Chapter 1365 - 1368: Victory Banquet (Part 2)

"Tonight, uh, I’m afraid not!" Lin Feng shook his head, gently tapped Su Zi’s nose with a smile, and said, "I just had a fight with someone and now I’m a bit tired!"

"Ah?!" Su Zi stared at Lin Feng with a mix of anger and surprise, speaking in a soft voice, "How can you do this! Going back on your word!"

Pah, who’s the one going back on their word! Lin Feng glanced at Su Zi, feeling a sense of revenge. Now, even if Su Zi wanted to use Ning Yujiao’s method to have him help with her cultivation, he wouldn’t be willing... Since you like the easiest way, I’ll just satisfy you, Brother Feng thought!

With mischief in his heart, Lin Feng scanned Su Zi’s graceful and delicate figure, many thoughts crossing his mind.

"No, I want it, I want it tonight!" Su Zi persistently shook Lin Feng’s arm, pleading softly.

But this time, she was mindful of the feelings of others, her trembling voice only reached Lin Feng’s ear.

"Want what... I said I’m really tired." Lin Feng looked at Ning Aoxue with a wry smile, feeling a bit helpless.

Ning Aoxue was chatting with Zhu Xiuyue at the time and didn’t look at Lin Feng much.

"Hmph, Lin Feng, stop teasing me, will you? Come to my room tonight, let’s have a good talk." Su Zi said in a breathy tone near Lin Feng’s ear, "You must come, okay."

As for Su Zi’s invitation full of innuendo, Lin Feng actually didn’t think much about it. It’s not that he had no thoughts about Su Zi, rather, he felt Su Zi was surely teasing him... After all, she lived with Ning Aoxue, how could anything happen!

So Lin Feng didn’t give it another thought.

Su Zi, thinking Lin Feng had understood her hint, proudly sat next to Ning Aoxue and started chatting with Zhu Xiuyue. Three women make a drama, and soon their topics differed from the rough men like Xie Nan and Lu Zhanpeng. The three beauties simply sat at a corner bar in the small pub, enjoying their quiet time...

Lin Feng lay lazily on the sofa with a wine glass, looking extremely relaxed.

With Lin Feng’s current mindset, facing someone like Ye Liangdao caused little emotional disturbance. After dealing with Ye Liangdao, he didn’t care if other martial halls from the Hong Sect would come to challenge him.

If they aren’t that foolish, at least they would wait until the year-end big duel to suppress me! After all, during the Sect Leader battle, anyone unhappy with me can challenge me in a series of fights! Thinking of this, Lin Feng’s heart wavered slightly. The position of Hong Sect Leader isn’t easy to obtain! However, if he could secure the position, he could declare victory in his bet with Ning Fuxun, couldn’t he?!

With these thoughts, Lin Feng’s lips curled into a slight satisfied smile...

"Master... Why are you laughing to yourself here? Are you thinking of going to accompany the two sister-in-laws later?"

Lu Zhanpeng chuckled, sitting beside Lin Feng, asking lewdly.

Lin Feng had only introduced Zhu Xiuyue as Zhou Yang’s girlfriend to Lu Zhanpeng without explaining his relationship with Ning Aoxue and Su Zi. Yet, Lu Zhanpeng, this fellow, directly called them sister-in-laws... And judging from his cheeky laughter just now, who knows what he was thinking!

Lin Feng turned speechlessly to look at Lu Zhanpeng, "Get lost! What’s filling your mind, you brat?"

"Master... no... I was just joking!" Seeing Lin Feng genuinely angry, Lu Zhanpeng shrank back fearfully, "Don’t be mad, hehe..."

"No more nonsense in the future!" Lin Feng glanced at Ning Aoxue, who seemed aware of his conversation with Lu Zhanpeng, warning him quietly, "Or I’ll stop caring about you!"

"No, master, I’m still your disciple, right! You can’t ignore me!" Lu Zhanpeng shamelessly begged after hearing Lin Feng’s threat, disregarding the opinions of his comrades and Xie Nan, acting pathetically.

Yet, this pathetic act worked well for Lin Feng...

"Alright... alright, stop howling! You may not feel embarrassed, but I do! Just spit out whatever you’ve got!" Lin Feng irritably pulled Lu Zhanpeng closer, saying angrily.

"Brother Feng, it’s like this..." Lu Zhanpeng spoke excitedly upon Lin Feng’s permission, "I’ve been feeling like I’ve hit a bottleneck in cultivation recently. Do you have time these days to help me find a breakthrough?!"

"You’re ready to break through?! Doesn’t seem like it!" Lin Feng examined Lu Zhanpeng upon hearing this, noticing his mid-level Inner Strength second layer cultivation far from the second layer’s peak breakthrough state.

Lu Zhanpeng hadn’t expected Lin Feng to see through his state, feeling embarrassed, "Brother Feng, it’s just that in my mind I have this feeling, even though physically I might not have reached a bottleneck, mentally I’m eager for an upgrade!"

Not eager... Lu Zhanpeng hadn’t planned to bring this up today. During his vacation, he intended to hang around Lin Feng for a few days before visiting his parents and discussing early retirement to help Lin Feng. But after witnessing Lin Feng’s prowess today, Lu Zhanpeng changed his mind, putting everything else aside, focusing solely on seeking Lin Feng’s guidance for improving his skills.

Of course, internally, Lu Zhanpeng only hoped for verbal guidance from Lin Feng, not expecting any deeper involvement. However, Lin Feng’s words left him stunned.

"Mid-level Inner Strength second layer is indeed low; stay at the Longfeng Martial Hall these days. I’ll help you break through to Inner Strength third layer!" Lin Feng casually instructed, like telling Lu Zhanpeng to sleep early and maintain good health, without a hint of seriousness, leaving Lu Zhanpeng doubting his ears.

"Brother Feng, what did you just say?!" Lu Zhanpeng widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng repeated his words with a smile.

Upon hearing Lin Feng plan to enhance his strength a second time, Lu Zhanpeng jumped up, containing his excitement, he asked for confirmation, "Brother Feng, are you serious?!"

"Serious? Have I ever lied to you?" Lin Feng turned his head, feigning anger, casually saying, "Believe it or not!"

"No, master, of course, I believe you, whatever you say, I believe!" Lu Zhanpeng quickly interjected, remedying his words.

"Then, from now on, stay quiet, and after tonight, I’ll find time to teach you how to break through to Inner Strength third layer!" Lin Feng sternly instructed Lu Zhanpeng.

Hearing this, Lu Zhanpeng immediately thought Lin Feng had other plans tonight, hence delaying his cultivation boost until later... Considering Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, Lu Zhanpeng curbed his gossip urges just in time, stopping himself from teasing Lin Feng’s private life out loud...

Lin Feng looked at Lu Zhanpeng with a half-smiling expression, casually grabbed a glass of wine, and gulped it down...

Nearby, Xie Nan overheard the conversation, feeling envious of Lu Zhanpeng’s luck. Actually, Xie Nan was at the peak of Inner Strength second layer, but lacking Lu Zhanpeng’s shamelessness, he refrained from making such demands... Besides, Xie Nan felt he still owed Lin Feng.

However, although Xie Nan didn’t speak up, Lin Feng proactively looked at him kindly, instructing, "Xie Nan, don’t go out these days either, I’ll help you out too!"
