Chapter 1601 - 1584: Formation Master
Chapter 1601 - 1584: Formation Master
"Oh... oh..."
Leng Hao heard Meng Zhu’s words and finally came to his senses, showing an awkward expression on his face. He hadn’t expected to lose his composure like that just now. If it wasn’t for Meng Zhu, he might not have snapped out of it. Staring at such a beautiful girl, it’d be strange if she didn’t mind.
Thinking of this, he was about to take out some spiritual medicine to pay, but when he reached into his pocket, he realized he didn’t have any elixirs or spirit jade. Everything was with his brother-in-law, Lin Feng. Instantly, he felt even more embarrassed, his face turning red, filled with tension. In the end, having no other choice, he could only put down the black jade.
"Sorry, I forgot to bring spirit jade..."
He awkwardly said to Meng Zhu and Meng Changfeng, then turned around and quickly fled. He really didn’t dare to stay there a moment longer, feeling like his heart might pound out of his chest. Meng Zhu’s image was imprinted in his mind like a shadow. Leng Hao had never had such an experience before.
"This young man is quite interesting. Rongrong, now that you’ve arrived, grandpa can’t start up again." Watching Leng Hao flee, Meng Changfeng laughed. He found this young man quite nice. He knew very well the allure of his granddaughter. Other young men would’ve wanted to devour his granddaughter with their eyes, but this young man was shy like a maiden and blushed from a couple of sentences, then directly ran off. He had a positive impression of him.
"Grandpa, why bother with him? I’ll keep you company while you sell things." Looking at her grandpa, Meng Zhu playfully said, not wanting him to focus on other matters.
"Alright, alright, keep grandpa company." Meng Changfeng laughed and didn’t say much more. Having lived to his age, his eyes were discerning enough. He could see that young man earlier was no ordinary person, possessing Infinitesimal Realm strength before twenty. Such a genius was rarely seen. If his granddaughter could end up with this young man, he’d be at ease even if he were no longer around.
Meng Zhu, of course, couldn’t imagine what Meng Changfeng was thinking. Holding her grandpa, she had him sit on a small stool. She then rearranged the items on the street stall, keeping an eye on it while chatting with her grandpa...
Leng Hao, not far away, suddenly realized something. What was he scared of? He hadn’t done anything, just looked at Meng Zhu a few times. Thinking this, he stopped, turned around, and looked at the girl from afar, his eyes filled with an indescribable expression. He felt his heart beating even faster unknowingly.
What’s happening to me?
Feeling that he was acting strange today, Leng Hao stood there pondering this question. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why he was so out of character today. He had an urge, a special desire to be with Meng Zhu!
Could it be... that I’ve fallen for her?
Leng Hao had never experienced any romantic feelings, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t seen them. He was in his youth, and liking girls was perfectly normal! Once he thought of this, everything became clear. His reaction today was due to his feelings for Meng Zhu. He just hadn’t realized it before.
She really is beautiful!
Watching Meng Zhu from afar, Leng Hao didn’t even notice he had turned into a wooden figure again, with only Meng Zhu in his eyes. This feeling was so wonderful, love at first sight. He had never imagined such feelings when he first met Meng Zhu...
......
Meanwhile, Lin Feng was strolling with the kids, not finding anything interesting. Just when Lin Feng felt bored, he suddenly received a call from Ding Wan’er, making him smile slightly.
Casually taking out his phone, he immediately answered it.
"Where are you?"
"Hanging out with the kids over here."
"We bought a couple of interesting things on this end."
"As long as you’re happy."
"..."
...
Chatting with the two women, Lin Feng was in a good mood. He could hear laughter from the three women on the other end, and a happy smile appeared on his lips. So Lin Feng didn’t mind it at all, happily chatting on the phone with Ding Wan’er on the street.
But while Lin Feng was at ease, all the loose cultivators shopping at the market stopped in shock. They all looked at Lin Feng, their eyes shining with disbelief!
This... how could this be!
How can... can his phone work!
What’s going on, this... this isn’t scientific!
...
Many of the Loose Cultivators looked at Lin Feng as if they’d seen a ghost. They were all baffled, thinking that even though they’d brought their phones, they couldn’t use them here. But who would have thought that this young man in front of them could use his and was even talking on it? They thought, how could this be possible? Wasn’t this place supposed to be blocked by formations? How could this young man’s phone still work? It’s just too incredible!
Not only the Loose Cultivators, but the children also stood frozen at this moment, staring blankly at Lin Feng’s phone, as their own phones were out of sorts. Watching Lin Feng, Xia Jianping walked up to Lin Feng, opened his mouth, and asked, "Teacher Lin, everyone else’s phones stopped working, how can yours still work?"
Watching Lin Feng, Xia Jianping felt truly bewildered. In the Hidden World, it was only Lin Feng’s phone that could work, and even here, they had just arrived, and without seeing Lin Feng do anything, his phone still worked. It’s just too magical.
Not only Xia Jianping and the children, but the nearby Loose Cultivators were also watching Lin Feng because they genuinely wanted to know how Lin Feng managed to get his phone to work. Who wouldn’t want to use their phone here? Watching Lin Feng on his phone, they felt so frustrated inside!
Lin Feng hadn’t noticed any of this at first. After he hung up the phone and heard Xia Jianping’s voice, he finally noticed everyone around was looking at him, and realized what was going on. But Lin Feng didn’t care at all about this, he ignored the others, and casually responded to Xia Jianping, "Of course it works, wasn’t I just making a call?"
"Wow, really! Teacher Lin, quickly help me get my phone sorted too." Hearing Lin Feng’s affirmative response, Xia Jianping almost went crazy with joy and immediately asked Lin Feng to help with his phone too. Once it’s fixed, he could call other kids anytime, making it much easier to find them even if they got lost.
"Teacher Lin, I want it too!"
"Teacher Lin, fix mine too!"
Xia Jianwu and the other children saw that Lin Feng could indeed make phones work, and suddenly went wild with excitement. In their phone chat group, they were all friends, keen to see who could discover the most fun things, but were bummed about the lack of phone signal. Lin Feng was really helping them out big time!
Upon hearing the children say this, the people around immediately fixated their eyes on Lin Feng, eager to see how he did it firsthand. If possible, they also wanted to have their phones adjusted; being without phone signal was extremely frustrating—they couldn’t get in touch with family, and their hearts had been overly anxious for a long time. If the phone could be used, it would save them a lot of trouble.
Lin Feng noticed the others’ gazes as well, but he didn’t care. Instead, he picked up Xia Jianping’s phone and tapped it twice—just twice—and Xia Jianping found it usable. Overjoyed, he pushed to the side, and the next child promptly approached Lin Feng... In no time, all the children’s phones were altered.
The children gleefully scampered to a corner with their phones, busy surfing the internet, while Lin Feng, noticing their happiness, couldn’t help but smile himself.
Wow, this is too amazing!
Who exactly is this Teacher Lin?
This guy is definitely no ordinary person; even Zhang Tianzhen’s formations don’t work against him!
...
As everyone around witnessed this, they were all dumbfounded. They never imagined Lin Feng could make phones work so easily. They thought, what an extraordinary skill; it’s utterly confusing. This is the formation set by Zhang Tianzhen, Earth’s only newly elevated Formation Master, and he managed to crack such a formation. Who is this young man, really? It’s terrifying!
At this moment, the way people looked at Lin Feng changed completely. They knew well what Lin Feng’s action signified. Although they also wanted Lin Feng’s help to adjust their phones, none of them dared to ask. In their eyes, Lin Feng had already become an unimaginable being placed high above them.
Lin Feng noticed the glances from around too and smiled slightly. To him, this was just a minor episode. He then let the children go play separately, while he went to find the three women, intending to see what interesting things they had come up with.
After Lin Feng left, on the other side, in a simple restaurant, another scene was unfolding.
A thirty-something-year-old young man, clad in a blue long robe, long hair tied up with a hairpin, exuding a hint of Daoist charm, was dining with several people. The accompanying diners were dressed in luxurious clothes, clearly not ordinary Loose Cultivators.
"This time, if it weren’t for your master taking action, no one could have arranged such a grand formation."
"Indeed, your master is Earth’s sole Formation Master, truly admirable!"
"Having come here and witnessing your master’s handiwork firsthand, I am deeply impressed!"
...
The accompanying diners were Family Heads from several small Prominent Families within the Hidden World, and the young man they were hosting was none other than Zhang Fahua, the second disciple of Formation Master Zhang Tianzhen. To them, it was impossible to meet Zhang Tianzhen, but being able to invite Zhang Fahua was already a great delight. If they could please Zhang Fahua, and invite him to their family after the meeting, it would be enough to excite them. Naturally, they spoke in flattering terms when talking to him.
"Of course, my master’s level is beyond anyone’s imagination. For my master, setting up this region’s formation is extremely simple. There’s only my master in the world capable of such a feat; others are not worthy of comparison to my master."
Hearing their praise for Lin Feng, Zhang Fahua was even happier, and while verbally speaking humbly, his face was full of pride. Being a disciple of his master was truly impressive; even here for just a couple of days, he had been dining around, demonstrating his master’s excellence in everyone’s eyes. People were always reverent towards him, and experiencing this flair was utterly satisfying. Reflecting on his past times spent practicing in seclusion with his master, he thought those days might as well have been wasted.
