Chapter 1: The Embarrassing Crossing
Before nightfall, casualty reports were already out!
It was much better than expected. The people in the mining area hid in the mine and sealed the entrance with rocks, losing only a dozen or so people.
The only unexpected thing was that the newly appointed guardian of the mine, Lie Feng Mao Yuan, bravely fought against the collision gold mouse beast to allow his subordinates to return to the town to report the news, and died miserably under the collision gold mouse beast's forehead.
Lie Feng hastily withdrew a portion of the family warriors, filled the vacant mine guards, and arranged for the miners to return home, comforting the townspeople. Additionally, she wrote a letter and dispatched someone to rush back to Lie Feng City, detailing this matter in a report to the Lie Feng Family.
After sending someone to investigate the area within a radius of thirty miles around Tuanxing Town, and confirming that there were no signs of the golden mouse beast, they finally felt slightly at ease knowing it had thoroughly left.
Night falls.
The living room of the Consulate General's residence.
Fierce wind, Liè Fēng's demeanor was solemn as he sat in the center, his beastly blood sacrifice to the gods of the clock tower.
Lin Xiao Feng has gained recognition from all over the town and the Lie Feng Family warriors due to his outstanding performance, he sat beside Lie Feng Jue Zhi.
Lie Feng didn't hide anything from him either and told him some things.
It turned out that a month ago, within the territory of the Bao Yuan family in the north of Yu Lian Mountain, there was an incident where a group of Golden Mouse Beasts rushed into the city. Later, the Bao Yuan family sent a powerful team of Beastmasters to kill most of the Golden Mouse Beasts, and the remaining ones were driven out of the Bao Yuan family's territory!
The Lie Feng family received news that Jin Shu Beast had escaped to the southern part of Yu Lian Mountain, and Lie Feng Li Zi came for this matter.
But she explored the Yu Lian Mountain several times, only to find that there were only sporadic appearances of takins, without any signs of a takin herd. She thought that the takin herd had moved to another place and was preparing to leave Dongxing Town!
Who would have thought that a group of golden hamsters would suddenly attack the town today!
"Nowadays, most of the golden mice have been killed, and there are less than a hundred left, which can't form a climate. Moreover, the golden mice are timid, so many have died, and they don't dare to come to Dongxing Town again!"
The fierce wind shook its body and said with a relieved expression.
Lie Feng slowly said: "The collision of the Golden Mouse Beast is just a first-level monster, and the rest even if they dare to come, are not enough to be worried about. You can rest assured that you will return to Lie Feng City to report back!"
Lie Feng Li Zi nodded, turned his head to look at Lin Xiao Feng, and smiled: "This time against the Jin Shu beast, your contribution is the greatest. I will definitely report it to the family as it is and reward you according to your merits."
"Defeating monsters and protecting the town is also what I should do." Lin Xiao Feng smiled in response.
Lü Feng Jù Zī and Lü Feng Zhōng Mǐn both appreciate Lin Xiao Feng's attitude, especially Lü Feng Jù Zī, whose charming eyes sparkle with an enchanting glow.
Just then, a loud voice came from outside: "Report to the Honorable Judge, the head of the Qin family requests an audience."
Qin Wuqiang? What is he doing here at this time?
"Let him in!" said Lie Feng coldly.
"Yes!"
Before long, Qin Wuqiang with his white hair walked slowly into the living room.
"What's the situation in town?" Lie Feng asked.
Qin Wu Gong bowed and said, "The families who suffered losses have all been properly settled. The various families in the town discussed it and decided to jointly donate another half of the money to help them rebuild their homes and comfort their loved ones."
Lie Feng nodded slowly with a hint of satisfaction. The relationship between the people of Dongxing Town was not so harmonious before, but after being invaded by the Golden Mouse Beast once, it became more harmonious, which is a good thing. At least, he won't have to listen to complaints in Dongxing Town in the future. If they encounter monster attacks again, everyone will unite and it will be easier to command.
"I heard that Miss Lìzī is leaving tomorrow!" Qin Wǔqíng's expression was somewhat strange.
Liefeng Liuzi Phoenix Eyes swept a glance at him and said: "The collision of the Golden Mouse Beast group should not come again, you can rest assured."
"Is!" he said, pausing for a moment, "I have some private matters I'd like to discuss with Young Master Lin."
Fierce wind startled her into a slight smile, she stood up and said: "I'm going to inspect the mining area once more, to make sure everything is alright before I can leave with peace of mind, you all continue your conversation!"
"This old man is exhausted, and the battle with the first-class monster has consumed so much spiritual power. I also need to go back and rest well!" Muttering to himself, Lie Feng Zhong Min slowly got up, leaning on his staff and walking out of the living room in a slow and leisurely manner.
In the living room, only Lin Xiaofeng and Qin Wujing were left!
"Please have a seat!"
"There's no outsider," Lin Xiao Feng said calmly.
Qin Wu Gong was taken aback by the honor, and hastily said: "Young Master Lin, please don't address me in such a manner, I am unworthy of it!"
Lin Xiaofeng didn't force it either, and calmly said: "You've come this time, if there's something on your mind, just say it straight out!"
Qin Wu's face revealed a hint of shame as he said, "That ungrateful wretch, Wu Zhong, owes his life to you, Lin Gongzi. If it weren't for your timely intervention, he would have lost his dog life. He's still bedridden from the fright. I've come this time to thank you for saving his life!"
"It's just a small effort." Lin Xiao Feng said calmly.
He glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, and Qin Wuqiang let out a light sigh, saying in a tone of regret: "A hundred years ago, the Qin family and the Lin family had a good relationship, and they were both middle-to-upper-class families in Tuanxing Town. Your Lin family also had good fields and several shops, with a solid foundation, but for generations, there was only one child per generation, and the population became smaller and smaller, while our Qin family became more and more prosperous, becoming the number one family in Tuanxing Town!"
At this point, Qin Wu Jing paused for a moment and said sincerely: "Now that the Lin family has produced an excellent beast warrior like you, the Lin family will surely prosper. My Qin family was wrong to your family in the past, but please give us a chance to make up for it and let the two families restore their old friendship."
When he heard this, Lin Xiaofeng's heart was moved.
"Speak!"
"I, Qin Shi, plan to allocate 50 mu of land and a portion of money for the Lin family to rebuild their mansion." Qin Wu Cheng solemnly said: "Your parents' and ancestors' graves will also be expanded and renovated, becoming a dedicated cemetery for the Lin family. From now on, there will be someone responsible for taking care of it, resolving your concerns about the afterlife."
Lin Xiaofeng and his sister went to Lie Feng City, the ancestral business here cannot be easily abandoned, it needs someone to take care of it, Qin Wuqiang's request is exactly what Lin Xiaofeng wants!
Besides, if Lin Xiao Feng is qualified to establish a Beastmaster clan in the future, this ancestral land will be his foundation.
"You've made such great sacrifices, shouldn't there be something else?"
Qin Wu let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "Lin Gongzi's guess is correct, I indeed have something to ask of you."
"Speak!" Lin Xiao Feng said calmly.
"Half a year ago, at the Beast Blood Sacrifice, Shan Er successfully merged with beast blood and became the only person in town to have done so. He was subsequently sent to Lie Feng City. However, it seems that the effect of Shan Er's merged beast blood is not good, and he still hasn't grasped his beast ability until now."
Qin Wu Cheng helplessly said: "His talent is far from comparable to yours, I'd like to ask Young Master Lin, if there's a chance, please help him!"
