"This, this young man is your boyfriend? You actually got involved with a student?" Xu Yishan pointed at Lin Feng, stammering his question to Xu Jing after he had regained his composure.

Lin Feng was taken aback that Xu Jing would casually throw out such a shocking statement, struggling to accept it for a moment.

"Yes, well..." Xu Jing shyly nodded her head. "Lin Feng is really mature, and age isn't an issue... Grandpa, for my sake, please help him!"

Only then did Xu Yishan finally take a good look at Lin Feng. With a sigh of resignation, he realized he would have to do this favor, regardless of whether Lin Feng was actually Xu Jing's boyfriend or if it was a lie she had cooked up on his behalf. He couldn't refuse his beloved granddaughter's request, after all.

However, although willing to help, Xu Yishan was still quite annoyed with Lin Feng. Despite being in a position to ask for help, Lin Feng didn't act like he needed it in the least and even allowed Xu Jing to defend him. To make things worse, the young man showed no respect for Xu Yishan, causing his irritation to surge.

With his mood darkening, Xu Yishan indicated the house and said to Xu Jing, "Little Jing, the weather is a bit chilly. Your grandpa is feeling cold. Go into my room and bring me my fox fur coat, please."

Upon hearing Xu Yishan's request, Xu Jing knew he wanted a private word with Lin Feng. After thinking for a moment, she cast Lin Feng a look, signaling him to answer carefully, and then went into the villa.

"This is the first time Little Jing has ever brought a stranger home to meet me... Just what makes you so special that you not only get her to do so much for you, but also have the nerve to admit you're her boyfriend and ask for my help in front of me, an old and obstinate man? Just what exactly is so great about you that warrants all this from my granddaughter?" Once Xu Jing had gone into the villa, Xu Yishan stared coolly at Lin Feng, not quite understanding.

Lin Feng glanced at the villa to find Xu Jing hiding behind the door, sneakily peeking their way, and secretly giving him a 'go for it' gesture. In the midst of finding the situation amusing, he couldn't help but feel touched.

It seemed that Teacher Xu was sincerely trying to help him...

Lin Feng turned his attention back to an obviously frustrated Xu Yishan and calmly said, "There's nothing going on between Teacher Xu and me. She just misunderstood. I don't need any help from you, Old Xu..."

Since reaching an agreement with Long Shaotian, all problems involving the Qingzi Sect had been resolved. However, due to the mission's secrecy, Lin Feng couldn't explain this to Xu Jing, who remained unaware.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's response, Xu Yishan's curiosity about him was piqued further. "Young man, you sure have guts, getting into trouble with the Qingzi Sect but still looking so calm. Sure, the gangs nowadays aren't as good as they used to be, but what's the use of you being a good fighter? Are you going to fight tens of thousands by yourself?"

With Xu Yishan's keen eye, he could clearly see that Lin Feng was an inner strength cultivator, and his cultivation at the third level was certainly not weak. He could understand Lin Feng's confidence.

Lin Feng smiled bitterly to himself. Of course, he couldn't fight tens of thousands by himself. But it wasn't as if the Qingzi Sect would mobilize so many people against him. Besides, he had now been "recruited" by the Qingzi Sect as part of his secret mission...

"I can't disclose the details, but I can tell you that the Qingzi Sect no longer poses a threat to me." Lin Feng looked at Xu Yishan and said with a faint smile, "I am very grateful to Teacher Xu, but there are things that I can't tell her directly. So, I apologize!"

"Heh, young man, you really are something." Xu Yishan's eyes, which looked faintly blurry, suddenly sharpened, flashing with a bright gleam as he looked at Lin Feng. "Do you know who I, Xu Yishan, am?"

Lin Feng honestly shook his head.

"You must know about the Qingzi Sect, right? It has a long history. The organization may seem loose, but it's large and spans all industries, making it one of the major gangs in the Jiangzhou Underground World..." Xu Yishan continued to speak with an air of smugness, "But do you know that the Qingzi Sect originally split from another major gang, the Hong Sect?"

So Xu Jing's grandfather was originally from the Hong Sect. No wonder he carried the aura of a mafia boss... Lin Feng immediately understood. He had indeed heard the legend about the Qingzi Sect splitting from the Hong Sect.

Legend has it that over three hundred years ago, the Hong Sect, also known as the Hong Gang back then, was a famous underground society in the Jiangnan region. Their goal was to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. However, a traitor emerged within the Hong Gang. This traitor changed their mission to protecting the Qing Dynasty instead, leading to the founding of the Qingzi Sect, which originated as a group intended to maintain peace with the Qing Dynasty.

Since then, the members of the Hong Sect have regarded those from the Qingzi Sect as traitors. However, these were stories that happened centuries ago, and Lin Feng didn't know what the current relationship between the Qingzi Sect and the Hong Sect was.

"I've led the Hong Sect for over thirty years. Even Long Shaotian, the Hall Master of the Qingzi Sect's Jiangzhou branch, has to call me uncle when he sees me. As long as you haven't killed his biological son, me saying a word to him would be enough for him to drop any issues with you..." Xu Yishan said, laughing.

The mind works in funny ways. Xu Yishan had initially refused to help Lin Feng, thinking the latter needed his aid. But when Lin Feng revealed he didn't need help, Xu Yishan then wanted to boast a little, hoping Lin Feng would ask for his assistance.

In command of the Hong Sect for over thirty years... Hearing such a grand statement, Lin Feng was genuinely surprised. He never would have expected that Teacher Xu, always so modest, came from such a legendary background, with a grandfather who was an underworld boss...

"It turns out Old Xu has such a magnificent past. I apologize for my earlier ignorance..." Lin Feng said with an admiring smile.

"So, anything else you want to tell me?" Xu Yishan was waiting for Lin Feng to beg for his help, but Lin Feng said nothing further after expressing his admiration.

"What else do I need to say?" Lin Feng was taken aback. He glanced at Xu Yishan and sincerely said, "Old Xu, you look quite robust. Truly a legendary figure who has not lost his zeal..."

"You..." Xu Yishan was almost choked by Lin Feng's words. This kid, he's really a blockhead, stupid to death! I truly don't know how Little Jing can be so good to him.

"I see... So since you don't need my help and aren't concerned about Long Shaotian, you must have joined the Qingzi Sect..." Xu Yishan suddenly chuckled. "Recently, Long Shaotian is planning an underground fighting tournament out at sea. You're pretty capable and very confident, so you must be participating, right?"

As expected, experience counts. Despite him not revealing anything, the old man guessed everything correctly... Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Xu Yishan didn't know that he was an undercover agent for the Falcon Squad within the Qingzi Sect, providing cover for Yan Su's actions.

"I guessed correctly, didn't I?" Seeing Lin Feng's startled expression, Xu Yishan felt quite smug, but his gaze at Lin Feng held a trace of disdain. "You have no eye for good things. If you wanted to make a name for yourself, you should have sought out my Hong Sect. Why go to the Qingzi Sect?"

So... this old man is actually trying to recruit for his old organization... Lin Feng was speechless.

"Lin Feng, I think you're quite capable," Xu Yishan suddenly said, his expression serious. "Here's a deal: if you truly get together with my granddaughter Little Jing, marry her soon, and let me hold a great-grandson quickly, I'll let you be the next Gang Leader of the Hong Sect. How does that sound?"
