For Lin Feng, Song Ran is completely unaware of the tricks he is playing. Right now, all Song Ran feels is shock and fear; he has no confidence in escaping after their earlier confrontation.
After all, if you were to face someone and your full-strength attack was easily blocked, what would you do? Would you still feel like you had a chance to fight back?
The answer is certainly no. Therefore, at this moment, seeing Lin Feng allow him and the Young Master to leave, Song Ran truly feels incredibly lucky.
Although he feels helpless and unwilling to have been thoroughly defeated by a young brat, he understands that his resentment is only temporary. After all, he now realizes that with Lin Feng's current age and such high cultivation level, it is something he cannot contend with. Since he cannot compete, he naturally won't dwell on it for too long.
Now that Lin Feng is letting him and his Young Master go, even though it feels like charity, he can no longer afford to be picky. Being able to bring the living Song Xin home and not having his own cultivation wasted is enough for him.
As for why he lost so easily to Lin Feng today, Song Ran has already decided that once he returns to the Song Family, he will fully disclose everything. The family has unwittingly made an enemy of Lin Feng, and he knows that if they hide Lin Feng's true strength, not only will he struggle to explain why he lost so quickly, but more importantly, if Lin Feng ever seeks revenge against the family while they continue to underestimate him, Song Ran cannot imagine whether there will still be a " Song Family" in the future.
Although he wants to get rid of the troublesome Song Xin, Song Ran still instructs a few people to carry him back. As for himself, he contemplates how to inform the family head about everything that happened here.
“Ha ha, Liu Jie Young Master, what's wrong? You've been watching for so long; according to your character, shouldn't you have shown up once one side gained the upper hand? Why haven't you appeared yet?” Taking advantage of the fact that Song Ran and the others had not yet stepped out of the Western Restaurant, Lin Feng shouted loudly towards the door using his Internal Energy.
Although Lin Feng's Mental Power is still far from Tesla's level, it has significantly improved compared to before. Therefore, it was easy for him to spot Liu Jie, who had been hiding in a business vehicle outside. He deliberately let him watch this scene to create a sense of shock, but now, Lin Feng naturally does not want him to continue lurking in the shadows.
Lin Feng instructed Li Zhong to send out word to draw in Liu Jie, as he did not intend for him to remain a passive observer. He knows that Song Gang and Qian Bang have always been at odds; this much is clear to him. He also understands that his sudden involvement could disrupt their relationship. Although he does not wish for this outcome, ultimately, he has been dragged into this conflict because of the ignorant scoundrel that is Song Xin.
Well then, since he's involved now, Lin Feng certainly cannot just be a pawn. Since he's here, he aims to seize certain benefits. He looks down on small gains; what he wants are the kinds of benefits that arise when Song Gang and Qian Bang are evenly matched—those substantial profits.
Lin Feng believes that only by obtaining such benefits can his efforts against Song Gang be justified.
At this moment, Lin Feng is pressuring Liu Jie, as well as the forces represented by him from behind—namely, Qian Bang. He knows that many things are beyond his control; from the moment Dong Jie was forced off a cliff by Song Xin, he resolved to become stronger. It was only at that moment that his desire for strength became intensely strong; now is his opportunity to grow stronger.
In simpler terms, what Lin Feng wants right now is to incite a war between Song Gang and Qian Bang. More precisely, he aims to activate the hidden conflict between them. He knows that only when they truly go to war can he reap the benefits as an outsider.
This is why Lin Feng called out for Liu Jie before Song Ran and the others left the restaurant.
Seeing the shocking strike that Lin Feng delivered against Song Ran, Liu Jie realizes that Lin Feng has indeed grown stronger. Although he does not want to admit it, the fact remains: Lin Feng's strength may have surpassed his own.
Just based on the fact that unlike him, who could not withstand even one of Song Ran's fierce attacks with a single move like Lin Feng, he must acknowledge that indeed, Lin Feng is stronger than him.
What shocked Liu Jie even more was that Lin Feng actually knew he was hiding nearby, watching. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Lin Feng was just guessing or had truly confirmed his presence. However, at this moment, regardless of whether Lin Feng was guessing or certain, he had no choice but to get out of the car. No matter how carefree Liu Jie was, he couldn't allow others to look down on him, especially since Song Gang's people were still around; he definitely couldn't let them underestimate him.
Being forced out by Lin Feng rather than coming out on his own left Liu Jie feeling somewhat dissatisfied. In a sense, Lin Feng had taken the initiative in this confrontation.
First, he had single-handedly driven away Song Gang's men, and then he had exposed Liu Jie's secret of watching from the sidelines right in front of them. These were things Liu Jie could not accept.
Or rather, what Liu Jie couldn't accept was that it seemed all his actions were within Lin Feng's expectations.
Although Liu Jie possessed impressive Internal Energy skills, what he prided himself on most was his clever mind. He understood deeply that being able to fight only made him a warrior; what he aimed to become was a strategist.
Nevertheless, Liu Jie still stepped into the small Western restaurant with Lin Feng's smile in mind.
Seeing Liu Jie enter, Lin Feng felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, everything had gone according to his expectations; even Liu Jie had come as anticipated and transitioned from the shadows to the light. All of this had been arranged by Lin Feng long ago.
However, Song Ran's mood was not good. Having just lost to Lin Feng, she now learned that Liu Jie had been outside watching the spectacle, which naturally put her in a foul mood.
Like Liu Jie, Song Ran knew that Song Gang and Qian Bang appeared amicable on the surface but were secretly scheming against each other. At this moment, with Liu Jie witnessing Song Gang's embarrassment, she certainly couldn't feel pleased.
"Ha ha... I happened to pass by here and saw that Young Master Feng and Young Master Song seemed to have some conflict. I was about to come over and mediate when I realized that Song Gang and Young Master Feng resolved it peacefully. I truly admire both of your magnanimity; it was just a misunderstanding that could be cleared up. This is for the best." Although Liu Jie had just been sitting back and watching the fight unfold, he naturally couldn't admit to his earlier actions in front of everyone. Instead, he smiled and spoke in a way that offended neither party.
"Ha ha... So Young Master Jie is really here! My younger brother Lin Feng would like to thank Young Master Jie for saving me at the cliff that day. Otherwise, if that villain Song Xin had succeeded, my sister's life would have been in danger." Lin Feng also greeted Liu Jie with a smile. On the surface, he was expressing gratitude but was actually informing Song Ran that it was Liu Jie who had disrupted her family's young master's plans last time; if she wanted to vent her anger, she should take it out on him.
Lin Feng had already learned from Li Zhong that Liu Jie had eliminated three Inner Strength Experts from the Song Family after jumping off the cliff with him and Dong Jie. He believed that this grudge would not be easily forgotten by Song Gang. Like Liu Jie, Lin Feng was waiting to watch the conflict between Qian Bang and Song Gang unfold; he naturally wanted to inform the Song Family about what Liu Jie had done that day.
If they didn't know about it, how would they seek revenge?
In fact, Song Gang likely already knew about this information; however, knowing something wasn't enough—evidence was still needed. Through Lin Feng's words, it would provide some evidence for Song Gang.
Lin Feng was the main witness; his words served as proof.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Liu Jie's expression changed. He understood what Lin Feng meant and quickly replied, "Ha ha... Young Master Feng is overpraising me! How could I have such capabilities?"
It was no joke; while it was true that he had done those things, he would never admit it—whoever admitted such things would be in trouble.
"Oh, I understand what you mean by Jie Shao," Lin Feng said, pretending to have an epiphany after hearing Liu Jie's words, quickly adopting a "I get your point" expression.
Lin Feng wanted Song Ran to misunderstand like this; it was best if they fought to the bitter end. This was exactly the outcome Lin Feng desired.
Liu Jie was nearly driven to madness by Lin Feng. What frustrated him the most was that he knew Lin Feng was pushing him into a corner, yet he couldn't find the words to argue back, leaving him momentarily speechless.
Seeing Liu Jie at a loss for words, Song Ran understood everything in his heart. At this moment, there was no need for him to say anything. He knew that with his current strength, he couldn't compete with either Lin Feng or Liu Jie. He had no choice but to take Song Xin back first and report the situation to the Song Family Head, allowing the head of the family to make a decision.
Thus, Song Ran said nothing more; he merely glanced at Lin Feng and Liu Jie, then clasped his fists and turned to leave. It was the only thing he could do at that moment.
Seeing Song Ran leave, Liu Jie realized that Lin Feng had just returned and already gotten himself into trouble. Killing three Inner Strength Experts from the Song Family had created enough enmity for them to send someone after him. If things weren't handled properly, Song Gang and Qian Bang might go to war immediately.
At that moment, Liu Jie, who had come to watch the show, lost all interest in staying. He needed to report what had happened here to his father quickly so that his father could make a decision. However, he wasn't too worried; he believed that his father's actions at the cliff would be well-received. After all, losing three Inner Strength Experts would be enough to seriously injure the Song Family.
As Liu Jie prepared to leave, Lin Feng's expression darkened. He called out to Liu Jie: "You are the one who dragged me into this conflict between your Qian Bang and Song Gang. You must take responsibility for your actions."
After saying this, Lin Feng no longer looked at Liu Jie's reaction and strode off.
He knew that from this moment on, he would no longer have to pretend to be brotherly with Liu Jie and the Qian Bang.
