Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 572: It’s My Fault! (Fourth Update)

"Bang!"

Lin Feng applied force, and Leng Hao flew backward several meters, coming to rest against the wall. Lin Feng didn’t want to lay a hand on Leng Hao, but he was forced into action, left with no choice.

Impossible! Impossible!

No matter what, Leng Hao couldn’t believe that Lin Feng could be so formidable. As an AA-grade peak master, he couldn’t even make Lin Feng budge. It must have been a moment of carelessness just now. No, he had to make Lin Feng leave!

With that thought, Leng Hao charged again, this time putting all his strength into his fist, aiming to seriously injure Lin Feng with one punch.

"Whoosh!"

This punch was even more powerful than the last, the sound and momentum far greater, and a faint layer of air seemed to be protecting his fist. Any discerning onlooker would be astonished, for this was a sign of someone on the verge of breaking through from AA to AAA grade!

"Bang!"

Without exception, Lin Feng caught the punch again, then pushed Leng Hao away.

"Thud!"

Leng Hao was cornered against the wall by Lin Feng. He stood there completely dumbfounded, staring fixedly at Lin Feng, unable to believe what was happening...

What... what level of master was Lin Feng? This was too terrifying. With just one hand, he had blocked the full-force punch of an AA-grade peak master. This wasn’t humanly possible—no human could do such a thing!

Now, Leng Hao fully understood that he and Lin Feng were not on the same level at all. As for how much stronger Lin Feng was, he had no idea. At first, he thought his first punch failed because he had been careless, but on the second, he had used all his strength and Lin Feng had still stopped it effortlessly. This could only mean that Lin Feng was a master far superior to him. Otherwise, it couldn’t be possible!

Leng Hao was all too familiar with the ways of the Cultivation World. His S-grade super master mentor had made it clear to him when he first entered the Martial Arts Sect: ordinary cultivators needed decades to reach AA grade. Highly talented individuals might take less time, but only relatively speaking. His mentor had said, becoming an AA-grade peak master before age 25 on one’s own merits was the mark of a genius among geniuses, except for those from the four Prominent Families, who could literally pile up treasures to produce a super master.

But how old was Lin Feng? He looked just a few years older than himself, and yet he had the power to utterly disregard an AA-grade master. This indicated that Lin Feng was at least AAA grade, or even higher!

Heavens! How... How could this be possible? How could Lin Feng be so incredibly strong, so impossibly powerful!

How could there be someone like Lin Feng in the world, a super, heaven-defying master who’s completely beyond the Cultivation World’s understanding? How could anyone reach such a realm at his young age!

Looking at Lin Feng, Leng Hao was now utterly agape with shock, unable to even begin expressing the enormity of his astonishment...

"Leng Hao, I had hoped that by having National Hand Chen deliver the message to you, you would come to realize the truth. Yet, you remain obstinately ignorant. Do you think I deceived your sister? But did you know that from the start your grandfather and your sister knew exactly what kind of person I am? Do you think they’re less wise than you? Now, you’re being manipulated without even realizing it. Enough, let me tell you something. I found two messages on Zeng Xiaolong’s phone—one notifying him to go to Qingyun Villa, and the other message’s content is... if my guess is correct, you have that same message as well!"

Lin Feng, seeing that Leng Hao was rooted to the spot, didn’t care about such trivial matters. He didn’t want to hold a grudge against Leng Hao, but he didn’t want Leng Hao to continue being used by others. Therefore, he highlighted some facts again. The message that sought to uncover Lin Feng’s identity was critical. If things went as expected, it would definitely have come from Yuan Kun to Leng Hao, with one aim: to make Leng Hao fully understand the situation. These things needed to be realized and understood by Leng Hao himself to prevent any untoward incidents from happening.

"What... what!" After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Leng Hao’s mind was completely befuddled, because the content of that message matched exactly what his senior brother had told him. That...

Leng Hao wasn’t foolish. If he couldn’t decipher Lin Feng’s implication by now, he would indeed be a fool. But he couldn’t believe that his senior brother, who had been so kind to him, had been using him all along. How... how could that be possible?

Leng Hao began to incessantly recall everything that had happened since Lin Feng had appeared.

When he and his sister picked up Lin Feng from the airport, the performance of the eldest senior brother seemed very normal.

During the time Lin Feng treated Grandpa Meng, the eldest senior brother... seemed a bit off, although he said a lot, there were some problems in his words.

When Lin Feng cured Grandpa Meng’s illness, the words the eldest senior brother said to him were deliberately leading him to oppose Lin Feng.

Later when seeking out the eldest senior brother for discussion, his behavior was problematic.

At the dinner table, the eldest senior brother was so supportive of him competing in drinking with Lin Feng, and he even gave him medicine to bring Lin Feng down, but the greatest benefit would go to the eldest senior brother!

Right, there was also the fact that Zeng Xiaolong rushed to Qingyun Villa only after receiving a text message; the only one who could have sent that message was the eldest senior brother...

...

Leng Hao thoroughly revisited the events of the past few days, and now he finally felt the root of all the problems. At first, because of his complete trust in what the eldest senior brother said, he did not doubt him at all, but now, looking back on these matters, he suddenly discovered inconsistencies. It seemed that every time there was opposition to Lin Feng, he was the one who stepped forward, while the eldest senior brother did not make a move, and it was also the eldest senior brother who filled his head with the notion that Lin Feng was a fallen young master, a swindler...

Moreover, the most crucial point, as Lin Feng had said, if Grandpa and his sister had known everything about Lin Feng from the start, and still so adamantly wanted his sister to be with Lin Feng, then it meant that Grandpa and his sister had long recognized Lin Feng as a genuine man, a true master. Otherwise, with the analytical eyes of Grandpa and his sister, how could an average man ever gain their approval! It was only him who had been blinded by the eldest senior brother from the very beginning, seeing only Lin Feng’s faults!

The eldest senior brother... why did he do this, wasn’t he the kindest to him, why would he treat him like this!

Now Leng Hao really felt a pang in his heart, he could never have imagined that the eldest senior brother, whom he had idolized as a perfect man, could be someone so deeply scheming. If Lin Feng hadn’t awakened him, he might still be in the dark, serving as the eldest senior brother’s puppet, continuing to oppose Lin Feng, continuing to stand against his sister’s relationship with Lin Feng, and time and again hurting his sister and the relationship between her and Lin Feng...

Regarding the words spoken by Lin Feng, Leng Hao did not doubt them at all, because Lin Feng had already proven himself as an incredibly capable master, it was impossible for him to tell lies. Moreover, these matters could be verified with Grandpa and his sister at any time, things which absolutely could not be fabricated. Therefore, the current phenomenon indicated that only he had been kept in the dark, only he was being used by the eldest senior brother.

With these thoughts, pain wracked Leng Hao’s heart; he truly couldn’t believe that the eldest senior brother he had always trusted could be such a person! At the same time, he also completely sobered up and realized that he had been misunderstanding Lin Feng all along, and the feeling inside was quite unpleasant.

"Lin Feng... I was wrong," Leng Hao said to Lin Feng who was still sitting there, feeling a bit guilty. He thought it over and decided to apologize to Lin Feng. After all, he had been very unfriendly to Lin Feng these past few days, even though everything he did had been under the provocation of the eldest senior brother. But what had been done was done, so he should apologize for his actions.

"No need, I really haven’t taken these things to heart. What do you plan to do next?" Lin Feng really hadn’t taken Leng Hao’s actions to heart. Hearing Leng Hao say this, he was quite pleased with Leng Hao’s current behavior and thought to himself that this kid was inherently good, just a bit impulsive and used by Yuan Kun. Being able to independently become an A-rank peak master at eighteen showed that Leng Hao had a great deal of talent. With a couple of years to mature, he should have a very promising future.

However, thinking further, Lin Feng realized that now that Leng Hao had figured some things out, his next steps would likely involve confronting Yuan Kun, so Lin Feng asked to find out what Leng Hao ​​really intended to do next.

"I’m going to find the eldest senior brother and clarify everything, understand why he did this to me!" Leng Hao answered Lin Feng without hesitation. He still couldn’t comprehend why the eldest senior brother would treat him this way. If he couldn’t resolve this issue, his heart would never be at peace, completely in chaos. The eldest senior brother he had interacted with for years turned out to be such a person, how could he not be angry!

"All right then, I’ll accompany you," Lin Feng, hearing Leng Hao’s thoughts matches his own, decided to go with Leng Hao to speak to Yuan Kun. With someone as deeply cunning as Yuan Kun, Lin Feng worried that Leng Hao might get hurt if they got into an altercation. Given that Yuan Kun was an AAA-grade cultivator, Leng Hao was certainly no match for him.

"Okay," Leng Hao, although surprised that Lin Feng wanted to accompany him, thought it over and felt that it was better to have Lin Feng there for such a situation, so he agreed without hesitation.

Upon hearing Leng Hao’s agreement, Lin Feng stood up and left the room with him. They set out to find Yuan Kun. Lin Feng was quite curious to see what kind of face Yuan Kun would show after his mask of deception was removed.

After the two of them got into the car, under Leng Hao’s direction, they headed straight to Yuan Kun’s residence, as Leng Hao knew Yuan Kun’s habits very well, and at this hour, Yuan Kun was definitely at home.
