Chapter 224 Chen Shanchang and Lin Feng Confrontation

Just when Lin Feng was full of doubts, Chen Xiner and Chen Yu shouted in surprise at the same time: "Grandpa! The old patriarch!"

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Chen Xiner, asking with a puzzled look on his face: "Grandpa? Is that old man your grandpa?"

Chen Xiner nodded happily and said "hmm". Lin Feng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Then he said to Chen Yu and Xu Tian, ​​"Brother Chen, Xu Tian, ​​you two wait here for a moment."

After saying this, Lin Feng picked up Chen Xiner. He took a deep breath, pushed hard with his feet, and with a run-up, he rushed towards the lake like an arrow. He tapped the surface of the lake with his toes, and each step created tiny ripples. His figure was like a light bird in flight, and in a few takeoffs and landings, he flew to the pavilion.

After Chen Xiner was put down by Lin Feng, she ran to Chen Shanchang's side with joy, like a happy little bird. She pulled Chen Shanchang's clothes and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, why are you here?"

Chen Shanchang looked at Chen Xiner with eyes full of doting. His wrinkled hands gently stroked Chen Xiner's head and said, "My dear granddaughter, Grandpa has been in seclusion for a long time, but I haven't seen you since I came out. I missed you so much that I came to see you. Have you been bullied?"

Chen Xiner blinked her eyes and said mischievously, "How can I be bullied? Xiner is being well protected now." As she spoke, a blush appeared on her face.

Chen Shanchang looked at Chen Xiner's shy expression and understood something. He smiled and said, "Oh? It seems my granddaughter has met someone who makes her heart beat."

Chen Xiner's face turned even redder. She stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, stop making fun of me." Chen Shanchang burst into laughter, and his hearty laughter echoed on the lake.

Chen Shanchang asked again with concern, "Xin'er, did you have a smooth journey? Did you encounter any danger?"

Chen Xiner answered seriously: "Grandpa, although we encountered some minor troubles along the way, they were all resolved."

Chen Shanchang frowned slightly and said, "Xin'er, if you encounter any danger, you must tell grandpa, and grandpa will help you solve it."

Chen Xiner nodded obediently and said, "I know, Grandpa."

Chen Shanchang then asked, "Xin'er, tell Grandpa what interesting things happened along the way?"

Chen Xiner's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Grandpa, we encountered a group of bandits in Chijin Mountain. But Lin Feng was very powerful and subdued them all."

Chen Shanchang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Oh? You subdued the bandits? That's not an easy task."

Chen Xiner said, "Yes, Lin Feng is very powerful. Those bandits originally wanted to go against us, but after they learned how powerful Lin Feng was, they all became obedient."

Chen Shanchang nodded and said, "It seems that this Lin Feng is indeed quite capable."

After they finished talking, Chen Xiner took Chen Shanchang's hand, pointed at Lin Feng and said, "Grandpa, this is Lin Feng. He is very powerful."

Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly clasped his fists and bowed, saying very politely, "Junior Lin Feng, greetings to Patriarch Chen."

Chen Shanchang nodded slightly and said, "Little friend Lin, there's no need to be so polite. Come and sit down." As he spoke, he made a gesture for someone to sit down. Chen Minghui had been standing quietly behind Chen Shanchang. He and Lin Feng looked at each other and nodded slightly.

After Lin Feng sat down, Chen Shanchang gently waved his hand, and a stream of invisible Qi gushed out from his palm. The Qi, like a wielding ribbon, wrapped around the teapot. The teapot slowly tilted, pouring the fragrant tea into the cup. Then, as if supported by an invisible hand, the cup slowly floated to Lin Feng's front before settling gently on the table.

Lin Feng bowed respectfully, then lifted the teacup and brought it to his nose for a gentle sniff. The aroma of the tea filled his nostrils. He opened his mouth slightly and took a sip. The tea spread in his mouth, and a sweet flavor spread across his tongue. Lin Feng praised, "The fragrance is overflowing, and the taste is sweet. Excellent tea!"

Chen Shanchang picked up the teacup and blew gently to remove the hot steam. His eyes seemed to casually scan Lin Feng, and then he slowly said, "Little friend Lin, your reputation is well-known in the martial arts world. However, I have also heard some rumors about you. I wonder if they are true or not?"

Lin Feng knew in his heart that Chen Shanchang was testing him. His eyes became deep and he said calmly, "Old Patriarch, rumors in the martial arts world are hard to tell apart. I wonder what rumors you have heard?"

Chen Shanchang narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Lin Feng with a gaze as sharp as a torch. His wrinkled face showed few expressions. He slowly said, "I heard that young friend Lin can fight with a grandmaster. Such courage is really amazing." His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in this quiet lakeside pavilion.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, with a hint of humility in his eyes and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He said, "Old Patriarch, this is just a rumor in the martial arts world. Don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously." His tone was very flat, as if he didn't care about the rumor at all.

Chen Shanchang shook his head slightly. He picked up the teacup and blew away the hot steam on it gently. His eyes never left Lin Feng and he said, "My dear Lin, don't be modest. Although the rumors in the martial arts world are exaggerated, they are not completely groundless. You have such a reputation at your age. You must have some real skills." There was a hint of temptation in his words, trying to get some clues from Lin Feng's reaction.

Lin Feng's heart moved slightly. He knew that Chen Shanchang was testing him. He said calmly: "Old Patriarch, this world is so big, and there are many talented people. I am just a coincidence. I don't have any real ability." His expression was still calm, but he was secretly alert in his heart.

Chen Shanchang put down the teacup, looked at Lin Feng sharply, and said, "Coincidence? Opportunities in this world will not fall on one person casually. Little friend Lin must have some extraordinary qualities to be able to seize the opportunity." His words became more and more sharp, trying to peel off Lin Feng's disguise.

Lin Feng raised his head slightly and looked into Chen Shanchang's eyes. There was a firmness in his eyes as he said, "Old Patriarch, I, Lin Feng, am just a passer-by in the world. I just want to do something that I think is right. As for those false reputations, I don't care." There was a hint of sincerity in his words, but also a hint of concealment.
