Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Lin Feng's mind raced. "Who are those people who are chasing her?"

The person who could injure her like this must be an extremely difficult opponent, and there must be quite a few of them.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes showed no fear, but rather a strange light flashed across them.

"These people are here for the White Jade Token, right?"

Gu Yu escaped to my place. Will they follow the trail? If they do," he licked his dry lips, "the enemy of a peak-level expert must be quite strong."

These are all good fellow Daoists!

Lin Feng didn't care about the White Jade Token. He said, "Take it if you want it, as long as you can kill to your heart's content."

Time slipped away silently.

About an hour later, on the bed, Gu Yu's long eyelashes suddenly trembled a few times.

She slowly opened her eyes.

At first, her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and disorientation from just waking up from serious injuries.

But just a few breaths later, the instincts honed from years of walking the edge of danger instantly replaced the confusion with a sharp sense of vigilance.

She instinctively tried to sit up and assume a defensive posture.

However, as soon as she moved, she felt a tearing pain all over her body, especially the wounds on her chest and legs, which made her groan and fall back onto the bed.

Only then did she realize that her clothes were gone, and she was only wrapped in layers of clean gauze.

A slight stinging sensation came from the wound.

The burning sensation on her forehead that had tormented her for so long had also subsided considerably.

Is this person's method of treating wounds so unique and meticulous?

Her tense nerves relaxed a little, at least temporarily escaping the most dangerous situation.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps came from outside.

Gu Yu immediately endured the pain, turned her head slightly, and looked towards the door.

The curtain was gently lifted, and a figure walked in.

When she saw the person's face clearly, a complex emotion flashed in Gu Yu's cold eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She opened her mouth, her lips, chapped from blood loss and high fever, moved slightly, her voice hoarse and weak.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin."

Lin Feng, who was about to ask a question, suddenly stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, and his expression quickly changed from calm to undisguised astonishment.

"Holy crap, you actually know me?"

This was indeed a situation he never expected.

He had expected that Gu Yu would be wary and grateful after waking up, but directly pointing out his surname was clearly beyond his comprehension.

Gu Yu lay flat, her face pale from blood loss, with little expression, only nodding slightly, the movement subtle yet firm.

"I've heard Erniu mention you."

Her voice was still hoarse and weak, but every word was clear.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, his doubts not completely dispelled.

Zhao Erniu had mentioned himself, at most letting her know that there was such a person as "Lin Feng". How could he have found this remote rented house so accurately, and just happened to collapse here when she came back?

"How did you find your way here?" Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush and asked the most crucial question directly.

His gaze was fixed on Gu Yu's eyes, trying to discern the truth from the falsehood.

Gu Yu seemed to want to shake her head, but the movement aggravated the wound on her neck, causing her to frown slightly.

She took a deep breath; even this simple action seemed to have taken a lot of effort, and her body was in pain.

Her clear, beautiful eyes gazed at Lin Feng, and she slowly shook her head with a frank expression, saying, "I didn't know you lived here."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I was chased all the way two days ago, and I was injured in many places. My internal energy was also almost exhausted."

I barely made it into Yongguan City. Last night, all I wanted was to find a place to hide temporarily and avoid pursuers and any potential spies.

After climbing over several courtyard walls, I found this house empty and ended up here.

At that point, I was no longer fully conscious and could no longer hold on.

She spoke calmly, but the devastation and urgency conveyed in her words were enough to make one imagine how she had fled for her life amidst the clash of swords the previous night.

After explaining her arrival, Gu Yu's gaze unconsciously swept to the floor beside the bed, then looked around the room, as if searching for something.

Not seeing the target, her brows furrowed slightly again as she looked at Lin Feng, her voice carrying a barely perceptible urgency: "Where's the White Jade Token?"

Lin Feng glanced at her but didn't answer immediately, seemingly trying to discern whether it was true or false.

It's such a coincidence that I appeared in his yard and knew his name.

He reached into his robes and took out a white jade token.

He took the token and walked back to the bedside, casually handing it to Gu Yu: "Here, take it."

Gu Yu's gaze fell on the warm, white jade token in Lin Feng's hand, and her eyes flickered with a complex expression.

She didn't reach out to take it; instead, she shook her head again, a faint, bittersweet, and fatalistic smile playing on her lips.

"It seems that this white jade token is destined to belong to Young Master Lin."

"Hmm?" Lin Feng looked at Gu Yu with a puzzled expression. "Why do you say that?"

He doesn't believe in anything about destiny.

Gu Yu's gaze shifted from the token to Lin Feng's face, her eyes appearing somewhat distant. "My master once said that the White Jade Token cannot be held by anyone who is not destined for it or whose fate is not strong."

At the time, I was young and thought that my master was exaggerating or giving me some kind of mysterious warning.

Now I've experienced it firsthand.

Her voice lowered, "I have no choice but to believe it."

"I was able to enter this courtyard perhaps because Bai Yu ordered it to bring me here."

Gu Yu's slightly mystical explanation left Lin Feng completely baffled.

But since it's a metaphysical subject, it's hard to say.

"What is the origin of this white jade token? What is it used for?" Lin Feng pressed, temporarily putting the token away.

Gu Yu shook her head gently, her eyes filled with helplessness: "I don't know the specifics either. Even my master is very secretive about it and doesn't want to talk about it much."

She only mentioned casually that this white jade token was not unique; there should be twelve scattered throughout the world.

"Twelve pieces?" Lin Feng was genuinely surprised.

One yuan is enough to cause a great undercurrent; what would happen if twelve yuan were involved?

Gu Yu nodded slightly, confirming the number: "Each piece is said to possess mysterious and unpredictable abilities, or be connected to some earth-shattering secret."

Some say it is a token or key left behind by ancient immortals in the mortal world;

Some say that this is a manifestation of the laws of nature, and each appearance in the world foreshadows a great change or opportunity.

Once news of the appearance of a token spreads, it will inevitably trigger a frenzied struggle among countless forces, and bloodshed will be unavoidable.

But what specific abilities each token possesses, or what happens when they are all collected, remains unknown.

At least, it's not something someone of my level could access.

Lin Feng thoughtfully stroked the token in his hand.

The value and danger of this token seem to be greater than he imagined.

"Alright, we'll talk about this later." Lin Feng casually stuffed the token back into his pocket, actually putting it back into his spatial storage. Now was not the time to delve into it.
