1141: Chapter 1139: Wei Feng’s Provocation!
“Senior Brother Lin Bai, hold a moment.”
Just as Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan were about to turn around and leave, a son of a nobleman with an air of nonchalance suddenly called out to Lin Bai from his seat, a trace of disdainful smile in his eyes.
Curiosity piqued, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan both turned to look back.
“This senior brother, may I ask what instructions you have?” Lin Bai asked with a smile, greeting with a clasped fist.
Since these few individuals were friends of Jian Ruohan, Lin Bai did not want to confront them with hostility immediately, especially since he was not a man of whims or mood swings.
Moreover, there wasn’t a significant amount of grievance between Lin Bai and these people.
In a quiet voice, Jian Ruohan said, “This is Senior Brother Wei Feng, one of the Spiritual Children.
He’s been in the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge for about seven or eight years, a longstanding disciple.
During our venture to the Eight-Star Relic, it was largely thanks to Senior Brother Wei Feng’s aid that we were able to secure so much fortune and opportunity.”
Jian Ruohan softly explained to Lin Bai.
Standing up, Wei Feng spoke with a smile, “Junior Brother Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan has not yet left her boudoir.
For a man to casually visit a lady’s private quarters, that would seem improper, would it not?”
“Jian Ruohan is carefree by nature and doesn’t mind such things.
But since you are a good friend of Jian Ruohan, how can you be so disrespectful?
Is the Family of Junior Brother Lin Bai really made up of such uncivilized savages who know no manners?”
Holding a cup of wine, Wei Feng spoke to Lin Bai.
Humming—
When Lin Bai heard these words from Wei Feng, Jian Ruohan distinctly felt a surge of killing intent rise from Lin Bai!
Even Yejian Qiu, who was standing nearby, slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Bai!
Lin Bai’s expression turned ice-cold as he stared at Wei Feng.
The man had spoken with ill-intent, his words laced with injury.
With a neutral tone, Jian Ruohan said, “You misunderstand, Senior Brother Wei Feng.
It was I who invited Brother Lin over.
Furthermore, I trust Brother Lin’s character completely.
Even if I were to invite him to stay in the same room, he would not make any disrespectful advances!”
“You are overthinking it, Senior Brother Wei Feng.”
Wei Feng continued with a smile, “Jian Ruohan, you might not care, but what will others think if this news spreads?
“A lady’s reputation is a serious matter.”
Jian Ruohan said, “Senior Brother Wei Feng…”
“Enough, Ruohan, no need to say more,” Lin Bai intervened coldly, “Senior Brother Wei Feng’s words are thorny, and it’s clear that he is targeting me.”
“Alright, Senior Brother Wei Feng, there’s no need to bring Ruohan into this anymore.
Just state what you want directly.”
Wei Feng let out a cold smile, “Actually, I didn’t want to meddle, but since Jian Ruohan and Ye Jian Qiu are both good friends of mine, I feel compelled to intervene today!”
“Of course, I am not a rude person.
If Junior Brother Lin Bai can defeat me, I naturally will not interfere any further!”
“But if Junior Brother Lin Bai admits that he is no match for me, then the matter of him wanting to visit Jian Ruohan’s boudoir today is something I will handle!”
Upon hearing this, Jian Ruohan’s face showed a hint of gloom, “Senior Brother Wei Feng, what do you mean by this?
Are you proposing a martial arts competition with Lin Bai?”
“This is my residence, and it’s my freedom to invite anyone anywhere I please!”
“I don’t think there’s a need for Senior Brother Wei Feng to meddle in this.”
As Jian Ruohan spoke, her words rapidly took on a chill.
Hearing Jian Ruohan’s tone, Yejian Qiu knew instantly that Jian Ruohan was getting angry.
With a slight smile, Wei Feng remained noncommittal.
“Very well, I am also eager to experience the strength of a seasoned Spiritual Child,” Lin Bai said with a cold smile as he took a few steps forward, “Senior Brother Wei Feng, let us have our match in the courtyard.”
Having said this, Lin Bai directly passed by Jian Ruohan and headed into the courtyard.
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s acceptance, Wei Feng’s face lit up with pleasure, and he smiled at Yejian Qiu and Dou Ning.
Dou Ning was visibly excited, looking at Wei Feng with eyes brimming with delight, as if saying: Senior Brother Wei Feng is truly formidable, don’t hold back, give Lin Bai a good lesson!
Subsequently, Wei Feng also walked into the courtyard, standing opposite Lin Bai.
Yejian Qiu and Jian Ruohan, Dou Ning, and others all got up and came to the front of the courtyard, watching Lin Bai and Wei Feng.
“Master Ye, why don’t you try to dissuade them?” Jian Ruohan said in a cold voice.
“I…” Yejian Qiu’s face showed distress, at a loss for words: “Ruohan, don’t worry, I won’t let Brother Lin and Senior Brother Wei Feng get hurt by either party, and if one of them loses later, I will take action to rescue them.”
Jian Ruohan said coolly, “Master Ye, you seem to have misunderstood me.
As soon as Senior Brother Wei Feng spoke, he made disrespectful remarks, calling out Lin Bai by name and insulting his upbringing, even slandering Lin Bai’s family!”
“I just clearly felt the killing intent emanating from Lin Bai!”
“Once Lin Bai truly harbors a murderous intent, let alone you, even if both of us took action simultaneously, do you think we could save Senior Brother Wei Feng?”
Jian Ruohan said coldly.
“This…” Upon hearing Jian Ruohan’s words and recalling Lin Bai’s past actions, Yejian Qiu’s face immediately turned grim: “This is the Five Peaks; surely, Lin Bai wouldn’t dare to kill someone here.”
“Wouldn’t dare?” Jian Ruohan said with a cold laugh: “He dared to kill during the Spiritual Child Battle, even before Master Ye Wuhuan, do you think he would hesitate to kill here?”
Upon hearing this, Yejian Qiu’s expression became utterly cold.
Jian Ruohan continued, “He is someone who dislikes restraint, does not fear power, and is not afraid of the strong!”
“He acts entirely according to his own scale in his heart!”
“He has his set of scales for measuring right from wrong; once he believes what he is doing is correct, no matter the circumstance, no matter who the strong ones before him are, he will unswervingly carry it out!”
“Even though he knows that such actions might cost him dearly, he absolutely will not shrink back!”
Jian Ruohan looked deeply at Lin Bai, her eyes carrying a slight chill.
Yejian Qiu smiled bitterly, “You understand him that well?”
“Since you’ve seen through him, have you seen through me?”
Yejian Qiu looked earnestly at Jian Ruohan, his eyes soft with affection.
Jian Ruohan did not see the tenderness in Yejian Qiu’s eyes, for the fight had already begun in the courtyard!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Wei Feng stood opposite Lin Bai, with a cold expression on Lin Bai’s face and a sneer on Wei Feng’s.
“Junior Brother Lin Bai, I’m about to take action,” said Wei Feng with a cold smile, and immediately, his figure flickered into a waning shadow, charging toward Lin Bai with alarming speed!
As Wei Feng attacked right before Lin Bai, Bai remained unmoved in his original spot, still coldly watching Wei Feng.
“Scared stiff, hm?” Seeing Lin Bai not move, Wei Feng’s face revealed a cold sneer and whispered before reaching Lin Bai, “Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan is not a woman you can aspire to.
I advise you to stop entangling with her!”
“As long as you promise not to have any further entanglement with Jian Ruohan, I won’t be ruthlessly harsh on you today!”
“Otherwise, I’m afraid you will have to lie in bed for half a year after today!”
Wei Feng said coldly.
“Heh, so that’s what Senior Brother Wei Feng is really after,” Lin Bai sneered.
“Who I, Lin Bai, associate with, and what kind of people I befriend, I don’t think Senior Brother Wei Feng needs to remind me of that!”
“Besides, Senior Brother Wei Feng, the next time you strike at someone, you don’t need to give a warning in advance!”
“Because that, truly, is very foolish!”
Lin Bai moved suddenly, and the instant Wei Feng came close, Lin Bai threw a powerful punch, breaking through Wei Feng’s layers of defense and landing squarely on Wei Feng’s face!
One punch landed on Wei Feng’s face, and Lin Bai’s fingers shifted, gripping Wei Feng’s face and lifting him into the air!
With just a squeeze of the fingers, Lin Bai could easily crush Wei Feng’s head to pieces!
