Chapter 280: Still Have Something to Say

Lv Peng was furious and shouted, "It was clearly this guy who was..."

"That's enough, don't say any more. Mr. Lin is right; we should listen to him."

Hu Lili paused, then continued, "Besides, this isn't school, and it certainly isn't home. It's always better to be careful."

Lv Peng had been hostile toward Lin Feng from the start, and now he hated him even more.

Looking at Lin Feng before him, Lv Peng secretly gritted his teeth, almost crushing them.

Cheng Jiajia said somewhat awkwardly, "But we've already opened these cans of meat. Are we just going to throw them away? That would be too wasteful."

Hu Lili didn't know what to do either.

Lin Feng said, "Since I am here, do as you please. Next time you go up the mountain, be more careful and don't make such amateur mistakes again."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin," Hu Lili said with a smile.

"You're welcome."

Lin Feng said calmly.

Before they knew it, dinner was over.

Hu Lili pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then threw the used tissue into the campfire.

As soon as the flammable tissue landed in the campfire, it was ignited by the flames and quickly turned into a pile of ash.

"Lv Peng, Yang Fan, Mr. Lin will be sharing a tent with you tonight. You'll have to make do," Hu Lili said.

"Why should we!" Lv Peng was furious.

Yang Fan also said coldly, "I told you not to just add people, but you wouldn't listen. We only have two tents in total, and four people in pairs is just right. Now that there's an extra person, it's simply not enough."

"Besides, our tents are only small ones; they're already cramped with two people. Three people simply won't fit!"

Hu Lili glared and wanted to say something more, but Lin Feng took the initiative to speak: "I don't need a tent. You don't need to worry about me."

"How can that be? Mr. Lin, you are..."

Before Hu Lili could finish, Lin Feng interrupted: "I said I don't need one, so I don't. Don't nag. Since you know who I am and know my status, you should also be clear about my strength."

"Furthermore, when spending the night in a place like this, someone must keep watch. Otherwise, what if wild beasts or dangerous individuals sneak over in the middle of the night? You all go rest; I will keep watch."

Hu Lili finally nodded and said with some embarrassment, "Then... then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Lin."

Lv Peng and Yang Fan didn't say anything more and stood up to head toward the tents.

Cheng Jiajia was already yawning, so Hu Lili said to her, "Jiajia, you go into the tent to sleep first. I'll keep Mr. Lin company for a while longer."

"Alright, I'm going to rest then."

After Cheng Jiajia finished speaking, she entered the other tent.

Just as Hu Lili opened her mouth to say something, Lin Feng said, "I don't need your company. You go rest too."

"I still have something to say..." Hu Lili said coyly.

"I am a married man and must keep my distance from other women," Lin Feng reminded her.

As soon as Lin Feng said this, Hu Lili's expression became extremely awkward.

"O... okay."

Hu Lili said softly, sighed, and finally stood up to enter the tent.

Thus, Lin Feng was left alone.

Lin Feng was happy for the peace; he sat on a large rock and began to practice, using cultivation to replace sleep.

Inside the tent, Cheng Jiajia lowered her voice and asked, "Lili, who exactly is that Lin Feng? He looks so arrogant, yet he dresses so plainly..."

Hu Lili said, "Why are you still judging a book by its cover?"

"I'm not familiar with him and don't know him, so what else can I do besides judge by appearances?" Cheng Jiajia said with an innocent look.

Hu Lili said, "Don't ask anymore. You just need to know that he is a very powerful big shot."

Seeing that Cheng Jiajia still looked curious and confused, Hu Lili added, "Let me put it this way: even my father—the Head of the Family of our Hu Family—has to bow and scrape when he speaks to him."

"He's that powerful?" Cheng Jiajia couldn't help but exclaim.

In Cheng Jiajia's eyes, Hu Lili's father—the current Head of the Family of the Hu Family, Hu Guofu—was a very powerful big shot who possessed billions in assets.

Yet Hu Lili described her father so poorly that Cheng Jiajia didn't know what to say for a moment.

Hu Lili smiled: "I'm not lying to you; that's just how it is. At a banquet before, my father wanted to greet Mr. Lin, but he didn't even get a chance to speak to him. Mr. Lin didn't even look at my father once from start to finish."

"Really?" Cheng Jiajia said with a skeptical look.

"Would I lie to you?" Hu Lili said with a light laugh.

In the other tent, Lv Peng and Yang Fan were not asleep either.

Lv Peng gritted his teeth, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes looking as if two flames were burning fiercely within them.

Yang Fan was equally furious and whispered, "That bastard is such a pain in the ass. Can't he just be sensible and leave on his own!"

"I want to kill him," Lv Peng said coldly.

"Then what should we do?" Yang Fan asked.

Lv Peng said, "How about this: tomorrow morning, we'll take him to the woods under the guise of gathering firewood, and then in the woods..."

Yang Fan's expression changed drastically.

Although Yang Fan also hated Lin Feng, he didn't have the guts to actually kill someone.

"No way, are you serious?" Yang Fan asked hurriedly.

"What are you thinking? I didn't say I was actually going to kill him. Although I hope he drops dead on the spot, I'm not stupid enough to throw away my own future for him," Lv Peng said coldly.

Yang Fan asked, "Then what do you mean? Why take him to that forest?"

Lv Peng sneered, "When we were gathering firewood in that forest this afternoon, didn't we find a hornet's nest? Tomorrow we'll force him to get lost; if he doesn't listen, then we'll use a borrowed knife to kill!"

"Good idea!"

Yang Fan was overjoyed, a cold smirk curling the corners of his mouth.

Little did they know, Lin Feng had heard everything: the whispers between Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia, and the schemes and plots of Lv Peng and Yang Fan.

Yet Lin Feng was not the least bit angry; on the contrary, he found it quite amusing.

Because the conspiracy between Lv Peng and Yang Fan inside the tent was just like two ants discussing biting a passerby—it was truly too ridiculous and laughable.

"Why is it that some people can never see reality clearly, nor can they see themselves clearly?"

Lin Feng muttered to himself, then shook his head to banish the distracting thoughts from his mind and continued to circulate his Qi and meditate.

Time slipped away minute by minute, and before he knew it, it was the middle of the night.

Suddenly, the zipper on the tent opened, and a figure snuck out from inside, constantly drawing closer to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng did not need to turn his head to know who had come.

"Not sleeping so late at night? Hu Lili, are you not afraid of having no energy to continue the journey tomorrow?" Lin Feng asked.
