"Alright, don't worry! I promise I'll behave and won't cause any trouble!"
Dugu Yan's face was flushed with excitent as she quickly gave her word.
"Boss Lin, what are you two chatting about?"
"So happy all of a sudden."
The Shi brothers and Ye Lingling walked over. The younger Shi Mo spoke with his usual carefree tone.
"Lingling, Lin Feng said he's taking out to have so fun!"
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Lingling's hand with a smug grin.
"What?"
"Boss Lin, how could you not include Shi Mo and in sothing this good?"
The older Shi Mo's eyes lit up instantly with anticipation.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure to serve you on the journey—carrying your bags, pouring your tea, no complaints at all."
"Right, Shi Mo?"
Beside him, the younger Shi Mo was too busy munching on a donut. He mumbled with his mouth full, "Mhm, yes, yes..."
Seeing him like this, Shi Mo gave him a thump on the head. "All you know is eating! Can you be a little more ambitious!?"
"Ow!"
"I get it, Boss Lin! My brother and I definitely won't drag you down!"
Shi Mo winced, pouting in grievance.
"Hahaha!"
Dugu Yan burst out laughing at the scene.
"Yeah, Lin Feng, since you and Sister Yan are going, bring us along too. It'll be safer with more people."
At this, Lin Feng looked at them with a trace of helplessness.
It wasn't that he didn't want to bring everyone, but their soul power levels were too varied.
If they encountered danger, it'd be hard to protect everyone.
Ye Lingling, however, was a healing-type Soul Master with unique capabilities—she could make a difference in critical monts.
What's more, she, Dugu Yan, and Lin Feng could perform a Tri-Spirit Fusion Skill to greatly boost their combat ability.
After so thought, Lin Feng spoke: "Alright, Lingling, you'll co with Yan and ."
"Brother Shi, Shi Mo, you two should stay at the academy for now."
"Huh? Boss Lin, why can't we co along?"
The younger Shi Mo looked shocked. The anticipation on his face quickly turned to disappointnt. His eyes dimd.
"Why? Because your soul power is still too low."
"Lin Feng's just worried you guys might get hurt."
Dugu Yan quickly explained.
"Shi Mo, Yan is right."
Lin Feng stepped forward and patted the younger Shi Mo's shoulder, speaking earnestly.
"Ye Lingling has healing abilities, and she can fuse spirits with us. I'll take her for now."
"When you two get stronger, I'll definitely take you with next ti."
"Sigh, alright then..."
Shi Mo sighed, lowering his head.
He knew Lin Feng ant well.
Even though he was reluctant, he accepted it.
Then, with a pout, he snatched the donut from Shi Mo's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Still eating? Let's go train!"
"We can't be dragging Boss Lin down, got it?"
"I got it... my donut..."
Shi Mo looked pitifully at the food in his brother's mouth.
Soon, the older Shi Mo dragged Shi Mo off toward the training ground outside the classroom.
Dugu Yan watched them leave with so reluctance, but quickly regained her excitent.
"Let's go ask Teacher Qin for leave!"
She eagerly took the lead, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
In the Office.
Qin Ming was buried in a mountain of paperwork, utterly swamped.
Hearing soone enter, he looked up slowly, set his pen down, and raised an eyebrow at the group.
Seeing it was Lin Feng and the others, he teased, "You kids are always together. What's the matter this ti?"
"Teacher Qin, we'd like to ask for leave to go out for a while."
Lin Feng stepped forward calmly and said politely.
"What? All three of you want to take leave together?"
Qin Ming stood up in surprise, his face filled with concern.
Right now, Lin Feng and the others were the core mbers of the team.
If they left, what about the tactical training?
"Yes, Teacher Qin."
"We thought this would be a good chance to go out and gain so real-world experience."
"It'll help us prepare for the upcoming competition."
Ye Lingling stepped forward respectfully.
"...Fine then."
"Go early, co back early."
"Be careful out there."
"Always stay vigilant and return safely. Don't make worry."
After so thought, Qin Ming reluctantly agreed to their request.
After all, they were Heaven Dou Academy's top talents.
He couldn't be too strict with them.
What if they suddenly quit the team like Xue Qinghe had… that'd be a disaster.
"Thank you, Teacher Qin!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling bead with joy.
Outside Heaven Dou Academy's Main Gate.
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying the fresh scent of flowers and grass. It felt freeing and invigorating.
The trio walked along the main road, chatting and laughing all the way.
Suddenly, heated voices up ahead shattered the peace.
Lin Feng and the others imdiately beca alert. A flicker of caution crossed their eyes.
They quickened their pace and headed toward the source of the commotion.
Soon, they arrived at a general store called "Haishen's Sundries."
Inside the shop, Yu Kuang was locked in a standoff with a brawny man. The store owner stood off to the side, clearly annoyed.
The large man was tall and muscular, radiating an intense pressure.
His face was filled with fury, and his wide eyes were intimidating.
Seeing the situation, Lin Feng quickly stepped forward and asked, "Yu Kuang, what happened?"
"Hm? Young Master Lin?"
"You and the two young ladies are out shopping too?"
Yu Kuang's eyes lit up at the sight of Lin Feng.
"I saw this whale jelly while browsing today."
"I wanted to buy it, but this guy—Tai Nuo—insisted on taking it too!"
Yu Kuang said bitterly.
Tai Nuo imdiately retorted, his voice booming: "Who's stealing from who? You're the one trying to snatch what I picked first!"
"Soone has to take responsibility for this ss!"
Then, as Tai Nuo followed Yu Kuang's gaze to Lin Feng—
He suddenly sensed sothing different from Lin Feng's presence, a unique charisma and approachability.
A trace of subconscious fondness flickered in his heart.
But when Lin Feng heard the na "Tai Nuo"?
His heart skipped a beat.
Tai Nuo of the One Strength Clan?
Wasn't he one of those who eventually joined the protagonist group?
Without revealing his thoughts, Lin Feng calmly observed him and quietly activated his system.
System, Trait Insight!
[Na: Tai Nuo]
[Age: 32]
[Innate Soul Power: Rank 6]
[Martial Soul: Mighty Gorilla]
[Soul Power: Rank 48]
[Traits: Brute (White), Mildly Talented (Green), Witness of Destiny (Green)]
[Witness of Destiny (Green)]: You have witnessed the Child of Destiny and gained certain benefits.
The One Strength Clan had allied with the Clear Sky Clan in the original tiline because of them.
Now that the Child of Destiny had changed, how would their fate shift if they t him instead?
Lin Feng's lips curved slightly.
However—
Tai Nuo turned back to Yu Kuang, his eyes steely once more.
"This whale jelly is mine. No one's taking it!"
"It's of vital importance to . Anyone who tries to stop … don't bla for what happens!"
Though he had a brief flash of goodwill—
It was quickly thrown aside.
Compared to that, the whale jelly was far more important.
No one noticed—
Lin Feng had silently withdrawn his smile.
"I saw it first. According to the rules, it's mine! Why should I give it up to you?"
"If you want to take it, you'll have to ask my Martial Soul for permission first!"
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Yu Kuang stepped forward defiantly.
A pair of green wings burst from his back, sharp and majestic.
