Leng i clearly rembered her younger brother once saying that there were only a handful of S-level cultivators in the entire country, and most of them were devoted to their cultivation in hiding, seldom involving themselves in worldly affairs. This included her brother’s S-level master as well, who was nearly indistinguishable from the immortals of legends, just one step away. Except for their inability to fly, they had almost transcended the bounds of mortals, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, capable of destroying skyscrapers with a re wave of their hand...
However, Leng i still harbored little hope that this Liu Hong would be able to successfully heal Grandpa ng’s injuries. If Liu Hong’s dical skills were truly as formidable as Yuan Kun had claid, her grandfather wouldn’t have been so anxious for her to bring Lin Feng back to Capital City. Both her and her grandfather’s illnesses had been personally cured by Lin Feng, and there was the miraculous case of Qian Duoduo’s injury that still lingered in Leng i’s mind...
When Lin Feng first saw Leng i speaking with her brother, he stood by, silently watching. After glancing at Leng i’s brother, Leng Hao, Lin Feng could tell at once that he was an A-level peak master. After ntally appraising him as impressive, Lin Feng took out his phone and sent a ssage to Ding Wan’er and Shen Yao, letting them know he and Leng i had arrived in Capital City.
What Lin Feng had not anticipated was that, just after sending the ssage, he heard that a man nad Yuan Kun had invited an S-level dical Sage nad Liu Hong to treat General ng. Lin Feng was genuinely surprised. He had originally thought ng Ping’s condition wasn’t too severe, but the current situation made it clear that ng Ping’s condition must be terrible if they had called upon an S-level dical expert. No wonder Leng Hui was so eager to have him co and examine ng Ping.
All of a sudden, Lin Feng rembered what his step-master had once told him: S-level masters in the Cultivation World usually didn’t understand dicine, but there were still a few who did. Lin Feng was cautioned to be wary of those S-level masters who were versed in dical arts, as they were as resilient as cockroaches and possessed so extraordinary lifesaving dicines. If things truly got out of hand, it would be troubleso.
It’s like the Li Family’s defective ’suicide pills’ that could turn the tide in desperate tis. The dicines of those S-level masters were generally free of side effects. If they were driven into a corner, anything could happen. Therefore, the old man had warned him that, unless absolutely necessary, one should not provoke those few S-level masters who understood dical techniques.
But he never expected to encounter such an S-level dical expert as Liu Hong in Capital City; it was indeed a surprising turn of events.
"Yes, if it weren’t for relying on my master’s reputation, I wouldn’t be able to invite Master Uncle Liu Hong out of seclusion," Yuan Kun said, pleased with himself for successfully capturing Leng i’s attention. There weren’t many things that interested Leng i. Over the years, his relationship with her had remained cool, and Yuan Kun knew that with Leng i’s icy deanor, if he rushed things, it would likely lead to her aversion and all his efforts would be wasted.
In fact, Yuan Kun’s goal was to let Leng i know he was very capable. Although she was still indifferent towards him, Yuan Kun didn’t mind, his plan had always been to wait a few more years until Leng i was over thirty. Eventually, she would need to marry to deal with family pressures. At that ti, Yuan Kun believed he’d have the best chance and it would be the most appropriate opportunity.
If he could just continue to be soone Leng i didn’t dislike, plus gain the Leng Family’s good opinion, then when the family applied pressure, as long as Leng i wasn’t repulsed by him, he could propose to ease the family pressure with a marriage in na only. By then, Leng i would surely agree, so his marriage to her was nearly a certainty at that point.
This was a move Yuan Kun had already been planning from the mont he had first laid eyes on Leng i. That’s why he had been so relentless in courting Leng Hao and maintaining a good relationship with the Leng Family, in hopes of securing a favorable marriage with Leng i in the future, and to leverage the Leng Family’s power to ascend the ranks. From the ti he made this decision, he had even joined a state-owned enterprise and aid to climb to a certain position first, so that once he could use the Leng Family’s influence, he could soar high and truly attain a high status...
Thinking this, Yuan Kun looked at Leng i, who was as cold as ever, and his own deanor grew even calr. He knew Leng i was intelligent and perceptive, and he couldn’t let her see through anything. For now, the best approach was to do nothing about Leng i, to keep things as they were. He was even more aware that if he just maintained the status quo for a few more years, things would unfold as he expected.
"Sister, the senior brother has done everything he could for Grandpa ng’s illness. This Master Uncle Liu Hong is really amazing, even more skilled than Grandpa Chen. Now there’s hope for Grandpa ng, although it might not be the best outco, it seems to be the only solution for now," Leng Hao added from the side. After returning ho the night before, the senior brother had shared the details with him. He deeply felt that the senior brother had tried his best for Grandpa ng’s illness. At least now, with the arrival of Master Uncle Liu Hong, there was hope for improvent—a stark contrast to before when there seed to be none. For this, Leng Hao was truly grateful for the efforts of the senior brother.
"Little brother, let’s not talk here anymore. Let’s go ho," Leng i interrupted her little brother Leng Hao’s speech. Grandpa ng was still sick at ho waiting for treatnt; lingering here was pointless. She and Lin Feng had arrived, so everyone should head ho first and take care of Grandpa ng’s illness as soon as possible. With Lin Feng around, Leng i was confident that he could handle whatever happened to Grandpa ng.
"Alright, big sis, let’s head ho first," Leng Hao agreed with his sister, thinking she was right. Grandpa ng was still ill, and curing his disease was paramount. Other matters could wait, so heading ho seed best. Besides, this wasn’t the place for discussions.
"Alright, let’s go, the car is just outside." Yuan Kun, seeing the situation, imdiately gestured for everyone to leave, making a polite inviting gesture with his hand, appearing to be the epito of courtesy. In his opinion, behaving like a gentleman in front of Leng i without seeming pretentious, over ti, would surely gain her good graces. To him, as long as Leng i wasn’t repulsed by him, that was enough; everything else was not a problem.
However, what he and Leng Hao hadn’t expected was that, on the way out, Lin Feng was still leading the way, and Leng i was actually just half a step slower. This made Leng Hao notice the issue too. At first, he was only thinking about his sister and hadn’t paid attention to this person nad Lin Feng. But now, realizing that he had co with his sister and that his sister, who never let any man proceed her, was deliberately half a step behind... What was going on?
With this thought, Leng Hao glanced at his eldest senior brother and found him just giving a wry smile and shaking his head helplessly as he followed behind Lin Feng and Leng i.
The group quickly left the airport, and Leng i caught sight of the Humr SUV, which her treasured brother called his wife, and gestured to Lin Feng. The two headed straight for the Humr. Leng Hao unlocked the vehicle from a distance, and Lin Feng didn’t hesitate to get into the car, followed closely by Leng i, who sat right next to him.
Seeing this, Leng Hao grew even more suspicious, thinking, just who is this guy? He’s not showing any respect for my sister or . At the very least, he should have let my sister get into the car first! And what’s even stranger is that my sister would usually never sit with a man, but today she settled next to Lin Feng so naturally... What on earth is going on?
Though his mind was full of speculation, his steps didn’t slow, and he naturally walked over to the driver’s side and got in. However, before starting the car, he took a couple more glances at Lin Feng through the rearview mirror, and then started the vehicle.
anwhile, Yuan Kun, with no choice, took the passenger seat, his mind tumultuously complex. He was already filled with caution and wariness towards this Lin Feng who had appeared so abruptly.
All the details had not escaped his notice: first, Leng i deliberately slowed down half a step to follow behind Lin Feng when they walked out, then there was the way Leng i glanced at Lin Feng while speaking, whether intentional or not, and when Liu Hong’s identity was revealed, even Leng i couldn’t help but show surprise. Yet all Lin Feng did was take a couple of glances and look away, without any expression. Most importantly, Lin Feng hadn’t spoken a single word since his arrival, which was utterly unreasonable!
Who exactly is this Lin Feng?
From his interaction with Leng i, it certainly seed to be much more than just a collegial relationship!
And although Lin Feng hadn’t said much, his deanor suggested that he was definitely no ordinary person.
So...
...
After going over all the events in his mind once again, Yuan Kun ca to the conclusion that this young man nad Lin Feng was certainly not just a simple teacher, and his relationship with Leng i was definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, Leng i would not be traveling with him; such a thing would have been impossible before. So all of this was Leng i’s way of evasion, and this Lin Feng must have so other special identity, otherwise, Leng i would not have brought a strange man back to the Capital City.
The various signs had already told Yuan Kun that this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared to be; now, Yuan Kun was constantly trying to figure out what identity this Lin Feng could possibly have...
