Chapter 1457: Coming for Blood!
Jiang Feng was sipping tea in Baili Xi’s study when the meal prepared by the servants was ready.
It was a rare occasion for Jiang Feng to find time to drink with Baili Xi again.
"Kid, you sneaked a sip of my Immortal Drunk last time. Want to try again?" Baili Xi smiled while taking out a vermilion wine gourd and said to Jiang Feng.
"You still have some?"
Jiang Feng widened his eyes. He remembered this item had put him in a terrible state last time, making him drunk enough to lose consciousness, and even in a blur committed some error.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t recall exactly what mistake it was, as he had no impression at the time.
"Nonsense, did you really think I only had one gourd?"
Baili Xi glared at him, "If I only had one gourd and you drank it, I’d suffer a loss!"
Saying this, he proactively took the gourd and poured into Jiang Feng’s wine glass.
"Wait!"
Jiang Feng immediately covered the glass, speechless, "Are you trying to make me drunk here for a day again?"
Nearby, Bai Touying chuckled at this, "Young Master Feng, the old master is teasing you! Originally, there was indeed only one gourd of Immortal Drunk. But after you drank it, the old master contacted the winery and learned they brewed a few more gourds. Knowing your fondness for the drink, he bought them all."
"Of course, the new Immortal Brew is nowhere near as strong as the first gourd you drank. First, the richness is lacking, and secondly, it hasn’t been aged long enough, so it’s essentially diluted. You won’t get drunk on it; it only retains the taste of the Immortal Drunk."
"I see." Jiang Feng realized.
However, this also showed from the side that Baili Xi was genuinely good to him, to the point of having the drink he liked prepared in advance, truly not treating him as an outsider.
"You brat, even if he didn’t explain, do you think I’d harm you?" Baili Xi puffed his beard and glared at Jiang Feng, "Making an old man pour wine for you, no manners!"
Unable to hold back a laugh, Jiang Feng had no choice but to take the wine gourd from Baili Xi, first pouring it for him then for himself, "Is this okay?"
"That’s better." Baili Xi then smiled.
Thus, at the dinner table that followed, most of the time was spent in jovial conversation between the old man and the young.
The main speaker was Baili Xi, and the topic mostly revolved around Jiang Feng being better to Baili Xiyue, his cherished granddaughter, and the like.
Jiang Feng was almost speechless from listening. He never expected Baili Xi to be such a nagger; it seems as people age, they easily become verbose, even someone like Baili Xi was no exception.
After the meal and drink, afternoon had already passed.
With the scorching sun setting in the west, the hottest part of the day was over, Jiang Feng planned to return to Binhai.
Baili Xi knew he couldn’t keep him and had no choice but to accompany Bai Touying to see Jiang Feng off at the door.
The phrases needed to be said had mostly been uttered by the two; now wasn’t the time for more rambling, just telling Jiang Feng to visit often, treating the place as his home without any formalities with the two elders.
Jiang Feng was already planning not to be formal; he’s that kind of person, whoever treats him well, he reciprocates, but whoever plots against him, he’ll ensure they regret coming into this world!
Baili Xi was about to instruct the bodyguards to drive Jiang Feng down the mountain when suddenly, he saw the bodyguards stationed at the foot of the hill rushing up in a panic.
"Old Master, Uncle Bai, Young Master Feng, something’s wrong!!"
A bodyguard ran breathlessly, face full of panic.
"What now?" Baili Xi frowned and asked.
"Lin Family of the Capital City... Lin Family’s cars are here again!" The bodyguard nervously reported.
"What did you say?!"
Bai Touying immediately stepped forward, his eyebrows furrowed coldly.
The Lin Family?!
That family was annihilated by Jiang Feng last time; how could they possibly show up again?
"It’s absolutely true!" The bodyguards said, "We know their license plates inside out, absolutely the Lin Family of the Capital City, no mistake!"
Remember, the Lin Family had caused trouble at Baili Family’s Mountain Manor repeatedly before, and the Baili family’s bodyguards were more than familiar with their car plates, no way they’d recognize them wrongly.
Not only Bai Touying was feeling doubtful, but Jiang Feng and Baili Xi exchanged a glance, finding it puzzling as well.
Jiang Feng furrowed his brow.
He recalled telling Lin Lianhai clearly last time to shrink back to the Lin Family and never come out again, how dare he make a comeback?!
"Where are they?" Baili Xi asked.
"Just down the mountain... they’re coming up!"
The bodyguards gestured just as they saw Lin Family’s two cars racing up the mountain, appearing within sight!
Jiang Feng took a glance and indeed found Lin Lianhai in the front car, albeit with two others beside him, unfamiliar faces yet with arrogant and domineering atitudes.
"Indeed, it’s that useless fool from the Lin Family." Baili Xi also recognized Lin Lianhai, promptly glancing at Jiang Feng, "Kid, was the lesson last time not enough for him?"
"I also want to know." Jiang Feng squinted, giving a cold smile, "Exactly who gave him the courage!"
With that said, the two cars speeding up the mountain soon arrived close.
The two vehicles parked in succession, and then a crew descended with an imposing air.
Leading the pack, of course, was Lin Lianhai himself!
Wang Shan and Xue Li, two tributor figures full of contempt, stood beside him with a smug look.
As for those in the back, it’s the remaining house servants of the Lin Family—they were here not to act; in fact, with Wang Shan and Xue Li present, it wouldn’t be their turn anyway. They were here to bolster the Lin family’s influence, aptly conveying the notion "a faltered tiger still stands grand!"
"Jiang... Jiang Feng?!"
Upon alighting, Lin Lianhai’s smug expression barely lingered when he abruptly froze in his tracks, looking incredulously at Jiang Feng!
He hadn’t anticipated encountering Jiang Feng head-on here.
Originally, he had planned to first ascend to the Baili Family with Wang Shan and Xue Li, wielding dominance, then forcibly seize everything from the Baili Family; yet, who would’ve thought Jiang Feng would coincidentally be here today?!
Isn’t this the legendary "uninvited guests meet in narrow paths"?!
In a flash, the terrifying memories from last time surged in Lin Lianhai’s mind, involuntarily causing him to take a few steps back, like he was staring at a devil!
"Your memory isn’t that good, it seems." Jiang Feng faintly smiled, his expression chillingly calm, "Did you forget what I told you last time so soon?"
Lin Lianhai faltered, but immediately recalling Wang Shan and Xue Li, two masters by his side, he regained his righteous composure and sneered, "Shut up! Jiang, I feared you last time, but not today! You being at the Baili Family just saves us the trouble of seeking you separately. With these two elders here today, let’s see how arrogant you can be, prepare to surrender!!"
