"Right, Big Brother, I've always felt I should be a scientist, but I couldn't bear to part with my identity in the 'Funeral Love Family' and the glory of being a 'Spirit Youth.' Otherwise, I would have become a scientist long ago!"
Praise from Ling Feng had already sent Lin Shuainan's head spinning.
The person leading the way clenched his fists tightly. As for the eccentric behind him, he decided to treat everything the man said as if it were the wind!
Ling Feng was already accustomed to Lin Shuainan's incessant chatter and paid him no mind.
Soon, they arrived before a building that looked incredibly luxurious!
The revolving door swept them inside, and then the floor began to move on its own.
Clearly, there was a conveyor belt underneath.
Without needing to move a muscle, they were ushered into an elevator.
The elevator was located in the very center of the hall.
There was no visible mechanical operation from above or below, yet a transparent elevator shot upwards!
Lin Shuainan was utterly dumbfounded the entire way!
"Big Brother, this is alien technology!"
Ling Feng shot him a look and said coldly, "Magnetic levitation!"
Lin Shuainan's eyes widened again. "Oh, Big Brother, you're the real expert!"
The guide, finally at his wit's end, said to the two of them, "The main hall is ahead. Please proceed inside yourselves!"
With that, he quickly ducked into an elevator and vanished before them in an instant.
This was Ling Feng's first time visiting the Lu family's residence, and he found the technological marvels within to be somewhat novel.
These things were clearly quite costly.
It seemed the Lu family had always been very wealthy and had maintained a relatively low profile within the capital.
This would explain why Lu Qingyi had possessed such advanced equipment on the battlefield back then. When Lu Qingyi's strength wasn't as formidable, that advanced gear had saved her life numerous times!
"You're here!"
The banquet hall door opened automatically, and Lu Qingyi walked out.
The banquet hall was already filled with people, and the dishes on the tables were beginning to rotate.
Servants were even pouring wine into the glasses!
Most people would be at a loss as to how to sit down and start eating and drinking in such a setting!
Ling Feng, however, showed no change in his expression. From the moment he arrived, he knew that the banquet hall doors offered a clear view of the outside.
At that time, he had already been targeted by more than a dozen pairs of eyes!
There were indeed quite a lot of people at today's family banquet.
But Ling Feng's gaze settled on an elder at the head of the table.
Lu Qingfeng!
Sixty years ago, he was the president of the Kyoto Martial Arts Association. This man was already over a hundred years old, yet he appeared to be only in his early sixties. His short hair was neat and tidy, his build was robust, and his musculature looked remarkably youthful.
The vast Lu family was supported by this elder.
"Shuainan."
Ling Feng gestured slightly to Lin Shuainan behind him.
Lin Shuainan was indeed somewhat stunned by the scene before him. Hearing Ling Feng's call, he quickly followed.
The group soon arrived at the table.
However, there was only one seat available in the front row, which Lu Qingyi had left vacant when she stepped out earlier!
The younger generation at the table looked at Ling Feng with disdain.
Some were watching with amusement.
It was clear they had done this deliberately, wanting to see Ling Feng embarrassed.
But Lu Qingyi's beautiful eyes widened slightly at the sight.
She strode forward and pulled a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth forward. "Little brother, go sit over there!"
"Hey, Sister, what are you doing! Why should he get to sit in my spot when it's his first time here?"
This younger brother was clearly not convinced.
"Xiao Liu, don't be silly. Your sister's friend is our honored guest in the Lu family!"
Lu Qingfeng, seated at the head, spoke up at this moment.
He then let out a hearty laugh towards Ling Feng. "Heh heh, Ling Feng, is it? Please, sit down. Don't be a stranger; make yourself at home!"
At the table, many of the younger generation looked astonished!
Clearly, they couldn't understand why the elder was being so polite to Ling Feng!
What made this kid so special?
Their elder sister was renowned throughout the capital. Many wealthy young men of status found it difficult to even get a cup of tea at their house.
Let alone attend a family banquet like this!
After all, for this kid to be able to attend the family banquet now basically meant he was Lu Qingyi's boyfriend.
To so easily bestow this favor upon an unknown kid.
Naturally, they were all very displeased!
"Elder Lu is too kind."
Ling Feng cupped his hands slightly and then took his seat.
"Oh, there's really durian!"
Lin Shuainan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, then dashed to the front seat and plopped down.
He was practically sitting next to Lu Qingfeng at the head of the table.
Such an action left Lu Qingfeng momentarily taken aback.
But then someone coldly snorted, "Hmph, Big Sister, is this the guest you brought? Doesn't he even know basic etiquette?"
Lu Qingyi's face flushed crimson. This situation was somewhat embarrassing.
"It's fine, heh heh. Young man, what should I call you?"
Lu Qingfeng suddenly asked Lin Shuainan with a smile.
Lin Shuainan was about to reach for the durian when he suddenly heard someone say that the person Ling Feng brought lacked manners. He knew he had made a mistake.
However, seeing that Lu Qingfeng's attitude towards him was relatively good,
Lin Shuainan grinned. "My name is Lin Shuainan. Elder Lu, hello! Your name is like thunder in my ears!"
"Oh? You're surnamed Lin. Which branch of the Lin family are you from?" Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly and continued to inquire.
There was also a Lin family in the capital, and their family fortune was said to be even more substantial than the Lu family's.
The people around them also restrained themselves slightly, wondering when the Lin family had produced such an unreliable young master!
"Branch? Oh, I'm from the direct line, the sole son of the direct line!" Lin Shuainan replied casually, his demeanor carefree.
"Sole son of the direct line? How is that possible? The Lin family's direct line has two male heirs. You're impersonating!" Someone immediately jumped up.
Lin Shuainan was taken aback by the sudden shout.
"What's going on? My dad only has me as a son. When did a second one pop up? Does my dad have an illegitimate child? How do you know about this? Do you have proof?"
Lin Shuainan immediately retorted excitedly.
Having a brother suddenly appear was something Lin Shuainan cared about greatly!
But in everyone's eyes, Lin Shuainan was simply the king of eccentrics.
Couldn't this person tell that they were calling him a fake and talking nonsense?
Lu Qingyi's face grew even more awkward!
What kind of person had Ling Feng brought!
It was one thing to ask for durian, but now, just after sitting down, he was already spouting nonsense!
At this moment, Ling Feng also spoke!
"Elder Lu, you've misunderstood. Shuainan's Lin family is not from the capital, but from the Lin family of Nanyun."
