Chapter 739 Her Voice
Looking at the phone screen, the next second, a smile appeared on Xu Qingzhu's face.

It’s a call from Wang Tong.

……

"Old Wang."

……

After briefly talking about his meeting with Master Xiao, Xu Qingzhu rejected Wang Tong's proposal to meet in the afternoon.

If it was before Master Xiao said that to him, he would have agreed.

But now his mind was filled with the surprise that Master Xiao had mentioned, so how could he have the mind to do anything else?
……

"Master Xu, you are really hard to make an appointment with."

Wang Tong complained slightly.

"I have to go back to the courtyard this afternoon."

Xu Qingzhu felt a little apologetic.

Knowing that Master Xiao was the expert that Wang Tong wanted to introduce to him before, his impression of Wang Tong improved a lot.

"Tomorrow."

"Let's have dinner together tomorrow and talk about it in detail then."

……

Wang Tong knew that when Xu Qingzhu said returning to Siheyuan, he meant returning to his parents' home.

So, what else does he have to say?

Moreover, the other party had also scheduled a dinner for tomorrow, so he decided to stop while he was ahead. "Okay, then, Mr. Xu, should I arrange it tomorrow or do you?"

"You arranged it."

"Let's have lunch together."

"Ok."

"Then I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Ah."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingzhu drove towards the courtyard.

When he reached the gate of the yard, he took a deep breath before opening the door and walking into the yard.

……

He and his elder brother both have the key to the courtyard house, so they can come over at any time.

According to the old lady, this is their home. Do they need to knock on the door before entering their own home?

……

The yard is quiet.

Both elders have the habit of taking naps.

They were all still asleep at this time.

……

Xu Qingzhu walked straight through the moon gate and headed towards the maple tree in the inner courtyard.

……

The branches of the maple tree, whose age is unknown, are vigorous and strong, and the criss-crossing branches are covered with dense maple leaves.

The green is lush and there is a slight chill in the air.

……

Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but pause.

Then, step by step, he slowly walked into the maple tree.

……

Standing under the maple tree, he looked up.

The huge maple tree made him feel insignificant.

He was a little confused. What was the surprise that Master Xiao mentioned?
……

If he had not witnessed the miraculous performance of the maple tree with his own eyes yesterday, he would never have believed that this apparently ordinary maple tree was actually a tree demon.

The only unusual thing about this maple tree is that it is much larger than ordinary maple trees.

But isn't this because the tree has been alive for a long time?
……

But maybe it’s because it has lived for so long that it has become a spirit, right?
……

So besides this maple tree, are there other tree spirits?

After all, although there are not many trees that live long, they are not that rare.

……

He suddenly felt that the world he had been living in had become a little more mysterious, as if it was shrouded in fog.

……

"Ling Feng."

Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the tree trunk in front of him, murmuring the name of the monster that Master Xiao told him was transformed from the maple tree.

……

He prefers the name Ling Feng to Feng Zigui.

Because the young lady in his impression was not spooky at all.

Even though she didn't say a word, her unusual white hair and eyes gave off a bit of weirdness, but the aura around the young lady was very ethereal and clean, with a pleasant scent of maple leaves.

……

"Xu Qingzhu."

As if in response, shortly after Xu Qingzhu's murmur fell, an ethereal voice sounded in his ears.

……

A strange voice called his name.

Xu Qingzhu was shocked.

……

It was a nice sound, but the way it appeared was too unexpected.

Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but take a few steps back, a look of vigilance on his face.

……

"Who?" he shouted, looking around.

But nothing was gained.

The sound did not come again.

……

Xu Qingzhu was stunned.

A possibility suddenly occurred to him.

"Ling-Feng?"

"is it you?"

Xu Qingzhu's voice trembled a little.

His whole body was trembling slightly because of this conjecture.

……

"Ling Feng?"

"Ling Feng?"

……

“Ling Feng!”

Xu Qingzhu's voice became louder and louder, but his expression gradually changed from excitement to gloom. The light in his eyes was like a flame in the wind, and it seemed that it would be completely extinguished in the next moment.

……

"Ling Feng, can you answer me?"

Xu Qingzhu stood dejectedly under the tree, very angry about his previous reaction and wanted to punch himself.

"Ling Feng, are you scared by me?"

"Still angry?"

"Before, I just-"

Xu Qingzhu stuttered, "I was a little scared."

"Ah, no, it's just that your voice was too sudden."

"It was just a knee-jerk reaction."

"I don't mean to be afraid of you."

"I want to see you badly."

"Even if it's just the sound."

……

"Ling Feng, can you call my name again?"

Xu Qingfeng raised his head, and the sunlight fell in through the branches. His eyes shone with a dazzling and bright light, "I am really happy."

"You know my name."

"You always remember my name."

Because he was too surprised just now, he didn't listen carefully to Ling Feng calling his name.

He was both unwilling and regretful.

"Ling Feng, I will listen carefully this time."

"So, can you call me by my name again?"

A gentle breeze blew, and the maple leaves rustled, making a crisp sound.

Apart from that, there was total silence between heaven and earth.

There are no insects chirping, no birds singing.

There was no sound of her either.

Xu Qingzhu slowly lowered his head.

The frustration was so intense that it almost made his eyes wet.

"Xu Qingzhu."

Xu Qingzhu suddenly looked up, and the blur in front of his eyes made him blink several times.

Even though his whole body was shaking with excitement, Xu Qingzhu pursed his lips tightly and focused his attention on his ears.

Was it she who called him again just now?
"Ling Feng."

Xu Qingzhu let out a soft cry, and all his previous lethargy disappeared.

He laughed, "Ling Feng."

The slightly hoarse voice revealed bright joy.

"Ling Feng."

"Ling Feng."

"Xu Qingzhu."

The smile on Xu Qingzhu's face became more and more obvious.

This time, he heard it clearly.

Her voice is really nice.

Her voice was much better than the one he had fantasized about countless times.

Just like her appearance, she is ethereal and beautiful without any trace of worldly things.

But that's only natural.

Ling Feng is a monster, not a human.

Naturally there won't be any human smell.

Xu Qingzhu raised his head, letting the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves fall on his face.

Slightly scorching temperature.

He reached out and gently touched the trunk of the maple tree.

"Ling Feng."

"I'm really happy."

He repeated his previous words again.

"Ling Feng."

"Ling Feng."
