Rumor

Standing up, Lin Feng lifted his feet and approached a group of people who were chatting happily around a dining table, immediately attracting many gazes.

After all, Lin Feng's behavior of not knowing how to respect and offending Nalan Feng was well known.

"Do you need something?" One person looked at Lin Feng unfriendly and asked.

Lin Feng took out a handful of silver coins, threw them on the table, and smiled, "May I sit down?"

"You can, of course." The faces of these people immediately changed, showing a friendly attitude. In the Nine Heavens Continent, the main currencies were gold, silver, and elemental stones. For low-ranking individuals who did not belong to prestigious families, elemental stones were too extravagant. They had to rely on gold and silver to sustain their expenses.

The expenses of martial artists were very high, and no one would dislike gold and silver.

The group of people made room for Lin Feng to sit down and asked him, "Brother, is there anything you need help with?"

"Well, I'm curious. Why did Nalan Feng gather the outstanding youths of several major families here?" Lin Feng asked.

"You've asked the right person. The city lord is preparing to invite several major families to hold a martial arts meeting in Yangzhou City. Nalan Feng is the one who invited them, so Miss Nalan conveys the city lord's intentions through the most outstanding youths of the major families. Of course, Miss Nalan also has another meaning..."

The man paused, teasing, "It is well known that the martial arts meetings in Yangzhou City are always handled by the younger generation. This time is no exception. Nalan Feng is the representative of the city lord's mansion. She invited the elite youths of other major families to gather here to learn about each other."

Lin Feng smiled. The martial arts meeting in Yangzhou City was not a secret. He deliberately did not return to the sect but chose to stay temporarily because of the upcoming meeting.

"I heard that this martial arts meeting in Yangzhou City is different from the past, and it will also invite outstanding young people from Yangzhou City who do not belong to the major families. I wonder if this is true?" Lin Feng asked without revealing a trace, continuing his inquiry.

"That's right, there is indeed such a thing. Qiu Lan has some reputation in Yangzhou City. The city lord's mansion wants to gather those people through her. As long as they want to participate in this martial arts meeting, the talented youths of Yangzhou City can achieve their goal through Qiu Lan."

"I understand, thank you all for telling me." Lin Feng said politely and returned to his seat. He had already obtained the information he wanted to know.

With his head down, Lin Feng drank and ate alone, not fitting in with the lively atmosphere of the entire inn.

"Nalan Hai, that guy, actually dared to disrespect the young lady with his words. You go teach him a lesson." At this moment, a cold voice came out, making the inn suddenly quiet. Then everyone saw two figures walking down the stairs leading to the second floor. One of them was the green-clothed girl who had accompanied Nalan Feng just now, and the other was Nalan Hai, who had gone upstairs to make arrangements.

"That guy is in trouble." The crowd's gaze involuntarily turned to Lin Feng, with a hint of pity.

"This guy doesn't know how to live. He's asking for trouble this time. I hope he keeps his eyes open in the future and doesn't provoke just anyone."

The crowd in the inn whispered to themselves. In their eyes, Lin Feng was finished. Offending Nalan Feng was not something that could be easily forgiven.

However, Lin Feng seemed to have not noticed the reactions of the crowd. With his head still down, he drank alone, ate small dishes, his face and expression hidden from view.

"Hmph, seeking death." Nalan Hai sneered, his expression cold, slowly approaching Lin Feng.

"I admire you. You can still be so indifferent." When he reached Lin Feng's side, Nalan Hai saw that Lin Feng was still bowing his head and eating, and mocked, "You offended Princess Nalan. Be prepared for the consequences."

"Why waste so much time with him? Just do it." The green-clothed girl said impatiently.

"Hehe, alright." Nalan Hai flicked his folding fan gracefully, but the open fan was as sharp as a blade.

Lin Feng finally raised his head, a cold glance at Nalan Hai, his icy eyes making Nalan Hai's body tremble lightly. It was him, unexpectedly him.

The momentum on his body suddenly disappeared into nothingness. Nalan Hai did not expect that the person who offended Nalan Feng was actually the one who started many rumors recently, Lin Feng.

Nalan Hai naturally knew that most of those rumors were false. Not long ago, right here in the Wind Listener Inn, he had witnessed Lin Feng's strength with his own eyes. Not only was he powerful, but he was also extremely domineering. Perhaps "domineering" was not the right word to describe him, but "sharp," like a unsheathed sword, shining brightly, extremely sharp.

Moreover, Nalan Hai also heard that Lin Feng and his father were expelled not because Lin Ba was too strong, but because the elder of the Lin family intervened. As for Lin Feng, he had shown his edge at the Lin family's annual meeting yesterday.

"Get lost." Lin Feng coldly spat out a word, making Nalan Hai's heart tremble lightly. Lin Feng's sharpness matched his impression of Lin Feng, his footsteps involuntarily retreating.

"Nalan Hai, why aren't you doing anything?" The green-clothed girl, seeing that Nalan Hai not only did not make a move to disable Lin Feng, but also retreated, couldn't help but be slightly angry.

However, Nalan Hai seemed to not hear her words. He turned around, took her hand, and said, "Let's go."

With that, he left directly.

"Did Nalan Feng send you?" Lin Feng's indifferent voice made Nalan Hai's footsteps pause slightly. Without answering, he lifted his feet again and forcibly dragged the green-clothed girl away.

Lin Feng sneered inwardly, already having a judgment in his heart. Those who considered themselves superior did not want to act themselves, so they sent their subordinates, and their words were so beautiful.

He finished the wine in his cup in one gulp, stood up, put on his black cloak, covered his head with a hat, and the whole person was enveloped in the black cloak, stepping into the heavy rain.

The people in the Wind Listener Inn looked at this strange young man, full of doubts.

"Who is this young man? He actually dared to confront Nalan Hai with words, bold and free-spirited." The crowd speculated in their hearts, thinking that Lin Feng was finished, but they did not expect him to actually have real strength, as Nalan Hai's behavior clearly showed fear of Lin Feng.

"Nalan Hai, what do you mean?" The green-clothed girl shook off Nalan Hai's hand, angrily asking.

"He is Lin Feng." Nalan Hai replied.

"Lin family's useless Lin Feng?"

"What Lin family's useless? Green, do you actually believe the nonsense spread by the Lin family? According to the information from our city lord's mansion

, at the Lin family's annual meeting yesterday, Lin Feng made Lin Wu roll on the ground with just a word, and then defeated Lin Hong, who was at the Spiritual Martial Realm behind him. If it wasn't for the elder of the Lin family intervening, Lin Hong would not have appeared here today, but would have been killed by Lin Feng."

"What? You said he could defeat Lin Hong, who is at the Spiritual Martial Realm, and even kill him? How is that possible?" The green-clothed girl said incredulously.

"This is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can ask the young lady later." Nalan Hai smiled bitterly. Before he saw Lin Feng at the Wind Listener Inn last time, he also thought that Lin Feng was just like the rumors, a waste of the Lin family, and then the fact proved that all of this was just rumors spread by the Lin family, probably deliberately done by Lin Ba to achieve his goals.

In fact, Lin Hai was also wrong. In the past, Lin Feng was indeed a waste.

After leaving the Wind Listener Inn, Lin Feng received Qianli Xue and did not go far, but came to an inn not far from the Wind Listener Inn. Now he could not return to the Lin family, and there was no other place in Yangzhou City where he could stay, so he had to stay in the inn.

Choosing a superior room that was spacious and quiet, without anyone disturbing him, Lin Feng began his martial artist's cultivation. Now he was eager for strong strength. Only when he became powerful could he rightfully and openly reclaim all the insults that those people had given to him and his father.

One day, he would make the people of the Lin family regret what they did yesterday, and Lin Feng would not let that day be too far away.
