Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 545: Visiting the Night Market

What is my sister thinking, and why on earth has she taken a fancy to Lin Feng of all people, not to mention anything else, just Lin Feng’s age alone makes him so much younger than my sister, and his social status is even less worthy of her. My sister, such a smart person, what... what is going on here, how could she be so taken with this pretty boy Lin Feng? This... this is simply impossible, so why is it? Leng Hao racked his brain but couldn’t figure it out.

Suddenly, a sentence Leng Mei had just said popped into Leng Hao’s head.

Lin Feng is far more formidable than him!

How... how is that possible! How could Lin Feng be stronger than him, that’s just impossible!

Leng Hao flat out didn’t believe such a thing was possible, he was a cultivation genius said by his master, having reached the peak of A-grade at just seventeen years old. According to his master, he was very likely to become a peak AAA-grade master by the age of thirty. My sister says Lin Feng is more formidable than him, this... this is simply impossible!

But if my sister says so, then it must be true because she has never spoken in exaggerations. Could it be that Lin Feng has something else that others don’t know about, that he truly is a master?

A French teacher, a medical expert!

If an average person could achieve these two things, that would already be commendable, and if in addition, Lin Feng is a superb master, then he really is no ordinary person!

There must be something else about Lin Feng that my sister knows, which is why she was moved by him, but Lin Feng just hasn’t revealed it yet. So at first, seeing only his background, I naturally assumed Lin Feng was a gold-digger after the Leng Family’s fortune, but anyone who could move my sister’s heart is certainly not a mere mortal, so Lin Feng must indeed have other trump cards!

Leng Hao now faintly felt that Lin Feng was definitely not as simple as he had initially thought because he trusted his sister’s judgment. Since my sister had boldly made affectionate gestures towards Lin Feng in front of him, it meant she had recognized and accepted Lin Feng, and that slight smile of happiness on her face spoke volumes of Lin Feng’s place in her heart.

With this thought, Leng Hao began to carefully recall everything since Lin Feng first appeared, finally confirming one thing, Lin Feng had never said or asked for anything. Even after treating Grandpa Meng, he didn’t ask for anything. If Lin Feng really were a pretty boy after the Leng Family’s resources, how could he be indifferent to all those benefits?

It seems I had been subjective in my judgment upon seeing Lin Feng’s basic information at first. If only I could ask my sister for details. But by the time Leng Hao thought to ask his sister, he found that she and Lin Feng had already disappeared into the crowd, leaving him with no choice but to shake his head helplessly and stand there in place.

If Lin Feng is more formidable than I am, then what kind of master is Lin Feng? If he truly is a master, then...

A voice! Yes, that voice!

Leng Hao’s eyes lit up, recalling the voice that had echoed in his mind during the dinner that night, indeed very similar to Lin Feng’s voice. Initially, he was somewhat skeptical, but later he refused to believe Lin Feng was a master, so he dismissed it. Now, thinking back, there were only a few people in the room, could it be... could it be that it was Lin Feng who had helped him?

It’s possible, very possible!

If that’s really the case, then my sister being with Lin Feng isn’t such a bad thing at all. Having him protect my sister would certainly set one’s mind at ease. Leng Hao’s impression of Lin Feng had slightly changed by now, at least he wasn’t classifying him as a pretty boy anymore, but he still felt Lin Feng wasn’t quite the right match for my sister. With this thought, Leng Hao resolved to have a thorough talk with his sister when he had the chance...

After thinking for a while, Leng Hao also found it boring and, watching the crowd in front of him, remembered that he hadn’t strolled through the night market in a long time, so he decided to wander in, and with that, he melted into the bustle of the night market.

......

Lin Feng and Leng Mei entered the night market and immediately felt the lively atmosphere, truly fascinating. The night market was crowded with too many people, not just vendors, but all sorts of eating, drinking, and entertainment, which Leng Mei hadn’t seen in a long time.

"Lin Feng, let’s get our fortunes told." Upon seeing an old man with a divination stall in the distance, Leng Mei suddenly got the whim to drag Lin Feng over for some fortune-telling fun.

"Sure," Lin Feng agreed without any hesitation. He was out to have fun with Leng Mei today, and as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered. Although he knew well that these so-called fortune tellers were often swindlers looking for an easy meal, Lin Feng didn’t care in the slightest. If it really came down to it, the Innate Divination Technique he had learned from his cheap master held some credibility. Though he was far from reaching his master’s awe-inspiring level, he still had an accuracy rate of about seventy to eighty percent.

The two of them went straight to the divination stall not far away, and noticed a signboard that read "Heavenly Secret Prognosticator" right away. Lin Feng instantly felt that it was quite interesting—he hadn’t expected to see a stall boldly claiming such a title nowadays.

"What would you like to know?" The old man saw them sit down and took the initiative to ask.

"Marital prospects!" Leng Mei blurted out without much thought, but her eyes took a quick glance at Lin Feng before relaxing upon seeing his expressionless face.

The old man took Leng Mei’s right hand very formally, examined it carefully, and also scrutinized her face. Moreover, he stealthily used the corner of his eye to size up Lin Feng before slowly starting to speak.

"Your marital prospects are very good," began the old man after inspecting Leng Mei’s palm. "According to your palmistry, you are destined for wealth and nobility, and you will definitely continue to enjoy a life blessed with good fortune and longevity. Your future relationships will surely be as enduring as metal and stone..." The old man launched into an effusive spiel, his words flowing like a dazzling cascade, yet devoid of any substance—merely relying on a glib tongue and keen observation to casually bamboozle. In the end, his speech was full of pleasant platitudes interspersed with some nebulous and ambiguous predictions of trials and tribulations—enough to bewilder most people.

"Thank you for your guidance," Leng Mei said after listening to the old man, a hint of a smile flashing across her face. She gave Lin Feng a meaningful glance and then handed a hundred yuan to the old man before continuing to stroll away, arm in arm with Lin Feng.

"I wanted to say he’s a swindler," Leng Mei couldn’t help herself and finally spoke up. The old man’s spiel had no chance of fooling her, but seeing the effort he put into his sales pitch, she still gave him a hundred yuan. She felt quite impressed with such swindlers-for their ability to talk nonstop for ten minutes without repeating themselves must indeed be hard work.

"Actually, I knew that too, but I’m out with you today, and nothing is more important than your happiness. That’s why I didn’t call him out. If you’re really interested, I’ll read your fortune sometime when we’re free," Lin Feng explained his thought to Leng Mei, knowing that her visit to the fortune teller was just a spontaneous act. As long as Leng Mei was happy today, that was what mattered most to him.

"You know how to tell fortunes?" Hearing that Lin Feng knew how to read fortunes, Leng Mei reacted with surprise. She had never imagined Lin Feng was adept at such things, gazing at him with wide-open eyes.

"Mhm, I learned a bit of the Innate Divination Technique from my master, just the basics," Lin Feng briefly clarified. Seeing Leng Mei’s astonished expression, with her big, beautiful eyes, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. He had been with Leng Mei for quite a while but had never seen this look on her face before. However, he thought it was nice—Leng Mei had lost some of her icy aura and adopted more of the warmth and grace of an ordinary woman.

"Then it’s settled, I’ll have to see this for myself sometime. Let’s go over there and take a look," Leng Mei suggested after hearing Lin Feng’s words, feeling reassured. She had been curious about Lin Feng’s master for some time, but she knew that some questions shouldn’t be asked. If Lin Feng thought she should know something, he would naturally tell her. Leng Mei wasn’t in any hurry about this. Suddenly, her curiosity piqued by a crowd gathering in the distance, she quickly pulled Lin Feng in that direction.

"Okay," Lin Feng replied, following Leng Mei toward the crowd. Seeing that she was in a good mood, he felt it was exactly what he wanted, and so he walked on with her.

Approaching the edge of the crowd, they discovered a ring toss stall at its center, surrounded by many onlookers but with few participants. However, Leng Mei saw a plush monkey inside that she took a liking to and tugged at Lin Feng’s arm.

"I like that monkey. Win it for me," Leng Mei requested with a slight blush, her voice still cool but with an undertone of coquettishness. She had never gone shopping with any man before, and it was only today, while out with Lin Feng, that she gradually realized what it felt like to be in love. The sensation was so warm and joyful that she couldn’t help but ask Lin Feng to win the plush monkey she liked, which also happened to represent her zodiac sign, and indeed, the plush monkey was quite endearing to her.

"That’s easy." Lin Feng said and walked up to the stall, took out ten yuan for ten rings, and casually threw them. One ring perfectly ensnared the plush monkey Leng Mei liked, drawing envious glances from the onlookers. Amidst their admiration, Lin Feng handed the plush monkey over to Leng Mei.

"It’s yours now. So, you were born in the Year of the Monkey, huh? I’ll carve one for you later. Let’s go somewhere else," Lin Feng said, seeing how delighted Leng Mei was made him very happy too. To be honest, he hadn’t felt such happiness in a long time. Since returning to Tianhai, there had been no opportunity for such leisurely strolls. However, seeing Leng Mei’s cheerful state was truly pleasant, and watching her usually cold face light up with a faint smile again, Lin Feng felt a great sense of fulfillment.

Arm in arm, they moved on to explore other places, when suddenly, Lin Feng noticed a candied haw stall not far away and was instantly filled with childlike glee. He quickly pulled Leng Mei over to the stall.
