Gu Feng noticed that there were at least twenty Core Formation Stage cultivators from the Lin Family watching his every move.
He guessed these individuals were spies from other major families.
With a simple wave of his hand, Gu Feng set up a barrier around the place where Lin Qi was, making it impossible for those cultivators to see what he was doing or overhear any conversations inside the house.
Afterwards, Gu Feng appeared inside the room.
Lin Qi's first reaction upon seeing a stranger suddenly appear in his home was fright.
Gu Feng said, "Don't be afraid, I am your ancestor."
Lin Qi, of course, knew that there were people from other families supervising him and also knew that these people liked to fish, using him as bait in hopes of luring out the Gu Family's powers from the Upper Realm.
Therefore, upon hearing Gu Feng claim to be a member of his family, Lin Qi chose not to believe him.
His emotions quickly recovered, and he turned back to continue refining his pills.
