His heart was in turmoil, but he remained outwardly calm, though his clenched fists betrayed his inner turmoil.
However, he ultimately chose to retreat in order to advance, laughing heartily in an attempt to ease the tension:
"Young friend, you are truly generous. Aren't you afraid I will keep this treasure for myself?"
Xingliu gave Feng Zhenghao a deep look, his tone revealing an unfathomable meaning:
"President Feng is joking. Although I created this mansion model, it was just a practice piece."
"Besides, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you take my things, you'll naturally have to pay the price."
Feng Zhenghao seemed oblivious to the warning in Xing Liu's words and skillfully changed the subject:
"We've been chatting for so long, but I still haven't had the pleasure of asking for your honorable name, young friend."
"Xingliu," Xingliu announced his name.
Feng Zhenghao paused slightly upon hearing the name, then smiled and said:
"So you're from Sakura Island, young friend. No wonder your clothes are different from ours."
Now it was Xingliu's turn to be surprised.
What did he just hear, Sakura Island?
Although he was surprised, he didn't show it on his face, and simply retorted, "I'm not from there."
Feng Zhenghao waved his hand and apologized, saying, "I see. I was being presumptuous."
He paused here, then began to extend a warm invitation:
"Since young friend Xingliu has come from afar, how about I, as the host, do my best to show you around and let you experience our local customs and culture?"
Xingliu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and slowly shook his head.
Just kidding, he doesn't want to go out with men.
Seeing that Xingliu refused, Feng Zhenghao did not press the matter.
"In that case, how about my daughter shows you around my company?"
Xingliu thought about it for a moment and felt that the suggestion was not bad.
He's new here and desperately needs to find the truth behind what's wrong with this world.
So Xingliu nodded and agreed to the suggestion: "Then I'll have to trouble President Feng."
Feng Zhenghao smiled with satisfaction when he saw Xingliu agree.
He immediately pressed the communicator on the table and gave the order to the other end:
"Shayan, come to my office now and show our company to our young friend Uchiha Seiryu."
Feng Shayan on the other end seemed a little surprised, but quickly agreed.
A moment later, there was a knock on the office door, and Feng Shayan appeared in the doorway.
She was dressed in a smart business suit, looking very capable and stylish.
"Father, are you looking for me?"
As Feng Shayan entered the office, her gaze inadvertently swept over Xingliu, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Feng Zhenghao pointed to Xingliu and introduced it:
"This is young friend Uchiha Seiryu. Please show him around our company."
Feng Shayan nodded, indicating that she understood.
She walked up to Xingliu and extended her hand: "Hello, I'm Feng Shayan. I'll show you around from now on."
Xingliu didn't say much, just nodded, and followed Feng Shayan out of the office.
The two then entered the Feng Family Group building together.
As the elevator slowly ascended, Feng Shayan began to enthusiastically introduce the group's various business departments to Xingliu.
She spoke with great familiarity, her tone filled with pride and love for the family business.
However, Xingliu didn't seem very interested in these things, and a hint of boredom appeared in his eyes.
Feng Shayan keenly sensed Xingliu's attitude. She felt a little disappointed, but still tried her best to maintain her enthusiasm.
She took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Xingliu, are you not particularly interested in these things? If there's anything else you'd like to know, I can answer your questions in detail."
Xingliu snapped out of her daze and glanced at Feng Shayan.
He said calmly, "What I'm more interested in is the state of this world."
Feng Shayan was slightly taken aback and looked at Xingliu with some confusion.
She didn't quite understand what Xingliu specifically wanted to know.
Xingliu sighed and explained, "I mean, why has the world become the way it is now?"
After hearing Xingliu's explanation, Feng Shayan looked bewildered.
She shook her head, indicating that she wasn't quite sure either.
This left Xingliu somewhat helpless.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you have a cell phone? Can I borrow it for a moment?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Shayan subconsciously took out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Xingliu.
However, after she handed over the phone, she belatedly realized that her action seemed somewhat inappropriate.
Her ears turned slightly red, but it was too late for regrets.
Xingliu didn't notice Feng Shayan's embarrassment. He took the phone and began to examine it intently.
His eyes swept quickly across the phone screen, as if searching for some important information.
Not long after, his eyes narrowed and he began to carefully examine the contents of his phone.
In that chaotic era of the last century, the world suddenly underwent tremendous changes.
The extraordinary individuals were the first to notice the anomaly; not only did their cultivation techniques progress faster, but their power also increased significantly.
The technique, which was previously only able to barely stop bullets even at its peak, has now become unfathomable, as if it has opened up a new world.
Moreover, the cultivation method itself completes the subsequent path, allowing one to become stronger.
Those who awaken their innate supernatural abilities also become exceptionally powerful.
The flame ability, which used to be only used to light a cigarette, can now burn rivers and boil seas, demonstrating astonishing power.
The number of newborns awakening supernatural abilities is also increasing, and they can become superhumans with just a little training.
Therefore, the term "population red line" never even appeared in that era.
Later researchers speculated that a spiritual revival occurred during that era.
However, they were also puzzled by the automatic evolution of the cultivation method.
Of course, this change wasn't all good; it almost made that era even more chaotic.
Fortunately, the leading figures in the world of supernatural beings, such as those from Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, united and brought the situation under control.
They not only punished the troublemakers, but also drove out the invaders.
It was around that time that the Sakura Kingdom was annexed by the Xia Kingdom.
After all, the Cherry Blossom Kingdom has been an inseparable part of the Xia Kingdom since ancient times.
For these great figures, self-cultivation was clearly more important than governing the country.
As a result, power returned to ordinary people, and the world gradually returned to stability.
What Xingliu found strange was that even with such a big change, the incident involving the 36 thieves still happened.
The information on the phone only briefly mentioned the details without providing any specific information.
However, judging from Feng Zhenghao's current situation, the plot doesn't seem to have taken any major turns.
Xingliu put down his phone, a sense of doubt welling up inside him.
Chapter 208 Feng Baobao
However complicated the situation may be, Xingliu has already made a general assessment of Feng Zhenghao's strength.
In his view, although Feng Zhenghao was strong, it would not prevent him from completing his mission.
In this way, even Zhang Zhiwei, who in the original story practiced immortality while others practiced martial arts, could not stop him.
Afterwards, Xingliu searched for information about the Luotian Grand Ceremony on his phone.
He discovered that preparations for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony had already begun, which meant that the plot had been unfolding for some time.
Just as he was thinking this, Feng Shayan's phone suddenly rang.
Xingliu frowned slightly as he looked at the caller ID on his phone screen, but he had no intention of answering.
He gently handed the phone back to Feng Shayan, his face still showing his composure.
Feng Shayan took the phone and looked at the caller ID with a slightly surprised expression.
She didn't understand why her father was calling her now when he had just given her a task.
However, she didn't say much, just hesitated for a moment, and then answered the phone.
"Shayan, there's something I need you to handle." Feng Zhenghao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Please let Xing Tong handle Xing Liu's reception. Tell Xing Liu that we have agreed to his request."
“Okay, I understand,” Feng Shayan replied respectfully.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Shayan looked at Xingliu with a hint of apology:
"I'm very sorry, I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to leave."
“However, my younger brother Feng Xingtong will receive you in my place. My father said that we have agreed to your request, and he has already given the items to Xingtong, who will then pass them on to you.”
Xingliu chuckled and nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
Not long after, a young man walked in. He looked even younger than Feng Shayan, with handsome features and a glint of intelligence in his eyes.
He politely introduced himself to Xingliu: "Hello, I am Feng Xingtong, Feng Shayan's younger brother. My father has already instructed me to come with you. The things are ready."
