Chapter 46: Sense of Crisis

  "Big brother, are we just going to let that little brat off like this?" Zhao You shouted out in discontent as the two of them walked out the door.

  "This kid is not simple, with such a low cultivation level yet so arrogant, he must have some background. We don't need to make a move on him for now, let's keep a close eye on him for the next few days and investigate his background first." Qian Dele said in a gloomy tone.

  "Are two Qi-refining stages 3 and 4 really worth being so cautious? Why don't we get the boss to make an appearance? The security guard will beat that kid to death."

  "You don't know squat! What if that kid has a powerful backer? Not just you and me, but the entire Dragon Slaying Society might not be able to withstand it. If we provoke a formidable opponent, no one else needs to lift a finger, our boss will be the first to make us pay. Qian Dele continued to threaten fiercely: "Also, this matter must never be told to Boss, if he finds out, regardless of what that kid is like, I'm afraid my brother and I will have to bear the brunt of it today for provoking Drunken Guest Fragrance, got it?"

  "Alright, I'll listen to you, big brother. It's just that it would be a pity for those two kids to get off so easily. I'm really having trouble swallowing this." Zhao You didn't have much guile and had always followed Qian Dele around, so he more or less listened to what he said.

  "Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on them these past few days? If it's discovered later that he's not up to anything, humph, I'll make him wish he were dead." Qian Dele said with a sinister grin.

  "What if this kid really has a background?" Zhao You asked.

  "Then we'll just wait, wait until this matter dies down and no one notices it anymore. Heh heh, I don't believe he can stay in Yaoguang City for his whole life. With his cultivation, having an accident outside the city is more normal than anything. So from now on, as long as we keep a close eye on him, that's all. Don't provoke him, and don't even touch Liu Kai, that trash. This way, if he gets into trouble later, no one will suspect us, brother, what do you say?" Qian Dele said with a smile to Zhao You.

  The two of them had not been idle in their murderous and thieving activities. Zhao You saw the sinister expression on Qian Dele's face and immediately understood what he meant, bursting out laughing: "Haha, big brother is indeed clever, that little brat looks like he has a lot of wealth, later on we brothers will also be able to make a small fortune."

  Let's not mention the conspiracy between Zhao and Qian to rob and murder, but rather talk about Lin Feng's unease after they left. At the Yang family, there were many senior brothers who had cultivated their energy to the seventh level, and Lin Feng was well aware of their strength. If he didn't have the mid-grade artifact Fish Dragon Sword, he wouldn't be a match for three or four of them. This was still within the family, where the disciples hadn't undergone much tempering; someone like Qian Dele, who had been wandering outside for years, might have even more combat experience, making Lin Feng no match for him at all.

  But judging from today's situation, they are obviously because they didn't understand their identity and were a little hesitant to make a move, plus the face of Drunken Guest Fragrance, that's why they passed smoothly. But what if they encounter this kind of situation again next time? Lin Feng suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

  From the moment I met Liu Kai, it's only been half a day and we've already had a falling out. In just half a day, I've encountered a life-or-death struggle, a fierce dispute with two cultivators who are at least two to three levels above me. This is almost unimaginable in my previous family training life. The world of cultivation isn't as peaceful as it seems, this is something Lin Feng has heard from his master many times before, but he's only truly experienced it for the first time now. The cruel law of the jungle was vividly demonstrated in the dispute just now.

  Liu Kai was scolded by Liu Kaizhi because of his low cultivation, not only did he not dare to get angry, but also had to smile and apologize; His own low cultivation was completely ignored by Qian and Zhao; Liu Zhanggui's strong cultivation could loudly reprimand Qian and Zhao; Finally, he showed off in a arrogant manner, with an air of having a powerful backing, yet temporarily intimidated the two...

  After all, it was strength that determined the right to speak. At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly had a strong demand for power. Unlike when he was practicing at Yang's house to enter Qingyang Gate, this demand was very urgent, and it could be said that it was related to survival.

  The meal was no longer enjoyable, with worries on their minds, even the most exquisite delicacies had lost their flavor. The two of them ate silently, the atmosphere momentarily becoming heavy.

  Liu Kai raised his head several times, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Lin Feng had already seen it in his eyes and knew that he felt some guilt. However, Lin Feng understood that the reason was due to Liu Kai's debt problems, but what actually triggered the dispute was himself. If not for himself, with Liu Kai's cautious response, at most, he would have just lost some face. So, the fault was still his own, and he couldn't help but feel angry!

  "Brother Liu, don't think too much about it. This thing is actually my fault, but since it's already happened, we don't need to pay too much attention to it. We just need to be more careful in the future." Lin Feng's mood was heavy, but his words seemed nonchalant.

  "The Lin brothers didn't know the temper of these two people, they were thoroughly petty and mixed with evil, always seeking revenge. Moreover, the Tulonghui they belonged to was also a wicked and evil cult that wasn't easy to mess with. From now on, our days are going to be difficult." Liu Kai was speechless, he had always kept his distance from them out of respect, not wanting to stir up trouble, but who knew eating a meal would bring about such big trouble? But this matter couldn't be blamed entirely on Lin Feng, it was still because of himself.

  "Are you saying they dared to make a move in Yuguang City?" Lin Feng was startled when he heard that the other party was from the Evil Cult. Although evil cultivators were not as impulsive and violent as demonic cultivators, their sinister methods made them hard to guard against, causing a lot of trouble.

  "It's unlikely that he'll take revenge in such a way, but based on my understanding of Chandelier, after being defeated by us two at the third or fourth level of Qi refining today, he will definitely retaliate. However, it's likely that he won't use the power of the meeting to do so, as he can't afford to lose face. With his cautious nature, next time he'll surely strike back fiercely and won't give us a chance to fight back. So...". Now that things have come to this point, thinking too much is useless, Liu Kai also calmed down and carefully analyzed with Lin Feng the possible methods their opponent might take.

  "So we're safe for a short time?" Lin Feng immediately understood that the other party wanted to figure out his origins before making a move.

  "Yes! So, Lin brothers, if you have any helpers, please contact them quickly. If you can leave, please leave as soon as possible." Liu Kai sighed and said that he was just a small scattered cultivator who couldn't help at all, and if Lin Feng left, he would be in even greater danger. Even if Lin Feng didn't leave, the two of them wouldn't be able to contend with each other anyway.

  Lin Feng heard Liu Kai's words, the first thing he thought of was Yang Ze. As long as he could get the message back, Yang Ze would definitely help him out. But thinking about the thousands of miles between here and Fei Ling City, he knew it wasn't realistic, not to mention that he had no idea how to send the message.

  Although the Sound Transmission Symbol can transmit messages, one needs to seal the other party's spiritual energy in advance as a guide, and the other is that the higher the grade of the symbol, the farther it can be transmitted. In other words, the more expensive it is. A Sound Transmission Symbol that can transmit several thousand miles away would likely require a 4th or 5th-grade Spiritual Symbol, which Lin Feng cannot afford.

  The second person Lin Feng thought of was Zhao Chun, who was only a few hundred miles away at Qingyang Gate. This junior brother was very close to him, and although his current cultivation might not be able to resolve this matter, it was said that his master was a Golden Dan period expert. As long as he asked his master to intervene, resolving this conflict would certainly be easy. But the same problem arose - how could he notify him? Leaving the city was impossible now, who knows where the enemy might be waiting for him.

  After thinking for half a day, Lin Feng still couldn't think of a good solution, so he said to Liu Kai: "Our family is thousands of miles away, and it's probably very difficult to get the news back, so I think the best solution now is that we temporarily don't leave the city. As long as they don't dare to make a move in the city, we are temporarily safe."

  Liu Kai thought for a moment and also knew that sending someone out of the city to pass on the message was not feasible. The other side was now mostly staring at the two of them, and even if they found a Qi-refining cultivator to go out of the city, it would be more harm than good. Moreover, once they showed weakness, they would immediately attract the other side's crazy revenge. As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators, how many spirit stones would that take? Having so many spirit stones was not worth it, and it was better to just find someone to get rid of Qian Zhao duo directly. Therefore, not leaving the city had become the only solution.

  "It seems that's the only way now, fortunately I just left the city and got some harvest, just in time to sell the goods, let's wait and see, hoping the other side doesn't have patience, staring for a dozen days or so will relax best." Liu Kai said with a sigh, he knew his own situation, those things he made could be sold or not, even if they were sold, they wouldn't be worth much spiritual stone, it seemed that there would be no spiritual elixir to take for several days.

  Lin Feng knew what he was thinking and smiled: "Worrying about the Ling Stone again?"

  "Well, who doesn't worry about the Spirit Stone? But don't mind me, if it weren't for today's matter, I'd be worrying about the Spirit Stone every day, haha!" Liu Kai finally put down his worries and forced a smile.

  "Cut it out, with the stuff you're peddling, how many spirit stones can you even sell? I think it's not worth it, just collecting some scraps from the market and messing around with them might earn more than what you're desperately trying to make."

  Lin Feng had countless Qi Dans in his hands, and he could also refine them himself. Even if he provided them to Liu Kai for use until the foundation period, he still had this ability. But firstly, their friendship wasn't that deep, secondly, being cautious when going out was always good, as the saying goes "wealth shouldn't be revealed" was precisely this principle. However, in order to solve Liu Kai's difficulties, he also actively thought of a solution.

  Liu Kai gave Lin Feng a glance and said, "If it were that easy, you'd think making these things doesn't require any capital? And even if you had the money, how would you tell what's good and what's bad? What if you bought them back and couldn't sell them? Don't just look at Baibao Hall being so popular and think about copying it over. Besides recognizing goods and buying low to sell high for a stable profit, most importantly, many of their things are self-made, with huge profits that we can't compare to."

  Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "I've got this under control. Anyway, you can't leave the city now, so just do as I say and I'll make sure you earn money. But let's be clear, we're like brothers, so we need to split the profits equally. And don't forget, you still owe me 25 spirit stones from today's debt."

  "Go ahead, as long as I can make money, I'll have no problem watching stalls every day. As for those 25 spirit stones, you don't need to mention it, I'll return them to you anyway. However, the capital has to come from you, I'm a genuine poor and white." The two of them also relaxed at this point, there's no rush in dealing with Zhao's matter.

  "It's settled then, we'll go set up a stall tomorrow. I've heard that the street stalls in Fang City always have good stuff, and tomorrow I'm going to take a good look. Come on, let's drink a toast for tomorrow!"

  "Cheers!"

  The two of them were delighted, clinking their cups together and downing a full cup of fine wine. Then they shouted loudly: "Good!" At this moment, all troubles seemed to have vanished.
