Super Soldier in Campus

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, Cao Tiannan is not as tough as Wang Yueqin and agreed to let him take Cao Ying, although he restricted them to spending the night at another Cao Family property.

Even so, Lin Feng could feel Cao Tiannan’s respect for Cao Ying’s opinion. After all, as the mayor’s daughter, Cao Ying wasn’t as free as a typical young girl.

"Alright! I’ll protect Cao Ying tonight and spend the night there..." Lin Feng agreed on behalf of Cao Ying, knowing this was Cao Tiannan’s bottom line. Generally, if he didn’t want to anger this second most influential man in Jiangzhou City, Lin Feng had to give him face.

"Lin Feng, remember your promise to me... Don’t do anything rash!" Just as he was about to hang up, Cao Tiannan suddenly said in a threatening tone.

Lin Feng naturally knew what Cao Tiannan meant... He promised Cao Tiannan that if he couldn’t be sure he could marry Cao Ying, he wouldn’t have the most intimate relationship with her — that was their agreement.

"Yes, Uncle Cao, I remember!" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile, his face serious.

"Give the phone to my wife; I have a few more words for her..."

Lin Feng handed the phone back to Wang Yueqin, immediately observing Wang Yueqin’s glaring expression as she argued unpleasantly with Cao Tiannan. She sneered, cast an angry glare at Lin Feng and Cao Ying, casually threw a key in front of Lin Feng, and stormed off.

Seeing Wang Yueqin leave, Jiang Fu dared not be careless, pushing himself despite his injuries to follow her.

"This is the key to my new house..." Cao Ying immediately recognized the key Wang Yueqin dropped, looked at Lin Feng with some surprise, "What did you say to my dad?"

"I agreed to take you home tonight without consulting you..." Lin Feng said hesitantly, smiling bitterly at Cao Ying, "You’re not angry, right?"

"So you know you agreed without consulting me!" Cao Ying pouted, slightly dissatisfied but not actually angry. Given the circumstances, she didn’t want to continue arguing with her mother, worried about both emotional impact and losing face in front of so many people.

After watching Wang Yueqin leave, Lin Feng didn’t care what Long Jiu and the others thought and directly picked up the key, taking Cao Ying with him.

Since it was late at night, exhaustion enveloped Cao Ying’s face. Lin Feng didn’t let her drive, and after confirming her address, he sat in the driver’s seat and drove towards the new house the Cao Family had in the suburbs.

Soon after hitting the road, Lin Feng suddenly noticed in the rearview mirror that a car was tailing them.

A faint smile curled at his lips, Lin Feng murmured, "Tonight is full of surprises, isn’t it? Just as one wave subsides, another arises. Who could be following me now?"

Lin Feng didn’t believe the followers were sent by Cao Tiannan, who already knew the destination was the Cao Family’s new house, making further surveillance unnecessary...

Feigning ignorance of the car behind him, Lin Feng floored the gas pedal. The Audi car elegantly drifted on the deserted road, accelerating with lightning speed, leaving the trailing car in a cloud of exhaust.

However, Lin Feng hadn’t driven far when he suddenly noticed two cars parked in the middle of the road ahead, blocking his path!

Combined with the previous tracking, everything seemed unusually bizarre.

It appeared the adversary had set up an ambush in advance. Lin Feng remained vigilant, parking the car in the middle of the road without acting rashly.

"Lin Feng, what’s going on? Why did you stop suddenly?" Sitting in the passenger seat, Cao Ying, eyes barely open, glanced at Lin Feng, asking sleepily.

"Nothing, keep sleeping..." Lin Feng said with a calm smile.

"Heh... Your composure is truly impressive, master who killed my apprentice. Probably, no one in Jiangzhou can rival your calmness..."

With the soft voice of a middle-aged man speaking, a tall man wearing a Taoism robe, nearly two meters tall, suddenly emerged from the darkness, revealing his appearance.

This was an elderly man with white hair and a beard. His gray robe glowed softly in the night, embroidered with numerous strange golden symbols, while the long sword at his waist stood out prominently...

"So it’s you!" Lin Feng recognized the speaker just by the voice, not needing to see the person’s face to know his background.

This tall Taoist should be a cultivator from Kongshan Temple, the master of Ming Yue the Taoist!

"I didn’t expect you would remember me; it’s an honor..." said the old Taoist calmly, "Since our last goodbye, I marveled at how, among mere mortals, there would be someone who could evade my Flying Sword. It should count as a modest achievement for a young person! Initially, I hoped when we next met, we’d become friends and chat deep into the night. Alas, who’d have thought our meeting today would be for me to personally end you!"

Separated by the windshield, Lin Feng coldly eyed the Taoist standing ten meters away, sneering, "You’re overconfident; whether you can kill me remains uncertain!"

"Oh?" The old Taoist didn’t exhibit any anger upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. Instead, he seriously scrutinized Lin Feng...

In an instant, Lin Feng felt a cold breath sweeping over him, as if all his secrets were fully exposed to the opponent.

"Ah, you have advanced to the Innate level... no wonder you’re so confident!" the Taoist commented flatly, "Unfortunately, you’ve just entered the Innate level, probably awakening only the governor and conception vessels. With such cultivation, it’s impossible to escape my grasp!"

"Awaken the governor and conception vessels?" Lin Feng was taken aback, evidently unfamiliar with this term. However, he could guess what the Taoist meant...

He recalled the moment he advanced to Innate, many meridians surfaced externally, forming an external circulation. Could that process be called awakening?

It seems he awakened more than just the governor and conception vessels? Lin Feng remembered awakening nearly 19 meridians, including the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary pulses, with only one Yinwei pulse remaining unawakened!

Could there be a substantial difference between being awakened and not awakened?

Lin Feng didn’t voice this question but noted it internally.

"Lin Feng, who’s this person?" Cao Ying, now awake from her previous sleepy state, looked nervously at the Taoist standing not far away, asking tensely.

"Just a passerby! Don’t worry, Cao Ying. Stay in the car and wait while I go have a chat with him..." Lin Feng turned, speaking seriously to Cao Ying.

Cao Ying was momentarily stunned. She couldn’t fathom why a passerby would stand in the middle of the road in the dead of night carrying a sword, nor understood what Lin Feng had to discuss with him. But she realized Lin Feng was quite tense and serious at that moment.

So, Cao Ying silently nodded.
