This is the tragedy of a watchdog.
They can strut and swagger before the poor and the weak, baring teeth and brandishing claws. But in front of the rich and powerful, they can only wag their tails for mercy or live with their tails between their legs.
"Is such a matter something a watchdog like you can inquire into?" Chu Feng sneered with contempt and walked proudly into the Medicine Hall.
The interior was vast, arranged in a somber, solemn manner, yet without losing a sense of luxury and high-class atmosphere.
It made the guests involuntarily feel a sense of inferiority and insignificance.
As if no matter how much Silver they brought in, they wouldn't dare to act tough here. This also gave customers a psychological suggestion that no matter how expensive the things here were, they were deservedly so. Worth the price.
"Young Master Niu, please stop pestering me! I'm telling you seriously once more, I don't have any feelings for you!"
"Yu Xin, you're so beautiful and yet unspoken for. This young master stands tall and handsome, born of talent, with family wealth and power, perfectly matched with you as if made by heaven..."
As soon as Chu Feng entered the Medicine Hall, he heard a young man and woman arguing.
The man's voice was like a drake's throat, especially unpleasant.
It seemed to be Young Master Niu who was pestering the girl.
Around them, quite a few onlooking customers gathered, but no one dared to step in and interfere. It was clear that Young Master Niu was indeed someone not to be trifled with.
He must have quite the backing.
Hearing the girl's voice, it was very familiar. Chu Feng subconsciously squeezed through the crowd, wanting to see what was going on.
"It's her!" Chu Feng recognized that it was the school beauty, Lin Yuxin.
At that moment, Lin Yuxin also saw Chu Feng, like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline in desperation. Young Master Niu was extremely annoying, sticky like a chewing gum, pestering her incessantly.
Her beautiful eyes brightened, and a joyful expression appeared on her face.
"Who says I don't have a boyfriend? He is!" Without another word, Lin Yuxin pulled Chu Feng out of the crowd.
She stood next to Chu Feng, very affectionately.
A faint fragrance wafted into Chu Feng's nostrils. It was the unique body scent of a girl, mixed with the fragrance of the incense bag, intoxicating.
Chu Feng was stunned, not expecting Lin Yuxin to suddenly acknowledge him as her boyfriend in public. "This girl, using me as a shield?" Just as Chu Feng thought to clear the air with her, the body he had just taken over actually had deep attachments.
His predecessor had always been secretly in love with Lin Yuxin.
"Well, I'll help her this time!"
Chu Feng had not been in possession of this body for long, and if he ignored the deep-seated attachments left by its former life, it could leave serious complications. He must resolve the former life's attachments to merge more perfectly with this new body.
"Hmph, if you want my help, you must pay a price!"
Chu Feng grabbed Lin Yuxin's small hand.
"Hmm..." Lin Yuxin's body tensed up suddenly, becoming rigid. Her beautiful eyes widened with a thick anger brewing deep within.
This damned poor student, how dare he be so bold. I am a precious flower indeed!
Just a smile from me, and any boy in class would walk through fire and water for me.
How can he so shamelessly take advantage of someone else's misfortune, touching someone else's hand?
If it weren't for the worry that Young Master Niu might spot the flaw and continue to pester her, she would have definitely rewarded Chu Feng with a couple of slaps and kicked him flying.
"Where did this mutt come from? With such a wretched look, you think you are worthy of being Yu Xin's boyfriend?"
Young Master Niu's eyes were cold and angry, staring at Chu Feng fiercely. His tone was contemptuous to the extreme.
Young Master Niu was also a student of the Alchemy Academy, just a senior student. He had long set his sights on Lin Yuxin, relying on his family background, he had been incessantly bothering her.
"Yu Xin, even if you're looking for a shield, at least find someone decent."
"With neither the strength nor the status, this piece of trash definitely can't protect you!"
Young Master Niu didn't take Chu Feng seriously at all, his words filled with mockery and disdain.
"Boy, be smart and scram. Yu Xin is so beautiful and outstanding, she's not meant for you to have."
"Revealing my identity might just scare you to death. My father is a Second Grade sitting alchemist of the Elixir Medicine Guild, and also the teaching director of the Alchemy Academy."
"Your Sword King Mansion is no longer what it used to be, it has long declined. You're no different from a stray dog that's lost its home."
Young Master Niu was arrogant, flaunting his background and threatening Chu Feng.
Originally, Chu Feng hadn't planned to do anything to Young Master Niu.
But now, this guy dared to insult and defecate on him. Chu Feng would certainly not be polite or soft-handed.
Young Master Niu's cultivation was probably that of a Fifth Rank Swordsman, three minor realms stronger than Chu Feng.
If it was the former wastrel predecessor, he naturally wouldn't be Young Master Niu's opponent.
Now, not to boast, but Chu Feng could play this arrogant second-generation rich to death with just one hand.
And when it came to slapping the face or breaking the foundation, he wouldn't do it the same way twice.
"Young Master Niu, is it?" Chu Feng hooked his finger at Young Master Niu and said with a wicked smile, "Want to know why Lin Yuxin would fall for me?"
Who fancies you, you self-absorbed person!
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes at Chu Feng and huffed discontentedly.
Young Master Niu's eyes lit up slightly. He immediately walked over to Chu Feng, somewhat smugly saying, "Kid, are you trying to please me by offering up this secret?"
"Quite on the right track, aren't you!"
"As long as I'm happy, I'll spare you!"
Young Master Niu said with a conceited tone.
"Secrets aren't shared with the six ears, lean in closer!" Chu Feng said with a smile on his face.
Young Master Niu obediently bent down and brought his ear close to Chu Feng.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Chu Feng's eyes as he swiftly struck out, unleashing a couple of loud slaps directly across the smug face that had leaned in.
"Ouch... You, you dare hit me? I'll kill you!" Young Master Niu's cultivation was three ranks higher than Chu Feng's, and if he had been prepared, he certainly wouldn't have been slapped so easily.
Young Master Niu was slapped twice across the face by Chu Feng in front of the beauty and the crowd.
Young Master Niu was nearly driven mad with rage, and immediately lunged at Chu Feng, intent on killing him.
Lin Yuxin's pretty face turned pale with fright.
"Heh, not only will I hit you, but I will also kick you!" As Young Master Niu lunged at him, Chu Feng lifted his foot and delivered a forceful kick.
Though Chu Feng's cultivation seemed low, his kick precisely struck Young Master Niu's vulnerable spot.
"Ow... wuu..." At the same time as Young Master Niu was sent flying back, he clamped his hands over his tender spot, his face turning red with intense pain, almost contorted. He bent over and couldn't even stand straight.
An attack on the body's weakest spot caused such intense pain that he trembled and nearly passed out.
Lin Yuxin couldn't help but look at Chu Feng in amazement.
This underachiever, who obviously had such low cultivation and was usually so cowardly in class, how did he suddenly become so capable of fighting today?
Could it be because of my presence, a beautiful girl, that he's tapped into his potential?
Is he trying so hard to win my favor?
Yes, that must be it.
