Chapter Forty-Four: Unexpected

  Thanks for Li Qīng's reward, thank you!

  Before Lin Feng could speak, Mark had already pushed the door open and walked in. Behind him was a servant with his head down, holding a tray full of various fruits.

  "Mr. Lin Feng, I'm really sorry." Mark's face showed a hint of apology: "The Duke didn't know you could come over today, and he left early in the morning. However, I've already sent someone to inform him of your arrival, and I believe he'll return quickly once he knows. I've asked the servant to prepare some fruit for you, Mr. Lin Feng, please help yourself."

  After finishing speaking, Mark gave a wink to his servant behind him, and the servant arranged the fruits on the tray onto the table.

  "Thank you, it's really troubling Captain Mark." Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly added a polite phrase.

  Mark smiled and said: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Lin Feng anymore, I will arrange the guards to stand outside the house, if Mr. Lin Feng has anything, just notify the guards at the door."

  Lin Feng smiled and nodded in agreement.

  Ma Ke and his servant left, Lin Feng finally put down his heart, he let out a cold hum, muttering to himself: "Is this considered house arrest?"

  After saying that, he didn't know what he thought of, and after sighing, he came to the table, stretched out his hand to pick up a string of fruit called grapes in his previous life, brought it to his nose and smelled it hard, only then did he say with emotion: "Three gold coins for a string of Western Territory fruit... this is what aristocratic life is like..."

  ……

  Paul's college, in Annie's room.

  At this time, Annie's ugly face muscles began to tremble, apparently already angry to the extreme.

  "Damn it!"

  "Annie let out a loud cry, her ugly face full of anger: 'Let me go ask my father? Or is it for that Lin Feng? Are you two intentionally fooling me?'"

  "Miss Annie, after you left the restaurant, Marquis's guard captain Mark somehow deceived Lin Feng and took him out of our college. This time Lin Feng was summoned by the Marquis, it must be because of Reggie's matter. Do you still remember that Lin Feng killed a level 4 warrior? That level 4 warrior was sent by Reggie!"

  Alfa's face was anxious: "Lin Feng not only taught Regi a lesson, but also killed one of his fourth-level warriors. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face for Marquis. If Lin Feng were still in our academy, Marquis wouldn't dare to move him. But this time, Lin Feng has been taken out of the academy by Mark, and it's likely to be a disaster! Now, only the principal can save Lin Feng, Annie, you..."

  "What's it to me?" Annie suddenly shouted, interrupting Alpha: "Whether he lives or dies is none of my business!"

  "Miss Annie, before each student graduates from the academy, ensuring their safety is our responsibility as students of Paul Academy!" Alfa took a deep breath and continued: "I know this doesn't concern you, Miss Annie, but the principal can't be watching over every student all the time. He has his own matters to attend to. As three students of Paul Academy, can't we share some of the burden for the principal? Moreover, you are the principal's daughter..."

  "Get out!" Annie yelled, pointing at the two of them with a cold smile: "Otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite!"

  Her chest heaved up and down, her whole body's muscles were trembling slightly, apparently, the anger in her heart had reached its peak!!

  Annie felt even more wronged in her heart, not to mention the humiliation of being swept away by Lin Feng. Just a short while ago, she had been venting her anger at Lin Feng, and now these two despicable people were asking her to save that guy who had humiliated her?

  Is it possible?

  If it weren't for the fact that the Earl of Sackville was on good terms with her own father, Anne would have taken action to teach those two scoundrels a lesson long ago!

  Bill looked at Annie's angry face and took a deep breath, only then did he not say a word, not because he didn't want to help Lin Feng, but because his father was the Marquis, and he couldn't help Lin Feng in any way. Moreover, he couldn't even speak well of Lin Feng, if he were to mention Lin Feng's words at this time, it would inevitably go against the Marquis' stance. So, although he also cared about Lin Feng's safety in his heart, he couldn't say a good word for Lin Feng!

  Although he was still young, he understood the concept of taking a stand, and besides, he wanted to get the marquis's attention.

  "Alpha, let's go back and think of another way!" Bill whispered to Alpha, softly sighing: "I told you Miss Annie wouldn't help us."

  Alpha bowed his head in thought for a moment, and a strange smile floated onto his face. He patted Bill on the shoulder and said loudly with an angry expression: "Alright, Bill, let's go."

  After saying this, he didn't even glance at Annie and turned around to walk out of Annie's room. He loudly said to Bill beside him, "Hmph, I knew that some people are extremely jealous and can't stand others being better than her. Let's go find the principal ourselves!"

  Although Alfa said he was leaving, he pulled Bill back and stayed put, waiting for Annie's reaction.

  Although he didn't know much about Annie, he also knew that a genius like her must be a proud person. So, he deliberately shouted out what he had just said, and his purpose was to say it for Annie's ears.

  But after saying that sentence for a long time, there was no movement in Annie's room, and Alpha couldn't help but sigh, her heart gradually cooling down.

  Could it be that I guessed wrong?

  "Never mind, Alpha. Let's just go find the Dean ourselves. He may not see us, but we have to try." Bill also saw what Alpha was getting at, but when he saw no reaction from Annie's room, his heart sank a little too.

  "Alright, let's give it a try." Alpha sighed and said slowly, then the two of them left Annie's dormitory area and ran towards the training grounds.

  Just as the two of them had left, Anne slowly emerged from the room.

  She stared in the direction of their departure, speechless and dazed, with a complex expression floating in her eyes. She took a light breath and muttered: "Could it be... that I'm actually jealous of him..."

  This sentence is like a sigh of emotion, and also like a question.

  ……

  In the VIP box on the training grounds, Robert silently watched a new student introducing himself on stage with an expressionless face, but after scanning around the area below, he couldn't help but furrow his brow and say to Old Barte beside him: "Barte, these new students are almost done introducing themselves...and Lin Feng still hasn't appeared. You should go take a look yourself and see what's going on."

  "Please wait for a moment, Dean. I'll go to Lin Feng's dormitory and take a look." After saying this, Old Ba Te walked out of the box, muttering to himself: "Damn it, this kid didn't oversleep again, did he?"
