Chapter 1123 The Burden of Favors
“Little Bo!”
The young city lord’s body trembled slightly.
At this moment, when everyone else kept their distance, not daring to have any association with him, Poseidon stepped forward to plead on his behalf.
“Uncle Lin! Could you possibly…”
Poseidon bit his lip, standing in front of the young city lord. Just as he was about to say something more, Lin Feng coldly interrupted him:
“Kid, you don’t understand anything. This doesn’t concern you, get out of the way now!”
“I…”
Poseidon’s face turned pale, his lips trembling.
Coming from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he clearly knew Lin Feng’s personality well. The series of events that had transpired also gave him a great sense of reverence toward Lin Feng.
“I’ll say it one last time, move aside!”
Lin Feng’s face remained expressionless.
Poseidon stood frozen in place.
At this moment, Zuo Yuanshan, seeing the situation turning bad, also rushed forward and pleaded with Poseidon:
“Brother Bo, you must save the young city lord.”
Poseidon clenched his fists, his eyes reddening as he shouted:
“Uncle Lin! I cannot stand by and watch Pang Jing come to harm today.”
Just when everyone thought Poseidon was about to make a move, he suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud.
“Uncle Lin! My father told me to respect you…”
Seeing this scene,
Lin Feng’s cold eyes gradually calmed, and a trace of complexity appeared on his chiseled face.
For some reason,
He suddenly remembered his Sixth Senior Brother from the past.
How similar these two situations were.
People truly do change after countless experiences.
“You, come here…”
Lin Feng pointed at Zuo Yuanshan.
Zuo Yuanshan was very nervous but still tremblingly approached Lin Feng, head lowered, not daring to look up.
“What is your relationship with Little Bo?”
Lin Feng asked.
“Dao… Dao companions.”
Zuo Yuanshan said softly.
As expected.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly.
Even heroes fall for beauty. Poseidon had ultimately been corrupted by feminine charm.
“Live your life well.”
Lin Feng shook his head, glanced at the young city lord one more time, then turned and left.
At this point,
He would do the Sea God King this favor.
Poseidon watched Lin Feng’s desolate figure walking away, feeling indescribable emotions. Previously, he had disliked Lin Feng, but now he seemed to not mind the title of “Uncle Lin” anymore.
A shocking bloodbath thus came to an abrupt end.
The onlookers at the scene looked at the blood-covered city lord’s mansion with varied expressions, but regardless, Lin Feng’s name had been thoroughly imprinted in their minds.
Even years later, his deeds would still be discussed at dinner tables.
Once there was a stranger,
With just his fists, he swept through all opposition, nearly destroying the city lord’s mansion.
This deed was so sensational it would be recorded in books, never to be forgotten.
Night fell.
The city lord’s mansion was deathly quiet.
Since the incident during the day, the young city lord had been kneeling silently in front of the wooden cabin in the back courtyard, not making a sound, like a dead man.
And facing this scene,
The person inside the wooden cabin also maintained silence.
The father and son who once shared everything had fallen silent. Lin Feng’s actions had affected them too deeply.
“Young City Lord, the people from above have arrived. Aren’t you going to receive them?”
Zuo Yuanshan came over and said.
The so-called “above” referred to East Divine Mountain.
Though the Taixu Realm was vast and boundless, there were only four top powers, namely the East, West, South, and North Divine Mountains.
The four Divine Mountains were situated in the four directions, dividing the Taixu Realm into four regions, each with numerous cities. Tongzhou City was just a small frontier city under East Divine Mountain.
This time,
The purpose of the special envoy from East Divine Mountain was for the Tongzhou City Lord election!
Logically speaking,
When a special envoy arrives, the current city lord’s mansion must receive them properly to increase the chances of reappointment. But the young city lord, affected by the day’s events, felt a deadness in his heart.
“Young City Lord, failure is the mother of success. Who can go through life without setbacks?”
Zuo Yuanshan approached him from behind, embracing him and comforting him softly.
The young city lord pushed Zuo Yuanshan away.
“There is nothing between us anymore. Take good care of Little Bo in the future.”
“Young City Lord…”
Zuo Yuanshan was stunned.
She didn’t actually like Poseidon at all. She slept with Poseidon only because she loved the young city lord so much that she would do anything he asked, at any cost.
“You think I’m scared of Lin Feng?”
“No… I feel guilty for my misjudgment. Because of my decision, so many people died. I made the city lord’s mansion suffer such a great setback, becoming the laughingstock of the entire city.”
The young city lord laughed bitterly.
He looked back at the wooden cabin, and seeing no response from within, his eyes dimmed. Finally, he collected himself and walked toward the front hall.
“Let’s meet this special envoy.”
“I will emerge from seclusion in at most seven days.”
At this moment,
A weathered voice came from the wooden cabin.
The young city lord paused, then his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Nightfall.
Lin Feng wandered aimlessly on the streets.
Because of the incident at the Welcome Again Inn, no inn was willing to accommodate him now.
So for the time being, he had nowhere to go.
“The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are difficult, the Taixu Realm even more so, but neither is as difficult as the debt of human feelings.”
Lin Feng sighed softly,
Then found a secluded corner and sat down cross-legged.
Meanwhile, at the Ruan family home, lights blazed.
“This Lin Feng is too arrogant! Does he really think having some strength means he can do whatever he wants?”
“Damn it! I’m furious. You didn’t see how smug he looked, calling our Ruan family ‘worthless chickens and dogs’…”
The Grand Elder and others cursed angrily, clearly infuriated by Lin Feng.
Ruan Qing remained silent.
The Ruan family head said nothing.
Lin Feng’s attitude had surprised everyone. They had thought sending people over would gain Lin Feng’s friendship, but instead, they were humiliated by him.
“It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t proposed such a garbage idea, how would we have been humiliated? Now the whole of Tongzhou City must be laughing at our Ruan family.”
Someone pointed at Ruan Qing, cursing.
“I’ve met countless people, but I can’t figure out this Lin Feng. He seems to have no brain, yet he also seems very wise, as if everything is under his control.”
Ruan Qing tried to explain,
But this only provoked more curses. They said Ruan Qing couldn’t do anything right, and being a woman, she shouldn’t interfere in family affairs anymore.
Seeing this, Ruan family head Ruan Jingtian sighed inwardly.
He acknowledged Ruan Qing’s talent and wanted to give her a chance, but unfortunately, she hadn’t handled this matter well.
“What’s done is done, everyone stop arguing!”
Ruan Jingtian interrupted the cursing, then slowly said:
“Let’s set aside the matter of Lin Feng for now!”
“According to reliable information, the Divine Mountain’s envoy has already arrived in Tongzhou City and is now at the city lord’s mansion. We must come up with a strategy…”
