"Why so cold, my cousin!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's lips curled slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Feng's reaction was beyond Yang Ningbing's expectations.
What kind of reaction is this?
Is it really that funny?
Ever since finding out about Lin Feng's identity and taking on the task given by her grandfather, she had thought about how Lin Feng might react.
Perhaps flattered, or happily accepting.
Or even so angry he would scream hysterically, or maybe he would cry and tell her about the grievances he suffered over the years.
She wouldn't be surprised by any of these possibilities!
But she could never have guessed that Lin Feng would laugh so joyfully.
Was he just too happy to be recognized?
But from her brief understanding of Lin Feng, this seemingly bright laughter carried a hint of mockery!
"What's so funny?" Yang Ningbing couldn't help but ask.
"My last name is Lin, and you call me cousin. Don't you find that funny?" Lin Feng asked amusingly.
Cousin?
What a laughable title!
Yang Ningbing remained silent, her slightly almond-shaped eyes squinted slightly, appearing sharp, yet under her gaze, Lin Feng remained unfazed, and his laughter couldn't stop. Eventually, the girl nodded helplessly, somewhat ruefully saying, "It is indeed a bit funny!"
Just as Lin Feng said, it indeed was funny!
When she initially heard this fact, besides being shocked and finding it unbelievable, she also found it a bit funny.
South Ye Qiu, North Lin Feng.
Even before the college entrance exams, this boy's name was known to her.
After the exams, he became famous nationwide, becoming a national sensation as the top scorer!
A martial arts prodigy with a rare combat talent.
Reputed as a genius Demon Spirit Master capable of refining Earth Chart demon spirits.
The holder of the First Throne in the Throne Challenge!
The country's first ever, before even refining a demon spirit, to ascend the Glory Rookie Chart with monstrous talent.
One of the most anticipated rookies in the Glory Alliance.
Without considering his strength, Lin Feng's achievements and titles were more luminous and radiant than hers.
Although she was much stronger than Lin Feng, in the face of these series of accolades and achievements, even she found it hard to appear condescending.
With Lin Feng's talent, it wouldn't take long for him to catch up with her, possibly becoming her teammate or even an opponent.
Such a heavenly genius, desired by all factions, was actually an illegitimate child.
An illegitimate child abandoned by his father and family.
Rated with a C grade, deemed of no cultivation value.
It's a truly colossal joke!
Yang Ningbing could imagine that if this news got out, it would definitely become the headline of every news outlet.
Many would surely laugh at the Yang Race.
"So don't randomly claim kinship to take advantage of me, just say what you need!" Lin Feng said.
Actually, he already had an answer in his heart, knowing Yang Ningbing's purpose for finding him.
Up next, it would probably be some enticing offers.
As for the offers, Lin Feng didn't care at all.
He just wanted to know...
Did that man know?
Did he come seeking him?
If so, it would indeed be something worth celebrating.
Lin Feng had been expecting this day since he was young; it was one of his goals.
"You brat..." Yang Ningbing felt she was going crazy.
Randomly claim kinship?
Take advantage?
She was a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, having refined an Earth Chart demon spirit, even stronger than some of the mentors at the academy.
As the head of the Combat Department, Red Cloud's number one Thunder Technique user, who dared to speak to her like that at Red Cloud University, except for that old sly fox, the madman?
Let alone a freshman who had just enrolled.
Even though this freshman was quite special.
Facing the impenetrable Lin Feng, Yang Ningbing felt she was losing control of the conversation!
"Yang Rui acted against you, but the family didn't know. As punishment, grandpa already had him expelled!"
Yang Ningbing didn't want to continue discussing, she shifted the topic directly.
Expelled?
Just after the semester began he got expelled?
But Lin Feng wasn't surprised either; expulsion was nothing but a harmless punishment.
With the Yang Race's power, even if Yang Rui got expelled, returning to Shangjing's base and attending Great Wall University was an easy matter.
It was merely a change of school location.
"Say what you need, Yang Rui's expulsion has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "I don't know why he acted against me, nor do I care, but if he weren't expelled, I'd be happier because I still want to play with him."
Yang Ningbing lightly placed a hand on her forehead, feeling a headache!
Grandpa was right.
This kid is hard to deal with, hard to manage, and harbors resentment towards the family!
He's difficult to handle!
"In my presence, you dare to be so arrogant!"
Yang Ningbing felt weary; in front of her, as head of the Combat Department, Lin Feng dared to be so arrogant.
She sensed no trace of awe from Lin Feng towards her.
Arrogant is arrogant, but it wasn't just hot air.
As this year's Rookie King, Lin Feng indeed had that kind of strength.
Even with her protection, if Lin Feng indeed wanted to target Yang Rui, Yang Rui's days at Red Cloud would be hard, even dangerous.
The performance in the Throne Challenge made everyone aware of Lin Feng's fiery temper.
And the one-sword throat slash against Yang Rui made everyone more aware of Lin Feng's ruthless hands!
Ruthlessness isn't scary!
What is scary is that this ruthless person has a demon fiend level talent.
Being a demon fiend is one thing, but having a teammate with ancestral demonization and even more monstrous talent by his side is another.
Yang Ningbing could imagine that in a couple of years, Red Cloud University might have no one to suppress these two demon fiends!
Yang Rui obviously understood this point.
Therefore, he had no objections to the family's punishment and even visibly breathed a sigh of relief after she mentioned it.
Obviously, he was terrified of being killed by Lin Feng!
"Alright, let's not talk about useless stuff."
Knowing that Lin Feng was a tough nut, Yang Ningbing had learned her lesson this time and got straight to the point: "Grandfather hopes you can return to the family. The grievances you've suffered over the years, the family will do its best to make amends."
"Grandfather? I have no such grandfather."
Lin Feng said calmly.
That old man probably has dozens or hundreds of grandchildren.
One more doesn't matter, one less doesn't make a difference.
Lin Feng detests the Yang Race!
Detests them from the heart.
To this clan, blood ties are merely an important connection, not too directly related to kinship.
Everything is measured by value!
Without value, they wouldn't even spare a glance at you.
"Your talent is outstanding, if the family assists you, your achievements would be limitless!"
Having been abandoned by her father since childhood, Yang Ningbing knew Lin Feng's resentment towards the family, so she ignored his disrespect: "The family knows you need an Earth Chart demon spirit. Grandfather pulled some strings and found an Ice Ghost for you. If you agree to return to the family, this demon spirit will be refined for you!"
"Oh, that's quite a gesture!"
This time, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised.
An Ice Ghost ranked 127th on the Earth Chart isn't something you can buy with money.
Truly worthy of the Glory Race, not only wealthy but well-connected enough to acquire even a rare Ice Ghost within just a few months.
"You might not know, the 'Glory' in the Glory Race isn't just a title, it represents privileges and benefits that ordinary people can't enjoy."
"These benefits can't even be had with money."
"You should know about the Spiritual Power Pool, the Glory Race has three slots for entry each year. If you agree to return to the family, grandfather will give you one, allowing you to purify your body and accelerate your cultivation pace."
"Before I graduate, I'll support you to become the deputy head of the Combat Department, transferring all the resources and connections I've accumulated over these three years to you. Without accidents, by your third year, this position will be yours."
Yang Ningbing listed many benefits of returning to the family.
But Lin Feng remained calm, unmoved.
"You know my strength. I can wait until you and Yun Kai grow up, and by then, we can form a team and participate in the Glory War!"
"Glory Team?"
Lin Feng hadn't expected the Yang Family to have this plan.
Yang Ningbing was clearly not referring to the national college Glory League but the Glory Professional Alliance, which is more fiercely competitive and brutal than the national college tournament.
Of course, the rewards are also more enticing.
It's a stage that all martial artists and demon spirit masters yearn for, or you could say a battlefield!
Lin Feng hadn't expected the Yang Family to think this far ahead.
He hadn't even agreed yet, but the Yang Family seemed to have arranged everything.
Finding the Ice Ghost is probably also to assist Yang Ningbing.
The Ice Ghost's talent leans towards the Magic Series, but with Lin Feng's combat talent, his future profession can be a Combat Mage.
A water series Combat Mage, coupled with Yang Ningbing's formidable Thunder Technique, a Frenzy Warrior like Yun Kai with Ancestral Demonization, and Dong Yunan with a top-level healing demon spirit!
Even in the Glory Professional Alliance, it's challenging to find such a top-level setup.
As for Yang Ningbing's talk about waiting for them to grow up, that's hardly a sacrifice.
The Glory Professional Alliance has age and strength restrictions for professional players.
No older than thirty years, strength below Eighth Grade.
With the talents of Lin Feng and Yun Kai, they can quickly catch up to or even surpass Yang Ningbing.
Waiting?
By then, it's uncertain who will wait for whom.
"The family is very sincere; this is a great opportunity for you," Yang Ningbing said.
A single Ice Ghost from the Earth Chart is enough to show the family's sincerity, not to mention the other benefits.
Faced with such temptation, Yang Ningbing couldn't think of a reason for Lin Feng to refuse.
"Does he know about this?"
Lin Feng suddenly asked, seemingly out of context, but Yang Ningbing understood.
"He knows!"
Yang Ningbing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She naturally knew who this 'he' referred to.
"Have him beg me, and maybe I'll agree!" Lin Feng smiled.
"Do you know what you're saying?"
Yang Ningbing said in disbelief.
She thought Lin Feng had gone mad.
Getting the First Throne has gone to his head!
He's Yang Qing!
An alias 'Thirteen,' a presence that made all geniuses in Shangjing dim in comparison.
She knew better than anyone the terror of her Uncle Thirteen.
Even as talented as she was, she dared not be arrogant before her Uncle Thirteen.
Although she hadn't seen her Uncle Thirteen for several years, Yang Ningbing knew that in a place called 'Kai Yuan' in an other-dimensional space, he had suppressed this A-level dangerous other-dimensional space with iron-handed methods and obtained an extremely valuable 'Key.'
His name made the alien races inside quail with fear, listing that other-dimensional space as forbidden, not daring to enter lightly.
In front of this Uncle Thirteen, she didn't even dare to speak loudly, and yet Lin Feng dared to make such a demand?
"You know what I'm saying, have him come beg me, and maybe I'll agree!"
Lin Feng ignored Yang Ningbing's shock, finished speaking, and got up to leave.
"Open the door!"
Lin Feng stood before the purple light curtain, speaking to Yang Ningbing.
This light curtain not only blocked sound and sight but also had a barrier effect. If you couldn't break it, you couldn't get out.
"Aren't you quite strong? Open it yourself." The girl smiled, motionless as she looked at Lin Feng.
She wanted to teach Lin Feng a lesson.
To tell him that even a prodigious genius should remain humble at this stage.
"You don't know, I'm quite the expert at playing with thunder!"
Lin Feng chuckled, lightly placing his right hand on the purple light curtain in Yang Ningbing's puzzled gaze.
Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly, appearing to be feeling something. The next moment, a bolt of electricity jumped from his body. The light curtain remained intact, yet Lin Feng vanished in an instant, leaving the girl staring wide-eyed.
