Elder Cousin truly wanted to cry but had no tears; a feast for guests cost him a large sum of Silver.
He had intended to bluff his way through, hoping that beauties like Qiao Yue’er and Yang Fang would worship and be infatuated with him.
Who knew that at the critical moment, everything capsized—the unexpected appearance of the Hong Family Master revealed his true form.
Bleeding inwardly, Elder Cousin had no choice but to force a smile on his face as he bid farewell to Qiao Yue’er. His expression was uglier than that of a Zombie.
"This damned Waste, clearly nothing but trash, yet somehow managed to turn the tables when. Not only did he nearly drive me to bankruptcy, but he also showed off in front of me and stole all the limelight."
Elder Cousin was filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
His wife had always believed that her man was the greatest and looked down on Chu Feng with disdain. However, the lesson given by the Hong Family Master was an eye-opener for her.
She learned not to underestimate anyone so easily.
Seeing her own husband in such a pathetic state, changes imperceptibly took place in her heart. The more she looked at her husband, the less pleasing he seemed.
There’s nothing more frightening than comparison.
Young and handsome, Chu Feng possessed extraordinary abilities and status, and in all respects, had completely crushed her somewhat accomplished husband. This made her feel that her man was useless and brought no honor to her face.
She couldn’t help but twist her husband’s arm and scolded with a pulled face, "You useless thing, can’t even compare to a teenager. You’ve lived twice his age but it’s all gone to the dogs!"
Fearing his wife quite a bit, Elder Cousin couldn’t help but retort, "Who says I’m not as good as him? Just because Chu Feng has some dumb luck today, by chance meeting Hong Family Master who took a fancy to him, he’s popular. But"
"In front of other Alchemy Dao forces, he would have to stand aside. People are ranked differently, and so are Alchemy Dao forces in their strengths and weaknesses. The Alchemy Master Guild I belong to is the most elite among all Alchemy Dao forces. Even the Hong Family Master would be inferior within our Alchemy Master Guild."
"To put it bluntly, Chu Feng, being the Grand Alchemist at Hong Family, is not as good as any Pill Master from our Guild."
The implication was very clear.
Chu Feng being pursued at the Hong Family meant nothing. Only by holding a position in the Alchemy Master Guild could one be considered superior.
Elder Cousin, being a Pill Master of the Alchemy Master Guild, considered himself a notch above Chu Feng.
Just like people from the city naturally feel superior to those from the countryside.
While they were talking, two extremely luxurious carriages stopped one after another at the entrance of the restaurant.
Even the Coachmen were smartly dressed, their eyes sweeping around with an eagle-like sharpness, exuding an aura of dominance. Anyone with a bit of insight could tell that the individuals inside these two carriages must be extremely dignified.
"Out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Don’t block the road!"
As the two carriages approached the entrance, the drivers shouted angrily at Chu Feng and the others who were about to board their carriage.
The eyes of these Coachmen were venomously sharp.
They immediately noticed that Chu Feng’s carriage was of the lowest grade; the vehicle reflected the owner’s status. They were almost certain that the owner of this low-grade carriage must also be from a humble background, perhaps a small wealthy merchant or the like.
They were all haughty servants of great personages; showing off their authority in front of such small-time rich merchants posed no issue.
Moreover, the masters sitting inside the carriages hadn’t intervened and even seemed to give tacit approval.
Chu Danzi turned pale with fear, shivering, instinctively ready to drive the carriage away.
But Chu Feng’s face was icy cold, and a sharpness flickered between his brows.
It was customary for guests to park their carriages in front of the restaurant, and Chu Feng was already prepared to leave. After all, there should be an order to such things.
It was Chu Feng’s carriage that first occupied this parking spot.
Anyone with a noble identity, if they had the slightest bit of manners, would park in the vacant space behind them, or wait for Chu Feng’s carriage to leave before parking there.
Chu Feng has always been a person who’s not easily coerced but can be persuaded with kind words; no one has had the guts to bark orders at him like they would to a servant.
The former Chief Luo of the Sword King Mansion, thought he was so tough, right? In the end, after acting arrogantly in front of Chu Feng a couple of times, a single Bursting Flame Pill sent him to the Western Heaven.
"Chu Danzi, no need for you to move!"
Chu Feng’s voice was steady and forceful. In Chu Danzi’s eyes, Chu Feng was everything; even if he knew obedience meant death, he would follow Chu Feng’s order without hesitation.
Even though he was afraid of the two powerful bodyguards behind him, Chu Feng’s words immediately made him put down Yang Qi’s horsewhip.
He no longer cared about the scolding of the two powerful bodyguards behind him.
"Sister-in-law, Little Lan, no need to rush, take your time getting on the carriage!" Chu Feng said with a comforting smile.
However, Elder Cousin sneered secretly in his heart, a perfect opportunity to teach Chu Feng, the good-for-nothing, a lesson, by using someone else’s hands. His keen eyes could tell at once that both carriages were top-notch luxury carriages.
Especially the one in front, bearing the Royal Family’s badge with a golden dragon engraved above the shaft—definitely belonging to Imperial Relatives.
To dare act so arrogantly in front of such an esteemed person, Chu Feng was minutes away from being treated like a dead dog.
"The few dogs blocking the way upfront, I told you to get lost quickly, are you deaf or blind?"
"Do you know who’s in this carriage? It is Second Prince of the Jianyun Dynasty, dare to delay another second and your heads will roll."
The coachman, a powerful bodyguard, shouted shrilly and fiercely.
And he revealed the identity of the master inside the carriage.
"Who are you calling dogs?" Chu Feng exploded with rage, being insulted him was one thing.
But this bodyguard daring to insult his sister-in-law was unforgivable.
"What if I’m cursing you? Not only am I going to curse you, but I’m also going to beat you up!"
Suddenly, the bodyguard leaped down from the driver’s seat, lifted his horsewhip, and lashed fiercely toward Chu Feng. This man’s cultivation was quite strong; at the tip of the whip, there were actually five distinct Sword Qi results manifesting.
And they shot towards Chu Feng, slashing rapidly.
In this world, everyone cultivated the Sword Dao, and any weapon could be used as a sword.
Using the horsewhip as a soft sword was quite fitting.
Chu Feng didn’t think twice; he directly swallowed a Golden Rune Protecting Body Elixir he had refined to test the power of this elixir.
Logically speaking, it should be able to withstand a full-force strike from a Great Sword Master without any problems.
This person was just at the peak of Sword Master cultivation, and possessed a rather mediocre Five Elements Sword Veins constitution. Thinking he could kill Chu Feng with just one lash was a fantasy.
"Little uncle, be careful!"
Qiao Yue’er, who had just gotten into the carriage, never expected that the other party would attack to kill without a word. Alarmed, she hastily yelled to alert Chu Feng.
"Little Lan, hurry and help Third Prince!" ordered the sister-in-law.
Who knew that Chu Feng wouldn’t dodge or avoid, letting the Sword Qi strike him.
The terrifying Sword Qi, after slashing onto Chu Feng’s body, didn’t cause blood to splatter. There was a faint golden glow on Chu Feng’s body, and he was completely unharmed.
