Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1245: Schemes Within Schemes

"Come over here, close your eyes."

"Alright!"

A surge of elation filled Yu Sihuang. With a swift movement, he positioned himself right beside Luo Qingtong, then promptly shut his eyes and leaned in for a kiss.

Luo Qingtong observed his actions, a flicker of mischief and roguishness dancing in her eyes. Then, she raised her hand...

and beckoned forth the Little Fragrant Pig.

This little creature had been lounging in her sleeve pouch, using its tiny hooves to playfully engage with the nearby Little Golden Mouse.

The smaller critter was so incessantly teased that it let out squeak after squeak.

Right in the midst of its playful antics, the Little Fragrant Pig was abruptly lifted into the air, aligning perfectly for Yu Sihuang’s intended kiss.

"!!!"

From the perspective of the wide-eyed Little Fragrant Pig, its small snout received a perfectly aimed kiss.

Yu Sihuang immediately sensed that something was amiss and opened his eyes.

In an instant, the man and the pig locked eyes, both remarkably startled.

Then, Yu Sihuang recoiled, instantly retreating a distance of three yards.

"Ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

He turned his gaze towards Luo Qingtong, his face shifting rapidly between shades of black and green.

"Tongtong! Where is the promised sweet kiss?!"

"Isn’t this it?"

Luo Qingtong replied, gently tapping the Little Fragrant Pig’s tiny nose. The pig had not yet regained its composure.

Yu Sihuang’s face was a mask of utter disbelief, complete with dark lines.

"Tongtong! You can’t do this to me! I distinctly stated earlier, it was supposed to be you!" His voice dripped with aggrieved emotion.

"Correct!" Luo Qingtong arched an eyebrow, fixing him with a look. "The Little Fragrant Pig also belongs to me! Any objections?"

"..."

Yu Sihuang, thoroughly duped by the ruse, was left feeling utterly frustrated.

......

The pair rejoined the awaiting group, where Su Yu and the others had been waiting for a considerable time.

"Master, where do we proceed from here?" Su Yu inquired, looking towards Luo Qingtong.

"You first escort the Tianxie personnel to find suitable lodgings. Familiarize yourselves and reinforce the Fake Soul Marks I previously provided. I shall summon you when the necessity arises."

"Understood!" Su Yu and his companions affirmed, promptly departing to carry out the instructions.

Chu Lingfeng also made a move to follow Su Yu and the others, but Luo Qingtong halted him.

"What is your situation? How did you end up in Barbaric City?" Luo Qingtong questioned him directly. "Wasn’t the Supreme Director meant to assign you a specific mission?"

Could it be that his mission actually involved this very Barbaric City?

Yet, when she departed, the Supreme Director had not conveyed any such detail to her!

This oversight suggested that the circumstances were far from straightforward.

"Master..." Chu Lingfeng stooped, appearing as though he had committed a grave error, his gaze directed downwards, hesitant to meet her eyes.

"I... after returning from executing the Supreme Director's mission, discovering you were no longer present... I simply... simply pursued after you!"

Heaven alone knew the sheer astonishment Chu Lingfeng experienced upon returning to the Daqin Saint Institute, only to find Luo Qingtong had already left, missing the opportunity to meet his destined master.

He had forthwith submitted a "leave of absence" request to the Supreme Director and immediately set off to locate Luo Qingtong.

However, Luo Qingtong had taken a detour to Fenghua City beforehand.

Consequently, Chu Lingfeng failed to intercept them and consequently arrived at Barbaric City ahead of schedule.

"Hmm." Luo Qingtong offered a slight nod.

At that precise moment, Chu Lingfeng raised his head. The burly man, appearing even larger than when Luo Qingtong had first encountered him, now possessed slightly reddened eyes as he gazed at her.

"Master, I implore you, do not assign me to that sect. I absolutely refuse to go! Return this wretched token to them!"

"Master! Please do not be angry with me, do not forsake me! I wish to remain by your side."

In this moment, Chu Lingfeng was consumed by sheer panic.

He was entirely unaware that Luo Qingtong’s earlier mention of him being associated with the Emperor Sect was merely a temporary contingency.

He harbored the fear that he had indeed angered Luo Qingtong, and she no longer desired his presence.
