122: Don't follow the routine

Seeing the look of determination on Liao Feng's face before him, Lin Ye could not help but think to himself.

"It is just right! This kid's expression is practically carved from the same mold as Chu Hao's."

"I suppose all Sons of Destiny are like this. Why do I not have that feeling, though?"

"Brother Lin?!"

Seeing that Lin Ye remained silent, Liao Feng raised his voice a notch.

"Hmm..."

Lin Ye snapped back to reality, looked at Liao Feng before him, and said softly, "Have you heard a saying?"

Liao Feng was taken aback, then replied, "I would like to hear it."

"A forced melon might not be sweet, but it quenches thirst."

Liao Feng: "..."

Wu Mingyue: "..."

Lord of Blissful Demons: "..."

"Hahahaha!"

Xiang Tiange burst into loud laughter. Because he was laughing so hard, he doubled over, clutching his stomach, and said between laughs, "As expected of Lin Ye! Well said, that makes so much sense! A forced melon might not be sweet, but it quenches thirst! Yes, yes, that can be called a golden rule!"

The Lord of Blissful Demons first glared at Xiang Tiange, then looked at Lin Ye. He had never expected the other party to say something like that at this moment; would this not make things awkward for Wu Mingyue?

Wu Mingyue's phoenix eyes examined Lin Ye with interest.

One must know that Lin Ye's reputation was widespread now, and everything spread about him was notoriety.

His reputation alone was even more resounding than that of many Devil Heads.

Yet such a person, upon first meeting, did not appear to have the ruthlessness of a demonic cultivator; his eyes always maintained a sense of indifference, neither swayed by external objects nor moved by personal gains or losses?

And now, because of Liao Feng's appearance, he had actually shifted his temperament again.

What kind of person was he, really?

Liao Feng was also shocked by Lin Ye's words. Everyone here was a Prodigy; could he not be a little more careful when speaking?

He had thought that this Lin Ye would still be like in his past life, pretending to be gentle, elegant, and a man of virtue in front of others; that was also Lin Ming's greatest disguise in his past life.

But now, it seemed he was not pretending at all! What kind of wild, tiger-wolf words were these?

What did it mean, "a forced melon might not be sweet, but it quenches thirst"?

"Brother Lin, you..."

"Alright, I know what you mean."

Just as Liao Feng wanted to say something more, Lin Ye impatiently interrupted him: "Speak properly. There is no need for all that fluff. You want to stop this marriage engagement, right?"

"..."

Liao Feng did not understand what Lin Ye meant by that, but he nodded subconsciously.

Lin Ye continued, "You want to prove that your strength is sufficient for the Great Princess to abandon this marriage alliance, right?"

Liao Feng continued to nod.

Seeing how obedient the other party was, Lin Ye was very satisfied and continued, "Then that settles it. Next time, just get straight to the point. Is it not just that you want to have a fight? What was the point of all that build-up beforehand?"

"You should have just come up to me and told me you wanted to beat me up; would that not have been the end of it?"

"..."

Liao Feng looked at Lin Ye in disbelief. Was he really being this blunt?

Although that was the meaning, one absolutely could not say it out loud like that. If he said it like that, would it not just turn into pure provocation?

Not to mention whether Lin Ye would agree to fight him, just consider that they were currently on the territory of the Supreme Bliss Holy Land.

If he was too presumptuous, they could just slap him to death; would all his words not be in vain? Even if he had life-saving measures, they could not be used unless it was an absolute last resort; every time he used one, it was one less!

"Exactly!"

Xiang Tiange also walked forward at this moment and said to Lin Ye, "Lord Saint, how could a trivial matter like this require you to make a move? Leave it to your little brother!"

Lin Ye turned his gaze to Xiang Tiange, who winked at him.

It was clearly an attempt to get Lin Ye to yield this opponent to him.

Xiang Tiange's appearance made Liao Feng's expression turn serious.

In his past life, he had also heard of Xiang Tiange's name; he was the Saint of Supreme Bliss Holy Land. He did not know why in this life, Lin Ming had changed his name and even become the Saint of Supreme Bliss Holy Land.

"Wait a moment!"

Liao Kai certainly could not let his son disrupt this marriage engagement and quickly stepped out: "Liao Feng, get back here!"

Not to mention Liao Kai, even Wu Mingyue did not think highly of Liao Feng.

After all, Liao Feng's usual performance was a matter of opinion.

The battle between Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange had now spread throughout the entire Southern Region.

Who did not know that the former Supreme Bliss Holy Land, now the Righteous Qi Sect, had produced two peerless Prodigies?

The battle between the two had even been recorded by numerous Image Stones.

It simply did not look like a battle that the younger generation could achieve.

Judging by Liao Feng's usual performance, whether he fought Lin Ye or Xiang Tiange, he absolutely had no chance of winning.

"Father!"

Liao Feng turned his head to look at Liao Kai, his face full of confidence: "Father, do not interfere in this matter. I will not let the Great Princess fall into this marriage alliance!"

"..."

Liao Kai was somewhat speechless at his son; he could see his son's admiration for the Great Princess.

But even though he was his own son, he did not think Liao Feng was worthy of the Great Princess.

Not to mention their ages, their cultivation levels were not even on the same tier. If Liao Feng had astonishing talent, that would be one thing, but his usual performance was just mediocre.

Where did he get the confidence to be this brave?

However, Liao Kai could feel the powerful confidence radiating from Liao Feng.

Thinking of this, he could only sigh helplessly, then bowed to the Lord of Blissful Demons: "Brother Dao, you have seen my son's behavior. I hope you will not blame our Imperial Dynasty because of this matter."

The two were old acquaintances, so they should not need to be so formal.

But Liao Feng's behavior made Liao Kai feel guilty, which was why he was so respectful when speaking to the Lord of Blissful Demons.

Seeing his old friend act this way, the Lord of Blissful Demons could not possibly make a fuss, so he waved his hand: "Let the young people solve their own problems. Rest assured, this matter will not affect the friendship between us two."

"That is good."

Liao Kai breathed a sigh of relief. He had been truly worried that the Lord of Blissful Demons would use this as an excuse to make things difficult for his Imperial Dynasty. If that happened, his Liao family would be the sinners.

Hearing the conversation between his father and the Lord of Blissful Demons, Liao Feng knew he could act without restraint.

He immediately walked up to Xiang Tiange: "This is a matter between Brother Lin and me. I hope you will not intervene, Brother Xiang."

"Do you know who Lin Ye is?"

Xiang Tiange looked at Liao Feng with an exaggerated expression: "He is my beloved friend and brother! You say you want to make a move on my good brother right in front of me; how can I remain indifferent? If I did, would I even count as a person?"

"Moreover, he is the Saint of our Righteous Qi Sect. Naturally, I, as a common Disciple, must act as his vanguard. Only if you can defeat me will you be able to duel with our Saint."

"..."

Liao Feng really wanted to say, "Are you treating me like an idiot?"
