Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1371: Leave Room for Retreat—You Never Know When You’ll Meet Again

”Hehe, Old Wang, we’re all just trying to get by here in the Beiming Family. No need to be so serious, right?” Lin Zifeng grinned cheekily at him.

”Kid, don’t say I didn’t warn you first. If you’re entering the Beiming Family with ulterior motives, let me tell you, you’ll pay a blood price!”

”Old Wang, a little lesson is enough. If you don’t let go of your grip, I can’t promise I won’t do something impulsive in a minute.” Seeing him grab his collar with no intent to let go, Lin Zifeng’s face darkened.

”Kid, are you trying to scare me? Since the family head dumped you here, isn’t it to make me discipline you properly? What, you’re not happy with this? Thinking of making a move on me, are you?” Old Wang sneered, looking fierce.

Lin Zifeng shook his head with a bitter smile and leaned closer to Old Wang, sneering: ”Old Wang, leave some room for maneuver, so we can meet again amicably. Don’t push me to the edge. If I decide to do something to you, with your current cultivation, you probably can’t stop me, right?”

”You’re threatening me!”

Old Wang glared at him, gritting his teeth.

”This isn’t a threat; it’s just a warning. Of course, if you take this as a threat, there’s nothing I can do.” With that, Lin Zifeng shrugged casually, pushing away Old Wang’s body with utter arrogance!

”You...”

Old Wang had been in the Beiming Family for some years now, in charge of the Qishi Mansion. He had never encountered someone as brazen as this rascal in front of him.

Completely disregarding him.

”Wang, we’re all like temporary workers here, just passing time. Don’t think just because they give you a couple of chicken feathers, you can wield them like a command arrow? Once time passes and you’re old and useless, they’ll kick you out, and by then, you’ll have offended many people. You’ll have to bear all the burdens alone.”

Lin Zifeng patted his shoulder, posing as a great sage.

”Get lost!”

But, those words were all in vain.

Old Wang glared furiously, pointing his finger right at Lin Zifeng’s nose, shouting, ”Kid! I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t understand the Beiming family’s authority!”

”Stop!”

Just as Old Wang was about to make a move, a crisp girl’s voice suddenly came from outside the Qishi Mansion.

Lin Zifeng’s ears perked up and he immediately recognized it as Beiming Lan’s voice. He quickly clutched his chest, putting on a pitiful face, shamelessly wailing.

”He’s hitting me! He’s killing me! Old Wang is openly hitting people. Is this how he treats every newcomer?”

To fully embody his pitiful appearance, he even rolled his eyes and pretended to faint right in front of Old Wang.

What made Old Wang want to strangle him most was that he fainted right on Old Wang...

”Get off me!”

Old Wang, in anger, slapped Lin Zifeng in the face.

Lin Zifeng, quick-witted, made a hand seal, swiftly struck towards Old Wang’s armpit, then clapped his hands loudly like he got slapped. It hurt so much that Old Wang’s eyes started to water.

The shameless fellow then covered his face and pointed at Old Wang accusing him of hitting him.

”You...”

”Help! The little servant is about to get beaten till he soils himself. Help!”

”Old Wang, you’ve gone too far!”

Beiming Lan stepped in, first seeing Lin Zifeng with a pitiful look on his face, seemingly wronged beyond measure.

Old Wang pointed at his face, yet still acted aggressively.

”Second Miss...”

”Old Wang, Beiming Yu entrusted the Qishi Mansion to you, is this how you treat every newcomer? Do you pressure each one to establish authority because they’re not obedient enough at first?”

Beiming Lan’s face was not pleasant to behold, especially seeing Lin Zifeng’s wretched state, she was even more displeased.

After all, Lin Zifeng was her servant. How could she tolerate her servant being beaten?

”Second Miss, it’s not what you think!”

Old Wang desperately wanted to explain, but Beiming Lan believed only what she saw.

”Hehe, Old Wang, I told you, and you didn’t listen. Now you have to let me mess with you twice, huh.” Lin Zifeng stood aside, secretly delighted, glancing at Old Wang and then at Beiming Lan.

Quickly changing his expression, he ran to Beiming Lan with a tearful face: ”Alan, what kind of people do you keep in your house? I haven’t been here long, and they treat me so unfairly. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I probably wouldn’t be alive now.”

The fellow complained while running to Beiming Lan, resting his head on her shoulder. This scene almost made Old Wang collapse with anger...

”...”

Beiming Lan was speechless with a line of frustration across her forehead. This guy was too cowardly, getting like this after being taught a lesson twice by Old Wang. How would he protect her safety in the future?

If she encounters a life-threatening situation in the future, would he end up being scared like this too?

”Old Wang, I thought giving you Qishi Mansion was for you to be responsible wholeheartedly, but I didn’t expect you to use pressure on newcomers to consolidate your position! You’ve really disappointed me!”

”Second Miss, it’s really not what you think it is. It’s him! This kid wanted to leave the Qishi Mansion, so I stopped him. I didn’t expect him to threaten me and say we’re all temporary workers here, not responsible for the Beiming Family. So when he slandered our Beiming Family, I tried to teach him a lesson, but I didn’t expect him to trap me!”

”Enough. I’ll pretend I didn’t see or hear anything about this. I hope nothing like this happens in our Beiming Family again. I’m sure Beiming Yu wouldn’t want this either.”

”Yes, yes, yes...”

Mentioning Beiming Yu made Old Wang’s face even paler.

He was someone who understood the situation. With Beiming Lan supporting Lin Zifeng like this, even if he had legitimate grounds now, he wouldn’t gain anything.

”Kid, do you really think I can’t see through your little tricks? Don’t let me catch you in the act, or I’ll make it so you won’t even have the mood to cry.”

Before leaving, Old Wang glared at Lin Zifeng with hate. But Lin Zifeng acted like he didn’t see anything.

”Hey, hey, hey. Big man, don’t act like a girl, okay? Is that how you do things? If I face danger next time, will you just be scared like this too?”

Beiming Lan rolled her eyes. Never had she seen such a cowardly man.
