I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!-Chapter 90 Her Heavenly Peaks are Hard to Scale
Should I try my luck with Young Master Lin Feng? she mused inwardly. Seduce him... become his woman... and enjoy a life of unimaginable riches?
But then her eyes flicked to the competition... Teacher Ning Xi, radiant and determined, and the formidable Qi Condensation Realm expert, Ye Jian.
The contrast was immediate and harsh.
She shook her head, a wry smile tugging at her lips.
She might be pretty, but compared to these two women, it was like comparing mud to gold.
The odds were laughably, hopelessly against her.
The waitress froze for a brief moment, eyes widening imperceptibly, before quickly regaining her professional composure.
She wrote everything down carefully, bowing politely as she finished.
"Your order will be prepared immediately," she said respectfully before leaving the room.
A moment of silence followed.
It was Ye Jian who spoke first, her voice calm yet probing.
"I think I understand now how you intend to drive the Li Clan away, Teacher Lin Feng," she said, her sharp gaze fixed on him.
"No one would dare harm you... not when you’ve wrapped yourself in such a thick fog of mystery."
Her words clearly hinted at his apparent wealth in spirit stones and the implication that he might belong to a hidden ancient clan or possess an extraordinary backing that no one dared to provoke lightly.
The more she observed him, the more convinced she became that Lin Feng was far from ordinary.
I suppose I’ll have quite a lot to report to the Dean once today is over, Ye Jian thought inwardly.
Lin Feng smiled faintly, his expression relaxed, almost amused.
"I merely do what I must, Teacher Ye Jian," he replied calmly. "As for others... especially the Li Clan they don’t appear in my eyes at all, nor do they bother me in the slightest."
He leaned back comfortably in his seat, resting one arm along the chair’s side, his posture loose and unguarded.
He released a slow, satisfied breath, as though he were already savoring the meal to come.
"Right now," he continued lazily, "I’m far more interested in the food that will arrive in a few moments than in any clan, any grudge, or any petty feud."
Ye Jian studied him in silence for a moment longer, her expression thoughtful.
A moment later, it was Ye Jian’s turn to question Lin Feng, much like Ning Xi had done last Saturday.
Lin Feng, as always, remained calm, composed, and utterly unflustered, answering her questions with the same quiet assurance.
Yet, even as the conversation unfolded, it began to take a direction that neither Lin Feng nor Ning Xi had anticipated.
"I’ve read from your records that your family lives in a remote place called Silent Mountain Village," Ye Jian began, her tone steady, probing, yet measured.
She had at least reviewed Lin Feng’s basic information from a jade slip. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Are they truly your family, or are they merely a facade... a cover for the life you’ve been leading here at the academy?"
She was far from naive.
She had already deduced much... the same point Ning Xi had reached previously.
From what she had gathered, it was highly likely that Lin Feng hailed from a hidden ancient clan, a lineage that had long since closed its doors to the mortal world.
Such a background could explain many things about him... his impressive skills in meridian sealing arts, the ease with which he carried himself in situations others would find perilous, and, of course, the seemingly endless wealth of spirit stones he had amassed.
"They are my real family," Lin Feng replied calmly, shaking his head slightly. "But... our situation is rather complicated."
It was a measured response, simple on the surface, yet layered with intention.
It offered enough truth to satisfy casual curiosity, yet diverted attention from matters he did not wish to reveal.
To anyone perceptive and Ye Jian was certainly perceptive... it was immediately clear.
This was a topic Lin Feng did not intend to discuss.
She nodded slightly, acknowledging the unspoken limits.
The conversation paused briefly, an unspoken understanding hanging in the air.
A full minute later and it resumed.
"I see... and what about the matter you d—" Ye Jian continued, her questions flowing with natural curiosity, each one probing deeper into aspects of Lin Feng’s life and abilities.
Lin Feng, as always, answered calmly and thoroughly, addressing every question with precision and clarity.
His responses were measured, thoughtful, and often went beyond what she expected, revealing layers of insight, experience, and subtle strategy.
It was clear that he was not only well-prepared but also fully in control of the conversation, guiding it effortlessly while keeping the upper hand.
While the conversation between Ye Jian and Lin Feng continued, Ning Xi couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, a faint frown forming on her face.
She didn’t particularly like how Teacher Ye Jian was openly probing Lin Feng, asking pointed questions and showing a curiosity that seemed far more personal than professional.
There was a sharpness in Ye Jian’s eyes, a focused interest that made Ning Xi’s chest tighten with unease.
Does Teacher Ye Jian... like Lin Feng too?
Ning Xi’s thoughts raced, panic bubbling up inside her.
The idea seemed ridiculous, yet the way Ye Jian studied him, with that calm intensity, made Ning Xi’s heart beat faster.
She could almost feel the invisible tension between them, and for a moment, jealousy clawed at her chest.
Her eyes flicked around, almost instinctively, searching for reassurance... and they landed on Ye Jian’s chest.
Ning Xi couldn’t help but notice how impressive Ye Jian’s figure was, her twin assets full and commanding, a presence that drew attention without effort.
Ning Xi’s brows lifted slightly as she compared herself in her mind.
By comparison, she realized with a quiet smirk, her own figure was more modest.
A small, relieved smile tugged at Ning Xi’s lips.
Ah... I’m safe, she thought, letting out an almost imperceptible breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding.
Lin Feng definitely wouldn’t be interested in Teacher Ye Jian. He doesn’t like... big ones after all.
