I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!-Chapter 129 The Ancestor Demands Your Forehead
"Come in. The door’s open," Lin Feng said calmly, not even bothering to rise from his seat.
If it had been one of the restaurant’s waitresses, there would have been no hesitation.
They would have entered immediately with practiced smiles and professional grace.
But the careful, almost restrained knocking told him this visitor was different... someone uncertain, or perhaps cautious.
Creak...
The wooden door slowly swung inward.
Standing there was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Her long, curly red hair cascaded down her back like flowing flames, contrasting strikingly against the deep velvet of her cultivator’s robes.
The fabric was of obvious high quality, hugging her figure in a way that was elegant rather than vulgar, yet it did nothing to conceal the natural curves beneath.
Her face carried the pure softness of an innocent angel... smooth skin, bright eyes, and delicate features that radiated gentleness.
And yet, that innocence only amplified her allure.
There was a mature sensuality in the way she stood, in the subtle rise and fall of her chest, in the faint fragrance that drifted into the room with her presence.
It was the kind of beauty that could awaken reckless thoughts in even the most disciplined cultivators.
She was stunning... so much so that words felt insufficient to fully capture her presence.
Most men would have already lost their composure.
Lin Feng did not.
He simply looked at her, his gaze steady and unhurried, as though assessing nothing more than an unexpected guest.
After meeting Qiao Mei and especially after witnessing Wang Yuyan’s charm reach its peak earlier that day... his resistance to beauty had been thoroughly tempered.
At this point, it would be easier to swallow the entire ocean than to stir either his heart or his desires with mere appearance alone.
His expression remained calm, almost indifferent.
He picked up his teacup, taking a slow sip as if she were not a breathtaking woman standing at his doorway, but simply another matter to be addressed.
"Teacher Lin Feng, I apologize for coming uninvited," the woman said, lowering her gaze slightly in a gesture of courtesy.
Her voice was soft, clear, and refined.
"But I have a matter of grave importance to discuss with you. Could you spare a few minutes of your time?"
Even as she spoke with humility, her eyes quietly observed him.
There was no change in his breathing. No flicker of surprise. No obvious appreciation for her beauty.
That surprised her.
Ordinarily, men reacted within seconds. Some would stiffen awkwardly.
Others would smile too eagerly, their eyes betraying their thoughts.
A few would attempt to show off their status or strength in subtle ways.
Lin Feng did none of that.
He looked at her the way one might look at a passing cloud... aware, but unmoved.
Half of the conversational approaches she had prepared on her way here instantly became useless.
She had expected composure, perhaps even arrogance.
After all, a man who could defeat a peak Qi Condensation expert and remain unscathed was no ordinary figure.
Still, seeing it firsthand was different.
Top-tier men truly had the capital to remain indifferent.
"I have time," Lin Feng replied after a brief pause. His tone was steady, without warmth or hostility. "Please, take a seat."
He gestured lightly with one hand, the movement calm and unhurried.
"Thank you," she answered with a gentle smile.
She stepped fully into the private room, closing the door softly behind her.
The faint scent of her perfume... something delicate yet intoxicating... lingered in the air as she approached the table.
Her velvet cultivator’s robes flowed smoothly with each step, outlining her curves without appearing vulgar.
She sat gracefully across from him, maintaining a composed posture.
Her back was straight, her hands resting neatly atop the table. Even in stillness, she radiated elegance.
"I must apologize once more, Teacher Lin Feng," she said after settling down.
"My name is Li Zhiyan. I have come here today because I wish to propose something to you."
As she introduced herself, she carefully watched for any reaction when she mentioned her surname.
Li.
The same Li Clan that had recently clashed with him.
Across from her, Lin Feng calmly lifted his teacup and took a slow sip.
His expression did not change in the slightest.
But internally, he noted the detail.
Li Zhiyan.
So she was connected to them.
Interesting.
She studied his face briefly. He was undeniably handsome... refined features, sharp brows, eyes that carried depth rather than arrogance.
There was a quiet authority about him, the kind that did not need to announce itself.
Yet as attractive as he was, her heart remained calm.
The men who pursued her were not lacking either.
Many were heirs of powerful families, talented cultivators, and renowned geniuses.
She had long grown accustomed to exceptional men.
Still... this one felt different.
Not because of overwhelming charisma.
But because of restraint.
"I’m listening," Lin Feng said at last, setting his teacup down with a soft clink.
His gaze met hers directly... steady, unreadable.
He did not ask about her connection to the Li Clan. He did not question her intentions.
He simply waited.
The calmness in his demeanor subtly shifted the balance of the conversation.
Though she had come prepared to negotiate, she suddenly felt as if she were the one being evaluated.
Li Zhiyan took a quiet breath.
"My clan has heard about the conflict between you and one of our members," Li Zhiyan began, her tone composed and formal.
"After a thorough internal inquiry, we have concluded that Li Tianhao was in the wrong. His actions were rash and brought unnecessary trouble."
She paused briefly before continuing.
"The Li Clan acknowledges this mistake. In order to prevent further misunderstandings and to express our sincerity, the elders have decided to offer reparations."
Her lashes lowered.
"I was sent here as a gesture of goodwill. From this day forward, I am to serve you in whatever capacity you deem appropriate. I will carry out my duties faithfully and to the best of my ability."
