"What? Xu Feng took Xiao Yilin to the Ling family to find Ling Yong?" Xiao Rong shouted in anger, "What nonsense! How could you let him go!"
"Father! You know, I'm not as strong as Xu Feng! That boy doesn't even treat me like a young master! What can I do!" Xiao Lin's face turned slightly red, feeling embarrassed that a servant was stronger than him.
Xiao Rong didn't argue with Xiao Lin about this. He snorted and said, "What does that boy think he is? I wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the Ling family, but he actually went there."
Xiao Lin said helplessly, "The problem now is, what should we do? That boy is headstrong and has already rushed to the Ling family. Although I asked the servants to stop him, they couldn't."
Xiao Rong also felt a headache, thinking that this servant was indeed quite audacious. The Ling family wasn't an easy place to go. However, after his initial anger, Xiao Rong also had some admiration for Xu Feng. After all, it was rare to find a servant who would do so much for his young lady.
"Alright! Go gather some people! We can't let Yilin get hurt, or else my elder brother won't let me off. I'll go to the Ling family with you," Xiao Rong sighed.
"I'm not worried about that. As long as Xu Feng is alive, Yilin won't be in danger!" Xiao Lin said, "But Xu Feng..."
"He? We'll see how it goes!" Xiao Rong waved his hand, signaling Xiao Lin to prepare.
"Xu Feng! Aren't you afraid of the Ling family?" Xiao Yilin asked as they walked down the road.
Xu Feng smiled, knowing the Ling family's terror. After all, one hand can't fight four. He wasn't yet at the Spirit Realm. But that was just the kind of person he was. Once he decided to protect someone, he would do it to the end, even if it meant facing a dragon's den. A man should have his own sense of responsibility and not abandon his principles because of difficulties and dangers.
"Second Miss! Are you afraid?" Xu Feng asked.
"I'm not afraid as long as you're with me! I want to see Ling Yong's eyes go blind!" Xiao Yilin clearly remembered her mother's words, still harboring resentment even after being ogled.
"Then Second Miss, follow me!" Xu Feng pulled Xiao Yilin to the Ling family's gate and said to her.
Xiao Yilin smiled sweetly, feeling a sense of indescribable emotion. When her uncle and cousin were hesitant and cautious about the Ling family, only her servant would stand up and go all out to find trouble with Ling Yong. At this moment, Xiao Yilin felt that choosing Xu Feng as her servant was her best decision.
Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin walked straight to the Ling family's gate. The Ling family's gatekeepers were slightly stunned when they saw Xiao Yilin, thinking, "Wasn't this woman just crying after being teased by the young master? How dare she come here? Did she develop feelings for the young master and come to offer herself?"
Thinking this, they all laughed lewdly. However, when they saw Xu Feng, their eyes showed some displeasure.
"Oh! Isn't this the second miss of the Xiao family? What? You can't bear to leave our young master?" a gatekeeper laughed evilly.
"You..." Xiao Yilin's face turned red, wanting to argue, but Xu Feng interrupted her by holding her hand and smiling kindly, "Second Miss! Why talk to these lackeys?"
With that, Xu Feng punched a gatekeeper, causing him to spit blood and crash into the gate, which was forced open.
This scene left everyone stunned. No one expected this seemingly weak young man to suddenly attack. The Ling family had lived in this area for many years, and no one had ever dared to attack their gate.
But soon, Xu Feng's actions stunned them again. He punched each of the four gatekeepers, making them spit blood, and then walked into the Ling family's gate without a word.
This finally made everyone realize what was happening. They looked at each other in shock: "Heavens! Is this boy trying to destroy the Ling family? Alone?"
Xu Feng's audacious actions woke up the usually lazy gatekeepers. Although they couldn't believe someone would dare to cause trouble at the Ling family, it was happening right in front of them.
"Damn it!" Some gatekeepers surrounded Xu Feng, trying to subdue him.
Xu Feng sneered inwardly, thinking that these weak martial artists were no different from tofu in his hands. They would need to use ranged weapons like bows to subdue him, otherwise, they couldn't harm him at all.
However, in the narrow confines of the estate, using bows was not suitable.
Xu Feng held Xiao Yilin with one hand and swung a sharp sword with the other. As the sword cut through, blood splattered. The gatekeepers surrounding Xu Feng were shocked, realizing how terrifying this young man was and not daring to get too close.
Xu Feng, with his strength, forced the dozens of surrounding gatekeepers to make way. The crowd outside the gate watched in shock.
"Ling Yong! If you don't come out, I'll destroy your Ling family!" Xu Feng's voice echoed in the Ling family's estate, standing there without moving. These gatekeepers, who hadn't even reached the martial artist level, were not the main force of the Ling family. The higher-level gatekeepers hadn't expected anyone to cause trouble at the Xiao family, so their reaction was slow.
Sure enough, after Xu Feng shouted, a steward led a group of gatekeepers to surround him.
"Second Steward! This boy is destroying our Ling family!" a gatekeeper ran up to report.
The second steward stared intently at Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin and shouted to the group of gatekeepers behind him, "Attack together! Take care of this boy!"
"Overestimating yourself!"
Xu Feng looked at the gatekeepers rushing towards him, his sword swung without any flair, using full strength. Each gatekeeper who dared to approach Xu Feng left a trail of blood. The ground around Xu Feng was covered in blood.
This scene shocked the second steward, who suddenly remembered someone and exclaimed, "Are you Xu Feng?"
"Do you know me?" Xu Feng glanced at him, thinking that if he knew him, it would be easier to call out Ling Yong.
Seeing Xu Feng admit it, the second steward's heart skipped a beat. Although the news of Xu Feng defeating Ye Hu hadn't spread widely in the Ling family, he had heard it on the street while shopping. Defeating a nearly tenth-rank Ye Hu with one move—what kind of strength was that?
Although the second steward was shocked, he forced himself to shout angrily, "Xu Feng! Don't think you can do as you please just because you have some strength. The Ling family can still destroy you easily."
"I don't know if it's easy or not! Today, I just want to see Ling Yong!" Xu Feng said calmly, his sword piercing a gatekeeper who tried to sneak attack him. Blood spurted as the gatekeeper screamed.
This made the other gatekeepers, who were planning to sneak attack, stop in their tracks.
"You..." The second steward was furious, never having seen such audacity. Who dared to cause trouble at the Ling family in this small town? Even the head of the Xiao family didn't dare. But this young boy did it, truly fearless like a newborn calf!
"I'll count to three! If he doesn't come out, I'll kill them one by one!" Xu Feng said to the second steward.
In the second steward's shock, Xu Feng shouted, "Three!"
After shouting "three," Xu Feng immediately stabbed a gatekeeper, who couldn't dodge in time and was killed, his body covered in blood.
Seeing Xu Feng suddenly kill after shouting "three," Xiao Yilin pulled his hand and reminded him, "Xu Feng! You forgot to count one and two!"
"Oh! Really? Sorry! I didn't learn to count well when I was young!" Xu Feng said innocently.
This almost made the second steward furious. You didn't learn to count? So you use our lives to make up for it?
"Let's do it this way! As an apology, I'll count again!" Xu Feng said to the group of gatekeepers.
This instantly made the gatekeepers retreat in fear. Count again? Our lives can't be reset!
Seeing them retreat, Xu Feng snorted, "Ling Yong, if you don't show up, don't blame me!"
Xu Feng sneered, noticing movement on the roof of the Xiao family's house. He pulled Xiao Yilin to hide under an eave, thinking, "Do you think I'll be your target if you set up archers on the roof?"
Clearly, hiding under the eave, Xu Feng was out of sight of the archers on the roof, making them furious.
"Second Miss! You're better at counting than me, you do it!" Xu Feng smiled at the second miss, his eyes cold as he looked at the second steward and his group.
The second steward, seeing Xu Feng under the eave, felt for the first time that the eave, which protected them from the wind and rain, was unnecessary. This boy's strength made ranged attacks useless.
"Ah..." Just as the second steward was frustrated, another gatekeeper fell to the ground.
Seeing a gatekeeper die, Xiao Yilin stared at Xu Feng, "I haven't counted yet?"
"Ah! Didn't you count in your head? I felt it!" Xu Feng said seriously.
The second steward felt like spitting blood, thinking, "Is this even possible?"
