Chapter 1025 - 1023: How could a phone call be made?
"Teacher Lin, when are we going to train?" Xia Jianping cautiously asked after devouring dozens of delicious skewers of barbecue. Although the barbecue was tasty, he did not want to neglect training, as increasing strength was the most important thing.
"Right now is the time to rest. We train when it’s time to train, and we barbecue when it’s time to barbecue. Just follow my arrangements," Lin Feng responded casually, nodding at Xia Jianping’s words.
Although training was important, the children’s health was too. Even oppressive training required relaxation and rest. These children had previously been in a state of overload; even with Elixirs and True Qi to support them, their mental state could become weary. A proper adjustment would be more beneficial for their future progress, so he had no intention of making them train right now, instead letting them take this time to recuperate.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s response, the children understood why he had brought them for a barbecue. They sincerely liked Teacher Lin, feeling that this educator, who had suddenly appeared in their lives, truly cared for them. They were overjoyed to have met such a teacher.
Then the children surrounded Lin Feng, waiting for his grilled meat while starting to chat with him...
"Teacher Lin, what is the outside world like?"
"It’s nothing special, just a lot of skyscrapers, cars, planes, and things like that."
"Cars, planes? Skyscrapers?"
"Here, see for yourselves!"
"What is this?"
"It’s a phone. Look at these pictures!"
"Wow, so that’s what the outside world is like!"
"Teacher Lin, how come your cooking is so good?"
"If you cooked for over a decade, you’d be able to cook delicious meals too."
...
These children, knowing Lin Feng came from the Secular World, were curious about what it was really like. They had grown up in the Xia Family and had no idea what the outside world was like. Later, when Lin Feng handed his phone to the children, they finally grasped what the outside world was like. Although they very much wanted to see it, the children only thought about it. It was nearly impossible for someone from the Xia Family to leave, and once they did, they wouldn’t return. Thus, they remained content with their thoughts, preferring a pleasant life to becoming strong.
They then continued chatting with Lin Feng about various other topics. Lin Feng was open and forthcoming, which left the children continuously amazed. Occasionally, he cracked a few jokes, eliciting bursts of laughter and cheer...
While Xia Lalan and Xia Jianwu’s children were walking by, they saw Lin Feng happily chatting with the children but didn’t say anything. However, as they were about to leave, suddenly a tantalizing aroma wafted through the air, making them all stop in their tracks...
"Why does it smell so good!"
"It’s so fragrant, what is that smell?"
"Oh my, what on earth is that? It’s too delicious!"
...
At this moment, Xia Jianwu’s children were stunned, everyone smelled the intensely fragrant aroma permeating the air; it was the first time they had ever smelled such an alluring scent. Their noses twitched uncontrollably as they couldn’t help but salivate, wondering what this smell was and why it was so irresistible!
What was this smell?
Simultaneously, Xia Lalan also smelled the savory scent and couldn’t figure out what it was. Her immediate thought was that this aroma must have been from something Lin Feng had done since such a scent had never occurred before in the Xia Family.
From a distance, she indeed saw Lin Feng grilling skewers over charcoal, and the delicious smell was coming from those skewers. Xia Lalan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the barbecue Lin Feng had prepared for the children smelled too wonderful; she had never experienced such delicious food herself. Smelling the aroma alone stirred her cravings. She could not understand how such simple skewers could emit such an enticing scent; Lin Feng was indeed remarkable.
"Barbecue! If only I could try some!"
"Yeah, we’ve all had barbecue before, but this barbecue is clearly different!"
"Oh, I envy them so much, they can eat barbecue without having to train, why don’t we have that kind of luck!"
Xia Jianwu and the others clearly saw Lin Feng grilling skewers, their eyes glowing green with envy and jealousy. The delicious scent of the barbecue was so tantalizing, they could only smell the aroma and swallow their saliva. It made their hearts itch with desire, wishing they could rush over and devour all that grilled meat! If only they could also eat such barbecue, the more they thought about it, the more depressed they became, losing all interest in training, their minds completely occupied by the barbecue, their eyes fixed on Lin Feng’s grill.
But since Xia Lalan remained silent, none of them dared to approach Lin Feng, a situation that left them itching like a cat had scratched them, desperate to dash over and steal a couple of skewers to try...
"Shut up! Behave yourselves!" Xia Jianwu, upon hearing these children’s comments, immediately darkened in expression and scolded them. He was genuinely angry now. It was obvious that his subordinates had grown grass in their hearts and had no mood for training. This situation infuriated him. Although he also liked food, he valued strength more. Only with enough strength could he properly teach Xia Jianping a lesson during the monthly comparison. Those who only knew how to eat would never become strong.
When the children heard Xia Jianwu’s angry words, they all snapped back to reality, looking at Xia Jianwu in confusion, not understanding why he was so furious. They just wanted to eat some barbecue; it didn’t need to be such a big deal...
"Let’s go, to the training ground." Seeing that these children were already tempted, Xia Lalan finally spoke up. She didn’t want her students running off to eat barbecue, as that would be too embarrassing for her, making it impossible to speak with Lin Feng. So, she had to lead the kids away.
But as they walked, she couldn’t help but look back at Lin Feng, feeling a tug in her heart. It wasn’t for any other reason; she just found the aroma of the barbecue too irresistible, but now she had to focus on taking the children to the training ground, setting aside those thoughts.
Nevertheless, today she witnessed another skill of Lin Feng, which was his cooking. Who could have imagined that Lin Feng’s culinary skills were this impressive? Just a simple barbecue and the aroma spread hundreds of meters, the scent alone made you salivate. No one in the Xia family could match this, and she even doubted that anyone in the Hidden World could do this.
Moreover, she had also heard something: Lin Feng had recently led the children to challenge the youth group, even the prodigy Xia Qingfeng was beaten by Lin Feng without the ability to fight back, ending up like a pig’s head. Clearly, Lin Feng’s strength far exceeded anyone’s expectations! Xia Jianping’s children improved drastically under Lin Feng’s guidance, and she was starting to panic, unsure what the outcome of the monthly comparison would be.
As Xia Lalan led the children away, Lin Feng glanced over but said nothing and continued chatting with Xia Jianping’s children, the atmosphere harmonious with the children’s laughter occasionally filling the air.
Throughout the afternoon, Lin Feng filled Xia Lalan’s mind; she kept recalling everything that had happened since Lin Feng’s arrival, realizing more and more that he wasn’t as simple as she had imagined, and didn’t seem like someone who was all talk.
Super intensive training methods, alchemist, slaying the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger, two Great Demons ceasing their fight...
Everything that had happened during this time replayed in her mind; the more she thought about it, the less she understood Lin Feng, realizing that none of this was normal, all these unbelievable achievements that others could not accomplish, Lin Feng did them all, giving her a new perspective on him, although still somewhat unclear.
As night fell, Xia Lalan, after much deliberation, decided she needed to talk with Lin Feng. She truly wanted to know the details of Lin Feng’s background, especially with the monthly competition approaching, there were things she needed to discuss with him.
Leaving her room, she walked toward Lin Feng’s residence, but when she was not far from his window, she suddenly heard some unbelievable words...
"You all wait for me at home, I’ll come back to see you when I have time."
"It’s pretty good here, everything is not bad."
"How’s everything back home? Oh, good, you all are learning how to cook?"
"Braised lion’s head, eh? That’s easy, do it like this..."
Lin Feng’s room was filled with voices talking about family matters, including cooking tips, and it was evident that Lin Feng was relaxed, simply chatting...
How could this be possible, how could Lin Feng be making a phone call?
It wasn’t until she confirmed himself that Lin Feng was on a call did Xia Lalan believe it was real, suddenly standing frozen like a wooden statue, her face filled with disbelief. Having grown up in the Xia family, she certainly knew a lot about it. Normally, phone signals simply couldn’t get through; communicating with the outside Secular World had to be done through the family’s special Spirit Jade. Besides that, there were no other means.
Yet what others couldn’t achieve, Lin Feng did, and he was even using the phone to chat, a situation too strange. How was Lin Feng managing to contact the outside world through a phone, with the signal blocking around the family’s perimeter, how did Lin Feng solve it?
At this moment, Xia Lalan was truly stunned, her mind completely blank. She didn’t even know how to express her shock, as this was beyond her understanding, and not just hers; it was likely no one in the Xia family would believe such a thing could happen.
As Xia Lalan stood there dazed, Lin Feng sensed her presence outside and quickly wrapped up his phone call, appearing by the window in a blink.
