Chapter: 5405

The taxi driver slowed down, pointing at a sign in the middle of the road, and told Long Qing, who was sitting next to him, "Long Road, you can't go any further from here. If you want to go to Xiangxi Li Hot Springs, you'll have to get out and walk."

Long Qing reluctantly nodded and said, "I'll just get off here. I'm getting out at this stop."

The taxi driver brought the car to a halt, Long Qing paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked away.

At that moment, Hong Wu's younger brother came running up to him and asked, "Teacher, where are you headed now?"

Long Qing's eyes were still red and puffy, and he looked pitifully sad as he said, "I... I'm going to see Master Ye..."

That little brother listened to this and immediately knew that this person must be the old man surnamed Hong mentioned by Ye Chen.

However, just in case, he still asked: "What's your surname?"

Hong Changqing bowed his hands: "No need to ask my surname, I'm from the Hong family."

The little brother chuckled: "Sorry, Mr. Hong, but there is a construction and upgrade going on here right now, so we're not allowing anyone in temporarily."

"Not allowed in?" Hong Changqing exclaimed hastily: "Trouble you to tell Master Ye one thing, just say that Hong Changqing is asking to see him!"

The little brother shook his head: "I don't have any way to contact Master Ye, even if I did, I wouldn't tell him."

Hong Changqing asked in confusion: "Why? Does Master Ye said not to let me in?"

The little brother chuckled again: "You figure it out yourself then."

Seeing the little brother's playful smile, Hong Changqing immediately knew that this was definitely what Ye Chen had passed on.

At this moment, his heart was filled with despairing thoughts of dying, but he clearly understood that Ye Chen didn't let him in, so he couldn't go in either, even if the person in front of him had no cultivation whatsoever. With his current four-star martial arts abilities, he could easily take care of him, but he still couldn't enter.

So, he could only let out a deep sigh and resignedly said: "Well, I'll just wait for him here then......"

The little brother shrugged: "Whatever you say."

Hong Changqing was helpless, so he walked alone to the side of the road, found a tree shade beneath, sat down, and started meditating.

It wasn't that he really had his heart set on practicing or was in a peaceful state of mind; on the contrary, his mental state was already about to explode, thinking back on today's ordeal. The more he thought about it, the more he felt miserable, the more he felt suffocated. He was like someone who had fallen into a pool filled with blue ink, unable to shake it off.

However, even trying this method didn't help; his heart still hurt like being cut by a knife.

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang, and although he was upset and flustered, he still pulled out his phone to take a look. A quick glance was all it took for the pent-up resentment in his heart, like an endless river of water, to be suddenly magnified without limit.

Because the one calling wasn't someone else, but Ye Chen's grandmother.

Hong Changqing looked at the incoming call name and tears uncontrollably sprang forth from his eyes.

But he still managed to suppress the urge to cry out loud and pressed the answer key. His voice was hoarse as he said: "Grandma, grandma......"

The old lady on the other end of the phone sounded surprised: "Hong Tianshi, your voice sounds very tired, is something wrong?" JrNovels.com
