Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 687: Can’t Go Anymore

What... what on earth happened? How could Young Master Jingyun be injured? Isn’t Young Master Jingyun an S-class expert? How could he possibly be so severely injured!

And what’s even more exaggerated is that he was stuffed into the trunk by Lin Feng. This... this is just too inconceivable!

Could it be... could it be that Lin Feng defeated Nangong Jingyun? This... how is this even possible!

...

With his mind in utter disarray, Nangong Yifan began to ponder over what exactly had happened tonight. No matter what, he couldn’t believe that an S-class expert like Nangong Jingyun could be defeated by Lin Feng. Isn’t Lin Feng just a French teacher? How could he possibly have such strength? It’s simply impossible!

If Lin Feng could defeat Nangong Jingyun, wouldn’t that mean Lin Feng is also an S-class expert, and even more, an S-class expert far superior to Young Master Jingyun? No matter how Nangong Yifan thought about it, he couldn’t accept such a possibility. If Lin Feng was also an S-class expert, how could he possibly end up teaching French in a school? Madness! He knew all too well what being an S-class expert meant; such individuals were treated with extraordinary respect even in Prominent Families. They would never end up teaching at a school.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that Lin Feng is simply too young. How could someone in his early 20s be an S-class expert? Such a thing is utterly impossible. Being born into the Nangong Clan, he was very clear about the secrets of the Cultivation World. The most powerful among them was an ancestor of the Li Family, who broke through to S-class at 27. That has been a legend in the Cultivation World, a record that remained unbeaten for centuries. So, there’s just no way Lin Feng could be an S-class expert!

Not to mention being capable of injuring Nangong Jingyun that badly. That’s even more impossible. To inflict such severe injuries on Young Master Jingyun, one would at least need to be an S-class expert in the middle stage. Nangong Yifan couldn’t even believe Lin Feng was an S-class expert, let alone believe he might be a middle-stage S-class expert. That’s even more unlikely!

So... what exactly happened here? How could Nangong Jingyun have sustained such serious injuries?

If it wasn’t Lin Feng, who else could it be?

It can’t be! It can’t be!

...

Nangong Yifan thought it through time and time again but couldn’t figure out anyone else who could have inflicted such damage on Nangong Jingyun. The only explanation that made sense was that all the previous assumptions were correct; Lin Feng was indeed an S-class expert, perhaps even one above the middle stage. Otherwise, Nangong Jingyun couldn’t possibly be injured. Tonight, Nangong Jingyun had gone to find Lin Feng, so it couldn’t have been anyone else!

At this thought, Nangong Yifan’s cold sweat instantly broke out. Though his mind refused to accept it a thousand times over, the facts were right before his eyes—he had to believe Lin Feng was indeed that level of an expert. Lin Feng... an S-class expert in his early 20s, how could it be, how could it be possible!

Such an incredible existence had never been heard of in the Cultivation World, Lin Feng was just too formidable. This... this surpasses even the Li Family patriarch, truly shocking and beyond belief. If the Cultivation World were to learn about this, it would undoubtedly trigger an earthquake...

What... what should I do now?

Now, Nangong Yifan’s heart was in complete chaos. He really didn’t know what to do next. His only thought was to wait until Nangong Jingyun had recovered and then ask him for guidance. He didn’t dare to handle anything rashly because a misstep in dealing with this matter could definitely attract major trouble...

......

After driving away, Lin Feng intended to keep his appointment and visit Songyuan Villa, but after glancing at his watch, he realized that due to Nangong Jingyun’s interference, several hours had slipped by. It was now too late to go to the villa, so he picked up his phone and dialed Zhu Tao’s number.

"Young Master, what can I do for you?" Zhu Tao had just stepped out and was about to call Lin Feng to ask when he would come over, but to his surprise, Lin Feng’s call came in first. He hurriedly answered the phone and asked carefully, worrying, didn’t Young Master say he would come over in the evening? Why was he calling now? What exactly was going on?

"Old Zhu, it’s too late now, something came up this evening and delayed me. Explain the situation to Master Leng Hao for me, and I’ll definitely rush over tomorrow evening," Lin Feng instructed briefly. He really had no choice in the matter; if it weren’t for the delay caused by Nangong Jingyun, he would have surely visited Songyuan Villa tonight.

"Alright, Young Master, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it," Zhu Tao responded immediately upon hearing Lin Feng say this. He knew Lin Feng was usually busy; if he couldn’t make it, then he couldn’t, and an explanation to Liu Pingfeng would suffice.

"Okay, that settles it then. I’m going straight home. Take good care of Leng Hao and his master on my behalf," said Lin Feng before hanging up the call. He drove towards his home, confident in Zhu Tao’s ability to handle the situation. Zhu Tao would surely take proper care of things.

After Lin Feng hung up, Zhu Tao put his phone away and quickly made his way to Liu Pingfeng’s room.

Wan Long and Liu Pingfeng had hit it off from their first meeting in the afternoon. With Leng Hao sent off to wander on his own, the two of them chatted away in the room, finding great pleasure in their conversation about cultivation. For S-level masters like them, finding someone of equal level to exchange ideas with was incredibly rare. Discussing their cultivation insights brought mutual benefits, and time flew by without notice. Zhu Tao walked in just as their chat reached an exciting peak.

"Old Liu, I’m truly sorry. Young Master encountered some issues and can’t come tonight. He instructed me to apologize to you, but he assured me that he will definitely come over tomorrow evening. Please do forgive him."

Zhu Tao bowed slightly, naturally explaining Lin Feng’s absence and expressing regret. He knew Lin Feng well; Lin Feng wouldn’t have broken a promise unless something unforeseen had happened. Therefore, Lin Feng must have faced an issue causing the delay to tonight’s visit. It was unavoidable, but luckily, Lin Feng had promised to come the following evening, which Liu Pingfeng was likely not to mind.

"Haha, Old Liu, please don’t mind. It’s very rare for Lin Feng to come over to my place. He’s extremely busy on a regular basis. He must have run into an issue today; otherwise, he would not have postponed his visit. Don’t take it to heart. Besides, Zhu Tao and I are here to keep you company, so you won’t feel bored at all," Wan Long added swiftly after hearing Zhu Tao, feeling it necessary to reassure Liu Pingfeng. To Wan Long, Lin Feng’s character was well understood—if Lin Feng hadn’t been delayed, he wouldn’t have missed coming to the villa. However, he thought it best to clear up any of Liu Pingfeng’s potential concerns and emphasized that both he and Zhu Tao were there to provide company.

"I see, that’s fine then. If he can’t make it, then he can’t. I’ve heard from Xiao Hao that Lin Feng is quite busy. I won’t fuss over such things. As Wan Long said, having you two S-level masters here with me makes me very happy as well. There’s no issue with Lin Feng coming a day late, rest assured," Liu Pingfeng responded after Zhu Tao and Wan Long’s explanations, not minding Lin Feng’s inability to come. He had already heard from his disciple Leng Hao that Lin Feng was a busy person, so if he couldn’t come tonight, that was fine. It wasn’t a pressing matter, and frankly, Liu Pingfeng had no issue at all with Lin Feng’s delay.

Furthermore, Liu Pingfeng was delighted to have Zhu Tao and Wan Long for company. For him, the chance to discuss cultivation matters with two other S-level masters was exceedingly rare, and he cherished this opportunity immensely. Liu Pingfeng was thrilled just thinking about what a discourse between three S-level masters would be like.

"Old Wan, what were you and Old Liu just discussing?" Hearing Liu Pingfeng so reassured, Zhu Tao felt at ease and sensed that Liu Pingfeng genuinely didn’t mind Lin Feng’s absence. With that settled, all that was left was to follow Lin Feng’s instructions and see to Liu Pingfeng’s needs. It was then that Zhu Tao remembered the evident joy on the faces of Wan Long and Liu Pingfeng when he entered, and he asked casually.

"Hehe, Old Zhu, I was just discussing cultivation matters with Old Liu, and I truly gained a lot. Without exchanging ideas with an S-level master, one can never know where their weaknesses lie. Old Liu’s experience in cultivation has also been a great revelation to me and has helped me significantly. I am so glad!" Wan Long replied with an even brighter smile. He had deeply appreciated the conversation with Liu Pingfeng, feeling that advancing even a step further at the S-level was extremely challenging. The exchange had extended his understanding significantly, especially in areas he had previously overlooked.

"Don’t say that. Exchanges are mutual. I’ve also learned some techniques for cultivating True Qi from Wan Long. We all benefit from sharing our strengths and weaknesses," Liu Pingfeng humbly replied, equally content. Such discussions were of great value to cultivators at their level; they were very helpful for improving their cultivation. Indeed, he had learned some unique techniques from Wan Long, making Liu Pingfeng just as pleased with the fruitful conversation.
