A night of cultivation had once again enhanced Chu Feng’s strength.
Ever since he understood the differences and similarities between cultivation and martial cultivation, Chu Feng’s strength hadn’t been advancing by leaps and bounds, but there was at least growth every day. This was much stronger than a normal martial cultivator.
When Chu Feng ca out of his room, he saw Qin i and Cui Jingyan busily preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"Sister Yan, Sister i, good morning," Chu Feng greeted proactively.
"Breakfast will be ready soon, go wash up," Qin i turned and said to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng said, "Sister Yan, Sister i, you’re suddenly treating so well, I’m still not quite used to it. I’m not going to my death, I promise to beat that bastard and co back alive."
"Talking about death first thing in the morning, and besides, I can tell you’re not afraid of dying, you’re just being cheeky," Cui Jingyan said, glancing at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Sister Yan, that’s more like you."
Cui Jingyan glared at Chu Feng and said, "Alright, let’s go and let him prepare breakfast."
Cui Jingyan pulled Qin i away, and Chu Feng happily accepted the task of preparing breakfast.
Of course, Chu Feng wasn’t cheap to the point of not enjoying himself; this was just the normal state of affairs every day. Chu Feng didn’t want to put pressure on them.
"Will you co to my duel?" Chu Feng asked while eating a bun.
"No. We’ll wait for you at ho," the four ladies said in unison.
This was clearly pre-arranged.
Chu Feng sighed and said, "It’s a real sha you’re not going, how will you see my heroic and martial side then? I’ve prepared a lot of poses that I think are pretty cool, if you don’t go, who am I going to show them to?"
"Scram!" the four ladies said again in unison.
"Sister i, was the boss always this cheeky?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked Qin i.
Qin i said, "He wasn’t like this before, but now I see clearly. He used to be subtly cheeky, now he’s openly cheap, it’s all the sa."
"Giggle!"
Qin i’s words made everyone burst into laughter.
After breakfast, the four ladies all got busy. Chu Feng cleaned up a bit and headed back to school.
Just as he arrived at the school gate, Chu Feng received a phone call from Zhuang Xinyan.
"Chu Feng, co with to an evening banquet tonight," Zhuang Xinyan said directly.
Chu Feng said, "No."
"Why not?"
"There’s definitely nothing good."
"Letting you pretend to be my boyfriend, isn’t that a good thing?"
"That’s the worst, with no compensation."
"This ti there is. I’ll let you hook my arm or wrap your arm around my waist," she offered.
This kind of offer sowhat tempted Chu Feng, but he quickly realized and said, "This is just a trap, you’re definitely setting a trap for to fall into. Then soone will take secret photos and send them to An Rongrong. You’re too scheming, even if you like , you can’t break up Rongrong and like this."
Zhuang Xinyan said, "Has anyone ever told you that your narcissism is quite embarrassing?"
Chu Feng said, "No. But soone has told that I look handso from every angle."
"..."
"I’ll co to the school at five in the evening to pick you up. Rember to dress sharp," Zhuang Xinyan decided it was better to end the call sooner rather than later.
"I told you I’m not going, I don’t want to cause a misunderstanding with Rongrong."
Zhuang Xinyan said, "You just want to call Rongrong, so that you have the ’Treasure Sword’ to openly take advantage of , right?"
Chu Feng retorted angrily, "How can you think of that way? I am a true gentleman."
"Then I won’t call!"
"You can send a WeChat ssage."
"..."
Zhuang Xinyan hung up the phone, but soon Chu Feng’s hand buzzed—it was a text ssage from Zhuang Xinyan.
Reading the content of the ssage, Chu Feng let out a chuckle, then slipped the phone into his pocket.
At five in the afternoon, Zhuang Xinyan drove to pick up Chu Feng.
"Where’s your suit?" Zhuang Xinyan asked, looking at Chu Feng who was dressed casually.
However, Chu Feng’s eyes were fixated on Zhuang Xinyan’s dress—the black, strapless evening gown.
Of course, the gown was beautiful, but what mainly captivated him was Zhuang Xinyan’s goddess-like appearance and aura, sothing that even Princess Taiping would probably envy and make n linger in their gaze.
"I’ve got only one suit, and I’ve worn it twice already," Chu Feng said.
"Get in the car," Zhuang Xinyan commanded.
Then Zhuang Xinyan took Chu Feng to one of the Zhuang Family’s malls, and before long, soone delivered two well-fitting handmade suits.
"I’ve really never seen a man stingier than you," Zhuang Xinyan comnted.
Chu Feng replied, "I’m really not being stingy; I genuinely don’t have another one. Or I could just give you money."
"..."
Soon, Chu Feng changed into the suit prepared for him by Zhuang Xinyan, which slightly brightened her expression.
"Pretty handso, huh? I told you so," Chu Feng said proudly.
Zhuang Xinyan replied, "Now I can lose a bit less face."
"What do you an by that?" Chu Feng retorted angrily upon hearing this.
Zhuang Xinyan said, "Nothing, get in the car; we’re going to be late."
"You must apologize to !" Chu Feng stated stubbornly.
Zhuang Xinyan responded, "Okay. With you like this, I do gain a bit of face."
After hearing this, Chu Feng got in the car, satisfied.
But after settling in, Chu Feng realized that Zhuang Xinyan’s words were hardly an apology.
Gaining a bit of face still ant mostly losing face, didn’t it?
Chu Feng was angry but also helpless, having already boarded the ’pirate ship’.
"The Bai Family’s people have arrived," Zhuang Xinyan stated.
Hearing Zhuang Xinyan’s words, Chu Feng’s expression beca much more serious.
A sneer curled on the corner of Chu Feng’s mouth as he said, "They’re so early. Are they here to see how I’m going to lose or to propose to you?"
Zhuang Xinyan answered, "Probably both. Today’s dinner is hosted by the Wu Family."
Chu Feng asked, "Has the Wu Family chosen a new spokesperson?"
"Yes. The Wu Family’s new spokesperson is Wu Di’s older brother. This is quite unexpected for us," Zhuang Xinyan admitted.
"What’s the issue?" Chu Feng inquired.
"Among the Wu Family’s third generation, the most capable might be debatable to outsiders, but if you ask who’s the most spoiled and who can run through money the fastest, it’d definitely be Wu Di’s big brother. An Wenxing and I had many theories but never imagined it would be him becoming the Bai Family’s new spokesperson. Yet, unexpectedly, it turned out to be him, and he secured his position right away," Zhuang Xinyan explained.
"Why is that?" Chu Feng asked.
Zhuang Xinyan elaborated, "Because he and Bai Jiarui have a great relationship. The two are often seen together and are known as the two biggest spendthrifts in Songjiang. The Wu Family hesitated about whom to appoint as the new spokesperson. What nobody expected was for Bai Jiarui to speak up in his support. Everyone thought they were just drinking buddies, but Bai Jiarui actually regarded him so highly."
Chu Feng remarked, "In that case, he has deceived everyone. He’s not just a spendthrift; he’s a shrewd one at that."
"Indeed. We all underestimated him. From the mont he beca the spokesperson, although it’s barely been half a month, he’s already garnered the support of half of the Wu Family. This kind of manipulation is admirable. I’m even starting to regret that we took down Wu Di," Zhuang Xinyan said.
