Seeing the visitor, Ling Feng paused and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Boss, I’m here to help you strategize!"
Gu Li chuckled and glanced around the environment, "Not bad, this place indeed has the feel of Shiliu Village!"
"Nonsense, this is Shiliu Village!"
Ling Feng replied, then looked up at Sato Saori, "You took so long just to wait for Gu Li?"
"Not really, I also went to Shallow Blue Star to talk to Shiyun and the others." Sato Saori said.
Ling Feng was stunned, "Why did you do that? Why tell them?"
"Because I think you might be here for a long time, so I had to let everyone know!" Sato Saori said.
"That’s right, that’s also my suggestion!"
Gu Li nodded and continued, "Boss, discovering another Earth is hugely significant!"
Ling Feng looked at him, "Really? What’s the significance?"
"The global situation is still unclear, but if the technology here isn’t advanced, then it’s likely the same abroad. An Earth that hasn’t undergone an industrial revolution is a great place!" Gu Li said.
"You’ve got your eyes on the resources here, huh?"
Ling Feng immediately understood.
Gu Li didn’t hide his intentions, and with a chuckle, said, "Don’t you, boss? This place is like an undeveloped virgin land. With our technology, we can skip many polluting and wasteful development stages and directly put this planet on a fast track, transforming it into a large garden without lacking in technology. Isn’t that perfect?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng hadn’t thought that far, and with a bitter smile, said, "You’ve thought it through, but I just don’t see it as necessary."
"Then you’re wrong, not only is it necessary, but I think it’s a heaven-sent opportunity!" Gu Li said.
"Why?"
Ling Feng asked, puzzled.
"Resources and population are secondary, but boss, have you considered this? The legacy you received earlier and Ling Yao, Ling Ling from ancient times, they still exist in this world!" Gu Li said.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng’s eyes widened.
He had never considered this, and now after Gu Li’s reminder, he realized it immediately!
Not just this, but if Gu Li’s speculation is correct, then isn’t there also a Longsword containing the Nine Heavens in the hollow southeast of Shiliu Village?
Thinking about these, Ling Feng couldn’t sit still anymore.
But just as he stood up, Gu Li immediately said, "Boss, don’t rush. Things need to be taken slow. Since you’ve decided to stay, there’s plenty of time to explore this world again. It’s not too late to get firmly established first!"
"Right, you’re correct!"
Ling Feng nodded.
By now, it was late, and the village children, after eating their fill, went home to sleep. Ling Feng and the others also bid farewell to Ling Baoguo and his wife and returned to their rented house.
Gu Li stayed in the west room, while Ling Feng and Sato Saori were in the east room. The night passed just like that.
The next morning, the three got up early and then left Shiliu Village together.
After leaving the village, the surrounding scenery became somewhat unfamiliar due to the state of a hundred years ago, which greatly differed from later.
The river courses, road layouts, and even the forests were unlike the Shiliu Village on the other side.
So to find that old house, Ling Feng could only rely on his memory.
However, the three eventually found the place.
After passing through the woods, arriving at where the old house was supposed to be, they saw nothing but a barren slope, with no trace of the house.
Ling Feng scanned the area with his Divine Sense, and the ancient tomb below was nonexistent.
This left him puzzled, scratching his head as he said, "I didn’t get the place wrong, so why is it gone?"
"Don’t worry, let’s think it over."
Gu Li was also surprised, his eyes darting around, then he looked at Ling Feng, "Boss, could it be that the sword is unique?"
"It can’t be, can it?"
Ling Feng was bewildered, shaking his head, "The entire planet can be replicated, but a sword can’t?"
"Given the current situation, it seems so. Otherwise, there’s no explaining why the ancient tomb isn’t here," Gu Li said.
"If that’s the case, then Ling Yao wouldn’t appear here either?" Ling Feng asked.
"It’s possible."
Gu Li nodded, pondering, "We’ve oversimplified things."
"Alright, since it’s not here, let’s drop it for now and go back. Maybe someone from the Capital City will come tomorrow, so we should deal with this matter first!" Ling Feng said.
"Alright."
Gu Li nodded, and the three left the place, returning to Shiliu Village.
They were not yet at the village entrance when they saw people at Ling Baoguo’s home. Ling Feng paused for a moment before dashing over in an instant!
He arrived in the courtyard almost instantly to see several people in uniforms standing there, and he immediately demanded in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"
The few people were startled, as Ling Feng arrived so quickly it seemed like he appeared out of nowhere!
After seeing him clearly, the leader of the group immediately said, "Mr. Ling, don’t misunderstand, we mean no harm!"
"Yes, they’re here on behalf of the village chief to express their condolences!" Ling Baoguo quickly added.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Condolences? Why?"
"Uh, let me explain,"
The lead officer smiled and continued, "The village chief has figured out what happened and knows it was our people who were at fault. So he specifically sent us here, first to apologize, and secondly to bring some gifts of condolence."
Seeing several baskets on the ground covered with red cloth, and not knowing what was inside, Ling Feng squinted, "Your village chief knows how to handle things!"
He had understood; this village chief was a smart person. After realizing Pang Feng was killed, he spent a day pondering and made this decision.
If it were someone else, they’d wait till someone from the Capital City came, resolving things properly before apologizing.
Yet this village chief thought further ahead; based on Ling Feng’s actions, he realized Ling Feng was formidable, not even needing someone from the Capital City to predict the outcome.
To think so far ahead, this person’s not short of talent!
So he turned to Gu Li, Ling Feng smiled faintly and said, "This village chief is interesting!"
"Indeed, since the village chief’s attitude is so sincere, why don’t you accept his apology and invite him over for a meal?" Gu Li suggested with a smile.
"Sure!"
Ling Feng nodded and said to the lead officer, "Go back and tell the village chief I accept his apology. Since we’ll be seeing more of each other, I’d like to invite him over for dinner. Would he be willing to honor us with his presence?"
