Chapter 1434: Private Meeting

Chapter 1434: Chapter 1437: Private Meeting

Zhu Xiuyue’s more than five million in private savings directly turned into tens of millions in assets… Zhu Xiuyue couldn’t contain her inner excitement. If there weren’t other people present, she would have rushed to Lin Feng, hugged his shoulders, and screamed out loud…

“Hehe… There aren’t flowers growing on my face, so why are you all looking at me like this?” Lin Feng glanced at everyone present, forcing a dry smile and said somewhat awkwardly.

“Good boy, you finally didn’t disappoint me…” Xu Yishan said triumphantly, “It wasn’t in vain that I valued you so much, you didn’t disgrace me after all…”

“Old Xu, you really don’t hide your favoritism at all!” Wang Bing from Hong Sect’s third leader looked at Lin Feng with some jealousy and said bitterly.

“Hehe… I admit that I’m biased towards Lin Feng, so what?” Xu Yishan looked at Wang Bing with a cold smile and said calmly, “Little girl, you didn’t give this old man any face just now, didn’t you say you wanted to challenge this old man…”

“I… I was just joking… Who doesn’t know that the top expert of Hong Sect is Old Master Xu…” Wang Bing looked at Xu Yishan with a slightly embarrassed expression, her face stiff.

“Humph… This old man isn’t senile yet!” Xu Yishan snorted lightly, a bit dissatisfied.

Listening to Xu Yishan and Wang Bing’s casual conversation, Lin Feng couldn’t help but be curious. What exactly is the relationship between these two? And what kind of sect is this Qiushui School?

After Wang Bing smiled awkwardly, she turned to look at Lin Feng and said defiantly, “Kid, although I lost to you today by accident, remember, I had already fought two experts before fighting you… You really took advantage! Although my skills fell short, it doesn’t mean you can surely beat me. It’s best to behave in front of me…”

“Oh? Interesting…” Xu Yishan squinted at Wang Bing with a smile, then turned to Lin Feng, half-smiling, “Lin Feng, the girl has already provoked you like this, what do you say? You can’t just let the prestige of our Hong Sect weaken…”

Xu Yishan’s words implied that Lin Feng was about to become the Sect Leader of the Hong Sect and could not be casually underestimated by Wang Bing, he should show some response…

“Just a mere defeated opponent… what’s there to talk about…” Lin Feng didn’t even look at Wang Bing, he smiled and said to Xu Yishan, “Whenever she wants to challenge me again, just let her!”

This was outright disregard!

“Lin Feng… How dare you look down on me…” Wang Bing’s face turned purple, almost exploding with anger… However, Lin Feng was right, she is indeed a defeated opponent, what use is there in talking big at this point?!

“Ah, Miss Wang, please don’t misunderstand… How could Lin Feng look down on you… Don’t overthink it!” Xu Yishan suddenly said with a smile to Wang Bing, explaining earnestly.

“He didn’t look down on me?” Wang Bing looked at Xu Yishan with some surprise and asked, “How so?”

“He simply ignored you…” Xu Yishan said with a mischievous smile, as if worried Wang Bing wasn’t angry enough…

“Humph! Old Xu, just you remember this!” Wang Bing’s face turned pale, she cursed Xu Yishan bitterly and then turned to walk out the main door, no longer having the face to stay there.

“Fighting with me, you’re still too young, little girl…” Xu Yishan smiled proudly, as if he had accomplished something of great significance, looking extremely smug.

“Old Xu, bullying the younger generation from Qiushui School like this might be inappropriate, after all, the Sect Leader of Qiushui School has been a close friend of yours for many years…” Bai Yuanshan said with a bitter smile, trying to persuade Xu Yishan as he watched Wang Bing leave.

“No worries, this little girl is straightforward. Although she is strong and proud, she won’t go back to the sect and spread tales like a petty person… Besides, her master specifically asked me to temper her arrogance during this earthly cultivation trip… It’s the purpose of her journey!” Xu Yishan waved his hand dismissively to Bai Yuanshan, explaining calmly.

“Got it!” Bai Yuanshan nodded.

“Little Bai… Now that Lin Feng is about to become the provisional Sect Leader, you should also tell him some internal information about our Hong Sect. I won’t disturb you guys, I’ll take my leave…” Xu Yishan suddenly patted Bai Yuanshan’s shoulder meaningfully and said calmly.

Bai Yuanshan nodded upon hearing that, turned to Lin Feng, and smiled a bit, “Lin Feng, come to my office later on…”

After saying that, Bai Yuanshan also left the basement with his subordinates, following Xu Yishan.

After Bai Yuanshan and Xu Yishan left, the remaining few leaders approached Lin Feng, clasped their hands, and congratulated him warmly…

Now those who still had the face to stay were naturally not enemies of Lin Feng, people like Ye Liangdao and Gong Sunyi, feeling guilty, had long slipped away…

Lin Feng exchanged pleasantries with the few leaders but was thinking about Bai Yuanshan’s invitation to his office, feeling a bit curious. Lin Feng knew Bai Yuanshan always wanted to spar with him and even settle grudges, but Lin Feng wasn’t clear about Bai Yuanshan’s true intentions…

Rumor had it that Bai Yuanshan was not on close terms with his uncle Bai Liancheng and his cousin Bai Youxian. Although they were relatives, they were not genuinely connected. Theoretically, even if Bai Liancheng and Bai Youxian were harmed by others, Bai Yuanshan might not necessarily avenge them… Moreover, those two intended to harm Lin Feng and ended up being killed by Lin Feng, Bai Yuanshan had no substantial reason to avenge them.

Once most of the people close to Lin Feng had dispersed, Zhou Yang and a few others walked over to Lin Feng.

“Brother Feng, are you really going to see Mr. Bai alone later? Do you need Zhou Yang to accompany you…” Zhu Xiuyue, who was now the most knowledgeable about Lin Feng’s affairs within Hong Sect, asked with some concern, evidently worried that Bai Yuanshan might pose a threat to Lin Feng.

Zhou Yang nodded; he was informed about the operation that killed Bai Liancheng and Bai Youxian. Hearing that Bai Yuanshan was so closely related to those two, Zhou Yang didn’t believe Bai Yuanshan would let it go.

“No need for that…” Lin Feng shook his head, “I trust Mr. Bai won’t do anything to me. Besides, even if he has such ideas, I have the strength to protect myself… He asked me to go alone; bringing Zhou Yang would be too conspicuous!”

What Lin Feng meant was that doing so would make Bai Yuanshan look down on him. After all, Bai Yuanshan had already suggested meeting Lin Feng alone; suddenly bringing along a brother suggested mistrust… among Hong Sect brothers, Lin Feng’s approach might be seen as discouraging.
