Chapter 29: What's Going On?

  "Lin Feng, brother, let me toast you first, thank you very much for saving Xue Qing."

  In a room on the second floor of a wine house, Qin Yong picked up his wine glass and smiled at Lin Feng.

  "Please."

  Lin Feng held the wine glass in his hand, let out a faint sigh, and didn't know how long it had been since he last drank. Back on Earth, he used to drink quite a bit, but now in this otherworldly realm, today was actually his first time drinking, and he wondered what the wine here would be like?

  He brought it to his lips, took a light sip, and hummed in approval. The sweet flavor had a hint of bitterness, with a rich aroma that lingered on his lips, and as he swallowed, a warm sensation spread through his chest. It was almost as good as the beer he used to drink back on Earth, and he hadn't expected this otherworldly place to produce such fine liquor.

  "What good wine!" Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim, in his previous life he was a poor scholar and had no chance to drink any fine wines, unexpectedly in this other world he could still drink such good wine.

  "Haha... Of course, Brother Lin Feng, how dare I serve you inferior wine? This is the famous Qingfeng Zui from Zuiyun Lou, and just this one bottle of wine costs 20 taels of silver." Qin Yong started advertising for Zuiyun Lou on the spot.

  This tavern is called Drunken Wind Pavilion, the most famous tavern in the surrounding area. Even a casual meal here costs dozens of taels of silver, which ordinary people can't afford at all. It can be said that anyone who consumes here is basically either rich or noble.

  As for this tavern, Qin Yong also had a deep feeling about it. This tavern did not belong to any powerful faction's name, but it was able to survive in the cracks. He still remembered his father telling him that this tavern was not simple and asked him to try not to provoke it, with unspoken apprehension in his eyes.

  When Qin Yong asked him for the reason, Qin Yong finally knew a shocking news.

  Due to the popularity of this tavern, it attracted the attention of other forces, who coveted the huge profits and wanted to take over the tavern. At that time, even the Qin family had such an idea.

  However, Qin Shide did not know the inside story of this tavern and did not dare to act rashly. Until that day, a medium-sized family directly came to the tavern to make trouble, and those who made trouble also returned safely. It was thought that this tavern had no power, and various forces wanted to take action.

  But a shocking scene unfolded, and the family was wiped out the next day, even the old ancestor of the family with the ninth-level Xuan Sheng's strength died miserably on the spot. This stunning result instantly sounded an alarm for everyone, letting them know that this tavern was not something they could afford to pry into. You can come in and consume if you want, but if you make trouble, sorry, you'll have to pay the price.

  For this reason, even the three major families are afraid of it. To know that wanting to eliminate a not-too-large family in one night is quite difficult for them, but this tavern did it easily, which means that this tavern has at least the same strength as their three families, and may even surpass them.

  Since Qin Yong learned about this from his father, he has been very disciplined and frugal every time he comes here.

  It's strange, though - he had never seen the owner of this tavern, and it was always the waiters who were busy, as if the tavern had no owner at all. Yet every time he asked the waiters if there was an owner, they would give the same reply: "The owner is busy and has no time to see you."

  But even if he's busy, it's impossible for him to be busy 24 hours a day, so why haven't I seen him at all?

  "Ah, indeed it's not bad. This Qingfengjiu is really good wine, worth the price." Lin Feng nodded his head and said in a rather approving tone.

  "Right, Lin Feng brother, with your strength so powerful, you should be a disciple of some power, right?"

  Qin Yong casually inquired about Lin Feng's background, knowing that to know oneself and the enemy is to fight a hundred battles with a hundred victories. This was something Qin Yong had always remembered from his father's words, so he asked about Lin Feng's background as soon as he opened his mouth.

  Xiao Xueqing also perked up her ears, staring at Lin Feng with expectant eyes, it was clear that she too wanted to know which faction Lin Feng belonged to.

  Lin Feng smiled slightly, not surprised by the other's inquiry. If he were in their shoes, he would probably do the same. However, he didn't mind letting them know and continued to sip his wine, saying calmly, "I am a disciple of Qing Luan Sect."

  Lin Feng only said he was a disciple, but didn't say he was an outer court disciple, thus avoiding the issue of his formidable strength.

  To know that the outer courtyard disciples' strength is only at the Xuanbing level, and they can only be considered inner courtyard disciples after their cultivation breaks through to the Xuan Master level. This is the same for all three major sects. If he says he's an outer courtyard disciple, they might continue to ask questions later, why does he have Xuan Master-level strength but still be an outer courtyard disciple? It would be hard to explain, so it's better to avoid this boring topic directly.

  When Lin Feng said this, Qin Yong and Xiao Xueqing both thought that Lin Feng was an inner courtyard disciple of Qing Lian Sect. They automatically ignored the wordplay of Lin Feng's words. Qin Yong had some disdain in his heart, thinking that he was just a weak Qing Lian Sect disciple after all. However, he wouldn't say this out loud, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, I see that Brother Lin is from Qing Lian Sect. No wonder you have such formidable strength."

  Although Qinglan Sect's strength is stronger than the three major families, it is weaker compared to the other two major sects, which can be seen from the strength of the disciples of the three major sects in recent years.

  If the other two major sects insist on destroying the Qinglan Sect, it's likely that the Qinglan Sect will indeed suffer a tragic fate of being annihilated. However, the other two major sects won't do so, although the Qinglan Sect is the weakest in terms of strength, eliminating them won't be an easy task and would come at a great cost. This is also why the Qinglan Sect has always been on high alert, afraid of offending the other two major sects in any way, which is indeed a tragic fate for the Qinglan Sect.

  And Lin Feng's fate after returning to his sect was also largely due to this reason.

  But that's how the world is. If you want to avoid being bullied, you have to constantly strengthen yourself, become strong enough to make your enemies fear you, and then they won't dare bully you. On the contrary, they will worry about being bullied by you.

  Xiao Xueqing's heart secretly thrilled upon hearing Lin Feng's words, finally knowing the other party's origins. Suddenly, at this moment, a noisy and chaotic sound came from outside the window.

  "Hmm, what's going on?" Lin Feng asked with some confusion in his heart.

  Qin Yong's eyes lit up as he looked at Xiao Xueqing and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that today is that day?"

  Xiao Xueqing also suddenly thought of it and exclaimed, "It seems like today!"

  What happened after all?
