Damn it, I can't believe I gave in so easily. I'm really losing it... Lin Feng secretly despised himself.

However, Lin Feng truly couldn't resist Wu Mei's actions. He had no good reason to refuse, nor did he want to.

Just then, Lin Feng's phone suddenly rang. Lin Feng grabbed it like a lifeline, finally escaping Wu Mei for the moment. He took the phone from his pocket and answered the call.

"Lin Feng, we agreed I'd take you to meet my grandfather today. I've already arranged a time with him. Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up!" Xu Jing's hurried voice came through the phone. The previous night, after discovering Lin Feng had offended the Qingzi Sect, she had told him she would take him to meet her grandfather.

Although Lin Feng still didn't know who Xu Jing's grandfather was, at this moment, he was more afraid of being with Wu Mei. This could be a life-or-death situation if I'm not careful...

"Teacher Xu, where are you? I'll come find you now," Lin Feng said smoothly.

"Hmph, good that you're sensible. Remember, my grandpa agreeing to meet you is already giving me a lot of face. You need to speak respectfully later and not offend him! I'm at the school's faculty dormitory now. Come straight here!" Xu Jing was satisfied with Lin Feng's promptness and reminded him.

"Okay, I'll be there soon," Lin Feng agreed, then hung up. He turned to Wu Mei, lowered his voice, and said apologetically, "Um, I have something urgent to take care of, so I need to leave for a bit..."

Wu Mei glanced at Lin Feng and said softly, "Find a way to explain things to Long Jiu."

Lin Feng nodded, fastened his belt, and finally fled Wu Mei's room.

Wu Mei watched Lin Feng's departing figure with a faint smile, her face flushed. She murmured to herself, Lin Feng's... thing... is quite a bit bigger than those models in the instructional videos...

When Lin Feng left Fuli Hotel, he spent a long time sweet-talking and half-threatening Long Jiu to convince him not to follow. Lin Feng also subtly hinted that Wu Mei was now exclusively his woman.

Long Jiu, believing Lin Feng was utterly smitten with Wu Mei, decided that as long as he guarded Wu Mei, Lin Feng would surely return. Ultimately, despite his misgivings, he let Lin Feng leave.

「…」

By the time Lin Feng found his car and drove to the faculty dormitory where Xu Jing was, it was already eleven in the morning, nearing lunchtime.

Xu Jing heard Lin Feng had driven himself. Without even bringing her car keys, she came downstairs from the faculty dormitory with a small bag. After waving to Lin Feng, she proactively got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.

"Teacher, who exactly is your grandfather? Why do I have to meet him?" Lin Feng asked, glancing at Xu Jing's attire with some confusion.

Xu Jing was dressed quite conservatively in a blue jacket and practical jeans. Even the bag she carried was gray. She wore little makeup, and her overall demeanor was very modest and elegant.

"You ask so many questions. You'll find out when you meet him," Xu Jing said, giving Lin Feng a slightly displeased glance and then chuckling softly.

She's being so mysterious! Lin Feng was speechless. Is Xu Jing's grandfather an alien, or maybe a demi-human?

"Which way do we go? I don't know the route," Lin Feng asked as he started the car.

"Just get on the highway towards the West Suburbs. I'll give you directions at the exit," Xu Jing said in a low voice, looking intently at Lin Feng. "Let me remind you again, I'm taking you there because I'm asking my grandfather for help. His temper isn't great, so be careful what you say and don't offend him!"

"Alright, alright... I'll listen to you. I'll act like a model grandson later and definitely won't do anything to displease him," Lin Feng readily promised.

"Pfft... His grandson? You wish!" Xu Jing teased Lin Feng. "If you were my grandpa's biological grandson, wouldn't that make you my younger brother? I don't have a mischievous younger brother like you!"

"What are you talking about, Teacher? You just don't know me well enough. I'm definitely a model student. How can you call me mischievous? The word 'mischievous' doesn't even exist in my dictionary!" Lin Feng boasted casually.

"So thick-skinned!" Xu Jing retorted.

"The phrase 'thick-skinned' also doesn't exist in my dictionary," Lin Feng replied smugly.

"You..." Xu Jing was truly defeated by Lin Feng. His skin really is unbelievably thick.

「…」

Following Xu Jing's directions, Lin Feng's car turned off the West Suburb Highway at the fifth exit onto a regular street. After driving for about another ten minutes, they arrived outside a lush, green, manor-style villa.

The villa building looked a bit old, but its open courtyard was very large. The lawn within the wooden fence was planted with various flowers and plants, looking vibrant and full of life.

After seeing this small estate, which covered nearly two acres, Lin Feng grew curious about Xu Jing's background. In a place like Jiangzhou City where land is gold, even in the nearby suburbs, a property this large isn't something you can build just by having money!

Who on earth is Xu Jing's grandfather?!

"Later, watch my signals and don't say anything unnecessary!" Xu Jing looked somewhat flustered as she cautiously reminded Lin Feng.

"Is that really necessary, Teacher? We're just going to meet your grandfather, not committing a crime. Why are you so on edge?" Lin Feng was puzzled by Xu Jing's state.

"Hmph, it's all your fault for causing such big trouble with the Qingzi Sect! It's making it so awkward for me to ask Grandpa for help. Anyway, just listen to me. I wouldn't harm you," Xu Jing pouted and grumbled at Lin Feng, somewhat displeased.

Lin Feng was momentarily captivated by the fleeting girlish charm Xu Jing displayed. So, the teacher isn't old at all!

"What are you looking at? There's nothing to see," Xu Jing said, glancing at him. Honestly, Lin Feng! I'm your teacher; how can you stare at me like that?

Lin Feng nodded very seriously. "Of course, Teacher, you look beautiful."

"Pfft... Smooth talker," Xu Jing said, then opened the car door. With a graceful twist of her slender waist, she stepped out lightly. "Hurry up and follow."

Lin Feng followed Xu Jing into the estate. They walked down a pebble-paved path and arrived under a grape arbor. There, he saw an elderly man sitting leisurely in a rattan chair, sipping tea. A young girl, about sixteen or seventeen, stood beside him, holding a tray with a tea set and attending to him.

The old man appeared ancient, his skin deeply wrinkled. If not for his piercingly bright eyes, one might hardly believe he was alive. Yet, Lin Feng didn't dare underestimate him in the slightest.

To be precise, the moment Lin Feng saw this old man, his guard went up completely.

This seemingly decrepit old man exuded an incredibly terrifying, invisible pressure. It made Lin Feng feel an urge to buckle at the knees just standing before him. Could he be... a fifth-layer Innate master of Inner Strength?!
