Urban All-Round Master

”When did you arrive?”

Beiming Yu suddenly stood up. Beiming Lan and Beiming Huang also rose to their feet.

”Uh, not long ago.” Lin Zifeng carefully observed their facial expressions and then, seemingly guessing something, acted embarrassed.

However, Beiming Yu saw through it all effortlessly.

”Did you overhear the conversation between my daughter and me just now?”

Beiming Yu was straightforward, directly asking in Lin Zifeng’s presence.

”No! How could I! I just got here, did you discuss something important in the private room?” Lin Zifeng continued pretending.

Come on, Beiming Yu, don’t think I don’t know your little thoughts. Wasn’t it just about... chest size or something? I have... too...

”Really didn’t hear anything?” Beiming Lan also leaned her small head forward, squinting her eyes like a little thief.

”Hey, hey! You guys invited me over not to judge me with such looks and tone, right? Had I known, I would’ve just not come at all.” He was understandably annoyed.

Considering Beiming Yu was the one who invited him to hang out, what was the deal now? Like he’s a suspect? Screw that Immortal business!

”Hmm! Are you certain you didn’t hear anything?” Beiming Yu’s brow arched slightly, turning her delicate body, she gazed at Lin Zifeng with interest.

”Really heard nothing!” Lin Zifeng gave a bitter smile and said, ”Even if I did hear something, it’s already heard, what can I honestly say?” He glanced at the three of them again and again.

Beiming Huang remained silent. Beiming Yu didn’t take it seriously, returning to her seat to enjoy her coffee.

But Beiming Lan was particularly displeased!

”Little follower! We agreed to meet for coffee, and look at the time! Did you know we’ve been waiting for you for so long? Do you know how many cups of coffee I’ve had?”

”No, I don’t.” Lin Zifeng shook his head, replying honestly.

”You...” Beiming Lan was nearly bursting with rage.

”Hehe, you didn’t tell me which café. Besides, Yanjing is huge. Countless cafés, if I weren’t looking specifically at well-known cafés, I might never find you.” Lin Zifeng shrugged and laughed.

”I...”

Beiming Lan turned red with frustration. She hadn’t indeed specified which café when she called Lin Zifeng. Assuming she was always at her usual spot and assuming he’d find them. But she was wrong.

”Alright. Since you invited me for coffee, I’ll have this cup first.” Lin Zifeng stepped to the table, reaching for his coffee, but surprisingly, just as Beiming Yu, who was sipping with a spoon, fixed her gaze, she flicked a drop of coffee, sending two droplets in his direction.

”Swish, swish...”

Lin Zifeng stretched his hand to touch the coffee cup, but the two droplets nudged the cup several centimeters aside, causing him to miss...

Unfazed, Beiming Yu continued sipping her coffee, a composed demeanour suggesting she was uninvolved.

Nonetheless, Lin Zifeng wasn’t angry but smiled instead, a subtle grin forming as he reached again for the coffee.

But the coffee again escaped his grasp.

This time, Lin Zifeng began to hesitate.

Opposite Beiming Yu, Beiming Huang beautiful eyes aloof, watched, bewildered at why the coffee cup moved away from Lin Zifeng’s palm.

”What? Dislike the coffee here?” Beiming Yu raised her flawless face, cheeks slightly red as if dusted with powder, radiant and lovely.

”Hey! Won’t you let me have my coffee?”

Beiming Lan shouted loudly.

”It’s just a cup of coffee, is there need to tease my little follower so?” Anyone could see it was Beiming Yu playing tricks with the moving coffee.

”You little brat, is it your place to talk?” Beiming Yu trembled with anger. Wanting to test Lin Zifeng, unexpectedly, her uncooperative daughter saw through her act.

Everyone knows Beiming Yu’s personality varies greatly; perhaps today she’s a Goddess, tomorrow a Demon...

”Humph, little follower don’t mind her, that’s just her way. You’ll get used to it.” Beiming Lan said discontentedly.

”...”

Lin Zifeng was speechless. Being able to speak to one’s mother like this, Beiming Lan was quite fitting in her role. Inwardly, he found this mother too over-the-top.

”Alright. Lan, you and your sister step out for now. I want to chat with him privately.” Beiming Yu placed her coffee cup down and stood up.

”Why! Can’t I listen-in on whatever you’re discussing?”

Faced with the instruction to leave, Beiming Lan’s bright eyes widened.

”Just go when you’re told! What’s with all the fuss?” Beiming Yu scolded.

”No! I won’t leave. I want to hear what you’re telling my little follower.” Beiming Lan was stubborn.

”Fine, listen then.” Beiming Yu not angry, but smilingly, looked at Lin Zifeng, ”What do you plan next?”

”I don’t quite understand you.” Lin Zifeng shrugged, shaking his head.

”It’s about how you plan to proceed with the South Heavenly Gate.”

”Hehe, take it step by step.” Lin Zifeng casually replied. South Heavenly Gate just experienced a great catastrophe and needs some period of recovery before rapid growth. Not to mention...

How to develop is South Heavenly Gate’s issue, unlikely related to Beiming Yu.

”Lin Zifeng, you must realize. Now in Yanjing, your South Heavenly Gate and my Beiming Family have become the center of attention. We’re part of the landscape, whether as a thorn in the eye or not.

Also, apart from us Beiming Family, Yanjing has another secretive major Family. You must be aware that Shangguan, Ouyang, and Nolan Families have fallen.

Currently, Yanjing forms a triad, but who knows if the Lin Family will easily spare us? So I ask you, do you dare wage war on the Lin Family!”

”You mean you want to challenge Yanjing’s top dog, Lin Family?”

Lin Zifeng’s brows raised, eyes brimming with endless light, bore into her, his coffee cup quivering, splitting into pieces yet didn’t explode.

”Yes! I really want to understand your intentions!”

To prevent eavesdropping, Beiming Yu unconsciously expanded her Self-made Space. Lin Zifeng startled. The sight of Beiming Yu having achieved Self-made Space, no longer merely a Barrier expert.
