Sign-in reward, Moon Profound Realm Puppet

Inside the tavern.

Everyone was discussing animatedly.

Evidently, Lin Feng was a minor celebrity in Fengtian City.

Facing such discussions, the old Lin Feng might have felt embarrassed and ashamed, but now, having followed Zhong Qing, his horizons and state of mind had already changed.

He knew that as long as he displayed powerful strength, these idle rumors would silence themselves.

However, when he heard someone slandering his Master, he still couldn't sit still.

He slammed the table, ready to teach that person a lesson.

But Zhong Qing patted him on the shoulder, indicating that such a character was completely unnecessary, and dealing with such people would only spoil his appetite.

"Remember, your opponent in the future is the sea of stars."

"Not the small fish and shrimp in a small pond," Zhong Qing said with a light chuckle.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Feng obediently sat back down.

The Master and Disciple sat by the window and began to drink together.

After two cups, Zhong Qing couldn't help but look towards the distant horizon.

On the distant horizon, a figure was flying.

His System allowed him to check in daily; even though many times checking in no longer surprised Zhong Qing, it had long become a habit.

And the item obtained from today's check-in was precisely this flying figure.

"A Moon Profound Realm Puppet, that's not bad at all."

Zhong Qing curved his lips into a smile.

With this Puppet, dealing with characters like the Red-haired Old Ghost in the future would probably only require sending out the Puppet.

A moment later, this Black-Clothed Man flew directly towards the small tavern.

The powerful aura he carried instantly suffocated everyone in the room, making them lower their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"How could such a Master appear in our Fengtian City!"

"Yeah, I wonder which powerful being it is, and what he's doing in our Fengtian City."

"Speak softly, don't offend him."

However.

What no one expected was that this mysterious Master, who had flown from the horizon, suddenly knelt on one knee before Zhong Qing.

"Your humble servant greets Master!"

These words.

Immediately caused a huge stir throughout the small tavern.

Oh my god.

What did we just hear?

A Master with such terrifying and formidable cultivation actually knelt on the ground and called someone else Master?

And it was the person sitting with Lin Feng, the one they were just discussing!

What kind of terrifying identity must that White-Robed Youth, sitting with Lin Feng, possess?

How did Lin Feng get involved with such a person?

For a moment, those who had been discussing wished they could burrow their heads under the table, fearing that Zhong Qing might have heard their earlier conversation and would make trouble for them.

However.

Zhong Qing clearly had no interest in them.

"First, retract your cultivation and follow behind me," Zhong Qing scrutinized the Puppet, which looked exactly like a real person, even having an aura, and could completely follow his commands.

It had to be said that Zhong Qing was quite satisfied with this Puppet.

"Yes, Master."

The Black-Clothed Man respectfully nodded, then stood silently behind Zhong Qing.

"Master, this is?"

Lin Feng, standing beside him, was clearly astonished upon seeing the Black-Clothed Man.

"A subordinate I took in before."

Zhong Qing couldn't possibly say that the Black-Clothed Man was obtained through the System's check-in, so he simply made up an excuse.

"A subordinate? Master is truly amazing."

Lin Feng looked surprised; such an unfathomable Master actually called his Master 'Master'.

"Calm down, calm down."

In the Desolate Ring, Elder Sword was relatively calm, leisurely saying, "Given your Master's terrifying power, isn't it normal to have a Moon Profound Realm servant?"

"Moon Profound Realm!!!"

Lin Feng was even more shocked; he never expected this Black-Clothed Man to be in the Moon Profound Realm.

Even now, a Moon Profound Realm cultivation was still an unattainable existence in his eyes.

Just like that.

After the Master, Disciple, and servant had eaten and drunk their fill, they finally left the small tavern.

"Master, I need to return to the Lin Family later. The Family members have always been very kind to me. I've saved up some money, so I want to go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion to buy some gifts for them," Lin Feng said respectfully after leaving the tavern.

"Alright, Master will accompany you. Buy whatever you want; if you don't have enough money, I have some here," Zhong Qing said with a smile.

"Alright, thank you, Master."

Zhong Qing and his group walked towards the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.

As Zhong Qing and his group left, the entire tavern erupted into a huge commotion.

"Did you hear that? Lin Feng actually called that White-Robed Youth 'Master'!

"Yeah, how did Lin Feng get so lucky? How did he get such a powerful Master? Wasn't he a good-for-nothing?"

"No matter what, with this powerful backing, the Lin Family is bound to rise!"

"Unbelievable, unbelievable."

While everyone was discussing, someone quickly spread the news from here.

In a luxurious private room nearby, a Young Master dressed in splendid clothes, who had witnessed the entire process, swallowed hard. He ignored the few women he had finally managed to invite out, leaving them behind, and hurried home with his subordinates.

The guests in the other private rooms did the same.

South of Fengtian City.

The Lin Family.

Families were numerous throughout Fengtian City, and the Lin Family belonged to the second-rate Families in Fengtian City.

At this moment, inside the Lin Family's living room, the Lin Family Patriarch, the Grand Elder, and many high-ranking members were all seated.

Their brows were furrowed with deep solemnity.

"Patriarch, the Fang Family from the east of the city is bullying us with their power and has already encroached upon more than half of our Lin Family's businesses. If we don't think of a solution soon, our Lin Family's assets will be completely devoured!"

The Grand Elder said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Patriarch, it's not just the Fang Family; the Gu Family from the west of the city is also eyeing us covetously. They've targeted the mineral deposits we've been excavating outside the city and have even threatened us, saying we must hand over the mineral deposits ourselves, or they will attack our Lin Family in a few days."

Another Elder also said with a look of resentment.

For a time.

The entire hall was filled with sighs.

The Patriarch, Lin Hanyi, at the head of the table, furrowed his brows even more deeply.

It truly was raining when it poured; ever since the Murong Family incident, all the other Families in Fengtian City had been targeting his Lin Family.

However.

Just as the atmosphere was heavy, a Family Disciple suddenly came to report from outside.

"Report, Patriarch, the Patriarch of the Fang Family from the east of the city requests an audience," the Family Disciple shouted.

"The Fang Family Patriarch? What is he doing here?"

Hearing it was the Fang Family, Lin Hanyi's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "After encroaching upon my Lin Family's businesses, does he still want to cause trouble at our doorstep?"

"No, Patriarch, the Fang Family Patriarch seems to be here to apologize," the Family Disciple quickly said.

"Apologize?"

The Lin Family members were instantly dumbfounded.

However, while the Lin Family members were still bewildered, another Family Disciple rushed in to report: "Reporting to Patriarch, the Gu Family from the west of the city has arrived at the entrance with ten carriages of gold, silver, and jewels, saying they are here to resolve misunderstandings."

Upon hearing this, the Lin Family members were even more confused.

But the reporting Disciple did not stop, and several more Disciples came to report.

"Report, the Zhao Family requests an audience, saying they are here to deliver gifts."

"Report, the Guo Family has sent an invitation, inviting everyone from the Lin Family to dine together at Fengtian First Tower."

"Report, the Feng Family requests an audience, saying they are here to propose marriage..."

For a time, the entire Lin Family hall was bustling with continuous reports.

But the Lin Family's high-ranking members were completely dumbfounded.
