Chapter 2423: Chapter 2422: City Lord
Ling Feng responded with a soft "oh" and left the room without saying another word.
After informing the others, they each went their separate ways, ignoring the rebel disciples who stayed behind.
Flying back to his residence, Ling Feng’s mood was rather complicated.
It wasn’t due to the Elder’s attitude, but the actions of Mo Yan that were truly beyond expectations!
A Fourth Grade disciple with such a poor mental state, just for Feiyan, would he really risk the entire Lingjian Mountain?
What was he thinking?
With those thoughts, Ling Feng quickly returned to his home.
As he landed, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu came out to greet him.
It happened every day like this; as long as Ling Feng came back from tracking, they would come to welcome him.
But seeing Ling Feng’s unusual expression today, Xiao Xiao quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen today?"
"Mm, I finally captured Mo Yan!" Ling Feng nodded.
As he said this, Feiyan also came out of the room.
As she looked at him, Ling Feng gave a wry smile and recounted the entire sequence of events.
Hearing about Mo Yan’s betrayal, bringing people from the Dark Domain, and wanting to massacre Fourth Grade disciples, everyone was left stunned.
"Has something like this ever happened in Lingjian Mountain before, and how was it handled?" Ling Feng asked Feiyan.
"I’ve never seen it, but I heard it happened a few generations ago. In the end, the Elder severely punished the rebels, turning them to ash," Feiyan said.
"Oh, then Mo Yan is probably finished as well."
Ling Feng said.
Feiyan bit her lip but said nothing.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Feng said to the three, "Alright, the matter has passed, let’s all go back and rest."
Watching them return to their rooms, Ling Feng then went to his own room.
The night passed very peacefully.
The next morning, after Ling Feng woke up, Xiao Xiao spoke to him; "Brother, Feiyan is missing."
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was startled and quickly asked, "Where did she go?"
"I don’t know, she might have gone back to her own home, she left early this morning," Xiao Xiao said.
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe Mo Yan’s situation was a big blow to her. Let her return for now."
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao said nothing more, nodding her head, "I just wanted to let you know, as to how you’ll handle it, that’s up to you."
Ling Feng chuckled, "I probably won’t have time today, but I’ll find some time to check on her later."
His guess was correct, as soon as the sun rose, the Elder’s voice echoed in Ling Feng’s mind, "Ling Feng, come see me!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng was shocked, not expecting the Elder to wield such powerful abilities, even able to communicate over a distance.
In the past, he never imagined this; he thought if the Elder wanted to meet him, someone would have to notify him.
To use such a powerful method, he had to admit he underestimated the Elder’s capabilities.
Called upon, Ling Feng naturally left home promptly and went to the Elder.
He had thought about it last night that the issue with Mo Yan was not completely resolved, and the Elder would certainly provide an explanation to him or the Fourth Grade disciples of Lingjian Mountain.
Indeed, when Ling Feng arrived, he found not only Fourth Grade disciples but also many Fifth Rank disciples were present.
But not all were there, as Yun Cheng and Feiyan were absent, Ling Feng noticed.
Upon Ling Feng’s arrival, the Elder’s powerful voice reverberated, "Yesterday, a significant event occurred in Lingjian Mountain; a disciple attempted rebellion, bringing an external force to harm their fellow disciples. Fortunately, Ling Feng intervened in time to prevent this!"
Disciples exchanged glances; those in the know remained silent, while the uninformed were utterly surprised.
And then the Elder’s voice came again, "Due to Mo Yan and the rebel disciples’ egregious crimes, I have expelled them from Lingjian Mountain and punished them. Now, to announce that Ling Feng, for his merit in eliminating the harm, is promoted to Second Grade!"
"..."
The scene was silent; everyone was stunned, including Ling Feng himself.
To be directly promoted from Fourth Grade to Second Grade, it was like ascending with rocket speed!
And then the Elder’s voice continued, "Ling Feng, Lady Mu Mu has given up all her rights, how about you?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was taken aback, after thinking briefly, he said, "I won’t give up."
"Very well, the rights of a Second Grade are documented in the Qianji Scroll; you can return to check. Everyone is dismissed."
The Elder’s voice disappeared.
The crowd on the square exchanged glances, and immediately crowded around!
Surrounded by so many, Ling Feng saw nothing but smiling faces and heard nothing but congratulatory voices.
With hundreds gathered, the momentum was quite impressive.
What Ling Feng cared most about now was what rights he had gained, so he quickly shouted, "Alright, thank you all for your kindness, I understand how you feel, thank you, thank you, let’s talk later!"
After speaking, he leaped into the air, escaping the crowd.
No one pursued, merely watching until Ling Feng’s figure disappeared from view.
Arriving home, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu had just returned from the shop.
The entire Lingjian Mountain had received the news, and the two girls naturally came to congratulate Ling Feng at the first opportunity.
"Brother, you’re amazing!"
Upon meeting, Mu Mu immediately said.
Ling Feng wryly smiled, "What’s amazing about that? Just because I’m one rank higher than you?"
"Didn’t we say before that there have been Third Grade in this place, and you directly became Second Grade; it shouldn’t take long to reach First Rank, right?" Mu Mu asked.
"That’s hard to say."
Ling Feng shook his head, "I don’t care about grades, I just want to see what privileges a Second Grade has, let’s go check the Qianji Scroll!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu both nodded, and the three hurried into the room.
They soon discovered that the Qianji Scroll had changed color, turning golden yellow.
"Wow, can this even evolve?"
Ling Feng remarked, quickly asking, "Qianji Scroll, tell me what rights I have now!"
"Yes, Master."
The Qianji Scroll began to explain, "As a Second Grade disciple, the Master will have ownership of a city, becoming its City Lord, with the power to establish rules...."
After a series of introductions, Ling Feng wasn’t too interested in other matters, but the part about becoming a City Lord delighted him greatly.
Owning a mansion and owning a city are vastly different things.
So, with the Qianji Scroll’s guidance, he quickly claimed the city he resided in as his own, naming it Lingxiao City.
Regarding the city’s planning and redevelopment, this wasn’t urgent; he intended to bring Gu Li and others over first!
