What Gu Li reported could be a big deal or a small matter. The reason Ling Feng agreed to check it out, to put it simply, is because he likes living outside.

A life with a wife, kids, and a warm bed is certainly beautiful, but it lacks a bit of excitement and passion.

So home is a harbor, yet Ling Feng, this ship, can’t stay docked forever and needs to go explore.

Li Shiyun and Mo Jiaolan understood Ling Feng’s character, so when he mentioned leaving Lingyun Island to do some investigation, everyone just exchanged smiles.

"We made a bet that you wouldn’t stay on the island for more than two months, and today it’s exactly one day short; we finally won!" Li Shiyun said with a laugh.

"Maybe it’s because my curiosity is too strong. If I don’t figure out what’s going on, I always feel like there’s something weighing on my mind," Ling Feng chuckled awkwardly.

Li Shiyun glanced at him and said, "Alright, no one’s blaming you. If you want to go out, then go. It’s not like you won’t ever come back!"

"Hmm."

Ling Feng nodded and continued, "But now the whole world knows me, so I can’t let myself be recognized this time when I go out!"

After saying that, he returned to his room and used the Art of Disguise to change his face.

As for his new identity, arranged through Gu Li’s subordinates, he’s now renamed Li Qiang, a recent college graduate.

Everyone thought this identity arrangement was quite speechless.

Ling Feng never went to college and doesn’t have that youthful vigor. Can he really pull it off?

But Ling Feng thought differently, facing everyone’s doubts, he chuckled, "I was born a lively and energetic big boy!"

Everyone: "..."

Leaving Lingyun Island, Ling Feng teleported back to Huaxia and first arrived at Yangjing County.

The main purpose of coming here was to find Chen Fei, who was engrossed in work and hadn’t returned to Lingyun Island like everyone else, so Ling Feng hadn’t seen her for two months.

When Chen Fei saw the changed face of Ling Feng, she immediately recognized him from his eyes and then laughed, "What? Changing to this appearance means you’re not confident in your original looks?"

"Not really, mainly worried about being recognized, which would make things inconvenient for me,"

Ling Feng laughed lightly and then said helplessly, "I can now understand the feelings of those celebrities. Going out without disguising, I’m really afraid of causing trouble!"

Chen Fei wasn’t concerned about what face Ling Feng had, and knowing what he was up to, she asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, just came to see you, then I’ll head to the provincial city on your side to settle down!" Ling Feng said.

"Oh, well you could go find my brother, he’s now promoted to deputy director, at the provincial public security bureau, his position is much higher than mine!" Chen Fei said.

"I’d rather not, now I’m just an ordinary fresh graduate, not planning to find any acquaintances for help, relying solely on myself!"

Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "Consider it a side quest, experiencing life with a new identity!"

"You’re something else!"

Chen Fei shook her head helplessly, "Who in the world doesn’t envy your status, but you want to experience an ordinary person’s life!"

...

...

A day later, at the provincial city bus station, a young man with a backpack and a suitcase stepped out of the train station and arrived at the square.

Facing the bustling provincial city, Ling Feng smirked, pondering the start of a new life; what should his first step be?

After thinking about it, he decided to first find a place to stay, so he left the train station with the crowd carrying his suitcase.

Then he found a small inn, where Ling Feng used his new ID to check in, and carried his luggage upstairs.

This time, to delve into ordinary people’s lives, he naturally couldn’t stay at those hotels costing thousands a day; first settle here and then find a place to rent, preferably a shared rental.

After that, find a job, meet more people, and understand the current ordinary people’s ecosystem.

If it’s really as Gu Li said, with various sect followers competing fiercely, Ling Feng believes he’d soon be introduced to join some organizations.

Settled in, Ling Feng took out his phone in the room and started searching for rental information.

The provincial city has nearly ten million people, with an immigrant population exceeding several million, so there are plenty of rental houses.

Finding a few places nearby that were good value, Ling Feng began contacting agents to arrange viewings.

Unexpectedly, during the first visit, the real estate agent gave him a surprise.

The two went to view the property together, and in the elevator, the agent eagerly asked, "Mr. Li, just graduated?"

"Yeah!" Ling Feng nodded.

"Fresh graduates, this is the phase for striving!"

The real estate agent, about thirty-one or two, had a gentle smile on his face. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

After saying that, he immediately changed the topic, "Having just entered society, you may not be very adapted yet, might need some friends or buddies, are you familiar with Puxin Temple?"

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng was stunned, then shook his head, "No, I haven’t heard of it."

"I’m a lay disciple of Puxin Temple, if you’re interested, you can reach out to me in the future, I can introduce you to more friends, which will greatly help your future work and life!" The real estate agent smiled.

"Oh, alright, thanks a lot!" Ling Feng laughed.

The agent smiled slightly, "No need for such formalities, as Buddhist disciples, we speak of cause and effect, meeting each other counts as fate!"

Ling Feng was speechless inside, secretly noting down the name Puxin Temple.

Then the two went upstairs, and after reaching the tenth floor, walked along the corridor to the end at the door of an apartment.

The agent knocked on the door, and soon a young man’s voice came from inside, "Coming!"

The door opened, and a young man with hair resembling a bird’s nest peeked out and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Agent, the tenant is here to view the apartment!"

"Oh, please come in!"

The young man opened the door and returned to his room.

Ling Feng entered and saw that it was a three-bedroom apartment, with three bedrooms and a living room.

The room he was going to rent faced north; the other two rooms were obviously occupied.

For young people just entering society, living in such an apartment is quite economical, since high rent isn’t affordable, splitting the rent among three reduces everyone’s pressure significantly.

Ling Feng never experienced co-renting before and found it quite novel.

Next, the agent opened the room door, "Brother, check out this room, see if it satisfies you?"

Ling Feng looked inside and found the room quite small, with almost nothing besides a bed and a desk, and a wall-mounted cabinet.

He then asked, "For this room, it costs nine hundred yuan per month?"
