Chapter 456: I Am an Immortal, But You Must Keep It a Secret

Panic continued to spread.

Everyone's eyes fell on the twenty-sixth floor.

There were two children in the room. How would he save them? How could he?

If he took both children, how would he even get back down?

Inside the room, Ning Fei rapidly searched for bedsheets and rope. He needed to tie the two children to himself in the shortest possible time.

"Mister, my younger sister is small and light. You should take her down," the little boy said as he watched Ning Fei bustling about.

"You don't need to save me. You won't be able to carry two people."

Off to the side, the little girl kept crying out, "Brother!"

"Brother!"

Ning Fei glanced at the little boy. This seven-year-old child was far calmer and more composed than he had imagined.

The boy crouched halfway down, looked at his sister, and said softly, "Yin Yin, you have to be good. You have to listen to Mom and Dad."

"Brother might not be able to stay with you anymore."

This scene moved even Ning Fei.

The little boy was indeed very smart.

Carrying two people down was exponentially more difficult than carrying one.

At that moment, Ning Fei told the boy, "Don't worry. I'll get both of you out."

"You're very brave, little guy."

Even as he spoke, Ning Fei's movements didn't slow down.

He hoisted the boy onto his back, scooped the little girl into his arms, and used the bedsheets to tie them both securely against his body.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Ning Fei asked.

"I'm Lin Sen, and she is my younger sister, Lin Yin,"

Lin Sen said proudly.

Ning Fei chatted with Lin Sen to distract him.

The temperature on the twenty-sixth floor was rising rapidly. The sound of shattering glass and popping wood echoed endlessly. Coupled with the billowing thick smoke, anyone would be terrified in a situation like this.

"Mister, are you an immortal?"

Lin Sen asked.

Ning Fei thought for a moment, and for the very first time, he spoke these words:

"Yes, I am an immortal. But this is a secret, so you have to keep it for me."

As he spoke, Ning Fei stepped out onto the balcony.

"There he is!"

The moment Ning Fei appeared on the balcony, the crowd gasped in shock.

Thick black smoke surged into the sky, and the footsteps of death drew ever closer.

The firefighters wore determined expressions.

Netizens watching the live stream covered their mouths in horror, terrified they might cry out.

What would Temple Master Ning do next?

How could he save those two children?

Everyone felt this was an utterly impossible task.

Many were already mourning Ning Fei in their hearts.

Right then, Ning Fei rolled up his right sleeve.

On his wrist sat a cold-looking metallic device.

The high-tech Flying Tiger Claw.

This was one of the earliest items he had won from the lottery draw. Its function was simple: it fired a steel cable to latch onto an object, then automatically retracted, pulling him to wherever the claw had hooked.

He hadn't used it while climbing up earlier because the flames were too intense, making the risk factor too high. Furthermore, he was worried something might go wrong; after all, the Flying Tiger Claw required some time to readjust the steel cable inside after each use.

But now, it was perfectly suited for the job.

Holding the two children, Ning Fei stood on the balcony.

The next moment, he stepped onto the very edge.

This terrifying scene made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

What was Temple Master Ning doing? Was he going to jump?

From this height, even an immortal would die from the fall!

The only way out was to fly!

Did he think they were filming a movie? How could anyone actually fly?

Then what? He couldn't just stand there and wait to die.

He should climb the stairs to the roof and stall for time. Didn't the reporter just say a helicopter was on its way!

How could a helicopter be deployed that fast? The fire would spread up there in no time!

The more anxious the netizens grew, the more agitated they became. Everyone stared unblinkingly at Ning Fei through the thick smoke.

At that moment, Ning Fei extended his right hand, carefully aiming at the air conditioning unit on the adjacent building.

The distance between the two buildings was about 15 meters—an incredibly wide gap.

Then, Ning Fei fired the Flying Tiger Claw.

The Flying Tiger Claw precisely hooked onto the metal bracket of the outdoor AC unit, wrapping around it to lock tightly into place.

Ning Fei gave it a hard tug to ensure it was secure.

The netizens watched this scene, completely dumbfounded.

Was that a steel cable?

It looks like Temple Master Ning's Flying Tiger Claw!

Oh my god! Temple Master Ning still had this trick up his sleeve!

He already had this planned out while he was climbing the building earlier!

Yeah, Temple Master Ning has always been very thorough.

While everyone was exclaiming in shock, Ning Fei activated the retraction function of the Flying Tiger Claw.

He leaped into the air, flying between the two high-rises with the two children in tow.

This scene was captured by many photographers and reporters, and witnessed by countless people.

The visual impact left everyone reeling, unable to calm down for a long time.

He was actually flying!

Was this scene even real?

Doubt rippled through the minds of many.

Meanwhile, inside the Wenxin Garden Community, people began to cheer loudly.

Even among the reporters nearby, applause and cheers rang out endlessly.

Many reporters eagerly raised their microphones, broadcasting what had just happened.

"I am Tong Li, a reporter for Chu City News. As everyone just saw, Temple Master Ning has successfully rescued the two trapped children..."

"I am Ma Yu, a special frontline reporter for the entertainment section. What happened today has completely shattered everyone's common sense! Scaling a blazing high-rise bare-handed, using a steel cable to fly to another building with children—everything Temple Master Ning did today truly gave everyone a massive surprise!"

"This is the Chu City Morning Post..."

Countless media voices traveled along invisible networks, spreading across the entire country.

Many people were already moved to tears.

He did it!

That man had completed a nearly impossible task.

Ning Fei put away the Flying Tiger Claw and climbed over the AC unit onto the balcony of this apartment.

Due to the massive fire, the residents of this building had already been fully evacuated.

Ning Fei walked into the apartment and set Lin Sen and Lin Yin down. Lin Sen immediately went over and grabbed Lin Yin's hand.

"Yin Yin, the immortal mister saved us. We're safe,"

Lin Sen said to his little sister with a smile.

Then, Lin Sen gave Ning Fei a deep bow.

"Immortal mister, thank you for saving us."

A seven-year-old child bowing like that was rather comical, but Ning Fei could sense the boy's earnestness.

"Lin Sen, you are very brave. You're a hero."

Ning Fei praised him.

Afterward, Ning Fei led the two children outside.

At that moment, two firefighters rushed up the stairs. They took the children from Ning Fei's hands, their eyes sparkling with pure admiration as they looked at him.

The eyes of these two tough men were actually a little red.

Looking at their expressions, Ning Fei felt like they might rush over and kiss him at any second.

"Temple Master Ning, are you alright?" one of the firefighters asked respectfully.

"I'm completely fine. Taking care of the kids is what's important."

Ning Fei waved his hand and replied with a smile.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, the firefighters' reverence for Ning Fei grew even deeper.

He had just done something absolutely earth-shattering, yet he remained as calm as still water. His Realm was truly profound!
