Chapter 72: Four-Star Powerhouse, the Lin Family Should Be Disciplined
Qin Feng followed the sound and looked over.
At that mont, he was also stunned.
The person who had arrived was an elderly man with a muscular fra, exuding a commanding presence. His eyes were sharp, and his cultivation had reached the late-stage four-star level.
With such strength, Qin Feng was no match for him.
Behind the old man, there were two beautiful won. One was Liu Yan, and the other, with fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs…
Oh no! It’s her!
As soon as Qin Feng saw her, a strange expression appeared on his face.
The woman also looked taken aback when she saw Qin Feng, her face turning red with embarrassnt.
She didn’t dare to et Qin Feng’s gaze.
This woman was none other than Shangguan Zixi, the daughter of City Lord Shangguan Yunyang.
And at that mont, everyone’s attention was on the elderly man with a muscular fra.
This man was Wei Qing, the Vice-City Lord of Yunyang City.
Upon seeing Wei Qing, Lin Fuhai imdiately beca flustered and hurriedly went forward to greet him.
“Lin Fuhai greets Vice-City Lord!”
Wei Qing gave a slight nod and then looked at Qin Feng, a warm smile appearing on his face.
He had seen everything that had happened earlier.
This young man is truly exceptional! So talented!
He is even stronger than the City Lord!
This made his heart burn with excitent.
For Yunyang Base City to produce such a genius was an imnse blessing.
If properly cultivated, Yunyang City would gain a top-tier expert, and their position in the alliance would rise significantly.
In this world, only top-tier experts serve as the true foundation and support of a base city.
Things like technology, genetic warriors, and lower-tier elentalist are just supplentary.
One casual seven-star fire elentalist could easily scorch mountains and boil seas, as if they were immortals.
It is because of these powerful experts that humans have survived the threat of the starry beast race until now.
Wei Qing beca more and more excited as he thought about it.
As the Vice-City Lord, he was constantly concerned about the developnt of Yunyang City.
A talent like Qin Feng must be protected at all costs.
He also felt fortunate that he had agreed to Liu Yan’s request to co see Qin Feng. Now, he had the chance to witness such an extraordinary genius.
It turned out that Liu Yan knew Qin Feng was a fire elentalist, and since Wei Qing was also a fire elentalist, she wanted to ask him to give Qin Feng so guidance.
For a first-star elentalist, getting advice from a four-star elentalist was incredibly rare.
Wei Qing hadn’t given it much thought and agreed right away.
But now that he had seen Qin Feng, he suddenly realized he was not capable of giving advice.
The way this kid applied and controlled fire elental power was incredibly advanced.
This only proved how extraordinary his talent was.
The higher the talent, the faster the cultivation and the stronger the control over elental power.
So, elentarists with high talent usually surpassed others at the sa level.
“You’re quite impressive, young man!” Wei Qing smiled gently.
His expression was full of kindness.
This left everyone around them wide-eyed in shock.
Even Elder Cheng couldn’t believe it.
No way?
Vice-City Lord Wei Qing was always known for his stern and impartial deanor, cold to everyone. To see him act so kindly was truly rare.
“Qin Feng, this is Vice-City Lord Wei Qing!” Liu Yan smiled, reminding him.
Qin Feng quickly bowed. “Qin Feng greets Vice-City Lord Wei Qing!”
“Very good!” Wei Qing nodded repeatedly.
The more he looked at this young man, the more he liked him.
He then looked at Chuchu, his eyes lighting up again.
A young girl like her actually holds a second-tier noble title. She’s another good seed!
It seems she’s Qin Feng’s sister.
This brother and sister pair are truly remarkable!
Wei Qing valued Qin Feng more and more in his heart.
“Cheng Zhong!”
“Subordinate is here!” Elder Cheng hurriedly walked over to Wei Qing’s side.
“What exactly happened earlier?” Wei Qing asked, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression turning cold.
“This…” Elder Cheng glanced uneasily at Lin Fuhai.
Wei Qing frowned deeply. “I asked you to speak! Just say it!”
“Yes! Yes!” Elder Cheng nervously rubbed his hands. “Here’s the situation: We were in the process of promoting Qin Feng’s noble rank when Count Fuhai and the others…”
Elder Cheng quickly explained what had transpired.
After listening, Wei Qing was furious.
He turned his gaze to the now-ignored Lin family mbers.
“Hmph! Who gave your Lin family the authority to casually arrest an elentalist? Who gave you the right to attack governnt officials? Speak! Who is responsible for this?”
Wei Qing was truly enraged.
The Lin family’s actions were too overbearing. They were completely disregarding the governnt and the law.
Not only that, the Lin family’s actions would cause resentnt and drive talented people like Qin Feng away from Yunyang City.
For soone like Qin Feng, he would be highly welcod in any other base city.
Is the Lin family trying to ruin Yunyang City?
Wei Qing would never allow such things to happen.
“Lin Fuhai, today you must give this City Lord an explanation!” Wei Qing’s face had turned a shade of blue with rage.
“Vice-City Lord, I…” Lin Fuhai was covered in sweat.
He had originally thought capturing a first-star elentalist would be easy, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
Now, it was a disaster!
The Vice-City Lord was furious.
He certainly couldn’t say that it was the Family Head’s instructions!
Of course, he also couldn’t reveal the truth.
The matter involving Lin Xuyang was not sothing that could be made public.
“What? Can’t speak?” Wei Qing’s eyes flashed with a wise gleam. “Could it be that the Lin family has so unspeakable secret?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Lin family mbers changed slightly…
Lin Fuhai was starting to panic.
“Vice-City Lord, it’s like this. My storage ring was stolen by this Qin Feng, and I was afraid he wouldn’t admit it, so I brought so family mbers over, intending to take him back and interrogate him…” Lin Xue hurriedly stepped forward, half-truthfully concocting an excuse.
“He stole your storage ring? Do you have any evidence?” Wei Qing obviously didn’t believe her.
“Uh…” Lin Xue was at a loss for words.
She had no evidence.
Wei Qing frowned. “No evidence? Then do you have any witnesses…?”
“Uh… I…” Lin Xue’s forehead was now covered in sweat.
Of course, she had no witnesses.
When she fought with Qin Feng, she didn’t realize the storage ring was missing, so who could testify?
Should she find Wang Jianlai?
But Wang Jianlai would certainly not support her claim.
Seeing Lin Xue hesitating, Wei Qing sneered, “You have no evidence, no witnesses, and yet you’re accusing Qin Feng of stealing your ring? This is slander against his reputation…”
Lin Xue panicked, “My Lord, after I fought with Qin Feng, my ring disappeared, and then…”
Liu Yan couldn’t stand it any longer and directly interrupted, “What a strange excuse! You fought with soone, lost, and then accused them of stealing your things? How can you co up with such a ridiculous story?”
“I didn’t… I…” Lin Xue found it hard to defend herself.
“All right, Xiao Xue, stop talking,” Lin Fuhai sighed.
Lin Xue lowered her head in silence, feeling incredibly wronged in her heart.
She was 90% sure that Qin Feng had stolen her ring, but she had no evidence.
However, it was better to let it go.
If they kept pushing this, the truth would co out, and that would be detrintal to the Lin family.
Wei Qing shook his head slightly, “This is nonsense! You have no evidence, and you’re arresting people at will. Is this how the Lin family operates? So reckless!”
Liu Yan’s eyes glead, and she imdiately interjected, “Wei Qing uncle, the actions of the Lin family have already lost the people’s trust, and it’s ti to properly manage them!”
Wei Qing nodded slightly, “Indeed! Lin Fuhai, co with ! Take to et Lin Jianhao. I want to have a good talk with him! I want to know how he, the family head of the Lin family, is running things!”
“Ah…”
Lin Fuhai’s face turned sowhat ugly.
Lin Xue also showed a bitter smile.
This ti, not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but they had also caused trouble for the family head.
There was no doubt that they would be reprimanded afterward.
“Cheng Zhong, properly entertain our young friend Qin Feng and complete his noble rank promotion as quickly as possible. Don’t neglect him!” Wei Qing specifically instructed Elder Cheng.
Then, he turned to Qin Feng, offering him a smile, signaling for him to follow.
“Let’s go!” Wei Qing urged.
Lin Fuhai and the others, helpless, had no choice but to follow Wei Qing and leave.
