”Showing hostility the moment I walk in, looks like these women aren’t very happy to see me.”

Cao Ying quickly understood their intention. Growing up being trained as a future core figure of Pill Tower, she wasn’t stupid. Of course, even though that’s what she was thinking, her beautiful face instead showed a gentle smile.

She looked at Lin Feng sweetly and said, ”Husband, it seems like these sisters aren’t very welcoming toward me. Maybe I should go back first.”

Naturally, she only said that, but she never once considered actually slipping away embarrassed like this. If she backed down the first time, she had no doubt these women would bully her even harder in the future.

The only reason she said those words was because she was certain Lin Feng wouldn’t let her leave.

”Alright, stop making trouble, all of you. If there’s nothing else, let’s go back to the room and talk about serious matters.”

Just as she expected, Lin Feng would never allow Cao Ying to walk away like this. He could only step in to ease the atmosphere. He also knew that Xiao Yixian and the others weren’t truly targeting Cao Ying. They were just upset seeing him being close to another woman.

After he finished speaking, he let go of Cao Ying’s delicate jade hand and continued walking toward the inner courtyard. Seeing him leave, the four women exchanged looks, then silently followed behind him.

”Young Pavilion Master, Lin Feng has returned.”

At the same time, inside an inn within Holy Pill City, an old man hurried to a room door and called inside.

Creak~

Right after his voice fell, the tightly closed door was pulled open from inside. Xiao Yan appeared, his expression slightly excited as he asked, ”Where is he now?”

”When this old one left, he and Cao Ying were heading toward the Ye Courtyard.”

Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly act so excited, the old man quickly replied.

”Alright, you and the others rest here for now. I’ll go out first.”

Hearing the location, Xiao Yan didn’t seem surprised. After saying that, he immediately walked toward the direction of the Ye Courtyard with visible urgency.

Of course, Lin Feng at this moment had no idea Xiao Yan was rushing toward him. After entering the room, Lin Feng sat down at the wooden table. The four women also took their seats one by one.

Once everyone was seated, Lin Feng asked, ”Where’s Zi Yan? Why haven’t I seen her?”

”That girl returned to Ye Courtyard a few days after you left. After that, Xin Lan dragged her to study etiquette for more than half a month.

A few days ago, we gave her a short break, but that little brat was so desperate to play that she ran off before we even finished talking. Right now, we have no idea where she went. You know how she is — if she gets the chance to play, nothing can stop her.”

After speaking, Xiao Yixian shook her head helplessly.

”That girl must’ve felt suffocated after being forced to study etiquette for so long.”

Lin Feng chuckled and gently ran his fingers through Xin Lan’s soft hair, asking, ”She didn’t cause trouble while learning from you, right?”

”Not at all. Zi Yan behaved very well and practiced seriously during that time.”

Xin Lan closed her eyes slightly, enjoying his touch, and replied softly.

Meanwhile, Cao Ying sat quietly to the side, not joining the conversation. After all, she didn’t even know who Zi Yan was, so there was no way for her to participate.

”What about Xiao Yan? Has there been any movement from him?”

After learning that Xiao Yixian and the others also didn’t know Zi Yan’s location, Lin Feng didn’t rush to summon her with a space jade slip. Instead, he continued asking.

Xiao Yixian glanced at Cao Ying, and seeing that Lin Feng intended for her to stay, she spoke, ”A few days ago, the Ancient Void Dragon Dou Zun who was monitoring Xiao Yan sent word.

He said the other side has gathered an Eight-Star Dou Zun, a Seven-Star Dou Zun, and two Six-Star Dou Zun. It seems they’re preparing to take action.”

”Before that, I went to investigate Death Soul Mountain Range. From a few magic beasts, I learned that not long ago, several unfamiliar Dou Zun entered that place twice.

I think they must be people sent by Xiao Yan or the Pill Tower Three Leaders. They probably also believe Yao Chen is inside the branch hall.”

Feng Qing’er continued after Xiao Yixian finished speaking.

”Oh? If that’s the case, then I need to finish my preparations soon.”

Hearing Feng Qing’er’s analysis, Lin Feng also firmly believed those unfamiliar Dou Zun belonged to Xiao Yan or the Pill Tower Leaders. After all, aside from them, who else would be bored enough to explore a Hall of Souls branch?

Thinking of that, Lin Feng turned to Feng Qing’er and said, ”Qing’er, you can tell your teacher and the others to scatter and ambush around the Hall of Souls branch locations we selected. Be prepared to act anytime.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’er raised the corner of her lips slightly and replied, ”Relax. I already sent them out a few days ago.”

”Good job. After this matter ends, I’ll reward you heavily.”

Seeing that his wife had already handled it ahead of time, Lin Feng couldn’t help laughing.

But since Feng Qing’er and Xiao Yixian were sitting across from him, he didn’t dare do anything else. Hearing his tone, the four women all rolled their eyes at him.

Next, Cao Ying frowned slightly and asked, ”You’re planning to ambush Hall of Souls?”

Since Lin Feng hadn’t told her anything on the way back, she still didn’t know what they were discussing.

”You didn’t tell her?”

Feng Qing’er turned her gaze toward Lin Feng. Xiao Yixian and Xin Lan also looked at him with mild surprise. They had assumed Lin Feng intended to include Cao Ying in the discussion and had already informed her on the trip back.

”Uh… there wasn’t time.”

With all four women staring at him, Lin Feng scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

After all, inside the spatial wormhole these past few days, he and Cao Ying had been… active… for several days and nights. Even her stockings had been torn and replaced countless times. Under those circumstances, how could he possibly have time to explain anything?

Hearing this, the women all showed the same speechless expression. Although they hadn’t witnessed it personally, after living with Lin Feng for so long…it didn’t take long for them to guess exactly why he ”didn’t have time.”

Xiao Yixian gave Lin Feng an annoyed glare, then turned her head and leaned close to Cao Ying’s ear to quietly explain everything.

”You people are insane. You actually dare steal from Hall of Souls!”

After listening to the entire plan, Cao Ying’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed. Only now did she finally understand — Lin Feng and the others were planning to target Hall of Souls, and rob them while they were distracted.

A true case of playing with fire.
