Clearly, Su Chen had a broad perspective, and he was undoubtedly an excellent disciple from a prestigious sect.
"Senior Sister, Little Junior Sister, am I right?" Su Chen gave Luo Shen and Green Vine a knowing look.
Hearing this, Luo Shen raised her beautiful eyes slightly, glanced at Lin Feng, and covered her mouth with a soft laugh, "Junior Brother is right, we trust Young Master Lin to keep them safe."
"We trust Young Master Lin, my Senior Sister and I," Green Vine also glanced at Lin Feng and echoed.
The two women's gentle smiles made everyone feel as though they were standing amidst the blooming flowers of early spring, refreshing and delightful, as if they were in a heavenly paradise.
Lin Feng, captivated by the glance from Luo Shen and Green Vine, lost his composure entirely.
He sat there in a daze, his thoughts wandering. 'What does this look in their eyes mean? Could it be they have feelings for me?'
'Could my charm be that irresistible? Yes, it must be. I am, after all, the young master of the Lin family of the Central Province. Beauty belongs to the hero.'
"Brother Lin, what is your opinion on this matter?"
Seeing Lin Feng immersed in self-admiration, Su Chen's heart was full of contempt and disdain, but his face remained with a polite smile.
Su Chen's words brought Lin Feng back to reality.
He took a deep breath, concealed the pride on his face, and pretended to be calm as he said, "Since Brother Chu and the two young ladies trust this young master so much, then I propose that these rare treasures be stored with Miss Zi Xia and Miss Green Vine for safekeeping."
"After all, we are now one team and will be acting together for the next twenty-plus days."
Lin Feng dared to make such a decision because he had his reasons:
1. The Lin family had more people, and he was the strongest among them, so he wasn't afraid of Su Chen and the others escaping.
2. Even if Su Chen's group fled, the Lin family could go to the East Hua Continent's Heavenly Dao Sect to reclaim the treasures later. After all, people could escape, but the sect couldn't. Besides, the Saint Son of the Heavenly Dao Sect wouldn't resort to such despicable means.
3. It would also show the two women his trust in them, leaving a good impression and greatly increasing the chances of winning their favor.
As soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice rang out.
"Young Master, absolutely not!"
Everyone turned to look, only to see Lin Ming hastily approaching, bowing his head to Lin Feng and clasping his fists. "Young Master, these treasures are invaluable. Please reconsider!"
"Young Master, you've been bewitched by these two femme fatales! And all of you as well, itching to ingratiate yourselves with them. Pah! All spineless fools!"
Lin Ming pointed at the crowd and started scolding, his brows furrowing, eyes glaring, his anger exploding.
The previously harmonious atmosphere was immediately ruined by Lin Ming's actions, and everyone's expressions turned sour.
Especially Lin Feng.
As the young master of the Lin family, being scolded by his subordinate in front of everyone was a humiliation. Worse still, Luo Shen and Green Vine were being implicated.
This was utterly disgraceful.
"Brother Lin, don't you think my Senior Sister and Junior Sister deserve an explanation?"
Su Chen squinted his eyes, a sinister smile curling on his lips as he coldly stared at Lin Feng.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Ming, what's the meaning of this? Apologize to the young ladies immediately!"
"I refuse!" Lin Ming rejected outright without even thinking.
"Hm?"
Lin Feng's pupils shrank into pinpoints, his entire body exuding a bone-chilling murderous aura.
Seeing this, Lin Ming's neck veins bulged, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
However, he quickly mustered his courage, straightened his chest, and forced himself to say, "Young Master, I know you are fond of these two young ladies, but you must put the family's interests first. These treasures must be kept in our hands."
"Do I need you to teach me how to act as a young master?"
Lin Feng, unable to endure further, stomped on Lin Ming's right shin.
Crack!
A sharp sound of bone breaking resounded.
Followed by a shrill scream echoing through the night sky.
"Ah! Young Master, how ruthless! All for the sake of women from another sect, you've broken my leg!"
Lin Ming collapsed to the ground, clutching his right leg with both hands, his face twitching in pain, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
His appearance was utterly pitiful.
"Hmph! I am the young master. Have you ever shown me the respect I deserve? How do you think Brother Chu and the young ladies perceive the Lin family now?"
Lin Feng's sword-like brows furrowed as he spoke sternly, slapping Lin Ming's pale face. He continued, "Moreover, how dare you implicate these two innocent young ladies? Do you think you are smarter than everyone here? Pah!"
Spitting on Lin Ming's face, Lin Feng's voice was filled with disdain.
None of the Lin family members stepped forward to mediate or comfort Lin Ming.
They stood aside, occasionally whispering to each other.
"Lin Ming deserved it."
"Exactly, he's always been so arrogant."
"If he weren't the guard captain, I would've taught him a lesson myself."
Hearing their murmurs, Lin Ming felt utterly disheartened.
"Ah, Brother Lin, don't be so harsh. Since this guard named Lin Ming has his concerns, let's follow my suggestion and store the treasures with you," Su Chen interjected, attempting to ease the tension.
Lin Feng waved his hand with a grim expression. "Brother Chu, there's no need to say more. If you respect me, you'll follow my arrangement."
Su Chen put on a conflicted expression before sighing and saying, "Alright then, I'll go along with your wishes."
Turning to Lin Ming, Su Chen patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Guard Lin Ming, don't quarrel with Brother Lin anymore."
"Get your filthy hand off me, you hypocrite!"
Lin Ming growled with resentment, glaring fiercely at Su Chen before hobbling away, likely to tend to his injuries.
Watching this, the crowd murmured again.
"Lin Ming was too impulsive."
"Yeah, the young master isn't someone who disregards the bigger picture."
"He's been arrogant for too long."
"Let's hope he learns his lesson."
As Lin Ming disappeared into the distance, Lin Feng snorted coldly before turning his gaze to Luo Shen and Green Vine. His voice softened as he said, "Young ladies, please don't take this to heart. My subordinates are spoiled, but I assure you this won't happen again."
His tone carried a strong sense of dominance and authority.
