Chapter 1341 - 1345: Black Silkworm Silk

Hearing Su Zhenxian’s question, Lin Feng didn’t directly answer. Instead, he pointed at the two assassins with Western faces and said to Su Zhenxian, "I’m afraid I can’t give you a definite answer to Old Su’s question, but as far as I know, these two people are from the Xuanyuan Pavilion in the Imperial City, so they should have been sent by the Zheng family!"

"As expected, it’s the Zheng family again!" Su Zhenxian’s eyes flashed with sharpness, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that the one from the Zheng family can’t wait for me to retire naturally!"

Lin Feng said nothing. Involving the level of power struggles like Su Zhenxian’s was beyond what an ordinary person like him could influence. At most, he could ensure Su Zhenxian’s safety for a short time; the other matters, he preferred to remain unaware of.

Su Zhenxian also understood that the conflict between him and the Zheng family was not convenient to discuss in front of Lin Feng and Lu Lu. Suppressing the sullen anger in his stomach, he changed the subject and casually asked, "How are the three people with Lu Qiang now? Are they hurt?"

Lu Lu shook her head and said blandly, "I don’t know if Lu Qiang was afraid of alarming us and didn’t dare to become aggressive, or if he spared them out of the camaraderie, but in any case, the three of them were just knocked out by Lu Qiang’s trick and are not in any serious trouble!"

Su Zhenxian nodded, "That’s good. It’s already quite late. Lin Feng, accompany Miss Lu to the next room to rest for a while. I’ll call you when I need you!"

Lin Feng saw Su Zhenxian leave Cao Tiannan behind and knew he had things to discuss with Cao Tiannan. Realizing that potential dangers were mostly clear, and Cao Tiannan, being a familiar and trustworthy person, Lin Feng didn’t think much and took Lu Lu to the next room.

...

As soon as Lin Feng and Lu Lu walked into the room, Lu Lu started to complain:

"Lin Feng, you have no idea how impulsive that old man was just now. When Lu Qiang barged in to attack, I clearly instructed him to hide, but to extract words from Lu Qiang, he actually stepped forward to confront Lu Qiang directly... I was so angry at the time that I almost couldn’t resist punching him. Isn’t he just causing trouble for me! If you hadn’t told me that the old man is Su Zi’s father, I might have really ignored him, daring to make such trouble for me!"

Lu Lu pouted her small lips and began her grumbling mode, speaking quite angrily.

"Facing danger, Old Su actually stepped forward to get words out of Lu Qiang..." Lin Feng was a bit surprised, and then with a wry smile, he said, "It seems he really isn’t a coward, certainly fitting as a chancellor!"

"Pfft, Lin Feng, I misjudged you. You actually speak for him! Let me tell you, if I weren’t there watching, he would’ve heroically sacrificed himself ages ago. If he got killed, I wonder how you’d still commend his bravery!" Lu Lu was so furious she started scolding Lin Feng as well.

"Hehe..." Lin Feng made a face at Lu Lu and said smugly, "Sister Lu, don’t be angry. With great power comes great responsibility. Just take it as a test for you!"

Lu Lu looked at Lin Feng with some surprise, suspiciously saying, "Oh my, Younger Brother Lin Feng, this is the first time you’ve proactively called me Sister. Have you turned over a new leaf? I thought I was always seen as a spoiled, unreasonable little girl in your eyes!"

"Cough, cough... How could that be! I’ve always had great respect for Sister Lu!" Lin Feng lightly coughed twice, waving his hand seriously, then took out a black piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to Lu Lu, "By the way, Sister Lu, can you help me see what material this fabric is?"

This black fabric was something Lin Feng painstakingly cut from the mystical bat-cloak on Kun Peng... He originally wanted to strip the cloak off Kun Peng entirely, but the garment was stained with blood, looking somewhat disgusting. He planned to first ask Lu Lu about the material before deciding how to handle the bat-cloak.

Lu Lu initially wanted to mock based on the first half of Lin Feng’s sentence, but upon seeing the black fabric in Lin Feng’s hand, her gaze was involuntarily attracted to it. She looked at the fabric in shock and instinctively asked, "Where did you get such a large piece of black silk fabric! This is a good thing!"

"Black silk fabric?" Lin Feng frowned. He really hadn’t heard of such fabric, and holding it in his hand, it didn’t feel like silk at all, more like a thick web woven from steel threads, hard and with a cool metallic texture.

"That’s the common name! It’s actually a precious fabric woven from threads produced by a very mystical insect in the cultivation world. This fabric is naturally very tough and can absorb nature’s spiritual energy, used as material for creating artifacts or treasure clothes in the cultivation realm!" Lu Lu glanced at the fabric piece in Lin Feng’s hand and said plainly, "Just that piece of fabric in your hand is probably worth over a hundred thousand!"

"That expensive!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment; the strip in his hand was just about ten centimeters by twenty centimeters.

"Expensive? Not at all!" Lu Lu shook her head, "That’s because your piece of fabric is incomplete. If you had enough of it to make a garment at the artifact level, its value would be at least over a billion! After all, it’s relatively easy to acquire weapon-level artifacts; protective-type artifacts are extremely rare!"

"I see!" Lin Feng nodded, understanding Lu Lu’s point, ready to call Zhou Yang later to remind him to strip that valuable bat-cloak off Kun Peng before handling the body!

"By the way, where did you get this fabric? This isn’t something ordinary people can own. Did you encounter a formidable enemy?" Lu Lu furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Lin Feng, and asked somewhat curiously.

"Consider it a formidable enemy, I suppose. His name was Kun Peng, from the Xuanyuan Pavilion in the Imperial City, an Innate expert!" Lin Feng spoke lightly, wanting to see if Lu Lu knew Kun Peng.

"So he was from Xuanyuan Pavilion, no wonder he was so lavish!" Lu Lu showed a look of understanding.

"Is Xuanyuan Pavilion very famous in the cultivation world?" Lin Feng, seeing Lu Lu’s expression, felt a bit doubtful. He thought Xuanyuan Pavilion was just an ordinary organization, yet Lu Lu had also heard of it?

"Xuanyuan Pavilion is an oddity; it doesn’t hold a particularly high status in the cultivation world. However, this sect is notably rich, known as generous benefactors, enthusiastically collecting all sorts of treasures. There are a few elders who are frequent patrons of my grandfather..." Lu Lu spoke indifferently.

"So does that mean the Tianji Sect and Xuanyuan Pavilion have some connection?" Lin Feng slightly frowned.

"You don’t have to worry about that. My grandfather doesn’t show favoritism to every guest. For guests like those from Xuanyuan Pavilion, at most he just sells them some pills or cultivation techniques at a high price, there’s no regular contact!"
