Chapter 749 How to Satisfy a Proud Saintess When You’re Outmatched in Stamina

Chapter 749: Chapter 749 How to Satisfy a Proud Saintess When You’re Outmatched in Stamina

At that time, Lin Qingyan had simply been an ordinary farmer. Nobody had cared about her. Nobody had considered her future worth mentioning.

But Lin Feng had seen something within her that even she had never known existed. He had recognized her Chaos Lotus Physique.

He had told her that she possessed a future capable of reaching realms of power beyond her imagination. Most importantly, he had accepted her without looking down on her background.

Lin Qingyan smiled faintly.

"I don’t think Master will hurt me."

Chen Baojiao looked at her.

"Why?"

"Because he gave me a chance when he had no reason to." Lin Qingyan’s voice was quiet but firm.

"And I believe in him."

Chen Baojiao stared at her niece for a few moments. Eventually, she sighed.

"Perhaps I am worrying for nothing." She reached out and lightly tapped Lin Qingyan’s forehead.

"Still, remember what I said. Cultivation is dangerous enough without getting involved in complicated relationships."

Lin Qingyan nodded.

"I will remember."

"Good."

Chen Baojiao finally relaxed.

"Now, stop thinking about all of this and cultivate."

"Yes, Aunt."

Lin Qingyan sat down and closed her eyes. A moment later, spiritual energy slowly began gathering around her. Chen Baojiao watched her niece enter meditation and could only shake her head.

She had initially thought Lin Qingyan’s greatest change would be her path of cultivation.

Now, she was beginning to suspect that the greater change would be everything that came with becoming Lin Feng’s disciple. After all, Lin Feng was not an ordinary cultivator.

He was a dragon among men. And once a dragon appeared in someone’s life, there was no telling how dramatically that person’s destiny might change.

The weeks passed once again. By now, Chen Baojiao had made it a habit to be present whenever Lin Feng personally taught Lin Qingyan.

At first, Lin Feng thought she was simply interested in watching her niece cultivate. But after several days, he finally understood what was happening. Chen Baojiao was guarding Lin Qingyan.

More specifically, she was guarding the purity of the beautiful young woman from her own teacher.

Every time Lin Feng approached Lin Qingyan to correct her cultivation technique, Chen Baojiao’s eyes would immediately follow him.

Whenever Lin Feng stood a little too close, Chen Baojiao would subtly move nearer. Whenever Lin Feng praised Lin Qingyan, Chen Baojiao would stare at him suspiciously.

Lin Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had never seen someone guard a disciple from her own master as seriously as Chen Baojiao did. Still, Lin Feng did not mind her presence.

He understood where Chen Baojiao was coming from. After all, Lin Qingyan was her beloved niece, and Chen Baojiao was simply worried about her.

What Chen Baojiao did not understand was that Lin Feng had never been the type of man to force himself upon a woman. If anything, his problem had always been the complete opposite.

Beautiful women kept appearing around him and throwing themselves at him from every direction.

Sometimes Lin Feng barely had time to understand what was happening before another woman had already developed feelings for him.

There were many times he was forced to accept a woman’s feelings simply because refusing would inadvertently harm her Dao heart, turning him into her lifelong regret.

He had never needed to chase women. They seemed perfectly capable of finding him on their own. Thinking about it, Lin Feng could only sigh inwardly.

Why does everyone think I am the one constantly chasing women?

Nevertheless, he had no intention of explaining himself to Chen Baojiao. If having her around allowed her to feel more at ease, then so be it.

Besides, Lin Feng currently had something else occupying his mind. One afternoon, after finishing his usual teaching session, Lin Feng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"The end of the school year is coming soon." He frowned slightly.

"I remember receiving an invitation by that old man to the Grand Academy Competition held at Heavenly Dao Academy."

Lin Feng stopped walking and rubbed his chin.

The Grand Academy Competition was a major event among academies. It was not merely a simple competition between students.

The participating academies would send their most outstanding young disciples to compete against one another, and the results would naturally affect the reputation of each academy.

Spirit Spring Academy had only recently risen to prominence. Naturally, Lin Feng had been invited because of the extraordinary reputation he had made in such a short amount of time.

The problem was not whether his students could win. That question was almost laughable. Lin Feng’s students were far too strong for ordinary academies. Especially the students ten years old and younger.

With the countless enlightenments Lin Feng had given them, their comprehension and cultivation had already reached levels that ordinary cultivators could hardly imagine.

If one of his students could not win a competition against their peers, Lin Feng would seriously have to question whether he had taught them properly.

"Should I bring many of my students?" Lin Feng muttered. He resumed pacing. There was no doubt that if he brought enough students, Spirit Spring Academy would completely dominate the competition.

The problem was that Lin Feng felt doing so would be somewhat excessive. He was not worried about losing. He was worried about winning too badly.

If he brought a large group of his strongest students, the final rankings might become completely occupied by Spirit Spring Academy.

First place.

Second place.

Third place.

Fourth place.

Fifth place.

And even the entire top ten was guaranteed without question. That would be quite embarrassing for the other academies.

Lin Feng might be powerful, and his students might be powerful, but there was no reason to completely crush everyone else’s confidence.

"There is a saying that one should leave some face for others." Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully. After pondering for a long while, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"I have decided." He stopped pacing.
