Lin Feng wondered why he was being so foolish. Did this really need an explanation? It was utterly unreasonable, this Liu Yanran.
This was what Lin Feng was thinking at the moment.
“Miss Liu, since you can’t let me into the Liu Family Back Mountain, is it fine if I don’t go in? There’s no reason to stop someone from leaving,” Lin Feng said, looking at Liu Yanran, who was blocking his way. Although she was beautiful, he still spoke his mind.
“Ha ha... Lin Feng, aren’t you supposed to be bold? If that’s the case, why not give it a try? Don’t let a small barrier ruin your reputation,” Liu Yanran replied, showing no intention of letting him go and provoking him instead.
Liu Yanran was clearly trying to provoke him, and Lin Feng realized this. For a moment, he began to think more deeply.
At first, he hadn’t thought much about it; his instinct was just to leave. But now, with Liu Yanran’s words, he was reminded of something important.
It was obvious that Liu Yanran, or rather the Liu Family, wanted him to break through this barrier.
However, the barrier they wanted him to break was their own Guardian Barrier of the Liu Family Back Mountain. There was no reason for them to ask someone else to break their own barrier.
“There’s something mysterious about this; it could very well be a trap,” Lin Feng thought to himself.
With this realization, his desire to leave grew stronger. He regretted getting involved in this so-called Jade Exhibition, which seemed like trouble without any clear reason.
Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?
“Ha ha... I’m not someone who is burdened by fame, Miss Liu. Please don’t make things difficult for me; just let me go,” Lin Feng said, feeling increasingly dissatisfied. He had even changed how he addressed her from ‘Yanran’ to ‘Miss Liu’, clearly wanting to distance himself from her and the Liu Family.
Of course, since he had no intention of getting involved in whatever scheme or plot this might be, Lin Feng tried to control his tone. He only wanted to extricate himself from a situation that had nothing to do with him and needed to be careful with his words.
“Ha ha... I didn’t expect the famous Lin Feng would also be afraid of trouble. Fine, you can go. Just consider it that I misjudged you today,” Liu Yanran said with a smirk, clearly mocking him.
“Alright then, I’ll take my leave, Miss Liu.” Since he chose not to act impulsively, he wouldn’t let a few words from Liu Yanran provoke him into rashness as he turned to leave.
"Wait a minute..." Liu Yanran saw that Lin Feng was truly not buying into her approach. She thought to herself that today she would not let Lin Feng leave so easily. The Liu Family had invested a lot of resources and manpower to bring Lin Feng here; how could it be resolved with just one word from him?
"What is it now?" Lin Feng did not expect that although Liu Yanran was a beautiful woman, she could be so persistent. He wanted to leave, yet she was trying to stop him. It was quite perplexing.
"Liu Yanran, if you can break this barrier, I... I can agree to any request you have." Seeing Lin Feng's unwilling expression, Liu Yanran's face changed slightly as she spoke to him. However, this statement was clearly her last resort. After saying it, she turned her head away, not allowing Lin Feng to see her expression.
"Tell me, why do you need me to break this barrier?" Lin Feng believed that the weight of Liu Yanran's words suggested that the situation was not as simple as it seemed. At this moment, he no longer wanted to escape; instead, he solemnly asked Liu Yanran while releasing his Mental Power.
Earlier, Lin Feng had organized what he knew about the situation in his mind. He wasn't a fool; with a little thought, he realized that this matter was complicated. In fact, he could see that the so-called Jade Exhibition and the visit to the Liu Family's Back Mountain were all prearranged. If he hadn't felt like retreating, he would have continued along the path set by the Liu Family without knowing what awaited him. Lin Feng disliked the feeling of everything being under someone else's control.
This feeling was definitely unpleasant. Lin Feng preferred to have everything in his own hands.
Therefore, he suddenly didn't want to leave anymore. After all, there was only Liu Yanran from the Liu Family here; he considered himself skilled enough not to be afraid of her.
Since he wasn't afraid of her, why not clarify things and save himself from guessing?
"Because..." Liu Yanran looked at Lin Feng's suddenly changed gaze and was momentarily startled by his powerful Mental Power release. She forgot what she wanted to say. This feeling was something she had only experienced with her Grandpa, and now she sensed that Lin Feng's aura might even surpass her Grandpa's. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Directly answering Lin Feng seemed impossible; even if she could speak, she felt it would take too long for him to understand. To let Lin Feng know the truth would require him breaking through this barrier and meeting her Grandpa.
Liu Yanran understood that the reason her Grandpa exuded such an aura was not only due to his long-standing position but also because he was an Inner Strength Expert. Could it be that Lin Feng was also an Inner Strength Expert? And perhaps even more powerful than her Grandpa?
For a moment, even Liu Yanran was stunned by her own speculation. Her Grandpa was nearing seventy years old, while Lin Feng appeared to be no more than twenty-five—he might even be younger. How could he possibly be more skilled than her Grandpa?
At that moment, Liu Yanran found herself at a loss for words.
"Why?" Lin Feng realized that his Mental Power had taken effect and that Liu Yanran seemed stunned by it. He quickly pressed on with his questioning. Based on his estimation, this was the best time for Liu Yanran to reveal the truth since she appeared mentally unsettled.
"I can't tell you why; just know that once you break this barrier, you'll find out everything." Liu Yanran proved herself worthy of being the most likely future leader of the Liu Family; her mental composure was exceptional. Despite being shaken by Lin Feng's Mental Power release, she quickly regained her composure and spoke in a normal tone.
Lin Feng was also surprised by Liu Yanran's strong mental resilience. At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to leave anymore; he felt a strong curiosity about what secrets the Liu Family held.
Although curiosity sometimes kills the cat, Lin Feng was confident that he could figure everything out and assured himself that he wouldn't get caught up in it.
Lin Feng's confidence stemmed from his own formidable strength.
"Alright, now I'm curious. You said you would agree to anything I ask, so what if I ask you?" Even though he had decided to give it a try, Lin Feng still asked somewhat vindictively, recalling the scenario of the stunning Liu Yanran from Jade Industry becoming his woman. Lin Feng admitted to himself that he was being a bit wicked.
"If you can open it, I will agree to any condition you propose." At this moment, Liu Yanran seemed to have anticipated that Lin Feng would ask such a question and answered emphatically.
"Really?" Lin Feng pressed on, not willing to let it go.
"Really," Liu Yanran affirmed again with certainty.
Lin Feng had initially intended to take this opportunity for revenge and hadn't really thought about actually doing anything, but he didn't expect Liu Yanran to respond so confidently.
"Alright, I'll give it a try." Having asked the question and received an answer, Lin Feng felt it was inappropriate to leave just yet. He walked back to where he first noticed the barrier.
Through his Mental Power sensing and with Tesla's assistance, he discovered that this so-called "barrier" was actually a formation. However, Tesla regarded this formation as trivial and dismissed it as "not worth mentioning."
"Okay then, how do I break it?" Lin Feng ignored Tesla's disdain and got straight to the point.
"It's simple. Just break the few nodes providing energy to this formation, and it will naturally collapse," Tesla replied casually.
"Nodes, got it. I'll give it a try." After Tesla's guidance, Lin Feng understood where the nodes of the formation were located. Since Tesla made it sound so easy, Lin Feng decided to give it a shot.
However, when Lin Feng approached the node, he realized that it wasn't as simple as he thought.
He discovered that the node was a piece of jade hidden behind the barrier created by the formation. In other words, even if he found the node, he still needed to break through the barrier before he could access it.
Wasn't this just an impossible problem? A never-ending cycle with no solution.
"Tesla, you make it sound easy. The node is within the formation; how am I supposed to break it?" Lin Feng said impatiently, feeling somewhat speechless at Tesla's relaxed demeanor.
"Why are you so stupid? What is that formation eye?" Tesla asked casually, guiding the conversation.
"It's jade," Lin Feng replied.
"Yes, it's jade. Based on your understanding, why can jade be used as a formation eye?" Tesla continued to inquire.
"Because there is Jade Energy in the jade," Lin Feng answered.
"Oh, you mean I should use the magic ring to absorb the energy from the jade? In that case, once the energy source is lost, the formation will naturally collapse." Lin Feng wasn't foolish; guided by Tesla, he quickly figured out how to proceed.
"Now you understand," Tesla said with a hint of arrogance upon seeing that Lin Feng had grasped it. Then he disappeared, knowing that Lin Feng could handle the rest on his own without any further assistance.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt a bit foolish for not realizing such a simple issue sooner. However, he didn't hold it against Tesla; after all, it was Tesla who had informed him how to break the formation, and it wouldn't be right to burn bridges.
In fact, Lin Feng thought that while it wouldn't be unreasonable for Tesla to act in such a way, he also understood that he would need to rely on this alien elder for many more questions in the future, so he chose not to dwell on it.
Now that he knew what to do, things became much easier. Lin Feng walked to each formation eye and used the magic ring to absorb all the Jade Energy from the jade. Before long, the formation was paralyzed, and there were no barriers left in front of him.
"Little wife, let's go!" With the barrier broken, Lin Feng naturally wanted to go inside and take a look. Remembering the promise Liu Yanran had made to him earlier, he felt quite cheerful and joked with Liu Yanran, who looked surprised at his ability to break the formation.
