Qian Hua urgently helped Lin Feng ask. The old man looked like he didn’t fully understand the situation, but he still pointed them in a direction. Qian Hua pulled out a piece of silver and said:

"Thank you."

When he was about to leave with Lin Feng, he realized Lin Feng’s figure was no longer there. Qian Hua anxiously pounded his own palm and sighed.

Thinking how careless he was, and wondering how he would explain if Brother Lin got lost.

However, after thinking it over, Lin Feng could only be trying to find Su Liqian, following the direction the old man pointed, so he thought it over and chased in that direction.

Lin Feng arrived at a noble manor and saw a group of armed plainclothes soldiers in front of a lady dressed in a pink skirt. The lady’s back resembled Su Liqian’s, so he charged straight into the manor. The two guards at the door couldn’t stop him; they didn’t even react before Lin Feng had already immobilized them with a point of his finger. The other armed men immediately drew their weapons and were about to attack Lin Feng, but the colorful-clothed lady immediately stopped them.

The colorful-clothed lady said to the armed men behind her in her elegant and delicate voice: "Stop, none of you are his match."

Her voice had the grandeur of a noble, calm and confident, with an assuredness in her own judgment.

The armed men looked at each other, seemingly doubtful of the colorful-clothed lady’s words, so a couple of them began to probe Lin Feng.

They used their spiritual sense to probe Lin Feng for a long time, but couldn’t gauge Lin Feng’s cultivation level. One by one, they were dumbfounded.

In the path of cultivation, when facing someone a major level higher, it is impossible to probe the other. At this moment, their probing with spiritual sense toward Lin Feng for such a long time was already considered impolite. Lin Feng looked at their bewildered expressions and smiled faintly. But when he saw the young lady’s face, he realized he had mistaken someone in his urgency, and quickly responded with a bow:

"My apologies, Miss, I mistook you for someone else." Then he prepared to turn and leave when someone next to the colorful-clothed lady shouted at Lin Feng: "Boy! Do you know in front of whom you stand?"

Lin Feng was taken aback, but though the person was extremely impolite, Lin Feng did not get angry. After all, he was the one who offended first, so he maintained his courtesy.

"I seek instruction."

The armed man puffed out his chest and said to Lin Feng: "The person before you is the current Princess....."

The armed man was interrupted by the colorful-clothed lady before he could finish. Her face was beautifully delicate and distinctive, her enchanting eyes as clear as springs, her demeanor elegant and speech graceful, emitting an aura of nobility.

She skillfully continued her subordinate’s sentence: "The Princess is my good sister, did the gentleman mistake me for her?"

Lin Feng responded: "I beg your pardon."

After he spoke, Lin Feng prepared to leave, without explaining the truth, leaving ambiguously.

The colorful-clothed lady misunderstood, thinking he was there to find the Princess, while Lin Feng was there to find his beloved wife.

Seeing Lin Feng about to leave, the colorful-clothed lady said to him: "Since you have come, why not come in for a while? It won’t be a wasted trip."

Seeing the colorful-clothed lady insist, Lin Feng found it hard to refuse. Since he couldn’t possibly say he was there to find Su Liqian, which would inevitably lead to more misunderstandings or unsolicited ridicule from others.

So he followed the colorful-clothed lady’s suggestion to go in first for a look.

Inside was fresh and elegant, exquisitely crafted. Such decoration could not belong to an ordinary household. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Lin Feng surmised that this was surely the sophistication of a noble family; otherwise, they would not act so understated. All those present were masters with cultivation levels above the Five Spirit Knot, even one who was a Seven Spirit Knot. Such experts within the Central State Territory were considered first-rate.

Only in the borderlands, where battles raged year-round, could one see experts like Lin Feng, who was at an Eight or Nine Spirit Joints level. Generally, within the Mortal World, formidable figures gathered.

Experts above Eight Spirit Joints in the Mortal World were one in a million, and Lin Feng’s cultivation level was among the only ten in the Human Realm.

However, in the vast world, nothing is absolute. Perhaps in Central State, some hidden predecessors and peerless experts exist unbeknownst.

Furthermore, a chivalrous heart should not disregard others simply because one’s cultivation is high. Therefore, Lin Feng continued to conduct himself cautiously, never arrogantly.

Even if the Mortal World had no masters, within the Six Realms, powerful practitioners were plenty. For instance, in the Desolate Realm, generals whose power equaled ordinary Nine Spirit Joints of the Mortal World, and could even crush those at the peak of Nine Spirit Joints. If not for fearing Lin Feng’s remarkable strength, and with the Mortal World’s army yet to be deployed but already broken up by the Six Great Sects, retreat was naturally chosen.

The colorful-clothed lady and Lin Feng took their seats, and a maid naturally came forward to pour tea for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded at the maid, who politely smiled at him before stepping back beside the colorful-clothed lady.

The colorful-clothed lady said to Lin Feng: "Please try this fine tea from Yuhua City, it’s a rare delicacy."
