Chapter 40: Rumor?s (2/2)

“Why are you wasting time with words? Just cripple his cultivation, immediately.” said the young girl in light green robes impatiently.

“Hehe, alright.” replied Na Lan Hai moving his fan. That fan made him look smart and elegant but it was also as sharp as a blade.

Lin Feng finally sobered up slightly on seeing this. He evilly glanced at Na Lan Hai. His cold expression made Na Lan Hai shiver. It was Lin Feng, indeed, it was him.

The force abruptly vanished. Na Lan Hai hadn’t expected that the one who had offended Na Lan Feng would be the person at the focus of all the rumors: Lin Feng.

Na Lan Hai obviously knew all these rumors were not true. Not so long before, he had witnessed Lin Feng’s strength with his own eyes in the Whistle Wind Restaurant. Not only was he strong but he was also ruthless and showed no mercy to those who offended him, not caring about their background. Maybe strong and ruthless were not the right words, it was more like he was actually a monster in human form, he wasn’t strong or ruthless, it was just his nature to overpower and kill weaker animals.

Na Lan Hai had also heard that Lin Feng’s father had been expelled from the Lin Clan. However, he hadn’t heard that it was because Lin Ba Dao was extremely strong but because it had required the Honorable Elder to stop him from exterminating the clan. He had also heard that Lin Feng made a shocking display of power and it had required an elder and two disciples of the Ling Qi Layer to stop him.

“Get lost.” said Lin Feng in an ice cold tone which sent shivers down Na Lan Hai’s spine. Lin Feng was exactly as he had imagined, he was terrifying. Lin Feng’s words cut him like a knife and the thought of angering Lin Feng had made Na Lan Hai take a step back.

“Na Lan Hai, Are you not attacking yet?” said the young girl wearing light green robes seeing that Na Lan Hai hadn’t crippled Lin Feng’s cultivation yet and had instead stepped back. She couldn’t help but be furious at the events. 
Not only did it seem that Na Lan Hai hadn’t heard what she was saying but he had also turned around and said: “Let’s leave, quickly!” While saying these words, he immediately started to leave.

“Is it Na Lan Feng who asked you to come?” asked Lin Feng in a cold and detached tone which made Na Lan Hai slow down in his retreat. He didn’t reply. He continued to walk and pulled the young girl wearing light green robes as a sign that he wanted her to leave as well. 
Lin Feng smiled inside. It was very clear to Lin Feng at that moment what had happened. Those people who thought so highly of themselves, once finding out his identity, they didn’t dare attack. Even if they still looked dominant, were they still talking with the same arrogant tone as before? 
Lin Feng hurried to drain his cup in one gulp and stood up. He then put on his black rain cape and a straw hat then immediately left. The entire crowd had only looked at his figure as he confidently walked out unharmed.

The crowd in the Whistle Wind Restaurant looked at that strange young man. They had so many questions they wanted to ask him.

“Who is that young man who made the arrogant Na Lan Hai retreat and look scared?” asked people in the crowd. They had thought Lin Feng would die. They hadn’t expected that his opponent would cower upon the sight of him. Na Lan Hai’s expression when looking at Lin Feng had obviously been one of complete terror. His actions showed that he did not dare provoke that young boy.

“Na Lan Hai, what was that?” asked the girl in light green robes while furiously shaking Na Lan Hai’s hand off of her.

“That was Lin Feng.” replied Na Lan Hai.

“The piece of trash of the Lin Clan?”

“Lu Er, what piece of trash of the Lin Clan? Do you believe all these lies? Do you really believe he was expelled from the Lin Clan for being weak? According to what we know from our clan reports, Lin Feng made Lin Wu crawl down on the ground like a worm. He had almost killed Lin Hong, who has broken through to the Ling Qi layer. Lin Qian interrupted the fight and with both their powers they could not stop Lin Feng’s attack. If it wasn’t for an Elder who interrupted the fight, Lin Hong would have already taken his last breath.”

“What? Are you saying that he was able to defeat Lin Hong who has broken through to the Ling Qi layer? How is that even possible? You must be mistaken” said the young girl.

“Everything I’m telling you is absolutely true. If you don’t believe me, wait a moment, we can ask the young Miss.” said Na Lan Hai with a wry smile on his face. Before seeing Lin Feng at the Whistle Wind restaurant the last time, he would have also thought that those were all fake rumors about Lin Feng, that he was only a piece of trash, the disgrace and shame of the Lin Clan. He would have thought the rumors were spread by the other clans to cause the Lin Clan to lose face. However, he had eventually found out that those rumors were voluntarily spread by some Lin Clan members who had witnessed the events. It was clear that Lin Ba Dao had spread counter rumors to achieve his own goals. 
 Lin Hai had also been wrong about his son. He did not know that Lin Feng wasn’t the same weak willed and cowardly person that he was before. 
Lin Feng walked out of the Whistle Wind Restaurant and jumped onto Qian Li Xue, He didn’t travel very far from the restaurant. He went to an inn which was near the Whistle Wind Restaurant. He went to an inn because he couldn’t go back to the Lin Clan and had nowhere else he could stay. There was no other place to stay in Yangzhou City other than an inn.

He immediately selected one of the best rooms: spacious and quiet. So that nobody would disturb him. He sat down and immediately started to meditate. He could feel a hunger within his body after suffering that near fatal wound. It was as if his body was yearning for more power and the strength to rule over all. He only needed more power and then no one could treat him the way they had treated him and his father. With their own strength, Lin Feng and Lin Hai would make their own reputation and crush those who had belittled them in the past.

One day, Lin Feng would make the Lin Clan members regret the treatment they had given him and his father at the annual meeting. Lin Feng would make the Lin Clan regret from the bottom of their hearts, he would make them wish they could change their actions. With his own strength he would have his revenge and that day, was not that far in the future.
