Lin Feng stood up and walked over to a group of people surrounding the dinner table, chatting happily, immediately attracting many gazes.
After all, Lin Feng's ungrateful and offensive behavior towards Nalan Feng just now was known to everyone.
"Anything wrong?" someone asked Lin Feng with an unfriendly gaze.
Lin Feng took out a handful of silver coins and threw them on the table, laughing: "May I sit down?"
"Can, of course." The few people's faces immediately changed, and they put on a friendly attitude. In the Jiuxiao Continent, the main currency is gold, silver, and yuan stone. However, for low-level individuals who do not belong to noble families, yuan stones are too luxurious, and their expenses still need to be maintained with gold and silver.
The cost of martial arts is very high, and as for gold and silver, no one would dislike them.
Several people made room for Lin Feng to sit down and asked him: "Brother, is there anything we can help you with?"
"Hmm, I find it strange. Nalan Feng has gathered the outstanding young men from several major families here, what's the purpose of this?" Lin Feng asked.
"Brother, you've asked the right person. The Lord of the City is planning to invite several major families to hold a martial arts gathering in Yangzhou City, and Nalan Feng is the one who has been invited. So, Miss Nalan is conveying the Lord's intentions through the most outstanding young masters of each family... Of course, there's another layer of meaning behind Nalan Feng..."
The man paused, selling the suspense and said: "As everyone knows, every year's martial arts conference in Yangzhou City is dominated by young people, and this time is no exception. Nalan Feng, as the representative of the city lord's mansion, invited the elites of other families to gather here, which is to test each other's strength, know oneself and know others."
Lin Feng smiled slightly, the martial assembly in Yangzhou City was not a secret, and it was precisely because of the upcoming martial assembly that he deliberately did not return to the sect, but instead chose to stay temporarily.
"I heard that this time the Yangzhou City's martial arts gathering will be different from previous ones, and they will also invite outstanding young people from Yangzhou City who do not belong to any of the major families. I wonder if this is true or false?" Lin Feng asked, without revealing his expression.
"That's right, there is such a thing. Qiulian has some reputation in Yangzhou City, and the city master's mansion wants to use her to gather those people. As long as they are talented young people from Yangzhou City who want to participate in this martial arts gathering, they can achieve their goal through Qiulian."
"I understand, thank you for letting me know." Lin Feng said politely and returned to his seat, he had already gotten the information he wanted.
Lowering his head, Lin Feng ate and drank alone, out of place with the lively atmosphere of the entire wine house.
"Nalan Hai, that little brat, actually dared to be disrespectful to the young lady. Go and get rid of him." At this time, a cold voice came out, causing the wine house to suddenly quiet down. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw two figures slowly walking down from the stairs leading to the second floor, one of whom was the green-clad girl who had been accompanying Nalan Feng earlier, and the other was Nalan Hai, who had gone upstairs to settle the bill."
"That guy is doomed." The crowd's gaze involuntarily turned to Lin Feng, with a hint of sympathy.
"This guy is asking for trouble, this time he's gotten himself into a mess. Hopefully in the future his eyes will be open and he'll know that not everyone can be messed with."
The crowd in the wine house whispered among themselves. In their opinion, Lin Feng was done for, having offended Nalan Feng. It wasn't something that could be settled just by saying it was settled.
However, Lin Feng seemed to have not seen the reactions of the people in the wine house, his head still lowered, drinking a small amount of wine, eating some dishes, unable to see his face, and even more unable to see his expression.
"Hmph, looking for death." Nalan Hai sneered, his expression icy cold, slowly walking towards Lin Feng.
"You're quite impressive, still so calm. Walking up to Lin Feng's side, Nalan Hai sneered and said: "You've offended Princess Nalan, prepare to face the consequences."
"What's the point of talking nonsense with him? Just get rid of him directly." The green-clothed girl said impatiently.
"Hehe, good." Nalan Hai's folding fan fluttered open, his demeanor elegant and refined, but the opened fan was as sharp as a knife blade.
Lin Feng's head finally lifted, and he gave Nalan Hai a cold glance. His chilly gaze made Nalan Hai's body tremble slightly. It was him, actually him.
The aura on his body suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Nalan Hai did not expect that the person who offended Nalan Feng was actually Lin Feng, the mastermind behind many recent rumors.
Nalan Hai naturally knew that most of the rumors were false. Not long ago, in this Listening Wind Pavilion, he had personally witnessed Lin Feng's strength, which was not only powerful but also extremely overbearing. Perhaps it couldn't be described as overbearing, but rather sharp, like a sword out of its scabbard, radiating cold light and being razor-sharp.
Moreover, Nalan Hai also heard that Lin Feng and his son were expelled, not because of how powerful Lin Ba Dao was, but because the eldest elder of the Lin family had stepped forward. As for Lin Feng, he had shown off his sharp edges at yesterday's Lin Family Annual Meeting.
"Scram." Lin Feng's icy tone sent a shiver down Nalan Hai's spine, and his impression of Lin Feng's sharpness was reinforced. His feet also involuntarily took a step back.
"Nalan Hai, are you still not going to make a move?" The green-clothed girl said with slight anger upon seeing Nalan Hai not only failing to take down Lin Feng but instead retreating.
However, Nalan Hai seemed as if he hadn't heard her words and turned around, pulling her along saying "Let's go."
As he spoke, he suddenly left directly.
"Was it Nalan Feng who made you come?" Lin Feng's cold voice caused Nalan Hai's footsteps to hesitate for a moment, without answering, he lifted his feet again and dragged the green-clad girl away.
Lin Feng sneered inwardly, having already made his judgment. Those who thought themselves superior didn't want to take action themselves, so they sent their underlings instead, and yet still spoke with such elegance.
He downed the wine in his cup, and Lin Feng stood up, putting on a black raincoat that covered him from head to toe, before stepping out into the heavy rain.
The people in the Wind and Cloud Tavern looked at this strange young man with full of doubts in their hearts.
"Who is this young man, who can actually make Nalan Hai retreat with just one word? He's so arrogant and carefree." The crowd was guessing in their minds, they thought Lin Feng was finished, but they didn't expect that the other party had real abilities, judging from Nalan Hai's behavior, he was obviously afraid of Lin Feng.
"Nalan Hai, what do you mean?" The green-clothed girl shook off Nalan Hai's hand and asked angrily.
"He is Lin Feng." Nalan Hai replied.
"What's wrong with Lin Jia's useless Lin Feng?"
"What nonsense is this, Lu'er? You actually believe the rumors spread by the Lin family. According to our City Lord's information, at the Lin family's New Year's gathering yesterday, Lin Feng made a remark that caused Lin Wu to roll on the ground, and then defeated Lingwu Realm's Lin Hong from behind. If not for the intervention of the Lin family's Supreme Elder, Lin Hong would not be standing here today, but would have been killed by Lin Feng."
"What? You're saying he can defeat Lin Hong of the Spiritual Martial Realm and even kill him, how is that possible?" The green-clothed girl said disbelievingly.
"This is absolutely true, if you don't believe me, you can ask Miss later." Nalan Hai smiled wryly. Before meeting Lin Feng at the Listen to the Wind Pavilion last time, he also thought that Lin Feng was like the rumors said, a useless person and a shame to the Lin family. But in fact, it turned out that all of this was just a rumor spread by the Lin family, possibly intentionally done by Lin Ba Dao for his own purposes.
Actually, Lin Hai was also wrong, in fact, the previous Lin Feng was indeed a waste.
Lin Feng left the Listening Wind Pavilion, led Qianli Xue, and didn't go too far. Instead, he came to an inn not far from the Listening Wind Pavilion. At this point, he couldn't return to the Lin residence, and Yangzhou City had no other place for him to stay, so he could only live in the inn.
He chose a superior room, spacious and quiet, without anyone disturbing him. Lin Feng began his martial arts training. Now he yearned for great power, only when his strength became strong enough could he openly and justly take back the humiliation given to himself and his father.
One day, he will make the Lin family regret what they did yesterday. Moreover, Lin Feng won't let that day be too far away.
