Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 427: Chapter 440: Young Master Wenqin

Chu Linfeng heard the sound behind him and immediately felt baffled. He had no interactions with him, so why was he calling out to him? Could it be that he had seen through something?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still stopped. Chu Linfeng had always believed that if people did not offend him, he would not offend them. If someone dared to disrespect him, even a master of the Ninth Layer of Divine Martial Realm would be killed without hesitation, regardless of their status.

Chu Linfeng turned around to look at Young Master Wenqin and said, ”I don’t know why you are calling me. If this is about the Wang Family Manor’s affairs, I’m afraid I cannot assist you.”

”You misunderstand. I thought you seemed extraordinary and wanted to make your acquaintance. If I’m not mistaken, you possess at least the strength of the Fifth Level of Divine Martial Realm. I was born with a passion for making friends, especially with outstanding young talents. I hope you won’t refuse me!” Young Master Wenqin confidently responded to Chu Linfeng.

If he refused, it would be seen as disdain for Young Master Wenqin. Even a fool could foresee the consequences; failing to become friends naturally meant becoming enemies.

A Fifth Level of Divine Martial Realm fighting against the Ninth Layer is like eggs hitting stones, but Chu Linfeng was an exception. He had the full capability to kill a Ninth Layer master.

”Young Master Wenqin, you’re too kind. If it’s to become friends with the young master, of course, it’s my wish. But it seems you are busy with urgent matters at the moment and cannot leave, right?” Chu Linfeng did not directly agree as he wasn’t one to flatter someone just because they possessed strong abilities. He had his own principles.

”No problem, though this matter is urgent, I still need to gather some clues. My intuition tells me you can help me solve this incident, so I hope you will stay and assist me.” Young Master Wenqin smiled.

Those around looked at Chu Linfeng with eyes full of envy and jealousy. That this young man could be favored by Young Master Wenqin was indeed a stroke of luck, such a good fortune couldn’t be found even if you were searching with a lantern.

After a moment of consideration, Chu Linfeng thought it might be rather beneficial to stay by this young man’s side, as he was unfamiliar with the Canglan Ancient Land and might obtain some useful information from him.

Having made his decision, Chu Linfeng smiled and said, ”Since Young Master Wenqin values me so highly, I am, of course, willing to stay. To be able to serve Young Master Wenqin is indeed my great honor!”

Although Chu Linfeng wouldn’t flatter, he could still say a few words to play along when needed. Sometimes, concealing one’s true abilities can yield better results.

If he really dared to harbor any malicious intent, perhaps the Fire Dragon Sword would claim another soul.

Upon hearing Chu Linfeng’s response, Young Master Wenqin showed a face of joy and glanced a few times at Chu Linfeng, thinking to himself, ”It seems my reputation as Young Master Wenqin is still quite prominent, showing a trend of becoming the top among the Four Young Masters!”

He then said to Chu Linfeng, ”Come, accompany me to Huangyang City. I need your help with something. We can return to handle this matter later.”

Chu Linfeng didn’t know what Young Master Wenqin had in mind, but he did know Huangyang City, which was less than two thousand miles from here—a large city comparable in area to the imperial city of the Celestial Dragon Country.

Chu Linfeng didn’t say much, and as Young Master Wenqin soared into the sky, he followed, leaving smoothly under the puzzled gazes of the crowd.

Everyone actually understood very well that once Young Master Wenqin left, the bloody incident at Wang Family Manor would no longer be paid any mind. His previous words were merely a formality. How could the Four Great Young Masters possibly concern themselves with such trivialities? Sometimes, when provoked, they would slaughter not just 300 people.

Young Master Wenqin flew rapidly, deliberately showing off his power before Chu Linfeng, hoping to make him submit, which would make the forthcoming tasks much easier.

Chu Linfeng naturally noticed his intentions. He adjusted his speed to be just slightly slower than Young Master Wenqin’s, ensuring no matter how he changed his pace, it would have no impact on him.

Chu Linfeng’s current flying speed left even the Fox King of the Saint Martial Realm in the dust, let alone Young Master Wenqin. Adding the speed boost from the Golden Demon Vulture would make him even faster. Across the entire Canglan Ancient Land, there weren’t many who could outpace him.

Initially, Young Master Wenqin felt smug, thinking he could quickly leave the young man behind and show him how fast he truly was. However, he soon realized that the young man was consistently keeping pace with him.

No matter how much he increased his speed, it was the same. Even slowing his pace made no difference, which startled him. He was well aware of his speed—among the youths in Canglan Ancient Land, besides Young Master Feiyu from the Carefree Palace, there should be no second person faster than him. Yet, the young man was able to maintain the same speed, which was incredibly puzzling.

With a sense of competitiveness, he fully activated the Star Power within him, further increasing his speed and quickly leaving Chu Linfeng far behind.

”I thought I couldn’t shake you off; seems I was overthinking,” he thought to himself.

Yet when he looked back again, Chu Linfeng and his distance had reset back to the original position, a revelation that truly made him aware that this young man was no ordinary individual. Someone with such speed surely had a significant background.

Hence, he gradually stopped in mid-air, waiting for Chu Linfeng to arrive. Chu Linfeng, naturally understanding his doubt but feigning ignorance, asked, ”Why did Young Master Wenqin stop? Is there something wrong?”

Young Master Wenqin looked at this composed, unfazed young man and said, ”Your speed is remarkable. I seem to have underestimated you. From which sect are you? I don’t recognize you.”

”My speed is only average; Young Master Wenqin sees me too highly. My sect is quite small, insignificant really, no point in mentioning it,” Chu Linfeng replied with a smile, keeping in mind that whether this person was friend or foe was uncertain, so he had no intention of divulging his origins.

”It seems you don’t trust me much. Rest assured, I mean no harm. I genuinely wish to make you a friend. Seeing you gives me an innate feeling to connect, hence my approach.” Young Master Wenqin smiled.

”You’ve misunderstood. To become friends with Young Master Wenqin, one of the Four Great Young Masters, is indeed an honor for me. What do you need my help with, Young Master Wenqin?” Chu Linfeng inquired straightforwardly.

”We’ll talk when we reach Huangyang City. It’s definitely not a harmful matter. Your speed is impressive, let’s have a match. How about the loser agrees to one condition set by the winner?” Young Master Wenqin suggested with a smile.

”I fear that I’m not your match, and if I lose, doing something inappropriate would be troublesome. I’m one who acts with integrity,” Chu Linfeng intentionally responded, feeling the need to challenge the pride of this high-spirited young master.

Young Master Wenqin’s face flashed briefly with displeasure at the remark but quickly vanished, though Chu Linfeng clearly noticed it.

”I won’t make you do anything wrong. The Four Great Young Masters are known for their uprightness. I wouldn’t ruin our reputation. Do you dare to wager once?” Young Master Wenqin asked...
