Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1380: Aetheria Empire Part 27

Madam Ying was unamused by his words.

Came from the future?

Who was he trying to fool?

A three-year-old kid?

"Forget it," she shook her head and dusted off some soil from her hand. "The lands are indeed suitable for cultivating the tea leaves. I suppose you do have some skills."

"Thank you for the compliments." Xu Feng gladly accepted it with pride. The planning he did a long time ago could finally be fulfilled.

Seriously, the level of patience he had in this aspect was commendable.

Many would have long given up and sought short-term profits.

However, these types were destined to not have much success. Of course, there would still be a minority who would become successful, but the chances were very slim.

"So when can we begin cultivating?" Xu Feng inquired, clearly hoping to have the tea seed to begin cultivating and stash a few for his own. This part was something Madam Ying already knew.

"I’ve already sent a notice to my people to have the tea seeds delivered to you promptly." Madam Ying responded.

She was in a rush to have her stocks of tea leaves as well. After all, a large part of her attraction in businesses was these Fragrance Teas.

Without them, her restaurant and other venues would be no different than the others.

"Damn, did I fall into your traps instead?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

"Don’t think you’re that clever, Viscount Lin Feng." She mused slyly. Both of them were the same kind. Hence, she was certain that he wasn’t boasting about having lands for her to cultivate the tea leaves.

Indeed, he was taken off guard and forgot that time had changed.

These NPCs were no longer as gullible as they were in the early stages. Their shrewdness could not be underestimated.

Although he didn’t underestimate Madam Ying, he ultimately still ended up being played by her cards. But of course, she was also the same. So in a sense, neither side took complete advantage of the other.

"Since the tea leaves are already on their way, shall we discuss the invitation to an auction?" Xu Feng inquired. The tea leaves were one thing, but the auction was the next thing he wanted to do.

Right now, funds were limited, and Xu Feng needed to stock up more to ensure a smoother journey.

"Alright, shall we return to the empire?" Madam Ying questioned. She had already seen everything there was in Haven Wind Town.

Her evaluation of the town was extremely high and investable.

Naturally, she wouldn’t speak her mind aloud, lest this shrewd man would definitely extort her goods.

To avoid being extorted heavily, she couldn’t express much interest. The only thing she was forced to admit was the training hall.

After all, that facility was truly something everyone coveted.

It would be a lie if the thought of stealing the facility for herself didn’t cross her mind.

However, such a risky move cannot be done on impulse. Not to mention, she was wary of someone like Xu Feng. Someone who was capable of producing war horses when the entire empire lacked them showed a lot of foresight.

’This man can only befriend and not be an enemy.’ Madam Ying thought to herself.

Sometime later, the two returned to the Aetheria Empire.

And unlike the empty streets before, this time, many people seemed to be rushing to a place.

The place they were rushing to wasn’t unfamiliar either because it was the restaurant owned by Madam Ying.

"You’ve told me that you had the items ready for auction, so I just told them to come for the auction. You don’t mind the efficiency, right?" She turned to Xu Feng and asked.

It took him a few seconds to process the situation. He glanced at her in surprise. This kind of efficiency was indeed frightening.

’Looks like I was indeed right. Madam Ying can only befriend and not be an enemy.’ Xu Feng secretly evaluated his opinion of her.

Previously, he only had some recollections of her in the past timeline. He hadn’t actually cooperated with her personally until now.

As the two remained unaware that they were both evaluating each other secretly, they entered the restaurant.

"Madam Ying, you said there will be surprises today. So I hope it really is."

"The current situation is drastic. We can’t afford to waste time here on items not of use to us."

The moment these guests spotted Madam Ying, they started to question and warn her about the consequences if she was wasting their time.

Needless to say, the tone was quite unfriendly. And usually, none of them would dare to use such a tone, much less even interrogate her on the spot.

Alas, time had indeed changed. They were now at war with the Colossuses, so fame and reputation were worth a fart.

Unfazed by their remarks, Madam Ying kept her composure and flashed a warm smile.

"Everyone here has made an immense contribution to the war." She softly spoke and walked toward the center platform.

"I naturally wouldn’t waste anyone’s time for no reason. Allow me to introduce today’s honored guest, who is the true inviter."

Shortly after saying so, she gestured for Xu Feng to enter the stage.

Sure enough, with the spotlights on him, everyone began to be curious about his origin.

To have someone like Madam Ying personally introduce him to them all meant he wasn’t some Tom, Dick, or Harry.

"This person looks so young... could he be of royalty?"

"That can’t be. Look at his clothing and aura. It’s more like those Immortals."

"What is an Immortal doing here, and what is his relationship with Madam Ying?"

While their muttering wasn’t exactly low, Xu Feng cleared his throat and introduced himself.

"It’s good to see everyone here today. As you probably know, I’m an Immortal but also a noble of the Aetheria Empire, Lin Feng."

Like a huge bomb had been dropped, the name Lin Feng resounded deeply to everyone at present.

Who in this circle didn’t know about the name Lin Feng?
