Chapter 1342 - 136: Entrustment

So that’s how it is. Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that if the Tianji Sect and Xuanyuan Pavilion had connections, it would be difficult for him to be caught in the middle!

"You probably don’t know how to handle things like black silk cloth. I happen to know a secret potion formula that can soften them quickly for easy cutting. I’ll write it down for you tomorrow!" Lu Lu said with a playful smile to Lin Feng.

"Then thank you in advance, Miss Lu!"

"Haha, you’re calling me Miss Lu again! Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, you really know how to make distinctions, don’t you? When you need something from me, you call me Miss Lu?!" Lu Lu found the title "Miss Lu" a bit too formal and couldn’t help but express her dissatisfaction.

"Ahem, then what should I call you?" Lin Feng chuckled lightly. "I’m so old, calling you ’senior sister’ all the time will only make you sound old!"

"Hmph, then just call me by my name from now on!" Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Lu Lu also felt that letting him call her ’senior sister’ was not ideal, as it made her sound old.

"That works too!" Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with Lu Lu’s suggestion.

"I rarely stay up late, and I’m feeling a bit tired now..." Lu Lu said hesitantly, looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng understood and nodded to her, saying, "You can rest in this room. I’ll keep an eye on Old Su; nothing should happen tonight..."

"Alright!" Lu Lu cast a glance towards Lin Feng as he was leaving, with a face wanting to say something but holding back. Only after Lin Feng closed the door and left did she mutter discontentedly, "That idiot didn’t even thank me tonight after I helped him so much!"

While Lu Lu was feeling frustrated, the door was suddenly opened by Lin Feng again. She was stunned for a moment, staring at Lin Feng, and asked dazedly, "Do you need something?"

"Uh, I just wanted to tell you that I’ll be going back with you tomorrow, so don’t get up too early..." Lin Feng said cheerfully to Lu Lu, "Rest well, good night!"

After saying that, Lin Feng left once more.

However, Lu Lu’s mood suddenly improved a lot, and she couldn’t help but smile gently.

...

When Lin Feng returned to the room outside Su Zhenxian’s, he happened to see Cao Tiannan leading the two Western assassins out.

"Lin Feng!" Cao Tiannan called out to Lin Feng, looking somewhat excited, "Come over here..."

"Mayor Cao!" Lin Feng smiled and looked at Cao Tiannan, asking casually, "What’s up?"

"You really saved the day tonight!" Cao Tiannan extended his hand and gently patted Lin Feng’s shoulder, sighing slightly, and sincerely said, "If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have known these guys actually dared to plot an assassination on Old Su at night. Their plan was too terrifying!"

There are many things you don’t know! Lin Feng glanced at Cao Tiannan but didn’t reveal that Kun Peng had tried to lure him into a trap. He just smiled faintly and said, "I have to thank my brother Xiang Wang. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have discovered the disturbance several kilometers away!"

"Yes! Your friend is indeed impressive!" Cao Tiannan nodded and then pointed to Su Zhenxian’s room, seriously saying to Lin Feng, "Old Su still wants to see you. It’s already late; you should hurry and talk to him. Tomorrow he needs to get up early to catch a flight, don’t delay his rest! I’ll continue keeping watch outside; we’ll catch up another time!"

"Alright!" Lin Feng bid farewell to Cao Tiannan and turned to knock on Su Zhenxian’s door.

"Come in!" Su Zhenxian said weakly.

"Old Su, I heard from Mayor Cao that you wanted to see me?" Lin Feng entered the room, walked up to Su Zhenxian, and asked.

"Yes, I have something to tell you! Have a seat!" Su Zhenxian glanced at Lin Feng and said in a calm tone.

Lin Feng sat very obediently on the chair opposite Su Zhenxian without asking but quietly waited for Su Zhenxian to speak.

"What I want to talk about isn’t tonight’s affair..." Su Zhenxian said lightly, "You did well tonight; I mostly understand what to do next. But this is beyond what you can handle, so I won’t tell you, and it’s also to protect you!"

"I understand..." Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said softly.

"It’s good that you understand!" Su Zhenxian continued, "Tomorrow morning I’ll fly back to the capital on a special plane. I probably won’t have time to see Su Zi... Moreover, I’ve decided that to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Zi won’t come home for the New Year this year!"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, looking at Su Zhenxian in surprise, "Is the situation that serious?"

From Su Zhenxian’s words, he seems genuinely worried about not being able to protect Su Zi... A chancellor of the country worried he can’t safeguard his daughter? What sort of grand battle is about to unfold?!

"I don’t know how serious it is... But about my precious daughter Su Zi, I don’t want her to be in any danger!" Su Zhenxian said calmly, "For the first time, Su Zi won’t be home for New Year’s. I’m putting her in your hands; can you protect her well for me?"

"Of course!" Lin Feng nodded solemnly, "Rest assured, Old Su. As long as I’m alive, I won’t let Su Zi suffer any harm!"

"Good, that’s best!" Su Zhenxian was pleased with Lin Feng’s promise, "Remember, no matter what happens, make sure Su Zi lives well. She’s still young, and I don’t want anything to happen to her..."

Lin Feng remained silent, realizing that Su Zhenxian’s words sounded like entrusting the care of a descendant, emphasizing the dangers Su Zhenxian might face returning home!

Su Zhenxian noticed Lin Feng’s disturbed emotions. He chuckled, shook his head, and said lightly, "Regarding my own affairs, Lin Feng, you don’t need to worry too much... After all, at my age, even if the worst happens, it’s not something I can’t accept!"

Lin Feng didn’t share Su Zhenxian’s carefree attitude. He smiled bitterly and said softly to Su Zhenxian, "Old Su, if the worst-case scenario really happens as you said, I promise I’ll avenge you..."

"Pah! Rubbish, you rascal..." Su Zhenxian froze, then laughed out a scold at Lin Feng, "Who do you think you are, able to overturn the heavens? Someone I can’t handle, you think you can?"

Lin Feng didn’t explain; he feared it would alarm Su Zhenxian... On this planet, those Lin Feng truly wished to assassinate and absolutely couldn’t succeed wouldn’t be many!

"Alright, go find somewhere to rest; I should sleep now too!" Su Zhenxian shook his head, unwilling to say more to Lin Feng as the night deepened.

The next morning, Su Zhenxian indeed took the captives and flew back to the Imperial City on a special plane.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Lu Lu returned successfully to the Jincheng residential area. As soon as they arrived at Villa 3, Lin Feng saw Su Zi, looking tense, coming out of the house, gazing at him with some worry.
