Chapter 1031 - 1029: Everyone Goes to the Market
"Have you been before?" Lin Feng nodded, not saying anything else. He now wanted to know if these children had been before, because if these children had, it would be good for them to lead the way. He could go in and try his luck, to see whether he could find what he wanted.
"Teacher Lin, we haven’t even left the Xia Family estate."
"Teacher Lin, we just train every day, without the chance to visit the market."
...
Xia Jianping and the other children replied helplessly. It was not just the market they hadn’t visited, they hadn’t even left the Xia Family estate, and they were also very curious about what the so-called market was really like...
"Is that so, then who has been to the market?" Lin Feng, hearing what the children said and thinking about it, realized it made sense. The children were too young, it was normal for them to have not visited. So he followed up with another question, wanting to know who had been before, because if anyone had, it would make things easier.
"Teacher Lanlan has been, she told us about the market before!" As soon as Xia Jianping heard Lin Feng ask, his mind worked quickly. He immediately answered Lin Feng’s question and then looked at Lin Feng with anticipation, thinking, could it be that Teacher Lin wants to go to the market?
Hearing Xia Jianping’s words, the other children also nodded in agreement on the side. If Teacher Lin wanted to know about the market, they would have to find Teacher Lanlan. Aside from Teacher Lanlan, nobody else had been to the market.
Lin Feng nodded when he heard Xia Jianping’s response, relieved that Xia Lalan had been there before. He waved his hand at Xia Lalan, who wasn’t far away, signaling for her to come over.
Xia Lalan, seeing Lin Feng wave at her, stood up with a puzzled expression and walked over. She didn’t understand why Lin Feng was looking for her, and when she reached where Lin Feng and the children were, she sat down and asked doubtfully, "What’s the matter?"
"Yes, have you been to the market? Tell me." Lin Feng looked at Xia Lalan and asked.
"You’re asking about this? Indeed, I’ve been there. I visited the market not far from the Xia Family. My grandfather took me there when I was younger. That market was rather small; I have not visited the others. The biggest market is located at the center of the four great families’ territories, and it’s a place only super powerhouses can go. It’s surrounded by countless Demon Beasts. Those with low strength simply can’t get through. Only a few people from the Xia Family can make it there."
Xia Lalan, upon hearing that Lin Feng was inquiring about this, didn’t think much of it and casually spoke about the market. These things were not a secret; practically anyone could tell Lin Feng.
"What can you find in the market?" Lin Feng nodded, asking further. He wanted to know exactly what was available in the market. If there was something he needed, he would go have a look.
"The market has everything, good weapons, materials, medicinal herbs, Elixirs, and some exotic items. In short, as long as it is something that can aid in Cultivation, you can find it in the market. However, the quality varies widely. Some of these items even come from Loose Cultivators who’ve ventured into Immortal’s Relics. But it’s all about luck." Xia Lalan answered Lin Feng’s question without much thought but looked at him full of confusion. She didn’t understand why Lin Feng was asking about these things. Could it be that Lin Feng wanted to visit the market?
"Do you want to go to the market?" Considering this, she couldn’t help but ask, eager to know whether Lin Feng actually intended to go there and, moreover, why he would.
"Yes, I do. Take me there once, please." Lin Feng nodded, speaking earnestly. Hearing what Xia Lalan said, he became interested in the market. He had never seen a market specifically for cultivators, and now that he knew about it, he thought it would be good to check it out. It would be the perfect opportunity to get some weapons for the children, giving them the ability to defend themselves against formidable Demon Beasts.
"It’s not a problem to take you once, but what about these children?" Xia Lalan suddenly found herself in a difficult position upon hearing Lin Feng’s request. If it weren’t for these children, she wouldn’t have any problem taking Lin Feng to the market once. But if she went with Lin Feng, who would supervise the children’s practice?
"Teacher Lin, I want to go, too..." At this moment, Xia Jianping couldn’t hold back and spoke up, his desire evident. He really wanted to experience more of the world! He had never left the Xia Family estate and didn’t know what the outside was like. It would be great to broaden his horizons in the market.
"I want to go, too..."
"Teacher Lin, take us with you..."
"We all want to go, please take us with you..."
...
At this moment, other children also spoke up one by one. Like Xia Jianping, they all wanted to see the world, having never had the chance to leave before. Now that Lin Feng was about to depart for the market, they really wanted to go out and see things with Lin Feng.
"Well, let’s take them along too, it’ll be good for them to get some experience!" Hearing Xia Lalan’s words and listening to these children, Lin Feng casually said they should take them along—it was just that simple.
"Ah?..." At Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan was momentarily stunned, having not expected Lin Feng to actually plan on taking these children to the market. How could they do that, with so many people? What would happen if something went wrong?
Yet, she quickly remembered something else. Lin Feng’s training methods were much better than hers. Perhaps this was all related to Lin Feng’s experience. So, she thought the proposal was really worth considering. On one hand, it could broaden the children’s horizons; on the other hand, she could also talk with Lin Feng on the road, seeking advice on how to teach the children better, wanting the children to stand out in the competition in a few months.
Moreover, with her and Lin Feng there, it was unlikely that any danger would arise; they were more than capable of handling average situations. Besides, the Xia Family had shops in the market to protect them, so there should be no problems. Thinking this through, she became more and more convinced they should agree to Lin Feng’s suggestion and take the children for some experience. It could also let them learn about other matters, considering this trip as a type of training...
"Alright, since that’s settled, let’s all go! But I need to report this to the Family Head; otherwise, we can’t leave." After thinking it through, Xia Lalan finally agreed to Lin Feng’s proposal with peace of mind. However, to take the children to the market, it was essential to report to the Family Head and apply for permission. If the Family Head did not agree, there would be no other way.
"Good, go and apply then, I’ll wait here." Seeing Xia Lalan agree, Lin Feng nodded at her, signaling for her to hurry and apply.
Xia Lalan nodded and turned to leave to find the Family Head.
Seeing Xia Lalan go to apply, Xia Jianping and the other children were beside themselves with joy, huddling together and laughing excitedly. They were thrilled at the prospect of Lin Feng actually taking them to the market, and the thought of venturing out to see the world had them filled with immeasurable excitement.
"Time to train!" At this time, Lin Feng threw out this sentence. Rest time was over, training awaited, and it was wasteful not to train when they had so much energy.
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Jianping and the other children stuck out their tongues and hurriedly left the area, following Lin Feng’s orders to train. Meanwhile, Lin Feng stood in place, pondering what items they needed for the trip to the market. He needed to think it all through...
......
On the other side, Xia Lalan quickly found Family Head Xia Yuntian’s office and went straight to him upon seeing him in the room.
"Lanlan, why have you come? What’s the matter?" Xia Yuntian was a bit surprised to see Xia Lalan and casually asked. Why was Xia Lalan not supervising the children and instead looking for him at this time?
"Uncle Yuntian, Lin Feng and I plan to take the children out for some training and also visit the market. What do you think?" Approaching Xia Yuntian, Xia Lalan spoke with a smile, conveying the purpose of her visit in hopes of getting Xia Yuntian’s approval.
"What? You’re going out for training, to the market as well?" Xia Yuntian did not expect Xia Lalan to come to him for this reason and asked in surprise. He had a feeling this suggestion was not Xia Lalan’s idea. She would not normally have such a thought. Beyond any doubt, it must have been Lin Feng wanting to go to the market.
"Did Lin Feng bring up this idea?" he inquired, looking at Xia Lalan. If this idea came from Lin Feng, then there likely was no issue. He had grown quite confident in Lin Feng, recognizing the cultivator’s strength, and felt reassured about Lin Feng’s proposal.
"It was Lin Feng’s suggestion, but I also agreed." Xia Lalan answered, keeping her smile. Indeed, it was Lin Feng’s idea, but she also agreed. She just looked at Xia Yuntian, puzzled, unsure of his intentions.
"I agree! However, you all must be careful. If anything happens to these children, I will hold you accountable!" Xia Yuntian nodded his head, affirming it was just as he had thought—it had come from Lin Feng. Although he had not seen Lin Feng for a while, he was well aware of what was happening on Lin Feng’s side. If Lin Feng was taking these children out, he truly felt at ease. So, he thought it would be good for them to experience the outside world.
With that thought, Xia Yuntian said with a smile, watching Xia Lalan’s smiling face and sending her a meaningful gaze that tickled Xia Lalan uneasily, giving her an unsettling feeling...
"Lanlan, you seem quite enthusiastic about Lin Feng!" Xia Yuntian teased with a smile. Previously, Xia Lalan was the Xia Family’s super genius, beautiful with countless suitors, yet she had never paid any attention to any of them. After the incident, she had stayed with the youth group until now, treating every young male with extreme indifference. Now the mention of Lin Feng brought a smile to her face, and she appeared flustered when scrutinized by him, which was quite intriguing.
"Not at all! I have no relation to him, I’m leaving!" Hearing Xia Yuntian’s comment, Xia Lalan was taken aback and hastily fled from his sight.
Once she had run out, she felt a bit more settled, not understanding why she had reacted that way. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out the reason. In the end, she shook her head, dispelling these thoughts from her mind, and headed back toward the youth group.
