Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 832: Are You Going Traveling?

Regarding the two beautiful women by Lin Feng’s side, Nangong He directly assumed they were Lin Feng’s women. He was somewhat confused, though. Lin Feng had come to confront Li Deming, and bringing two women along—could it be... could it possibly be that Lin Feng really thought this was some sightseeing trip, to travel here with women for leisure?

However, Nangong He only pondered for a moment before he stopped thinking about it. Regardless, Lin Feng was here, and that was enough; having Lin Feng to stand against Li Deming was enough. As for the rest, there was no need for him to worry. Whatever Lin Feng wanted to do was his own business, and he didn’t wish to intrude on Lin Feng’s private life and make Lin Feng unhappy. Therefore, Nangong He merely glanced at the two beauties before moving on.

Lin Feng?

He’s Lin Feng?

He’s the one who defeated Nangong Jingyun?

How could it be him!

...

When Nangong Mingyue heard the Ancestor say this, they all immediately recalled the name Lin Feng. Wasn’t this the person Li Litian mentioned at the last gathering of Prominent Families? Afterward, Nangong Jingyun even went to Tianhai to seek out Lin Feng and ended up being sent back severely injured by him. So it turns out... the person before them was Lin Feng!

With this thought, they all retracted their previous contempt. Nangong Jingyun was the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of the Nangong Family, a high-ranking S-class expert who was still beaten so miserably by Lin Feng, which was enough to indicate Lin Feng’s strength. They were all very clear about this matter.

Though they now restrained their disdain for Lin Feng, knowing his identity filled them with even more disbelief. After Nangong Jingyun was injured last time, the Nangong Family conducted a specialized investigation into Lin Feng. Just a Loose Cultivator with no background in the Cultivation World, he mysteriously disappeared for four years and returned as an incredibly powerful cultivator. They had all believed that Lin Feng must have gone through some special experience during those missing years; otherwise, he couldn’t have become so formidable.

But another issue arose: how powerful could a Loose Cultivator, with no cultivation background and no support from a powerful force, really be? To advance further was purely a fantasy. They, as cultivators, certainly understood how much manpower and material support was needed on the path of cultivation. Without it, individual progress was impossible—an acknowledged fact in the Cultivation World.

Thinking this, they were even more incredulous about Lin Feng’s ability to withstand the Ancestor of Li Family. For Lin Feng, at just over twenty years old, to defeat Nangong Jingyun was already unthinkable. To defeat the Ancestor of Li Family was utterly preposterous. Strength was strength, and the Ancestor of Li Family was now capable of defeating the Old Monster, and to put it bluntly, had already replaced the Old Monster as the foremost person in the Cultivation World. How could Lin Feng possibly stand a chance against the Ancestor of Li Family? It simply wasn’t possible.

Nangong Mingyue and the others instinctively looked towards Lin Feng, failing to understand what the Ancestor was thinking in inviting Lin Feng here, so confidently assuming Lin Feng could help the Nangong Family out of their predicament. Could it be... could it be that the Ancestor was really senile? Otherwise, they couldn’t fathom such an absurd decision.

"Lin Feng, the Ancestor has spoken rightly. Let’s leave this place first, talk more back home, then collectively make a thorough plan for the matters ahead. After all, what comes next is of utmost importance and requires careful planning."

Nangong Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what he should do. The Ancestor had already spoken, and he, as the Family Head, certainly had to express his stance. Whatever the case, they should return to the Nangong Clan first and inquire about the specific situation privately with the Ancestor later on, then make further plans. If worst came to worst, they could find a reason to dismiss Lin Feng. Based on the worst-case scenario, even if the Nangong Clan had to be disbanded, they could not let the entire Nangong Clan perish here.

In Nangong Mingyue’s heart, he truly had no hope for Lin Feng, and seeing the two beauties by Lin Feng’s side only added to his speechlessness. This was hardly what one would expect from someone here to aid the Nangong Family; it seemed more like a vacation. Trusting the fate of the Nangong Clan to such an irresponsible person—something that, as the Family Head of the Nangong Clan, he found utterly unimaginable. He had to consider the lives of the more than a thousand people under him...

The Elders did not say a word, each of them nodding at Lin Feng in greeting. In their eyes, even nodding to Lin Feng was an act of giving face. A torrent of confusion filled their minds: why was the ancestor so respectful towards Lin Feng? What virtues and abilities did Lin Feng possess to deserve such treatment by the ancestor? But, with the ancestor present, regardless of what they thought, they could not act on it. The ancestor was the ancestor, the eternal guardian of the Nangong Clan, and they could not defy him.

"I won’t be returning with you just yet. My initial plan for this trip was to take a tour, after all. It’s not often I get to visit Australia, so I intend to go sightseeing around the place. Elder Nangong, here’s my contact information. When the Li Family arrives, contact me, and I’ll naturally come over."

Upon hearing Nangong He’s words, Lin Feng immediately dismissed his intentions and took out a slip of paper from his pocket to hand to Nangong He. How could he possibly return with Nangong He now? This trip was meant to be a relaxing getaway with his senior sister and Shen Yao. The confrontation with Li Deming was only secondary, and besides, the Li Family wouldn’t be arriving for a few more days. If that was the case, there was no point in going to the Nangong Household and idling there when he could be using that time elsewhere.

As a result, it was impossible for Lin Feng to return with Nangong He to the Nangong Clan now. He had already promised Shen Yao and his senior sister on the plane that they would go have a seafood feast together. He couldn’t possibly go back with Nangong He. Why else would he have brought Shen Yao and his senior sister to Australia?

"What... You’re not going back with me? Well, alright then. I’ll notify you when the people from the Li Family arrive. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy your trip."

Nangong He was stunned by Lin Feng’s response, and his initial belief that Lin Feng intended to take care of the Li Family issues before sightseeing was shattered. It was utterly inconceivable to him. Could it be... Could Lin Feng be so confident in facing Li Deming that he needed no preparation at all?

At this point, Nangong He’s mind raced, trying to fathom what Lin Feng’s actions meant. He had witnessed the Old Monster’s courteous attitude towards Lin Feng and believed him when he said Lin Feng could help the Nangong Family through their crisis. However, it didn’t mean Lin Feng would feel no pressure facing Li Deming—that was simply impossible! Even the Old Monster, a man on the brink of the Profound Realm, wasn’t a match for Li Deming. And yet, Lin Feng was taking Li Deming so lightly; just how formidable was Lin Feng, it was almost beyond his imagination.

Suddenly, another question struck Nangong He. If Lin Feng was unaware of how formidable Li Deming was, Nangong He wouldn’t believe it. The Old Monster would definitely have informed Lin Feng of Li Deming’s strength. It was inconceivable that he hadn’t. If Lin Feng could maintain such composure now, then it only implied one thing: Lin Feng was either a fool, or he truly possessed ample strength. Obviously, Lin Feng was no fool, so the answer seemed clear.

Though it was difficult to comprehend just how Lin Feng had reached such an extraordinary level, that was no longer important. After all, the term "miraculous" was inadequate to describe Lin Feng’s capabilities, particularly since the Old Monster had been defeated by him, implying that Lin Feng was at least on par with Li Deming. With that realization, Nangong He dawned on a newfound clarity and everything became clear.

"Ancestor, we can’t just let Lin Feng leave like this! What, Lin Feng, you’re off to travel? That’s out of the question. The ancestor has already extended such a gracious invitation; this is a great honor. In the entire Cultivation World, you’re the first one the ancestor has treated this way. You should at least return to the Nangong Household with us before anything else. Your actions belittle our Nangong Household."

Nangong Mingyue, upon witnessing the exchange between Lin Feng and the ancestor, was immediately enraged. Although the Nangong Family was in a critical situation, they were still a nearly millenium-old prominent Cultivating Family that couldn’t tolerate Lin Feng’s disdain, let alone when met with such a warm invitation from the ancestor. Yet Lin Feng showed no regard, stating he’d go on vacation, opting to only deal with the Li Family upon their arrival—this was utterly arrogant. Who did he think he was, to behave so presumptuously as if he was the unparalleled best in the world? What a joke!

Although the ancestor said nothing, standing as the head of the Nangong Family, Nangong Mingyue couldn’t bear anyone disregarding the Nangong Family’s authority. The ancestor had given Lin Feng immense respect, and Lin Feng should at the very least pay a visit to the Nangong Household. That was only proper. But Lin Feng’s response was nothing short of an outright challenge, a provocation against the Nangong Family, something he couldn’t tolerate.

Moreover, Nangong Mingyue had already decided Lin Feng wouldn’t be able to stand against Li Deming. In light of this, he felt there was no need to give Lin Feng any favors. Someone so oblivious and arrogant was of no use to the Nangong Family, especially a helper with no apparent value; blindsidingly conceited before even lifting a finger—how could someone like that help the Nangong Family overcome its plight? It was downright impossible.

So, upon hearing Lin Feng speak thus, Nangong Mingyue barely managed to contain himself before, unable to hold back any longer, he furiously scolded Lin Feng. In his view, the ancestor must have been misled by Lin Feng. No matter how strong Lin Feng was, it was unlikely he could match Ancestor of Li Family, Li Deming. It would be better to part ways then and there at the airport, and not to rely on Lin Feng’s assistance. Perhaps without Lin Feng, there would still be a slight chance for the Nangong Family to endure: a one in ten thousand chance, but a chance nonetheless!
