Qin Feng also cupped his hands towards everyone with a smile and said, "Everyone, I apologize for disturbing your meal."
"Hahaha, it's fine. Are you back just now too?"
"Yes, we just arrived as well."
...
Seeing Qin Feng, everyone greeted him with smiles.
"Let's head over first, Brother Qin, Brother Zhou Yan."
At this moment, Zhou Yan, standing beside Qin Feng, said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded with a smile.
"Brother Qin, let's go."
Zhou Yan put his arm around Qin Feng's shoulder and led him forward.
"Brother Zhou Yan."
Just then, a young man suddenly blocked Qin Feng and Zhou Yan's path.
"Young Master Lin, what do you want?"
Seeing this, Zhou Yan's expression turned cold, and he rebuked sharply.
"Nothing, it's just that I feel Brother Qin Feng's talent seems even more powerful than before."
Lin Yu smiled faintly and said, "I believe if Brother Qin can join my Lin family, he will surely be a distinguished guest!"
Qin Feng frowned.
He was, of course, aware of the Lin family. They were the top noble family in the entire North City, and even the East Continent, with a peak Innate realm expert guarding them.
"Brother Lin Yu, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I have no intention of joining the Lin family."
Qin Feng said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's face instantly turned cold, and a hidden murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Heh heh, Brother Qin, I, Lin Yu, respect you as a man of character, which is why I wish to recruit you. However, if you refuse me, then do not blame me for being impolite!"
...
Zhou Yan sat in the main seat of the restaurant, his expression fluctuating.
Across from him sat a young man.
The young man was slender, dressed in white, with a stern expression.
"Heh heh, Zhou Yan, I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, you will be the one to suffer!"
Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Lin Yu, although my Zhou family has declined, your Lin family has not reached the point where you can bully my Zhou family!"
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Oh? It seems you truly wish to fight me?"
Lin Yu asked indifferently.
"Lin Yu, others may fear you, but I, Zhou Yan, have never feared anyone!"
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and roared.
"Since that's the case, then let us fight!"
With that, Lin Yu launched the first attack towards Zhou Yan.
Seeing Lin Yu's move, Zhou Yan was filled with rage.
He, Zhou Yan, was the ninety-eighth ranked expert on the Heavenly Gang Ranking, while his opponent was only eleventh. The gap was simply too vast.
He naturally understood that he was no match for Lin Yu, but he absolutely would not allow anyone to humiliate his own sister!
Therefore, he immediately met the attack and engaged Lin Yu in combat.
"Bang~"
Fists and palms collided, and both figures were sent flying back dozens of meters before stabilizing themselves.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that Qin Feng didn't intervene, Zhou Yan secretly rejoiced. He then stomped his foot, turning into a streak of light and charging towards Lin Yu.
"Brother Zhou Yan, you're forcing my hand!"
Lin Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he said coldly, "Die!"
As soon as he spoke, Lin Yu let out a roar and formed a hand seal. Instantly, a massive ball of purple lightning surged from within him and then slammed fiercely towards Zhou Yan.
"Thunder Palm Technique!"
Lin Yu said coldly, unleashing a palm strike with fierce wind.
"Boom!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yan's expression became extremely grave. He then drew his sword and deflected the palm wind, before unleashing another palm strike.
"Thunder Palm Technique!"
Zhou Yan shouted coldly, and as he struck out, streaks of purple thunder dragons flew from his palms, surging towards Lin Yu like a raging tide.
"Hmph! Petty tricks!"
Lin Yu snorted coldly. He flicked his right hand, and a bead of lightning shot from between his fingers, rapidly exploding into a sky full of lightning.
The thunderous clashes between the lightning and the purple lightning produced deafening roars.
The surrounding cultivators, seeing this, changed their expressions and retreated.
"So strong!"
"What kind of technique is this? It's so powerful!"
"Who is this person? Could it be the rumored Lin Yu from the Lin family?"
"Good heavens, he's the young master of the Lin family?"
"No way, the Lin family is the second most powerful family in North City, with immense influence in the East Continent!"
...
"Heh heh, Zhou Yan, you are indeed quite capable."
Lin Yu retracted his hand, cast a nonchalant glance at Zhou Yan, and said slowly, "However, you are still far from being able to defeat me, Lin Yu!"
"Lin Yu, don't be so arrogant!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yan's face was unsightly, and he cursed.
"Haha, Zhou Yan, look at your current state, and you dare to be so audacious?"
Lin Yu laughed heartily, mocking him.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails were almost digging into his flesh, clearly reaching the peak of his anger.
However, at this moment, Qin Feng suddenly stood up and walked forward, positioning himself between Zhou Yan and Lin Yu.
"Who are you?"
Seeing this, Lin Yu's gaze turned cold as he fixed his eyes on Qin Feng.
A slight arc formed on Qin Feng's lips as he said, "I am Zhou Yan's friend. If you have any issues, feel free to address them to me."
"Friend? Heh heh, do you think you, by yourself, can stop me?"
Lin Yu looked at Qin Feng mockingly.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's mocking tone, Qin Feng did not get angry. He simply let out a cold laugh and said, "My friends are not limited to just Zhou Yan!"
"You... are you saying you also want to challenge me?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu's eyebrows lifted, and a playful expression appeared on his face.
In his view, Qin Feng was merely a martial artist at the fourth level of the Spiritual Meridian Realm, utterly incapable of rivaling him.
"That's right, but this time, I won't let you off. I hope you are prepared to bear my wrath!"
Qin Feng said calmly, a hint of amusement glinting in his eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Yu's lips curved into a cold sneer. "Then I'll wait and see just how capable you are!"
Qin Feng, hearing this, did not reply. Instead, he turned to look at Zhou Yan and said with a smile, "Zhou Yan, let's go!"
"Okay."
Zhou Yan took a deep breath, then turned and left.
Seeing that Qin Feng intended to remain uninvolved, the surrounding cultivators were dumbfounded. How could a mere trash at the fifth level of the Spiritual Meridian Realm dare to confront Lin Yu? Did he truly believe he was that powerful?
Lin Yu's gaze swept between Qin Feng and Zhou Yan, then he also followed.
He had already gauged Zhou Yan's strength; under Lin Yu's hands, he couldn't even last ten moves.
Lin Yu's cultivation was a whole major realm higher than his own!
