Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 771 Old Monster’s Invitation

What amazed Man Long was Wang Anjun’s last statement, that helping someone break through a cultivation bottleneck was an impossibility in the Cultivation World. Not even his master, the Old Monster, could achieve such a feat. If cultivation bottlenecks could truly be overcome with external assistance, there wouldn’t be so many cultivators stuck, unable to break through for their entire lives. Yet Wang Anjun would definitely not deceive him. This meant that Lin Feng indeed possessed such an inconceivable ability, which was utterly astonishing!

Lin Feng, oh, Lin Feng! Just what kind of formidable being are you?

At this thought, Man Long felt he could no longer see through Lin Feng. Many supposedly impossible things kept happening to him, and the implications were self-evident. Therefore, it seemed only natural for Lin Feng to become the Leng Family’s son-in-law. However, one question continually plagued Man Long’s mind: just how powerful was Lin Feng, and how had he undergone such a monumental transformation in just a few short years? It was simply beyond description...

......

The Leng Family’s banquet wedding had concluded, and a few days had passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Lin Feng had not been idle; he spent the days touring Capital City’s famous spots with Leng Mei and Leng Hao, indulging in the city’s most renowned delicacies.

He knew his parents had always been incredibly busy, with no time for leisure, and after his own troubles, coming out had become even more unlikely. Since they were already in Capital City, it was a good opportunity to enjoy some quality time with them. Leng Mei was very supportive of Lin Feng’s decision and constantly looked after Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan, ensuring they were smiling and enjoying each day to the fullest.

Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan also understood the gesture from their son and daughter-in-law and set aside everything to enjoy each day happily. Despite feeling exhausted daily, their enthusiasm never waned. It wasn’t easy to make a trip to Capital City, so making the most of it was only natural, especially with their son and daughter-in-law accompanying them, which was the happiest thing for them.

After breakfast, Lin Feng followed his parents back to their resting room.

"Dad, Mom, we’ve stayed in Capital City for several days now; it’s time to go back, don’t you think?" Lin Feng asked casually. They had been in Capital City for nearly ten days, and it was time to leave. Prolonging their stay wasn’t ideal. After all, Leng Mei and he had work to attend to. This visit was quite enough, and if his parents wished to come again, they could accompany them once they had holidays.

"Yes, that sounds good. It’s time to go back."

"Let’s head back. The company is already urging me," they agreed when they heard Lin Feng’s suggestion. Indeed, they were looking to return as well, since work was busy, and going out for so many days had been challenging enough. They didn’t wish to disrupt their jobs any further. Now that their son had proposed leaving, when else would they go?

"That settles it, then. I will book the flight tickets, and we’ll all head back to Tiandu this afternoon. Rest up for now," said Lin Feng, hearing his parents’ agreement. He briefly excused himself from the room to let them rest, but unexpectedly, he ran into Leng Mei just as he stepped out the door.

"Lin Feng, Grandpa is looking for you," Leng Mei came over to Lin Feng, naturally hooking her arm through his. Over the past few days, it had become habitual for her to cling to Lin Feng’s arm. She explained the situation briefly and pulled Lin Feng with her towards the backyard to find Leng Hui.

"What does Grandpa need me for?" Lin Feng walked with Leng Mei, unable to resist asking. He wondered what urgent matter Leng Hui could have, calling for him all of a sudden.

"Actually, it’s Uncle Man Long who wants to see you. We don’t know what it’s about," Leng Mei replied apprehensively to Lin Feng’s question. She too was clueless about why Uncle Man Long suddenly sought out Lin Feng. But Leng Mei was sure of one thing: that Uncle Man Long, being from the Leng family lineage, wouldn’t make things difficult for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, hearing Leng Mei’s words, decided not to press further and left with her. Since she didn’t know, there was no use guessing; they would find out when they met.

Upon entering the backyard, Lin Feng saw Man Long sitting and chatting with Leng Hui over tea. He remembered Man Long from the main table at the meal, puzzled then by the presence of an S-level master, never suspecting that the S-level master was Man Long himself.

"Lin Feng has arrived. Come over and sit," Man Long greeted them warmly as soon as he saw Lin Feng and Leng Mei, motioning for them to join him. Seeing Leng Mei with a powerful figure like Lin Feng filled Man Long with gratification, and a joyful smile spread across his face.

"Uncle Man, why did you call us over?" Leng Mei took the initiative to ask directly, given her familiarity with Man Long from past interactions. Man Long used to visit their home often, but as he became preoccupied with important responsibilities, his visits ceased. Yet Man Long remained a member of the Leng lineage, so Leng Mei asked without any hint of formality.

"Lin Feng, could you delay your departure for a few days? My master wishes to see you in three days," Man Long said with a smile. When he first heard that his master wanted to see Lin Feng, he suspected he had heard wrong. After all, who was his master? Nearly half a century ago, he was someone who had almost stepped into the Profound Realm, the pinnacle among human cultivators. How could he suddenly request a meeting with a young man like Lin Feng? It was baffling. But a disciple’s duty is tough, and he could only follow his master’s orders to invite Lin Feng for a meeting in three days.

"What, your master wants to see Lin Feng!"

"Ah, this... how is that possible? What does the Old Monster want with Lin Feng?"

"I haven’t misheard, have I?"

The Leng family patriarch and his two grandchildren all looked at Man Long with disbelief. Others might not know what the Old Monster was like, but they did. He was called the Old Monster because no one knew his real name anymore. As for when this nickname came about, no one could say. But one fact they knew was that the Old Monster had been presiding over Capital City for nearly a century, ensuring its peace. He was rumored to be an Immortal-like figure...

That’s why they were so shocked. Why on earth did the Old Monster suddenly want to meet Lin Feng? Such a reclusive and elusive figure... why would he have this idea? It was absolutely incredulous!

"Well, there’s still time, so let’s meet," Lin Feng, who also knew a bit about the Old Monster, said. Before leaving the island, his master had mentioned this person to him. Since the Old Monster wanted to see him, he would meet with him. It wasn’t a big deal. Thinking this, Lin Feng directly agreed to the request, which served as a response to Man Long.

"Good, I’ll come find you in three days," Man Long said as he saw Lin Feng react to his master’s name without any sign of surprise, still appearing very calm. He secretly nodded in approval, thinking that Lin Feng truly lived up to Elder Leng’s expectations. If it were someone else hearing his master’s name, they might have had a completely different reaction, unless they had no idea who his master was. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to remain composed.

Lin Feng was certainly not ignorant of who his master was. To demonstrate such calm and composure under these circumstances was indeed rare and commendable.

Having said that, Man Long left to report back to his master.

The three members of the Leng family still stood there, stunned, their minds full of questions. Logically speaking, Lin Feng had never met the Old Monster before. The Old Monster’s sudden invitation was truly unexpected. They had never heard of the Old Monster summoning anyone before. What could he want with Lin Feng? The Old Monster was an unimaginably high-level master in the Cultivation World. What could he possibly want with Lin Feng?

......

Seeing the astonished expressions of the three Lengs, Lin Feng didn’t say anything but walked over to the stone table to pour a round of tea for everyone.

"Tea," he offered, his voice neutral yet gentle. But there was something indescribable in his tone that snapped the three Lengs out of their daze. Lin Feng wasn’t surprised by the Old Monster’s invitation. It had been a long time since he returned; with all the commotion he’d caused, it was impossible for the Old Monster not to know of his existence. He had anticipated that the Old Monster might want to see him, just not so soon.

"Lin Feng, there won’t be any trouble with the Old Monster looking for you, will there?" Leng Hui asked nervously. The Old Monster was universally regarded as an Immortal-like figure, whom he had never seen himself. What could be the reason for him suddenly seeking out Lin Feng?

"Brother-in-law, why would the Old Monster suddenly come looking for you?" Leng Hao was also becoming anxious. As a cultivator, he certainly knew who the Old Monster was — a legend in the Cultivation World, unmatched for decades. If such a formidable master was looking for Lin Feng, what could be the reason?

"Lin Feng, it’s not dangerous, is it? Maybe, maybe you shouldn’t go," Leng Mei said, her anxiety growing. She really didn’t want Lin Feng to face any danger. Although Uncle Man and the Leng Family were close, that didn’t necessarily reflect the Old Monster’s stance. If something were to happen to Lin Feng, what would she do? She knew Lin Feng was powerful, but the Old Monster was a figure of legend; no matter how strong Lin Feng was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for the Old Monster...

"You all don’t need to be so nervous. There really is nothing to worry about. I reckon the Old Monster just wants to have a chat. After all the noise I’ve made since returning, it would be no surprise to him, so his invitation isn’t out of the ordinary. By the way, how much do you know about the Old Monster? I only know a little from what my master has told me."

Lin Feng offered a reassuring smile, signaling everyone to relax. The Old Monster seeking him out was surely not a bad thing; unless something unforeseen happened, it was probably just a desire to communicate. The Old Monster had been at the peak among human cultivators and had been overseeing Capital City for many years, apathetic to all but the gravest of matters. So Lin Feng was not worried about the meeting at all. Nevertheless, since he had brought it up, it wouldn’t hurt to ask the Lengs what they knew about the Old Monster.
