Chapter 353: Speculation
Hearing Qiong Biluo's words, that elder from the Yu Clan looked at him, a meaningful smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"You said you wanted to personally cripple him, and I agreed. But now, you have lost."
"Hmm?" Qiong Biluo furrowed his brows, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Indeed, I have lost. So I will hand them over to you."
"Hand over? You've lost, and you still have the right to use the word 'hand over'? I don't need you to hand anything over. After you finish your fight, I'll make my move. There's no rush."
The Yu Clan elder shook his head slightly, his gaze cold. This scene caused the crowd to sigh inwardly with regret.
How pitiful. They had originally thought that Qiong Biluo was the strongest in Heavenly One Academy, with Lin Feng only being second. But the truth, which shocked them to their core, was that the person they considered the academy's number one wasn't even a match for Lin Feng. Lin Feng had easily defeated Qiong Biluo.
Now, the defeated Qiong Biluo wanted the Yu Clan to take over Lin Feng, but the Yu Clan didn't seem to care much for him.
A hint of threat laced the Yu Clan elder's smile.
Qiong Biluo looked at him, his gaze flickering uncertainly. Then, he turned back to Lin Feng and said, "I have lost this battle. You, Lin Feng, are the number one of Heavenly One Academy. The spot is yours as well. How about we shake hands and make peace?"
Hearing Qiong Biluo's words, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then a sarcastic smile appeared in his eyes. When Qiong Biluo thought he could easily defeat Lin Feng, he wanted to cripple Lin Feng's cultivation to prove his own strength. But now that Qiong Biluo had lost, he wanted to shake hands and make peace? Was that possible?
"Weren't you going to cripple my cultivation?" Lin Feng said coldly, causing Qiong Biluo's eyes to narrow. He then turned around and looked at the Yu Clan elder again. "What do you want me to do?"
"Join my Yu Clan," the Yu Clan elder said indifferently.
"Fine, but you have to agree to one condition," Qiong Biluo said, having no other choice.
"If you want to negotiate terms, then forget it. The Yu Clan doesn't lack a single person," the Yu Clan elder sneered, making Qiong Biluo's face stiffen. He then relented and said, "Fine, I'll be a guest elder of the Yu Clan."
"Not a guest elder, but a slave. From now on, whatever the Yu Clan tells you to do, you will do," the Yu Clan elder sneered. A guest elder? Ridiculous. Even though Qiong Biluo had decent talent, with his personality, if he wasn't restrained, he might leave at any time. What use would he be then?
Hearing the word "slave," Qiong Biluo's face turned extremely ugly. A slave? The Yu Clan actually wanted him, Qiong Biluo, to be a slave? How infuriating.
The crowd was also stunned. The Yu Clan elder wanted their genius from Heavenly One Academy to become a slave. Wasn't this also a way to humiliate Heavenly One Academy?
"I'll give you ten breaths to think it over," the Yu Clan elder said coldly, making Qiong Biluo's heart skip a beat. Him, Qiong Biluo, become a slave of the Yu Clan?
His face alternated between pale and green. He glanced at Lin Feng again, biting his lip so hard that blood seeped out.
"I... agree," Qiong Biluo said stiffly, finally speaking. He, Qiong Biluo, had actually agreed to become a slave of the Yu Clan.
"Whoosh..." The crowd below exhaled cold breaths, their eyes filled with indignation. Qiong Biluo had no backbone at all, willingly becoming a slave of the Yu Clan. What kind of genius was this? He was nothing but scum, a waste.
The crowd felt deeply ashamed. Their genius from Heavenly One Academy, the one they even considered the academy's number one, had become a slave of the Yu Clan. How ironic. Remembering how they had once regarded Qiong Biluo as a source of pride and worshipped him, the crowd now felt disgusted. Qiong Biluo wasn't even worthy of being compared to Lin Feng.
"Very well. My Yu Clan will reluctantly accept you," the Yu Clan elder said with a hint of a smile, then added indifferently, "Stand behind me."
Qiong Biluo lowered his head, stepping forward to stand behind the Yu Clan elder. Occasionally, he would lift his eyes to look at Lin Feng, his gaze filled with gloom. He blamed everything on Lin Feng. Without Lin Feng, he, Qiong Biluo, would have been the genius of Heavenly One Academy, lofty and revered by all. How could he have ended up like this? Everything was because of Lin Feng...
At this moment, Qiong Biluo had forgotten who it was that had been seeking out Lin Feng, wanting to defeat and cripple him to prove his own strength.
"Pitiful!"
Looking at Qiong Biluo, Lin Feng spat out a cold voice. Although Qiong Biluo had lost to him, his talent was undeniable. Apart from Lin Feng, he was the most dazzling person in Heavenly One Academy. But now, he had been reduced to a slave. This was indeed a tragedy.
"Pitiful? You, Lin Feng, aren't even worthy of being a slave of my Yu Clan. Your only outcome is death. No one can save you."
The Yu Clan elder stared coldly at Lin Feng, his killing intent fully exposed. Lin Feng had to die.
"Are you trying to scare me with those words?" Lin Feng said indifferently, then slowly added, "This is Heavenly One Academy."
The Yu Clan elder frowned but quickly returned to normal. "So what?"
"No matter what, Heavenly One Academy is not a place for your Yu Clan to run wild. I'm sure you understand that better than I do."
"I really don't understand. Right now, I'm going to kill you," the Yu Clan elder sneered coldly, taking a step forward from atop the white crane. But at the same time, a sound of a zither rippled through the air. Just one note, but it froze the Yu Clan elder's step.
Raising his gaze, the Yu Clan elder looked in the direction from which the zither sound came, a look of understanding appearing on his face.
"So it's Senior Misty Rain, living life like a straw cloak in mist and rain," the Yu Clan elder said, his voice carrying far into the distance, causing many in the crowd to look puzzled. But Lin Feng knew exactly what was going on.
Misty Rain in Life. That single note of the zither had come from him.
"Scram!"
The only word that echoed through the space was "scram."
This "scram" was calm and gentle, as if it contained no anger at all. But the Yu Clan elder's heart tightened. Who would dare underestimate Misty Rain in Life?
"Since Senior Misty Rain commands it, I naturally obey," the Yu Clan elder said calmly. Then he turned around and waved his hand. The Yu Clan members all left immediately.
This scene made Qiong Biluo's eyes freeze. Leave? They were just leaving like that? Not killing Lin Feng?
And what did "living life like a straw cloak in mist and rain" mean? Who was Misty Rain in Life?
Qiong Biluo shot a cold glance at Lin Feng, but saw Lin Feng casually take a step forward. His heart trembled, and his body flickered as he directly fled.
Soon, the group of figures disappeared without a trace.
Watching the disappearing figures, Lin Feng turned his gaze and then stepped through the void, heading in a certain direction, directly leaving the sky above the martial arts arena.
"They all just left like that?"
The crowd looked at the empty sky, speechless. The Yu Clan had come with such fanfare, and now they just left? All because of a single word from that Senior Misty Rain?
Who exactly was Senior Misty Rain? He seemed even more authoritative than the academy head, Long Ding. The Yu Clan didn't care about Long Ding at all, but they seemed very afraid of this Senior Misty Rain.
No one could figure it out, but they all understood one thing: Lin Feng was the undisputed number one of Heavenly One Academy.
Lin Feng went directly to the peach blossom forest of Heavenly One Academy. Instead of continuing to step through the void, he landed on the ground and slowly walked up to the pavilion. Misty Rain in Life was still there playing the zither, as if his life consisted of nothing but that ancient instrument.
"Teacher, what exactly is going on?"
Lin Feng asked. The Yu Clan had come with such force to kill him, yet they left because of a single word from Misty Rain in Life. It seemed they hadn't really come to kill him at all.
"They wanted to see through your background," Misty Rain in Life said indifferently, causing Lin Feng's gaze to freeze. See through his background? What background did he, Lin Feng, have?
"Don't you think everything that happened in Longing Forest was very suspicious?" Misty Rain in Life raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, making Lin Feng realize that Misty Rain in Life seemed to know everything that happened outside.
"It is very suspicious," Lin Feng nodded slightly. Duan Wuya seemed to have deliberately arranged a meeting. He killed Yu Tianxing, and Yu Chou came to retaliate, but the result was that Yu Chou was crippled by the people from Longing Forest. This was all very suspicious. Why did the people from Longing Forest help him? Lin Feng didn't want to make random guesses, but Misty Rain in Life was reminding him.
"Lin Feng, perhaps you are connected to certain people. The Yu Clan couldn't figure out the truth, so they deliberately came to Heavenly One Academy to test you," Misty Rain in Life said casually, but it made Lin Feng's heart tremble. The words were calm, but he could feel the wisdom behind them. Perhaps he, Lin Feng, was indeed connected to certain people!
Misty Rain in Life was definitely not someone who spoke carelessly.
