Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 28: Oh, What a Coincidence!

Chapter 28: Oh, What a Coincidence!

"Hahaha!"

"Incredible! The president's lingering ailment has finally been cured!"

"This is undoubtedly the most uplifting news for my White Mountain Chamber of Commerce in recent years. It's even more satisfying than amassing a fortune!"

Lai Peng gazed at the transmission jade token and expressed his excitement once more.

The guard who had previously obstructed the duo also drew near Lai Peng with immense enthusiasm, eagerly eyeing the message delivered by the vice-president.

Just then.

"No."

"It can't be!"

"The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce president's ailment isn't that simple to cure!"

Suddenly, Lin Feng asserted with a resolute expression.

Lin Feng was acutely aware of the precise cause of the 'ailment' afflicting the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce.

In Autumn Glory City, perhaps only he, Lin Feng, his master Qiu Liaoxi, and Ning Xian possessed the ability to diagnose the specific condition of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce president.

This ailment was meticulously documented in the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records.

And if they sought to cure the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, Lin Feng was convinced that only he could accomplish it!

This was due to the fact that the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss was exceedingly rare.

Only he could directly consume the Swallowing Body Snatching Soul Grass through his Burning World Red Lotus, thereby providing a fundamental cure for the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce.

Hence.

He simply couldn't accept the notion that the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce had already been cured!

"Lin Feng, what are you talking about?"

"The president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce's lingering ailment has already been cured. What do you mean it's not that easy to cure?"

Lai Peng said discontentedly to Lin Feng.

The news had come from the vice-president, so it couldn't have been false!

"That's right!"

"You, young man, don't you want to see my president recover!?"

The guard's face turned menacing, and he regarded Lin Feng with animosity.

Had it not been for Lai Peng's intervention in bringing Lin Feng here, he would have already commenced expelling him by now.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"I fear that the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce has been deceived by someone!"

Lin Feng's heart raced, and he hastily clarified.

"Brother Lin Feng."

"Is it even possible for someone to fabricate the fact that the lingering ailment has been cured?"

"Now that the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce has already recovered, there's no need for you to attempt anything. Let's go."

Lai Peng wordlessly patted Lin Feng's shoulder and then grasped his arm, ready to escort him away from the scene.

"No."

"Brother Lai, please trust me this time."

"Only I, Lin Feng, can cure the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce in Autumn Glory City!"

Lin Feng felt reluctant and didn't want to witness this grand opportunity slipping through his fingers.

"What do you mean only you can cure him?"

"Look at you, you haven't even grown a full beard. How dare you make such a presumptuous claim!?"

The guard immediately countered with a scornful expression.

"Little brother Lin Feng."

"It's true that we share some connection, but if you persist in causing trouble like this, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lai Peng also lost his patience and spoke unhappily.

"I..."

Lin Feng opened his mouth but struggled to find the right words.

Persisting would only further aggravate Lai Peng and the guard, decreasing his chances of meeting the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce even more.

But if he left now.

He would feel extremely reluctant in his heart and harbor intense resentment towards the person he had never met before, who had treated the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce.

"Let's go!"

Lai Peng tugged at Lin Feng's arm forcefully, and the two of them strode toward the stairs.

"Charlatan!"

"The person who treated the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce must be a charlatan!"

"I have to find an opportunity to see the president, expose the true nature of this imposter, and then genuinely cure his ailment!"

"..."

As Lin Feng descended the stairs, he clenched his teeth and spoke.

Lai Peng was perplexed. What in the world had gotten into Lin Feng?

Suddenly.

There was activity in the third-floor corridor, as if several people had approached the staircase in unison.

Immediately afterwards!

"Who are you calling a charlatan!?"

A distinctly displeased, hoarse male voice echoed, accompanied by a touch of authority.

"Who!?"

Lin Feng's body stiffened, and he could discern from the voice that the newcomer was no ordinary person!

He instantly pivoted to look!

And then.

He was rooted to the spot!

He beheld a burly man with a peculiar visage, frowning and fixing him with an icy stare.

Standing beside the burly man were three familiar faces.

None other than Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi, wearing perplexed and speechless expressions, as well as Jiang Chen, who had widened his eyes and covered his mouth with one hand in astonishment!

Suddenly.

Lin Feng's eyes widened in disbelief, his face twitching uncontrollably, as if he was on the verge of a breakdown!

"I said!"

"Who are you calling a charlatan!!"

Du Bailei stepped forward, his voice growing more severe!

"No, it's not..."

Lin Feng was extremely mortified and at a loss for words.

He was also utterly astounded to discover that the 'charlatan' he referred to was, in fact, Ning Xian, his mentor, and Jiang Chen.

Just then.

"President Du!"

Qiu Liaoxi awkwardly spoke up, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Right, right, right!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Jiang Chen immediately stepped forward and interjected, "This Lin Feng is a disciple of Qiu Liaoxi, a renowned alchemist. Oh, what a coincidence!"

"What!?"

"This Lin Feng is Alchemist Qiu's disciple!?"

Du Bailei's expression turned exceedingly peculiar, and he felt a sense of absurdity welling up in his heart.

Meanwhile.

Lai Peng and the guard were equally flabbergasted, never anticipating such a turn of events!

"Master, Ning Xian!"

"How...how did you all end up here?"

Lin Feng inquired with a mix of embarrassment and bewilderment.

Qiu Liaoxi smiled, shook her head, and proceeded to elucidate the circumstances.

And so.

Lin Feng grasped that it was Jiang Chen who had brought Qiu Liaoxi and Ning Xian here!

'Jiang Chen!'

'It's this guy again!'

'He must be attempting to use my master's assistance to cure the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President and reap some rewards!'

'Darn it, if it weren't for him, I would be the one treating the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President, and I wouldn't have found myself in such an embarrassing predicament!'

'Darn it, is Jiang Chen destined to be my nemesis? Every time he's present, I'm always plagued with misfortune!'

'...'

Lin Feng's heart harbored a surge of bitter resentment!

At this moment.

"Lin Feng!"

"What are you doing here? Also, just now..."

Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly and regarded Lin Feng curiously.

Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi also gazed at him peculiarly, awaiting his response.

'This guy, he always stirs up trouble wherever he goes!'

Lin Feng felt a swell of anger in his heart, but he took a deep breath and spoke with a hint of embarrassment:

"Well, I too heard about the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President's illness and had a plan to help him recover. Who would have thought that we would encounter each other like this?"

Upon hearing this statement,

Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi suddenly appeared enlightened.

They knew that Lin Feng must have learned about the Swallowing Body Snatching Soul Grass and, upon recognizing an illness he could treat, wanted to showcase his skills. Who would have thought that he would be outpaced by someone from their own side?

"I see!"

"It was all just a misunderstanding!"

Du Bailei shook his head wryly and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, young friend Lin Feng. Your master has already cured my illness."

"President Du...was really cured!?"

Lin Feng glanced at Qiu Liaoxi, Ning Xian, and Jiang Chen with a gleam in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked.

Having diagnosed Du Bailei's illness, he believed that Qiu Liaoxi could do it, and Ning Xian could do it as well.

However, he found it hard to believe that they could cure Du Bailei!

Finding the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss was nearly impossible.

He believed that only he, Lin Feng, could cure Du Bailei.

And yet...
