They finally arrived at the gate of Jinjiang. When the guards saw Lu Zhan's car, they immediately opened the gate. Qing Yue and the others came down from the building. The three people got out of the car.
"Lin Feng, my daughter is in this residential district?" asked Qi Xiao Hua.
"Yes, for the time being. Fifteenth floor, "Lin Feng replied, taking the three people inside the building. They took the elevator to the fifteenth floor.
As soon as they came out of the elevator, the door of the 1502nd apartment opened. Zhang De Sheng looked and seemed pleasantly surprised. "You're safe and sound! I just watched the news and heard about the murder case. I was worried to death!"
When the three of them entered, Nian Ling Jiao was watching TV with Qing Yue and Qing Yi. When Qing Yue saw Lin Feng, she immediately threw the controller away and asked, "Lin Feng, how come you're back from Linhai so early?"
"Hey, has anything happened in the last two days?" asked Lin Feng.
"Nothing. My teacher came over and told me…" Qing Yue looked at Lu Zhan and Qi Xiao Hua. It was a secret. Lin Feng understood and took Qing Yue to another room.
Inside, Qing Yue whispered, "Lin Feng, my teacher said there were over twenty sects and clans who are on your side. You just have to say something and they'll obey your orders."
Lin Feng sighed with relief. He had thought something horrible had happened, considering Qing Yue's mysterious expression.
They left the room again and went back to the other room. Qi Xiao Hua was talking to Nian Ling Jiao. When Qi Xiao Hua saw Lin Feng, she said to him, "Lin Feng, what is going to happen to our family now?"
Nian Ling Jiao seemed like she had slightly recovered, but when she looked at Lin Feng, she looked cold, detached, and suspicious, as if she didn't trust him at all.
Lin Feng didn't understand what was going on. "You three can stay here, but in two days, I may have other things to do. Don't worry, Qing Yue and Qing Yi can protect you." Lin Feng said.
Qing Yue could easily take care of ordinary people.
Zhang De Sheng said, "Lin Feng, I hope you can help us make our business rise again in Linhai."
Qi Xiao Hua also said, "Lin Feng, we're like stray curs now… All we can do is set our hopes on you. Don't worry. As long as you help our business rise again, we'll… give Ling Jiao to you…"
Lin Feng was dumbstruck when he heard Qi Xiao Hua. Not only wasn't it a pleasant surprise, but on the contrary, he felt disgusted!
What the hell? Did she consider her own daughter a good she could trade when she needed to? Was a daughter a thing she could use to become richer?
Nian Ling Jiao pushed Qi Xiao Hua violently and shouted extremely loudly, "I don't want to! I don't want you to find a husband for me!"
Nian Ling Jiao was kind of humiliating Lin Feng, so he looked embarrassed. Nian Ling Jiao looked down on him, which meant she was becoming normal again… normal as in the only child of a wealthy family.
Lin Feng didn't know whether he should feel happy or sad. He had taken so many risks for Nian Ling Jiao, he didn't feel like giving up now…!
"Ling Jiao, don't talk nonsense! You want your parents to become poor tramps or what?" Qi Xiao Hua retorted aggressively and strictly.
Zhang De Sheng added, "Ling Jiao, you're an adult now. You have to cut the attitude. You have to be responsible and care for your parents…"
Nian Ling Jiao burst into tears, but when she looked at Lin Feng, she looked ice-cold. She shouted, "You bastard! You resorted to trickery to make my family collapse! I will never like you! Even if you fuck me, you'll have my body but not my heart!"
She sounded extremely dramatic, like in the movies. If it were a movie, people would cry now.
The atmosphere became even more awkward. Lin Feng shook his head, "Hey, I didn't put any pressure on you, and I've never said I was interested in you. I am just a friend."
"Hehe! You and I are friends? You saved me, but who knows if it's not part of your evil plan? Creating a threat, saving a beautiful woman, and making her fall in love… You're a liar. I don't trust you. I think you're trying to get close to my family to harm me!" said Nian Ling Jiao.
"Ling Jiao! Watch your words!" shouted Zhang De Sheng.
Qi Xiao Hua said, "Lin Feng, don't listen to her. She's rude. I'm sorry."
Even though Lin Feng wasn't happy, he controlled himself. He could only wonder sadly how he could help her retrieve her memories. He was extremely worried. What if she had lost her memories forever? It was possible!
"Alright, I accept. I will do my best to help your business rise again. I don't have any requests in exchange. I am not interested in your daughter, and I don't want your money. You're relieved now, right?" Lin Feng finished, sighing helplessly.
Lin Feng really didn't care about money. The only thing he wanted at that moment in his life were the things he had lost when coming back to the Earth.
—
Lin Feng didn't know that right now, the atmosphere in Jiang Nan was calm and tranquil in appearance but actually, danger lurked in the darkness.
In a villa in the west of Jiang Nan, Leader Feng snuck into a library. He locked the door and pressed on a book on the book shelf. A passage appeared behind the shelf.
Only Feng Yin Quan knew about that secret room. There were secrets of the Feng Clan in that room. It was one of the reasons why the Feng Clan had thrived for so many years.
Feng Yin Quan came out and closed the book shelves again.
The lights of the torches flickered along the flight of stairs. Feng Yin Quan walked down the spiral flight of stairs quickly, until he was dozens of meters beneath the ground.
At the foot of the flight of stairs was a corridor, carved through the underground rock. It led to a mountain not far away from the villa. At the end of the corridor was a gigantic limestone cave!
When Feng Yin Quan entered the limestone cave, he started being more cautious. When he reached the gate, he said, "Ancestor, Little Feng Yin Quan would like to see you."
Feng Yin Quan heard a reply, "What do you want? Hurry up. Stop bothering me!"
"Ancestor, a cultivator appeared in Jiang Nan recently. His name is Lin Feng and he can condense spiritual armor and has the strength of the Great Vehicle Golden Celestial Cultivator layer. He severely injured a disciple of the Feng Clan, Feng Shi Jie. Feng Shi Jie is still unconscious. I'm worried for the future of the Feng Clan…" reported Feng Yin Quan.
"Oh? I'm surprised. A Great Vehicle Golden Celestial Cultivator in this world? Could it be that it's an old monster from a sect who's been meditating in seclusion for such a long time that he doesn't know what the world looks like anymore?" The old man in the cave suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ancestor, I spoke too fast. I forgot to tell you that he isn't an old man; he's about twenty years old. That's why we're afraid. He must be from a mysterious and extremely powerful sect or clan." Feng Yin Quan added hastily.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide. He was unable to keep calm. He stood up from the floor and opened the gate. White mist emerged from the room. Feng Yin Quan absorbed it greedily.
That cave was a rare treasure of Huaxia. When someone practiced cultivation there for ten years, it corresponded to a hundred ordinary human years!
Even though Feng Yin Quan was a famous leader in the Feng Clan, he wasn't very influential within the clan. He was only a Cultivation Spirit, and he couldn't break through to the next cultivation layer where all the strong people of the Feng Clan were.
The old man stretched his arms and lowered his head, looking at Feng Yin Quan solemnly. "What do you mean?"
"Ancestor, what I mean is that we need to get rid of this person. He's an enemy of the Feng Clan. If we don't get rid of him, he'll cause trouble to us, and then we'll collapse! The consequences would be tragic!"
The old man nodded but asked, "Didn't you say that he may be backed up by an even stronger and more influential group? Have you checked that? We can't act rashly and alert the enemy."
"Eh… I don't have that many servants to send around and investigate. The strangest thing is that he seems so ordinary. It seems impossible."
The old man frowned and whispered, "He says he learned cultivation alone and broke through to the Great Vehicle Golden Celestial Cultivator layer without any help. He's so young, how could he have become so strong alone?" He turned his head and smiled disdainfully, "No matter what level he is, if he's an enemy of the Feng Clan, then we must be merciless. I'll send some people to go and get rid of him."
Feng Yin Quan nodded, "Then I'm relieved."
After that, the old man grunted icily, "You are really useless! You need me to solve such an easy problem. If your big brother were still here… The Feng Clan would already be… (sigh)…!"
