Chapter 1661: Chapter 895: Riding Together on One Horse
Seeing that she had successfully matched a good marriage, regardless of whether they would ultimately succeed or not, Chen Susu felt she had done her best and could only offer her blessings in her heart.
"The martial arts competition for marriage is set for three days from now; Lin Gongzi, you must be prepared."
Chen Susu solemnly reminded Lin Feng, and seeing Lin Feng nod, she felt relieved.
The few people in the tent chatted for quite a while; the previously hot milk tea had now cooled down a bit. Chen Susu rose and saw Lin Feng and Su Liqian out.
The attendants had already brought Lin Feng’s horse over. The attendant was very clever, only bringing Lin Feng a horse, without Su Liqian’s; perhaps this was arranged by Chen Susu beforehand, hence such meticulous preparation.
Su Liqian at this moment was anxious, hardly remembering these details. Lin Feng helped her onto the horse, letting Su Liqian sit in front, and then he mounted. The two rode together as the horse trotted toward the Clan Leader’s camp.
This vast land was the territory of the Giant Wood Clan, with people everywhere overseeing the area, making all places relatively safe.
It wasn’t long before Lin Feng and Su Liqian, riding one horse, appeared before the camp. News was quickly sent from the top of the watchtower, saying that Miss and Lin Feng had returned together.
The Giant Wood Clan Leader personally went out to greet them with a group, worried as ever when the girl was away for just a day.
Among those following the Clan Leader was Luo Tuo, who saw Lin Feng and Su Liqian riding together jovially, and felt a sudden pang of anxiety.
The person next to him hurriedly said, "How is it that Miss Su is together with that man from Central State? You were supposed to fetch her back."
Then, patting Luo Tuo on the shoulder, he clenched his fist, wearing an expression that said he wouldn’t let Lin Feng succeed, and spoke:
"In three days at the martial arts competition for marriage, I will surely disgrace him and kick him out of our Giant Wood Clan."
After speaking, Luo Tuo’s mouth curled into a slight smile.
The Giant Wood Clan is very loyal to marriage; within a woman’s lifetime, she can only marry one person. Unlike the customs of Central State, where the Giant Wood Clan’s men also take only one woman as a wife. While in Central State’s tradition, a man with multiple wives is already customary. Men are morally degenerate, treating women as playthings; this has become the norm in Beijing.
Lin Feng deeply felt that the Human Realm, if not changed, would just walk its path to destruction.
At this time, Lin Feng’s horse had already arrived in front of the Clan Leader. The Clan Leader stopped, called out to Su Liqian: "Girl, you’ve finally returned."
Lin Feng dismounted, then helped Su Liqian down. She stepped off without any extra gestures, keeping her head down and silently walked directly into the camp.
Seeing Su Liqian ignoring him, the Clan Leader could only speak with Lin Feng:
"The great hero has brought my niece back, really hard work it has been. Please swiftly join me in the hall; I’ve already ordered tea to be prepared."
Lin Feng, hearing this, thought again about drinking tea and wondered why the people of the Giant Wood Clan love tea drinking so much. Even though he thought this, he still clasped his fists and respectfully followed the Clan Leader’s manner very courteously.
Lin Feng was dressed in a white robe, looking very handsome and unrestrained.
Accompanying the Clan Leader into the hall, they sat down and began their conversation.
"Indeed, Lin Da Xia is extraordinary, drinking the Spirit Pond wine and only sleeping for three days. The last time I drank it, I slept for a whole seven days before waking."
The Clan Leader appeared kindly and smiling with the warmth of springtime.
Hearing the Spirit Pond wine, Lin Feng thought of the Bihua Spirit Pond Water; pondering how the stout cultivator had recovered, even better than before, when on the brink.
With these thoughts, Lin Feng inquired to the Clan Leader: "The Spirit Pond wine, is it brewed from the Bihua Spirit Pond Water passed down through your noble clan for generations?"
The Clan Leader chuckled and replied to Lin Feng: "Though this Bihua Spirit Pond Water is indeed extremely precious, accumulating the spiritual energy of nature for countless years to form such a pool of water. This jar of wine is also a reward from the Giant Tree Spirit to successive Clan Leaders; despite its value, compared to the hero’s kindness, the old one can only offer his private collection as a gift. I believe it can exert even greater effects upon you all."
Only now did Lin Feng understand why merely getting drunk made him sleep for three days.
Lin Feng thought of Wu Fa, guessing that Wu Fa, after drinking quite a bit, may still be asleep. The Clan Leader once slept for seven days; at Wu Fa’s current level of Seven Spirit Knot, he would surely sleep several days before awakening.
Lin Feng spoke many words with the Giant Wood Clan Leader before returning to his own room.
He didn’t ponder much but quickly sat down to meditate.
The Clan Leader told him that the Giant Wood Clan had already begun to inquire about the Six Great Sects in the surrounding areas. The good news was they hadn’t discovered any bodies along the way, which means the people of Six Great Sects are still relatively safe.
But today, in Chen Susu’s tent, Lin Feng learned that Su Liqian’s elder from Phoenix Cliff had already been killed by black-clothed pursuers. Su Liqian painstakingly escaped with the sect’s treasure, fleeing into the valley. Yet, unexpectedly, the black-clothed pursuers continued chasing her. Fortunately, at a critical moment, she encountered Lin Feng and his companions...
Lin Feng was very curious why the black-clothed men wanted to seize Phoenix Cliff’s sect treasure. He thought left and right and couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, there is now some clue, and Lin Feng believes by pursuing this clue he could surely uncover more of the secrets hidden within it.
