Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Raise Your Eyebrows and Sigh! (2 more updates)

"Come, come, come! I must have a good conversation with an alchemy genius like you, and perhaps I might even gain some new insights!"

Yun Danqing, his face flushed with excitement, grabbed Ling Feng’s arm and pulled him into the great hall, leaving a crowd of younger members from the General Mansion in disarray in the wind.

Oh heavens, what exactly is going on here!

Deng Yongshi watched the retreating figures of Ling Feng and Yun Danqing, her eyelids twitching wildly, her mouth agape, her large, black eyes staring wide and round.

She knew very well the weight carried by the name "Yun Danqing," yet such a personage was showing such high regard for Ling Feng!

For a moment, she even felt as if she was dreaming!

Deng Yongshi was utterly dumbfounded, wondering just who her "little teacher" really was, and how many secrets he still held!

Before this, Deng Yongshi had merely thought of Ling Feng as a mature-minded youth, but now, the image of Ling Feng in her heart had completely transformed, becoming incredibly mysterious and imposing.

"Cough, cough..." Just then, Lee Rong, twisting her waist, came walking up and asked with bitten lips, "Cousin Shi, do you know where Mr. Ling comes from?"

Lee Rong’s heart was a mix of emotions.

She had thought her own teacher, being the vice president of the Alchemy Master Guild, would overshadow all of her peers and outshine everyone, but with the appearance of Yun Danqing, her own teacher became a laughingstock, while Deng Yongshi’s teacher turned into the "alchemy genius" proclaimed by Master Yun!

The flames of envy in Lee Rong’s heart blazed even more fiercely!

Why, from childhood on, had all the best things always gone to Deng Yongshi? She couldn’t accept it! She just couldn’t!

Suppressing the jealousy in her heart, Lee Rong forced a smile and cheerfully inquired Deng Yongshi about Ling Feng.

Deng Yongshi was stunned, only then noticing that, at some point, all her peers from other families were looking at her with intense eagerness, their eyes filled with envy.

And those teachers who considered themselves somewhat important were also visibly agitated, their old faces flushing.

Especially He Taichong, who had earlier been scathingly critical of Ling Feng, now found himself utterly without face, wishing he could crawl into a hole. He probably wouldn’t dare to continue attending this family banquet hosted by the Deng family; otherwise, in the presence of Yun Danqing, he might not even dare to fart.

"Hehe, I had already noticed that the young man earlier had a full countenance, absolutely a dragon among men!"

"Tsk, I didn’t speak up before because I realized right from the start that this youth was extraordinary. You arrogant fellows have really embarrassed yourselves this time!"

Some began to gloat over the misfortune, but to say they actually had discernment would be untrue—they just hadn’t gotten the chance to mock Ling Feng yet.

As for the Deng family’s younger generation, they all crowded around, bombarding Deng Yongshi with questions about Ling Feng.

Suddenly, an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up in Deng Yongshi’s heart; she had thought Ling Feng would embarrass her, but instead, he had brought her immense pride!

It was truly a moment to strut proudly!

Deng Yongshi couldn’t help but laugh joyfully, instinctively puffing out her chest, her face couldn’t hide her proud demeanor as she proclaimed, "Hmph, how could I possibly tell you about Mr. Ling’s identity! He’s a teacher specially hired by my grandfather, his identity is very mysterious!"

However, no sooner had Deng Yongshi finished speaking than her face began to slightly heat up.

It seemed that apart from knowing Ling Feng was a student of her grandfather’s old friend, she didn’t actually know anything else about Ling Feng.

Hearing Deng Yongshi’s answer, Lee Rong felt as if a cat was scratching at her heart, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "So what does Mr. Ling usually like? I’ve just offended him, and I have to make it up to him."

What did Ling Feng like?

Deng Yongshi blinked her eyes, seemingly recalling that these past few days Ling Feng had done nothing but teach her, meditate, and practice his skills. It seemed he had no other hobbies.

Deng Yongshi felt uncertain and, gritting her teeth, retorted, "Hmph, why should I tell you what Mr. Ling likes!"

With that, she stepped forward and walked toward the main hall.

Feeling the envious and jealous gazes around her, Deng Yongshi felt a surge of pleasure inside.

Well, considering that brat had really made her look good today, she decided she’d be nicer to him from now on—just a little bit nicer, yes!

...

Through his conversation with Yun Danqing, Ling Feng had come to know that his spontaneous act of kindness the other day, refining an Evil Origin Pill for Yuan Qianshen of the Cangqiong Sect to dispel the Cold Evil Energy inside him, was because Yuan Qianshen was unsure whether the smelly elixir was really edible, so he turned to Yun Danqing.

It was because of this incident that Yun Danqing had first heard his name. (PS: See "Chapter 098: Which High Man?")

Before long, the family banquet officially started. Ling Feng and Yun Danqing, no doubt, took the seats of honor, while Lee Rong’s teacher, He Taichong, found an excuse and slinked away.

Now, it was clear who was disgraced and who stood out.

After three rounds of drinks, the guests began to leave one after another. Yun Danqing repeatedly invited Ling Feng to visit the Alchemy Master Guild or the Cangqiong Sect if he ever had the chance.

Having the opportunity to interact with an Alchemy Master like Yun Danqing, Ling Feng naturally benefited a lot and saw no reason to refuse.

He agreed without hesitation, and then Ling Feng and Deng Yongshi returned to Youlan Small House.

Counting the days, he had already stayed at the General Mansion for three days, and it was time to bid farewell to General Deng and Deng Yongshi and return to the Heavenly Position Academy.

Before leaving, Ling Feng planned to try asking Deng Yongshi for the "Demon Mirage Crystal Core." She probably wouldn’t outright refuse him now.

Back at Youlan Small House, Aunt Lan had already prepared hot tea.

Seeing Deng Yongshi’s drunken, blushing cheeks, Aunt Lan quickly brought over the hot tea for her to drink, frowning slightly as she asked, "Miss, you usually don’t touch a drop of alcohol. Why have you drunk so much today?"

"I’m happy!" Deng Yongshi excitedly looked at Ling Feng, exclaiming, "Today, Ling Feng really stole the show, haha, and I got to bask in his glory!"

Aunt Lan shook her head with a smile, not knowing what had happened but noticing it had been a long time since she had seen Deng Yongshi this happy.

After a cup of hot tea, Deng Yongshi sobered up from her slightly drunken state. She gently pressed her temples, pouted, and moved closer to Ling Feng, giggling, "Hey, I’ve decided for the first time that having you as my teacher isn’t too bad after all!"

"Oh?" Ling Feng touched his nose, "Weren’t you worried I’d embarrass you?"

Deng Yongshi’s face turned red, "Can’t a person change their mind? Humph, I’ve decided, I’m giving you a chance. If your future performance satisfies me, I will start calling you ’teacher’!"

"Is that so?" Ling Feng helped Deng Yongshi sit back down on a stool, smiled faintly, and said, "Let’s talk about that opportunity another time. Actually, today I should also say my farewell to you."

"Farewell?" As soon as she heard this, Deng Yongshi stood up abruptly, her eyes fixating on Ling Feng as she bit her lip, "You... You’re leaving?"
