Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1378 - 1376 Solitude

Chapter 1376 Alone

By the time the plane returned to Tianhai City, it was already evening. The setting sun had dyed the sky a fiery red, and as the city lights started to glow, Tianhai lit up brilliantly, showcasing the splendor of a super metropolis. Without anyone noticing, the plane landed in the woods. After disembarking, everyone else dispersed, while Lin Feng led his father and the women back to the villa they had been in before.

As soon as they got back to the villa, Lin Feng immediately arranged for the women to keep his father company for a chat, while he went alone into the kitchen to start cooking. Now that he finally had everyone gathered around him, he wanted to prepare a good meal, ease his father’s nerves, and make him happy.

The women were excited by Lin Feng’s arrangement and immediately started chatting with Lin Yiwen. Ding Wan’er even thought for a moment and directly called Zhang Lan. It wasn’t easy for the family to gather together, and they couldn’t miss such a good opportunity. Hearing Ding Wan’er’s call, Zhang Lan couldn’t stop smiling with joy and rushed to the villa.

When Zhang Lan returned to the villa, she arrived just in time to see Lin Feng finishing the cooking and calling the ladies to bring the dishes to the table. Seeing her son, husband, and the daughters-in-law all present, Zhang Lan’s face beamed like a flower.

"Son, how did you bring your dad back?" After sitting down, Zhang Lan asked Lin Feng with a smile. She was aware of her husband Lin Yiwen’s work as a researcher and knew he was a man of principle, unlikely to leave casually unless something significant happened.

"Isn’t it because of Dad? You can ask him." Lin Feng smiled as he responded to his mother’s question.

"Old man, what’s going on with you?" Hearing her son’s answer, Zhang Lan became even more curious. Not understanding what her son meant, she immediately turned to ask Lin Yiwen, wanting to find out what was really going on.

"Can you please stop asking?" Lin Yiwen felt troubled by his wife’s questioning. It was because of his impulsiveness today that all this trouble occurred. If it hadn’t been for Chu Meng’s timely arrival, he might have been seriously harmed by the opponent. How could he be sitting here otherwise?

"Wan’er, tell me!" Seeing Lin Yiwen reluctant to speak, Zhang Lan grew more anxious to know what had happened, so she turned to Ding Wan’er, someone she trusted completely.

"Mother-in-law, this is what happened..." Ding Wan’er, feeling quite stressed being singled out to explain, reluctantly recounted the events, hoping that father-in-law Lin Yiwen wouldn’t be upset with her.

After listening to Ding Wan’er, Zhang Lan finally understood what had happened. Her face immediately turned unsightly, and she said to her husband Lin Yiwen, "I hate to say it, at your age, soon to be a grandfather, how could you act without thinking? If you hadn’t been so impulsive, none of this would have happened. Thankfully, Chu Meng was nearby and arrived in time, otherwise, you’d be in the hospital now. How could you act so irresponsibly at your age!"

"I didn’t want this either, but I can’t turn a blind eye and do nothing!" Seeing Zhang Lan, Lin Yiwen defended himself. He hadn’t expected there to be bullies at that place, nor did he anticipate such incidents. However, if given another chance, he would still do the same.

Not wanting his parents to argue, Lin Feng intervened, "Mom and Dad, let’s not argue about this anymore. It’s over now, so let it be. Talking about it won’t help. Come on, let’s toast to this reunion!"

"Yes, father-in-law and mother-in-law, let’s toast!"

"Uncle and Auntie, cheers!"

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, we’re celebrating today, let’s not talk about unhappy things, okay?"

...

The women followed Lin Feng’s lead in persuading Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen, urging them to enjoy this rare reunion with happiness.

Moved by her son and daughters-in-law, Zhang Lan decided to let the matter drop and, smiling, raised her glass, "For the sake of my son and daughters-in-law, I won’t hold it against you anymore, come on, everyone, cheers!"

Feeling the focus finally shift away from him, Lin Yiwen also brightened up, immediately lifting his glass and saying to everyone: "Son, your mom and I are waiting to hold a grandchild, you’d better get to it!"

Those words made Lin Feng’s face go black, thinking his dad didn’t know when to keep quiet. The women, hearing Lin Yiwen’s comment, blushed red with embarrassment, lowering their heads, their cheeks burning!

"You old thing, how can you say that in front of the daughters-in-law? Ignore him, ladies, let’s drink." Zhang Lan was also taken aback by her husband’s words, which clearly embarrassed the women, so she took over the conversation to prevent Lin Yiwen from speaking further, fearing it would spoil the mood for celebrating with wine.

"Mother-in-law is the best. Cheers to mother-in-law!"

"Granny, you’re too busy, take a break sometime!"

"I’d love to rest, but I just can’t find the time, maybe later when I have a chance."

"..."

...

Hearing Zhang Lan say that, the women immediately gathered around her, chatting and drinking. The in-laws interacted warmly, almost like mother and daughters, talking about personal matters. The women whispered to each other and then burst into laughter, having a great time.

This left Lin Feng and Lin Yiwen on their own. The two men were happy to see this scene, chatting and drinking as time passed by.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, more than two hours had passed. Unknowingly, Zhang Lan had drunk a bit too much, and so had Lin Yiwen. Both were too happy today and didn’t control their alcohol intake. This made the women very nervous, splitting into two groups to take care of the drunk parents, worried something might happen to them.

Seeing the scene, Lin Feng smiled a bit and then walked out of the villa. Since his parents were taken care of by the women, he didn’t need to worry and wanted to go out for a breath of fresh air.

The woods around the villa were very quiet at this time. Some unknown little insects were flying with the wind. The air carried a faint scent of the sea, and the sea breeze felt very refreshing on the skin. After all, it was already nighttime, and summer had passed, so it wasn’t as hot as before.

After a few steps, feeling bored, Lin Feng opened his Divine Sense to check what everyone was doing. The kids and students were all cultivating in the Spirit Realm, while the Old Monster and other experts were gathered, discussing cultivation matters. Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were wandering by the school lake, seemingly unsure of what to do.

Why is Xia Lalan by herself?

Suddenly, Lin Feng noticed Xia Lalan sitting alone on a tree in the Spirit Realm, lost in thought. Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled. Not knowing what to do himself, and since Xia Lalan seemed available, he decided to chat with her. Thinking this, he moved and vanished from his spot.

Without a sound, he appeared next to Xia Lalan, who seemed deep in thought. Lin Feng softly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah... Lin Feng! I wasn’t... wasn’t thinking about anything." Xia Lalan was startled by Lin Feng’s question, not expecting him to appear here in the middle of the night. She thought Lin Feng would be having dinner with the women and family, so his sudden appearance caught her off guard.

To be honest, she had been thinking about Lin Feng just now. With him suddenly here, how could she not be flustered? After hastily answering Lin Feng’s question, she calmed down and asked, "Weren’t you having dinner with your family? Why are you out here?"

"Don’t mention it. My parents had too much to drink, and Wan’er and the others are taking care of them. I had nothing to do, so I came out for some air," Lin Feng casually replied to Xia Lalan’s question.

"Oh, I see!" With Lin Feng’s explanation, Xia Lalan understood what happened, smiled at Lin Feng, and stopped talking. She sat on the branch with a gentle smile. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to talk; she just didn’t know what to say to Lin Feng at that moment.

Seeing the two just sitting there silently, the atmosphere seemed a bit off. Lin Feng decided to break the ice: "Lanlan, you’ve been in the Secular World for some time now. What do you think of it?"

"No particular thoughts, just that the Secular World is very special and interesting. But I must say, life here is indeed more interesting than in the Hidden World. In the Hidden World, it’s all about cultivation, with nothing else happening. Here in the Secular World, I’ve seen all sorts of surprising things."

Upon Lin Feng’s inquiry, Xia Lalan immediately shared her feelings about the Secular World. It was indeed different from the Hidden World, where life was monotonous and dull. But here, ordinary people’s perspectives differed greatly from those in the Hidden World, leading to many unique occurrences, like bullies and hooligans, and some peculiar individuals.

"Yes, that’s precisely why I brought the kids to the Secular World, to let them experience different things, so their state of mind can grow. Then, when they encounter similar situations in the future, they won’t be unsettled, which is very beneficial for their growth. Especially when they reach a breakthrough, it will make it easier for them," Lin Feng nodded, simply explaining. The children’s current progress made him truly satisfied.

"These kids are really lucky to have you. And not just them; if I hadn’t met you, I’d probably still be stuck teaching those kids, with my strength forever at the Transcendent Realm, never reaching the Infinitesimal Realm. Thank you, Lin Feng!"

After listening to Lin Feng, Xia Lalan nodded. Lin Feng’s teaching methods were completely different from the norm. Under his guidance, the kids now exceeded anyone’s expectations. He also helped her resolve her issues. From any perspective, she felt she should sincerely thank Lin Feng.
