Thinking of this, Cao Tiannan’s mood suddenly brightened. He smiled at Su Zi and casually asked, "By the way, Miss Su, do you know my daughter? Her name is Cao Ying — it seems she once served as your substitute teacher?"
"So Mayor Cao is Sister Cao Ying’s father?" Su Zi widened her eyes. Of course, she knew Cao Ying... Although Cao Ying never taught her class, with Lin Feng around, she naturally knew of Cao Ying’s existence!
"It seems you really do know her... That’s good, that’s good..." Cao Tiannan finally took a breath of relief. Even if Cao Ying never taught Su Zi, at least they knew each other — which was nice, at least there’s a topic!
"Yes, of course I know her. Sister Cao Ying is very approachable; I love chatting with her..." Su Zi glanced at Lin Feng, then smiled and spoke courteously to Cao Tiannan. Of course, this was somewhat diplomatic — whenever she saw Lin Feng with Cao Ying, she wished she could rush up and beat Cao Ying. How could there be any topic of conversation with her! As for whether Cao Ying is nice, who can tell? She doesn’t really know Cao Ying!
Lin Feng listened to Su Zi’s words and felt a bit uneasy... In his memory, the relationship between Cao Ying and Su Zi was just so-so!
"Well, so Tiannan’s daughter even served as a substitute teacher? Hehehe..." Su Zhenxian suddenly spoke up, showing interest in Cao Ying’s stint as a substitute teacher.
"Yes, during her senior internship, my daughter couldn’t find a suitable position. She coincidentally heard my spouse mention that the English teacher at School No. 1 was sick, and as a foreign language major, she volunteered to be a substitute teacher for half a semester. Thankfully, she didn’t mislead the students; otherwise, it would be really embarrassing!" Cao Tiannan explained with a smile.
"You’ve got too little confidence in your daughter, Tiannan! Since she passed the school’s assessment, it shows she has the ability. You really shouldn’t have such a petty mindset!" Su Zhenxian replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Old Su’s criticism is right, it’s my pettiness..." Cao Tiannan wasn’t annoyed by Su Zhenxian’s reproach; in fact, he agreed with him.
The two continued chatting about educating children.
Lin Feng sat there sipping his tea. During this time, he noticed Lu Qiang and three other bodyguards exchanging glances, frequently looking at him with seemingly ill intentions... Lin Feng figured they wouldn’t dare act up in front of Su Zhenxian, so he simply ignored them.
A while later, Cao Tiannan had to leave and bid farewell, leaving Su Zhenxian, his daughter, and Lin Feng in the pavilion. Su Zhenxian, feeling a bit dull, was about to ask his secretary to check the afternoon schedule...
Just then, a very young bodyguard suddenly spoke, "Chancellor Su, we heard that this Mr. Lin Feng is the mysterious expert who helped your family last time in the Imperial City, right?"
Su Zhenxian slightly frowned and looked up at the bodyguard named Liao Zifeng, revealing a hint of displeasure on his face... Unless there’s a security issue, these guards should not speak casually. Liao Zifeng had already broken protocol! Unfortunately, these bodyguards weren’t under his command, even if they violated rules, Su Zhenxian would at most notify Long Zhentian to handle it. However, for such a minor issue, Su Zhenxian wouldn’t casually bring it up to Long Zhentian...
Was Liao Zifeng aware he wouldn’t face any consequences? With this thought, Su Zhenxian grew more displeased.
"Liao Zifeng, do you have any questions?" Su Zhenxian asked in a stern tone.
The young bodyguard named Liao Zifeng glanced provocatively at Lin Feng and chuckled, "Chancellor Su, it’s like this, I’m a martial arts practitioner and love sparring with experts. After hearing Mr. Lin Feng is so formidable, I’m eager to practice with him. Do you mind?"
Su Zhenxian cast a glance at Lin Feng and then said indifferently, "Such things, I can’t make decisions for him. If you’re truly interested, feel free to ask Lin Feng!"
Liao Zifeng turned to look at Lin Feng, a proud expression on his face appearing!
Lin Feng knew Su Zhenxian was in a bad mood now... He glanced twice at Liao Zifeng, noticing the young man seemed to be in his twenties, yet already a peak fourth-tier Inner Strength expert — he indeed had some skills!
One must know, because of his excessive potential explosion from the Elixir Liquid battle against Jade Raksha the day before, Lin Feng’s body was still somewhat weak. Now he appeared to be only at the fourth-tier Inner Strength level, seemingly unimpressive, so Liao Zifeng challenging him was quite reasonable!
However, if Lin Feng were to straightforwardly accept the challenge, wouldn’t Liao Zifeng be too pleased?!
Therefore, Lin Feng merely glanced at Liao Zifeng and then shook his head, "I won’t fight you, you’re not my opponent; there’s no point in fighting..."
Lin Feng was being truthful, not boasting purposely. Although he was low on Inner Strength today, his Innate Vitality remained — defeating Liao Zifeng was truly not difficult.
Liao Zifeng’s face flushed instantly upon hearing Lin Feng, as he hadn’t expected that even though he was known as a young expert among the Long Family bodyguards, Lin Feng would belittle him. Liao Zifeng thought that even though he was a fourth-tier Inner Strength expert, Lin Feng’s aura felt weaker than his; in a real fight, who wins isn’t certain!
"What arrogant words!"
Before Liao Zifeng could speak, Lu Qiang had already vocalized his thoughts.
After criticizing Lin Feng, Lu Qiang turned to Su Zhenxian, adopting a very humble posture as he spoke, "Chancellor, please don’t blame Zifeng for being impulsive! As martial artists, we must undergo real contests to progress; Zifeng’s interest was genuine, without any intention of offense!"
Lin Feng looked somewhat surprised at Lu Qiang; he hadn’t expected Lu Qiang to get smart so quickly and lower his stance, even offering a proactive apology. Lin Feng thought he’d rely on being backed by the Long Family and stay firm!
Su Zhenxian, seeing Lu Qiang’s apology, waved his hand dismissively, responding with indifference, "I know young people are impulsive; he’s still young, I won’t hold it against him! However, Lin Feng has already made it clear: Liao Zifeng is not his opponent, and he doesn’t want to fight."
After speaking, Su Zhenxian looked at Lu Qiang with interest, as if hinting something.
"Chancellor, isn’t your statement too absolute? Without a spar, how can he claim victory for sure!" Liao Zifeng, youthful and spirited, ignored caution and loudly retorted upon hearing Su Zhenxian’s words.
Seeing Liao Zifeng’s continued impulsiveness, Lu Qiang felt somewhat displeased; however, since Liao Zifeng was his subordinate, he had to stifle his frustration and pretended to be amicable as he spoke to Su Zhenxian, "Chancellor, how about letting them try?"
