Chapter 489: Is it a Misunderstanding?
Ling Feng looked down from his superior position at Sun Lei, and with a cold laugh, asked, "I should be the one asking you that question. What kind of background do you have that makes you so arrogant?"
"You can’t even begin to imagine my background. Although you have a cultivation technique by your side, you’ve already gotten yourself into big trouble!" Sun Lei clenched his teeth, enduring the severe pain as he spoke.
"Oh, do tell?"
Ling Feng asked leisurely and methodically.
"First, stop the bleeding for me!"
Though Sun Lei was arrogant, he knew that being stubborn in the current situation wouldn’t end well for him. With five or six wounds on his body, none of them fatal but bleeding nonetheless, he was beginning to feel dizzy.
So the most important thing now was to save his own life; the settling of scores with Ling Feng could come later.
But despite his request, Ling Feng paid no attention and with a smile said, "Forget it then, not killing you outright was already merciful enough on my part. Now you expect me to stop your bleeding? Have you gone mad?"
Having said that, he turned around and went back to Xun Qianqian’s side.
Xun Daqiang and his wife were already scared witless, standing and staring blankly, not daring to speak a word, looking bewilderedly at him and their daughter.
Meanwhile, the commotion had disturbed the villagers; many of them stood peering over the walls, stealing glances in their direction, quietly discussing something.
Xun Qianqian looked at Ling Feng, "What do we do now?"
"Do nothing, we wait. I want to see just what kind of background this kid really has," Ling Feng replied with a smile.
"Oh, let’s see if my parents know anything."
Xun Qianqian said, then turned back to her parents and asked in a stern voice, "Dad, Mom, how do you know Sun Lei?"
"He, he’s your father’s boss’s son. We only know he’s a rich second generation, nothing else. What was all that just now?" Xun’s mother asked, a look of bewilderment on her face.
"It’s nothing, Ling Feng just taught him a lesson," Xun Qianqian said indifferently.
Xun’s mother looked at her daughter incredulously, almost as if she didn’t recognize her, "How can you be so unfazed? That was a close call with death!"
"It doesn’t matter, he deserved to die anyway!"
Xun Qianqian smiled and turned back to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng had overheard their conversation and realized that Xun Daqiang and his wife also didn’t know much about Sun Lei’s identity, so he furrowed his brows. Pondering, he could not recall anyone with the Sun surname in the county town being so formidable.
As he was thinking, the roaring sound of car engines in the distance got closer, followed by three off-road vehicles speeding towards them.
Sun Lei, who had been clenching his teeth up until then, suddenly relaxed his face and exhaled.
He knew that rescue had arrived.
The cars stopped and eight or nine people jumped out, led by a man in black clothes. Seeing his condition, the man cried out in alarm and quickly ran over!
"Young Master, what happened to you? Who did this?"
With a pale face, Sun Lei was helped up and, staring at Ling Feng, said, "It was him. Don’t do anything, call my master immediately!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Ling Feng and knew that if someone was capable of inflicting such damage on Sun Lei, the people he brought were certainly no match. He immediately took out his phone.
Ling Feng remained unmoved, his brow furrowing at the scene before him, his mind musing whether there would be an end to this or if yet more people would be summoned.
"Old Master, this is Ah Ping. The young master has been beaten up, with five or six knife wounds..."
The middle-aged man named Ah Ping reported the situation over the phone and then placed the phone next to Sun Lei’s ear.
"Master, this man is powerful. Not only is his realm similar to mine, but he also has a mysterious Qi Force protecting him. The Dragon’s Edge you gave me couldn’t even break his defense!"
"Okay, I’ll be waiting."
After the call, Sun Lei stood up with Ah Ping’s support, and immediately someone came forward to help bandage his wounds.
Ling Feng just looked on with an indifferent gaze, then asked, "So, should I continue waiting now?"
"You can leave, but if you do, the Xun couple will have to take responsibility for this matter!" Sun Lei’s eyes were like those of a venomous snake as he spoke in a cold voice.
Ling Feng uttered an "oh," smiling as he said, "Then I’d better wait a bit longer and see if your master can take me down when he arrives!"
Sun Lei clenched his teeth, "Don’t worry, you’ll die a very miserable death!"
Seeing the situation had come to this, Xun Qianqian, somewhat worried, tugged at Ling Feng’s sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Should we inform the Public Security Bureau?"
"No need, personal grudges have nothing to do with official matters, I can handle this myself!" Ling Feng shook his head.
"But what if his master is really powerful?" Xun Qianqian asked.
Ling Feng glanced at her, "Silly girl, if we can’t beat him, we have other ways, like Wang Cai!"
"Huh?"
With this reminder, Xun Qianqian’s eyes lit up, and she got the point!
So, she immediately became elated!
Having been watching the two coldly from the side, Sun Lei, seeing them talking and laughing as if they didn’t care at all about what was to come, suddenly felt anxious!
"Keep laughing, enjoy your laughter now while you can, because soon you’ll have only tears!"
Ling Feng couldn’t be bothered with him, and pinched Xun Qianqian’s hand, "Tell your parents to go back to the room, and tell them not to worry, nothing will happen."
"Alright."
Xun Qianqian nodded, went back to her parents, and pulled the two back into the house.
Twenty minutes later, another car drove in from outside the village. Seeing this, Sun Lei immediately wore a triumphant smile and stood up, ignoring the pain from the wound on his leg.
Ling Feng was also drawn to the car, thinking that since it was his master, the old man had to be at least a Qi Force master, but who could this impressive figure be?
While he was guessing, the car stopped, and then a rosy-cheeked old man got out.
Following him was a middle-aged man. Just as he appeared, Ling Feng’s eyes widened, "Why is it him?"
He knew the middle-aged man—it was none other than Lu Zixuan!
At this moment, Lu Zixuan also saw Ling Feng, and as their eyes met, both were taken aback.
The old man didn’t notice this scene and stepped up to Sun Lei, carefully examining his wound.
Finally having someone to rely on, Sun Lei then said with a sobbing voice, "Master, you must stand up for your disciple!"
The old man didn’t speak, but turned his head to look at Ling Feng, "Was it you who injured my disciple?"
His tone was icy, his gaze piercing, as if he wanted to kill.
Seeing his demeanor, Ling Feng immediately lost interest in responding.
It was understandable to want to protect one’s own disciples, but to seek retribution without knowing the facts was just being blindly protective.
Didn’t he even ask why Sun Lei was beaten?
So Ling Feng ignored him and turned to Lu Zixuan, "What’s the meaning of this? Are all these people from the Lu Family?"
"That... sort of," Lu Zixuan said, his face somewhat embarrassed, as he asked with a placating smile, "Mr. Ling, could there be some misunderstanding here?"
Ling Feng sneered, "A misunderstanding? How could that be? Your Lu Family’s people are very arrogant, always behaving like bullies wherever they go. Is this the Lu Family’s family style?"
