Bai Lingfeng felt like he was about to be laughed to death by anger.
The things he encountered today were even more speechless than usual.
When he was provoked in the past, it was at least because he had obtained some treasures or accidentally offended some rich playboys, which caused a series of disputes and eventually escalated into a fight.
But what was the situation now?
“I just came out to fish, and inexplicably I was targeted by others, who invited me in the most arrogant tone to join them in a great undertaking.”
“I simply refused, and I didn’t even pursue the fact that they had investigated me. Yet they were unhappy and wanted to teach me a lesson.”
“What is this? Even being arrogant and domineering should have limits, right? Aren’t they afraid that if they do too many bad things, they’ll run into someone they can’t afford to mess with?”
Bai Lingfeng took a deep breath, originally thinking of taking half a step back and letting it go:
“If the two of you leave now, I’ll pretend today’s events never happened, and I never heard your words. How about that?”
The man in black thought he was scared, sneered, and pressed his advantage:
“Kid, don’t you get it? Today, there’s only one path left for you: obediently join us. Otherwise, you won’t have a good ending.”
“That’s right, Bai Lingfeng. I advise you to think carefully before making a decision. Although your strength is great, we have all come out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How could we be weaklings?”
“Moreover, we won’t fight you one-on-one. You have no chance of winning.”
Hearing this, Bai Lingfeng sighed softly and showed a helpless expression:
“I just don’t want trouble. Rarely do I choose to back down today, but you think I’m afraid.”
“Really… forget it. Let the rest of your people come out too.”
“If you want to fight, I’ll be happy to accompany you to the end today!”
Bai Lingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm yet with an undeniable aura.
The leader of the men in black just smiled faintly and called out:
“Everyone, come out. Since Young Master Bai wants to be taught a lesson, how can we not let him learn his lesson?”
“It’s been a while since we’ve fought, so everyone must be itching for action. Let’s vent on him.”
“There was supposed to be one more, but somehow she fell behind along the way. That’s normal. We can’t worry about that now.”
The hidden men in black—Blue Eyes, Daoba, and Fangs—all walked out.
As the figures emerged one by one, Bai Lingfeng’s calm eyes lit up slightly, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
It wasn’t fear, but excitement.
He could clearly feel that each of these men in black was extraordinary. The killing intent they carried was not something ordinary people could have, and their coordination was extremely tacit. They were definitely top-notch experts.
The moment the other four men in black appeared, they and the other two surrounded Bai Lingfeng.
Their seemingly chaotic positions actually contained some kind of image.
The aura of the six in front seemed to merge as one, pressing toward him together.
Bai Lingfeng felt his own aura inexplicably suppressed.
He was not facing six separate individuals, but six who were connected in spirit, even existing as one.
Bai Lingfeng thought to himself:
‘Some kind of battle formation? It seems these six have a considerable background.’
‘But that’s fine. I don’t want fights that are as easy as before.’
‘Meeting them today might not be a bad thing.’
He couldn’t help but smile:
“Only by constantly walking between life and death can I understand the true meaning and discover my real talent!”
Ten minutes later.
Bai Lingfeng, with slightly dirty clothes, left calmly, leaving behind the men in black who had been thoroughly beaten.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked solemnly at the woman in black in front of him, asking in a deep voice:
“You also want to teach me a lesson?”
“You even specially arranged a substitute. Quite well-prepared. But you seem to underestimate me.”
You Yuelan, who had lagged behind earlier, was resting against a tree trunk, planning to go check on things after everything was over. She cursed her bad luck.
‘I did this much to avoid trouble, but I still can’t escape this mess?’
‘Isn’t Bai Lingfeng supposed to be having a great time fighting them? Why is he here?’
‘Did he knock them all out?’
Although she was reluctant to face it, now that she was here, You Yuelan could only force a smile on her stiff face, trying to bluff her way out:
“Well, although I’m with them, I don’t mean to surround you. I just have to stand here.”
“If you want to leave, you can go directly. I don’t want to fight either. Is that okay?”
Bai Lingfeng squinted and observed her.
Seeing her lazy demeanor, she really didn’t seem to be there to intercept him, but rather like someone forced to work, unhappy.
Bai Lingfeng smiled and said:
“Since you don’t intend to fight, I naturally won’t strike first.”
“After all, we’re both from the Lingyun Sect. It’s best if we don’t fight.”
You Yuelan nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to leave, Bai Lingfeng called out to her.
“Hey, wait.”
“You look familiar. Do you know Lin Huanhuan? Do you often stay with her?”
Bai Lingfeng remembered that he had accidentally encountered Lin Huanhuan nine times before, and almost every time he saw her with You Yuelan, they seemed very close. He couldn’t help asking.
Hearing this, You Yuelan’s slightly muddled mind cleared up a bit.
Her stiff expression seemed to melt as she nodded:
“Yes, I have walked with Lin Huanhuan a few times before.”
“She often likes to bully me in special ways, but I don’t dislike it.”
“Bully you in special ways, and you don’t dislike it?”
Bai Lingfeng frowned slightly, inexplicably thinking of some unseemly games, and became a little unhappy.
“I am her friend, and I have a good relationship with her. But I haven’t heard her mention you before. Did you two only meet recently?”
“Can you tell me how you met?”
Bai Lingfeng began to probe for information.
You Yuelan blinked, immediately sensing the ulterior motives of the person in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she decided to hide some things.
Thus, they started chatting around the topic of Lin Huanhuan.
Both of them were thinking about extracting some information about Lin Huanhuan from the other.
What they didn’t know was that the scene of their conversation was being watched by a young girl on a distant hill.
Although she couldn’t hear what they were saying, the girl still nodded with satisfaction.
