Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 595: Meeting Zhu Tao (Fifth Update)

"Who exactly is looking for me?" Seeing Huand Shi’s anxious demeanor, Lin Feng instantly felt very puzzled. Who could it be that was seeking him out, causing Huang Shi to become so nervous?

"Boss, it’s a person named Zhu Tao. I didn’t know how to handle it, so I put him up in our hotel for now. But from the way he talked, I sensed he didn’t harbor any hostility. So, when I got the news that the Boss was returning to Tianhai, I hurried over immediately," Huang Shi briefed the situation succinctly, leaving the decision on how to deal with it up to the Boss.

"Did he say anything?" Hearing Zhu Tao had come to find him, Lin Feng also felt puzzled. He had saved Zhu Tao’s life back in the Golden Triangle; why was Zhu Tao seeking him out again? What exactly was going on?

"He just said he wanted to see the Boss and didn’t mention anything else. However, one thing is for sure: Zhu Tao has no ill intentions," Huang Shi quickly answered Lin Feng’s questions. Huang Shi realized that Zhu Tao’s claims of knowing the Boss must be true when Lin Feng said he knew Zhu Tao; otherwise, Lin Feng would definitely have claimed not to know Zhu Tao. Since that was the case, this matter should be as Zhu Tao said. The calm and composed manner in which the Boss spoke clearly indicated an acquaintance with Zhu Tao.

"Mm, let’s leave it at that. We’ll talk more once we reach the hotel. How have things been in Tianhai during this time?" Lin Feng casually remarked. He had a rough idea of Zhu Tao’s intentions from Huang Shi’s words, but he still needed confirmation. Only after arriving at the hotel and seeing Zhu Tao would he understand the actual situation. He then swiftly changed the subject, inquiring about Tianhai’s condition. After all, it had been almost a month since he left Tianhai, and he needed to be updated on the situation.

"Things are still the same over here in Tianhai, basically no issues. I’ve also followed your orders to discreetly protect a few sister-in-laws. I knew about your return last time and wanted to chat the next day, but by morning, the Boss had already gone to the Capital City."

"Mm, an old chief in the Capital City had some troubles, so I went to see his sickness. It was an emergency, and I went straight to the Capital City."

"There haven’t been any incidents at the school, have there?"

"No, during the time the Boss was away, aside from the students always missing you, there were no other issues."

"That’s good."

"By the way, Boss, there was a small issue concerning Sister-in-law Ding."

"What happened?"

"Cui Jinhao of H Country’s Six Star Group took an interest in Sister-in-law Ding, and he’s been pursuing her aggressively. However, he hasn’t done anything disrespectful, so I didn’t have the bodyguards intervene. Sister-in-law Ding, on the other hand, didn’t say a word to Cui Jinhao. She completely ignored him. But he’s been persistent, annoying Sister-in-law Ding quite a bit."

"What’s the situation with that?"

"..."

...

The two talked about many things in the car, including Wan Long, who made a phone call asking if Lin Feng was back, and where he could be found. The majority of their conversation, however, revolved around Cui Jinhao. Lin Feng was absolutely confident in Ding Wan’er, but he believed his woman should not be harassed at will, so he started to ponder some matters...

Seeing that the Boss had fallen silent, lost in thought, Huang Shi knew what the Boss was planning, and thus didn’t say anything. He simply accompanied him, occasionally pouring tea for Lin Feng.

An hour and a half later, the car came to a stop. Huang Shi opened the door, and both he and Lin Feng entered the hotel lobby.

"Welcome, Young Master!" The hotel lobby manager, seeing Huang Shi and a young man entering from outside, promptly came forward to greet them. Not recognizing the young man with the Young Master, he refrained from saying anything out of turn and simply greeted Huang Shi first.

"There’s nothing concerning you here, step back," Huang Shi said dismissively and quickly led Lin Feng towards the elevator.

"Yes." The hall manager, upon hearing the words, quickly withdrew, but his heart was already deeply shocked. He couldn’t pin down the background of the young man before him. He had seen Huang Shi’s behavior, and Huang Shi was famously influential in the entire Tianhai, yet he was so humble before this young man. This... what exactly was going on? Who was this young man to make someone like Huang Shi behave in such a manner!

No matter who the young man was, the next time he appeared, the manager knew he had to serve him well. Anyone who could make Huang Shi treat them with such respect was definitely no ordinary person. Thinking this, he made a point to remember the young man’s face, so he wouldn’t fail to recognize him in the future...

Huang Shi and Lin Feng took the elevator to the seventh floor and went straight to Room 7013.

"Knock knock knock, Old Zhu, open the door." At the doorway, Huang Shi hurriedly stepped forward half a step to knock on the door for Lin Feng, called out, and then returned to Lin Feng’s side.

Zhu Tao had nothing to do, and during this period, he had been waiting for Lin Feng in the hotel, practicing his skills or pondering over some techniques, except for meals. He had only called Huang Shi every day to ask if Lin Feng had returned.

That evening, Zhu Tao was also contemplating a problem with a technique when he suddenly heard Huang Shi’s voice. He found it very strange, wondering why Huang Shi had come to the hotel. He got up, walked to the door, and opened it. But he never expected to see Lin Feng. Seeing Huang Shi smiling behind him, he immediately understood what was happening and hurriedly invited both Huang Shi and Lin Feng into the room.

"Zhu Tao, why have you come looking for me?" Lin Feng settled onto the sofa, waved a hand to signal Zhu Tao and Huang Shi to sit, and then asked. He had heard a rough explanation from Huang Shi, but still, Lin Feng wanted to hear from Zhu Tao himself what he was really thinking.

"I have nowhere else to go now. After you left, I felt incredibly lost. Having stayed in the Golden Triangle for decades, I’ve become somewhat disconnected from this society. I really don’t know where to go next, or what to do."

"After collecting the bodies of Ruan Tiansheng and his son, I thought about seeking revenge against my old enemies and then finding a place to cultivate, but to my surprise, those old enemies, seeing that I had become an S-level expert, committed suicide without even putting up a fight. And just like that, I completely lost my direction and didn’t know which path to take after reaching S-level."

"Later, in a place where I reflected all night, I felt I should come back and follow you. After all, you saved my life, and this S-level strength I have is also thanks to you. I don’t like owing favors. The Ruan Family has become part of the past, and the only option I have left is you."

"And the most important thing is, I can’t seem to find anyone who could guide me. S-level experts are rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the Cultivation World, and I don’t really know anyone. My intuition tells me that staying by your side gives me the best chance of improving, so I came to find you. I don’t ask for much, and I don’t know what I could do to help you, but just being by your side is enough. If you could occasionally give me some guidance, that would make me completely content."

Zhu Tao spoke his innermost thoughts candidly. He believed that being straightforward and direct was the best way to show his sincerity to a person like Lin Feng. This was genuinely how he felt. As for whether Lin Feng could let bygones be bygones and keep him around, Zhu Tao was not sure, but he had made up his mind. If Lin Feng didn’t wish to keep him, it wasn’t a problem; he could always retreat to the mountains to get a deeper understanding. Of course, the best outcome would be to stay by Lin Feng’s side.

Having experienced firsthand how miraculous Lin Feng was, Zhu Tao truly wished to remain by his side to gain insight into cultivation matters.

As Zhu Tao recounted the whole story, Huang Shi listened and broke out in a cold sweat. He had previously thought Zhu Tao was no ordinary person, but he never imagined that the Boss had caused such a stir in the Golden Triangle. Moreover, he had utterly defeated Zhu Tao, an AAA-level expert at his peak, and not only spared his life but ultimately helped Zhu Tao’s strength advance to become an S-level expert. This was simply too incredible!

Huang Shi looked at Zhu Tao in utter amazement, unable to comprehend this turn of events. After visiting Songyuan Villa with the Boss and witnessing the shocking encounter between the Boss and Wan Long, and then returning to Tianhai, he went to consult with Uncle Fang, the family’s AA-level expert, to get a thorough understanding of the world of cultivators. He was eager to learn more about cultivators and wanted to know what kind of expert the Boss really was.

According to Uncle Fang, AAA-level experts were practically invincible in the Secular World because they could externalize their Gang Qi. As for S-level experts, they were almost at an Immortal’s level; except for the inability to fly, they could practically be called humanoid nuclear weapons. There were only a few in the entire country, and no one knew anything beyond the S-level...

Zhu Tao, who was now an S-level expert, owed his promotion to Lin Feng’s help. This... this was beyond belief. Zhu Tao’s respectful demeanor towards the Boss suggested that the Boss was definitely more formidable than the current S-level expert Zhu Tao. This...

The implications left Huang Shi speechless, as he had never dreamed that the Boss he sincerely followed would be an S-level super-expert exceeding other S-level experts. This... how could one even describe the Boss!

Huang Shi couldn’t find the words to express his inner shock. He had never imagined that the Boss he devotedly followed was such an extraordinary figure, capable of gaining a willing follower in an S-level expert. If this were to be revealed, surely no one would believe it! Huang Shi felt even more exhilarated than before, realizing that the Boss was such a formidable expert. To be a subordinate to the Boss was truly the highest honor!

Once Zhu Tao had finished speaking, Huang Shi’s face was still showing a look of immense shock, and he could also tell from Zhu Tao’s tone that everything he said was true...
