Chapter 48: Do you have that ability?

  After hearing this, Lin Feng finally understood the Marquis's meaning. It seemed... that this second matter wasn't anything after all! He didn't need to do anything for the Marquis and could get eternal support, while the Marquis only wanted to obtain his permanent friendship. Did this even count as a matter?

  However, Lin Feng didn't just see the surface of things. He was now considering a deeper level... Suppose he really agreed to the Marquis's request and received his selfless support on his future cultivation path, and even obtained the divine artifact given by the Marquis after reaching the Sacred Realm. Then, in the future, if the Marquis encountered any difficulties, would Lin Feng be able to just stand by and not lend a hand?

  Although Lin Feng still doesn't understand the significance of the divine artifact now, it's not hard to see its rarity just by understanding it literally.

  Is it worth cultivating just for a single strong Sacred Realm cultivator?

  This is Lin Feng's greatest doubt in his heart.

  In fact, Lin Feng currently has no idea what the Holy Land represents. If he knew this point, he wouldn't be as puzzled as he is now.

  The Marquis's goal was to get along with Lin Feng, although he also couldn't guess whether Lin Feng would definitely reach the Holy Land in the future, but this was an opportunity after all!

  As for all the expenses on the road to cultivation? That's nothing to a marquis!! But if you want to get the divine artifact, you must have the power of the sacred domain! At that time, taking one's own divine artifact, even if one doesn't ask Lin Feng to do anything, such a great favor is placed here, what is Kasen afraid of?!

  Even if Lin Feng doesn't care about himself, he wouldn't have the nerve to turn around and deal with himself because of this kind of personal relationship.

  After all, the strong in the Sacred Realm all have their own pride!

  The purpose of the marquis is precisely this!

  Lin Feng had some idea of Marquis's purpose, although he didn't know it very specifically, but he also guessed a few points!

  Want to get your own friendship? Joke!!!

  If I had no connection with the Marquis, I might have agreed!

  But the marquis in front of him was his own father, the father who had abandoned himself and his mother!!

  The expenses on the path of cultivation were never a concern for Lin Feng, relying on his identity as a magician, his monthly salary was enough to cover his expenses. As for being bought off by a single divine artifact? Would all those years of hardship he and his mother endured be in vain?

  Although Lin Feng knew that the marquis in front of him still didn't know his true identity, when he understood the marquis's real intention, a surge of anger rose up from the bottom of his heart!

  Under the traction of this intense anger, Lin Feng almost subconsciously wanted to open his mouth and refuse, and even directly and clearly express his own meaning - never think about getting my friendship!

  However, Lin Feng knew that this was in Marquis's territory. If he really said something so absolute, he might not be able to leave the Marquis's mansion!!!

  However, Lin Feng was unwilling to yield and couldn't utter a single soft word in front of this nominal father of his.

  Just as Lin Feng was hesitating, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Kid, don't agree to it, I'll take care of everything."

  This sudden sentence made Lin Feng stunned for a moment, he looked at Hou Jue and found that Hou Jue was still smiling at him, seemingly not having heard the voice.

  Lin Feng was immediately somewhat bewildered.

  But... this voice, he's familiar with it.

  Although Lin Feng didn't know why Old Man Bart's voice suddenly appeared in his mind, he seemed to have found his backbone and calmed down a lot, with a composed expression gradually returning to his face.

  "Mr. Lin Feng, I suppose you have thought it through."

  The marquis saw Lin Feng's eyes calm down again and couldn't help but smile warmly and say a sentence.

  He knew that his conditions would deeply attract the young man in front of him, and seeing Lin Feng's face reveal a faint smile, he knew he had succeeded!

  Marquis looked at Lin Feng and couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, the excitement that was suppressed in his throat was about to burst out!

  Lin Feng finally spoke calmly, but his words were completely different from what Marquis had expected: "I refuse."

  "Refuse... refuse? Why?"

  Those three short words were like a heavy hammer that hit the heart of the marquis, his smile froze on his face for an instant, he furrowed his brow, and felt somewhat unresigned in his heart. He quickly added: "Is there something difficult to say, Mr. Lin Feng? Please speak out, I think I will certainly express my sincerity to you."

  "True, I do have something difficult to say."

  Lin Feng nodded, but immediately, a faintly contemptuous expression appeared on his face. At this moment, the long-suppressed oppression finally made his heart turn cold: "However, I'm afraid this unspoken secret can't be told to Marquis Hou."

  "Why?" The marquis asked subconsciously.

  Lin Feng's face suddenly turned cold, he quietly gazed at Marquis Carson, a hint of disgust floating up in his eyes: "Because... I dislike you!"

  As soon as he finished saying this sentence, Lin Feng suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

  ……

  "Are you fooling me?" The marquis was taken aback, his face darkening with a hint of anger: "Lin Feng, make no mistake, you are currently in my Marquis Manor! If I want to kill you, it's as easy as turning my hand!"

  "Want to kill me? Do you have the ability?"

  With Old Barte backing him up, Lin Feng's tone became even more arrogant: "Apart from your ability to deal with women, what else do you have? Are you expecting that idiot son of yours, Regi, to inherit your title? I think you're just a lecher who only knows how to toy with women!!"

  As soon as the words fell, Lin Feng's heart suddenly rose with an inexplicable sense of relief!!

  Eleven years of repression finally burst out at this moment!!!!!

  The marquis, obviously did not expect Lin Feng to say such a thing, and was stunned on the spot for an instant, as if he had not yet reacted.

  Lin Feng was not idle at this time, he quickly whispered a magic spell in a low voice, the marquis was already within his magical control range, as soon as the spell was finished, only to hear a "swoosh" sound, the red carved chair under the marquis's buttocks suddenly burst into flames!

  At the same time, above the study, a figure clad entirely in black suddenly dropped down beside Lin Feng with a "thud". The figure swiftly picked up Lin Feng, who was standing still, and without even glancing at the Marquis engulfed in flames, a pure white aura burst forth from its body. Borrowing the momentum from the bookshelves inside the study, it took several swift steps before leaping onto the rooftop, vanishing into the study in the blink of an eye.

  Hūn

  The door to the study was pushed open, and Mark already stood inside with his sword in hand. He had been waiting at the entrance of the study, not daring to move on his own initiative, but just now he heard the sound of the roof breaking and rushed in. However, it was only for a moment that Old Barte and Lin Feng disappeared into the study, leaving behind only the Marquis wrapped in flames on the red eagle chair, desperately trying to put out the flames on his body.

  Mark was shocked and didn't have time to investigate the leak in the roof, so he rushed to the marquis's side. His whole body burst out with a dense white aura that instantly enveloped the marquis. The next moment, the flames on the marquis had been extinguished, leaving only the red sandalwood chair still burning, which couldn't be put out.

  The flames on his body died down, and the marquis hastily retreated from the chair's position. At this time, he was extremely embarrassed, although Lin Feng's magical powers were not strong, but the unexpected attack still made the marquis somewhat unprepared. Moreover, the marquis had never thought that the red carved wood inlaid with isolation stones would also burn, which made the completely defenseless marquis take the hit.

  The marquis suffered a bitter defeat, but the burning time was too short and he did not suffer any substantial harm.

  "Sir..." Mark was about to speak, but was cut off by the Marquis's cold tone: "You don't need to say anything now. Go and chase after him for me! You must kill Lin Feng!"

  "Yes!"

  Mark's voice was decisive, and even his eyes showed a hint of excitement. Although he didn't understand what had happened at all, as soon as he heard the Marquis' command, he immediately took orders and set off in the direction the Marquis pointed to, following Lin Feng and the others who were escaping. In just a few breaths, they disappeared from the Marquis' sight.

  "Hmmph!"

  The marquis let out a cold snort and hastily walked out of the room without even bothering to tidy up his appearance.

  At this time, the sound of the roof breaking was heard, and many guards had gathered together. The leader was walking quickly towards the study room, but just then, he suddenly saw the Marquis storming out from inside with a furious expression.

  Seeing the Marquis's wretched appearance after being burned by fire, the leader of this group was shocked in his heart. Just as he wanted to say something, the Marquis pointed at the study and an angry voice had already reached his ears: "Xia Er, you're good at speed, Mark has gone to chase him down, he'll definitely leave a trail for you, hurry up and go! Mark will naturally tell you this time's target!"

  "Yes!"

  Without thinking much, Xia Er hastily rushed into the study, a pure white aura bursting out from his body, and after a few flashes, he disappeared inside.

  The remaining guards looked at me and I looked at them, neither of us understanding what had happened.

  The marquis saw the guards' bewildered appearance and suddenly felt a surge of annoyance: "Get out, don't let me see you!!"

  The guards were frightened and shrank their necks. Upon hearing the marquis's order, they quickly disappeared in front of him at their fastest speed.

  At this time, there was only one marquis left.

  He stood quietly on the spot, his chest rising and falling, his face ashen with malice: "I really didn't expect that you would actually be a magician...... Hmph, killing you, this double-gifted genius, is truly heart-wrenching..."
