Chapter 71: Damn! Could Young Master Lin be Ling Feng’s father?

“It’s true!”

“How could my judgment ever be wrong!”

The elder smiled.

However!

In all seriousness, they must avoid that brat named Lin!

He feared Ling Feng might have his Dao heart shattered again!

Even though that Lin kid actually did nothing…

Once this is over, I need to take Ling Feng away from this Eastern Wasteland Ancient Continent!

As he was thinking this.

Suddenly!

The elder’s eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes widened in shock.

Damn it!

Isn’t it just my luck for this to happen!

“Ling! Get out of here quickly!”

Hearing the urgent voice in his mind, Ling Feng was puzzled, “What’s the matter, Master?”

“Leave now!”

The elder was desperate.

Every encounter with Lin Ao Tian ended with Ling Feng severely injured!

He wasn’t sure how many more times Ling Feng could withstand it.

At that very moment, a gentle voice echoed in Ling Feng’s ear.

“Ling Feng, you didn’t disappoint me. You’ve unsealed the Sacred Body, nicely done!”

Somehow, Lin Ao Tian had appeared before Ling Feng, with his hands behind his back and a tone of affirmation, as if an elder speaking to a junior.

To be fair, Lin Ao Tian now actually was his elder.

In the void.

Liu Ruyan initially felt gratified seeing Ling Feng standing tall again and fully unsealing the Sacred Body.

The next second,

Upon Lin Ao Tian’s arrival, his elder’s tone made Liu Ruyan’s beautiful eyes narrow with a hint of annoyance.

She understood, though, that Ling Feng truly was her junior.

In mortal terms, he should call her Goddess Liu without exaggeration.

Therefore, Ling Feng should indeed call Lin Ao Tian ‘grandfather’…

***

“Huh? From that tone, it seems Young Master Lin knows this unknown prodigy!”

“Tsk… As expected, geniuses recognize geniuses!”

“But, do you guys think that Young Master Lin’s tone sounds more like an elder to a junior than like friends?”

A bystander suddenly voiced out.

“Uh… Now that you mention it, it really does…”

“Damn! Could it be that Ling Feng is Young Master Lin’s illegitimate son?”

Another bystander exclaimed in shock.

“I think there’s something wrong with that notion!! Damn it, how old do you think Young Master Lin is?”

“Then how do you explain this scene?”

“Hehe, being an elder doesn’t always mean being older; there are ways to achieve that.”

The bystander chuckled, eyes glinting.

The crowd erupted in discussions, while those accompanying Lin Ao Tian were utterly puzzled.

Including Ji Yue’er.

Of course, they knew Ling Feng, having crossed paths earlier.

During that encounter at the Jiang Family martial field, after Ling Feng mysteriously disappeared, efforts to locate him came up empty, and the matter was eventually abandoned.

Who would have thought that upon reencountering him, Ling Feng had completely unsealed his Sacred Body?

Becoming an authentic Primordial Sacred Body.

But what shocked them wasn’t this, but Lin Ao Tian’s attitude… his tone.

By all logic, Ling Feng should be a foe, not a friend.

So why this…

This thought struck Jiang Bufan’s mind.

Suddenly!

Two figures flanked him.

“Sigh~, Young Master Lin’s magnanimity is the broadest I’ve ever seen… Following such a person ensures no disgrace,” Gaowan exclaimed admiringly.

“Indeed!”

“Young Master Lin’s kindness even toward enemies shows how generous he must be to his followers.”

“Please do applause for Young master Lin!”

Clap clap clap~~~!

Ji Bo echoed earnestly.

“….”

Jiang Bufan’s mouth twitched slightly, rubbing his brow without changing expression.

These two guys…

At this moment.

Ling Feng stood in the spotlight, his expression stiffening at the surrounding whispers.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, he was utterly dumbstruck.

Next, Lin Ao Tian’s gaze turned worried, speaking with deep concern: “But back to the point,Ling Feng, your body just unsealed, after such a battle, you should rest.”

“Here’s a Sacred Medicine, take it to nurture yourself…”

Saying this, Lin Ao Tian passed over a Sacred Medicine, its Dao essence wafting, drifting to Ling Feng.

“Damn, confirmed!”

“Gasp… A Sacred Medicine? Could Young Master Lin be his stepfather?”

“Hmm… quite possibly!”

“Not just possibly, Young Master Lin must be his grandparent! How else could a Sacred Medicine be casually given? Even my father isn’t that generous to me!”

Hearing these words, Ling Feng’s body trembled more violently, fists clenching tighter.

“Huh… Ling Feng, could it be this Lin kid really is related to you? Did he ensnare your family?” Da Huang gossiped, eyes bristling with curiosity.

This included the elder within the ring.

“I swear, disciple, that’s a Sacred Medicine!”

“Lin Ao Tian is so generous; could he seriously have gotten involved with your family?”

“Can’t let this slide, after all, not only did he cuckold you, but now he wants to be your dad?”

“Your Sacred Body is legendary, retaliate now!”

“Gasp… Disciple, something’s off, this Lin kid is truly monstrous!! He’s attained sainthood!”

“Forget it, we’ll live to fight another day; take the Sacred Medicine and flee…”

In this moment.

Ling Feng was utterly dumbfounded, body shaking, eyes blazing with fury, fists creaking.

“No!”

“I have no family!”

His voice was hoarse to the extreme.

He had been raised by the villagers of Stone Village, his family long dead.

Hearing this, Da Huang was taken aback.

Damn!

You’re ruthless, giving up family over this?

Actually, though, if your mother were to remarry, it might not be so bad…

[Ding, system upgrade reward: With the protagonist breaking through to Divine Flame and perfecting the Sacred Body, the main storyline officially unfolds. Seizing protagonist opportunities grants critical rewards.]

Listening to the system prompts, Lin Ao Tian looked sympathetically at the pale-faced Ling Feng.

Sigh~

You saw it yourself, it wasn’t my plan.

Honestly, lightly damaging your Dao heart is quite good already.

But… no choice!

Then he leisurely walked toward the trembling Ling Feng.

Feigning puzzlement.

“Huh?”

“Why are you shaking so much, Ling Femg?”

“Are you hurt?”

Lin Ao Tian didn’t acknowledge the grim-faced Ling Feng. After patting his shoulder, he headed towards the Xu Shen Tower.

At long last, Ling Feng couldn’t help but roar: “LIN AO TIAN!!!!!”

“Don’t speak to me in such a tone!”

Lin Ao Tian merely smiled faintly, sighed helplessly, and entered the tower, vanishing from sight.

This relic had the greatest benefit of receiving Wu Shi’s recognition, becoming his chosen one.

Ling Feng also repeatedly turned the tables, ultimately becoming the largest beneficiary.

The top floor…

Was randomly set by Wu Shi; he never imagined anyone would reach it.

…

Tln : ao tian starting to act like a villain now haha.
