Chapter 1054 - 1052: This Move is Too Clever
"There’s nothing to it, no need to be so surprised, it’s very simple." Lin Feng looked at Xia Lalan, unable to fathom what was so surprising about it, as it seemed quite simple to him, really nothing to be amazed at. After dropping these words, Lin Feng carried Xia Lalan away from the spot.
At this moment, Lin Feng, as if he had turned into a ghost in the darkness, was absolutely untraceable. If not for the vortex of air left in his wake, no one would have known someone had just passed by.
Xia Lalan, cradled in Lin Feng’s arms, was truly terrified at this instant. She couldn’t comprehend the speed of Lin Feng; the only thing she saw was a blur of green, not even a single tree was discernible. She felt her eyes spinning, subconsciously gripping Lin Feng tight, afraid that she might fly out of his embrace. Her eyes immediately closed; she dared not open them again—it was an instinctual reaction...
It didn’t take long before Xia Lalan felt Lin Feng slow down, and she dared to open her eyes. When she saw they had already returned to the vicinity of the Xia Family, she was once again stunned by the sight in front of her, turning into a statue, speechless.
Dozens of miles... in just a moment...
By now, Xia Lalan felt that her brain simply couldn’t keep up. Covering dozens of miles in just an instant, such speed far exceeded anyone’s imagination. She thought, could Lin Feng be an Immortal? Otherwise, how could he possess such heaven-defying speed? Such velocity was probably unparalleled by most in the Hidden World, considering that Lin Feng still appeared under twenty. This man was truly no ordinary person—he was like a Super Demon Beast!
But as Xia Lalan stood there, dumbfounded, she suddenly overheard Lin Feng muttering to himself again.
"Idiot, move, attack from the left."
"You’re not using your sword properly, thrust, thrust at the Super Demon Beast!"
"Quick, step back two paces, thrust at the Demon Beast’s eyes!"
"Be careful of the Demon Beast’s tail, dodge and then thrust at its hind legs."
...
Watching Lin Feng talk to himself, Xia Lalan finally believed what he had said earlier, distance was truly no obstacle for him. It turned out what Lin Feng had said before was all true, it’s just that no one believed those truths.
This... this was truly inconceivable!
Xia Lalan could no longer find the words to describe the shock in her heart. She now realized she couldn’t see through Lin Feng at all. Lin Feng was like a mysterious book; the more she read, the more she discovered an increasing number of unbelievable things. Even now, she no longer saw Lin Feng as a human but as a monster, because a human could not possibly do so many unimaginable things!
Lin Feng, seeing the dumbstruck Xia Lalan in his arms, smiled, shook his head, and carried her to her boudoir. He knew what she was thinking, but he didn’t feel like explaining, as it was pointless. Right now, he had to think of a way to help Xia Lalan with the injuries on her body—that was the important matter at hand.
However, just as Lin Feng was about to carry Xia Lalan into the room, his eyes suddenly swept in a direction, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He continued into the room with Xia Lalan in his arms, not expecting Xia Qingfeng to be leading a few buffoons hiding in the courtyard. Well, if they wanted to hide, let them hide, as long as they didn’t cause any trouble...
...
Xia Qingfeng had nothing to do that evening, so he took a few subordinates out for a walk, all the while thinking about how to deal with Lin Feng and avenge the humiliation from the other day. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. They couldn’t defeat Lin Feng in a fight, and no other methods seemed viable. Initially, he had hoped his uncle would help him take care of Lin Feng, but despite agreeing initially, his uncle had later reneged, which depressed him considerably.
Every time he thought of how Lin Feng had humiliated him in public, he felt as if his heart was ablaze with discomfort, and his expression turned exceedingly ugly. If he couldn’t come up with a way to deal with Lin Feng, he felt like he would go insane with frustration.
"Young Master Feng, we must think of a way to handle Lin Feng, otherwise it will drive us crazy!"
"Yeah, just thinking about that lowly person from the common world makes my teeth itch!"
"Who isn’t frustrated? But who can defeat Lin Feng? What can we do?"
"If we can’t overpower him, can we think of some other method to deal with Lin Feng?"
"..."
...
Xia Qingfeng and his subordinates discussed methods of dealing with Lin Feng. His subordinates hated Lin Feng deeply as well, wishing for his immediate misfortune, but the thought of Lin Feng’s terrifying skills made their hair stand on end. It wasn’t until one subordinate made a suggestion that their attention shifted. If they couldn’t confront Lin Feng directly, then they would find another avenue. They couldn’t believe Lin Feng was without weaknesses.
Xia Qingfeng’s eyes lit up at this notion. It was indeed a good plan, as long as they could embarrass Lin Feng in front of the Xia Family, it would count as satisfying their vendetta. So he immediately agreed to his subordinates’ suggestion and led them to Lin Feng’s residence, hoping to uncover some clues.
But what they didn’t expect was that as soon as they reached the territory of the youths, before they even arrived at Lin Feng’s dwelling, they saw him carrying Xia Lalan to her room. This left them all dumbstruck, having never contemplated such a coincidence would occur. For a moment, they all speculated about what might be happening between Lin Feng and Xia Lalan...
But just as they were stunned, they suddenly noticed Lin Feng glancing in their direction, and they all quickly moved aside. Lin Feng was so formidable—if he found them, another beating would be just miserable. After waiting for a bit and stealthily observing Lin Feng enter the room with Xia Lalan, they finally emerged from the shadows.
"Young Master Feng, this is a great opportunity!" One of his subordinates excitedly said at this moment.
"Speak!" Xia Qingfeng, upon hearing his subordinate’s words, simply uttered one word, not understanding what his subordinate meant.
In fact, not only did Xia Qingfeng not understand, but the other subordinates were also unclear about the meaning. Lin Feng carried Xia Lalan into the room, and to them, this seemed hardly a good thing. Could it be that they should report what might have happened between Lin Feng and Xia Lalan? If it wasn’t that sort of situation, wouldn’t they be making a huge blunder? After all, who was Xia Lalan? None of them dared to offend her!
"Young Master Feng, have you forgotten? Xia Qingjie, the top talent of our Xia Family’s adult division, has returned, hasn’t he? He used to be very fond of Xia Lalan and pursued her relentlessly. What if we leak this news to Xia Qingjie? If Xia Qingjie learns that Lin Feng took Xia Lalan into the room, what do you think he’ll do?" That subordinate said with great pride at this time. This strategy was simply too good—they only needed to spread a piece of news and they could have a formidable fighter deal with Lin Feng. Where else could they find such a good deal!
"Right, this move is brilliant!"
"Genius, it’s absolute genius!"
"A bloodless murder, Xia Qingjie will surely go berserk when he hears this news!"
"Hahaha, this idea is too wonderful!"
...
Upon hearing this, the other subordinates instantly revealed knowing smiles. This plan was simply too good; it was a gift from heaven. Once Xia Qingjie learned about this matter, he would certainly go and kill Lin Feng. By doing this, they would be able to achieve their goal. This was truly fantastic, unbelievably so!
Xia Qingfeng showed a smile upon hearing his subordinate’s words. The cloud of worry disappeared in an instant, and just as the subordinate said, if Xia Qingjie knew this news, the outcome was predictable without even thinking about it—Lin Feng would be in a dire state even if he didn’t die!
"Good, let’s go!"
With this thought, Xia Qingfeng turned around, tossed out a sentence, and then left triumphantly with his subordinates, heading straight for the adult division, planning to tell Xia Qingjie the news. Others might not believe such a matter, but Xia Qingjie certainly would believe his cousin...
However, what they hadn’t anticipated was that upon reaching the adult division, they didn’t find Xia Qingjie. They were told Xia Qingjie had gone out for training again, which left them frustrated and out of chances to deal with Lin Feng.
With no other choice, they had to leave, but they hadn’t taken two steps when an unexpected event occurred!
They saw a young man in black clothes, tall and thin with an extraordinary presence, approaching from a distance, immediately catching their eye. They were all too familiar with this person—wasn’t this truly Kong Haosheng from the Kong Family?
There’s a saying: flowers won’t bloom when eagerly awaited, yet willows planted carelessly grow.
Seeing Kong Haosheng, Xia Qingfeng and the others all laughed. Who in the Xia Family didn’t know that Kong Haosheng was so smitten with Xia Lalan that he was practically obsessed? It didn’t matter that they hadn’t seen Xia Qingjie; seeing Kong Haosheng would do just as well. As long as they told Kong Haosheng this news, Lin Feng would still be in big trouble!
With this thought, Xia Qingfeng immediately called several subordinates over to discuss the next steps. A spectacular show was about to unfold...
Kong Haosheng had indeed come with the elders of his family to conduct business with the Xia Family. The elders went to discuss matters with the Xia Family’s Clan Leader, and he planned to see Xia Lalan. But what he hadn’t expected was that just as he was passing by the vicinity of the adult division, he suddenly overheard a few people chatting. They were actually talking about Xia Lalan, which immediately caught his attention, and he listened carefully...
"Do you know? I just saw Xia Lalan in the juvenile division."
"What’s so surprising about seeing her?"
"Of course it’s surprising, because Xia Lalan was being carried by someone."
"What, for real?"
"Spill it!"
"Of course it’s real. I even saw that person carry Xia Lalan back to the room!"
"My God, who has such nerve!"
"Who else could it be but Lin Feng? I reckon Lin Feng might have already won Xia Lalan over!"
"..."
Under Xia Qingfeng’s instigation, the few subordinates deliberately spoke in this manner. Although not very loudly, it was enough for Kong Haosheng to overhear. As long as Kong Haosheng heard it, their goal would be achieved.
