Yang Chen nodded in shock. When he looked at Liu Feng, a trace of fear showed in his eyes.
He was too strong!
With only the slightest lift, Liu Feng had unleashed an aura that even Yang Chen couldn't withstand.
Yang Chen wasn't some novice who had only just entered the world of ability users anymore!
And yet, even now, when the Blade Case had merely cracked open, Yang Chen still couldn't bear it. Just what level of power had this man reached?
Yang Chen's estimation of Liu Feng rose even higher.
"Your disciple pays his respects to you, Master!"
Yang Chen bowed to Liu Feng and spoke solemnly.
Only now did Yang Chen truly accept the master Chen Tianxin had found for him!
Before, he'd still had some reservations.
Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction, then sat down and looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen immediately understood. He brought over a cup of tea from the side, walked up to Liu Feng, and offered it to him.
"Master, please have some tea!"
"Good!"
Liu Feng smiled calmly, accepted the tea Yang Chen offered, and took a small sip. Then he looked at Yang Chen with satisfaction.
"You're my second disciple now. Come and meet your senior brother."
"Senior brother?"
Yang Chen looked around, only to realize that everyone present was a Grandmaster. There was no one else.
Just then, Shan Shou slowly stepped forward. A rare smile appeared on his stiff face, though it looked unsettling no matter how you viewed it.
"Junior brother!"
Shan Shou held his greatsword in one hand and waved to Yang Chen with the other.
Yang Chen froze, then felt a sudden stir in his heart.
Shan Shou was Liu Feng's disciple!
Shan Shou was already at the Shackle Realm—a peerless existence beneath Heaven Gate!
And someone like him was Liu Feng's disciple!
Gasp!
Terrifying!
Yang Chen drew in a sharp breath and clicked his tongue.
"Senior brother!"
Yang Chen bowed as well.
Just then, the VIP Hall doors slowly opened. A middle-aged man with a square face walked in, followed by a haughty-looking young man who held his chin high, as if he looked down on everyone.
"My respects to all the Grandmasters!"
The middle-aged man bowed to everyone as soon as he entered, then looked toward Chen Tianxin.
Chen Tianxin paused, apparently not expecting him to come, but then smiled and said to Liu Feng,
"Old Liu, this is Liu Zihan, the mayor of Jiangnan City!"
Liu Feng's expression was not pleasant. His face remained calm as he glanced at Liu Zihan. At once, fine beads of sweat covered Liu Zihan's forehead.
"Who allowed you to come in?"
His voice was not loud, but everyone in the VIP Hall heard him clearly. Even so, the Grandmasters made no move. They simply looked away, as if this had nothing to do with them.
Seeing this, Yang Chen said nothing either. He quietly moved to stand beside Shan Shou. His master seemed to be getting angry!
Liu Zihan felt as though he were standing before a primeval beast. He was no weakling; otherwise, he could never have become the mayor of Jiangnan City. His cultivation had even reached the formidable S-Class, only half a step away from the Grandmaster Realm!
But facing Liu Feng, Liu Zihan felt like a child standing before a towering giant, utterly insignificant.
"Lord Liu, I..."
Liu Zihan's mouth went dry, and he began to stammer.
"Give me an explanation, or Jiangnan City will have a new mayor tomorrow!"
Liu Feng tapped his finger lightly on the armrest, each crisp knock resounding sharply through the hall.
To Liu Zihan, it sounded like the Grim Reaper coming to claim him.
"I came here today because I wanted Lord Liu to meet my son!"
Liu Zihan lowered his head and hurried to explain. He was afraid Liu Feng would kill him before he could finish speaking!
His son was considered a genius throughout the Jiangnan region. Despite being only in his twenties, he had already reached B-Class. Liu Zihan had also learned through certain channels that Liu Feng would be coming to Jiangnan City today.
He wanted Liu Feng to see his son's talent. If Liu Feng took him on as a disciple, the entire family would rise in status.
Liu Zihan might even benefit from a few favors and perhaps make it into the Grandmaster Realm himself.
It was a lovely plan, but he had forgotten one thing: did he even have the standing to meet Liu Feng?
Who was Liu Feng? He was the authority in charge of Number 98!
One of the most influential people in all of Huaxia!
And one of the most powerful people on the entire planet!
Forget a mere mayor of Jiangnan City—even a Grandmaster would show Liu Feng the utmost respect. Liu Zihan had barged in so brazenly, and Liu Feng was already displeased with him.
Seeing his father acting this way, the young man behind Liu Zihan gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said,
"Minister Liu, my father is the mayor of Jiangnan City, after all. There's no need to be so aggressive!"
"Shut up!"
Before Liu Feng could speak, Liu Zihan roared. The cold sweat on his forehead grew even heavier. He was practically ready to beat his son to death.
Damn it, couldn't the brat read the room?
That was the authority in charge of Number 98! His father wasn't even worthy of carrying Liu Feng's shoes!
To be fair, Liu Zihan had a very clear understanding of his own position.
Liu Zihan now knew that there was no way his son would become Liu Feng's disciple!
Liu Feng glanced at the young man and said calmly, "What's your name?"
The young man lifted his chin. "I, young master Liu Ming, am at your service!"
"Who told you to raise your head?"
Liu Feng roared in anger. He pressed down with his palm, and a terrifying force erupted over Liu Ming's head.
Thud!
As everyone watched, Liu Ming suddenly plunged headfirst into the floor. The tremendous force drove his entire body into it.
He was left sticking out of the floor like an upside-down scallion.
"Tsk, tsk!"
Yang Chen looked at Liu Ming with some pity. The kid could've done anything, but he just had to show off. Now he'd taken it too far!
"Please forgive him, Minister Liu! He's young and doesn't know any better. I beg you to spare him!"
Liu Zihan immediately fell to his knees and pleaded with Liu Feng.
To be continued!
