Chapter 677 Sect Master Wan...
Chapter 677 Sect Master Wan...
Liu Pingfeng felt, for the first time, that his brain wasn’t up to the task. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t think of a reason why an S-rank super expert like Zhu Tao would become a steward for Lin Feng. Lin Feng is just a young man in his early twenties, right? And his family background isn’t that impressive, let alone from a Cultivation Prominent Family. So... what on earth is going on? Even more bizarre is that ever since their first meeting, Zhu Tao had been attending to them with the courtesy owed to a steward, and from his words, one could feel that Zhu Tao was absolutely and sincerely willing to serve Lin Feng. This... this is truly beyond belief!
All S-rank experts stand high above the rest, and those at such a level are all focusing their energy on cultivation. They would not venture into the mundane world unless something happened. So, what is the meaning of all this? How did Lin Feng make Zhu Tao so willingly and heartily serve as his steward? But the scene right before his eyes was real, compelling his belief.
No matter how hard Liu Pingfeng tried, he couldn’t make heads or tails of it. In the end, his mind was completely muddled...
"Old Zhu, why did you come to Tianhai to serve as Brother Lin’s steward?" Leng Hao couldn’t help but ask, his mind somewhat dazed. He just couldn’t understand how an S-rank super expert like Zhu Tao, who was on the same level as his master, could end up being a steward for Brother Lin. Facing Zhu Tao now, he could no longer contain his shock. If it hadn’t been for seeing and hearing it himself, no one would believe that an S-rank expert would become a steward; it was simply inconceivable.
"Speaking about this matter would take a while. The young master has shown me profound gratitude, so I came to Tianhai to find him. I couldn’t do much else, so I could only serve as his steward," Zhu Tao explained.
Zhu Tao, seeing the look of utter astonishment on Leng Hao’s face, naturally understood what was on his mind. Since Leng Hao is Leng Mei’s brother and Lin Feng is also very fond of him, Zhu Tao had no reservations in briefly explaining the situation. In Zhu Tao’s eyes, following Lin Feng was the most correct decision he had ever made, and he wasn’t ashamed of it in the slightest. A super expert like Lin Feng was completely worthy of his allegiance.
"So that’s how it is," Leng Hao said after hearing Zhu Tao’s explanation, finally understanding Zhu Tao’s reasons for following Brother Lin. It was because Brother Lin had bestowed a huge favor upon him, no wonder Zhu Tao was so willing to serve as a steward. That was the reason behind it all.
But no sooner had he accepted this explanation than Leng Hao felt something was amiss again. Zhu Tao mentioned a huge favor from Brother Lin, which was... even more unbelievable. Zhu Tao was an S-rank super expert, Lin Feng was impressive indeed, but no matter how formidable, it seemed impossible for him to owe such a debt to an S-rank super expert. This... was simply impossible. Then... what was truly going on? With these thoughts in mind, Leng Hao sat stunned in his seat.
However, Leng Hao didn’t ask any further questions. He knew that Zhu Tao would have said what needed to be said; pressing the matter would appear very impolite. For an S-rank super expert like Zhu Tao to do such a thing, it spoke volumes about how extraordinary Lin Feng must be. To have an S-rank super expert willingly and sincerely serve as a steward, Lin Feng could be considered an incredibly unusual individual even within the Cultivation World.
Leng Hao had never imagined that his arrival in Tianhai would bring such a huge surprise from Lin Feng, his future brother-in-law, leaving him so astounded. He was now even more eager to meet Lin Feng. When that time came, he definitely wanted to have a good talk with Lin Feng; he truly wanted to know just how formidable his future brother-in-law really was...
"I see," Liu Pingfeng said upon hearing Zhu Tao’s explanation. He finally understood how Lin Feng had made Zhu Tao so willing and pleased to act as his steward. It was because Lin Feng had shown Zhu Tao a kindness too great to repay. If that’s the case, it made sense. And Zhu Tao’s willingness indicated that he was someone who deeply valued loyalty and friendship. To repay Lin Feng’s kindness by serving as his steward was something other S-rank experts definitely couldn’t bring themselves to do.
But what astonished Liu Pingfeng even more was the fact that an S-rank expert like Zhu Tao held Lin Feng in such high regard. What kind of immense favor had Lin Feng done for Zhu Tao to earn such respect? How could a young man in his early twenties possibly owe a colossal favor to an S-rank super expert? That... was simply not possible. But then...
Ripples of intrigue spread through Liu Pingfeng’s mind. At this point, he realized something—Lin Feng was certainly not just as formidable as he seemed in Capital City. If his guess was correct, the capabilities Lin Feng had shown in the city were just the tip of the iceberg. Otherwise, an event like this, an S-rank expert serving as a steward, which had never happened in the Cultivation World, would have been impossible. Achieving such a feat highlighted Lin Feng’s extraordinary abilities.
With this in mind, Liu Pingfeng looked forward to meeting Lin Feng even more, eager for the surprises Lin Feng might have in store...
"Let’s not talk about this anymore. The young master has already prepared a place for the two of you to rest."
"Where is it, Old Zhu?"
"No need to go to any trouble, Old Zhu. Just any place will do."
"You’ll definitely like that place. It’s in the Western Outskirt, a resort villa. The young master specially arranged it, and the environment there is excellent."
"A resort villa?"
"Yes, Young Master Leng Hao, you don’t need to be surprised. I’ve visited that place many times. It’s quite nice."
"Why not stay in the city?"
"It means that Old Liu definitely doesn’t like the noisy city, so he arranged it over there."
...
A few people casually struck up a conversation, discussing light topics. Leng Hao grew fonder of Zhu Tao by the minute, thinking to himself that Brother Lin was incredibly formidable, to have a steward like Zhu Tao at his side. Zhu Tao’s way of speaking was very interesting and well-suited to Leng Hao’s temperament. Liu Pingfeng also sensed from their conversations that Zhu Tao was a genuine person and was very happy with the close rapport he offered. The three of them chatted more joyfully the longer they talked, gradually losing track of time...
"Squeak!"
The car stopped in front of the main building of Songyuan Villa.
When Zhu Tao had gone to the airport to pick them up, he had already called Wan Long to inform him that Lin Feng had two guests that needed accommodation at the villa and asked Wan Long to arrange a good reception for them. Upon hearing that Lin Feng’s guests were to be arranged at the villa, Wan Long was naturally overjoyed. He immediately had his disciples prepare everything, and he waited at Songyuan Villa for Zhu Tao and the others. So, the moment he saw Zhu Tao’s car stop, Wan Long immediately ran out from inside.
"Old Zhu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time; why are you only coming now?" Wan Long approached and slapped Zhu Tao’s shoulder, laughing joyfully. He had been missing Zhu Tao quite a lot, for sparring with him was incredibly enjoyable. It had been a long time since Zhu Tao had come by, and seeing him today, how could he not be elated?
"Old Wan, you’re not unaware of how far it is from the airport to here. Let me introduce you; this is Leng Hao. Leng Hao is the Young Master’s brother-in-law. This is his master, Liu Pingfeng. This is Wan Long, Sect Leader of the Three Stars Sect, and Songyuan Villa is a property of the Three Stars Sect." Seeing Wan Long, Zhu Tao was also very happy. The two of them had sparred several times, each occasion leaving them incredibly excited. But today’s protagonist was not him, so Zhu Tao quickly introduced Leng Hao and Liu Pingfeng to Wan Long.
"Welcome, guests of Lin Feng are my guests as well," said Wan Long, his heart instantly filled with joy upon hearing Zhu Tao’s introduction. Lin Feng’s brother-in-law must be the brother of Lin Feng’s woman, and this elder is Leng Hao’s master. From their appearance, he was undoubtedly a supreme master as well. Since Lin Feng had arranged for these two important people to stay at the villa, Wan Long was extremely pleased.
With that in mind, he hurriedly ushered everyone inside with great courtesy, suggesting that after a long journey by car, they must all be tired and that they should sit down for a cup of tea and rest first.
"Thank you... thank you." Upon hearing that the other party was the Sect Leader of the Three Stars Sect, Leng Hao was instantly stunned. What... What exactly was going on? How could Songyuan Villa be a property of the Three Stars Sect? And most importantly, from what Wan Long said, his relationship with Lin Feng seemed to be more than just good. Otherwise, Wan Long would not have spoken those courteous words. To have a Three Stars Sect Leader personally receive them... this was all too extravagant!
Leng Hao was at a loss for words, only able to instinctively express his thanks. His mind was too shocked to articulate his feelings. He had never expected to encounter such a situation upon arriving in Tianhai. His mind was now overwhelmingly curious about who Lin Feng really was, and how he had such incredible influence...
"Sorry to disturb you, Sect Master Wan!" Liu Pingfeng raised his hand in thanks and then followed Wan Long into the building. He was equally astonished, not expecting that a Sect Leader would personally meet them. From Wan Long’s tone, Liu Pingfeng was even more surprised. The relationship between Wan Long and Lin Feng seemed to be exceptionally close. What... What exactly was happening? And what shocked Liu Pingfeng even more was that Wan Long’s voice carried traces of True Qi, hinting that his strength was undoubtedly that of a supreme master.
Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, how many more surprises can you give me?
Liu Pingfeng’s opinion of Lin Feng underwent a seismic shift at that moment. Everything in sight was sufficient to show that Lin Feng was by no means an ordinary person. Now, Liu Pingfeng was eager to meet Lin Feng and see for himself how incredible Lin Feng really was!
The group made their way to a pavilion behind the building where tea had been prepared. The environment was elegant and very suitable for conversation.
