Yang Ling smiled and said in all seriousness, "There's something that I have to tell you first. At least half of your storage equipment is old. Some of them are even antiques that are more than a million years old. Even if they can be opened, I don't think there's anything useful in them. However, I'll definitely charge the decryption price based on the number of items and types. The most I'll charge is no commission if the things inside can't be used. Of course, I can give you a 20% discount for the number of items you have. After all, you're an old customer. "
"No problem." Lin Huang nodded to show that he understood, but he then raised his doubts. "But I have a question. How can you tell that these storage equipment from the great world and other mini worlds are old? You can even tell that some of the models are more than a million years old? "
"Well …" Yang Ling rolled her eyes and said while smiling, "Of course, I have my ways."
Yang Ling's evasive answer made Lin Huang think that she might have been to other mini worlds or even the great world. However, it was meaningless for him to continue asking since Yang Ling was unwilling to tell him.
"How long will it take?"
"Just a few days. I'll try my best to get it done."
"Alright then, I'll leave after you're done."
Initially, Lin Huang thought that he could return to Wanbao City to visualize his True Spirit in a cultivation room if Yang Ling needed some time to get it done. He would get the items from him when he was done visualizing the last three God Figurine's Combat Souls. However, now that he said it would be done in a few days, Lin Huang thought he might as well stay for a few more days and leave after Yang Ling was done with the unlocking.
"Just treat it as a holiday and have fun for a few days," Yang Ling said while smiling, "I'll inform you as soon as it's done."
"Sure." Lin Huang nodded in a straightforward manner. "I won't disturb you guys anymore then."
Lin Huang turned around and walked to the living room after patting Yang Ling's shoulder. Just when he was almost at the door, Yang Ling's voice came from behind all of a sudden.
"Bronze Crow City might not be too peaceful these days. Be careful."
Lin Huang stopped walking when he heard that. He thought about Hong Zhuang and the Purple Crow again.
Hong Zhuang happened to walk out of the bedroom at that moment. Seeing that Lin Huang was leaving, she said while smiling, "You're leaving? Be careful on the way. "
Her tone was so gentle that she sounded like someone else.
Lin Huang turned his head to look at her. He could not see anything from her face, so he nodded while smiling. "I will."
He then opened the door and left.
