Why was Lin Jing so easily provoked?
It was because Zhou Feng had entered the inner courtyard the wrong way—or rather, far too easily.
Those who could enter the inner courtyard, aside from the people Ouyang Qian had brought from her family, were all elites who had survived countless bloody battles.
Every year, the Insect Garden held trials to feed the Blood Vine Gu Wolf pack.
Although very few people passed the trials, over the years, quite a number had put down roots in the inner courtyard.
Ouyang Qian had originally been parachuted into the Insect Garden and had directly brought a group of trusted followers with her.
This had greatly impacted some of the old-timers in the inner courtyard.
And now, a local like Zhou Feng had entered the inner courtyard merely because the Eldest Miss favored him.
Unfair! This was completely unfair!
Simply put, these local factions in the inner courtyard did not dare cause trouble for Ouyang Qian, so they turned to bully Zhou Feng, this soft target.
It was a counterattack against the parachuted faction in the inner courtyard.
"Are you really mute? Trash!"
Lin Jing continued to provoke him, trying to lure Zhou Feng into making a move.
Though he had come to squeeze a soft persimmon, there was still a proper way to go about it.
If Zhou Feng struck first, Lin Jing would at least have an excuse. When the time came, he could smooth things over somewhat with the Eldest Miss.
As long as he doesn't die, it's fine. How else will people view me differently if I don't show my strength?
Zhou Feng looked calmly at Lin Jing, already having made up his mind.
The next second, the Sky Swallowing Gu within him began to draw in and expel blood qi.
