Chapter 175 Chen Xiner Arrives at Xihai City

This woman was Chen Xiner. She came to Xihai City just to find Lin Feng.

After Chen Xin'er entered the city gate, her beautiful eyes wandered around, curiously gazing at this unfamiliar city. She walked lightly along the street, her graceful figure attracting countless people's attention.

"This girl is so beautiful, just like a fairy in a painting." A young scholar couldn't help but admire her, staring at Chen Xiner with his eyes, and almost dropped the book in his hand.

"Could it be that fairies from heaven have come down to earth?" A young girl selling flowers was so stunned that she even forgot to shout out her sale of the flowers in her hands.

Chen Xiner was used to these looks. She was only thinking about finding out Lin Feng's whereabouts. She walked to a jewelry stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged woman who was staring at her intently, her face full of amazement.

"Sister, do you know where Lin Feng is?" Chen Xiner opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was as clear and pleasant as a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

When the stall owner heard her question, he was stunned at first, then his face became terrified. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Girl, I don't know, don't ask me." After that, he hurriedly packed up the stall and left.

Chen Xiner was full of doubts and walked towards an old man selling fruit.

"Uncle, have you ever heard of Lin Feng?" Her eyes were full of anticipation.

The old man looked up at her, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, he shook his head, lowered his head and said no more.

Chen Xiner walked and stopped along the way, asking one person after another, but all she got were negative answers. Some people even ran away as if they had seen a ghost when they heard Lin Feng's name.

It turned out that just a few days ago, Lin Feng had engaged in a shocking battle with the City Lord, Mu Yan, in Xihai City. With his immense strength, Lin Feng had unexpectedly slain the Grandmaster-level City Lord. This news spread rapidly throughout Xihai City. Although most ordinary people had only heard of it and had not witnessed the thrilling battle firsthand, Lin Feng's reputation had already instilled fear in them. Even the City Lord's subordinates, despite their deep hatred for Lin Feng, dared not openly post notices to search for him, and could only conduct covert investigations.

Chen Xiner searched for a long time. Before she knew it, the sun was setting. She felt her legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead and she was exhausted.

"Well, let's find a place to eat something and rest for a while before continuing to inquire." Chen Xiner sighed lightly and walked into a restaurant called "Yue Lai Inn".

The restaurant was bustling with activity, packed with guests. Chen Xiner found a seat by the window and called the waiter.

"Waiter, give me a steamed fish, a serving of vegetables, and a bowl of rice." Chen Xiner said softly.

"Okay, please wait a moment, young lady." The waiter responded and hurried to the kitchen.

After a while, the food was served. Chen Xiner ate slowly, but her thoughts were still immersed in looking for Lin Feng.

At this moment, the door of the restaurant was flung open, and a young man in elegant clothes walked in, followed by two burly middle-aged servants. This young man was none other than Qi Hai, the young master of the Qi family.

"Master Qi, you are here. The private room upstairs has been reserved for you." The shop owner greeted him with a smile on his face and a nod.

Qi Hai raised his head slightly, with a hint of arrogance on his face, and strode towards the stairs.

After taking just two steps, Qi Hai's gaze was suddenly drawn to Chen Xin'er. His eyes widened instantly, and he stood there in a daze, as if he had been cast under a spell.

"How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world?" Qi Hai sighed in his heart and walked towards Chen Xiner involuntarily.

"Girl, it's so boring to eat alone. Why don't you let me accompany you?" Qi Hai had a smile on his face that he thought was charming, but there was a hint of frivolity in his eyes.

Chen Xiner raised her head, glanced at him, and said politely, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I'm used to eating alone."

Qi Hai refused to give up and shamelessly sat down opposite Chen Xiner.

"Girl, meeting is fate, why keep people at a distance?" Qi Hai said as he looked at Chen Xiner unscrupulously.

Chen Xiner secretly felt disgusted, but her good upbringing allowed her to remain polite.

"Young Master, please be respectful." Chen Xiner's voice rose slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Qi Hai seemed not to hear and continued, "Miss, judging from your attire, you don't look like a local. What brings you to Xihai City?"

Chen Xiner hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm here to look for a friend."

Qi Hai became interested upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Oh? May I know the name of your friend? Perhaps I can help."

Seeing that Qi Hai seemed willing to help, Chen Xiner said, "I'm looking for Lin Feng."

When Qi Hai heard the name "Lin Feng", his face turned pale instantly and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Lin Feng? Girl, you are actually Lin Feng's friend?" Qi Hai's voice was trembling.

He knew very well how powerful Lin Feng was, and the elders in the family had repeatedly warned him not to offend Lin Feng.

But looking at the beautiful Chen Xin'er in front of him, Qi Hai was unwilling to let her go. His eyes rolled and a bad idea came to his mind.

"Miss, I have never heard of Lin Feng. I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm really sorry." Qi Hai said, standing up, "Miss, enjoy your meal. I'll take my leave now."

After Qi Hai went upstairs, he came to a private room and the two middle-aged servants followed him in.

"Master, why don't you continue chatting with that girl?" asked one of the servants.

Qi Hai glared at him and whispered, "You two idiots, that woman is Lin Feng's friend."

When the two servants heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Qi Hai continued, "However, Lin Feng is not in Xihai City right now. Since this woman is looking for Lin Feng, she probably doesn't know his whereabouts. Let's find an opportunity to kidnap her and bring her back. No one will know about it."

The two servants looked at each other and nodded.

Qi Hai secretly looked down from the window of the private room and saw Chen Xiner still eating her meal slowly with a sinister smile on her lips.

Chen Xiner also felt at this time that Qi Hai was not a good person. She hurriedly finished her meal, paid the bill, and got up to leave the restaurant.

She walked out of the restaurant, still thinking about how to find Lin Feng.

"I don't know where Lin Feng is. Xihai City is so big, it's really hard to find someone." Chen Xiner sighed softly.

At this time, Qi Hai, who was upstairs in the restaurant, saw Chen Xiner leaving and quickly said to the two middle-aged servants, "Follow her and find a secluded place to do it."

Chen Xin'er walked down the street, completely unaware of anyone following her. The setting sun's afterglow elongated her figure, and a crisis was quietly approaching.
