11 Disregarded Feng

Ling Qin rolled his eyes and fell upon the man who's the center of all eyes. People moved away from him, fearing that they may be considered friends.

Even his wife, Lian took a small step to the side, leaving her husband easy to see from the envoys.

Ling Qin leered before asking Lin.

"What do you say we should do with him?"

[This is Feng's words again. Say what I say.]

Lin looked at Ling Qin and answered.

"He's still my father, I don't want anything to happen to him. Although I do want to return to him all the abuse he had done, and also his friends who helped him terrorize a family."

Trying to gain merit in Lin's eyes, Li Kong said the perfect solution as he had already dealt with this.

"Why not bring them to the military? Not only will their spouse get some benefits, but these men will also be straightened in no time! I will personally 'guide' them."

Lin's head bobbed up and down in agreement. Li Kong smiled at this.

"Thank you, senior, that is the best way that will resolve this issue!" Lin continued.

Seeing that they were getting buried, Ling Qin and Mei Lan didn't stay quiet.

"If you go to the High Wind Academy, you will be able to top your father and fix this village for all you want."

Although that was not that point, Ling Qin figured that as a victim, Lin must have a desire to change the system.

"Hmph! Once you get power in the city hall, just one word from yours and everyone will follow! You will directly step into power and not only that but you will receive the guidance of Mayor Min, who is at the Eight Stage of Guardian Fighter Realm!"

This attracted the gasp of many. Guardian Fighter Realm! That is the first realm of the Middle Mortal Realms or what is commonly called War Realms. That is above the Mind Tempering Realm which is above the Spirit Condensation Realm.

These envoys don't really have any prominent position at the Hawk Might City. They were above the average people but the true powerhouses are at the Guardian Fighter Realm with some at the Peak of Mind Tempering Realm.

Only in front of the Gentle Breeze Valley do they lift their heads up which they always lower to their superior. This time, they were the superior, how can they not take the chance?

Ling Qin and Li Kong stared at Mei Lan, feeling they were at the disadvantage, especially Ling Qin. Even they want the guidance of such existence!

This kid, Lin seemed smart, he knew how strong people at the Fighter Guardian Realm are.

Meanwhile, Jun glared bloodshot at his son.

'Abuse? Abuse!? I did all of that for your sake and you call that abuse?!'

But no matter what is in his head, he could never say it out loud since his son is now favored by these Spirit Condensation Cultivators. He should be feeling proud right now if not for the fact that he was being looked at as if he's the worst criminal out there.

"I like the military idea... but I also want the mayor's guidance..." Lin murmured.

Seeing this, Ling Qin found a solution.

"Lin, if you enroll at the High Wind Academy, they will be brought to the military and then you will also gain the mayor's guidance. If you join the city hall, you are far from the military and will have no influence there. If you join the military, there is no chance that Mayor Min will be able to meet you since soldiers will always be in the outside camps."

Mei Lan and Li Kong stared at Ling Qin in disbelief. This guy began attacking their suggestions. What's the fairness in that? However, whatever they think about him, he was right. If Lin enrolled at the High Wind Academy, he will have a larger connection and is flexible enough to meet the mayor or oversee the military. But what Ling Qin didn't mention was that this was not guaranteed, only possible!

Unfortunately, before they could refute-

"Then I'll join the High Wind Academy!" Lin exclaimed.

Hearing this, Ling Qin immediately declared.

"Lin, welcome to the High Wind Academy!"

This shamelessness made the faces of the other envoys twitched while Mei Lan and Li Kong could only sit. It's Ling Qin's win this day, although they will seek compensation later, they thought.

Lin looked at Feng and smiled. Feng gave a thumbs up.

Afterward, the village elder asked the last question.

"What is your goal in life?"

Unhesitatingly, Lin answered.

"To be Feng's bestfriend forever!"

"..."

[I don't understand.]

'Heh, this is the true charm of Feng.' Feng rubbed his nose in pride which Rumia scoffed at.

'I guess he's still a kid.' the envoys thought and didn't think much about it.

The village elder then placed the necklace on Lin and he said the same thing as last year.

"A leaf that flipped over."

Leat Turning Physique. No one was surprised. Physiques don't just magically change or evolve anyway. His cultivation is what matters.

Last year, he was at the first stage, now, he was at the fifth stage. Four stages in one year!

Does that mean that at the age of twelve, he will reach the Spirit Condensation at this pace? How about when he reached the age of twenty? A young Mind Tempering Cultivator? Then how about in his middle age? Fighter Guardian Realm? His lifespan will then increase, giving him a chance to make a breakthrough more!

A talent, a true talent!

"Then I will take Lin now and report to the Principal. Also, how about the cute girl who wants to be an empress?" Ling Qin pointed.

'Huh... why are they wrapping this up? Do they not see me?' Feng raised an eyebrow.

[Hahahaha!]

"I choose the High Wind Academy." Qiu said which made Mei Lan and Li Kong feel depressed while Ling Qin in high spirits.

"Then, you two! Follow me!"

When Ling Qin was about to turn around, a squeaky voice resounded.

"What about me!?"

"Hm?" the envoys who were about to leave and take the youths that chose them stopped and looked at Feng who ran up to the middle.

Ling Qin only shook his head.

"We are only permitted to take at most two talented youths. I'll take my leave now."

This was not true, however, he said this to give face to Mei Lan and Li Kong. What if this is another talented boy? He shouldn't be too greedy or he'll make an enemy out of them.

"Wait! I'm not leaving without Feng!" Lin shouted.

"Huh? So he's that Feng you mentioned?" Ling Qin frowned, fearing that this might become a problem. Just from Lin's answer earlier, he is too close to this Feng to be separated.

However...

'Being overdependent will not make a man out of you...' he thought before saying.

"He will see you again if he's talented enough."

"No! Don't you want to see Feng's Trial and Observation for now?! He's the last one now!" Lin persuade.

"You are too spoiled. Also, why do you like Feng so much?" beside him, Qiu said with a lowered gaze.

"Why do you care?" Lin sharply replied.

Ling Qin sighed and stayed. Lin is right, this Feng is already the last one. Why not wait and see? He was too excited to bring the good news to the academy and the principal will surely reward him greatly. No one expected anything from a village such as the Gentle Breeze Valley but here he is, a Fifth Stage Body Refinement ten-years-old cultivator!

Restraining his excitement, Ling Qin stayed.

"Then let's see who's this Feng is."

Seeing that the envoys stayed to watch, the village elder was nervous since he has no expectations from Feng. This is just wasting the envoys' time. Even the other people thought so.

Meanwhile, Boqin and Fei were watching from afar. They didn't know what was happening but it is now their son's turn. They just knew that he had yet to step into the first stage. They were just hoping he had some physique and get some good ratings or impressions from the envoys so that next year, he will have a higher chance.

"Name?" so the village chief hurried.

"Feng"

"Age?"

"Nine"

"Cultivation?"

"Second Stage of Body Refinement."

The village chief raised an eyebrow and looked into Feng to see it was true.

"Second stage? That useless' son?"

"Maybe he's lying?"

"But if it is true..."

The people murmured again. That was when the village chief nodded and just finished his inspection.

"Hmm, it is true. Second Stage of Body Refinement."

This should be shocking but after Lin, this feels unsurprising even though it wasn't before. The people's murmur continued though.

Meanwhile, the village chief continued, wanting to finish this soon.

"Goal of life?"

"Hmm..." Feng thought for a while. Lin stayed and wanted to hear it while almost all of them were disinterested. Feng then answered:

"I have so many goals. First of all, I want to be the strongest in all of the multiverse."

Feng didn't say about the Cosmic Overlord as that will just throw some confusion. But his answer did throw some sneerings and mocking laughter.
