“What did you say?”
Hua Jieyu’s expression turned cold. She had not understood Li Feng’s earlier remark about gun skills. But this time, she clearly understood what he meant.
In that instant, a chilling killing intent surged from Hua Jieyu’s body.
“I’m telling the truth. If you’re unwilling, then forget it.”
Li Feng said calmly, as if the whole matter was something trivial.
“You…”
Hua Jieyu glared fiercely at Li Feng, snorted coldly, and said, “Take care of yourself. Don’t die.”
With that, Hua Jieyu ignored Li Feng and turned to leave.
“What a strong-willed woman.”
Watching Hua Jieyu’s departing figure, a sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Although he did not know what scheme Hua Jieyu was plotting, he maintained full vigilance towards her.
When he said those words earlier, there was indeed an element of teasing Hua Jieyu. But more importantly, he wanted to make her leave.
It seemed his plan had succeeded.
However, he still kept in mind what Hua Jieyu said about the three heavenly kings. He glanced at Lu Shuang beside him, smiled, and said, “Lu Shuang, not bad. You actually comprehended momentum.”
“This is all thanks to Young Master Feng.”
Lu Shuang quickly replied.
“Enough. Your comprehension of momentum has nothing to do with me. If you lacked the talent and aptitude, you would never have comprehended it.”
Li Feng said. At the same time, he made up his mind to focus on cultivating Lu Shuang in the future. With momentum under his belt, Lu Shuang was destined to become an unparalleled expert.
“Let’s go. We’ll check out other places.”
Li Feng said.
“Young Master Feng, about those three heavenly kings that Hua Jieyu mentioned earlier?”
Lu Shuang said hesitantly.
“If they dare to make a move against me, they had better prepare to die.”
Li Feng sneered. Although he was wary of the three heavenly kings, that did not mean he lacked the strength to deal with them.
A glint flashed in Lu Shuang’s eyes. He said nothing more and silently followed behind Li Feng.
The surrounding rogue cultivators watched as Li Feng and Lu Shuang passed by. One by one, they retreated far away. Especially when looking at Lu Shuang, many showed clear fear. Lu Shuang had killed Pursuing Life Heavenly King. In their hearts, this man was even more terrifying than Xiang Kanghai.
At the same time, quite a few people wore expressions of schadenfreude. The four heavenly kings shared honour and disgrace. With Pursuing Life Heavenly King dead, the other three would certainly not let the matter rest. So in their eyes, even though Lu Shuang was an innate expert, he was already a dead man.
Li Feng paid no attention to the crowd’s expressions. He had come to Golden Buddha Temple to assess the situation among these rogue cultivators and then decide how to handle the transaction that evening.
After walking around, Li Feng had gained a general understanding of these rogue cultivators and was about to leave. At that moment, Lu Shuang behind him spoke up.
“Young Master Feng.”
“What is it?”
Li Feng asked.
“Young Master Feng, I saw two friends.”
Lu Shuang thought for a moment and said, “They fit Young Master Feng’s requirements.”
“Is that so? Then let’s go take a look.”
Li Feng showed interest.
“Young Master Feng, follow me.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang led Li Feng to a bamboo grove at the back of Golden Buddha Temple.
“Yuan Yue, Yan Dong.”
Lu Shuang called out to two middle-aged men meditating in the bamboo grove.
“Lu Shuang?”
The two middle-aged men looked at Lu Shuang. Surprise appeared in their eyes. “Lu Shuang, it really is you. We had agreed to meet in Tianhai City. Where have you been all this time? We searched everywhere and couldn’t find you.”
“Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, let me introduce someone to you.”
Lu Shuang pointed at Li Feng and said, “This is Young Master Feng. During this period, I have been working under Young Master Feng. Young Master Feng, this is Yuan Yue, and this is Yan Dong.”
“Young Master Feng? Working under him?”
Yuan Yue’s expression darkened. He looked at Lu Shuang and asked, “Lu Shuang, what’s going on? How did you end up becoming someone else’s subordinate?”
“That’s right, Lu Shuang. Do you have some hidden difficulties?”
Yan Dong glanced at Li Feng. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. “Did he force you?”
“No, no, no. Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, I am willingly following Young Master Feng.”
Lu Shuang quickly explained. At first, he had indeed been forced by Li Feng. If not for Li Feng using Divine Control Technique to control him, he would never have followed Li Feng. But now, even without the technique, as long as Li Feng did not drive him away, he would never leave even if it meant death.
“Lu Shuang, are you sure you’re not mistaken? Have you forgotten what you said before?”
Yuan Yue looked at Lu Shuang in disbelief. He knew Lu Shuang hated becoming anyone’s subordinate the most. Yet now, how had he willingly become Li Feng’s subordinate?
“The past is the past. Now is now.”
Lu Shuang replied.
“Lu Shuang, you’ve changed.”
Yan Dong shook his head. He felt he no longer recognised Lu Shuang. In the past, Lu Shuang would never have said such words.
“Times change, and I have to change with them.”
Lu Shuang knew he could not explain his situation clearly to Yuan Yue and the others, so he did not say more. He simply asked, “You two came to Golden Buddha Temple for a spot in the Boxing King Tournament, right?”
“That’s right. We want to participate in the Boxing King Tournament. We heard that tonight someone at Golden Buddha Temple is selling spots, so we came to try our luck.”
Yan Dong nodded. Everyone who came to Golden Buddha Temple knew about this, so he did not hide his purpose.
“Lu Shuang, you and this Young Master Feng are also here for that?”
Yan Dong glanced at Li Feng and continued asking.
However, in Yan Dong’s eyes, Li Feng was merely a spoiled young master. From start to finish, he had not given Li Feng a proper look.
“That’s correct.”
Lu Shuang nodded. Looking at Yuan Yue and Yan Dong, he said, “But getting a spot in the Boxing King Tournament requires quite a price. Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, do you have any rare treasures to trade for a spot?”
“This…”
Yuan Yue hesitated. If only Lu Shuang were here, they would have spoken without hesitation. But with Li Feng present, things were different. It was obvious Lu Shuang was Li Feng’s subordinate. If Li Feng fancied their items and had Lu Shuang take them by force, it would put Lu Shuang in a difficult position and make things hard for them too.
“Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, do you trust me?”
Lu Shuang saw their concern and spoke in a deep voice.
“Well, Lu Shuang…”
Yan Dong hesitated.
Lu Shuang felt helpless inside. He knew his becoming Li Feng’s subordinate had made them extremely wary. After thinking for a moment, Lu Shuang said, “Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, if you trust me, then take out everything you have and let me see.”
“This…”
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong exchanged a glance, somewhat at a loss. Lu Shuang was their good friend. The three of them had known each other for decades. Now that Lu Shuang had said this, if they refused to show their items, wouldn’t it ruin their friendship?
But…
They glanced at Li Feng and hesitated again.
“Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, right? Take out your items. If I like what I see, I won’t mind giving each of you a spot.”
At this moment, Li Feng spoke up.
“What do you mean?”
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong were stunned. They looked at Li Feng in confusion, then at Lu Shuang.
“Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, Young Master Feng is the one organising the sale of spots for the Boxing King Tournament this time.”
Lu Shuang quickly explained.
“Him?”
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong looked at Li Feng with disdain. A rich second-generation playboy, a spoiled young master—how could he possibly be the organiser selling spots tonight?
Boom!
At that moment, an innate realm aura erupted from Li Feng’s body and pressed towards Yuan Yue and Yan Dong.
Instantly, the faces of Yuan Yue and Yan Dong changed drastically. They stared at Li Feng in disbelief.
The aura of the innate realm. Did that not mean the person before them was an innate expert?
How was this possible? How could he be an innate expert? This Young Master Feng was so young—how could he possibly be an innate expert?
Li Feng’s aura appeared and vanished in an instant. Looking at the two men drenched in cold sweat under his pressure, their faces full of shock, Li Feng smiled and said, “Now do you believe me?”
“This, this…”
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong were so shocked they could not speak. Innate realm! Although they were acquired ninth layer, there was still a gap to the innate realm. Encountering an innate expert was not strange, but what was strange was that Li Feng was so young.
“Yuan Yue, Yan Dong, the reason I brought Young Master Feng to find you this time is because I knew you wanted to participate in the Boxing King Tournament. As long as your items satisfy Young Master Feng, you can get a spot without waiting until tonight or competing with so many others.”
Lu Shuang said solemnly from the side.
“Really?”
Hearing Lu Shuang’s words, joy appeared on Yuan Yue and Yan Dong’s faces.
“Of course. It now depends on whether you have something that satisfies me. If not for Lu Shuang’s sake, I would not have bothered coming to find you.”
Li Feng said.
Yuan Yue and Yan Dong exchanged a glance and nodded to each other. Yuan Yue took out a jade box from his bosom. “Young Master Feng, please take a look. This is a spiritual herb I obtained from Changbai Mountain.”
“Spiritual herb?”
A glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. He opened the jade box, took a look, nodded in satisfaction, and said, “Acceptable. With this spiritual herb alone, I can give you a spot.”
“Thank you, Young Master Feng. Thank you, Young Master Feng.”
Yuan Yue was overjoyed. Trading one spiritual herb for a chance to enter Dark Prison Island was truly worth it.
“Young Master Feng, these are my items.”
Yan Dong took out a piece of jade, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “This is something I just obtained from an ancient tomb. I don’t know if it can be exchanged for a spot?”
“This jade?”
Li Feng took the jade from Yan Dong’s hand and began to examine it.
“Young Master Feng, is it acceptable?”
Yan Dong looked at Li Feng nervously. Compared to Yuan Yue’s spiritual herb, his piece of jade was nothing special. If this jade could not get him a spot, then he would have no other options.
But how could Yan Dong know that at this moment, Li Feng, holding this piece of jade, was filled with shock and astonishment inside?
