Seeing Miao Yuting puff up with anger, Chu Yang still looked at her full of hope, "Tingting, when do you plan to make Ling Feng embarrass himself?"

Miao Yuting glared at Chu Yang fiercely, "Hmph, I am not the kind of person who kicks someone when they're down! Since he has bullied you, as a man, you should seek revenge yourself. If I intervened, wouldn't that be a great insult to you? So, I put away the Puppet Gu!"

Miao Yuting was lying through her teeth but inside, she was seething with hatred for Ling Feng, having never experienced such a swift failure of her Gu Technique before!

Chu Yang was stunned; he had not expected Miao Yuting to go back on her word in the blink of an eye!

However, Chu Yang didn't press the issue, as in his eyes, Ling Feng's days were numbered anyway – why bother seeking discomfort now?

"When my plan is complete, that will be the end of you, Ling Feng!" Chu Yang licked his lips and stared malevolently at Ling Feng's back.

Liu Yuwei's birthday party was divided into two parts. The outer section was mainly for networking with Liu Yuntian, whereas Liu Yuwei and her close friends had a smaller gathering in a room!

To Ling Feng's embarrassment, in this smaller gathering, he was the only man present; all the others were girls!

"Yuwei, what gift did your Brother Feng give you? Show everyone," Lina said, glancing at Ling Feng with ill intent.

Cradling the box, Liu Yuwei boasted, "This is from my brother, and I want to look at it alone!"

"Shared joy is a double joy, I bet the gift must be really special, right?" Lina continued.

Ling Feng shrugged helplessly, it seemed that the lesbian Lina didn't have a very good impression of him, otherwise, she wouldn't be targeting him over and over again!

Liu Yuwei turned her gaze towards Ling Feng, actually not eager to open the gift in front of everyone!

Because all the presents from her girlfriends were valuable, and if Ling Feng's gift appeared modest in comparison… Though Yuwei herself didn't mind, she subconsciously wanted to be considerate of Ling Feng's feelings.

"Since everyone wants to see it, go ahead and open it!" Ling Feng said with a slight smile, "I didn't know what to give you, so I just wrapped up something simple from my inventory!"

Inventory? The women imagined a huge warehouse in their minds, corners covered with spider webs, piles of scattered goods…

With Ling Feng's approval, Liu Yuwei opened the box curiously.

"Wow! So beautiful!" When the box was opened, all the girls couldn't help but widen their eyes.

In the center of the box was a lifelike butterfly hairpin, and what was astonishing was that it was carved out of diamonds! Under the illumination of the light, it emitted a captivating glow!

"This…" Lina was somewhat stunned by the beautiful hairpin.

Liu Yuwei couldn't resist and put it on her head immediately, "How does it look?"

"Very beautiful!" Ling Feng said with a beaming smile, "It seems this hairpin suits you very well!"

Liu Yuwei said gleefully, "Brother, you're really good at keeping us guessing, calling it inventory. I thought it was something else!"

The diamond hairpin was valuable, but Liu Yuwei didn't decline and wore it straight away.

It was clear that Liu Yuwei wasn't stand-offish with Ling Feng! She already considered Ling Feng as family, as her brother!

"By the way, brother, this must have cost you quite a bit, right?" Liu Yuwei turned and asked.

"Didn't I say it? It's from the inventory!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "It's no use just keeping it around, so I thought it would make a good gift for you!"

"Inventory!" The girls were genuinely stunned.

"Brother, are you in the diamond trade?"

Ling Feng, puzzled, said, "Haven't I told you that I have a diamond mine in South Africa?"

As soon as he spoke, the eyes of all the girls around blazed with intensified excitement! The idea of a diamond mine instantly conjured up countless diamond necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets in their minds...

The disdain that had previously been evident in the eyes of a few of the girls now vanished, replaced by amazement and envy!

In fact, as soon as Ling Feng and Liu Yuwei arrived, he noticed a tinge of disdain from some of Yuwei's close friends towards himself!

In their eyes, he was probably just a smooth-talker who had deceived Liu Yuwei, all to cling to the coattails of Liu Yuntian!

Although Ling Feng didn't care about their opinions, he was now Yuwei's brother, after all. At the very least, he couldn't let Yuwei's friends look down upon him. Therefore, he decided to reveal his gift openly, and at the same time, he wanted to tell Liu Yuntian that his recognition of Liu Yuwei as his sister had nothing to do with him!

Two hours later, Liu Yuwei's birthday party came to an end. Ling Feng had simply been an onlooker, while Liu Tingyu had unexpectedly hit it off with the girls.

Just as Liu Tingyu was bidding farewell to everyone, Saint Di Anfu approached Ling Feng and whispered, "The Power of Light inside Liu Yuntian is much stronger than in Liu Yuwei. Therefore, I am certain that the Scepter of Kings is in Liu Yuntian's hands!"

But Liu Yuntian, a major Huaxia businessman and a famous magnate worldwide, attracted far too much attention. Even the Papal Court of Light wouldn't dare to take action against him lightly!

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me," Ling Feng said calmly. "Since I promised to help you retrieve the Scepter of Kings, I will definitely find it for you!"

At that moment, Liu Yuntian came walking over from a distance. Saint Di Anfu nodded to Ling Feng, then turned and left.

"Shall we talk?" Liu Yuntian arrived beside Ling Feng and said.

Although it was a question, Liu Yuntian's tone was certain because he knew Ling Feng wouldn't refuse him!

Ling Feng smiled faintly and followed Liu Yuntian.

The two of them arrived at the fishpond in front of the door. Liu Yuntian spoke calmly, "When did you meet Yuwei?"

"More than a month before the New Year," Ling Feng wasn't intimidated by Liu Yuntian's presence: "That day I had just returned from abroad. On the way back, I caught a ride in Yuwei's car. She was the one who helped me get home. She truly is a good girl!"

Liu Yuntian looked at Ling Feng with a complex gaze: "You forgot to mention what happened on Wolf Mountain, didn't you?"

"The incident on Wolf Mountain?" Ling Feng smiled slightly: "I think discussing that matter is pointless now, isn't it? After all, Yuwei has completely given up that place, hasn't she?"

Liu Yuntian said earnestly, "That may be the case, but I still want to formally thank you! If it weren't for you, I can't imagine what would have happened!"

"Aren't you being too formal, Uncle Liu?" Ling Feng said with a smile.

Liu Yuntian shook his head: "I, Liu Yuntian, have always been straightforward in my dealings. At that time, you were not yet Yuwei's brother, so I must thank you!"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, surprised at Liu Yuntian's insistence!

"I'm not a very qualified father!" Liu Yuntian sighed: "I can see that Yuwei is very fond of you. She truly considers you her real brother, so... please take good care of Yuwei in the future!"

"Aren't you worried that I could be a con man?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

"I'm quite good at judging people!" Liu Yuntian said indifferently: "If you could fool both me and Yuwei, then we'd accept it!"

Ling Feng smiled slightly: "Don't worry. I've always wanted a sister, so I will do my utmost to protect Yuwei. Rest assured!"
