Chapter 1059 - 1057: I Need to Step Out for a Moment
"You... how could you do this, what kind of matter is this! The Family Head assigned you to be the teacher for the young group, not to bring trouble to the Xia Family. Do you realize the trouble you’ve caused? His master is Zhang Tianzhen, a top Array Master from the Hidden World. Moreover, Zhang Zheng himself is highly accomplished in formations, considered the successor to Zhang Tianzhen, the future Array Master. You actually hit him—have you thought about the consequences!"
"If Array Master Zhang Tianzhen makes trouble for the Xia Family because of this incident, it would be quite a headache for the Xia Family too. The power of an Array Master is not something ordinary people can imagine. Offending such a top Array Master, no one, including you, can bear such responsibility! Hurry, go and apologize to Zhang Zheng, and get his forgiveness!"
The more Xia Yunshan spoke, the more agitated he became, and his tone grew increasingly harsh. He realized that Lin Feng simply did not understand the gravity of the situation. Since that was the case, he wanted Lin Feng to understand the severe impact of this incident and wanted him even more to hurry and apologize to Zhang Zheng, so he could forgive him.
In Xia Yunshan’s view, Lin Feng was someone from the Secular World who had become a teacher in the Xia Family and should follow the Xia Family’s rules. Moreover, with such a serious incident, Lin Feng should definitely do as he was told, even if it means suffering some grievances. However, he never expected that this was just his wishful thinking, and Lin Feng’s response made him feel like vomiting blood...
"Apologize? Sure, let him come and apologize to my students, and even if he apologizes, I won’t allow him to teach these children. What future Array Master? He can’t even compare to the children I teach, always running to his master when there’s trouble. Can such a person become a master? Ridiculous."
After listening to Xia Yunshan, Lin Feng did not get angry but instead laughed. Faced with the demand to apologize to Zhang Zheng, how could that be possible. This whole issue wasn’t his fault to begin with; why should he apologize? Furthermore, he found the man quite detestable, which made it even less likely!
After saying this, Lin Feng turned around, ready to leave. He didn’t want to talk more with this Managing Elder...
"Lin Feng, stop right there, is this how you address a Managing Elder? Stop right there..." When Xia Yunshan heard Lin Feng’s words, he nearly exploded with anger, thinking, how could Lin Feng, already a teacher for the young group, not consider the well-being of these children? Were such people even qualified to be teachers for the young group?
What angered Xia Yunshan even more was that Lin Feng, after finishing his speech, turned and left, completely disregarding him. It truly infuriated him that someone from the Secular World dared to disrespect him like this. He was, after all, the Managing Elder of the Xia Family. Where could he put his face now?
But no matter how much he shouted, Lin Feng did not stop, which infuriated him even more, turning his face red and his ears crimson. He thought about teaching Lin Feng a lesson physically but really dared not make a move. On one hand, Lin Feng’s fighting capability was formidable—as the Family Head had warned all of them, fearing they would conflict with Lin Feng and suffer losses. On the other hand, the Family Head had secretly told all these old fellows that Lin Feng was a person invited by the Old Ancestor; if they did not want to anger the Old Ancestor, it was best to turn a blind eye to Lin Feng.
In such circumstances, Xia Yunshan was almost driven mad with rage, only able to watch as Lin Feng left and then he too stormed off.
He had already decided to immediately go to the Family Head and report the matter to see how the Family Head would handle it. If the Family Head still didn’t make a clear statement, then what dignity did he have left as the Managing Elder responsible for daily training...
After Lin Feng and Xia Yunshan left, Xia Jianping’s children also left the place, following Lin Feng’s instructions for training. Time was too precious for them, and they did not want to waste it.
While the children trained, speaking of Lin Feng returning to his home, he was about to start making elixirs for the children. Now Xia Jianwu’s children had also joined, and the demand for elixirs was indeed great. However, unexpectedly, before he could start making the elixirs, his phone rang out of nowhere, and even more surprisingly, the call was from Zhu Tao.
"Old Zhu, what has happened?" After connecting the call, Lin Feng asked indifferently. To facilitate contact with the Secular World, he had made some adjustments to the formation inside the Xia Family to receive signals from the Secular World near his room, typically only to chat with a few women at home. Now that Zhu Tao had called him, had something happened at home?
"Young Master, it’s not exactly a problem, but there is a strange thing I want to tell you. Recently, in the past half-month, I’ve felt my cultivation speed has suddenly increased a lot; this is definitely unusual. I feel something is off and don’t know why this is happening."
"Such a thing happened?" Lin Feng heard Zhu Tao’s words and was immediately stunned. The low speed of cultivation in the Secular World was due to the scarcity of Spiritual Energy, an unchangeable fact. In such a scenario, for Zhu Tao to feel a sudden acceleration in his cultivation speed was indeed very unusual.
"It’s definitely like that, not just me, Wan Long also feels the same way, and recently, some highly skilled masters have suddenly appeared in Tianhai City. Some of them have a level of Cultivation I can’t even see through. With so many high-level cultivators appearing in the city, don’t you think it’s abnormal?" Zhu Tao continued, now feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong. That’s why he had called Lin Feng, hoping Lin Feng could help analyze the situation.
"It is highly unusual, how are things now?" After hearing Zhu Tao’s words, Lin Feng immediately furrowed his brow; this situation was indeed too abnormal. Cultivators whom even Zhu Tao couldn’t discern were undoubtedly experts above the S level, possibly even higher in realm than Zhu Tao, maybe even on par with the Old Monster!
"Normally, such people wouldn’t make an appearance in public, yet now many such top-notch masters have appeared in the city. If that’s not unusual, then it would really be bizarre! He too wanted to know what exactly had happened, why so many masters had suddenly appeared.
"The current situation is quite strange, though no major events have occurred, I feel like the number of these masters is still increasing, and there’s a looming sense of foreboding. I don’t understand what their ultimate goal is."
Zhu Tao very seriously recounted the happenings of these days, hoping Lin Feng would understand the situation. However, he suddenly remembered something and immediately added, "By the way, Young Master, something happened at the school a few days ago, and it’s been some days since then."
"This is what happened; that day I was escorting the lady to work and discovered that several masters had entered the school. Later I followed them, wanting to see what these people were doing in the school. Unexpectedly, I was spotted by them. They didn’t make a move, only warned me to leave. The skills of these individuals were no weaker than mine, and without a choice, I could only choose to leave."
After saying all this, Zhu Tao’s mind began recalling the scene, with several S-level masters appearing in the school, which was indeed abnormal. He also wanted to figure out what these people were doing, but since he was spotted, he had no choice but to withdraw.
"School? Nothing happened to Wan’er and others, right?" Hearing Zhu Tao say this, Lin Feng was immediately somewhat anxious. So many supreme masters wouldn’t appear at a school for no reason; they must have some purpose. For now, he couldn’t figure out what these people’s motives were, but as long as Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were safe, it was relieving.
"You can rest easy, the ladies haven’t had any issues, but..." Zhu Tao heard Lin Feng’s concern for the safety of the ladies and immediately started to clarify. Currently, the women were very safe and nothing untoward had happened, so that was indeed reassuring. But he suddenly remembered something else; before he could speak, Lin Feng interrupted him.
"But what?" Lin Feng, sensing something off from Zhu Tao’s words, immediately asked, wanting to know what exactly had happened.
"It was like this; that day, while I was protecting the ladies, I accidentally overheard them discussing something. It seemed that something had happened to some of the girls in the school. As I had to protect the ladies, I didn’t have time to investigate. Now, the feeling I get is that both the entire school and the city are filled with strangeness, as if something big is looming."
Zhu Tao didn’t conceal anything and immediately recounted everything he knew, telling the whole truth without any exaggeration. He indeed felt uneasy, which ordinary people might not notice. But with so many supreme masters suddenly appearing, if they were really planning something, it could be a colossal event. Thus, he had to inform Lin Feng and urge him to prepare early.
"I’ll come back for a visit in these next few days. Just ensure the safety of the ladies, and don’t worry about other things." Lin Feng instructed briefly after hearing Zhu Tao’s explanation, his brow furrowed even more deeply, then hung up the phone. Reflecting on it, he realized he had been here for quite some time and should return for a visit, especially to see what exactly was going to happen in Tianhai. He didn’t want anything untoward to happen to Wan’er and the others.
After hanging up the phone, he went to find Xia Lalan, briefed her on the training situation of the children after his departure, handed over some Elixirs to Xia Lalan, and left a cellphone for easier contact after explaining how to use it. He then used a voice transmission to inform Xia Jianping of his departure for a few days and asked Xia Jianping to take good care of the children’s training.
After handling these matters, Lin Feng finally left the juvenile group and directly found the person who had used the Flying Artifact to pick him up when he first arrived at the Xia Family—Xia Xun.
However, what Lin Feng didn’t expect was that several other people were also here during this visit. But Lin Feng didn’t care about the others and directly said to Xia Xun, "I need to step out for a bit."
