she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Feng simply shrugged nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he kept the promise of not speaking out to Deng Yongshi, that was enough; spats between younger members of a family were all too common, and he felt no need to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Ling Feng acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, not even glancing in Deng Yongshi’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely patted Deng Yongshi on the shoulder and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yongshi looked at Ling Feng and saw that his demeanor was calm and unhurried, as if he hadn’t seen the mockery and laughter around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip and reflected that her own state of mind was far from Ling Feng’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rong, seeing that Ling Feng didn’t even bother to give her a single glance, felt her pride wounded and scoffed with a fake smile, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling seems to be quite aloof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I don’t really know what Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling is capable of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be personally invited by my grandfather to teach my cousin, you must be extraordinary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a side note, my teacher is a vice president of the Alchemy Master Guild, not too impressive, just a Fifth-rank Alchemist with some minor renown in the Imperial City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I imagine Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling wouldn’t be any less capable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that Li Rong intended to embarrass Deng Yongshi; not daring to trouble Deng Yongshi too much, she deliberately ridiculed Ling Feng a few times to make Deng Yongshi lose face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes, Ling Feng was just a teenager; how capable could he be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>General Deng must have invited him simply to keep Deng Yongshi company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Feng gave Deng Yongshi a glance and pursed his lips, saying lightly, “I’m flattered Miss thinks highly of me, but alas, I indeed have no special skills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, an elderly man with white at the temples, in his sixties, emerged from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rong immediately went up to him and respectfully bowed, greeting, “I pay my respects to you, Teacher!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly man nodded slightly and looked at Ling Feng, saying lightly, “Xiao Rong, has your teacher not taught you to be modest and not to bully others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man is likely not a teacher but simply an ordinary retainer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon these words, a wave of laughter swept through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, he must be a retainer for sure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at his silly appearance; he’s probably not a retainer but a servant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You lot!” Deng Yongshi burst out angrily, clenching her fist and shouting at the surrounding gossiping crowd, “Don’t go too far!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angrier Deng Yongshi became, the happier Li Rong felt inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke with a cold sarcasm, “You’re right, Teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We really shouldn’t bully a little retainer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m so sorry, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling—Teacher—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She deliberately stressed the word “Teacher” with a biting sarcasm that made her disdain crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other teachers of the younger Deng family members also shook their heads and spoke bluntly, “Young man, the title of ‘Teacher’ is not something just anyone can hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At your young age, what can you teach anyone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd looked on with cold eyes and merciless mockery; they all but outright said: “Someone like you better not show your face and embarrass yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!” Filled with righteous indignation, Deng Yongshi instinctively defended Ling Feng, exclaiming, “He is not some retainer; he is a teacher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is my teacher!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even realize that she, who had always detested Ling Feng and never wanted to acknowledge having such a “Little Teacher,” couldn’t stand to see everyone berating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her heart, no one could be a better teacher than Ling Feng, although she had only been with him for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in those three days, she had learned more than she had in the previous decade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay calm,” Ling Feng said, still devoid of any anger, his voice even carrying a hint of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yongshi had finally recognized her teacher publicly, and the efforts of these past few days had not been in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other people, what did it matter to him how they saw things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon seeing Deng Yongshi puff up with anger, he still stepped forward to grasp her arm, shook his head slightly, then looked at the septuagenarian and said with a faint smile, “Sorry, I hadn’t finished speaking just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lee Rong’s eyelid twitched, giving Ling Feng a somewhat strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point, what could the youngster still say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he blabbered on, wouldn’t he still just be some greenhorn without any credentials!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The septuagenarian also seemed intrigued, squinting at Ling Feng as he said faintly, “Young man, is there something else you wish to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, I, Ling Feng, don’t have much ability and am only fortunate to become Miss Deng’s teacher because of General Deng’s misplaced favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, it seems that a mere Fifth-rank Alchemist doesn’t have the qualifications to act arrogantly in front of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Feng’s voice was very calm, with a hint of laziness, as if Fifth-rank Spirit Pills were, in his eyes, truly nothing more than a fart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was that even possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, he’s really blowing his own trumpet now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodness, so young and yet so ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, he actually dares to belittle a Fifth-rank Alchemist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good lord, has this kid been kicked in the head by a donkey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dares to say anything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now this is going to be interesting, Lee Rong’s cousin’s teacher, Master He, is a Fifth-rank Alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid is really looking for trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The septuagenarian, or rather Lee Rong’s teacher, He Taichong, also furrowed his brow and swept a cold glance at Ling Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, I’ll allow you to take back what you just said, otherwise, I would really like to see just how capable you are to dare to speak ill of a Fifth-rank Alchemist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Taichong’s eyes filled with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Senior Expert, offering a few “pointers” to a junior should have been met with obedient listening, but this junior dared to be so insolent and wild; such a disrespectful youngster deserved to be taught a lesson!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yongshi was also startled by Ling Feng’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth was he saying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was about fighting for some pride, there was no need to boast like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, look what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master He had truly become angry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, what are you doing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t I tell you not to speak?” Deng Yongshi pulled at Ling Feng’s sleeve, feeling inwardly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Feng gave her a faint smile, sending a reassuring look her way before slowly continuing, “If you truly love Alchemy, then you should treat the status of an Alchemist as an honor, not a tool for showing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a Fifth-rank Alchemist is merely a small threshold in the path of Alchemy Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To sit at such a level and have such a narrow view of the sky, don’t you find it somewhat laughable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You dare to lecture me?” He Taichong’s face turned livid, his beard trembling with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Fifth-rank Alchemist, wherever he went, he was the subject of much adulation and flattery, yet Ling Feng, this brash youngster, dared to make such audacious remarks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was he wrong in his lecture?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a deep and forceful voice came from outside the courtyard, irresistibly magnetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads to see a figure in a wide robe striding forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And beside that elderly figure was none other than another person, none other than General Deng himself!\u003C\u002Fp>",1344,"2026-06-06T00:59:02.776Z",1,"novelbin.me","3ed72183dc75cc9c0e6f16ec82fc27a785d5431f2832a5b70eb10f76808a32be","chaos-heavenly-emperor-technique-chapter-418","chaos-heavenly-emperor-technique-chapter-416",1790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fchaos-heavenly-emperor-technique-cover.jpg"]
