940: 939: Playing with fire can burn yourself 940: 939: Playing with fire can burn yourself After receiving the invitation, the five elders led by Elder Le exchanged glances.
Master Lin was definitely hosting a banquet with ulterior motives.
The Main Building likely already knew about their current situation, but what difference did it make?
Their lives were no longer in their own hands.
The only way to live longer now was to devote themselves wholeheartedly to working for Tang Feng.
That evening, when Yiniang ca to urge them, Elder Le finally knocked on Tang Feng’s door.
“What is it?”
“Young Master, Master Lin invites you to a banquet tonight.”
“Wait a mont.” Tang Feng also wanted to see what that woman was planning.
When Yiniang saw Tang Feng nod with a smile, she led the way at the front, bringing the group to the Main Hall.
This was Lin Shaoyu’s designated venue for hosting distinguished guests.
The so-called distinguished guests included Sect elders, City Lords, mbers of her family’s upper ranks, and of course, representatives from the Main Building.
Even without Tang Feng, Elder Le and his group would qualify for such a dinner.
At the host’s seat, Lin Shaoyu was already seated.
When she saw Tang Feng, she rose and warmly greeted him, offering him a seat right beside her.
As for the elders and several other prominent figures, they were relegated to seats below.
When Tang Feng sat down, he noticed a young, beautiful woman beside him.
Her fair skin and captivating eyes were indeed stunning.
Yet even so, he rely smiled and nodded politely, showing no curiosity or inappropriate actions.
This left Lin Shaoyu sowhat frustrated.
Could this kid only care about money?
“Young Master Tang, I humbly offer so wine and dishes to honor your presence.
Thank you for gracing us with your company.” Her voice was lodious and soothing.
Did Tang Feng need her “honor”?
There was sothing hidden in those words.
Was it because he dared to oppose that dead man?
Most people weren’t aware of the Building Owner’s terrifying nature, but Lin Shaoyu knew.
That person, when angered, could turn the world upside down—a description she considered utterly fitting.
Yet, the young man before her seed casual and composed.
It showed he didn’t care; there wasn’t a trace of panic in his eyes.
He was soone destined for greatness.
“Young Master Tang, Elder Le, welco.” Lin Shaoyu raised a cup in a toast.
“Thank you,” Elder Le and the others replied politely.
After all, they bore no grudge toward her.
Tang Feng was equally courteous.
Throughout the al, he engaged in small talk, avoiding conversations about the Main Building.
Lin Shaoyu didn’t raise the topic either.
She was feeling a bit vexed at the mont.
She had tried subtle hints and indirect approaches but hadn’t been able to extract anything useful.
Here he sat, enjoying fine wine, delicious food, and accompanied by a beautiful woman, yet he remained unmoved.
This man’s self-control was incredible.
Lin Shaoyu had no better strategy for dealing with soone unfazed by seduction.
It seed she’d have to resort to her trump card.
She began repeatedly toasting Tang Feng.
She wanted to get him drunk.
But gradually, she realized her own head was starting to spin.
She had probably reached her limit.
And Tang Feng remained perfectly sober.
“You leave first.
I have sothing to discuss with Young Master Tang.” Lin Shaoyu dismissed the woman sitting beside Tang Feng.
Tang Feng also told Elder Le and the others to leave.
He was curious to see what this woman intended to do.
“Master Lin, should we continue drinking?” Tang Feng smiled.
“Of course, let’s keep drinking.
Bring out more hot dishes!” Lin Shaoyu called out, and shortly after, another dozen dishes arrived, each different from the last.
“Cheers.”
Tang Feng noticed that Lin Shaoyu was starting to look tipsy, though she stubbornly held her composure.
He couldn’t resist teasing her.
“Master Lin, aren’t you afraid of rumors getting out when you drink alone with like this?”
“What’s there to fear?
Do I need anyone’s approval to share a drink with soone?”
“Your Building Owner might not be pleased if he hears about this.”
“Oh, so you know about him?
That dead man wouldn’t care.
Young Master Tang, I’m curious—why would Elder Le and the others obey your orders?”
“You’re curious?”
“Just pure curiosity.
If you don’t want to say, that’s fine.”
“It’s actually quite simple.
They’re all my people.
I rely had them stay by your man’s side as part of the plan.” Tang Feng chuckled.
“What!
That’s impossible.” Lin Shaoyu was stunned.
The experts by that dead man’s side turned out to be soone else’s subordinates.
Danger had been close all along; it was truly frightening.
Tang Feng noticed Lin Shaoyu’s shocked expression and felt amused.
“Master Lin, if your questions are about this, there’s no need for such secrecy.
I think we should end it here.
Thank you for your hospitality tonight.” Tang Feng stood up.
“Wait, I still have matters to discuss with you.” Lin Shaoyu rose as well, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, she suddenly stumbled forward, falling into Tang Feng’s arms.
“Master Lin, be careful.” Tang Feng laughed inwardly.
Wasn’t this the classic tactic won always used?
“Thank you.
I’m fine, just a little dizzy.
Maybe I drank too much.” She looked up at Tang Feng, their eyes eting, and a strange ripple of light shot from Lin Shaoyu’s gaze into Tang Feng’s.
The next mont, Tang Feng’s posture froze, his eyes beca bewildered.
Lin Shaoyu’s lips curled into a faint smile.
“This boy has incredible awareness, but he still can’t escape my thods.”
“Help sit down.” She decided to test whether Tang Feng was truly under her control.
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Tang Feng obediently helped her sit.
She made him sit beside her and began asking questions about Elder Le and his group.
Tang Feng answered her one by one.
Lin Shaoyu was very satisfied.
It turned out this boy had lied earlier.
He had injured the Third Young Master and even controlled Elder Le’s five-man team.
His skills were impressive; his cultivation must be extraordinary.
“Are you hiding your cultivation level?”
“No.”
“You’re truly only at the Emperor Realm?” Lin Shaoyu found it hard to believe.
“Indeed.”
“Then how did you control Elder Le and the others?”
“Using Divine Skills, of course.”
“What kind of Divine Skills?” Lin Shaoyu asked.
She looked at Tang Feng expectantly, hoping to obtain a powerful skill.
To control a Divine Emperor Realm expert, the skill must be extraordinary.
“Spirit Control Technique.”
Tang Feng didn’t hide the truth.
“Give the incantation.”
Tang Feng recited a slew of verses, but Lin Shaoyu sensed sothing was off—it didn’t seem coherent.
“These incantations are correct?”
“They’re correct.”
“Then demonstrate the technique for .”
“Sure.”
Tang Feng reached out and placed a hand on Lin Shaoyu’s head.
“What are you doing?
Remove your hand!” Lin Shaoyu was furious.
Yet in the next mont, a sinister smile flashed across Tang Feng’s face.
“I’m demonstrating the technique for you.”
“You…
you’re not controlled.” Lin Shaoyu panicked.
She was about to retaliate, but it was too late.
Her Divine Soul suddenly throbbed in pain as Tang Feng left an imprint upon it.
“What did you do to ?” she cried.
“I perford the Spirit Control Technique, as you wished.
The technique was successful, and from now on, you’re mine.” Tang Feng grinned.
“No.
Impossible.
You… you can’t do this.” Seeing Tang Feng pulling her tightly into his arms, pressing her body close to his, Lin Shaoyu was truly terrified.
“Don’t move.
Why pretend?
You’re not so innocent maiden.
After all the wine you’ve had, shouldn’t the fire be put out?” Tang Feng sneered.
“I… I am a maiden.
Don’t you dare—” Before Lin Shaoyu could finish, she was kissed.
Her mind roared and then went blank.
The hall filled with shifting sounds, low murmurs, until everything finally subsided.
Tang Feng had only thought of playing around out of a hint of vengeful impulse, but he didn’t expect to go too far this ti.
This Lin Shaoyu turned out to truly be a maiden, sothing completely unforeseen by him.
