Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 539: Leng Hao Rushed Forward

Lin Feng noticed that Yuan Kun had again stepped forward at the most opportune moment, causing his eyebrows to furrow involuntarily. Every time Yuan Kun spoke or took action, it was just too perfect, giving the impression of being a mastermind. With this thought, Lin Feng reassessed Yuan Kun and realized an issue: Yuan Kun wasn’t an AA-ranked expert but an AAA-ranked one. Why then was Yuan Kun hiding his true strength?

Lin Feng thought it over and felt that everything about this evening was not as simple as it seemed. Therefore, he decided to play it by ear and see how events would unfold. In doing so, he would be able to verify if some of his conjectures were incorrect. With this in mind, Lin Feng once again tugged on Leng Mei’s hand, signaling her not to be impulsive and to sit down and watch calmly. He also gave Leng Mei a very reassuring look, calming her down despite her intense desire to act. If nothing unexpected happened, the following situation would become very interesting...

"I don’t care who you are; if you don’t get involved here, there’s nothing concerning you. The ones I’m targeting are the siblings, Sister Leng Mei and her brother, and that Lin Feng who’s still acting dumb over there as if he doesn’t know how serious things are. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite!" Zeng Xiaolong showed no regard for Yuan Kun’s status, pointing at his nose and furiously cursing. As if being Leng Hao’s senior brother made a difference, he was still just an AA-ranked expert with nothing to brag about, and yet he dared to step in, truly ignorant of the ways of the world!

"You..." Yuan Kun heard Zeng Xiaolong’s outburst, just as he had expected, and wasn’t the least bit angry. This was exactly what he wanted. If he were scorned like this by Zeng Xiaolong, Leng Hao would definitely explode with anger. After all, he was standing up for Leng Hao and Leng Mei. Considering his image in Leng Hao’s mind, Leng Hao would not allow such things to happen and would be unable to hold back from fighting. That’s exactly what Yuan Kun wished for.

However, all these were Yuan Kun’s internal thoughts. On the surface, he maintained a seamless facade of being so enraged by Zeng Xiaolong that he wanted to lash out. Right now, his aim was to secretly fan the flames.

"Senior brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. If anyone should take action, it should be me! Zeng Xiaolong, since it has come to this, there’s nothing more to say. Take this!" Leng Hao, seeing his senior brother scolded for stepping in to protect him and his sister, felt guilty. He knew all too well what kind of person his senior brother was and couldn’t possibly let him take action under such circumstances. If his senior brother did take action, it would surely lead to endless trouble, something Leng Hao didn’t want to see happen.

But Leng Hao felt if he were the one to act, there wouldn’t be any issues. Firstly, being from the Leng Family, if he really took down Zeng Xiaolong, it wouldn’t cause too much trouble. Thus, it was most appropriate for him to act. With this in mind, Leng Hao immediately interrupted his senior brother and, moving as swiftly as an arrow released from a bow, rushed to Zeng Xiaolong’s side to strike the first blow, hoping to gain the upper hand. Once Zeng Xiaolong was taken care of, the rest of his lackeys wouldn’t be a problem.

He, an A-ranked expert, really dared to make the first move? Isn’t he afraid of Feng Qi?

With Feng Qi around, he actually had the nerve to strike first!

This Leng Hao must be tired of living!

...

Zeng Xiaolong’s henchmen were shocked to see Leng Hao dare to suddenly take action, completely taken aback. They hadn’t expected Leng Hao to attack knowing the other was an AA-ranked expert; this was tantamount to seeking death. Everyone knew just how formidable Feng Qi was — none of those present were a match for him. And Leng Hao, a young lad of just seventeen or eighteen and an A-ranked expert, was definitely not on Feng Qi’s level. Initiating a fight would undoubtedly lead to Feng Qi crushing him!

Thinking this, everyone quickly surrounded Zeng Xiaolong, preparing to watch Feng Qi and Leng Hao battle it out. Unless something unexpected happened, Feng Qi would surely defeat Leng Hao quickly, and then take care of Leng Mei after that. In doing so, wouldn’t Boss get exactly what he wanted? Ha ha...

In everyone’s eyes, Leng Hao was no match for Feng Qi. An A-ranked expert challenging an AA-ranked expert was an impossible task, so it was certain that Leng Hao was destined to lose this time!

Feng Qi didn’t bother with pleasantries, throwing a punch directly at the charging Leng Hao, forcing him to the edge. The two then engaged in combat, with Feng Qi not holding back at all, looking for a quick resolution to take down Leng Hao. However, once the fight began, Feng Qi was surprised to find that this teenager, only seventeen or eighteen, was an A level peak master. Plus, it seemed he had been stuck at this peak for some time, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so challenging!

Since that was the case and there was no rush, Feng Qi decided to properly exchange a few moves with him, waiting for Leng Hao to reveal a weak spot before taking him down! With that in mind, Feng Qi’s moves shifted from the aggressive onslaught to a calm and steady engagement with Leng Hao.

"Junior brother..." Yuan Kun’s heart was bursting with joy, but his expression still feigned an attempt to stop Leng Hao. As expected, Leng Hao couldn’t hold back and started fighting. This was exactly what Yuan Kun needed. Leng Hao vs the AA level master Feng Qi—without surprises, Leng Hao would undoubtedly be defeated, then...

Yuan Kun’s mind had already moved on to other things, with the situation unfolding exactly as he had predicted, entirely within his control. As it continued to develop, it would be absolutely perfect. Once Leng Hao ran into trouble, Lin Feng would naturally step forward, which would certainly lead to Lin Feng’s humiliation or even his ruin. Although Lin Feng showed swift movements when treating a patient earlier, he was not likely to be a match for these individuals. Even if Lin Feng did manage to defeat Zeng Xiaolong, the Zeng Family would not let him off. No matter what, Lin Feng’s fate was sealed today!

Yuan Kun knew all too well that the major families had reservations towards each other; they wouldn’t intervene unless the situation got out of hand, and with Lin Feng being an outsider, any actions he took would inevitably lead to enmity with the Zeng Family. Knowing the kind of people they were, if Lin Feng truly crossed the Zeng Family, there would be no good end for him. To put it bluntly, even if Zeng Xiaolong killed Lin Feng today, it wouldn’t matter at all.

Thus, regardless of whether Lin Feng acted or not, there would be no good outcome. He would either be humiliated and taken down by Zeng Xiaolong or, if he didn’t act, Leng Mei would look down on him. If he did act, the Zeng Family would not let him off. In this case, it would be impossible for Lin Feng to be with Leng Mei after today. After the events of today, Leng Mei would surely lose all hope in Lin Feng, and that was exactly what he wanted!

After Lin Feng was dealt with by Zeng Xiaolong, it would be his time to step in. Though he outwardly claimed to be an AA level master, he was in fact a real AAA level master. So, dealing with an AA level master was something Yuan Kun was very confident about. The situation was unfolding according to his script.

After Leng Hao and Lin Feng got into trouble, it would be his time to step up and save Sister Leng Mei. This cliché hero-saving-the-damsel scenario might be overused, but it was effective on any woman. Yuan Kun didn’t expect Leng Mei to accept him right away, as that would be unrealistic. However, by eliminating Lin Feng, his rival, he would achieve his ultimate goal. Of course, if Leng Mei’s attitude towards him softened a bit, that would be even better, and it would mean proposing a marriage through the family later on wouldn’t pose any problems.

Although this would mean offending Zeng Xiaolong, Yuan Kun didn’t care. He believed that if he saved Sister Leng Mei and her brother, Leng Mei would surely not ignore their plight. With the Leng Family’s strong support, even if Zeng Xiaolong wanted to retaliate, he would have to weigh his own influence. Plus, Yuan Kun had well-prepared countermeasures for all of Zeng Xiaolong’s potential reactions. Now, he just waited for the situation to continue developing.

Thinking this, Yuan Kun couldn’t help being pleased with himself. If everything progressed as he envisioned, today’s event would reach a perfect conclusion—Lin Feng would be crippled, and the Leng siblings would be grateful to him. This was exactly what he wanted. The more he thought about it, the more he looked forward to seeing the results, the more he wanted to witness Lin Feng being ruthlessly humiliated by Zeng Xiaolong, feeling utterly satisfied with how the day was unfolding.

However, all this was merely what Yuan Kun wished for in his heart. On the surface, he appeared very concerned for Leng Hao, looking like an honorable senior brother worried about his junior’s safety, giving no hint of his true thoughts. It had to be said, Yuan Kun’s scheming ran deep, and his acting was indeed excellent, deceiving everyone. What he didn’t anticipate was that Lin Feng started to have doubts about him after catching the occasional strange look in his eyes...

"Little brother..." Seeing Leng Hao impulsively rush forward, Leng Mei immediately became anxious. Leng Hao was an A level master, and there was an AA level master on the other side. How could Leng Hao possibly stand a chance against an AA level master? This was practically seeking a beating, and if her brother got injured, how could she face their parents and grandfather? Instinctively, Leng Mei wanted to rush forward and pull Leng Hao back.

But as she got halfway up, Lin Feng pulled her back. Her eyes fixed on Lin Feng, she didn’t understand his intentions. Staring intently at Lin Feng, she hoped he would give her an answer.

"Don’t worry about your brother, he’ll be okay," Lin Feng reassured Leng Mei softly, speaking only loud enough for her to hear. His words radiated a sense of security. His gaze was warm, causing the anxiety in Leng Mei’s heart to ease slightly. Lin Feng even patted her hand, signaling her not to worry. He knew Leng Mei was nervous for her brother, but the current situation was completely under his control, and he wouldn’t let any harm come to Leng Hao.
