Doupo: Many Children, Many Blessings; Starting with Rock Spear Judgment of Yunshan
Chapter 20 Ancient Clan Empress? She's completely transparent to me!
Night falls and the city lights begin to twinkle.
Inside the Xiao family's main hall, people were drinking and making a racket, the noise almost lifting the roof off.
To celebrate this "reversal of engagement" that will be recorded in the history of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan brought out his treasured vintage wine.
The aroma of wine filled the air.
The usually serious and rigid elders of the Xiao family were now all beaming with joy, taking turns raising their wine glasses to the head of the table.
"Senior Lin! If it weren't for your intervention today, the Xiao family would have lost all face!"
"We, the Xiao family, will never forget your great kindness! I'll drink this cup in one gulp, please help yourself!"
"Senior is truly a genius! Those scum from the Yunlan Sect ran faster than rabbits!"
Lin Feng sat in the head seat, holding the jade cup he had just casually crafted in his hand.
The wine went down my throat.
Spicy and rich.
But in his mouth, who possessed the physique of "Rock King Emperor," this strong liquor, which was enough to intoxicate even a Douling expert, tasted as bland as water.
Even after drinking a thousand cups, his golden eyes remained clear, showing no sign of drunkenness.
There is only a kind of composure that comes from the passage of time.
Paimon lay on the table next to him, his little feet swinging back and forth.
Empty plates were piled up in front of me.
"Mmm...this braised lion's head meatball is delicious!"
"That beggar's chicken is pretty good too!"
"Traveler, you should eat more too. Drinking alone won't fill you up."
Paimon's mouth was stuffed full, and he mumbled incoherently.
Lin Feng put down his wine glass, ignoring the fawning compliments around him.
His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on a table at the far edge of the hall.
A young girl was sitting there.
Wearing a purple dress, she exuded a cool and aloof aura, standing out starkly from the bustling atmosphere around her.
Xiao Xun'er.
The girl held a teacup in her hand, seemingly sipping her tea with her head down, but her eyes were actually fixed on Lin Feng out of the corner of her eye.
His gaze held a mixture of inquiry, vigilance, and a deep sense of apprehension.
Lin Feng's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile.
interesting.
Has this girl finally given in after holding back all night?
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Lin Feng stood up and politely declined Xiao Zhan's suggestion to open another jar of fine wine.
I'm tired.
The two simple words instantly silenced the previously noisy hall.
Xiao Zhan quickly put down his wine glass and bent his waist extremely low.
"Yes, yes, yes! Senior, you must be tired today, it's only right that you rest early!"
"Quick! Arrange the best guest room for the senior! And you... you, prepare the quietest room in the backyard, the Listening Waves Pavilion!"
Lin Feng waved his hand and, with Paimon, whose belly was round from eating and who could barely fly, slowly walked out of the hall.
The night breeze was slightly cool.
The back garden was extremely quiet, with only the chirping of unknown insects rising and falling in the grass.
A pavilion stands alone in the middle of the lotus pond, the moonlight shining on the water, making it shimmer.
Lin Feng walked into the pavilion and sat down on the stone bench.
Paimon slumped limply on the stone table like a deflated balloon, letting out a satisfied sigh.
"Phew... I'm finally full."
"The Xiao family's chefs are decent, but they don't have enough desserts."
"Travelers, are we looking at the moon?"
Lin Feng leaned against a pillar, gazing at the bright, full moon in the sky.
"Not looking at the moon."
"We're waiting for guests."
"guest?"
Paimon struggled to turn over, looking completely bewildered.
"Who would come this late? Could it be that unlucky guy named Xiao Yan?"
The voice just fell.
A soft footstep broke the silence of the garden.
The footsteps were light and rhythmic.
A graceful figure in purple walked through the corridor, stepping into the moonlight, and slowly walked onto the winding bridge leading to the pavilion.
Xiao Xun'er.
At this moment, the feigned innocence she had displayed during the day was gone from her face.
Instead, there is a kind of aloofness and arrogance that belongs to those in power.
That's the true nature of an ancient clan's young lady.
Xun'er walked to the outside of the pavilion, stopped, and bowed slightly to Lin Feng.
He was courteous and polite, yet his demeanor was distant.
"Mr. Lin."
The sound was crisp and clear, like jade beads falling onto a plate.
"Thank you for your help today, sir. You saved Brother Xiao Yan's face and the dignity of the Xiao family."
"On behalf of Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er thanks you, sir."
Lin Feng did not turn around.
His fingers tapped lightly on the stone table, making a soft, rhythmic sound.
"No need for thanks."
I do things entirely based on my mood.
"Miss Xiao, why are you out so late, instead of sleeping, coming to this desolate place to thank me?"
"That reason is rather far-fetched."
Xun'er straightened up, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She stopped beating around the bush and walked straight into the pavilion, sitting down opposite Lin Feng.
"Since you speak so frankly, then Xun'er will speak frankly as well."
"Who exactly is this gentleman?"
"Where did you come from?"
"Why are you meddling in the Xiao family's affairs?"
Three questions in a row, aggressive and pressing.
In this small city of Wutan, a mysterious powerhouse suddenly appeared who could even suppress the Medicine Venerable.
This is a huge variable for her and for the ancient tribe.
She couldn't eat or sleep if she didn't find out the other party's background.
Lin Feng turned his head, his golden eyes quietly looking at the aggressive young woman in front of him.
no answer.
Instead, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of the already cold leftover tea.
"The tea has gone cold."
Lin Feng took a sip, his brows furrowing slightly.
Then, he put down his teacup and spoke softly to the heavy shadow behind Xun'er.
"Come out."
"Hidden in the shadows, holding your breath until your face turned purple, didn't you feel uncomfortable?"
The air froze instantly.
Xun'er's calm expression suddenly changed, and her hands on her knees tightened abruptly.
We've been discovered?!
Those were Dark Guards at the Dou Huang level!
Possessing dark attribute battle qi, they excel at concealing their aura, making them undetectable even to experts of the same level!
How did this person find out without even turning their head?
A strange ripple spread out from the shadows.
A dark shadow appeared like a ghost, eventually coalescing into a middle-aged man completely shrouded in a black robe.
Lingying.
At this moment, his forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, and his exposed eyes were filled with horror.
He believed he had hidden it perfectly.
Even breathing and heartbeat were controlled to the extreme.
But in front of this young man, he felt like a naked clown, completely exposed.
"Your Excellency... has such keen perception."
Ling Ying spoke in a hoarse voice, and in a flash, she stood in front of Xun'er.
His fighting spirit surged wildly within him, ready to fight to the death at any moment.
Lin Feng didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Battle Emperor?"
"Five-star... no, it should be eight-star Dou Huang, right?"
"The ancient clan sent an eight-star Dou Huang to be the young lady's bodyguard. This is indeed much more generous than that impoverished Yunlan Sect."
boom!
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Xun'er and Ling Ying's ears.
Ancient tribes!
Upon hearing those two words, Ling Ying felt a chill run down her spine.
Xun'er suddenly stood up, staring intently at Lin Feng, her originally cold and beautiful eyes now filled with murderous intent.
This is top secret!
She had been hiding in the Xiao family for so many years, and apart from the core members and high-ranking officials, no one knew her true identity!
How could this guy of unknown origin possibly reveal the truth so easily?!
"Who are you?!"
Xun'er's voice was no longer calm, but trembled slightly.
A wisp of golden flame quietly rose in the palm of his hand.
Although the flame was small, it emitted a terrifyingly high temperature that was enough to incinerate everything.
Even the surrounding space was slightly distorted by the flames.
It ranks fourth on the list of strange flames.
Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame!
Lin Feng looked at the wisp of golden flame, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Is this the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame?"
"It looks good."
"Compared to Yao Chen's eerie white bone spirit flame, it is indeed much more impressive."
This judgmental tone thoroughly enraged Xun'er.
Now that our identities have been exposed, we absolutely cannot leave any survivors!
Even if the opponent's strength is unfathomable, for the sake of the ancient clan's plan and for that piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, she must fight to the death!
"Elder Ling! Make your move!"
With a delicate shout, Xun'er's golden flames instantly surged, transforming into a roaring fire dragon that lunged straight at Lin Feng's face.
Ling Ying did not hesitate at all.
A black spear materialized in his hand, whistling as it tore through the air, and stabbed fiercely toward Lin Feng's throat.
The two worked together seamlessly, and every move they made was a deadly strike!
The small pavilion was instantly filled with violent fighting spirit.
If it were an ordinary Dou Zong expert, they would probably be caught off guard by this attack.
