Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1326: Chapter 1360: So-Called Cold Aloofness Is Actually Just Goofiness

”Suspicion isn’t quite right, I’m questioning!”

Beiming Yu didn’t hide her dissatisfaction with Lin Zifeng, her delicate jade cheeks full of disdain.

The tension between the two was increasingly evident.

Beiming Lan quickly stepped forward, grabbing her mother’s arm, angrily saying: ”Beiming Yu, what do you want? Are you really upset that I got myself a little servant? Do you even know that if it hadn’t been for him today, I’d have been kidnapped by those bad men, and you might never see your beautiful and adorable Beiming Lan again!”

”What about the personal bodyguards I found for you?”

Beiming Yu’s arrogance diminished considerably.

”Hmph! Just those few muscle-bound, simple-minded guys, Missy here could easily use a lame excuse to fool them into running around aimlessly; do you think those people can really protect me?”

”I don’t care, you were always worried about my safety, right? Well, I’ve found myself a follower now, and if you dismiss him, then we’ll sever mother-daughter ties!”

”You brat, you’re ready to break off with your mother over an outsider, aren’t you?” Beiming Yu was infuriated, thinking of herself as a stunningly talented figure, yet having such a headstrong daughter.

”What outsider? I’ve already promised him, he’ll be hanging out with me from now on, so. Beiming Yu, please treat him politely in the future, okay? Don’t keep calling him an outsider, he’s one of my people now.”

Beiming Lan was extremely protective.

Lin Zifeng was suddenly puzzled, darn it, since when did I become your person?

”Fine, fine, since your mind is made up, at least he’s your savior, alright then.”

Beiming Yu realized she couldn’t win against her headstrong daughter, and reluctantly compromised.

She stepped forward, giving Lin Zifeng a charming smile: ”Handsome, my daughter’s safety is in your hands now.”

Saying this, she didn’t wait for Lin Zifeng to respond before turning away.

The so-called aloof arrogance, was simply absurd.

”Old Wang, then the handsome guy here is up to you to manage. Sending him to your Qishi Mansion shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Beside her stood an elderly man, skinny and with white hair.

”Yes, Family Head. Rest assured, I will not fail your trust.” Saying so, the old man stepped forward, casting a sharp glance at Lin Zifeng.

It seemed to warn him: Kid, now that you’re in my hands, you’d better behave.

”Oh! Qishi Mansion? Beiming Yu, are you talking about those Qishi we Beiming Family foster?” Beiming Lan thought for a moment, suddenly eyes lighting up.

Those Qishi were secretly cultivated by the Beiming Family, supposedly with profound cultivation, gathering various extraordinary people together to continuously inject fresh blood into the family and cultivate masters.

This was also Beiming Yu’s biggest decision back then.

Upon mentioning Qishi Mansion, Beiming Lan instantly perked up.

Qishi Mansion, she had run off there secretly out of curiosity when she was young. She ended up being scared half to death by an old man playing with a Big Snake. Subsequently, she didn’t dare visit that eerie place again.

”What? You want to visit Qishi Mansion too?”

Beiming Yu glared at her deeply. Frightened, Beiming Lan shrank her neck, not daring to say anything more.

”Alright, Old Wang, first arrange the accommodation for this handsome guy. I’ll take Second Miss to rest now.”

”Alright. I’ll make sure Mr. Lin’s arrangements are satisfactory.” The old man bowed and nodded, then stepped forward to grab Lin Zifeng’s arm, coldly saying: ”Mr. Lin, let’s go.”

”Heh heh, old man, no need to be so courteous, I’ll walk myself.” Lin Zifeng wasn’t pleased with this treatment. If not for having concerns, he’d smack this old bastard dead.

Watching Beiming Lan leave him here, Lin Zifeng somewhat regretted coming to this so-called Beiming Family with this girl.

”Oh? Kid, don’t know what background you have, but here, at Beiming Family, you need to know the rules!” Once Beiming Yu left, the damned old man revealed his true colors.

His face was a menacing grin.

”Old man, hearing you, are you going to teach me the rules?” Lin Zifeng responded sharply, acting cocky.

”Kid, this is Beiming Family. I don’t care how arrogant you are outside, here, if you’re a dragon, you’ll coil. If you’re a tiger, you’ll stay docile!” The elder had a stern and decisive demeanor.

”What if I’m a monkey?” Lin Zifeng suddenly asked cheekily.

”You!”

The old man choked, his fingers turning white from rage, tremblingly pointing at Lin Zifeng’s nose: ”I will make you regret coming to Beiming Family!”

Having said that, he stormed off.

”Hey, old man, it’s just a joke. It’s not going to kill anybody, need to be so angry?” Lin Zifeng was speechless, this old man really couldn’t take a joke.

Just a few words and he starts losing his temper.

Ten minutes later, Lin Zifeng was taken by the elder into the Beiming Family, promptly arriving at a huge, maze-like garden.

In the garden, there were countless small independent houses, each about a hundred meters in area, with a small garden inside and surrounded by walls, making it difficult to discern who lives inside.

”Kid, this is Qishi Mansion. Your courtyard is in that far corner; someone will lead you in later. Also, unless there’s something urgent, don’t roam around. The old man won’t take responsibility if anything happens.”

The elder hid his face in a sinister smile as if leading Lin Zifeng into Hell.

”Old man, do all these courtyards have people living in them?”

Lin Zifeng asked.

He glanced around, not finding anything particularly odd, yet the place emanated a special aura, unsettling.

”Rubbish, if not people, then turtles, huh?”

The elder frowned, laughed angrily.

”Ha ha—Old Wang, tricked another kid into this place, didn’t you?”

Just as the elder finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly emitted from a nearby courtyard.

Even before the voice trailed off, Lin Zifeng couldn’t help but laugh heartily, making the laughter more pronounced to match the orchestrating voice’s owner.

Because the elder’s surname really was Wang, being ridiculed as a turtle (Wang Ba) fit him poetically.

”Old ghost, hiding like a turtle in your courtyard, do you really think I won’t dare do anything? Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll squeeze you to death!”

The elderly man’s face turned beet red with rage, like an enraged lion.

He was almost tempted to jump into the courtyard and drag out the voice’s owner for a beating.

”Old Wang Ba, your surname’s Wang, called Wang Ba. Can we not even say it now?”

The courtyard’s voice kept up the mockery.
