Chapter 761: Preparing to Launch the Rescue Operation of Xiao Yan

"So that's how it is right from the start; it seems these women aren't very welcoming of my arrival!"

Regarding the three women's actions, she—who had been cultivated from childhood as a Dan Tower giant—naturally guessed their intention quickly.

Yet, while she thought that, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she looked at Lin Feng with a charming grin, saying, "Husband, it seems the sisters aren't really welcoming me; perhaps I should go back first."

Of course she said that, but she never imagined actually slipping away in disgrace from Leaf Courtyard.

After all, if she gives up the first time, who knows how these women will bully her later.

The reason she said that is because she was sure Lin Feng would never let her leave like that!

"Alright, stop messing around; if there's nothing else, let's return to the room and discuss business."

As expected, Lin Feng naturally couldn't let Cao Ying leave that way, so he spoke up trying to smooth the relations among them.

He also knew that Xiao Yixian and the others weren't deliberately targeting Cao Ying.

They were just a bit upset seeing his closeness with Cao Ying.

Having said that, he let go of Cao Ying's delicate hand and continued walking toward the back courtyard.

Seeing the former leave, the four women exchanged a glance and then silently followed behind him.

"Young Master, Lin Feng has returned now."

While Lin Feng was temporarily dealing with the four women's issue, in a tavern inside Sacred Dan City, an elder hurried to a room door and shouted inside.

"Squeak~"

As soon as the former finished speaking, the tightly shut door was immediately pulled open from inside.

Then Xiao Yan asked excitedly, "Where is he right now?"

"When I left, he and Cao Ying went toward Leaf Courtyard."

Seeing the former become suddenly excited, the elder quickly replied.

"Alright, you and the others can rest here for a while; I'll step out for a moment."

Hearing the location, Xiao Yan wasn't surprised; after a brief remark, he hurriedly headed toward Leaf Courtyard.

Of course, Lin Feng at this moment naturally didn't know Xiao Yan was rushing here.

After entering the room, he went straight to sit on the wooden table inside.

As for the four women, they each took seats.

After the women were all seated, Lin Feng immediately asked, "Where's that Zi Yan girl? Why haven't we seen her?"

"That girl returned to Leaf Courtyard a few days after you left, then Xin Lan took her under her wing to study etiquette for over half a month. A few days ago we gave her a few days off, but she was eager to go out and, before we could ask, she rushed out. Now we don't know where she went; after all, you know she's extremely playful."

As soon as the former finished speaking, Xiao Yixian shook her head and replied.

"That girl, being taught by Xin Lan for so long, probably got fed up."

Hearing that, Lin Feng chuckled lightly, then brushed the soft hair beside him belonging to Xin Lan, saying, "She didn't cause trouble while learning from you, right?"

"No, during that period Zi Yan didn't slack off; she studied earnestly."

Xin Lan closed her eyes, enjoying the former's touch, and lightly parting her pink lips, replied.

As for Cao Ying beside them, she heard the conversation but didn't interject.

After all, she doesn't even know who Zi Yan is, so she couldn't speak up.

"What about Xiao Yan's side? Any developments?"

After learning that Xiao Yixian and the three women also didn't know Zi Yan's whereabouts, Lin Feng didn't immediately rush to use the Space Wormhole jade tablet to summon the girl back, but kept asking.

Xiao Yixian glanced at Cao Ying, saw that Lin Feng had told her to stay here, and immediately said, "A few days ago, the Grand Void Ancient Dragon Battle Sovereign who was monitoring Xiao Yan sent word that they had summoned an Eight-Star Battle Sovereign, a Seven-Star Battle Sovereign, and two Six-Star Battle Sovereigns, presumably preparing to act."

"Earlier I also went to investigate the Lost Soul Mountain Range, and through some demonic beasts learned that not long ago, several unfamiliar Battle Sovereigns entered there twice. I think they were sent by Xiao Yan or the three Dan Tower giants. I guess they also think Yao Chen is in that Soul Hall sub‑hall."

As soon as the former finished speaking, Feng Qinger added.

"Oh, in that case, I need to get ready quickly."

Hearing Feng Qinger's words, Lin Feng immediately concluded that those unfamiliar Battle Sovereigns were indeed sent by Xiao Yan or the Dan Tower giants.

After all, aside from those two sides, who would go explore the Soul Hall sub‑hall without reason?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Feng Qinger and said, "Feng, you can now have your teacher and those subordinates each ambush near the Soul Hall sub‑halls we previously selected, ready to act at any time."

Hearing that, Feng Qinger's pink lips curved, "Don't worry, I sent the teacher and others out a few days ago."

"Feng, you've done well; when this is over, I'll reward you handsomely."

Seeing his wife had already arranged everything, Lin Feng burst out laughing.

However, since Feng Qinger and Xiao Yixian were sitting opposite him, he couldn't make any other moves.

Hearing that, the four women all gave the former a big eye roll.

Then Cao Ying furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Are you planning to ambush the Soul Hall?"

Because Lin Feng hadn't told her about this on the way here.

So up to now, she still doesn't know what Lin Feng and the others are talking about.

"You haven't told her yet?"

Seeing the former ask, Feng Qinger immediately looked at Lin Feng.

As for Xiao Yixian and Xin Lan, the two women also looked at the former with slight surprise.

They had thought Lin Feng would let Cao Ying join this discussion, and had mentioned it to the former on the way.

"Uh, there was no time to say it then."

Seeing all the women look at him, Lin Feng scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said.

After all, during the few days inside the Space Wormhole, he and Cao Ying had battled for several days and nights.

Even the stockings on her legs have been changed countless times.

In that situation, he had no time to say it.

Hearing that, the women all showed a speechless expression.

Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they, having lived with Lin Feng for so long, …

After a brief daze, she guessed the former—why there was no time to tell Cao Ying on the way back.

Immediately after, Xiao Yixian glared at Lin Feng in annoyance, then turned her head and whispered an explanation beside Cao Ying's ear.

"You really have the nerve, actually playing fire to get the chestnut!"

After hearing Xiao Yixian finish explaining the whole plan, Cao Ying's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, she finally realized that Lin Feng and his companions had set their scheme against the Soul Hall, playing black against black!
