"You just can’t not leave!"
Dong Xin looked at Li Feng with weak yet autumn-like eyes, the world had few n she admired, and even fewer who could conquer her heart—only this one.
Li Feng glanced at Dong Xin, whose quilt had slipped to reveal her skin, drew a deep breath, and decided to stay. He feared he might not be able to resist, and he had already resorted to the "Child Locking Yang Technique" his grandfather had taught him to prevent Lin Wanzhou’s words from coming true.
"You’ve seen it yourself, Lin Wanzhou is trouble, and I need to deal with it."
Dong Xin knitted her brows slightly; Lin Wanzhou wasn’t the trouble, but Lin Changsheng definitely was.
The connections and backgrounds of the people in Longevity Sect were too extensive and weren’t to be underestimated in the Southeast Five Provinces—they were masters of playing dirty.
"Then be careful, the background of Longevity Sect is complicated, even if Lin Changsheng, the Great Young Master, might not be genuine, the network they’ve built over at least thirty years isn’t fake."
"Also, this ti Century Group might have been seen as easy prey by them. Lin Wanzhou is just a frontman, he likely has many others behind him, and if those people secretly target us, it would indeed be hard to guard against."
Dong Xin knew Li Feng was formidable, for they had t in a boxing ring, but on this world, not all killings were done with martial strength.
"If you’re really in trouble, you can co to anyti."
Dong Xin knew Li Feng might not like to hear it, but she didn’t want him to be pushed into a corner. With her status, even Lin Changsheng would have to hold back a bit, impressive as he might be, there were limits since his connections weren’t truly unlimited.
"Rest assured, but you need to be careful too, Lin Wanzhou might have set his sights on you."
Dong Xin pouted.
"Just let him try to touch ."
"Alright, I’m leaving now."
Li Feng didn’t linger and left the tavern directly. Dong Xin watched him go, lying weakly on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
After Li Feng left the tavern and walked out onto the street, a chubby man burst out of a stretch limousine.
"Master Feng!"
Wang Qian spoke as he stepped forward to open the rear car door and Li Feng got in, followed by Wang Qian.
"I told you to look into Longevity Sect, any leads yet?"
Wang Qian looked up and said, "Master Feng, I’m quite familiar with Longevity Sect."
"Oh?"
Li Feng looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian took a bottle of wine from the cabinet, poured so, and handed it to Li Feng, "Master Feng, the grandmaster of Longevity Tao Sect, Lin Changsheng, is said to be a disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, with the Taoist na of ’Longevity Taoist’, and he is the junior brother of the seventy-first generation daoist master of Dragon Tiger Mountain."
"This fact hasn’t been denied by the people of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Lin Changsheng does have so Taoist skills, skilled in physiognomy, life analysis, and Feng Shui, and not only that, he’s also good at health cultivation and seems to know so dical techniques."
"Those who have had their fortunes told and analyzed by him prospered if they were officials and if businessn, beca extrely wealthy, which led more and more people to seek him out. Through this ans, he also got to know more and more dignitaries, becoming a darling of the upper echelons."
"Moreover, this man is very good at pretending and understands how to use montum to build montum. Over thirty years, he has created quite a climate for himself."
"In our Southeast Five Provinces, there has been a saying these recent years about one sect and one alliance; the sect is Longevity Sect and the alliance refers to the Martial Alliance."
"In Longevity Sect, Lin Changsheng considers himself a Grandmaster, and his son and several top disciples consider themselves to have received the true teachings of Lin Changsheng, so they are known as Young Masters. Nowadays, Lin Changsheng rarely takes action himself, it’s his son and those disciples who act on his behalf."
"Moreover, Longevity Sect operates like a sect managing thod. Aside from the disciples Lin Changsheng himself has accepted, it’s then passed on from generation to generation. Counting them down, the disciples of Longevity Sect have already reached the eighteenth generation."
Li Feng originally had his eyes closed to rest but opened them at the ntion of the eighteenth generation.
"He established this Longevity Sect not long ago, and it’s already reached the eighteenth generation?"
Wang Qian looked at Li Feng and chuckled with a simple smile, "Master Feng, you can’t view Longevity Sect as just another normal Buddhist or Taoist sect. Those sects have incredibly strict criteria for accepting disciples, but Longevity Sect is different."
"Longevity Sect takes in disciples like pyramid sches, completely structured like a pyramid. Once you join for a year and beco a disciple of Longevity Sect, you have the credentials to accept disciples."
"However, Longevity Sect does have its standards for accepting disciples, it’s not just anyone."
"Oh? Let’s hear it."
Wang Qian continued as if it was all a joke: "The disciples of Longevity Sect mainly look at three things: first, how big your background is; second, how much money you have; and third, whether you’re good-looking or not."
"That being said, within Longevity Sect, the hierarchy of disciples is actually like a small social hierarchy. Your background and status determine the status of the person who accepts you into Longevity Sect, and your position within Longevity Sect directly determines your power."
"As the number of disciples grows, officials and businessn gather together, naturally forming a network of relationships, where everyone takes what they need. Since there’s a layer of senior and junior brotherhood, it naturally facilitates the formation of connections."
Listening to Wang Qian, Li Feng instantly understood Longevity Sect’s way of survival. Tsk, Lin Changsheng was truly clever to the extre, using his so-called master status but actually building a platform.
With such a platform, naturally there would be benefits, and these benefits naturally attracted more people. Over ti, it resulted in a herd effect.
The more people, the larger the network of relationships, the greater the relationships, and the more it could attract others to join, and through collective efforts, so Lin Changsheng beca a master even if he wasn’t one before. In these five provinces and one city, people had to be courteous in front of this network relationship.
Considering the vast network of relationships, no wonder Lin Wanzhou was so audacious to demand Century Group.
The backing behind this vast interest group stood.
Wang Qian looking at Li Feng’s expression, asked carefully, "Master Feng, your sudden request for information about Longevity Tao Sect, could it be that Longevity Tao Sect has crossed you?"
Li Feng looked at the probing Wang Qian.
"Uh, you know Lin Wanzhou, right?"
"Yes, Lin Changsheng’s son, the Great Young Master of Longevity Tao Sect, who holds a high position in Longevity Tao Sect and is also Lin Changsheng’s chosen successor."
"He’s asking for Century Group."
"F*ck."
Wang Qian burst out swearing, "Lin Wanzhou has lost his mind, daring to provoke you, Master Feng. Should I take so n and go give him a warning?"
