экстравагантный

Глава 41

Lin Feng, dressed in men's clothing, was handsome and tall. His black outfit and cold, aloof demeanor emanated from him, and he seemed oblivious to the stares around him, as if they were air. Thus, those who looked at him were not much different from Bei Chentian. It seems that the concept of being infatuated has existed throughout history, and all types of handsome men have their admirers. Handsome and cool are two major trends, and even those stranded in this alternate dimension cannot escape them.

Nangong Chuixue, a young man in white, is handsome and aloof, but not as unapproachable as Lin Feng.

Ouyang Xiao, with a frank smile on his face, appeared somewhat unrestrained. His folding fan was inscribed with the words "The World of Romance," making him appear to be a dashing young master.

Bei Chenxiang, standing on either side of Lin Feng in Bei Chen Tian, was not particularly arrogant and appeared gentle and refined. Who would have thought that such a person was also a mighty warrior?

As he walked, Lin Feng glanced around several times, wondering if the women's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

Of course, this did not affect the five people's lively conversation in the slightest. Bei Chentian, imitating Ouyang Xiao, somehow produced a fan and used it to cover his face, making it impossible to read his expression. Lin Feng ridiculed him for this, saying that he had tried to imitate a tiger but ended up with a dog instead, as this had actually obscured his own kingly aura.

Bei Chentian replied that when traveling incognito, one should not let others notice, and it is appropriate to conceal it.

Lin Feng asked again why he stopped hiding it, but Bei Chentian smiled without answering. However, Lin Feng felt uneasy looking at his smile.

Here we go again, and his smile is getting more and more lewd! Lin Feng thought to himself, I have to be careful of him, that smile of his is probably another scheme he's plotting!

Bei Chentian is one of the very few people Lin Feng can't see through. He's always mysterious and no one knows what's going on in his head. Trying to guess his thoughts would probably give you a headache, so Lin Feng usually doesn't do anything pointless.

As long as this person doesn't intend to kill her, cooperating with him will bring her many benefits.

As for Tianyi Tower, its full name is actually "The Number One Tower Under Heaven." Its location is superb, situated at the very beginning of Pujie Avenue. Lin Feng was truly pained when he asked Hu Yan to buy the space. Regardless of where the money came from, once it was in his account, Lin Feng treated it as his own. Being ripped off for no reason was unacceptable, so he had someone dress up as a ghost and scare the shop owner that very night. Fortunately, the location was indeed excellent, as evidenced by Tianyi Tower's business and reputation.

The shop assistants were all hired and had been in business for many years. They were all very perceptive. As soon as they saw the five people arrive at the door, one of the quick-witted ones immediately came up, greeted the guests with a smile, and asked if they wanted a private room.

Lin Feng and his group of five came here to experience some romance, so they didn't need any private rooms and simply declined. The main hall was bustling with activity, with only two or three tables available. The five of them chose a table by the window, ordered the waiter to serve them their dishes, and the waiter nodded in agreement. The tea and other refreshments were served very attentively.

The group looked around the shop and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's truly an ingenious idea. Just the store design alone is probably the best in Fancheng."

Seeing how engrossed they were, Lin Feng pretended to accompany them on a tour to avoid revealing her true intentions. She was satisfied with the shop and its income, and as long as it wasn't revealed that she was the mastermind behind it all, she was quite content.

Lin Feng glanced at Bei Chentian, whose eyes were shining as he looked around, and wondered to himself. Suddenly, he saw Bei Chentian's eyes, which shone like stars in the night, looking at him. His heart skipped a beat, but he didn't back down. He looked back directly and smiled, "Chentian, you've taken a fancy to this place?"

Seeing that she had no flaws, Bei Chentian smiled and shifted his gaze, picking up his glass and taking a sip of wine: "No, I'm just a little interested in the owner of this place."

She smiled mischievously: "You've always been interested in strange people." Bei Chentian smiled back: "Aren't you a strange person too?"

Lin Feng's heartbeat gradually calmed down; he had almost made a fatal mistake! Walking with this man meant he couldn't let his guard down for a moment! The three people over there were still watching, unaware that another real and fake power struggle was taking place here.

A short while later, the barbecue with cumin powder arrived. Everyone shared it and exclaimed how delicious it was. The plate was devoured in no time. A few people were still not satisfied and were about to order more, but the waiter smiled and said that because so many people ordered this dish, they could only serve one plate a day. Although they were not satisfied, they had no choice but to give up.

This idea was naturally Lin Feng's idea. As the saying goes, abundance makes things cheap. Although the kebabs are really simple to make, she wouldn't oversell them. Instead, she would raise the price by selling them in limited quantities, making people spend several times the price and still be happy that they got to eat something special.

The meal was novel and enjoyable for everyone. There were three swings around, and Bei Chentian and Lin Feng awkwardly squeezed onto one. Nangong Chuixue reluctantly sat with Ouyang Xiao, while Bei Chenxiang ate alone, enjoying his meal in peace. Seeing the noise and crowd around him, Lin Feng also became playful, gesturing and asking the others to join in a drinking game, experiencing the fun of this traditional folk game.

Bei Chentian was the first to raise both hands in agreement, which was unexpected. What could anyone else say if he'd already agreed? However, when the drinking got lively, the games were quite enjoyable. No wonder people liked to play drinking games; it was definitely more fun than just drinking aimlessly. But no one could withstand this kind of forced drinking. Before long, they all felt as if their faces were covered in hot oil, burning intensely. Reason told them that any more would lead to drunkenness.

These days, Lin Feng and Bei Chentian had become quite familiar with each other. Now, fueled by alcohol, he thought about what had just happened and was annoyed by Bei Chentian's suspicious nature. Seeing him holding a cup and drinking, with an exceptionally handsome profile that was outrageously attractive, Lin Feng had a wicked idea. He chuckled and swayed the swing, causing Bei Chentian to choke on a mouthful of alcohol in a very embarrassing manner.

Lin Feng feigned concern and reminded her, "Don't let your mind wander while you're eating, or you might not be able to eat anything."

Bei Chentian shook his head and smiled, knowing the reason for her annoyance. He didn't retaliate, but then he thought about it and found it unbelievable. Who in the world, besides this woman, would dare to be so disrespectful? When did his temper become so good?

He hadn't calculated it clearly, but he felt he'd been too lenient with someone. However, upon reflection, he realized she still had leverage over him, and her smugness seemed justified. He could only shake his head repeatedly. It wasn't necessarily that he was inherently suspicious; it was just that he'd gone too far in the world of intrigue, and he always thought things through and investigated.

Just like before, he might not actually have wanted to doubt Lin Feng, but what she had shown these past few days told him that she was extraordinary. And the owner of this shop was also extraordinary. The two coincidences combined naturally formed a bridge, making it easy to connect them, so he tested her without thinking.

However, the object of his attention was Lin Feng, an unfathomable woman. He couldn't truly uncover anything about her, regardless of whether she had some kind of relationship with the shop owner, whether it was true or false, he couldn't discern any of this from Lin Feng.

Such an amazing woman—he had never met one like her before! A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips as he drank another cup. It seemed only natural that he would treat her differently because of her special status.

However, while Bei Chentian thought this way, Bei Chenxiang thought it was not the case at all.

Although Ouyang Xiao and Nangong Chuixue were surprised by Lin Feng's audacity in defying the powerful, they didn't pay much attention because His Highness seemed to have always been very indulgent towards this woman. Bei Chenxiang, however, was witnessing Bei Chentian's "tolerance" for the first time, and the doubts and surprise in his heart were simply indescribable.

When did my elder brother learn to indulge people? And what's more, to indulge a man?

Looking at Lin Feng again, her gaze held a hint of speculation, contemplation, and inquiry.

Lin Feng sensed something was wrong. This small action had brought about all sorts of doubts. Sure enough, being with smart people was troublesome, especially so many smart people. It was really troublesome. The room quieted down. The five people were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and the joy they had shown while playing the drinking game was completely gone. They seemed somewhat listless.

Just then, something happened in the hall and a commotion broke out. Bei Chentian looked up and glanced in that direction, signaling Nangong Chuixue and Ouyang Xiao to go and take a look. He also looked in that direction, but unfortunately, there were too many people blocking his view.

But then someone shouted, "What do you mean there's nothing left? The other tables are still serving it! I'm not leaving until I get my food! Does the manager not want to do business anymore? I'll pay whatever it takes! Hurry up and get it brought to me!"

Ouyang Xiao glanced around and returned, whispering, "Heavens, there's a customer causing trouble over there, apparently over ordering food."

Bei Chentian nodded. It was probably all for that plate of barbecue. Pu Street was a big place with lots of people, and plenty of scoundrels too. He really wanted to see how that person would cause trouble.

Seeing that Bei Chentian ignored the matter, Lin Feng also watched with amusement. Although Ouyang Xiao and the other two were still not quite clear about the situation, they didn't ask any questions and returned to their seats. Working alongside Bei Chentian, they knew what they were supposed to do and what they shouldn't know.

Bei Chentian sighed, "Since the owner of this shop made this rule, he must have thought that customers would find an excuse to cause trouble, and he must have a countermeasure. It's not so easy to deal with. It's a pity that this little matter won't alarm the owner, otherwise we could have seen the true face of this extraordinary person."

Lin Feng, however, was thinking that she had completely handed over her shop to Hu Yan, and she would soon be taking them to Chechi. If they weren't capable enough to handle even this small matter, then she wouldn't need to waste her time training them. With this in mind, she slowly crossed her legs, watching with increasing interest.

Suddenly, a cold shout came from inside the room: "Is this your home? You think you can do whatever you want here? Get out of here right now!"

The troublemaking young master of the wealthy family suddenly flew out of the door! He tumbled several times outside the door, yelling loudly, "You little brat, I'll tear this shop down one of your days!"

A handsome and aloof young man in black emerged from the inner room. His aura was even more icy than Lin Feng's. He appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, but his appearance made many women's hearts pound. They wondered to themselves, "Could this be the owner of this shop?" Although his clothes were not fancy, they were made of the finest fabrics, which explained the others' suspicions.

Lin Feng was also shocked. He thought to himself, "Goodness gracious! I didn't take a good look at those kids before, who all had their heads down. But this time, they really look quite presentable. They'll probably be a troublemaker in the future, and they'll be able to rival Bei Chentian's irresistible good looks."

This young man was one of the three people she had instructed Qin Zheng to teach that day, and he was also the one with the highest martial arts skills among them, Zhan Chenxiao.
