I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming! - Chapter 431 That Time the Most Beautiful Woman in Jianghu Asked Me for Directions and Then Robbed Me
Piece by piece, the old man Deng Zimo revealed fragments of Lin Feng’s origins, his sudden transformation, and the events that followed.
Though not everything was clear, it was more than enough to form a general direction.
And that direction led here.
She arrived without drawing the slightest attention.
Like a phantom, her presence blended seamlessly with the surroundings as she descended into Clear Moon City.
Without pause, she made her way straight toward the Spirit Spring Academy.
Her aura was perfectly concealed, her movements silent and precise.
Within moments, she had already crossed several courtyards, heading toward a specific location marked in the intelligence she had received.
Soon, she reached her destination.
With a silent movement, her figure slipped into a particular courtyard.
The moment she entered, she found herself in a space that was already quite crowded.
At the center sat Lin Feng.
He appeared relaxed, completely at ease, as if unaware of the currents moving around him.
Before him was a table filled with delicacies, and surrounding him were numerous women each with their own charm, their own presence.
Some were gentle and refined, others lively and bold, but all of them were undeniably beautiful.
It was an unexpectedly lively scene.
For a brief moment, she paused, her gaze lingering on Lin Feng.
“So this is him…” she thought, observing quietly from where she stood.
There was no immediate action. No interruption.
Only silent observation as she took in the man known as the Medicine King.
It did not take long for everyone to notice her entrance.
“And another one…” Ning Xi muttered under her breath, her lips forming a small pout as she rested her chin lightly on her hand.
Earlier that day, the Bai sisters Bai Meili and Bai Lian had already arrived, bringing enough commotion on their own.
Now, before the atmosphere had even settled, yet another woman had appeared.
Her gaze swept over the Xiao woman from head to toe, lingering just a fraction longer than necessary.
“She’s beautiful,” Ning Xi thought, her eyes widening slightly in appreciation.
It wasn’t just her beauty though that alone would have been enough to draw attention but the calm confidence she carried, the kind that only came from strength and background.
That alone made her different from the others.
The courtyard, which had already been lively, grew visibly tense.
The woman from the Xiao clan naturally noticed the change.
She wasn’t unfamiliar with such reactions.
Wherever she went, especially among other women, this kind of atmosphere tended to follow.
Many were envious of her beauty and wished they were in her shoes.
Still, she showed no sign of discomfort.
Instead, she stepped forward gracefully, her movements smooth and unhurried, as though she had long expected this moment.
She offered a respectful bow, her posture elegant and precise.
“I apologize for arriving uninvited, Master Lin Feng,” she said, her voice calm yet carrying clearly across the courtyard.
“Senior Xiao Yan has sent me here to serve you. My name is Xiao Qingxue. From this moment onward, I will be under your care.”
Her words were simple, but they landed heavily.
Several of the women exchanged glances, their expressions turning more complicated.
“Serve him?” one of them murmured softly, clearly caught off guard.
Lin Feng himself raised a brow, momentarily surprised.
For a brief second, the courtyard fell into silence.
Then, without drawing attention, Lin Feng released a strand of his divine sense.
It swept across Xiao Qingxue and the faint traces of energy surrounding her, before extending outward, as if tracing something far beyond her presence.
In that instant, he understood.
“That old fox…” Lin Feng thought, a trace of amusement flashing through his mind. “So this is your way of repaying me?”
He had only casually mentioned his dislike for dealing with old men when he was healing the old man, and Xiao Yan had immediately taken it upon himself to solve that issue in the most direct way possible.
“And you send someone like this…” his gaze flickered briefly toward Xiao Qingxue, assessing her with quiet appreciation.
“Refined, composed… and dangerously beautiful.”
He could also tell that she was far from ordinary.
Beneath her calm exterior was a steady, restrained aura… one that spoke of both talent and discipline.
Clearly, Xiao Yan hadn’t sent just anyone.
Lin Feng leaned back slightly, the faint smile on his lips growing more pronounced.
He wasn’t offended.
If anything, he found the arrangement rather satisfying.
After all, having more capable and beautiful women around him was hardly a burden.
“Very well,” he said at last, his tone relaxed and easygoing, as if accepting such a matter required no thought at all. “It’s good to meet you, Miss Xiao.”
He gestured lightly toward the table.
“Since you’ve come all this way, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Come, sit. Join us for dinner.”
There was no hesitation in his invitation, as though he had already accepted her presence without question.
The casualness of his attitude caused several of the women to glance at him, some amused, others slightly exasperated.
“Of course he’d accept just like that…” Ye Xian muttered quietly, though there was a faint, helpless smile tugging at her lips.
Lin Feng, however, paid no mind.
He began introducing everyone one by one, his tone light, almost conversational, as if this were nothing more than an ordinary gathering.
“This is Ye Jian,” he said first, nodding toward the pouting girl. “She complains a lot, but she’s harmless.”
“Hey!” Ye Jian shot back immediately, though her reaction only drew a few soft laughs from the others.
“And over there are Bai Meili and Bai Lian… you’ve already arrived on the same day, so I suppose that’s fate.”
The Bai sisters offered faint smiles, their eyes observing Xiao Qingxue with quiet curiosity.
One by one, the introductions continued, each name accompanied by a brief remark, gradually easing the tension that had initially formed.
Throughout it all, Xiao Qingxue remained calm and composed.
