Chapter 53: I’ll Give You A Few Pointers

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Feng Lingyue was bewildered.

“I’m very curious about what happened to you during the past two years.”

She was a well-known genius in Panlong City and was recruited by Sky Mist Institution when she was ten due to her exceptional talent.

At fifteen years old, Feng Lingyue’s strength was already close to Heroic Boundary’s peak and was one of the hot picks for being the new Four Rising Stars at Rising Star Meeting.

She was best at Light Body martial art. Previously when she saw Luo Feng perform his Light Body martial art at Panlong Town, she thought that their Light Body cultivation bases were similar, but it turned out that she was very wrong.

Luo Feng’s speed was way higher than hers, and Void Step was completely out of her league.

He smiled and asked her instead, “What’s your answer to that?”

Feng Lingyue pondered, then shook her head. “I’m very shocked by your Light Body martial art, but if that’s the only thing you have, it’s impossible for you to defeat Li Tianyao. His strength is similar to mine, and he has cultivated Sky Net Sword Technique, a Yellow Rank Upper Class martial art, to Success State. He’s unpredictable.”

“Li Tianyao? He’s quite tricky indeed, but he’s not a match for me.” Luo Feng folded his arm on the table.

‘Hmm?’

Feng Lingyue quivered a little when she saw how confident Luo Feng was.

“He simply disregarded Li Tianyao… Could he have concealed his cultivation base?”

A thought crossed her mind, but she decided not to question him. She asked gently, “In terms of percentage, how confident are you?”

“A hundred percent!” Luo Feng answered without any hesitation.

Feng Lingyue seemed to have expected his answer, then stood up with a smile. “I can persuade Father to cooperate with Luo Family, but this is a serious matter, so I can’t guarantee that I’ll succeed for sure.”

“Thank you,” Luo Feng was startled, but he quickly stood up to thank her.

He initially planned to be honest with Feng Lingyue about the fact that he concealed his cultivation base, but she believed him without questioning him.

“This matter shouldn’t be delayed, I’ll go look for my father now.”

Feng Lingyue left after that. When she returned to Moon Courtyard about seven minutes later, she happily brought a piece of silk with her.

“This is the cooperation agreement between Feng Family and Luo Family, it’ll be effective once your father signs on it.”

She handed the piece of silk to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was elated when he saw the piece of silk.

He thought that it was good enough to get a reply from Feng Yutang, but he did not expect Feng Lingyue to be so efficient.

“What are you looking at? Look at the time now, Luo Family’s family meeting is starting soon, you should return now.” Feng Lingyue chuckled.

Luo Feng quickly kept the piece of silk when he looked up and realized that it was almost noon.

“Little Yue, thank you, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Are you only going to visit me again in five years?” Feng Lingyue suddenly popped a question.

Luo Feng froze for a while.

The day he was evaluated to have terrible talent was the day Feng Lingyue was recruited by Sky Mist Institution, the leading institution among the four great institutions. After being ridiculed for wanting someone he was not worthy of, he stopped visit Feng Family.

“Your talent has nothing to do with us, and I don’t care about it at all. I’ve always treated you as my best friend,” Feng Lingyue commented softly without looking him in the eye.

Luo Feng was touched when he noticed her teary eyes. He smiled. “Of course I won’t. Once this matter is settled, I’ll come to find you. Alright, stop crying, you look like a dirty kitten.”

Feng Lingyue blushed. She quickly pushed Luo Feng outside Moon Courtyard.

“You should go now, it’s not my problem if you miss the meeting.”

Luo Feng left Moon Courtyard happily.

However, he frowned when he noticed Li Family’s carriage still outside Feng Residence’s gate.

“Didn’t Little Yue reject him earlier? Why is that fella still here?”

Luo Feng knew that Feng Lingyue hated Li Tianyang since she was young, so it was impossible for her to agree to the marriage.

He shook his head and was ready to leave.

“Young Master Luo Feng, wait.”

A petite person who suddenly appeared pulled Luo Feng to the side.

“Ling Que, is something wrong?”

Luo Feng recognized that she was Feng Lingyue’s personal maid.

Ling Que puffed her cheeks out as she looked at Luo Feng angrily. “Hmph, is something wrong? Do you know that Lady made a huge sacrifice just to help you! I don’t care! If you don’t finish first in the upcoming Hunting Meet, I… I’ll fight you!”

Subsequently, she wielded her fist at him.

Obviously, Luo Feng was able to grab her fist easily.

He asked, “Ling Que, what exactly are you talking about?”

“Why are you being so fierce… Look at the agreement yourself, Lady agreed to Patriarch’s conditions just to help you. If Luo Family doesn’t become the number one family, Lady must marry Li Tianyang the b*stard!” Ling Que choked with sobs.

Stunned, Luo Feng quickly retrieved the piece of silk.

He only looked at the agreement briefly since he was too excited earlier, so he just realized that there was a sentence written on the bottom right corner of it. [If Luo Family fails to become the number one family, the agreement becomes invalid. Feng Lingyue and Li Tianyang will be married the following day!]

“Son of a b*tch!”

Luo Feng was furious. He quickly asked Ling Que, “Who raised this condition?”

Ling Que pouted her lips. “Who else? Of course, it was Li Tianyang the b*stard. I wonder what magic potion he used to bewitch Patriarch that he actually agreed to it.”

“As expected!”

Luo Feng scoffed, then said to Ling Que, “Ling Que, you should go back in. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely defeat Li Family at the Hunting Meet in ten days!”

Ling Que was struck dumb by his reaction. She nodded and reminded him to finish first no matter what before she left.

“Little Yue, I owe you. Don’t worry, I won’t let you get married to Li Tianyang!”

Luo Feng clenched his fists and took a deep breath, then rushed back to Luo Residence.

He noticed a long row of carriages outside Luo Residence’s gate from far.

“Has it started…”

Luo Feng mumbled to himself as he knew that the carriages belonged to his collateral relatives.

“Young Master, you’re finally back! Zheng Hongzhi and the others are arguing with Patriarch! First Young Master is in isolated cultivation, Master asked that you meet them at the main hall once you return.”

Zi Ling who had been waiting at the front gate hurried over to Luo Feng.

“You finally let the cat out of the bag…”

Luo Feng nodded, then strode toward the main hall. “I’d like to see what trouble you’re going to cause when you’re just a bunch of insignificant people.”

Twenty to thirty people were seated in the main hall along with a number of young disciples who stood beside. They were all Luo Feng’s collateral relatives.

Owing to the spacious area, the main hall was not too packed even when it was occupied by nearly a hundred people.

The atmosphere at that moment was so oppressive that some felt that there was a huge rock on their chest.

Luo Feng walked over to Luo Tian once he entered the main hall, but nobody noticed him since there were many people present.

After taking a look around, he fixed his gaze on a long-faced middle-aged man on the left who wore a gold brocade robe.

That person was Zheng Hongzhi!

“Zheng Hongzhi, I’ve already increased the branch’s interest by thirty percent, yet you’re asking to have it increased by another fifty percent? Do you want our family to make a doomed proposition? Do you not care if our family lives or dies?”

Luo Tian who sat on the highest seat in the main hall cast a cold look at Zheng Hongzhi. He carried such a threatening aura that the main hall was filled with a cold atmosphere.

While Luo Tian’s cultivation base was inferior to Mayor Han Yulong’s, he was also a top-notch master in Panlong City as he was in Hell Boundary’s middle phase!

A dignified expression could be seen on Zheng Hongzhi’s face, but it quickly disappeared. He commented, “Luo Tian, I’m sure you’re aware that after Mayor Han Yulong died, most people voiced that Li Family would become the next number one family. On the other hand, we’re being pushed out. It’s very difficult for us, so increasing our profit by fifty percent is our baseline.”

“Exactly, our branch is having a tough time operating due to the current circumstances.”

“Hmph, this is all because of Patriarch’s disappointing sons who aren’t better than Li Family’s sons. Especially Luo Feng that trash, he’s still stuck at Energy Boundary after three years in Purple Sun Institution, he’s an embarrassment…” A youth standing behind Zheng Hongzhi sneered.

Most people from Luo Family were still clueless about Luo Feng’s cultivation base since he had just returned home.

Besides, his collateral relatives were uninformed because they lived in other cities or towns, hence they took the opportunity to make a fuss about it.

Pa!

A deafening slam shook the main hall.

“Who mentioned the word ‘trash’? Get the f*ck out here if you have the guts to!”

Luo Feng stood out front, then stared at the long-faced teen standing behind Zheng Hongzhi.

His strong spiritual power gave him a sharp sense that he could listen to every whisper in the hall, thus he identified at once that the long-faced teen was the one who called him trash. The teen was Zheng Hongzhi’s son, Zheng Yuan!”

At the age of eighteen, the long-faced teen had the cultivation base of Iron Bone Boundary’s later phase, which was why he had a sturdy physique.

Zheng Yuan immediately stood out and looked at Luo Feng scornfully.

“I was the one who said that. What are you going to do about it? I heard that you’re still at Energy Boundary even after three years in Purple Sun Institution, aren’t you trash?”

“You heard? Are you a dog? Do you believe everything people say?” Luo Feng curled his lips.

“Hey, Luo Feng’s strength is already at Iron Bone Boundary’s middle phase!”

“I heard about it yesterday, but I didn’t think that it was true.”

“Having a cultivation base of Iron Bone Boundary’s middle phase at the age of fifteen is quite rare, Zheng Yuan who’s eighteen years old is only at Iron Bone Boundary’s later phase.”

“Zheng Yuan shot himself in the foot, I wonder how he’s going to clean this mess.”

Without paying attention to the details, one could not have noticed Luo Feng’s cultivation base because Soaring Dragon Steps could conceal his energy.

It was at that moment when the crowd realized that the rumor about Luo Feng’s cultivation base being at Energy Boundary was false. He was in Iron Bone Boundary’s middle phase!

Zheng Yuan’s face turned pale when he heard the discussion around him.

He did not expect Luo Feng’s strength to be so close to his.

“Hehe, Yuan’er, Luo Feng must have some special abilities to have improved so quickly. Why not you exchange a few blows with him?”

Zheng Hongzhi suggested calmly while staring at Luo Feng.

Zheng Yuan instantly smiled hideously. He mentioned, “Since you’re so confident Luo Feng, would you dare accept my challenge?”

‘You’re despicable!’

Luo Feng cursed to himself.

Zheng Yuan who was three years older and seemed to have a higher cultivation base than him challenged Luo Feng! He was being too shameless!

“Feng’er, don’t force it.” Luo Tian tried to stop Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng, a small battle between the juniors can help them increase their real combat experience, isn’t that great? It’s best you stay out of it,” Zheng Hongzhi remarked.

“Father, I know my limits.”

Luo Feng assured Luo Tian with a nod, then walked to the center of the main hall. “Zheng Yuan, didn’t you ask me to give you a few pointers? Get the f*ck out here, I’ll give you a few pointers since I’m in a good mood today!”
