"It’s all thanks to Old Liu’s modesty," Zhu Tao quickly deferred with so embarrassnt on his face. If it weren’t for fear of embarrassing Lin Feng, he wouldn’t have wanted to give his all. But this was just as well; he had long felt that Liu Pingfeng was a true master who was indifferent to everything and wouldn’t fuss over such matters. Therefore, he didn’t hold back at all last night.
"Old Liu, did you co to Tianhai to see for a particular reason?" Lin Feng, hearing the two speak thus, instantly had a rough idea of what had happened last night. However, he quickly changed the subject and asked Liu Pingfeng a question. Why had Leng Hao and Liu Pingfeng rushed to Tianhai so urgently?
"Lin Feng, the first reason I ca to Tianhai was to see for myself what kind of person you are, and now I’ve seen you," Liu Pingfeng began. "The second is to apologize on behalf of my unworthy eldest disciple to you. It’s all because I was too focused on cultivation and failed in my teaching that Yuan Kun ended up in such a state and caused trouble for you, Lin Feng."
Listening to Lin Feng, Liu Pingfeng answered his question with a very sincere tone. This was genuinely what he thought in his heart. Coming to Tianhai was indeed to witness Lin Feng for himself and to offer an apology. He felt disgraced to have ntored a disciple like Yuan Kun. Although Yuan Kun had reaped what he sowed, as Yuan Kun’s master, he felt it was sothing he ought to do and indeed must do.
"Old Liu, no need to say such things; it’s all in the past," Lin Feng responded after hearing Liu Pingfeng’s words, filled with admiration. An S-level master possessing such an attitude was truly rare. From this perspective, Liu Pingfeng was a real sage who discerned right from wrong and was indifferent to fa and fortune. Not everyone could achieve that. Bearing this in mind, Lin Feng’s good opinion of Liu Pingfeng increased greatly.
"Well, it’s over now. If I didn’t speak up, I would always feel like there’s a weight on my heart. Lin Feng, I’ve always had a question I wanted to ask you, though I’m not sure if it’s proper to do so," said Liu Pingfeng, pleased with Lin Feng’s manner of speaking. After expressing what was in his heart and easing his conscience, he felt considerably more at ease. He then proceeded with a question he had in mind. He was curious to know what realm of expertise Lin Feng had reached, but after a mont’s thought, he decided it would be better to phrase it more tactfully.
"Please, Old Liu, feel free to ask," Lin Feng replied indifferently. For a master like Liu Pingfeng, whom he genuinely respected, he would certainly answer any question he could.
"I’m curious about what level of master you are," Liu Pingfeng, reassured by Lin Feng’s response, finally voiced the question that had lingered in his mind. With Lin Feng’s guidance, Zhu Tao had beco such a master, and he genuinely wondered what level of expertise Lin Feng had achieved...
"It’s not that I won’t tell you, Old Liu; it’s that I myself am not quite clear on it," Lin Feng laughed as he replied to Liu Pingfeng’s question. Truthfully, he really hadn’t figured it out. He had never encountered the usual bottlenecks faced by normal cultivators, and his cheap master had told him that he was on an entirely different path from ordinary cultivators—one without distinct levels.
"Oh? I see! Lin Feng, I really don’t know how to describe you anymore," Liu Pingfeng initially paused upon hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, but knowing the sincerity in Lin Feng’s expression, he believed that what Lin Feng said was true. He quickly realized that perhaps Lin Feng was indeed traveling a completely different path from ordinary cultivators, which explained why Lin Feng said what he did. Otherwise, if Lin Feng had followed the regular path of cultivation, it was impossible for him not to know the realm of his own mastery, or to have such incredible strength at such a young age!
With this in mind, all of Liu Pingfeng’s doubts were resolved. He looked at Lin Feng with great emotion, not surprised that soone so young possessed such unearthly power. Lin Feng truly was an anomaly in the Cultivation World, and everything suddenly made sense. Lin Feng was simply too extraordinary, which made him wonder just how extraordinary Lin Feng’s master must be...
"Hehe, Old Liu, don’t be so amazed. Zhu Tao and I felt exactly the sa when we first saw Lin Feng," Wan Long said with a laugh from the side. To be honest, he too had long wondered what level of expertise Lin Feng possessed, yet no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t grasp it. Eventually, he stopped trying to guess, content with knowing that Lin Feng was much more powerful than him. As for the rest, it really wasn’t necessary to split hairs over it.
What’s more, one important thing stood out: he was no longer surprised by Lin Feng’s miraculous abilities. Having ntored Zhu Tao into such a top-tier master, Lin Feng’s capabilities remained a question not worth delving into too deeply; knowing the specifics wouldn’t make a difference.
"Everything the young master said is true," added Zhu Tao from the side with a chuckle. He’d always felt that Lin Feng transcended the common knowledge of the Cultivation World, that Lin Feng himself was a miracle within it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t follow Lin Feng so willingly.
"I know, it’s hard to imagine that there’s soone as amazing as Lin Feng in the world."
"Old Liu flatters ."
"Lin Feng, may I ask about your master?"
"To tell you the truth, I don’t even know his na."
"Hehe, that’s right, a true sage."
"Old Liu, when do you plan to return?"
"I’ll stay here a few days; the environnt is nice."
"Having Old Liu stay with , I couldn’t be more pleased. It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to discuss and spar with you."
"I feel the sa."
"Brother Lin, who is the sister behind you?"
"Lin Jie, this is Leng Hao, Leng i’s brother."
"Nice to et you, Leng Hao!"
"Hello, Sister Lin."
...
Everyone chatted casually, as there were no barriers among them, except for Lin Jie who t everyone for the first ti. Everyone was at ease, and Lin Feng answered Liu Pingfeng’s questions without reserve, speaking exhaustively. Lin Feng really liked Liu Pingfeng and respected him sincerely after eting him. With Wan Long and Zhu Tao livening up the atmosphere, the room was often filled with hearty laughter.
Ti flew by and before they knew it, evening approached. Lin Feng glanced at the ti, stood up, and took his leave from everyone.
"Sorry to bother you, Old Liu, I have to go to a concert with Lin Jie tonight. I’ll co by another ti when I’m free," said Lin Feng as he got up, implying that he was leaving to attend a concert with Lin Jie.
"No problem, you go on. It was nice seeing you today. Just co by whenever you have the ti," replied Liu Pingfeng, indicating for Lin Feng to go ahead when he ntioned attending the concert with Lin Jie. He had already seen Lin Feng today, and since Lin Feng had plans, it was fine for him to leave.
"I’ll see you another day," said Lin Feng. He bowed slightly to show his apologies and then led Lin Jie out. They got in the car and headed for the concert venue downtown.
"Xiao Hao, in the future, try to get closer to Lin Feng. It’ll be good for you."
"Yes, Master."
"Old Liu, why don’t you let Xiao Hao get closer to ?"
"I didn’t expect you to be so picky, Wan Long. But you’re right, Xiao Hao, you should also get closer to these two," Liu Pingfeng said.
"I’m just kidding, haha!"
"Young Master Leng Hao, better let the young master give you so guidance," soone teased.
"You don’t have to be so modest. Lin Feng is busy, and you have free ti. Your guidance is just as good," another chid in.
...
After Lin Feng and Lin Jie left, the four individuals in the room resud their conversation, still focusing on Lin Feng. Liu Pingfeng had t Lin Feng today and finally felt reassured about what sort of person Lin Feng really was, hoping that Leng Hao could get closer to Lin Feng. Given Leng Hao’s excellent potential, if he could receive guidance from Lin Feng, he would surely achieve greater success than with his own teaching. Imagining a bright future for Leng Hao filled Liu Pingfeng’s heart with joy.
Wan Long and Zhu Tao also liked Liu Pingfeng very much. They agreed to exchange ideas and spar whenever they had the chance, and they even invited Liu Pingfeng to stay at Songyuan Villa for a while if he had no other commitnts. This would allow them to interact more frequently. Liu Pingfeng was very pleased with this suggestion and readily agreed...
......
By the ti Lin Feng and Lin Jie arrived at the concert venue, many people were already queuing outside, waiting to enter. Lin Jie’s school, as the organizer and expecting a large audience, had specifically arranged for the concert to take place in a newly-built stadium that could accommodate twenty thousand people, to ensure a successful concert.
Looking at several queues that stretched for hundreds of ters, Lin Jie pulled Lin Feng aside to wait for entry. After all, with tickets in hand, they were guaranteed seats, and it made no difference whether they went in early or late.
"Brother Lin Feng, I’m really happy you could co to the concert with ," Lin Jie said.
"As long as you are happy," he replied.
"Brother Lin Feng, I’ve been so busy with my studies, I haven’t had ti to see you."
"Focus on your studies for now, there’s no rush for the rest."
"Brother Lin Feng, can we go to a movie or a concert together once a month?"
"If I’m in Tianhai, that would certainly be no problem."
...
As Lin Jie and Lin Feng waited, they chatted idly to pass the ti. Lin Feng felt that he owed Lin Jie; after all, they had grown up together, and he hadn’t expected that she would decide to be with him. But now that it was agreed upon, he wanted to treat her better. They had so little ti together, with Lin Jie being busy at school and Lin Feng having his own commitnts. He planned to let Lin Jie really enjoy herself today, to make her happy.
However, things didn’t go as planned. Just as Lin Feng and Lin Jie were chatting happily, an out-of-tune voice interrupted them.
