Chapter 1184 - 1182: Admitting Defeat
"Slap..."
Suddenly, Song Hong slapped Song Ling across the face, and with an incredibly crisp sound, Song Ling was sent flying. A mist of blood wafted in the air as he was flung over ten meters away, before crashing heavily onto the ground.
In an instant, the scene fell silent, without a single sound...
What is the Ancestor doing?
What... What exactly is going on?
Why isn’t the Ancestor hitting Lin Feng, but instead hitting Song Ling?
...
Song Wuya and the rest of the Song Family were stunned at this moment. They never imagined such a thing would happen. They thought to themselves, has the Ancestor gone mad? Song Ling had already been struck to such a state. If he were to strike, it should be against Lin Feng. Why is it that he’s not hitting Lin Feng but instead hitting Song Ling, and with such severity? What... What exactly is going on, why would the Ancestor do this?
Why are they fighting each other?
What does the Ancestor of Song Family mean by this?
This is too strange; why are they fighting amongst themselves?
...
On the other hand, Xia Lalan and the children were also dumbfounded, unable to understand why Song Hong would do such a thing. Conventionally, the Ancestor of the Song Family should be standing up for their family, and if anyone was to take action, it should be against Lin Feng. So why did he send that man flying? This... This situation is just too bizarre, they really don’t understand why he would do this...
At this moment, everyone at the scene was looking at Song Hong, all with a dazed expression. The actions of Song Hong had baffled them; they couldn’t understand why he would do such a thing. Song Hong was the Ancestor of Song Family, and under no circumstances should he have slapped Song Ling away like that. What exactly is the matter?
What was even more incredible happened next. As they stared on in stupefaction, Song Hong slowly walked over to Lin Feng, gave a slight bow, and then spoke to Lin Feng with palpable unease: "I don’t know if you would be willing to forgive this incident. A junior member of my family was ignorant. If there was any offense or conflict just now, please forgive us. If there’s been any misunderstanding, we can discuss it right here. Would you agree to this?"
In Song Hong’s heart, Lin Feng’s status had already surpassed his own. From the previous events, he had determined one thing: that Lin Feng’s strength must be greater than his. What he needed to do now was to resolve this issue as much as possible, to prevent Lin Feng from harboring a grudge against the Song Family because of this incident.
As soon as Song Hong uttered these words, the others almost had their eyes pop out in shock, staring at Song Hong, completely dumbfounded, their minds gone blank...
This... What is the Ancestor doing...?
How could this be? Why would the Ancestor have such an attitude towards Lin Feng?
Is this real or fake? The Ancestor... Why would he do this...
...
Song Wuya and the others of the Song Family were utterly dumbstruck at this point, their eyes wide open, staring at Song Hong, unable to believe that everything that had just happened was real. Song Hong was the Ancestor of the Song Family, a Super Powerhouse of the Divine Change Realm. In the Hidden World, no one had the authority to be treated like this by the Ancestor, yet he was acting so towards Lin Feng. This... How is that possible? It’s just too incredible!
In their eyes, the Ancestor was akin to an Immortal, an almost invincible presence within the Hidden World. Apart from the Ancestors of the other three Prominent Families, he need not give face to anyone. And now, seeing him act so reverently towards Lin Feng, how could they believe it!
But facts are facts, even if they couldn’t believe it, there was no way around it. For a moment, they all turned their gaze towards Lin Feng, trying to understand what was going on. Why would the Ancestor act this way towards Lin Feng? This matter was too shocking; if said aloud, no one in the world would believe it. They were even more puzzled as to why the Ancestor would do such a thing, feeling that he must have lost his mind; otherwise, how could he commit such an unthinkable act...
What is this?
My heavens, Teacher Lin...
The Ancestor of the Song Family offering an apology, this is madness...
...
Meanwhile, Xia Lalan and the children were likewise thoroughly dumbfounded, standing motionless like statues, just as unable to believe that everything before them was real. That was the Ancestor of the Song Family, how could he act like this towards Lin Feng? They thought to themselves, could the Ancestor of Song Family have truly gone mad? Otherwise, how could he possibly act in such a way?
At first, they were worried about Lin Feng, fearing that the Ancestor of Song Family would act against him, but things turned out to be completely different from what they had imagined. Not only did he not engage in a fight with Lin Feng, but he even sent that person flying first, and then showed such respect towards Lin Feng. With such an occurrence, not to mention their confusion about what exactly happened, anyone who would see this would also be at a loss, as it simply made no sense.
But after the shock subsided, Xia Lalan and the children all breathed a sigh of relief and completely eased their minds. Seeing the other party treating Lin Feng this way, they were certain that there would be no fight, and they no longer needed to worry about Lin Feng. They could just ask Lin Feng about what happened afterwards...
Seeing Song Hong act like this, a smile surfaced on Lin Feng’s face as he casually said, "It’s fine, since you’ve said as much, let’s consider the matter closed. Go about your own business."
While others were puzzled, Lin Feng clearly understood why Song Hong did what he did. Upon his arrival here, Song Hong had witnessed him with the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, so such a situation did not surprise him at all. Since Song Hong had already offered his apology so sincerely, Lin Feng was willing to let the matter pass. After all, the other party was the Ancestor of Song Family, and he did not wish to dwell excessively on this issue.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Song Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Feng let bygones be bygones, his heart was filled with joy, for this was the outcome he most hoped for. He wanted to say more to Lin Feng, but realizing the inappropriateness of the setting, he reluctantly abandoned the idea.
"Alright then, thank you! The grand competition is about to start, so we won’t delay your rest any further. Friend, let’s catch up some other time." After respectfully addressing Lin Feng, Song Hong turned around and led all the Song Family members away from the place.
What in the world was that about?
Why would the Ancestor treat Lin Feng like that!
Why did the Ancestor do that today, and even address Lin Feng as ’friend’?
...
The Song Family members following Song Hong away were all in a state of confusion. They had no idea why the Ancestor was so courteous towards Lin Feng. They might have contradicted the Family Head, but the Ancestor was the strongest in the family, the pillar of their souls. No one dared to disobey the Ancestor’s words. Since the Ancestor had commanded so, they could only follow him and leave.
Even so, their minds were filled with all sorts of chaotic questions. What was it about Lin Feng that made the Ancestor treat him in such a manner, even addressing him as a friend? What in the world was going on? They racked their brains but could not understand...
"Wow, I’m so happy!"
"Teacher Lin, you are so awesome!"
"Teacher Lin, how did you manage to make the Ancestor of Song Family act like this? It’s amazing!"
...
After all members of the Song Family had left, the children immediately cheered. They were thrilled beyond words, thinking to themselves that Teacher Lin was incredibly awesome for receiving such treatment from the Ancestor of Song Family, who was a top Super Powerhouse of the Hidden World. Teacher Lin was simply incredibly cool!
Hearing the children’s cheers, Xia Lalan also came back to her senses. The scene she had just witnessed was too shocking. She had never expected Lin Feng to receive such treatment from the Ancestor of Song Family, thinking it utterly incredible. How did Lin Feng manage that? Unable to resist her curiosity, she asked Lin Feng, "What exactly happened?"
She wanted to know the true nature of the event, but for the life of her, she couldn’t fathom why the Ancestor of Song Family would be so respectful towards Lin Feng. Without an answer, she felt like she would go mad, because the scene she had just witnessed was something nobody would believe...
Hearing Xia Lalan’s question, Lin Feng looked at her, smiled faintly, and casually replied, "Who knows? Let’s not worry about it. Come on, let’s have something to eat."
His words were very casual. There was no need for too many explanations at this moment, as if nothing had happened, no need to make a big deal out of it.
Seeing Lin Feng respond that way, while Xia Lalan was somewhat disbelieving, she felt it would be inappropriate to press further. Sitting on the side, she watched Lin Feng and the more she did, the more magical Lin Feng appeared to her, with memories of past events surfacing in her mind.
Meanwhile, the children were still ecstatic, constantly talking around Lin Feng. They were over the moon, praising how impressive Teacher Lin was, making even the Ancestor of Song Family so wary. Their hearts were filled with joy...
On the other hand, after Song Hong had led the Song Family members back to their camp, he immediately dispersed the others, with only Song Wuya following him into a room.
As soon as he entered the room, Song Wuya could not help but speak, "Ancestor, what... what happened today...?"
Looking at the Ancestor before him, Song Wuya couldn’t understand why the Ancestor dealt with today’s incident in such a manner nor why he had such an attitude towards Lin Feng. He really wanted to know the truth behind the events because otherwise, he would not know how to answer if the other Elders in the family asked him.
"What do you think Lin Feng is?" Looking at Song Wuya, Song Hong did not answer Song Wuya’s question directly but instead posed one of his own.
"What kind of person is Lin Feng? He’s just a teacher for the youth group of the Xia Family, a Mortal from the Secular World, what else could he be?" Hearing the Ancestor’s question, Song Wuya was taken aback, not understanding the Ancestor’s intention, and just stated what he knew. However, inside, he found it very strange, wondering what the Ancestor meant by this.
"What you see is not the true reality. This Lin Feng is not an existence you can imagine. To put it plainly, even I might not be his match. Do you understand what I mean now?" Hearing Song Wuya say this, Song Hong shook his head and then spoke very seriously. If it were not for what he had witnessed before, he would not believe Lin Feng could be such an existence, but now that he knew the truth, he did not want Song Wuya to make any mistakes regarding Lin Feng in the future.
