Chapter 126: Yunxiao Group Banquet

~8 min read 1,424 words

Lin Feng picked up a skewer of grilled meat, took a bite, and said unhurriedly, "The two of us are covered in dirt and have injuries on our bodies; if we go to a luxury hotel to eat looking like this, people will likely think we're suspicious characters."

"Is it not suspicious to eat here?" Liu Qianxue asked angrily.

"Of course not. Eating in a place like this, the stall owner will nine times out of ten think we're just migrant workers who just finished overtime," Lin Feng said with a straight face.

"Screw you, where do I look like a migrant worker?"

Liu Qianxue was hopping mad and wished she could give Lin Feng a punch.

"Eat up, can't the grilled meat even plug your mouth?" As Lin Feng said this, he picked up several skewers of fragrant grilled lamb and shoved them all into Liu Qianxue's mouth.

Only then did Liu Qianxue finally stop nagging, eating meat and drinking alcohol in large gulps, even clinking glasses with Lin Feng.

But after a while, Liu Qianxue lowered her voice and said, "The Zhao Family has inextricable ties with the Hidden Demon Sect and is highly suspicious; I must report this matter to the higher-ups of Dragon Soul."

"So?" Lin Feng asked.

"So don't be in a hurry to make a move. I know you have a grudge against the Zhao Family and that the Zhao Family is also related to the destruction of your family, but since the Zhao Family has ties to the Hidden Demon Sect, we must investigate thoroughly. Perhaps we can find more clues about the Hidden Demon Sect from the Zhao Family," Liu Qianxue said very seriously.

Lin Feng frowned, feeling very unhappy inside.

To tell the truth, he really wanted to break into the Zhao Family right now, beat the Head of the Family and the core members of the Zhao Family until they were crippled, and then hang them up for interrogation!

But Liu Qianxue's words were indeed very reasonable; compared to the Hidden Demon Sect, the Zhao Family was nothing more than a stray dog on the side of the road.

If Dragon Soul could really find the Hidden Demon Sect through the Zhao Family, it would also be a good thing for Lin Feng.

"Fine, I'll listen to you and won't take the initiative to act against the Zhao Family. But if people from the Zhao Family provoke me, I won't show them any mercy," Lin Feng said.

"It's settled then, cheers!"

As Liu Qianxue said this, she picked up the large glass of iced beer in front of her and clinked it heavily against Lin Feng's.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Feng went home.

In the bedroom, Lin Feng sat on the edge of the bed, holding a small, antique-looking box in his hand.

Inside this box was that incomplete Jade Pendant.

Back then, when the Lin Family was destroyed, Lin Feng's mother gave this Jade Pendant to Lin Feng while she was dying, saying it could keep Lin Feng safe.

However, Lin Feng had checked it several times and could not see what was special about this Jade Pendant, so he put it into this box and never touched it again.

But the intelligence revealed by Blood Fiend tonight was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this Jade Pendant!

After all, it was this thing that brought the disaster of annihilation upon the Lin Family!

Lin Feng took a deep breath and opened the box; the Jade Pendant with the auspicious dragon pattern came into his view.

Yet, when Lin Feng held the Jade Pendant in his hand, he still couldn't discover what secrets were contained within it; whether by dripping blood or injecting True Qi, this Jade Pendant did not produce any changes.

If one had to say there was something peculiar about it, it was that this Jade Pendant was extremely sturdy!

Lin Feng was now at the Martial King realm, his two hands like iron pincers, capable of squeezing and deforming steel.

Yet he could not damage this Jade Pendant in the slightest!

"Could it be that my strength is insufficient, which is why I cannot crack the secrets within the Jade Pendant?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, lost in thought.

At the same moment, Yang Zhenting received Liu Qianxue's report.

"Four Great Elders? Eight Great Protectors? The Hidden Demon Sect is actually this terrifying..."

Yang Zhenting's face turned ashen, and the hand holding the receiver was trembling slightly.

Yang Zhenting could not help but feel afraid.

A single Blood Fiend had already caused heavy casualties to the Divine Dragon Guard, and even Zhou Hao and Yang Xiao had nearly died at the hands of Blood Fiend, while Liu Qianxue, wearing the Golden Soft Armor, was likewise no match for Blood Fiend, being injured by Blood Fiend in a single exchange.

Yet Blood Fiend could not even be ranked within the Hidden Demon Sect; above Blood Fiend were the Eight Great Protectors and the Four Great Elders, not to mention the Sect Leader of the Hidden Demon Sect.

Viewed this way, the strength of the Hidden Demon Sect was very terrifying, worthy of being called the number one evil organization in the Dragon Kingdom!

"General Captain, Lin Feng made a great contribution this time. If it weren't for his help, I might have been able to return alive, but Zhou Hao, Yang Xiao, and those five hundred Divine Dragon Guards would likely have been wiped out," Liu Qianxue said very seriously over the phone.

"I know, I have seen Lin Feng's contribution. I will report to the organization and apply for a reward for Lin Feng," Yang Zhenting said.

"Then I can rest easy," Liu Qianxue said with a smile.

Yang Zhenting asked, "You seem to care a lot about Lin Feng?"

"It doesn't count as caring; I just don't want to let those who have made contributions feel disheartened. If effort isn't rewarded, then who would be willing to contribute to the Dragon Kingdom?" Liu Qianxue said.

"Your words are very reasonable, but I still have to remind you: Lin Feng has a fiancée, don't go causing me any trouble," Yang Zhenting said.

"General Captain, what do you mean by that? It sounds as if I've taken a liking to that kid!"

Liu Qianxue said irritably, and then hung up the phone directly.

The next morning at nine o'clock.

Lin Feng was still resting and had not yet woken up.

Although his strength was astonishing, the fierce battle with Blood Fiend last night had consumed quite a bit of his energy, and he couldn't afford not to get a good rest.

Just then, a shrill cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, picked up the phone from the nightstand, and after glancing at the caller ID, realized it was a call from his Second Senior Sister, Shen Yunxiao.

As soon as he answered, Shen Yunxiao's teasing voice came through the phone: "Are you up yet, you big lazybones?"

"I'm up, I'm up."

Lin Feng said with a wry smile and sat up.

"At noon today, my Yunxiao Group is hosting a banquet at the Hanhai International Hotel. Many big shots will be attending, so you should come over and join in the fun," Shen Yunxiao said.

"I'm not interested, why don't we just forget it," Lin Feng said, rubbing his temples.

"No, you must come. You are the Chairman of the Hanhai Group, and besides, don't you want to see me?" Shen Yunxiao said with a hint of resentment.

Lin Feng felt very helpless.

These senior sisters of his all appeared proud and arrogant on the surface, looking down on everyone, but in private, they were more clingy than the last, all of them being little pests.

"Alright, I know, I will come on time to attend, but I will bring a family member," Lin Feng said.

"Don't worry, Su Mingyue is also on the invitation list," Shen Yunxiao said.

At eleven o'clock, a luxury Porsche pulled up in front of the Hanhai International Hotel.

The car door opened, and Lin Feng, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stepped out with Su Mingyue, but they were not the only ones to emerge from the car; Su Mingyue's father, Su Zhenhe, and her second aunt, Chen Yurong, were also there.

There was naturally no issue with Su Zhenhe accompanying Su Mingyue and Lin Feng to this banquet, as he was Su Mingyue's father.
