Chapter 827: Nangong He Picks Up from the Airport!
"Senior sister, why are you just staring at Lin Feng and me? It wasn’t easy for me to come to Tianhai. Don’t tell me... don’t tell me you want to fight over Lin Feng with me?" Shen Yao saw Chu Meng’s conflicted expression and, in order to confirm her own suspicions, she also returned a joke that sounded like a joke to Chu Meng. In the mix of what was real and what was pretend, she wanted to test Chu Meng’s reaction; only then could she determine whether her guess was indeed correct.
"Yaoyao, what are you talking about? Why are you joking about your seniors like that? Such jokes should not be made carelessly; it wouldn’t be good if they led to misunderstandings," Chu Meng’s heart started pounding the moment she heard Shen Yao’s words. Being very astute, she immediately sensed the implied meaning in Shen Yao’s words and quickly denied it. At the same time, her complexion changed, and she spoke very seriously to Shen Yao, thinking to herself that Lin Feng was right there and she absolutely could not let him notice anything; otherwise, she really didn’t know how she would face her junior brother.
After speaking, Chu Meng took the opportunity to glance at Lin Feng while talking to Shen Yao and, not seeing any change in his expression, her anxious heart finally calmed down a bit. She thought to herself that it was fortunate that Lin Feng hadn’t noticed anything and silently congratulated herself. She also made a note to watch her words more carefully in the future when smart Shen Yao was around, lest some accident occur.
Chu Meng now felt that her inner world was incredibly complex, a feeling she had never encountered before. The complexity made her extremely bewildered; she truly didn’t know how to handle such a complicated situation. Despite being well aware that Lin Feng already had so many women by his side, she thought it wouldn’t be right to get involved herself. Yet another voice inside told her that Lin Feng was one of a kind in the world, and if she let him slip away, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Thus, she found herself in turmoil over this conflicting thought for quite some time, uncertain of what choice to make. Usually, when she was alone, Chu Meng would focus all her attention on revenge and not feel anything. But now that Shen Yao had come, some worrying signs had become apparent in the past couple of days, causing Chu Meng’s heart to feel very uneasy. If Shen Yao really discovered her thoughts, what would Shen Yao think of her as a senior sister? What would Ding Wan’er do to her as a senior sister?
Thinking about this, Chu Meng’s headache worsened. She increasingly felt that she was losing control of the situation because she was gradually falling for her junior brother. This realization filled Chu Meng with panic, not knowing how to face this issue...
"You, Yaoyao, I am your senior sister and you should not speak to your senior sister like that; it’s very impolite."
Hearing the senior sister say this, Lin Feng came forward to mediate, simply chiding Shen Yao with a gentle tone that contained no real reproach. He wasn’t really blaming Shen Yao; he was just trying to give his senior sister a way out.
However, since Shen Yao had already sensed that something was amiss, Lin Feng obviously must have known as well. But Lin Feng did not openly express his feelings on the matter, preferring to let things take their natural course. This was like the original situation with Shen Yao; she had to come to understand some things and make her own decisions. The matter could not be forced, which Lin Feng understood very well. His senior sister just needed time, nothing more.
"I was just joking, haha, senior sister, you don’t need to react so strongly. Alright, I apologize to you, senior sister. I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have said those words." Now that she had heard Chu Meng’s reaction, Shen Yao immediately confirmed her previous suspicion: the senior sister had developed feelings for Lin Feng. Otherwise, the senior sister would not have had such a response. However, Shen Yao wasn’t upset about Chu Meng having such thoughts, because knowing how impressive Lin Feng was, it was very normal for her senior sister to be moved by Lin Feng after being around such a charming person for so long.
Once Shen Yao thought of this, she felt relieved and looked at Chu Meng with newfound brightness in her eyes. Suddenly, she remembered an issue: it would indeed be wonderful if her senior sister became Lin Feng’s woman. On one hand, her senior sister was incredibly beautiful and absolutely matched Lin Feng; on the other hand, her senior sister’s business acumen was astonishing. Lin Feng’s side just so happened to lack such a woman, and recently, it seemed like it was the senior sister who had been helping Lin Feng handle business affairs. In this light, if the senior sister really became one of Lin Feng’s women, it would be beneficial in every way.
The more Shen Yao thought about it, the more she felt the benefits that Chu Meng would bring by being Lin Feng’s woman. Not to mention, Lin Feng already had so many outstanding women by his side, each excelling in different areas; adding the senior sister wouldn’t make much difference. Thinking this, a smile suddenly appeared on Shen Yao’s face, and her mind began to plan how she could help her senior sister make this decision, hoping to help her senior sister become one of Lin Feng’s women.
Of course, Shen Yao also knew that such thoughts should only be planned internally and not revealed externally. Otherwise, it would put her senior sister in an embarrassing position, and things could backfire. Now, as Shen Yao looked at Chu Meng, she was already planning what to do once they got to Australia...
"You, always joking at my expense as your senior sister, I won’t hold you up any longer. I’ll go have a drink by myself." Hearing Shen Yao say this, Chu Meng’s heart began to pound even harder. She felt that Shen Yao had truly sensed something, and at this moment, Chu Meng thought it best not to stay here any longer. The more one talks, the more one slips. It would be better to leave this place, so Shen Yao wouldn’t seize upon anything further, leaving her at a disadvantage.
With this in mind, Chu Meng got up, intending to leave the movie theater and give the space to her junior brother and Shen Yao, not wanting to be a third wheel any longer. She planned to go to the bar to have some drinks to steady her emotions and gather her thoughts, so as to not let her junior brother notice anything.
What Chu Meng didn’t consider was that it was already too late for such thoughts, as Lin Feng had long since sensed something.
"You really should not talk to your senior sister like that in the future," Lin Feng said, watching Chu Meng rush away with a sense of speechlessness. If he didn’t understand what was happening by this point, he wouldn’t be Lin Feng. Turning back to look at Shen Yao, he spoke softly, without any hint of blame, because he roughly understood why Shen Yao was behaving in such a way.
"Lin Feng, you saw it too?"
"Yep."
"Hehe, senior sister is really nice," Ding Wan’er said.
"What do you think?" Lin Feng asked.
"I’m thinking about how to make senior sister become one of the sisters too."
"Why do you think that too?"
"Senior sister can truly be by your side and help you."
"Forget it, there are already enough women around me."
"One more senior sister wouldn’t make a difference."
...
After Chu Meng left, Shen Yao and Lin Feng watched a movie and chatted together. Under Shen Yao’s deliberate arrangement, they intentionally focused the conversation on Chu Meng. The two discussed matters related to Chu Meng. Shen Yao genuinely believed that having Chu Meng by Lin Feng’s side, becoming Lin Feng’s woman, was a good thing. Conversely, Lin Feng felt that such matters shouldn’t be forced and that it was better to let things take their natural course. Besides, he already found there were too many women around him and was starting to feel like he couldn’t take care of them all. He didn’t want to expand the group any further.
However, Shen Yao persisted. Knowing that Lin Feng was aware of the senior sister’s feelings, she felt even more determined to make the senior sister Lin Feng’s woman. Meanwhile, she was planning what she should do after they arrived in Australia...
As for Chu Meng, she settled down in the Ocean Number’s bar, casually selected a bottle of red wine, poured herself a glass, and savored it slowly. Her thoughts were in disarray; she also didn’t know how to face the current situation, especially after sensing Shen Yao’s intentions, which caused Chu Meng to feel even more unsettled...
...
At the same time, at Hill International Airport in Australia, an unbelievable scene was unfolding.
After receiving a call from the Old Monster, the Ancestor of the Nangong Family, Nangong He, hurriedly led Nangong Mingyue and several elders of the Nangong Family to meet Lin Feng. Somehow the news had leaked, and the Yue Family, an emerging cultavation family in Australia, had also heard about it and arrived at Hill International Airport alongside the Nangong Family.
When Nangong He assembled Nangong Mingyue and the elders to pick someone up, he didn’t say much—just mentioned that the person coming could help the Nangong Family overcome their difficulties. This made Nangong Mingyue and the elders extremely surprised and even more perplexed. They all wondered who the Ancestor could possibly be picking up. Nangong He was, after all, the Ancestor of the Nangong Family; very few people in the world were distinguished enough to warrant a personal reception from him. They were puzzled about who could possibly have the power to help the Nangong Family through their current predicament.
Since the Ancestor hadn’t explained, Nangong Mingyue and the others felt it inappropriate to pry further, so they rushed to Hill International Airport, considering there would be time to learn the details upon arrival.
Once members of the Nangong Family reached the airport, they waited outside the exit. It was then that Nangong Mingyue couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Ancestor, who exactly are we here to pick up? Could it be the Old Monster from Capital City?" Full of questions, Nangong Mingyue saw that they had arrived and thus asked the Ancestor. He genuinely wanted to know who was coming, thinking that the Old Monster couldn’t leave Capital City. So who was this person arriving? Could anyone possibly take the Old Monster’s place? That seemed impossible, as everyone knew the Old Monster was the foremost figure in the Cultivation World and the only one who could rival the Ancestor of the Li Family. So... who had the capability to help the Nangong Family? Nangong Mingyue truly couldn’t figure it out.
"Ancestor, yes, we’re all curious. Who exactly is the visitor?" Nangong Pingfeng, of average stature and wearing a black traditional Chinese outfit that made him look about middle-aged, also joined in with his question. Ever since the Ancestor had summoned them, he had been very curious about who could be coming to aid the Nangong Family. Like Nangong Mingyue, he couldn’t believe that the Old Monster would personally intervene, given the well-known fact that the Old Monster was enshrined in Capital City and couldn’t possibly leave.
