Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Shameless

"How is this possible? He was clearly just a down-and-out prince, even more, a waste without any sword meridians. How could he be so favored by the Hong Family and Golden Talisman Sect Store masters?"

Lin Yuxin was completely shaken.

Only now did she realize that the boyfriend she had despised and easily thrown away was so highly sought after.

From the toadying disposition of these big shots towards Chu Feng, her new boyfriend, Alchemy Master Qiao, probably wasn’t even fit to carry Chu Feng’s shoes.

If that’s really the case, she feared she might become a negative example throughout the Jianyun Dynasty.

Holding onto a real potential stock no longer, she blindly chose an old man who is a hundred times weaker than Chu Feng, yet smugly thought she had found a successful person to be her boyfriend.

Lin Yuxin felt almost driven insane.

"No, there must be some unknown secrets involved. Chu Feng has always been good at deceiving others; he must have tricked these big shots with some lies."

Lin Yuxin is not only smart but also very intelligent.

She had long known that Chu Feng possessed decent talent in Alchemy Dao, and his skills were not bad either.

At least that time at the Alchemy Master Guild, Chu Feng completely bamboozled Niu Baotian, which she saw with her own eyes.

Lately, in several competitions at the Alchemy Academy, Chu Feng shone brilliantly, and she was also present.

But she always believed that Chu Feng’s success was mostly due to luck.

Compared to Qiao Dusi, Chu Feng had just started to show a glimmer of promise, while Qiao Dusi was already dazzling brightly.

After deep consideration, she completely fell for Qiao Dusi’s monetary appeal.

Ultimately, she did not hesitate to kick Chu Feng to the curb and hooked up with Qiao Dusi.

Elder Cousin’s expression was also somewhat dazed.

Having served as Qiao Dusi’s coachman for so long, what was it all for? Wasn’t it just to receive Qiao Dusi’s care and get better opportunities within the Alchemy Master Guild?

Now, he was shocked to find that the Qiao Dusi he idolized as a Divine Soul, was actually not as good as Chu Feng.

This was indeed rather comical.

Elder Cousin similarly waited like Lin Yuxin, watching to see how things would develop.

Now, these big shots’ friendly attitudes towards Chu Feng were not enough to entirely confirm Chu Feng’s status.

...

"Hong Family Master, you came just in time. I heard that this General Li has some marital connections with your Hong Family?" Chu Feng’s face was calm, as if the fawning of these four big shots was nothing worth mentioning.

This was truly a hidden high-level BOSS.

While Vice Minister Xie and Qiao Dusi were still contending with Chu Feng,

"Yes, this guy does have some relations with my Hong Family," Hong Family Master directly referred to General Li as ’this guy’.

General Li felt a myriad of expletives racing through his mind, dark lines covering his forehead, yet he dared not retort. After all, he was a general, as well as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, his position was undoubtedly not low.

In front of people like Old Master Xie, he could show off a bit.

In front of Hong Family Master, however, he dared not flaunt his authority. Otherwise, an upset Hong Family Master could easily ruin him.

As for dismissing him from his post, that was even less worth mentioning.

General Li was able to sit so young at the throne of the Assistant Minister of War not by his own ability. He had secured this position today by marrying his own sister into Hong’s family and expressing his willingness to pay loyalty and serve Hong’s family.

That’s how he obtained his status today.

Hong Family Master did not understand why Chu Feng would ask such a question.

Chu Feng’s face was icy as he said, "Not long ago, General Li from your Hong Family tried to forcefully take away my girlfriend. Initially, I planned to kill him, but upon hearing that he was from the Hong Family, I refrained from acting rashly."

"You, trying to kill me, the General?" General Li suddenly burst out, enraged.

Chu Feng was too arrogant. Who did he think he was? A Great Sword Master?

"Thank you, Alchemist Chu, for giving face to my Hong Family!" The Hong Family Master deeply appreciated Chu Feng’s capabilities. After thanking Chu Feng, he abruptly turned around, and without a word, slapped General Li across the face.

Slap!

General Li did not dare to dodge or resist.

He took the slap, fell to the ground, blood already hanging from the corner of his mouth, yet he dared not even wipe it away, instead staring in fear at the murderous-looking Hong Family Master.

"Hong... Seventh Young Master Hong, why are you hitting me? I have always been loyal to the Hong Family..." General Li had never seen such a terrifying expression on the Hong Family Master.

"You villain, daring to covet Alchemist Chu’s girlfriend. If it weren’t for your loyal services to the Hong Family, you would already be a corpse," said the Hong Family Master, his voice chillingly cold, tinged with killing intent.

"I will give you a chance for survival, seek Alchemist Chu’s forgiveness. If Alchemist Chu refuses to forgive you, then I’m sorry, but you will have to leave horizontally today." As he spoke, the Hong Family Master sharply drew his sword.

General Li was terrified, his soul nearly fleeing his body. He never imagined that he, an Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and a relative of the Hong Family, would be less significant than the seemingly unworthy Third Prince before him.

Seeing the murderous intent of the Hong Family Master, clearly ready to kill him to please Chu Feng.

Thud!

At that moment, General Li threw away all considerations of face and dignity, and knelt directly in front of Chu Feng, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Alchemist Chu, please have mercy, forgive me this once. I will never dare to do this again..."

General Li sneaked a glimpse at Chu Feng and saw that Chu Feng’s expression remained icy, showing no reaction.

His heart sank to the bottom.

He then forcefully squeezed out few tears, crying, "Woo... Alchemist Chu, you must not kill me! I have elderly parents bedridden at home, aged ninety, and a three-year-old son waiting to be fed..."

This man was truly a talent, utterly ruthless and unscrupulous when committing wrongdoing.

Now begging for mercy, he was remarkably adept at it too.

Crying with snot and tears, truly a heart-wrenching sight, stirring sympathy from the listeners.

"Enough, enough, stop your wailing! Whether to forgive you or not is not up to me to decide, but up to her!" Chu Feng turned to Xie Bing and spoke tenderly, "Bing Bing, you decide how to deal with him."

General Li looked pitifully at Xie Bing, with tears streaming down his face.

Whether it was the people from the Xie Family or the guests who came to attend the banquet, all looked enviously at Xie Bing.

"Haha, my daughter sure knows how to pick! She found such an impressive boyfriend!" Xie Bing’s father laughed shamelessly.

Completely forgetting that not long ago, he tried to forcibly marry Xie Bing to Xie Baogui, and he was extremely contemptuous of Chu Feng, looking down on him.

Now seeing Chu Feng’s great capabilities, he changed his attitude instantly.

"Xie Bing, you have grown up, and the decision I made earlier in the back garden was a bit rash. Since you and Prince Chu Feng are in love, I will not oppose it, and even respect your choice," said Old Master Xie, even more shamelessly than before, as he had previously pressured Xie Bing.

He publicly stated his full support for the union of Xie Bing and Chu Feng.

The nearly forgotten Xie Baogui suddenly panicked, "Great Grandfather, you promised me..."

"Shut up, take a good look in the mirror. What are you? How dare you compete with Prince Chu Feng for Xie Bing?" Old Master Xie didn’t let Xie Baogui finish speaking, his face darkening as he chided him fiercely.
