Chapter 1471: Misunderstanding!

Lin Feng didn’t bring a knife. Under the puzzled gaze of the women, he directly lifted a small piece of sod he’d previously dug up, revealing a small hole. Then he reached in and pulled out a lump of muddy stuff.

“What is that?” Ning Aoxue looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression. Her expression was very peculiar, and she thought to herself, “Could it be that Lin Feng is following the trope on TV and has hidden a ring here…”

With this thought, Lin Feng’s action of kneeling on one knee seemed a bit like he was about to kneel down and propose…

Ning Aoxue felt all her cells trembling with excitement. She had never anticipated such a situation, and for a moment, she felt a bit flustered and overwhelmed…

Xue Qingyi was also somewhat surprised as she looked at Lin Feng. She misunderstood too, thinking Lin Feng had unearthed a carefully prepared ring to propose to Ning Aoxue… She felt a bit sour inside…

However, just as Ning Aoxue was feeling nervous and Xue Qingyi was getting jealous, Lin Feng grabbed the thing he’d dug up and dashed straight into the villa…

He actually just ran off like that?! Ning Aoxue looked at Lin Feng’s bizarre silhouette in shock, not knowing how to accept such a reality…

Clearly, Lin Feng didn’t have any such intentions, and she had completely overthought things… For a moment, Ning Aoxue felt a mix of shame and anger and wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it!

Xue Qingyi was also stunned. Not a ring? What was Lin Feng up to after all?!

If Lin Feng knew what Xue Qingyi and Ning Aoxue were thinking, he’d probably loudly declare his innocence. He was merely digging something out of the ground, but these two women’s imaginations were just too wild… Lin Feng took the dragon-shaped jade wrapped in mud back to the villa’s bathroom, turned on the faucet, and eagerly washed away all the black soil on the dragon-shaped jade with water.

Soon, the dirty water was gone, leaving the transparent and elegant dragon-shaped jade in Lin Feng’s hand, vivid and lifelike.

“It really works!” Lin Feng smiled happily. He didn’t expect that his sudden inspiration and random experiment would actually work, and the dragon-shaped jade had regained its crystal-clear appearance.

“Next, I’ll test if its ability to absorb toxins has diminished!” Lin Feng, holding the dragon-shaped jade, returned to his room and began cultivation again…

An hour later, the jade in Lin Feng’s hand turned pitch black like an inkstone once more. This time, Lin Feng finally felt a vague but noticeable sense of relief in his mind.

“It seems the dragon-shaped jade is really working. I just don’t know when I’ll be able to completely eliminate all hidden dangers…” Lin Feng glanced at the ink-black dragon-shaped jade in his hand, feeling a bit apprehensive. This mysterious dragon-shaped jade had detoxified and healed him multiple times, and its effects had always been potent. But now, just in one day, it had reached its absorption limit twice, and he wondered how many more times it could be reused.

Lin Feng, holding the blackened dragon-shaped jade, went outside the villa again to find a suitable place to bury it once more. He noticed that Ning Aoxue and Xue Qingyi, who were still exercising on the lawn, were looking at him with very strange and complex expressions.

“What’s with you two? Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have a flower on my face?” Lin Feng asked with a slightly guilty smile, feeling uneasy under their gaze.

“Hehe…” Xue Qingyi laughed heartily without offering Lin Feng any explanation, even somewhat looking forward to seeing Ning Aoxue verbally spar with Lin Feng…

Unfortunately, Ning Aoxue clearly disappointed Xue Qingyi. She was too embarrassed to argue with Lin Feng, only glaring at him with resentment before silently continuing to practice the martial arts moves Xue Qingyi had taught her.

Feeling somewhat neglected, Lin Feng touched his nose awkwardly. After a wry smile, he turned to find a spot near the wall to bury the dragon-shaped jade once more.

After finishing that, Lin Feng was about to head to Longfeng Martial Hall to check on Zhou Yang’s injury, but suddenly received a call from his mother, Jiang Xiuyun:

“Lin Feng, your dad got a leave to come home for family visiting these two days. Tonight, bring Tang Rou home for dinner!”

Upon receiving this call, Lin Feng had to temporarily set aside the issue with Zhou Yang. His father, Lin Zhonghua, was the top leader of the military sub-district, and according to tradition, he had to spend the New Year with the soldiers at the base. However, as compensation, he would usually get a few days of family visiting leave either just before or just after the new year… This meant that these two days with Lin Zhonghua at home were akin to an early family reunion for the Lin family.

Hearing Jiang Xiuyun specifically ask him to bring Tang Rou home for dinner, Lin Feng’s face showed a rather peculiar expression. Generally speaking, in such important moments, it’s normal for a family to have their son bring his future wife home for a meal. Sometimes, parents, worried that their son might not be very sharp, would, like Jiang Xiuyun, actively hint for him to bring a female friend who might develop into something more, such as a classmate or colleague with whom he hasn’t officially established a relationship yet… However, Lin Feng was very sure that this was not Jiang Xiuyun’s intention.

On the other end of the line was the manager’s office at the head office of a commercial bank in Jiangzhou City. Jiang Xiuyun, who had just hung up the phone, gently shook her slightly aching head, raised her head slightly, and sighed softly as she looked at the clock on the wall. “I used to think it was already a blessing that Lin Feng, such an unstable kid, found Tang Rou as a girlfriend. Who would have thought that this kid, indeed promising, would get involved with so many great girls at the same time… Isn’t this giving me a headache! Never mind, to ensure that the old man enjoys his short leave peacefully, I’ll be the bad guy and just have Lin Feng bring Tang Rou home!”

…

Since Jiang Xiuyun had already spoken, Lin Feng naturally had to follow her wishes… To bring Tang Rou home for dinner, he needed to visit the Tang Family first. It was the end of the year, and visiting at this time meant he couldn’t be too rude. Lin Feng realized he hadn’t formally met Tang Zhendong yet, and having visited the Tang Family many times without bringing any substantial gifts made him feel a bit pressured.

What kind of gift should he bring? Lin Feng was at a loss and thought he needed some advice… After thinking about it, he decided that asking Zhu Xiuyue for help was a good idea. Xiuyue was a trustworthy person, discreet and reasonably meticulous, so asking for her help couldn’t go wrong.

So Lin Feng drove to Longfeng Martial Hall, pretending to check on Zhou Yang’s situation, and then directly pulled Zhu Xiuyue to Jiangzhou City’s largest shopping mall.

“Brother Feng, are you saying you called me out to help you pick out some gifts?” Zhu Xiuyue looked at Lin Feng with some amusement. “Brother Feng, I have to ask, just how many gifts do you have to prepare for this New Year?!”
