“Hua la la…”
Nearly ten Li Family guards pulled their swords out and glared at Luo Feng when they saw Li Tianyang jumping off the carriage.
“All of you, stand down. I’ll teach this uncivil fella a lesson today!”
The guards retreated to form a semicircle around Luo Feng and Li Tianyang.
Li Tianyang approached Luo Feng step by step instead of rushing an attack.
“Pi pa!”
He cracked his fingers as he sneered at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, you were lucky to have escaped from Dragon Arrival Inn previously, you won’t have the same luck today! Unless you kneel and beg forgiveness, I won’t spare you!”
“Kneel and beg forgiveness?”
Luo Feng’s eyes instantly burned with a raging fire, he smirked at Li Tianyang.
“Li Tianyang, since you insist on dying, I’ll fulfill your wish. I’d like to see which one of us will kneel to beg forgiveness in the end!”
He was confident about beating Li Tianyang up without exposing his true strength.
“Is he really Luo Family’s second young master, Luo Feng? He actually challenged Li Tianyang…”
“Judging from his strength, he should be in Iron Bone Boundary’s middle phase now, he grew a lot over the years. Still, isn’t he acting too rashly by challenging Li Tianyang? Li Tianyang has the cultivation base of Iron Bone Boundary’s later phase!”
“He probably became very confident after two years of improving his cultivation base, I hope nothing goes wrong…”
Feng Family servants were rather surprised at Luo Feng’s assertive behavior.
On the other hand, Li Tianyang felt chills when his eyes met Luo Feng’s!
‘What look is that!’
The look from Luo Feng was overbearing, rude, and sharp like a saber as if he was going to tear Li Tianyang into pieces!
Being stared at by Luo Feng, Li Tianyang felt like he had fallen into an icehouse, whereby a chill entered his body through his pores. He paused for a while as he was scared of dying a graveless death should he get any closer to Luo Feng.
“What’s with that fella’s expression…”
Li Tianyang was so fearful that he was eventually drenched in sweat.
Luo Feng mocked when he noticed Li Tianyang’s performance, “Li Tianyang, didn’t you say that you’re going to teach me a lesson? Why did you stop? Are you afraid?”
The bystanders found it strange too when they sensed the unusual atmosphere between Luo Feng and Li Tianyang.
He was enraged when Luo Feng exposed him. He plucked up his courage, then launched a hit at Luo Feng.
“Ridiculous! Why was I afraid of this trash! He’s only striking up an attitude! I’ll defeat him in one move!”
He quickly collected himself, then exerted all his force to punch Luo Feng’s face.
“Tsk, tsk. Li Tianyang, is that all you’ve got? Did you not have breakfast? Or did you exhaust yourself from sleeping with women?”
Luo Feng shook his head. He shifted to the side as he blocked Li Tianyang’s fist with his hand, which he did so effortlessly like flicking a fallen leaf off his shoulder.
‘How dare you make fun of me!’
Li Tianyang was so mad that his face turned red. He glared at Luo Feng with his bloodshot eyes.
“Luo Feng, you’re going to pay for what you said! Titanium Punch!”
“Bzz!”
Li Tianyang’s brocade robe expanded at once, and his muscles trembled. He released a threatening aura.
Luo Feng squinted his eyes and scoffed.
“You have a death wish!”
A dangerous aura brewed in the air. The other people held their breaths as they were stunned by the frightening scene.
Just as a storm was about to break out, someone shouted from the gate.
“Stop!”
A figure appeared between Luo Feng and Li Tianyang.
“Lady!”
Feng Family servants sighed a breath of relief upon seeing Feng Lingyue.
Although it was a pity that they missed an interesting battle, they were glad because it would be hard for Feng Family to explain if anything terrible happened. After all, Luo Feng and Li Tianyang were from the four great families.
“What’s going on here?”
Feng Lingyue furrowed her brows at Luo Feng and Li Tianyang.
Luo Feng curbed his aura when the fight stopped, he pointed at Li Tianyang with a smile. “Little Yue, Li Tianyang insisted on fighting me because I’m outnumbered, I was forced to…”
Feng Lingyue blushed the moment Luo Feng called her intimately. She quickly looked away, then frowned at Li Tianyang. “Li Tianyang, this is Feng Residence, not Li Residence, you better behave.”
Li Tianyang was furious as he did not expect Luo Feng to complain first, he pointed at the three injured Li Family guards. “Lingyue, don’t listen to Luo Feng, he was the one who attacked my guards without any reason!”
Feng Lingyue did not believe him because she knew him very well, but she did not want to bother about this matter anymore. She asked calmly, “Why are you here?”
Li Tianyang was instantly in high spirits. He turned to order, “Why are you still standing there? Quick, carry the gifts down!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The other Li Family guards quickly walked toward the carriage.
Later, Li Tianyang rubbed his hand nervously, then smiled at Feng Lingyue. “Lingyue, I’m here to propose our marriage to your father. We…”
“Guards, see our guest out!”
Feng Lingyue walked away without even looking at Li Tianyang. She looked at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, come with me.”
‘She’s still the same,’ Luo Feng thought.
Luo Feng rubbed his nose when he looked at Li Tianyang who was blue in the face, then followed Feng Lingyue into Feng Residence.
“Damn it!”
Li Tianyang cursed and clenched his fists tightly.
Right then, a Feng Family servant hurried over and said while trying not to laugh, “Young Master Li, our master invites…”
…
Luo Feng followed Feng Lingyue into Feng Residence, then arrived at a delicate courtyard called Moon Courtyard.
“Moon Courtyard… The last time I was here was five years ago…”
He lamented when he looked at the familiar surroundings.
Feng Lingyue led Luo Feng into the courtyard without responding.
The courtyard was decorated in a simple yet exquisite way and a pavilion could be found further in. Beside the pavilion was a flower garden, whereas a pond full of lotus leaves could be seen on the other side.
Feng Lingyue walked toward a five-meters-tall pear tree beside the flower garden, then looked up at flowers that bloomed. “Luo Feng, do you remember this pear tree?”
Luo Feng shook his head as he did not have the memory of the pear tree.
Feng Lingyue replied in a distant tone, “We planted it together five years ago.”
“Ah, that sapling. It’s so tall now!” Luo Feng was surprised.
When he visited Feng Lingyue five years ago, they suddenly had the interest to plant a pear sapling in Moon Courtyard.
Back then, the sapling was only as tall as a finger…
“It has been five years after all.”
Feng Lingyue smiled calmly, then brought Luo Feng to a stone table where they sat. She asked her maid, Ling Que, to bring them tea.
“Uhh, Little Yue…”
Luo Feng was not in the mood for tea since he was worried about his family meeting that was going to take place at noon, thus he was thinking of a way to bring it up.
Sure, they were childhood playmates who were close enough to share a candied haw, but Luo Feng was unsure if they were as close as they used to be.
Besides, he was about to bring up a serious matter.
Feng Lingyue’s face reddened. She said, “I’m no longer the little girl I used to be, don’t call me that.”
She was a known beauty in Panlong City and among the four great institutions, which was why Li Tianyang wanted to propose marriage to Feng Family. She was even more charming at that moment as she pouted playfully, thus Luo Feng stared at her blankly for a while.
“What should I call you then?”
Feng Lingyue giggled when she saw Luo Feng’s expression. “Forget it, since you didn’t forget me, you can call me that.”
“You’re here because of your family meeting, right?”
“How do you know?” Luo Feng was shocked.
Feng Lingyue fiddled with her teacup as she commented, “The atmosphere around the four great families in Panlong City is intense right now, of course I know.”
“I also know that it was Li Family who initiated!”
“Li Family!”
Luo Feng was startled for a while before he nodded. “I see. I knew that a few collateral relatives won’t have the guts to threaten Father, it looks like they found their support!”
Afterward, he mentioned to Feng Lingyue seriously, “Little Yue, I’d like to suggest to your father about a collaboration with Luo Family.”
Although Feng Family’s patriarch, Feng Yutang, was an influential businessman, he cherished Feng Lingyue very much.
Luo Feng believed that Feng Yutang would agree to work with Luo Family if Feng Lingyue were to put in a good word for them.
“I knew it.”
Feng Lingyue pouted her lips, then replied, “What will Feng Family gain from this? Everyone knows that Li Family’s going to be the number one family and that Li Family’s patriarch will become the mayor. Li Family and Luo Family were never on good terms, it’ll be too risky for us to work with you now. Even if I were to say anything, I’m afraid that Father…”
“No!”
Luo Feng suddenly slammed the table and looked at her in the eye. “Luo Family will become the number one family!”
Feng Lingyue was taken aback. She was a little irritated when she responded, “Even if you say so…”
“You don’t believe me?”
Luo Feng knew that she would react like that. After confirming that Ling Que was not around, he stood up and pointed at the pear tree that was over ten meters away. “Little Yue, do you like pear flowers?”
Feng Lingyue was confused, but she nodded. “Yes.”
“Swoosh!”
Subsequently, the wind blew, and Luo Feng was already beside the pear tree.
“That was fast!”
Feng Lingyue was extremely amazed.
Back at Dragon Arrival Inn, she thought that Luo Feng was already at his maximum speed when he dodged Li Tianyang, but it seemed like that was not the case.
Luo Feng was three times faster than he was back then!
However, Feng Lingyue was even more dumbfounded at what happened next.
Luo Feng took a sudden step in mid-air, then shifted his body to another direction as if he generated energy from thin air!
“This is!”
Feng Lingyue instantly stood up as she was astonished.
“This is Void Steps! He actually performed Void Step…”
“Pa, pa, pa, pa…”
Luo Feng returned to the stone table after performing Void Steps four times in a row, then placed a beautiful pear flower between Feng Lingyue’s hair. He said with a smile, “This flower suits you very well…”
Feng Lingyue flushed in embarrassment. She was still in a daze about what she just witnessed.
Looking at Luo Feng and the pear tree branch in his hand, she felt for the first time that the teen was a mysterious person.
