Chapter 436: Chapter 303: Zhen Zhen Arrives_2

So, he gave his younger daughter the one he was wearing.

He always felt quite guilty towards this younger daughter, so he tended to be a bit more indulgent with her. During this trip to Yang City, he brought only this daughter, allowing her to take her mind off things.

As he toyed with the newly minted copper coin in his hand, a variety of thoughts flashed through the middle-aged man’s mind.

Coming back to his senses, his gaze settled on the shiny new copper coin.

Feng Family customs were such that he had seen many zodiac ornamental coins and didn’t make much of it, handing it back to his daughter.

"You keep it to play with, or as a collectible if you like, but keep wearing the one I gave you as a personal charm," he said.

The little girl pouted, somewhat displeased, "Can I really not wear it?"

The middle-aged man patiently coaxed, "Sweetie, listen to Dad, it’s for the best! It’s not convenient right now; I didn’t bring my tools. Wait till we get back to the hotel, and I’ll prove it to you. Zodiac ornamental coins also vary—one may be prettier in pattern, but it’s still just a coin for display. It’s like with people: just because someone looks good on the outside doesn’t mean they actually have any real skills... I’m not talking about Feng Yi. I mean, that snobbish pretty boy we saw today!"

"The zodiac ornamental coin I gave you, that’s the real treasure! With it, our ancestors will bless you!"

Meanwhile.

Feng Chi was also talking to Feng Yi about that little sister from their clan.

"Trust me, that little girl was fierce. Two punches, just two punches, and she sent a boy taller and stronger than her to the ground! She even had an air of anger about her when she spoke to me, nothing like what you saw."

As he spoke, Feng Chi clucked his tongue twice, "Could it be because of looks? Maybe your face fits her taste better?"

As Feng Yi listened to this, he also found the little girl quite interesting. His thoughts flashed back to the stories the butler had told him about the fights between the grandmother and Old Man Feng.

With that thought, Feng Yi couldn’t help but smile.

"What are you laughing at? You think you’re so great because you’re better looking?" Feng Chi said.

Feng Yi shared the thoughts he just had.

Feng Chi also burst into laughter. Thinking back to the scene he had witnessed, and then picturing Old Man Feng’s face...

Feng Chi laughed even louder.

His laughter was joyful, but it made others unhappy.

Some who frequented the Feng Family of Yang City, seeing this scene, felt a surge of hatred:

Finally showing your true colors? Feng Chi is clearly very close with Feng Yi! Always putting on an act in front of Old Man Feng!

Feng Chi noticed these people as well, but now he truly wasn’t concerned with hiding anything, especially since Old Man Feng already knew.

Just as he was about to chat with Feng Yi, he heard the surrounding relatives talking:

"Wow! It’s Feng Yi! His video of catching the python at the beginning of the year went viral overseas!"

"Not just that, some of his other videos capturing venomous snakes have also spread on foreign websites."

"Is he really that amazing?"

"Amazing! How many people his age have gotten certification from the Joint Protection Agency? And that’s the Joint Protection Agency we’re talking about—in today’s world, who doesn’t know them? His expertise is recognized internationally!"

"I remember, not long ago he caught two identical-looking snakes in the mountain, one venomous and the other nonvenomous. Many people shared it at the time."

"Is that necessary? Do that many people like snakes?"

"I think the people who shared it may not necessarily be snake enthusiasts, but rather they admire his skill in handling snakes. Did you know? When he records videos, he lets highly venomous snakes crawl over his hands without even grabbing their heads!"

"That’s not too impressive—I’ve seen other snake charmers do the same thing online."

"But it’s different! First, Feng Yi was in the deep mountains where a single bite could be fatal before you even reach a hospital. Second, his casual and effortless movement when handling snakes... I can’t really explain it to you. Let me just find the video online and show you."

In the midst of the discussion, quite a few people came over to ask if they could take a photo with him. Some even wanted to make videos and sought Feng Yi’s opinion.

Feng Yi didn’t refuse.

Feng Chi stood by the side: "..."

He was once again painfully aware of the gap between them.

Once the people asking for photos had left, Feng Chi and Feng Yi continued walking.

They hadn’t spoken much when Feng Chi’s gaze faltered.

"Bro, I see someone even cooler than you!"

Feng Yi followed his gaze.

Not far away, a man in sunglasses walked slowly with one hand in his pocket.

Every strand of his hair was impeccably placed, unfazed by the wind.

A plain short-sleeve shirt revealed the lines of his body perfectly. His exact age was indiscernible.

Even though his outfit lacked the garish colors inappropriate for a memorial event, every cut and style of his clothing screamed flamboyance.

Could his name be Show-off Feng? Of course, that wasn’t the point.

The point was the mechanical pet that followed at his heels!

Feng Chi had bought powered mechanical dogs before, but this one looked like an upgraded version, with its appearance modified as well.

"Is this a mechanical Kylin? Bringing a mythical beast to pay respects to the ancestors?"

Feng Chi didn’t think too much at the moment, only feeling that the person had an impressive aura.

Turning to Feng Yi, he said, "This is simply..."

Feng Yi replied, "It’s Uncle Feng."

Feng Chi excitedly said, "It’s just too damn cool!!"

His gaze fixed intently on that side.

Defeated!

He had lost not only in looks to Feng Yi but also in showing off, with Uncle Feng far ahead!

"Uncle Feng is the most stylish guy in the entire area today!"

"This mechanical Kylin is so cute! Its little tail is even wagging!"

"Bro, look at those kids, they were all noisy just now, but now they are as if they’ve been put under a spell, eyes glued, I wonder if they’ll roll on the ground begging their parents to buy them the same model."

"Absolutely, if I were 20 years younger, I’d do exactly that!"

Feng Chi went on and on.

Feng Yi wanted to remind him that Uncle Feng was about to walk into the house.

Feng Chi was still staring at the mechanical Kylin:

"Which generation of bionic pets is this? The intelligent obstacle avoidance is so sensitive! And the variable-speed steering operation is so smooth!"

"There must be a lot of technological secrets in there, right? Isn’t Uncle Feng afraid of being kidnapped walking down the street?"

"Hey, I was just thinking about playing the drum for Uncle Feng earlier, but now I want to dance a lion dance for him to show off my enthusiasm and talent... Wait, Uncle Feng?!!"

Feng Chi watched as Uncle Feng walked into a room.

There, Old Man Feng and the others were gathered.

Uncle Feng had seen Feng Yi and the others earlier, but since he was nearly at the door, it wouldn’t be appropriate to go over and talk to them now. There were several relatives of higher seniority inside; even though he didn’t care on regular days, on this occasion, he had to offer some respect and not act too indecently.

Upon walking in, he glanced at the people inside.

"Yo, it’s quite lively in here!"

Those inside were of various ages and ranks, with different forms of address.

Seeing him come in, they called out:

"Brother Zhen!"

"Uncle Zhen."

"Grandpa Zhen..."

Old Man Feng sat on the central chair without saying a word. However, another old man sitting beside him, leaning on a cane and putting on airs, said nonchalantly:

"Zhenzhen has arrived."

Uncle Feng, full name Feng Zhenzhen.

He had no complaints about his name, "Zhenzhen" came from the Book of Poetry.

It was just that he hated being called by that name with that tone.

Encountering it upon entering was really bad luck!

He forced out a perfunctory smile: "And you are?"

The atmosphere turned chilly.

An elderly person to the side spoke up to ease the situation, "A’zhen is still as spirited as ever."

Uncle Zhen’s smile brightened, and he replied warmly, "Aiyoh, it’s Uncle Hao! Long time no see. You’re as vibrant as the young people!"

The old man called "Uncle Hao" smiled more deeply, with a sincere smile.

The last time the two had met was more than a decade ago at an investors’ conference by chance.

After that, there had been little contact for a long time. Later, by chance, Uncle Hao learned of Feng Zhenzhen’s achievements in the field of mechanical intelligence and began to pay more attention. Unfortunately, he never got a response.

To his surprise, now that they met again, the other party actually recognized him.

He didn’t seem as arrogant and rude as others had described him.

Uncle Zhen greeted several people in succession, calling many by name and warmly shaking hands. He acted as if this was his home turf.

Feng Chi, curious, had been hanging around the doorway and after seeing that scene, went back to Feng Yi and said:

"Shocking! Uncle Feng actually knows so many people!"

Feng Yi didn’t go into that room, having just handed out a copper coin to a child. Hearing what Feng Chi said, he explained: "When I was talking with him this morning, he mentioned he was reviewing people’s information and memorizing faces from photos just yesterday."

Feng Chi’s mouth fell open, then understanding dawned, "Got it, it’s like cramming before an exam, memorize as much as you can and improvise on the rest!"

Looking around then leaning closer, he whispered to Feng Yi, "Uncle Zhen’s so good at controlling the scene, I’m telling you, Old Man Feng doesn’t seem to be in a good mood."
