Why Don't You Go In?

On this day, Wu Tan City was exceptionally lively. The entire main street was packed so tightly that not even water could pass through, as countless people had rushed over to watch Jia Nan Academy's recruitment team.

On the enormous square, waves of clamor soared into the sky. Countless young people desperately shoved their way toward the center of the square. If not for the official troops maintaining order around its edges, these excited crowds would likely have charged in without a second thought.

From the pavilion of the Mittel Auction House, Lin Feng watched the scene and shook his head. These people were truly terrifying. At this rate, if Xiao Yan and the others had not been brought in by Xiao Yu, they probably would not even have made it through the screening today.

"Little Brother Lin Feng, aren't you going?"

At some point, Ya Fei had come to stand beside Lin Feng. Her cheongsam perfectly accentuated her graceful figure, and her snow-white, alluring legs were dazzling to the eye. She held a small folding fan in her hand, her entire body exuding a mature and seductive charm as a faint fragrance drifted around Lin Feng.

Lin Feng coughed unconsciously. This enchantress truly radiated that intoxicating charm that drove men mad at every moment.

"Going there wouldn't help me much. I might as well go out and gain some experience on my own."

Ya Fei glanced at the sea of people in the distance, then handed Lin Feng the items he had asked her to prepare. "Everything you wanted is in this Naring, Little Brother Lin Feng."

Lin Feng took the Naring and scanned it with his soul force. There was quite a lot inside. "Thank you, Sister Ya Fei."

Ya Fei gently waved the folding fan in her hand, making that captivating fragrance even richer. Lin Feng could not help glancing at her proud figure beneath the cheongsam when Ya Fei's soft, sultry voice reached his ear. "Once you leave, who knows when we'll meet again? All Sister can do is wish you a safe journey."

"If there's a chance, we'll definitely meet again."

Ya Fei looked at those below who were desperately trying to enter Jia Nan Academy, and a trace of disappointment surfaced in her eyes. "Sigh, it would be wonderful if Sister had talent like yours."

Lin Feng also knew what weighed on her heart. As a woman born into the Mite'er Family, with poor cultivation talent, it was extremely difficult for her to gain power. Being sent to a small place like Wu Tan City had not been her wish either; much of it had been forced upon her by circumstance. If Xiao Yan had not helped her in the original story, her fate would likely have been to marry someone she did not love for the sake of the family's interests.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng took out a jade bottle from his Naring and handed it to Ya Fei. "Sister Ya Fei, thank you for taking care of me during this time. These are some medicinal liquids I refined. Soak in them every day, and they can improve your physique."

He then took out another bottle of pills. "These are some medicinal pills that can help with your cultivation. They won't turn you into a genius, but increasing your cultivation speed is no problem. Combined with the medicinal liquid, surpassing some people is entirely possible."

Ya Fei's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared blankly at the two jade bottles Lin Feng held out to her. A warm current surged through her heart.

"Little Brother, you..."

Knowing what she wanted to say, Lin Feng waved his hand. "Sister Ya Fei, there's no need to say any of that. There isn't much else I can do to help you. Consider these Little Brother's final gifts."

Lin Feng checked the time. It was probably about time. Once he found Xiao Yan, he could leave.

"Sister Ya Fei, it's getting late. I should go find Xiao Yan. If fate allows it, we'll meet again."

When he reached the door, he thought for a moment and added, "One more thing for Sister Ya Fei: whatever you want in your heart, strive for it with all your strength. Women can climb to the summit too."

Ya Fei held the two jade bottles Lin Feng had left her and watched the youth's retreating figure disappear. His final words echoed in her mind. Light flickered in her beautiful eyes, and something unnamed began to grow within her heart.

She pushed open the window and watched the white-clothed youth vanish into the crowd. In a soft voice, she said, "Little fellow, thank you."

Lin Feng waited outside the square for a while, but Xiao Yan and the others still had not come out. Looking at the scene before him, he had no idea what was happening inside.

After looking around, Lin Feng found a spot and, with great difficulty, squeezed his way to the front. When he saw the tents, he swept his gaze across them and spotted a familiar figure.

Xiao Yu was leading Xiao Yan and several others inside for testing. A few pretty girls surrounded Xiao Yu, chatting and laughing with her. They appeared to be quite close.

"They must be her friends from the academy."

After thinking it over, he figured that with Xiao Yan around, there would probably be no trouble.

Just as he was about to find a place to wait for them to come out, a gentle voice suddenly called out, "This student, since you're here, don't you plan to go in and give it a try?"

Upon hearing that voice, the image of a gentle, mature beauty immediately appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

Following the sound, he saw a woman in green walking out from inside, smiling at him. Her beautiful face wore a gentle smile, and the movement of her eyes was like a stream of clear water silently flowing through one's heart, making people unable to resist becoming intoxicated by the soft and lively grace unique to a woman.

The woman looked to be in her twenties. Her full, shapely figure carried a mature allure far beyond that of immature young girls like Xiao Yu and Xun Er.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the woman. She was beautiful, with a gentle temperament like spring water.

A gentle, mature beauty.

That was Lin Feng's first impression of her.

The moment this woman appeared, Lin Feng noticed that the gazes of the men around them quietly grew heated. Even some Jia Nan Academy students had unusual emotions in their eyes.

Lin Feng shook his head. It seemed everyone liked this sort of... mature woman.

The woman slowly approached him. The soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion let her through at once. After sizing Lin Feng up, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and admiration as she said gently, "I didn't expect to find such an outstanding prospect here. With this strength and talent, you would certainly rank among the best in the academy."

Lin Feng had not expected this woman to immediately take notice of his talent, but he could only clasp his hands and say, "You're a teacher from Jia Nan Academy, right? I only came here to wait for a friend. I have no intention of joining your academy."

The moment those words came out, the people around them were stunned. In this day and age, there was actually someone who did not want to join Jia Nan Academy? What nonsense was this fellow talking about?

However, some people from Wu Tan City recognized Lin Feng and said, "That's Lin Feng. His talent is so terrifying—his sights aren't something people like us can compare to."

Hearing the discussions around her, the woman became even more interested in the youth before her. When she had first approached, he had stood out as someone moving against the flow of the crowd. Yet after sensing him carefully, she discovered that this youth was actually an eight-star Dou Zhe, which truly shocked her.

She had not expected to encounter such an outstanding person here. With this kind of strength, he could even be admitted as an exception.
