Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131 Simplicity
Seeing Ling Feng silent, Tang Xiaoqian asked in confusion, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing, it’s just that those two seem odd! Especially that woman!" Ling Feng replied.
"Do you an they’re the ones who want to harm her?" Tang Xiaoqian asked in astonishnt.
"Probably!" Ling Feng nodded.
Tang Xiaoqian imdiately beca anxious. "Then why didn’t you say sothing earlier? Lingling won’t be in danger, right?"
"Relax, she won’t!"
Ling Feng smiled. Being so close to the school, the conversations of those three girls were all within his attention. Even if those two planned to ambush Lingling when no one was in the dormitory, Ling Feng could use the Mind Soul Art to render them incapable of action.
Confident in his abilities, he wasn’t worried that those two would do anything harmful to Mu Lingling.
Instead, Ling Feng found himself curious about what that woman wanted to say—what exactly was she scheming!
Assuring Tang Xiaoqian everything was fine and back in their room afterward, Ling Feng split his focus—eating with her while monitoring Mu Lingling’s situation.
It turned out that Li Yan and Tian Hao didn’t stay for long. They asked a few questions and then made the excuse of having urgent matters at ho before leaving the school.
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng chuckled and said to Tang Xiaoqian, "Xiaoqian, Teacher Mu will be back soon. You stay ho; I’ll be right back!"
"Oh, okay!"
At this point, Tang Xiaoqian was almost entirely obedient to Ling Feng, nodding without asking further questions.
After leaving the house, Ling Feng used his Divine Sense to see the pair getting into a car. As they drove away, Li Yan in the passenger seat gritted her teeth and said, "Who would’ve thought there’d be soone formidable even in this desolate place! They saw through that stud earring!"
"So what do we do now? Mu Lingling doesn’t seem to have realized the truth yet. What’s that Ling guy’s deal?" Tian Hao asked.
"I think he’s probably trying to use this to threaten , extorting so money from my family or sothing!" Li Yan speculated.
Tian Hao snorted mockingly. "That guy’s courting disaster; isn’t he just digging his own grave?"
"He doesn’t know my family’s background. Him walking into death is entirely possible!"
Li Yan muttered a sentence and then added, "No matter what, we can’t let that Ling guy off. Mu Lingling neither!"
"What are you planning to do?" Tian Hao asked.
Li Yan sneered. "Of course, I have my ways. I’ll make a call when we get to town!"
"So we’re staying in Hongqi Town tonight?" Tian Hao’s eyes glistened as he asked with a smile.
"Yes, we’re staying here!" Li Yan responded distractedly, gritting her teeth.
Ling Feng watched until their car disappeared into the distance. Seeing no point in following further, he turned back toward Tang Xiaoqian’s house.
On the way, he thought to himself, looks like this night’s going to be eventful!
Considering how Li Yan would certainly call for assistance, Ling Feng knew he couldn’t just sit back idly.
This wasn’t just about Mu Lingling anymore; it directly involved him!
Thinking about this, Ling Feng felt a little exasperated. He thought to himself, is helping people heal also a hassle?
Back at Tang Xiaoqian’s house, Mu Lingling had indeed returned.
Ling Feng knew that Li Yan had asked her about the treatnt thod and even pretended to flirt by brushing her hair.
But Mu Lingling replied smoothly, saying the cure ca from using Ling Feng’s ointnt and that she had accidentally lost the stud earring, perfectly covering her tracks.
However, unfortunately, Li Yan seed to be naturally suspicious and had already pieced together the critical point—that Ling Feng had a hand in it.
Sitting down, Ling Feng didn’t ntion the earlier situation and simply continued eating.
Tang Xiaoqian, on the other hand, was curious and asked Mu Lingling about her relationship with the pair.
According to Mu Lingling, they had been classmates since their freshman year, always getting along well. They helped each other in studies, looked after each other in life, and were as close as sisters.
As for Tian Hao and Li Yan’s relationship, they weren’t a couple but just close friends.
Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but inwardly sneer. This girl Mu Lingling was just too naive!
Previously, he hadn’t thought much about it, but when Tian Hao was driving and Li Yan ntioned staying in town tonight, the fleeting glance in Tian Hao’s eyes had already revealed he wasn’t a good person!
Though Ling Feng wasn’t sure what tricks this guy would try, it was evident he didn’t have any good intentions toward Li Yan!
Thinking about all this, Ling Feng looked at the cheerful Li Yan and thought to himself, she sure has had good luck not running into trouble so far!
Maybe fate always looks out for those who are pure-hearted?
Of course, only if people like Li Yan don’t appear!
After lunch, Ling Feng followed Tang Xiaoqian to the storage room where they found several dusty jars of rice wine in the corner.
"I haven’t cleaned up in ages, so it’s a bit dirty," Tang Xiaoqian said awkwardly.
"It’s fine! The dust adds so age and charm to it. No need to clean it; just leave it as is!" Ling Feng smiled.
Tang Xiaoqian was stunned. "Huh? But what if the dirt gets on your clothes when you take it with you!"
"Don’t worry about it!"
Ling Feng smiled as he crouched down and reached out to touch the jars.
Suddenly, Tang Xiaoqian watched with wide eyes as one jar after another vanished, like a movie special effect!
Standing up, he saw her stunned expression. Ling Feng laughed and said, "What do you think? Amazing magic, right?"
"...."
Tang Xiaoqian was speechless. She walked around Ling Feng twice and then looked up, "Do you think I’m an idiot? This isn’t magic!"
"Haha, you’re right, it’s not magic. It’s sorcery!" Ling Feng laughed.
"How are you so incredible?"
Tang Xiaoqian didn’t press further, her eyes filled with awe.
Since Mu Lingling was around, Ling Feng didn’t want to act overly intimate, so he patted her shoulder. "You’ll find out later that I truly am remarkable!"
With many tasks still to handle, Ling Feng soon left Tang Family Village and used Teleportation to return ho.
Without stopping, he made his way to the Chu Family manor. Entering the study, his delighted expression made Wang Laogen couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the deal? Did you strike it rich or find sothing valuable?"
"Both, actually!"
Ling Feng chuckled and flipped his hand, revealing a jar of rice wine.
Seeing this, Wang Laogen and Chu Nan imdiately stood up!
These two were seasoned connoisseurs; one look at the jar and they could tell it was wine—and aged wine at that!
"Kid, where’d you dig this up?" Chu Nan asked.
"Don’t rush. Try it first!"
Ling Feng smiled, broke the seal, opened the inner lid, and poured them each a glass.
The mont they saw the wine’s color, their excitent grew, and they quickly took a sip.
"Fantastic wine!"
Chu Nan’s eyes sparkled, and he imdiately put down his glass and asked, "Quick, tell ! Where did you find this, and how much more do you have?"
"Never mind how much there is—I want it all!" Wang Laogen declared.
Anticipating this reaction, Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Good wine, right? Unfortunately, there are only a few jars. If you want more, you’ll have to wait until I establish my winery!"
