Chapter 382: The Return of Yu Feng; My name is Bai Chenxiang, daughter of the Speed Clan Chief
The atmosphere on the training ground was as subtle as a spilled bottle of five-spice seasoning.
The sight of Yu Feng running away in tears still lingered at the edge of their vision, leaving the remaining six people looking at each other in dismay.
"What’s the situation?"
Ning Rongrong was the first to break the silence. "Didn’t Yu Feng go back home to visit relatives? Why did he come back crying like this?"
"It shouldn’t be that bad, right?"
Dugu Yan frowned.
"With his personality, even if the sky fell, he’d laugh and fly a few laps. Whatever made him cry is definitely no small matter."
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t speak; she just looked at Lin Qingmo.
Lin Qingmo’s expression was very calm.
It was so calm it was a bit abnormal.
"A-Qing, do you know something?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked.
The others’ gazes instantly focused on him.
Lin Qingmo’s expression didn’t change, and his heart didn’t skip a beat.
Of course, he couldn’t say he knew Yu Feng’s real identity was Bai Chenxiang.
Even more so, he couldn’t say he had already predicted all this through the plot of the original work.
"I have a rough guess," he said in a tone as steady as an old dog.
"I’ll go check. As the captain, I have to show some concern when a teammate is crying."
Liu Erlong nodded: "Go ahead, leave things here to me."
After watching Lin Qingmo leave, the atmosphere on the training ground didn’t relax; instead, it became even more subtle.
Liu Erlong turned around and found that Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan were all looking elsewhere at the same time.
She looked left.
The four looked left.
She looked right.
The four looked right.
Simply no one would look at her!
This was already the second time today.
Liu Erlong finally reached the end of her patience.
"You girls!"
She put her hands on her hips, her voice rising. "You’ve been looking at me with those eyes since this morning. What exactly is going on? Is there something on my face? Or am I not dressed properly?"
As she spoke, she hurriedly looked down to check her clothes.
They were very neat.
The bloodstains and dirt from last night had long been cleaned off.
Thinking of last night, Liu Erlong’s face suddenly turned red.
But she forced the blush down and continued checking her cuffs, collar, and belt.
There was nothing wrong anywhere.
Then what on earth were these girls dodging?
Hearing Liu Erlong’s question, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan instantly froze.
"Uh, well—" Ning Rongrong’s eyes darted around.
"I suddenly remembered I have something to do, I’m leaving first." Dugu Yan turned, wanting to slip away.
"Me too." Zhu Zhuqing followed expressionlessly.
"Wait for me!" Ning Rongrong chased after them.
"You guys—"
Before Liu Erlong could react, the three had already scattered with lightning speed, leaving only Xiao Wu standing there.
Xiao Wu: "..."
What happened to our sisterly bond?
Weren’t you very coordinated when we were eavesdropping?
Now you’re just as coordinated at throwing me under the bus?
Liu Erlong narrowed her eyes and walked toward Xiao Wu step by step. "Xiao Wu, you’re my goddaughter. You wouldn’t lie to me, would you?"
Xiao Wu’s gaze began to dart around frantically.
"What exactly is going on?" Liu Erlong pressed.
"This..." Xiao Wu’s voice grew smaller and smaller. "Last night... when I went out for a walk, I found Rongrong and the others were also out for a walk."
"What about the walk?"
"We... walked to the same place."
"Where?"
Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said in a tone as if she were about to face her execution: "Outside the wall of A-Qing’s dormitory courtyard."
"?"
Liu Erlong’s expression froze.
Last night... outside the courtyard wall...
Then didn’t the sounds she and Lin Qingmo made get heard by them?
And it wasn’t just Xiao Wu alone!
In her mind, she instantly replayed the sounds she made at that time.
The suppressed, selfless, completely out-of-control sounds that she had never made in her life.
They heard everything!
Liu Erlong was petrified on the spot.
Her entire being was like someone struck by Medusa’s gaze; from the tips of her hair to her toes, she turned into stone.
The next second, a blush like a volcanic eruption spread from her neck to her ears, and then from her ears to her entire face.
"They, they all..." Liu Erlong’s voice shook like a sieve.
"Mm..."
Xiao Wu nodded with difficulty.
Liu Erlong wanted to die right now.
No wonder they had been looking at her with those eyes since morning!
Liu Erlong covered her face with both hands and let out a suppressed moan of despair.
If a crack could open in the ground, she would crawl into it right now and burrow all the way to the other side of Douluo Star!
...
On the other side.
Lin Qingmo arrived at the door of Yu Feng’s dormitory.
The door wasn’t closed tightly, leaving a finger-wide gap.
Sounds came from inside—suppressed sobs mixed with the sound of sniffing.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Lin Qingmo knocked three times.
"..."
No answer.
He knocked three more times, and still, there was no answer.
So he pushed the door open and went in.
The dormitory wasn’t large; he could see the figure slumped over the table at a glance.
The shoulders were shaking; clearly, the person was crying very hard.
Lin Qingmo walked to her side and sat in the chair next to her. He didn’t speak, just waiting quietly.
After a long while, Yu Feng finally lifted her head.
Seeing that the visitor was Lin Qingmo, she was stunned for a moment, and then tears welled up again, completely uncontrollable.
"Cap-captain..."
She tried to speak while crying, "I-I’m f-fine..."
"You call this fine?"
Lin Qingmo sighed. "If you’re fine, then I probably need to see a doctor for my eyes."
The joke failed to make Yu Feng laugh.
She just lay on the table, her shoulders shaking even harder.
Lin Qingmo watched her quietly.
"Yu Feng." He spoke again, his voice gentle but striking the heart of the matter. "Is it related to your Family? The Speed Clan?"
"!"
Yu Feng’s sobbing stopped abruptly.
She jerked her head up, her eyes red and swollen from crying, filled with shock as she stared straight at Lin Qingmo.
That look said—how do you know?
Seeing her expression, Lin Qingmo knew he had guessed correctly; she really was Bai Chenxiang.
So he said, "Why don’t you tell me about your identity yourself? Perhaps we can help you."
Yu Feng... no, Bai Chenxiang stared at him blankly, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, but she had forgotten to continue crying.
After a long while.
She pursed her lips as if she had made a decision.
Then, she raised her hand and took off the hat on her head, then removed the wig.
A head of light purple long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, spilling over her shoulders.
Beneath the hat and wig was the clean, delicate face of a young girl.
Her eyes carried the unique agile aura of the Speed Clan, but they were currently covered by tear stains and sadness.
Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow.
Although he had known for a long time, seeing this disguise-removal process with his own eyes was still quite shocking.
This girl’s disguise technique was truly impressive.
He remembered there was also a breast binder.
"I... my name isn’t Yu Feng."
Her voice was no longer the neutral tone she usually used, but a clear, slender girl’s voice.
"My name is Bai Chenxiang, and I am the granddaughter of the Speed Clan Chief, Bai He."
At this point, her eyes reddened again.
"Captain, my Family... is gone."
