Chapter 985 - 984: Again?
"So that’s how it is."
After hearing his foster master’s words, Lin Feng nodded. He finally understood the state he was in; it was beyond the S-rank of Cultivator Realm, not the Profound Realm. He had become the same as his master.
Looking thoughtfully at his foster master, he now understood why there was such a master-disciple connection between them. It turned out that his foster master had taken a liking to him right when he was born, no wonder he was betrothed to Ding Wan’er—it was all arranged by his foster master. Now, all the mysteries were solved.
Having understood everything, Lin Feng felt truly happy. Looking at his foster master, he was also very moved. Meeting his foster master was the luckiest thing in his life. Without his master, it would have been impossible for him to have everything he now possessed; he might still be a useless young master who knew only how to eat, drink, and be merry.
"Do you have time to talk about that black-robed old man now? This person is despicable, he deserves to die!"
Having finished speaking, Lin Feng waved his hand, and a silver vortex appeared in front of the missile. Subsequently, the appearance of the missile began to blur, and finally, it disappeared into thin air. For the current Lin Feng, doing all this was very simple. He couldn’t have done this before, but now he had realized all the ultimate rules of power.
After figuring everything out, Lin Feng suddenly felt very irritated by that black-robed old man. Looking at where the black-robed old man had disappeared, Lin Feng said indifferently, "I really despise that black-robed old man. What happens to Li Zerui and the Li Family doesn’t concern me at all. Even if that black-robed old man killed Li Zerui, I wouldn’t have any feelings about it."
However, the fact that the black-robed old man continually made Li Zerui misunderstand that he had killed everyone from the Li Family truly annoyed Lin Feng. Today was his big wedding day, and Li Zerui chose this time to cause trouble, undoubtedly the black-robed old man knew everything. So, Lin Feng truly despised this black-robed old man. If possible, he really wanted to teach the black-robed old man a lesson.
"Ha ha... Indeed, he deserves to die; he is indeed despicable. Good disciple, your description is apt. I have fought him for hundreds of years and haven’t managed to kill him. From now on, it’s all up to you." The old man was startled when he heard Lin Feng say this, then he burst into laughter in response. He hadn’t expected his disciple to want to trouble the black old man, which surprised him. But after a brief pause, he understood what Lin Feng meant.
This made the old man very happy. A fighting spirit enables one to progress. He knew what kind of person his disciple was—someone who seeks challenges to gain insights. This path was the same one he had taken. Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the old man couldn’t be happier. Although he had fought the black old man for hundreds of years with no decisive outcome, with his disciple Lin Feng now, the future was truly uncertain. After all, even he couldn’t keep up with his disciple’s growth rate. Predicting the future was really uncertain.
At that moment, the old man even thought about what it would look like if his disciple really dealt with the black old man someday. Just thinking about it felt intriguing, and he really wanted to see that scene.
"Master, what exactly is my current strength?" Lin Feng asked his master seriously. He wanted to know what level he had reached and what his master was truly like, something he had always wanted to know, especially since he knew too little while on the island!
"You are now truly the number one person on Earth," the old man said with a chuckle as he looked at his beloved disciple. He hadn’t expected his disciple to grow this much in such a short time, which pleased him immensely. So, he didn’t hide anything and shared his disciple’s current strength situation. Moreover, he looked forward to how much more his disciple might grow, perhaps even surpassing him someday.
"Number one person on Earth?" When Lin Feng heard his master’s words, he was immediately stunned and turned to look at his master, not understanding what his master meant by the number one person on Earth. He could feel that his master was still far more powerful than him, even the black-clothed old man was. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to be the number one person on Earth.
"You are only number one on Earth, but in this world, you are the third!" the old man said with a chuckle as he looked at his disciple. He understood why his disciple was puzzled, so he explained again. Indeed, strictly speaking, both he and the black-clothed old man didn’t fall under the category of Earth’s top experts, hence his disciple’s reasonable confusion.
"I understand! I’m third; then who are the first two?" Lin Feng immediately grasped his master’s meaning after hearing his words. However, he still wanted to know who was ranked first between his master and the black-clothed old man.
"Your master, of course, ranks first, that old guy is second, and you are third! Silly disciple, pretending to understand when you don’t!" Upon hearing his disciple say this, the old man immediately laughed, looking at his disciple humorously and said sarcastically, thinking that his beloved disciple was purely feigning ignorance with such a question.
"Okay..." Lin Feng laughed at this point. No matter what, becoming the existences only second to his master and the man in black was already quite an achievement. Third place it was, but it was only temporary. Sooner or later, he would surpass the man in black and even his master. He still vividly remembered the moment he had arrived on the island, when his master had kicked him down the cliff. One day, he would return the favor!
"Master..."
Next, he wanted to ask his master several other questions, such as what was the deal with the island he had stayed on—that he could no longer find—and what his master’s true identity was. A series of questions swirled in his mind, but before he could voice them, he saw his master suddenly toss him a box, making him swallow his following words.
What was this?
With curiosity, Lin Feng opened the box to see what was inside. But when he did open it and saw the contents clearly, he was dumbstruck. Inside the Heizi, there were some jade cards that looked like business cards!
"Again?" Lin Feng guessed his master’s intention. When he had returned from the island initially, his master had given him some business cards, telling him that they belonged to his senior brothers and sisters. This time it was jade medallions; had his master gathered more senior brothers and sisters for him? Where did all these seniors come from?
"Channel the True Qi and see this!" Just then, the old man tossed another jade medallion to Lin Feng, grinning at his disciple and observing with a sly look.
Lin Feng took the jade medallion and, following his master’s instruction, channeled True Qi into it. Immediately, information appeared on the medallion, the character for "Xia" in an ancient script prominently displayed and emitting a faint blue glow, looking quite magical.
Seeing this, Lin Feng became incredibly embarrassed. He felt as if the jade medallion in his hand was like the letter of introduction his master had given him when he left the island, and thought, could his master have arranged another marriage for him? How was this supposed to make sense when he was marrying today and already had plenty of women by his side, not wishing to expand the list anymore?
Looking at the women below eyeing this scene, Lin Feng eventually decided he should discuss this with his master. He truly wanted to clarify the situation, especially if it wasn’t about finding him a fiancée.
"Master, take a look. Today is my wedding day. You didn’t find me another fiancée, did you?" He asked seriously as he looked at the old man’s mischievous grin, eager to understand how his master had arranged everything and what the deal with the Shangguan Family truly was.
"Don’t dream too sweetly; just look at the back!" Hearing his disciple’s question, the old man laughed even more joyously and gestured for Lin Feng to check the back of the jade medallion.
When Lin Feng heard this, he lowered his head and turned the jade medallion over, and suddenly saw an address and a contact’s information written on the back, making him freeze, wondering what his master truly meant. Was he supposed to go to that place?
Thinking this, he looked up to ask his master what was going on, but when he did look up, he was shocked to find his master had disappeared. This left Lin Feng speechless, thinking how the old man could just disappear without finishing his sentence.
"Damn, here it goes again!"
Eventually, Lin Feng had no choice but to store the jade medallion and muttered to himself. Though annoyed that his master always talked in halves, he was used to it by now. He also understood what his master meant: these items were obviously meant to send him to the Shangguan Family.
Frankly, he was somewhat interested in the Shangguan Family too. He didn’t understand why his master wanted him to go there. However, looking at the jade medallion, it was clearly not like any typical Prominent Family, which made him curious about the Shangguan Family, and since his master had arranged it this way, he couldn’t possibly defy his master’s command. After all, he owed his present circumstances to his master, even though his master was somewhat unreliable.
After planning what to do in his mind, Lin Feng stepped down from the air, continuing the wedding process. As for visiting the Shangguan Family, he would definitely go, but that could wait until later...
