Chapter 193 Acting
During the meal, Lin Feng chatted with the three people. He learned that these three people moved here because they admired the Nine Emperor Pavilion. They had lived here for seven or eight years and had always lived a peaceful life.
"We have always admired the Nine Emperor Pavilion and feel it is very safe," said Ah Niu with a proud smile on his face. His eyes were filled with admiration for the Nine Emperor Pavilion, as if the Nine Emperor Pavilion was a sacred place in their hearts.
"Yeah, almost no one dares to cause trouble here," Ah Hua also said. Her eyes were full of peace of mind, as if living here, they didn't have to worry about any danger.
Lin Feng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. This was at the foot of Jiuhuang Peak. Anyone who dared to cause trouble here would be slapping Jiuhuang Pavilion in the face. No one would be so foolish.
They chatted about some family matters, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Lin Feng felt the kindness and hospitality of this family, and his heart was filled with warmth.
Finally, Ah Hua arranged for Lin Feng to rest. Lin Feng lay in bed, his heart restless. He pondered his situation and what he should do. He wanted to know what Chen Xin'er thought of him, and he also wanted the Emperor to grant them a marriage. These two questions kept swirling in his mind, preventing him from falling asleep.
Outside the window, moonlight shone like water, spreading across the earth. A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves.
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window, gently casting a light on the humble room, bringing a glimmer of warmth and hope. A new day had begun in this home at the foot of Jiuhuang Peak.
Ah Niu got up early and prepared breakfast. He came to the door of Lin Feng's room and knocked gently, his voice filled with simple enthusiasm: "Brother Lin, get up and have breakfast."
Lin Feng slowly woke from his sleep, rubbing his sleepy eyes and feeling the fatigue set in. Yesterday's experience felt like a nightmare, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted. But now, he knew he couldn't dwell on his exhaustion; there were still many things waiting for him to resolve.
Lin Feng stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the room. When he came to the table, he saw Niu Qing and Ah Hua already sitting there, with warm smiles on their faces, making people feel the warmth of home.
A simple breakfast of steamed buns, porridge, and some pickles was placed on the table. Although it wasn't a delicacy, it seemed particularly precious at the foot of this quiet mountain. Ah Niu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Lin, don't be disgusted. We don't have anything delicious here."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother Niu, this is already very good. It's good to have something to eat." He sat down, picked up a bun, and took a bite. Although the bun was a little hard, it was full of the taste of home.
Lin Feng ate breakfast while lost in thought. His eyes were a little confused, and his heart was filled with worry. Niu Qing looked at Lin Feng's absent-minded look and asked with concern: "Brother Lin, what's on your mind? You look distracted."
Lin Feng came back to his senses and looked at Niu Qing. He felt his concern and felt warm in his heart. He sighed and said, "Grandpa Niu Qing, I actually came to the Nine Emperors Pavilion this time for a friend."
His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and determination as he continued, "In order to repay a favor, the Chen family of Jinyan City arranged a marriage for Chen Xin'er's grandfather with the Nine Emperor Pavilion, intending for Chen Xin'er to marry the Young Master of the Nine Emperor Pavilion as a concubine. However, Chen Xin'er refused to marry. Since we were friends, I wanted to help her resolve the situation, so I came to the Nine Emperor Pavilion to discuss dissolving the marriage. However, the negotiations failed, and a fight broke out, leading to my expulsion."
After hearing this, Niu Qing suddenly realized, "So it's you. I've also heard about this sensation recently, and I didn't expect it was about you." He looked at Lin Feng with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Niu Qing paused and continued, "Your idea is good, but your method is wrong. This concerns reputation. Ordinary people may not care that much, but major sects or important figures do take it very seriously, so this kind of thing is indeed difficult to handle."
Lin Feng nodded. He knew his method might be a bit impulsive, but he really had no other choice. He said helplessly, "I have no choice. Chen Xiner doesn't want to marry, and I can't watch her being forced."
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, I like Chen Xiner, but I'm not sure if she likes me, so I want to confirm it." A hint of shyness and anticipation appeared on his face.
Niu Qing looked at Lin Feng, a hint of understanding in his eyes. He said, "Young man, it's a good thing to have the courage to pursue your own happiness. But it's not easy, so you must be mentally prepared."
Lin Feng said firmly: "I know it's not easy, but I won't give up. I have my own ideas and I want to discuss them with you. I also hope you can help me."
Niu Qing, A Niu, and A Hua looked at each other and nodded. They were all simple and kind people, and seeing Lin Feng's sincerity, they were willing to help him.
Lin Feng said, "After a while, Chen Xiner will most likely come back to find me, and I will pretend to be seriously injured and in a coma, and I won't live long. Then I will see how Chen Xiner is doing."
Niu Qing frowned and said, "Isn't this too risky? If Chen Xiner knew you were pretending, would she be angry?"
Lin Feng said: "I have also thought about this problem, but I have no other choice. I just want to know her true feelings about me. If she doesn't care about me, then I should give up."
Ah Niu said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, we will help you. But you also have to think carefully. What should you do if Chen Xiner really likes you?"
Lin Feng said, "If she really likes me, I will find a way to resolve the problem between us. I will work hard to get Jiuhuang Pavilion to cancel the engagement and give her freedom."
Ah Hua said, "Brother Lin, your courage is admirable. But the Nine Emperors Pavilion is not so easy to deal with. You must be careful."
Lin Feng looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you for your concern and help. I will be careful."
After discussing everything, they began to prepare. They decorated Lin Feng's room like a seriously injured patient's, with herbs and bandages spread all over the bed. Lin Feng also lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing to make himself look unconscious.
They waited for Chen Xiner's arrival, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness. They didn't know how Chen Xiner would react, nor did they know if this plan would succeed. But they all hoped that Lin Feng would find his own happiness and be with Chen Xiner.
Two days later, at the foot of Jiuhuang Peak, sunlight streamed down through the lush forest, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves. Chen Xiner and Xu Tian hurried over on horseback, their figures standing out against the tranquil scenery.
