Chapter 399: Jokes Are Not To Be Taken Lightly

Lin Feng wanted to enter, but was stopped by the Wu Family bodyguards guarding the gate.

"Why is it you again? What do you want to do?" one of the bodyguards asked.

Lin Feng said indifferently: "I want to see Xiaoxue."

"No, you cannot meet her, and our Head of the Family has given instructions: you are not allowed to step half a step into our Wu Family gate!" this bodyguard scolded sternly.

Lin Feng was immediately extremely annoyed and wanted to make a move.

Yet at this moment, Wu Lianyun walked out from the mansion.

Seeing Lin Feng, Wu Lianyun immediately walked over with large strides and said with a frown: "Why is it you again?"

"Where is Xiaoxue?" Lin Feng asked.

"Xiaoxue is inside," Wu Lianyun said.

"I want to see her; either let me in, or you bring her out," Lin Feng said.

Wu Lianyun sneered and said: "My daughter, is she someone you can see just because you want to? Who do you think you are?"

Lin Feng could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and prepared to force his way in.

But unexpectedly, just at this moment, a phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

Lin Feng took out his phone and saw it was a call from Hua Yuerong, so he had to answer: "Hello, Senior Sister, what do you need me for?"

"Junior Brother, come over quickly, my stomach hurts so much, I must have been poisoned, hurry and help me treat it..." Hua Yuerong said in the phone, in unbearable pain.

Lin Feng's expression changed drastically.

Glancing coldly at Wu Lianyun, Lin Feng said: "I have urgent matters now, so I won't lower myself to your level, but you just wait for me, I will come again!"

Dropping these words, Lin Feng strode away.

At the Affairs Office Building, Lin Feng had just entered Hua Yuerong's office when he saw Hua Yuerong clutching her stomach, lying on the sofa in great pain.

So Lin Feng closed the door and walked over with large strides; as soon as he reached Hua Yuerong, he grabbed her wrist.

"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Lin Feng asked.

"Do I look like I'm alright? Junior Brother, hurry and treat me, I really feel so terrible..." Hua Yuerong said painfully.

Lin Feng then grabbed Hua Yuerong's wrist and channeled his True Qi into her body to examine her.

However, after examining for a long time, Lin Feng did not discover a single problem.

It was then that Hua Yuerong suddenly laughed and jumped up from the sofa, instantly pouncing on Lin Feng and pinning him to the sofa.

"So you were faking it!" Lin Feng said angrily.

"Junior Brother, don't be so angry, I was just playing a joke on you," Hua Yuerong said coquettishly.

Lin Feng said: "How can you joke about this kind of thing! And I am very busy, I have very important things to do!"

"What important things?" Hua Yuerong asked curiously.

Lin Feng explained the matter of Xiaoxue from beginning to end, and Hua Yuerong went "Oh," and said: "No wonder you suddenly came to Minle City, so it was for that Xiaoxue... Oh my, Junior Brother, you are really too impatient; you only sent Xiaoxue to the Wu Family yesterday afternoon, and after just one short night, you ran to their house clamoring to see Xiaoxue."

"Never mind that Wu Family Head of the Family, if it were me, I would definitely be angry too, and wouldn't want to let you and Xiaoxue meet."

"Junior Brother, you have to be considerate of others, you have to learn to put yourself in their shoes."

Lin Feng thought about it and felt that he had indeed been a bit impatient to go see Xiaoxue after only one night.

But Wu Lianyun's attitude still made him feel strange; he felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

"Junior Brother, don't be anxious, I will go with you tomorrow. As the City Head of Minle City, I still have some weight; Wu Lianyun won't refuse to give me face. Being able to resolve it peacefully is of course much better than using force," Hua Yuerong said seriously.

The expression on Lin Feng's face looked much better, and he said: "Alright then, you come with me tomorrow."

Suddenly, the female secretary pushed the door open and walked in.

"City Head, last month's... oh my, I didn't see anything, you two continue."

Seeing Hua Yuerong straddling Lin Feng on the sofa, the female secretary's cheeks turned red instantly, and she hurriedly retreated from the office, and even panicked and slammed the office door shut with a bang.

"This woman is really reckless," Hua Yuerong said with dissatisfaction.

Lin Feng said: "The one who is impolite is you."

For the next few hours, Hua Yuerong kept pestering Lin Feng, hugging him and kissing and nibbling on him.

Except for not crossing the line, the two of them did almost everything else.

Without realizing it, time reached the evening, "Senior Sister, I should go."

"Where are you going? Don't tell me you're going to the Wu Family again? I already told you not to be impatient, I'll go with you tomorrow, why are you always so anxious? Could that Xiaoxue be your illegitimate daughter, Junior Brother?" Hua Yuerong said complainingly.

"What kind of joke is that? How old am I this year, how could I have such a big illegitimate daughter?" Lin Feng said irritably.

"Then what exactly are you going to do?" Hua Yuerong asked relentlessly.

Lin Feng then said: "Dragon Soul Branch General Captain Xiao Jian is throwing a banquet to welcome me; I didn't want to go, but he pestered me relentlessly, so I had no choice but to agree."

"Since I've already given my word, it's not easy to go back on it now, so I have to go."

Hua Yuerong then smiled and said: "So it was this General Captain Xiao Jian who invited you to a banquet. Since that's the case, I'll go with you. I am, after all, the City Head; accompanying you to this banquet won't make you lose face, right?"

Lin Feng couldn't refuse, so he could only take Hua Yuerong along.

On the third floor of Juxian Manor in Binhai City, in a luxury private room.

Lin Feng brought Hua Yuerong here, and Xiao Jian and several Divine Dragon Guards immediately stood up from the table.

"Mr. Lin, you finally arrived, we've been waiting for you for a long time. I didn't expect you to bring the City Head as well. Long time no see, City Head, how has your health been lately?" Xiao Jian asked with a smile.

Hua Yuerong said with a smile: "Stop buttering me up, the protagonist tonight isn't me, but Lin Feng."

"Yes, yes, yes, the protagonist tonight is indeed Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, please take a seat," Xiao Jian said enthusiastically.

After Lin Feng sat down, he didn't stand on ceremony; he picked up his chopsticks and started stuffing his face.

Xiao Jian kept pouring wine for Lin Feng and Hua Yuerong, while those few Divine Dragon Guards took turns coming forward to toast Lin Feng.

If it were an ordinary person, they would be drunk after two rounds at most.

But as a Martial Arts Expert at the Martial Emperor level, Lin Feng wasn't even afraid of poison, so what did mere alcohol count for?

Cup after cup of wine went down, yet Lin Feng showed not the slightest sign of drunkenness, chatting and laughing with Xiao Jian and the others, and before they knew it, their relationship had grown much closer.

"Chief Xiao, how much do you know about the Wu Family?" Lin Feng asked.

Xiao Jian asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin, why do you suddenly bring up the Wu Family? Has someone from the Wu Family committed some offense?"

"I am just curious and asking casually," Lin Feng said.

Xiao Jian then said: "Speaking of the Wu Family, it is a legend... The Wu Family was originally just a small family in Binhai City, but several decades ago, a Martial Dao prodigy suddenly appeared in the Wu Family—Wu Chenggang!"
