As for the people around them, they were just as stunned, unable to utter a word. After all, encountering such a ruthless guy, none of them could help but be shocked. Even the old man beside that young man couldn't stop the corner of his mouth from twitching.
However, the young man himself didn't panic at all. Because he was certain that this kid in front of him could not possibly know Cao Ying.
"Lin Feng, what are you doing here?"
Just as his voice fell, a calm voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
Hearing someone call him, Lin Feng turned around. A tall, elegant young man in blue, with rather handsome features, was walking toward them from the back.
"Dan Clan's Dan Xuan?!"
Seeing who it was, the young man from earlier and all the surrounding onlookers were instantly stunned.
Right after, the crowd hurriedly made way. Although the Dan Clan had always kept a low profile, everyone knew very well that a family that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Cao Clan was definitely not simple.
As for Lin Feng, when he saw Dan Xuan, he immediately smiled and said, "So it's my brother-in-law. As you can see, I'm here to attend the Cao Clan's Clan Leader birthday banquet, and I'm lining up."
He had long heard from the Dan Clan that Dan Xuan had left Dan City half a month ago and headed for Cao City. So, upon seeing him, Lin Feng wasn't surprised.
"Brother-in-law?!"
Hearing the way Lin Feng addressed Dan Xuan, everyone around them turned absolutely dumbfounded, their mouths involuntarily opening wide.
Dan Xuan's lips also twitched when he heard the address. But thinking about how Lin Feng and his sister's marriage was basically already decided. Judging from the current situation, this guy had clearly already visited the Dan Clan. Had completely finalized the marriage with his sister.
But when he thought about the little shadow that used to follow behind him every day—his little sister—now having to live together with the man standing in front of him…even the gentle and refined Dan Xuan suddenly found Lin Feng a bit unpleasant to look at.
But considering this wasn't the right place, he shook his head and tossed away those thoughts. Then, remembering that Lin Feng was in line, he asked, somewhat puzzled, "What does your invitation from the Cao Clan look like?"
"Oh, this one."
Hearing the question, Lin Feng casually brushed his storage ring, and under the amazed gazes of the crowd, took out a luxurious, gold-embossed invitation.
Seeing the appearance of the card, Dan Xuan immediately said, "The invitation you're holding is the highest-level one. You can go straight in from the front. No need to line up."
"Hehe, perfect timing, I was getting bored from waiting in line."
Upon hearing that he didn't need to queue, Lin Feng instantly brightened.
He then looked at Dan Xuan, "Brother-in-law, let's go."
Without waiting for a reply, Lin Feng quickly walked toward the front. After all, he was still worried about Xiao Yan's plan to rescue Yao Chen. He wanted to get inside, give his birthday congratulations, and return to Holy Pill City as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if he wasn't prepared yet and Xiao Yan had already gone to rescue Yao Chen. Wouldn't all of his plans fall apart?
By then, he wouldn't even have time to cry.
"…Alright."
With a helpless sigh, Dan Xuan rubbed his forehead and followed Lin Feng toward the Cao Clan's manor gate. The old man behind him, seeing his young master's helpless expression, chuckled as he stroked his snow-white beard and followed as well.
"Young master, young master?"
After they left, the servant beside the stunned young man nudged him, calling softly.
"Dan Xuan… how… how many younger sisters does he have?"
After a long moment, the young man finally recovered from his shock. He grabbed his servant's hand and asked in disbelief.
"Just one. Everyone knows that."
The servant answered, his face turning a little red as he looked at their hands, which were still holding each other.
"One… one…"
The young man didn't notice the embarrassed look on his male servant's face at all. He just kept muttering that same sentence over and over. Then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he grabbed the servant and ran off in another direction.
After all, staying here was no longer an option for him.
"Calling Dan Xuan 'brother-in-law'… don't tell me that guy just now is Dan Chen's husband?"
"It has to be. Dan Xuan only has that one little sister!"
"Sigh, that lucky brat… to actually be chosen by someone like Dan Chen, a true goddess. I'm also a young and handsome genius of a hundred and eighty years old, why didn't Dan Chen pick me…"
"Give it a rest, old man. You're already so old and your strength is only Six-Star Dou Zong. If Dan Chen actually fancied you that would be the real problem."
"Exactly, exactly."
By now, the surrounding crowd had fully recovered from their shock and immediately began chattering amongst themselves again.
"Wait."
Someone suddenly froze as a thought hit him, then he exclaimed loudly.
"You trying to scare us to death? Why shout so loud?!"
"Yeah, keep yelling like that and I'll put a sack over your head tonight."
The man who shouted earlier quickly said, "Dan Xuan just called that guy 'Lin Feng', and if I remember correctly… the champion of the Pill Gathering is also named Lin Feng!"
Whoosh.
Hearing this, everyone stiffened. They might not know what the Pill Gathering champion looked like, but the name… yes, it really was Lin Feng.
"Pa!"
Someone slapped himself across the face, crying out in regret, "Damn it! An once-in-a-lifetime chance to interact face-to-face with a high-grade eighth-tier alchemist, and I actually wasted it!"
The others also showed bitter regret.
After all, forming a connection with a high-grade eighth-tier alchemist could bring unimaginable benefits. Yet such a golden opportunity had been placed right before their eyes, and they hadn't grabbed it…
"Wait, didn't some kid earlier say he'd pull it out… and eat it back up?"
After a moment, someone suddenly remembered the bold declaration made by that young man who had been talking to Lin Feng earlier.
"Right, where's that brat?"
Only then did everyone realize—the young man from before had already vanished.
"There! Over there! Let's go!"
Someone who lived for drama and chaos happily pointed toward a distant corner where two figures were fleeing.
"Yes, hurry! I've lived so many years and I've never seen someone pull it out and eat it back in. Today, I must witness it with my own eyes!"
In an instant, the entire group lost all composure and surged forward like a tidal wave.
Some people, who didn't even know what was happening, simply saw a crowd rushing toward something and assumed there must be some treasure or good stuff. Naturally, they dropped everything and ran after them.
Just like that, the pursuing crowd grew larger and larger without anyone even noticing.
