Chapter 231: Turning Against Someone Faster Than Turning a Page

~7 min read 1,321 words

Perhaps for fear of making Lin Feng and Lin Jingying unhappy, Huang Ying hurriedly added: "Miss Lin, please do not misunderstand. I have no other intentions; everything I said is the truth. After all, the sound equipment and such need to be tested in advance. If you arrive at the venue right on time, there won't be time to do these preparatory tasks."

Lin Jingying said: "Fine, I understand. I will arrive half an hour early; that should be enough, right?"

"Many thanks, many thanks. Miss Lin, you truly have a kind and benevolent heart..." Huang Ying hurriedly buttered her up, while simultaneously letting out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Lin Feng asked: "City Head Ke invited my senior sister, so why didn't he invite me?"

No wonder Mr. Lin was here, supporting the female celebrity Lin Jingying.

So they were senior sister and junior brother!

Huang Ying finally had a sudden realization, and then hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, you have misunderstood. How could City Head Ke possibly not show you respect? When I set off, City Head Ke had already handed the invitation to his daughter, Miss Ke Moyu, and asked Miss Ke Moyu to go specifically to your villa. City Head Ke even specifically instructed Miss Ke Moyu to be sure to deliver the invitation into your hands in person."

"But since you are here now, Mr. Lin, Miss Ke Moyu must not have been able to find you, so she likely was delayed."

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Mm, I know. I will attend this gala with my senior sister tonight."

"Many thanks for your patronage, Mr. Lin. City Head Ke will surely be very excited to receive this news," Huang Ying hurriedly said.

"Get lost," Lin Feng waved his hand and said.

Huang Ying did not dare to stay for even a moment, yet he did not dare to be rude.

He was seen taking several steps back before finally turning around and walking away quickly, as if he were fleeing for his life.

Seeing this scene, those bodyguards were all incredibly astonished.

"Why on earth is this? That Huang Ying was incredibly arrogant when he saw Miss Lin, but as soon as he saw Mr. Lin here, he immediately became as obedient as a grandson?"

"Need you ask? Although our Miss is incredibly powerful, on the surface she is only a female celebrity. No matter how famous a female celebrity is, she cannot be mentioned in the same breath as a high-ranking official like the City Head. But Mr. Lin is different; he is now the Fifth War King of Dragon Soul and is already one of the top big shots in the Dragon Kingdom. City Head Ke would probably have to greet him upon seeing him!"

"So that's how it is..."

"I didn't expect the rank of a Dragon Soul War King to be so high..."

"Are you kidding? There are only five War Kings in Dragon Soul in total. How many City Heads are there in the whole country? The two are simply not on the same level!"

"Let me put it this way: the Eight Great War Gods of the Dragon Kingdom do not even have to salute when they see the Sovereign of our Dragon Kingdom, and the Sovereign even has to speak to them in a friendly manner. And the head of the Eight Great War Gods, War God Chu Jinghong, is the Dragon Soul Hall Master!"

"Although the five War Kings of Dragon Soul are one level lower than the Eight Great War Gods, why should a mere City Head compare himself to a War King? It's purely laughable!"

"That makes sense!"

Lin Jingying's bodyguards whispered and chattered incessantly, casting looks of reverence toward Lin Feng.

And those women who had previously attempted to seduce Lin Feng were now also staring at him with fiery gazes, each of them licking their lips with pink, tender tongues, as if they couldn't wait to pounce over and devour Lin Feng alive, to make the raw rice into cooked rice!

"It seems I have to work overtime tonight," Lin Jingying said with a bitter smile.

"If you really don't want to go, you don't have to. With me protecting you, Ke Zhenyun won't hold a grudge against you because of it," Lin Feng said.

"I'd better go. I also want to do something for those children who cannot afford to go to school," Lin Jingying said with a smile.

"If you are willing, then that's easy to handle," Lin Feng nodded and said.

Lin Wei grabbed Lin Feng's hand, looked at him longingly, and asked: "What about me? What about me?"

"You want to go too?" Lin Feng asked.

"Of course! Besides, didn't you tell me to follow you everywhere?" Lin Wei said, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"I actually forgot about that. It's my fault."

Lin Feng patted Lin Wei's head and then continued: "Since you want to go, we will go together. However, one must donate to attend a charity gala, so I have to prepare as well."

Before long, a woman walked in from outside.

The person who arrived was none other than Ke Moyu!

Ke Moyu was seen wearing a long black dress with an exquisite black sun hat on her head; she looked like a black rose.

"I didn't expect you to be here. Seriously, you made me run for nothing," Ke Moyu said with deep resentment.

"I didn't ask you to walk, so what if you ran for nothing?" Lin Feng said.

"But my time is very precious. You making me waste time is equivalent to murder for money."

As Ke Moyu spoke, she let out a snicker, then took out a beautifully crafted invitation and presented it to Lin Feng with both hands.

"Mr. Lin, this is for tonight's..."

Before Ke Moyu could finish her sentence, Lin Feng took the invitation and interrupted her: "You don't need to explain. Huang Ying was just here, and I already know about the charity gala."

"Then are you attending?" Ke Moyu asked.

"If I weren't attending, would I have accepted this invitation?" Lin Feng said.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin," Ke Moyu said happily.

Meanwhile, at the Jinling Affairs Mansion building, in the City Head's office.

Huang Ying recounted the entire process of delivering the invitation, but he omitted the part where he was scolded by Lin Feng for his arrogant attitude.

"You said Mr. Lin is also at the Central Grand Theater, and he is with Lin Jingying?" Ke Zhenyun asked in surprise.

"Yes, that is correct," Huang Ying said.

"How strange. Could it be that Mr. Lin went there to protect Lin Jingying? But with his status, why would he condescend to protect a female celebrity?" Ke Zhenyun looked puzzled.

Huang Ying said: "I heard Lin Feng address Lin Jingying as senior sister."

"Senior sister? They are senior sister and junior brother? This... I can hardly believe it! It seems this Lin Jingying is also not simple, but why has she never shown her strength?" Ke Zhenyun muttered to himself, his face full of shock.

But this question was not important. Ke Zhenyun quickly regained his composure and said to Huang Ying: "Since Lin Jingying has such a close relationship with Mr. Lin, you must treat her well and never neglect her. Do you understand?"

"Yes, City Head," Huang Ying replied sonorously.

Ke Zhenyun nodded with satisfaction, looked at Huang Ying, and asked suspiciously: "What happened to your face?"

At the Central Grand Theater, in order to apologize to Lin Feng and Lin Jingying, Huang Ying had slapped himself several times.

His face was now, of course, red and swollen, looking very ridiculous.

"Mr. Lin is too terrifying. He is a Martial Arts Expert at the Martial Emperor realm. I panicked as soon as I saw him, and I tripped by accident," Huang Ying said awkwardly.
