Chapter 5: A Good-for-Nothing

Xiao Lin listened to Xu Feng's words and let out a slight sigh of relief, but his eyes still looked at Xu Feng with surprise. This servant wasn't just bold; his words were sharp. Who didn't know that Li Hexuan liked to pretend to be a gentleman?

As everyone remained silent, Xu Feng calmly said again, "If you want to talk about peeping, you should ask this young lady's motives. A boy's innocence is just as important."

Hearing this, everyone almost burst out laughing, and even Xiao Lin wanted to kick Xu Feng. This bastard, what innocence do you have? After taking advantage, you still have the nerve to act like you're hurt. You really deserve a beating.

Li Hexuan, who had been maintaining his composure, also changed his expression and said with a snort, "We will naturally investigate whether you were the one peeping."

"Whatever!" Xu Feng said indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. As a servant, I still need to tend to the flowers and plants."

Hearing Xu Feng's words, Xiao Lin cursed inwardly, thinking that Xu Feng didn't know the first thing about tending to plants. If anything, he would probably destroy them. Just thinking about Xu Feng harming his fierce sister Xiao Yilin's flowers and plants made Xiao Lin wonder how she would react. However, Xu Feng was still a member of the Xiao family, and if he were to be punished, it would be up to the Xiao family to do it.

"Alright! You may leave. Just water the plants. And if you really did something to disgrace the family, I won't let you off," Xiao Lin said with a dark expression.

Seeing Xiao Lin's feigned severity but hidden protection, Xu Feng's opinion of him improved greatly.

"Yes, Young Master!" Xu Feng walked away.

Li Hexuan and Li Wei watched Xu Feng leave, glancing at Xiao Lin but ultimately not stopping him. However, their eyes were filled with a dark expression.

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Feng, who had reached the door, suddenly turned around and looked at the beautiful Xia Feixuan, "Hey! Even though you saw me, I don't need you to take responsibility."

Xia Feixuan's face turned red, her delicate face radiating a captivating beauty. Her eyes avoided his, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Damn..." Li Wei couldn't help but curse, thinking that this servant was really arrogant. Not taking responsibility? Does he think he's a pure and innocent girl? A toad dreaming of eating a swan!

"A servant actually dares to dream of eating a swan. How shameless."

"Exactly, and he's a good-for-nothing who hasn't even cultivated any mystic arts. He even dared to peep."

"This kid must have lost his mind. He used to be so weak, but now he dares to peep."

"Tsk, but he's pretty tough. He didn't die after being beaten up."

"Servants are servants, lowly and good-for-nothing. How dare he provoke young masters and misses? He's asking for death."

As Xu Feng left the hall, he heard murmurs behind him. Listening to these whispers, Xu Feng felt bitter. He thought he hadn't done anything terrible in his previous life. He just enjoyed the company of women, peeked at his neighbor's sister bathing when he was young, and occasionally removed someone's car wheels when he was upset.

But, these things shouldn't warrant being struck by lightning, right? And Xu Feng felt that his appearance and character weren't the type to be struck by lightning!

"Damn, why would I be struck by lightning? There's no reason for it," Xu Feng cursed inwardly.

Thinking about the strange scene when he was struck, Xu Feng couldn't help but think of Lin Xi. Remembering that Lin Xi was far away from him at that moment, Xu Feng felt a bit more at ease, thinking that Lin Xi should still be safe.

"Get out of the way!"

With a roar, Xu Feng's shoulder was pushed hard, and the distracted Xu Feng fell to the ground. His hand scraped against the sand and gravel, breaking the skin and bleeding. The pain in his hand made Xu Feng look up angrily at the person who pushed him, but that person had already entered the hall and disappeared.

Looking at the blood on his hand, with no one to vent his anger on, Xu Feng could only let out a light hum and continued walking. Seeing the contemptuous and disdainful looks from the other servants, Xu Feng shook his head, thinking that his predecessor had really failed in life.

But it was no wonder. From his predecessor's memories, Xu Feng knew that the person was completely timid and afraid of trouble, always being bullied. Among the servants, he was a pushover, and no one dared to stand up for him. He was forced to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. Moreover, he hadn't even broken through to the first level of mystic arts, so the other servants didn't even consider him human. In this world, strength was everything. Not even a first-level mystic, no wonder he was treated like a pig or a dog.
