Chapter 98: Fox Spirit, The Legendary Fox Spirit!
Master Huanglong quickly took out a notebook and smiled apologetically, “If the young master is interested, I will gift it to you.”
Lin Fengmian smiled in satisfaction, “Considering your good attitude and that you are a first-time offender, I will forgive you this time.”
He returned the same words that Master Huanglong had used earlier when he thought he had the upper hand.
Master Huanglong’s face really turned yellow, but he had to grit his teeth and say, “Thank you, young master, for your magnanimity!”
Lin Fengmian patted Master Huanglong’s shoulder, “Master, the waters of this world are deep, you can’t handle it. You still have a long way to go.”
Master Huanglong felt humiliated, “Thank you for the advice, young master. I will remember it.”
Lin Fengmian knew when to stop; after all, Master Huanglong was a cultivator of the Core Formation Realm, and although he wasn’t afraid, his family members might be.
“Since it was a misunderstanding, we won’t bother the master anymore.”
Master Huanglong bowed, “Then I will take my leave.”
He dragged Lu Xun and fled like a defeated army.
Although they looked dignified when they came, they now looked like they were fleeing in panic.
Seeing this scene, the relatives who had been wavering before were now smiling as brightly as flowers.
Even the usually stern Uncle Lin Wenlu came over to toast Lin Fengmian with a glass of wine, his demeanor extremely friendly.
“Fengmian, can you see if my son Junyan can cultivate? He’s family, you know…”
“Right, what about my son Hongyu? He is very smart.”
…
It seemed that Lin Fengmian’s show of strength had made a deep impression on them, and they all began to plan how to get their children to cultivate.
He couldn’t help but laugh as he shook his head, “Even though I have left the sect, the sect’s techniques should not be taught to outsiders. I am sorry to disappoint all the elders.”
The relatives were obviously disappointed, but they still chatted with Lin Fengmian, their attitude completely different from before.
This was someone even Master Huanglong respected!
In their eyes, Master Huanglong was like a god.
Lin Fengmian could make Master Huanglong eat humble pie, what kind of existence was that?
An hour later, Lin Fengmian finally managed to send the relatives away, and collapsed in his seat, without any regard for his image.
His head was still buzzing with questions from his aunts and uncles.
From the looks of it, Lin Fengmian’s deeds would spread throughout Ning City within one night.
Lin Fengmian sighed in resignation, but he had been patient with them because he needed to prepare them for the upcoming move to leave Ning City.
Li Zhuxuan couldn’t help but laugh, “I think by tomorrow, our threshold will be trampled by matchmakers.”
Lin Fengmian felt his head ache, “Father, Mother, please don’t interfere in my love life. I’ve already found the woman I want to spend my life with.
Li Zhuxuan pouted, “You kid, you can fool outsiders, but do you think you can fool your mother?”
Lin Fengmian was speechless and rubbed his temples, feeling as if his head was twice its size.
Xia Yunxi gently reached out to massage his temples, her voice soft yet serious, “Auntie, Brother and I are sincere, we were not just putting on a show.”
Li Zhuxuan looked at Lin Fengmian and Xia Yunxi in surprise, “Son, did you really mean it?”
She had always thought that Xia Yunxi and the others were just supporting Lin Fengmian’s facade, but it seemed like this was for real?
Lin Fengmian rolled his eyes and smiled as he hugged Xia Yunxi, “Mother, what do you think of the daughter-in-law I brought for you? Isn’t she beautiful?”
Xia Yunxi blushed, feeling shy and anxious as she looked at Li Zhuxuan, not knowing what to say.
Li Zhuxuan immediately looked at Xia Yunxi with shining eyes, and said with a smile: “Satisfied, satisfied!”
She pulled Xia Yunxi closer and smiled, “Girl, where is your hometown? How old are you this year?”
Xia Yunxi was not used to such warmth, but still replied softly, “My hometown is in the Wu Kingdom, I am eighteen this year…”
Li Zhuxuan’s demeanor was kind and gentle, completely different from the way she treated Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian rolled his eyes, “Mother, is that how you are? What if you scare away my Yunxi?”
Lin Wencheng said helplessly, “Let’s go back first, otherwise we’ll be caught by the curfew!”
Li Zhuxuan nodded, “Right, let’s go back to the mansion first.”
Lin Fengmian frowned, “Why did the city impose a curfew? What’s going on?”
He had noticed fewer people than usual during the banquet, and now there was a curfew.
Lin Wencheng sighed, “Fengmian, you’ve just returned and don’t know that there have been demons in the city for the past few months, causing many casualties and spreading panic.”
“Many cultivators were invited to deal with the demon, but they couldn’t handle it. It was only after Master Huanglong arrived that the demon’s rampage subsided.”
“That’s why your uncle Zhao holds Master Huanglong in such high esteem. Only a few people in the city know this, so don’t spread it around.”
Lin Fengmian and the others frowned. Wen Qinlin thought, “No wonder I felt a faint demonic aura when I entered the city; I thought it was my imagination.”
Zhou Xiaoping’s eyes lit up, “Uncle Lin, what kind of demon is in the city?”
Lin Wencheng looked at the young girl, realized that she was also a cultivator, and decided to be honest.
“Many people in town have seen the demon; some say it’s a charming woman, others say it’s a man, different descriptions.”
“However, Master Huanglong fought the demon and said that it was a thousand-year-old fox spirit that was causing trouble, and it hadn’t been captured yet.”
Zhou Xiaoping’s eyes sparkled, a fox spirit, a legendary fox spirit!
For a novice like her, the appeal of killing demons and protecting people was immense.
As they talked, they arrived at the door. Li Zhuxuan pulled Xia Yunxi with a smile, “Miss Xia, let’s share a carriage? We can keep each other company and chat on the way.”
Xia Yunxi was about to agree when Lin Fengmian quickly grabbed her.
“Mother, I need to discuss something with Yunxi and the others!”
Li Zhuxuan was helpless, thinking that they might be discussing the fox ghost matter, so she didn’t insist.
Lin Fengmian wiped his cold sweat; this was close!
If Xia Yunxi had gone with Li Zhuxuan, she might have been asked about the color of her underwear.
He couldn’t tell them about joining the Joyful Union Sect; it would only make them worry.
It wasn’t that Lin Fengmian didn’t trust Xia Yunxi, but he knew how cunning his mother was.
The four of them boarded the carriage. Lin Fengmian’s expression became serious as he asked, “Brother Wen, Sister Xiaoping, what do you think about this fox spirit matter?”
Zhou Xiaoping tried to suppress her excitement and said seriously, “Brother Lin, this demon is wreaking havoc in the human world. As cultivators, it is our duty to kill demons and protect the people!”
