Chapter 165: Eating

  The slender figure in green disappeared at the end of the long street, on the balcony of the Black Purple Chrysanthemum Inn. Liu Qingwu lightly walked out and saw Lin Feng still standing on the balcony of the Night Crow Inn, his face expressionless, then slowly walked back.

  "Master of Symbols!"

  Lin Feng turned around and walked back into the room, looking at the token in his hand, a hint of joy also appeared on his face.

  Joining the Symbol Master Guild was a task entrusted by Master Wenhou. Now this task has been easily completed.

  Contacting the superpowers on this continent is extremely beneficial for Luoyun Sect. As long as there is enough money, high-quality talisman equipment can be purchased from the Symbol Master Guild.

  Of course, the financial resources of Luoyun Sect are not enough to make large purchases in the Symbol Master Guild, but since joining the Symbol Master Guild, Lin Feng and Wen Hou have a better source of symbol materials, which is also extremely beneficial for their improvement in the symbol way.

  "Alright, kid, joining the Symbol Master Guild is fine, but you must keep a low profile." The old man's voice rang out. "You can show off your talent in symbol arts, but be sure to stop at the right time, never reveal your ability to quickly learn symbol scrolls, that's extremely dangerous!"

  "Uh-huh, I see." Lin Feng nodded.

  Others who watch the symbol dao scrolls need to ponder for a long time before they can barely understand the true meaning of the symbol dao, while Lin Xiao is able to directly see the ancient symbol dao's powerful strokes and lines, this is his greatest advantage in the symbol dao.

  But he would never casually expose this secret. With his intelligence, he naturally understood that he couldn't be completely unreserved without any reservations.

  "Most importantly, you must not let anyone know that you are the successor of the Cloud Summit Sect. The old guys from the Symbol Master's Hall have been searching for the tomb of the Cloud Summit Sect all along. If they find out your identity, it will be a great threat to both you and your cheap master!"

  "Uh-huh." Lin Feng nodded and also smiled. "Zhuang Lao, aren't you afraid of being discovered by others? Why are you speaking again!"

  "Look at you, strutting around like a proud rooster, eager to let everyone know you've joined the Symbol Master Guild. I'm only risking speaking up to remind you of one thing: remember, under no circumstances should you reveal to anyone in the Symbol Master Guild that you're the successor of the Cloud Summit Sect. Not even if it's someone from the Fallen Cloud Sect, unless your master agrees to it. And as for that person who holds a special place in your heart, don't breathe a word about this secret to them either!"

  "Alright." Lin Feng nodded slightly with a somewhat depressed expression.

  As a symbol master, Ye Zi had no intention of hiding it from him. He was originally planning to wait until he really became a symbol master and then give Ye Zi a surprise, but since Master Zhuang said so, he could only agree.

  Zhuang Lao hummed and stopped talking. Lin Feng looked at the identity token in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

  The next morning.

  The morning light was faint, and the streets were extremely quiet. Lin Feng ate something casually on the first floor of the inn, and then went out.

  Today he is preparing to buy some low-grade beast blood, ready to start trying out the materials for drawing talisman arrays. His destination, naturally, is the underground beast fighting arena.

  Lin Feng!

  Lin Feng had just walked a short distance when suddenly a clear and cold voice sounded from behind him.

  Lin Feng turned around and saw Liu Qingwu standing at the side of the street, wearing a white dress as white as snow, looking at him with a calm expression.

  "What's wrong? Is there something?" Lin Feng furrowed his brow.

  "Come with me, my master has asked me to invite you." said Liu Qingwu coldly.

  "Your master."

  Lin Feng was puzzled.

  "What did your master ask you to do?"

  Liu Qingwu said: "Let's eat!"

  "Eat, but I just ate." Lin Feng scratched his head, thinking that there was no such thing as inviting someone to eat early in the morning.

  Liu Qingwu turned around and left: "Idiot!"

  Lin Feng was shocked and immediately shook his head with a bitter smile.

  This sentence is indeed stupid enough. Xue Xinlan invited herself to dinner, of course not for the sake of eating, and someone like her invited herself, she didn't even have the qualification to refuse.

  Jian Liu had already danced away lightly, and Lin Feng also hurriedly followed her.

  Liu Qingwu walked silently in front, Lin Feng followed behind, keeping a distance of several zhang from Liu Qingwu. The two arrived at the Hei Zi Jing Hotel, one after the other, and entered Xue Xinlan's room.

  Inside the room, Xue Xinlan stood with her back against the door, staring at a painting on the wall.

  Her back figure is very beautiful, obviously she was also a woman who could overturn the city and the country in those years, even now, she still has great charm.

  Lin Feng's gaze also fell on that painting, looking at the painting, he also felt extremely strange.

  The entire painting has no redundant colors, all drawn with fine gray lines, but it looks extremely vivid. The middle-aged man on the screen is smiling slyly, as if he is flirting with a young girl who is in love.

  In one corner of the painting, a few small but powerful words were written:

  Zhuang Mi Die's self-portrait, sent to her dearest and most beloved Xinlan little treasure.

  "Shameless guy." Lin Feng thought to himself, such cheesy words written on the painting, definitely not a good person, but the painting skills are really good, don't know what method was used to paint it.

  In his heart, Lin Feng was cursing, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense. It was obvious that the man in the painting and this woman named Xue Xinlan had a deep relationship. Xue Xinlan was undoubtedly a master, and Lin Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke her arbitrarily.

  "Master, Lin Feng has arrived." Liu Qingwu said softly.

  "Greetings, Senior Xinlan." Lin Feng bowed and said.

  "Oh, you're here."

  Xue Xinlan gently turned around and smiled warmly at Lin Feng.

  "Sit down!"

  "Yes, senior." Lin Feng sat down, and Liu Qingwu also sat down across from him.

  "Go first, Light Dance." Xue Xinlan said with a faint smile.

  "Oh." Liu Qingwu was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Yes, Master!"

  Liu Qingwu stood up and looked at Lin Feng deeply before turning around and walking out.

  "Senior, you're looking for me, what's up?" Lin Feng asked.

  "Come and have dinner with me, didn't Light Dance tell you?"; Xue Xinlan smiled slightly. "Come on, good kid, try my cooking!"

  On the large table there was a huge plate, covered with a big bowl. Xue Xinlan gently lifted the bowl and a tempting fragrance wafted out.

  Inside the plate, there is a type of pasta, plump and neat, like little pigs, arranged in rows extremely neatly. The fragrance comes from these pastas.

  The middle part of the staple food is slightly darker in color, apparently there is some kind of filling inside.

  "Senior, what is this?" Lin Feng looked at that strange food and couldn't help but ask.

  He has never seen this kind of food before.

  "This is called a dumpling, haven't you ever had one?" Xue Xinlan asked Lin Feng with a probing gaze.

  "I've never eaten it, nor have I ever seen it." Lin Feng said honestly.

  "Really?!"

  Xue Xinlan smiled and said: "The dumplings with three fresh fillings are best eaten while hot, good boy, try some quickly!"

  "Ah, okay!"

  Lin Feng picked up one of those strange noodles with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed, feeling the flavor was exceptionally delicious, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Delicious!"

  Hehe. Xue Xinlan smiled when Lin Feng praised her, and she also laughed. This type of noodle is a specialty from the hometown of an old friend of mine. Back then, he would always wrap some for me to eat, but I had never made them myself. After not seeing him for so many years, I finally figured out how to make them after a long time, and they barely look like the real thing! I don't know if they'll suit his taste or not!

  "Oh." Lin Feng responded inexplicably, thinking to himself why they were telling him this.

  "Mushrooms, shrimp, scallions, refined salt, sesame oil, these ingredients are relatively easy to find. However, the pungent and edible material he mentioned, called garlic, I have never seen before. In the vicinity of Wan Shou Town, there is a kind of wild onion that is estimated to be similar to what he said. I've tried it several times, and dumplings paired with this thing are the most delicious. Come, kid, try some!"

  Xue Xinlan said, her slender hand waved lightly, and several green wild scallions fell in front of Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng picked up a dumpling and took a bite, then ate another mouthful of wild scallions, also feeling the flavor was extremely unique.

  "It's really great." Lin Feng sincerely praised.

  "Hehe, as long as you like it." Xue Xinlan smiled and said, "Kids, eat up while it's hot!"

  "Are you not eating, senior?" Lin Feng asked.

  "You eat, I'll just watch you eat." Xīn Lán smiled and said. "After you finish eating, I have some questions for you!"

  "Alright." Lin Feng nodded his head.

  Xue Xinlan wouldn't normally treat herself to a meal for no reason, but she clearly didn't have any ill intentions towards herself. The noodles on the table were actually quite good, and Lin Feng didn't hesitate, quickly devouring them with the wild scallions.

  "Full yet?" Xue Xinlan smiled and said. "If not enough, there's more!"

  "I'm full." Lin Feng said repeatedly. "Senior, if you have any questions, just ask!"

  Hehe.

  Xue Xinlan smiled slightly.

  Lin Feng, who is your master!

  Her complexion remained calm, but her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

  "Master." Lin Feng was shocked.

  "It was the one who taught you the Vermilion Bird's Ten Thousand Images Technique." Xīn Lán smiled, but her voice trembled slightly.

  "Tell me, where is he now? Is he okay?"

  "Jade Peacock Ten Thousand Phenomena Technique!!" Lin Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  However, he was resolute and reacted quickly, with a perfectly timed look of astonishment on his face: "Senior, what's this 'Zhuque Wanxiang Gong' you're talking about? I don't understand!"

  "You little scamp." Xue Xinlan looked at Lin Feng, sighing. "Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards you or your master. Your master and I are very good friends, extremely close ones. It's been so many years since we last met, I just wanted to know if he's doing well."

  Snow Xinyue's gaze turned towards the wall.

  There, that debonair middle-aged man was smiling at her.

  "Senior, I really don't understand what you mean, what is this Vermilion Bird Infinite Transformations Technique, I don't get it." Lin Feng said with a sincere expression, shaking his head.

  "You little scoundrel, how you're just like your master, looking honest on the surface but actually cunning and deceitful beyond compare!"

  Xue Xinlan shook her head and said: "Then I'll ask you, is your master's surname Zhuang?"
