Chapter 754: Setting Out

"It's fine. If we get found out, at worst I'll marry you—what's there to fear?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng pounded his chest and said.

But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed an extremely intense gaze staring right at him.

Immediately, he looked up toward the source of that gaze.

"Cao Xiu?"

Even knowing the road ahead is dangerous, they have no choice but to keep moving.

The scene remained silent for a long while; after several minutes, someone finally recovered from shock and muttered, "It seems the Cao family and the Dan Tower Giant have fallen out. Otherwise they wouldn't let Cao Ying graduate early."

"What do you think?"

Though the voice wasn't loud, everyone in the hall could hear it crystal clear.

So the current situation is easy to understand: sever the master‑disciple relationship!

But thinking of the ambiguous ties between him and the former, Lin Feng immediately shook his head again and said, "Fine, I could never let go. Do whatever you want."

As the Cao family head moved, many of those present hurried to return the salute.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall held their breath, perking up their ears, eager to see what the Cao family intended to say.

Now all the surrounding gazes were fixed on them.

"Ahem~"

【7】 At the very beginning, when deciding to help Xiao Yan and seize the exotic flame from Lin Feng's hand.

At the very beginning, when deciding to help Xiao Yan and seize the exotic fire in Lin Feng's hand.

In the next instant, the Cao family head's faint cough began to slowly spread throughout the vast hall.

They thought that several Dou Zun, dealing with a young disciple whose strength fell short of a Dou Zun, would be a piece of cake.

At that moment, the Cao family head spoke again: "Meanwhile, there's another matter. After consulting with Chairman Xuan Kongzi, we've decided to announce it now together."

Behind that, even Xuan Kongzi couldn't hope for peace!

"I never expected that a trivial matter we thought insignificant would turn out like this; the world is unpredictable."

"Thank you all for coming to the Cao family to celebrate my birthday; I express my gratitude here."

After all, many people's utensils had fallen under the table earlier due to sheer shock.

But once they received new utensils, none of them felt like eating or drinking; they bent their heads and whispered to discuss.

Of course, Lin Feng wasn't the only one who guessed what was happening.

These people aren't foolish; given the current situation, the Cao family has definitely fallen out with Xuan Kongzi.

It escalated bit by bit to this point.

And at this moment, Cao Ying beside Lin Feng suddenly said, "Looks like it's about to start, huh?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng helplessly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Fearing a delay, any displeasure from the Cao family would cause them to refuse to refine pills for him.

After all, he couldn't just protect Cao Ying in front of so many people and then give a proper consolation.

After announcing that, the Cao family head immediately smiled and declared the banquet would continue.

Consequently, after the former's cough sounded, the thousands in the hall fell silent in an instant.

After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, for a disciple to graduate, his strength must surpass or at least match his master's.

But Cao Ying now, whether in Dou Qi strength or alchemist rank, still doesn't meet the graduation requirements.

Having said that, the Cao family head slightly bowed his hands toward the crowd.

Hearing that nonsensical remark, Lin Feng was instantly puzzled and said.

"Shut up, you're courting death!"

Before the former could finish, someone beside him quickly tugged his sleeve and whispered sharply.

61.223.158.8

Soon after the former's words fell, Xuan Kongzi immediately stood up.

Even if they thought about it with their toes, they'd know the discussion concerned Cao Ying's early graduation.

Then they stopped looking at Cao Xiu and turned their heads toward the graceful figure beside them.

But now, with a sheer cliff behind him, he couldn't turn his head back.

Yet as he turned, Lin Feng saw that the Cao family head on the main seat had already stood up.

If they expelled Cao Ying from the sect outright, the Cao family would lose its platform.

Even Dan Xuan and the elder beside him, at this moment, ceased talking to others and fixed their gaze on the Cao family head.

It was so quiet that even a single needle dropping to the floor would sound painfully loud.

"Wow!"

Looking into the former's eyes, full of jealousy, Lin Feng glanced at Cao Ying's charming face and thought to himself, "Cao Xiu looks jealous; perhaps he also has feelings for Cao Ying."

He wanted to comfort, but couldn't act too much!

Hearing that, the person reacted, hurriedly stammering, "Yes, I don't know anything."

Elsewhere, Lin Feng, after regaining his composure, forced a bitter smile and looked at Cao Ying, saying.

He hadn't expected that not only the original Dou Zun were killed back by the opponent, but he himself would also be burned.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed instantly.

Anyone in the hall with a quick mind had already guessed the situation.

He knew that what the Cao family head was about to say might be the very reason he gathered everyone here.

However, judging from Xuan Kongzi's actions, although he didn't want to maintain his relationship with Cao Ying, he also didn't want an overt rift.

At the same time, many Cao family servants brought up a slew of new utensils.

However, upon noticing Cao Ying's gaze directed toward the seat above, he also followed her line of sight and looked over there.

After all, the Cao family's strength is also quite formidable.

Soon after, he said lightly: "Since Cao Ying is now progressing rapidly, I have nothing left to teach her. Therefore, after my careful consideration, I have decided to let my disciple Cao Ying graduate!"

At the same time, utensils slipped from people's hands, striking bowls and plates, and the sounds rose and fell throughout the hall.

Even Lin Feng, upon hearing those words, furrowed his brow slightly.

Meanwhile, Xuan Kongzi watched the crowd inside the hall turn uniformly dumbfounded, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.

He then did Lin Feng a favor, sending him to Xuan Yi and Yao Chen.

Cao Ying gave the former an annoyed glance and continued: "I'm already like this, and you don't even bother to show some concern."

As the former's words rang out, the originally quiet hall fell instantly silent.

However, this silence didn't last long; the next moment, the crowd's clamor nearly lifted the hall's ceiling.

"What?"

In this situation, they naturally needed to decide what to do.

Whether to side with the Alchemy Family's Cao clan, or with the Pill Tower Tycoon Xuan Kongzi.

Or else to be a fence-sitter, following whichever side is stronger.
