For a moment, everyone at the scene changed their expressions.
People like Lin Mochen, Yuu Sixian, Gong Cheng, and Lee Bufan seemed to have heard the name "Lio Fenyu" before, and their faces turned grim.
However, Ling Feng had no idea who Lio Fenyu was. But even if he had known, it wouldn’t have made any difference.
"Brother Feen, this Lio Fenyu was the captain of the Central Courtyard Sword Team six years ago. He’s already graduated from Heavenly Position Academy, but he joined the Royal Sword Team and became one of their key members,"
Yuu Sixian whispered to Ling Feng.
It suddenly dawned on Ling Feng why this person was so formidable and why he referred to himself as "Senior Brother."
At this moment, the confrontation in the restaurant had undoubtedly caught the attention of countless diners.
"That seems to be someone from Heavenly Position Academy! Tsk, tsk, tsk, who dares to trouble a student of Heavenly Position Academy?"
"Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear that man call himself Lio Fenyu? A key member of the formidable Royal Sword Team, who wouldn’t avoid offending?"
"A key member of the Royal Sword Team? Damn! This will be a good show to watch!"
"Whoever backs down is a coward!"
Everyone loves a good show and doesn’t mind if it gets bigger, but the owner of Mingding Pavilion was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing around in distress.
If a fight breaks out, it would be Mingding Pavilion that suffers the most!
However, seeing such an imposing array, where would the restaurant owner dare to step in to stop it?
Inside one of the second-floor private rooms.
Goo Tengfeng clenched his fist tightly and looked up at Lio Fenyu with a grave voice, "Since you still regard yourself as a ’Senior Brother,’ you must acknowledge your past as a student of the Heavenly Position Academy. So why are you causing trouble for no reason?"
"Do you even deserve an explanation?" Lio Fenyu’s demeanor was utterly contemptuous, "I merely heard your boastful claims about how you plan to defeat my Royal Sword Team and found it amusing. A bunch of rotten fish and shrimp actually dare to fantasize?"
Lio Fenyu’s gaze turned coldly to Goo Tengfeng, "What’s the matter, wasn’t the captain of the Central Courtyard Sword Team that Li Yunting? Has the Central Courtyard Sword Team actually lost to you guys this year?"
"Indeed!" Goo Tengfeng said resolutely.
"Hmph, so the Central Courtyard Sword Team lost to you guys. It seems they’re just a bunch of good-for-nothings! Heavenly Position Academy truly seems to have lost all hope."
Lio Fenyu shook his head, fully adopting an air of superiority.
"How dare you call Brother Li and the others good-for-nothings!" Goo Tengfeng furrowed his brows and said through gritted teeth, "And what’s more, you were once a student of Heavenly Position Academy! How can you so blatantly discredit your own alma mater? Do you have any gratitude at all? How can you face the hard work your teachers have put into nurturing you?"
"Ha ha ha ha, alma mater?" Lio Fenyu burst into uproarious laughter, "It’s nothing more than a stepping stone, what alma mater? Stop disgusting me!"
Instantly, the faces of everyone on the scene turned cold; this man was the epitome of shamelessness.
"Shameless and despicable, lower than pigs and dogs."
Ling Feng sneered coldly, his expression becoming calm, "Captain, why bother saying so much to an animal? As they say, those who do not share the same values do not make plans together. Animal, this place is for humans to stay. How come your owner didn’t secure your leash tightly and let you out?"
"Indeed, animal, you are not welcome here!"
Lin Mochen also snorted coldly. He and Ye Nanfeng were sworn brothers. Seeing Lio Fenyu treat Ye Nanfeng with such viciousness, he had long found this person extremely irritating.
Even if he was a member of the Royal Sword Team.
Even if the sky were falling, they still had Brother Feng here!
In an instant, Lio Fenyu’s eyes blazed with anger as he glared at Ling Feng. This brat actually dared to call him an animal!
Seeing the conflict between Lio Fenyu and Ling Feng intensifying, Yaan Shuying’s lips curved into a smile. She stepped forward, gently tugged at Lio Fenyu’s sleeve, and said softly, "Senior Brother Lio, keep your cool. I need that kid called Ling Feng to help me with something, why don’t we overlook their behavior for my sake, and let them go just this once?"
Hearing Yaan Shuying call him "Senior Brother Lio" several times, Lio Fenyu felt itchingly flattered and quickly nodded, "Hehe, why would I get angry over a bunch of ants? Miss Shuying, rest assured."
Speaking, Lio Fenyu turned his gaze toward his opponents and said coldly, "Did you hear that? For Miss Shuying’s sake, I’ll let you go this time. Who’s Ling Feng? Step forward and dutifully assist Miss Shuying, and you won’t be lacking rewards!"
"The biggest difference between humans and dogs is that dogs will wag their tails and nod their heads for a bite of shit, while humans have something called dignity," Ling Feng said with a light smile, then turned to Goo Tengfeng and the others, "But some people might not understand that. They’re worse than pigs and dogs, after all!"
"Kid, who are you calling worse than pigs and dogs!" Lio Fenyu went berserk again as his anger surged tumultuously.
"Whoever takes the bait is worse than pigs and dogs, right? Oh, I’m sorry, how could an animal have a name? Usually, it’s just something like ’Ah Cat, Ah Dog, Ah Lio, Ah Fenyu,’ right?"
Ling Feng’s words rang out in the entire pavilion, clearly reaching everyone’s ears, without leaving Lio Fenyu the slightest shred of dignity.
For a moment, Lio Fenyu was so infuriated by Ling Feng that he nearly spewed blood. He flung his large sleeves, forcefully suppressed his fury, and thought to himself: Once you’re no longer of value to Miss Shuying, I’ll see how I’ll kill you!
Ling Feng smirked and slowly approached Yaan Shuying, "What, didn’t you get enough of a lesson last time? You’re here to humiliate yourself again?"
Yaan Shuying glared coldly at Ling Feng, her venomous gaze sweeping over Tuoba Yan as well.
She had not forgotten the three slaps Tuoba Yan had left on her face last time. She was determined to take her revenge.
But before that, she had to get her hands on the Youthful Appearance Pill.
She forcefully suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice, "Ling Feng, don’t get too smug. I’ve come this time to gamble with you. If I win, you must help me refine the Youthful Appearance Pill!"
"Not interested," Ling Feng responded without hesitation.
"What, without even asking what the bet or stakes are, you reject outright?" Yaan Shuying said through gritted teeth.
"Not interested means not interested!"
"You!" Yaan Shuying glared at Ling Feng. The Yan Family cogs turned, and she suddenly smiled, "Don’t forget, our Yan Family has something you’ve been dying to obtain. If I provide a clue, I wonder if you’d be interested?"
At these words, Ling Feng indeed hesitated for a moment, his gaze fixed on Yaan Shuying, "Let’s hear it, how do you want to gamble?"
"It’s simple! Anyone here can choose someone to compete against Senior Brother Lio by my side. If there’s even one person who can defeat Senior Brother Lio by a single move or half a move, I, Yaan Shuying, will willingly concede the bet and give you the clue. If no one can defeat Senior Brother Lio, then you must help me refine the Youthful Appearance Pill. Not only that, but from then on, whenever you see me, you must kneel and bow, shouting ’Master’ three times!"
Yaan Shuying sneered, her gaze fixed on Ling Feng, her smile treacherously provocative, "How about it, Ling Feng? Do you have the courage to take this bet with me?"
