Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 931: Chapter 10: The Scheming Liuu Huaxian

“Young Master Lin, shall we find a place to talk?” Liu Huaxian asked.

This time, Lin Feng did not refuse. He nodded and left with Liu Huaxian.

“What a splendid love rivalry! No wonder Liu Huaxian got involved with that kid. That kid is too formidable. What’s Su Ling compared to him?”

“Indeed, Su Ling thought he had the upper hand, but who knew the other party was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and beat him half to death?”

“This could be made into a novel for storytellers in teahouses; it would surely attract many customers.”

…

Seeing Lin Feng and Liu Huaxian leave, many people started to gossip, filling in countless narrative gaps in their minds.

And such gossip spread fast. Soon enough, there really were storytellers in taverns and teahouses recounting the incident.

But that’s a story for another time.

Lin Feng and Liu Huaxian arrived at a tranquil teahouse. After taking their seats, Lin Feng looked at Liu Huaxian with a half-smile and said, “I didn’t see it before, but it seems the Immortal is also someone with deep contemplations.”

Liu Huaxian blushed slightly, then an apologetic look appeared on her face.

She stood up, bowed to Lin Feng, and said, “Xian’er was truly at her wit’s end with Su Ling’s pestering. I hope you can forgive Xian’er for her actions today.”

As Liu Huaxian spoke, she seemed about to cry.

Lin Feng didn’t believe that Liu Huaxian would shed “real tears.”

This woman was quite cunning.

Lin Feng had known that Su Ling was pursuing Liu Huaxian, and that their relationship seemed quite amicable. Although Liu Huaxian hadn’t agreed to Su Ling, she hadn’t rejected him either.

Reflecting on today’s events, Lin Feng realized something was amiss.

The cause seemed to be his refusal to examine the stone material for Liu Huaxian.

Su Ling stood up for Liu Huaxian.

And things escalated between them to the point of physical confrontation.

When Su Ling was about to take action against him, Liu Huaxian stepped in and sided with him.

She even told Su Ling quite heartlessly, “This matter has nothing to do with you, Su Ling; don’t meddle.”

Originally, Lin Feng thought Liu Huaxian was a good person, willing to fall out with Su Ling to defend him. But thinking about it later, something seemed off.

Logically, Liu Huaxian’s relationship with Su Ling far surpassed her relationship with him.

If a conflict arose,

Liu Huaxian standing on Su Ling’s side would be more likely.

But Liu Huaxian stood by him.

Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that Liu Huaxian was truly a woman overflowing with a sense of justice, but this assumption didn’t hold either.

Even if Liu Huaxian’s sense of justice was overflowing, with her wisdom, the best method would have been to say some “tactful and gentle” words to persuade Su Ling, rather than coldly rebuke him with a demeanor of if you dare to act against Lin Feng, we sever all ties.

Su Ling is inherently a jealous person. Seeing Liu Huaxian defend Lin Feng like this, how could he tolerate it? All his rationality vanished instantly.

So afterward, Lin Feng felt that Liu Huaxian had done it intentionally!

She was deliberately provoking Su Ling, deepening the conflict between Su Ling and himself.

Isn’t this cunning?

If Lin Feng hadn’t been accustomed to deception, he wouldn’t have realized he had been manipulated by Liu Huaxian.

…

Seeing Lin Feng just smiling without speaking, Liu Huaxian, with tears in her eyes, said, “Xian’er’s family is merely an Ancient Family. Since Su Ling saw Xian’er, he has been entangled endlessly. His family’s influence is enormous, and his mother’s clan is an Ancient Force. How can a small family like ours dare to offend them?”

“If Su Ling were a man of integrity, Xian’er wouldn’t mind marrying him, but Su Ling’s personality is sinister and jealous, ruthless. While pursuing Xian’er, he might treat her like a treasure, but once obtained, he will certainly discard her, as Xian’er has seen too many such characters, and can predict the miserable future if she were to follow him.”

“Seeing you as if a Heavenly God descended, Xian’er knew you could help her escape his clutches, so she meticulously devised a plan, not expecting that you, with your discerning eyes, would immediately see through Xian’er’s intentions. Now Xian’er only hopes for your forgiveness. If you forgive Xian’er, whatever you desire, Xian’er can agree to.”

Saying this, her face blushed, as if hinting something at Lin Feng.

We live in this world.

Oftentimes, we are beyond our own control.

We don’t live just for ourselves, but also for our family and loved ones.

Like Liu Huaxian, if it were just for herself, she could easily turn against Su Ling.

But what about her family?

“Do you know what is most precious to a woman?” Lin Feng stood up and looked at Liu Huaxian.

Liu Huaxian’s face turned red with embarrassment.

She stammered, finding it hard to speak.

Seeing Liu Huaxian’s expression, Lin Feng knew she guessed wrong.

He shook his head helplessly and then said, “It’s tears…”

“A woman’s tears are the most heart-wrenching and priceless thing. I won’t blame you for today’s incident, because I never liked Su Ling, and dealing with him was inevitable. Let’s part ways here.”

Lin Feng cupped his hands in a gesture.

Liu Huaxian said, “Could Young Master possibly help Xian’er look at a piece of stone material?”

Lin Feng replied indifferently, “I can certainly examine the stone material, but whatever is cut from it, I want half.”

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Liu Huaxian instantly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, biting her silver teeth, placing her hands on her hips, and said, “Why don’t you just go rob me?”

Her fierce manner now was in stark contrast to her poetic image before.

Yet it added a hint of playful cuteness.

Lin Feng laughed and said, “If you don’t want to agree, perhaps you can spend ten days with me, and I’ll help you with the stone material?”

After saying that, Lin Feng’s eyes drifted over parts of Liu Huaxian’s body that were quite sensitive.

Liu Huaxian felt as if a large hand was caressing her body, causing her sensitive body to tremble slightly.

Her pretty face turned red as she angrily shouted, “You lecher! Do you believe I’ll scoop your eyes out?”

With those words, she quickly crossed her arms over her chest.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, “I was just joking with you; no need for such a strong reaction, right? Back to business, if my guess is correct, this piece of stone material has something to do with a Shadow Demon Beast, doesn’t it?”

“How do you know?” Liu Huaxian’s face changed slightly.

Then, surprised, she said, “That night, did the Shadow Demon Beast really come after you? Did you drive it away?”

Lin Feng nodded and said, “The more precious the stone material, the less it should be cut recklessly. If nothing comes out, that’s one thing, but if something that should not be revealed is unveiled, it would be terrifying. Imagine the massacre it could cause. Think about it carefully, and if you decide you want my help, you can find me at the Qilian Family.”

Lin Feng left and headed to the Qilian Family. The Qilian Family Estate spanned thousands of acres, extraordinarily vast, filled with countless guests and family members.

Of course, this was not the core Ancestral Land of the Qilian Family, whose true location was unknown.

But the Qilian Family in Holy Stone City was filled with experts, with even the Eternal Giant Qilian Xun personally overseeing it.

When Lin Feng arrived outside the Qilian Family, he was blocked from entering.

“Kid? The Qilian Family cannot be trespassed. Leave at once,” a guard said sternly.

Lin Feng was about to explain his purpose.

Suddenly, from a distance came the roars of beasts. A dozen Exotic Beasts approached, and from them, a dozen young princes dismounted.

“It’s the Princes of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty,” many guards exclaimed and quickly went to call for stewards to meet them.
