Chapter 4: Each with Their Own Affairs
On the day of the grand wedding, the atmosphere was filled with joy and celebration. Distinguished guests arrived one after another.
"Lin Brother, congratulations! You've married two beautiful wives; I'm truly envious!" a boisterous man exclaimed with a laugh.
Lin Feng looked at him, surprised by his arrival to offer congratulations, and replied happily, "Brother An, I didn't expect you to come! We must drink to our heart's content today."
"Absolutely," Antang responded with a hearty laugh.
Standing beside Antang were the other three members of Qijian Pavilion, among them was Qi Wan'er.
"Congratulations to you," Qi Wan'er said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior," Lin Feng replied.
"In terms of cultivation, I should be calling you Senior now," Qi Wan'er remarked, having recently entered the Legendary Realm.
Lin Feng smiled back, "In my life, I make friends without regard for their foundation; I value true character above all."
"What a statement about true character! Lin Brother, I knew I didn't misjudge you," Antang laughed again.
Lin Feng personally led the four members of Qijian Pavilion to their seats before excusing himself to greet other guests. Not far away, three figures approached slowly. The leader wore a long robe and had strikingly upright short hair.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, what brings you here?" Lin Feng exclaimed joyfully.
"It’s only right for us to attend your wedding," Master Da replied.
"Please, this way."
Lin Feng led Master Da and the others into the house, bringing them before his parents. "Mother, Father, this is my Senior Brother, and this is my Second Senior Brother, and this is Third Senior Sister."
Master Da and the others greeted, "Greetings, Uncle and Aunt."
"You all are truly wonderful. Our Feng'er is fortunate to have met you," Lindor said with a grateful expression.
Before long, another esteemed guest arrived—a Thin Elder.
"Ji Senior, I didn't expect you to come as well," Lin Feng said happily.
"I was feeling peckish and came over for a drink," Elder Ji replied with a smile.
"Senior, please make yourself at home. Eat and drink as you like."
Soon after, more guests arrived. Divine General Manor's Sovereign Li Jing and the Blazing Fire Sect Master Fire Vein came to offer their congratulations. Other Sovereigns from various sects also arrived upon hearing the news.
Qingshan Town gathered the pinnacle of human power from across the Nine Provinces.
After finishing the meal, everyone bid farewell one by one. Lin Feng felt exhausted but immensely happy. He returned to his room and looked at the two brides sitting side by side on the bed, covered with red cloth, their faces radiating happiness.
Fire Vein suddenly appeared from nowhere and said, "Lin Brother, there has always been a tradition of making a ruckus during the wedding night. I'm here to liven things up for you today. I even brought Li Jing along."
At that moment, Li Jing also appeared unexpectedly. Master Da and the others showed up simultaneously as if they had all coordinated to arrive at Lin Feng's bridal chamber at the same time.
Lin Feng looked at everyone and smiled, "What are you all planning?"
"It's simple. Here sit two brides. You must call out their names one by one. Of course, you can't use your cultivation. If you call out correctly, you'll embrace a beautiful woman tonight. If you get it wrong, there will be a penalty," Fire Vein said with a grin.
Lin Feng looked at the two brides sitting side by side on the Soft Couch. He noticed that their outfits and accessories were identical, right down to their shoes and the jewelry on their heads.
"How can I guess without using Cultivation?" Lin Feng said with a wry smile.
"Since you have the ability to take two wives, you should naturally be able to tell them apart," Guan Family replied with a laugh.
"Sister, are you teasing me too?" Lin Feng smiled at Guan Family, then suddenly spoke up, "Miaomiao."
As he spoke, Lin Feng glanced at the two brides, hoping to discern them through their reactions. Unfortunately, both remained completely still, showing no response whatsoever.
"You must have conspired together to trick me. No way that's happening."
Lin Feng thought to himself, then suddenly fell to the ground, his body shaking violently as he occasionally foamed at the mouth. With a weak expression, he pleaded, "Help... help me."
"Lin Feng..."
Miaomiao and Wind Spirit saw that something was wrong with Lin Feng. Forgetting about the game, they called out his name and rushed toward him. Just as they were about to reach Lin Feng, he suddenly got up and said while holding one of them, "The one on the left is Lin Miaomiao, and the one on the right is Wind Spirit. Game over. Everyone can disperse now."
At that moment, everyone realized what had happened. Miaomiao and Wind Spirit glared at him in annoyance, each grabbing one of Lin Feng's ears.
"Well done, Lin Feng. How dare you trick me," Wind Spirit said.
"Lin Feng, not bad; your acting was quite convincing," Lin Miaomiao added.
Lin Feng chuckled bitterly. "Aren't you two also in on the scheme to trick me?"
With two beautiful women by his side, Lin Feng spent a sleepless night.
The next day, Daohe's disciple Walker had already left. Only the Divine Ruins Disciple and Elder Ji remained. They sat in the hall, discussing important matters.
Lin Feng spoke up, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I have learned that there is still a passage connecting the realms. Master is standing within that passage, preventing the Demon King from descending into the human world."
"And Shishu is also in that passage."
Upon hearing this, Master Da's expression turned serious. "Where is this passage? How did you find out?"
Lin Feng then recounted his encounter with the Red-Butt Macaque.
"I see," Master Da said, concern etched on his face. "It seems Master's situation is not good."
Elder Ji pondered for a moment. "Market has been gone for thousands of years and has managed to hold on until now. I believe he can endure until the end. Our most pressing issue is still to resolve matters in the human realm."
Master Da considered this for a moment and replied, "Ji Senior's words are reasonable. If we allow their presence to interfere, Master will be in danger. However, we need to locate the passage and protect it."
"Old habits die hard. Senior Brother will search for the location of the passage while I guard the Mountain Gate," Dugu Po said.
Elder Ji nodded. "Lin Feng's task will be to return to the star you came from and uncover everything."
They discussed their roles, each taking on their responsibilities. Master Da, worried about Master's safety, left first, followed by Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister.
Second Senior Brother would guard the Mountain Gate while Third Senior Sister returned to the secular world, keeping an eye on the movements of the Demon Sect, Ghost Sect, and Pujue Temple.
Before leaving, Elder Ji said, "Lin Feng, the Jiuzhou Gathering Conference is about to begin again. This time, you will go to Zhongzhou on my behalf."
"Sure, what is my purpose for going to Zhongzhou?" Lin Feng asked.
“Jiuzhou Gathering Conference allows the top disciples of all generations to have the opportunity to meet with the Sage for guidance. Have you forgotten?” Elder Ji retorted.
Lin Feng suddenly remembered this matter. He had earned the chance to meet the Machine Sage after securing the top spot in all three rankings. He smiled and said, “So that’s what it is, I understand.”
“If you encounter rare talents, you may also recruit them into the Divine Ruins,” Elder Ji added before taking his leave.
Five days later, Lin Feng bid farewell to his parents and set off for Zhongzhou with Lin Miaomiao and Wind Spirit.
The Jiuzhou Gathering Conference is held once every four years to select the most outstanding young powerhouses of Zhongzhou. Upon arriving in Zhongzhou, various sects and their Sovereigns came out personally to welcome him.
The leader of the Qingyun Sect, He Rongsheng, was at the Legendary Realm.
The Divine General Manor's Sovereign, Li Jing, was at the False Saint Realm.
The Great Zhou Sovereign, known as Cold Rain, was also at the Legendary Realm.
The master of the Blazing Fire Sect, Fire Vein, was at the False Saint Realm.
Fire Vein was particularly warm towards Lin Feng, calling him brother. He had advanced to the rank of Pseudo-Saint thanks to the spirit beast broth that Lin Feng had gifted him, which allowed him to sense the aura of a Sage. Similarly, Li Jing was also very enthusiastic towards Lin Feng.
When He Rongsheng looked at Lin Feng, his expression was complex. During the last Jiuzhou Gathering Conference, he had been the focus as the number one young powerhouse, but because of the emergence of this unexpected Dark Horse, he had completely faded into obscurity.
Now, at just over twenty years old, he had entered the Legendary Realm, which was indeed impressive. Yet in front of Lin Feng, he appeared dull and overshadowed.
“Brother He, long time no see,” Lin Feng greeted with a smile. At his level of cultivation, his perspective had naturally broadened significantly.
“Long time no see,” He Rongsheng replied awkwardly with a smile.
The Jiuzhou Gathering Conference, as in previous years, was divided into preliminary trials, the Examination, and the Martial Examination. Lin Feng walked through Gaojing, not paying attention to the competitions among the young disciples; at that moment, the entire Gaojing was within his view.
“Ling'er, let me take you to see the noodle shop that I ran with Lin Feng back in the day,” Lin Miaomiao said cheerfully.
“You two actually ran a noodle shop?” Wind Spirit asked, astonished.
“Of course! Lin Feng made excellent noodles; the flavor was unforgettable,” Lin Miaomiao said, glancing at Lin Feng with a teasing look in her eyes.
“I’m afraid that noodle shop might not be around anymore,” Lin Feng replied.
The three of them arrived at Azure Fish Alley and were surprised to find that Feng Miao Noodle House was still there. The door was closed, and all the surrounding shops had changed completely, yet Feng Miao Noodle House remained just as it was.
“Looks like Feng Miao Noodle House is still here after all,” Wind Spirit said with a smile.
Lin Miaomiao remarked, “Could it be Brother Tu who kept it preserved?”
“I think so too,” Lin Feng nodded.
He opened the shop's door, and the interior was just as it had been yesterday, without a hint of change. The tables, counter, and even the items in the kitchen were all dust-free. It seemed someone had been keeping it clean all along.
“Who are you? Don’t you know this pawn shop is off-limits and not for rent?”
A young man entered the noodle shop and glared at Lin Feng and the others.
Lin Feng looked at him and said, “Go back and tell Tu Yu that Lin Feng has returned.”
The young man stared blankly at Lin Feng and asked, “You... are you Lin Feng, the Lin Saint?”
"Go ahead," Lin Feng said with a noncommittal smile.
"Greetings, Sage." The young man respectfully bowed to Lin Feng before quickly turning to leave.
Before long, a cheerful voice rang out, "Lin Brother, you finally returned! I knew one day you would come back. Look, I've kept the noodle shop open just for you."
Lin Miaomiao watched as Tu Yu walked in and smiled, "Customer, would you like some noodles? What kind do you want?"
"Boss Lady, it's been a while. You still look as beautiful as ever. I'll have Beef Noodle Soup, extra spicy," Tu Yu replied with a grin.
"Alright, coming right up," Lin Miaomiao said.
Lin Feng stepped into the kitchen. Inside, everything was fresh and well-stocked. Tu Yu had instructed his staff to change the flour, broth, and everything else daily.
"Spirit, come help me out," Lin Feng called.
"Sure, I was just curious about how you make noodles," Wind Spirit giggled.
