Chapter 87 - 4 Nalan Lingjun
Chapter 87: Chapter 4 Nalan Lingjun
“Who exactly are you?” the young master asked Lin Feng, his face full of terror.
“Someone you can’t afford to provoke,” Lin Feng replied coldly, a sneer on his face. “Remember, don’t act too arrogantly, because there will always be someone to take care of you. Now scram.”
“Let’s go!”
The young master, daring not to stay any longer, scrambled to his feet, mounted his horse, and fled clumsily with a group of subordinates.
“Young master, are we just going to endure this?” a bodyguard said unwillingly.
“Of course not. My cousin is resting at the mayor’s house. Come, follow me to see my cousin, and this kid will surely have no place to die later.”
The group hurried away.
“Young man, the one who got beaten just now is Li Ming, a relative by marriage to the Nalan Family. The Nalan Family’s influence in the area of Jialan City is deep-rooted. Offending these people is not a good thing; you’d better leave quickly.”
“Yes, young man, don’t let yourself be caught by the people of the Nalan Family, or it could be troublesome.”
Some people came forward to tell Lin Feng about this.
Lin Feng was quite touched—good people still existed in the world.
“I’ll be careful,” Lin Feng said, bowing with his fists clutched, then walked forward.
The Nalan Family itself possessed extraordinary strength, and with the support of “Jialan City Nalan Family” behind them, they acted unscrupulously. No one dared to provoke the Nalan Family, and many were furious but dared not speak out.

Even the Lin, Wang, and Su families tried their best to avoid conflict with the Nalan Family.
“Are you scared?” Fire Kirin muttered.
“What would I be afraid of?” Lin Feng scoffed.
“That’s right. Afraid of a bird’s egg. A small family doesn’t even catch my eye,” Fire Kirin said with disdain.
Lin Feng said, “That was before. Now, they could skin you alive and stew you for dinner.”
“Damn it, you still have the cheek to say that. It’s all because of your cursed bead. Sooner or later, I’ll destroy your bead,” Fire Kirin exclaimed.
Lin Feng ordered a table full of delicacies at the Sky Wind Building, enjoying fine wine and meat.
Fire Kirin devoured the food as if it had never eaten before.
“Since it’s up, don’t stop!”
Fire Kirin muttered quietly.
“Waiter, keep the dishes coming…”
Lin Feng called over the waiter and instructed him to keep serving more dishes.
The waiter looked curiously at this pair, wondering to himself if this master was being too generous to his pet.
However, the waiter naturally enjoyed the sight, as it made the tavern livelier.
Many patrons pointed and talked about the pair of Lin Feng and Fire Kirin.
“Roar…” Fire Kirin, seemingly displeased with the pointing and whispering, let out a low roar and glared coldly at those around it.
Although Fire Kirin had lost its Divine Power and its cultivation had declined, it was still a Divine Beast with a fearsome nature. A roar made many chill with fear, silencing the gossipers as they returned to their meals.
“What is your stomach made of?” Lin Feng finally muttered after Fire Kirin devoured the tenth table of delicious food.
“I possess a universe within my stomach, capable of swallowing even stars,” Fire Kirin retorted.
“Are you planning to eat until the end of time, until the seas dry and the stones crumble? Let’s go, let’s go,” Lin Feng said, standing up to pay the bill.
“Let’s stop here for today, we’ll feast again once we’re at your home,” Fire Kirin said.
Lin Feng almost fell over.
He could already envision the kitchen of the Lin Family fallen into chaos.
After paying, Lin Feng and Fire Kirin left the tavern. Lin Feng planned to find an inn to rest for the night and continue on the road tomorrow. In about three days, they should reach Azure Cloud Town.
As soon as they had walked not too far, dozens of fierce-looking men approached from a distance.
“Over there…”
The leader was Li Ming, who had been previously disciplined by Lin Feng; he spotted Lin Feng and pointed in this direction.
The group quickly converged and surrounded Lin Feng.
The crowd parted, and a young nobleman stepped forward.
“Cousin, it was this kid who hit me. I even mentioned the Nalan Family, but he still struck, showing no regard for our Nalan Family at all.”
Li Ming said through gritted teeth.
The young nobleman, extremely handsome and dressed in white, had the appearance of a worldly, charming young master.
“Lin Feng, it was you…”
Upon seeing Lin Feng, the nobleman in white was clearly taken aback.
“That’s right, it was me,” Lin Feng nodded.
Lin Feng knew this person, Nalan Lingjun, the third son of the Nalan Family Clan Leader, same age as Lin Feng, and also a genius known at the same time as Lin Feng. While Lin Feng had joined Jialan Academy, Nalan Lingjun had entered one of the “Nine Great Academies,” the Heavenly Thunder Academy.
Now, they had not seen each other for three years.
Their relationship could naturally not be considered good; the Nalan Family was ambitious, wanting to subsume the Lin, Wang, and Su families, so the relationship between the Lin Family and the Nalan Family was superficially cordial but inwardly hostile, and naturally, the younger generation was no different.
“You hit my cousin,” Nalan Lingjun said indifferently towards Lin Feng.
“This guy was asking for it, so I just had to step in and teach a lesson on behalf of your Nalan Family,” Lin Feng shrugged and said, “If he continues to misuse the Nalan Family’s name to commit misdeeds, the reputation of the Nalan Family would be completely ruined by such actions. Of course, you don’t need to thank me; it was just a casual assist.”
Nalan Lingjun’s face twitched fiercely, and then his expression turned exceedingly grim as he coldly looked at Lin Feng, “Does my Nalan Family need you to discipline our people? Lin Feng, considering our past acquaintance, I won’t make things difficult for you. How you hit Li Ming, I’ll let Li Ming hit you back. You’d better cooperate obediently, and I might let you off; if you’re uncooperative, today’s issue might not be resolved that easily.”
Li Ming’s face twisted into a hideous smile; he clenched a long whip in his hand and lashed it fiercely towards Lin Feng.
“Here it comes…”
Many onlookers exclaimed, and their glances towards Lin Feng were filled with pity.
From everyone’s point of view, Lin Feng was in a weak position compared to Nalan Lingjun with his overwhelming power and number of people.
If a conflict started, it would be too detrimental.
Now, perhaps he could only endure getting whipped to escape this ordeal.
“Kid, I’ll let you taste the whip too.”
Li Ming sneered out loud as he lashed out heavily with the whip.
Nalan Lingjun looked towards Lin Feng with a smirk.
In Nalan Lingjun’s view, Lin Feng would definitely not dare to resist!
Because resisting would involve an even more miserable outcome.
“Snap.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng caught the incoming whip from Li Ming in one hand and snatched it away.
“I spared you once, and you still didn’t learn your lesson. Since that’s the case, you need to be taught a harsh lesson again, so you’ll remember fully that there are some people you cannot afford to offend.”
Snap!
As his words fell, Lin Feng lashed out with the whip.
This fierce lash struck Li Ming’s body.
Li Ming was sent flying by the impact.
Crack.
The sound of bones breaking could be heard; it was unclear how many of Li Ming’s bones were broken by this lash.
Thump!
Li Ming crashed heavily to the ground, screaming in extreme pain.
