Chapter 75: Playing around? I’m afraid you can’t handle it!
Lin Fengmian looked at the tiny hut and felt a bit amused.
This place was really incompatible with the stunningly beautiful Xia Yunxi, making Lin Fengmian understand the meaning of “a bright pearl cast into darkness” for the first time.
Xia Yunxi shook her head, “Brother, I’m not that precious. If you can live here, then so can I.”
Lin Fengmian smiled, not wanting Xia Yunxi to be trapped here. He reached out and pulled her up, smiling, “Come on, let’s take a walk first.”
Xia Yunxi nodded and followed him out of the room.
As they walked out, they immediately attracted many stares, most of which were focused on Xia Yunxi.
These gazes were of various types, some covetous, some salivating, some greedy, all of which were uncomfortable.
Someone recognized Lin Fengmian and Xia Yunxi and sneered, “Oh, isn’t that the heartless man who abandoned his wife and child?”
“Haha, that woman is really beautiful. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to resist either.”
“Kid, how about giving me your sweetheart to play with? I’ll give you one hundred taels of gold.”
…
Xia Yunxi couldn’t help but grab Lin Fengmian’s hand when she heard those vulgar words.
Lin Fengmian indifferently said, “You better watch your mouth, or it might not be on your body the next second.”
The crowd laughed even louder, with someone heckling, “This handsome guy has quite a temper. I just said it, what can you do about it?”
“That’s right, you have such a handsome face, quite to my liking. I don’t want your wife, how about you play with me?”
…
Lin Fengmian smiled slightly, raised his hand, and clenched it. The man who had spoken wildly was lifted into the air and struggled.
He tightened his grip slightly and smiled playfully, “Playing around? I’m afraid you can’t handle it!”
The burly man struggled in the air, his hands trying to pry something off his neck, but there was nothing.
This was the Gravity Technique that Lin Fengmian had learned from Mo Ruyu’s explanation, which was effective for ordinary people, but only usable at the seventh level of qi condensation.
The others were scared by his move and realized that Lin Fengmian was a cultivator, although they didn’t know why he didn’t stay in the better rooms.
Lin Fengmian knew when to stop, and instead of humiliating the man further, he let him fall after making him look ridiculous.
This wasn’t out of mercy, but to avoid attracting the attention of the ship’s guards with excessive actions.
The man fell to the ground, his crotch wet, his eyes bulging, tears and snot streaming, and he was coughing incessantly.
Lin Fengmian slowly scanned the crowd and coldly said, “Next time, don’t blame me for being rude.”
He pulled Xia Yunxi through the crowd and left triumphantly.
To Liu Mei and others, he might just be an insect.
But to ordinary people, he was a cultivator with the power of life and death, which made all the difference.
Lin Fengmian didn’t look down on mortals, but he wouldn’t let them step on his face.
He led Xia Yunxi to the deck, where the ship’s cabin might be cramped, but the deck was quite spacious.
Standing on the deck with the wind blowing, the ship’s speed was fast, but the wind was filtered by the array, so it felt like a gentle breeze.
Xia Yunxi looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance and couldn’t help but feel cheerful and happy.
Although she felt a little guilty for her master, living in the Joyful Union Sect was not what she wanted.
She happily asked, “Brother, where are we going?”
Lin Fengmian realized that this girl hadn’t even asked where they were going before following him.
“First, we’re going back to my hometown to see my parents. We’ll ask the Heavenly Patrol Tower to protect them and make sure they’re okay. After that, we’ll travel around the world.”
Xia Yunxi suddenly looked at Lin Fengmian with concern, “Brother, you have to be careful. Senior Sister Liu said that you are someone the sect leader wants.”
Lin Fengmian frowned, “Sister Xia, do you know why?”
Xia Yunxi shook her head, “I also asked Senior Sister Liu, but she obviously didn’t know, only that Martial Aunt Zhao Ningzhi and the Sect Leader care about you.”
Lin Fengmian laughed bitterly, what merit did he have to deserve such special treatment?
Even though he had some confidence in his appearance, he wasn’t so handsome that he would move heaven and earth, was he?
What exactly was so special about him that the Joyful Union Sect treated him so differently?
But there was no point in overthinking. He should quickly arrange for his parents and clansmen to move so as not to get involved.
Would his parents and clansmen, who had lived their whole lives rooted in one place, really listen to him and move obediently?
When the wagon reaches the mountain, there will be a way. He’ll play it by ear.
He looked at Xia Yunxi and couldn’t help but sigh, “I’m sorry for hurting you.
Xia Yunxi smiled, “Brother, wherever you go, I’ll follow!”
Lin Fengmian flicked her nose and smiled, “You trust me so much, aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out?”
“I’m not afraid! Brother, you won’t be able to stand it!” Xia Yunxi hugged Lin Fengmian’s arm and smiled.
Lin Fengmian felt her attachment to him and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
The two of them leaned against each other, watching the distant scenery with clouds passing by their sides like a couple of immortals.
This scene didn’t last long, as a modest and polite voice broke the silence.
“You two friends are so elegant and refined, truly enviable.”
Lin Fengmian frowned and turned around in surprise to see a young man dressed in luxurious clothes standing behind them, holding a folding fan and smiling.
His gaze was fixed on Xia Yunxi, he was clearly attracted by her appearance.
Behind him were several servants with strong auras, indicating that they were either wealthy or noble.
Lin Fengmian frowned and said, “May I ask what this friend wants?”
The man closed his folding fan with a snap and bowed humbly, “I am Qin Haoxuan, and I have always liked to make friends.”
“Just now, I saw the two of you from upstairs and was attracted by your outstanding appearance, so I wanted to get to know you. I hope I didn’t bother you.”
Lin Fengmian thought to himself, knowing that you’re disturbing us, but still coming to spoil the mood, you really have no self-awareness.
However, the other party seemed to have a significant background, so he could only respond indifferently, “You’re flattering us.
Qin Haoxuan didn’t seem to mind the cold reception and asked with a smile, “May I ask what sect or school you two belong to?”
“None of your business!”
Lin Fengmian could only answer like this, after all, he couldn’t say that he was from the Joyful Union Sect, could he?
“Why are you so distant, friend? I have no bad intentions, I just want to make some friends.” Qin Haoxuan still had a gentle expression on his face.
Lin Fengmian secretly complained, “Yes, you don’t have bad intentions, you’re just attracted to beauty.”
“It’s always better to be cautious when traveling.”
Qin Haoxuan forced a conversation, “But as the saying goes, traveling with friends is fun. I really only want to make friends with you two.”
Lin Fengmian had no patience and smiled mockingly, “Do you want to get to know us or just my junior sister?”
