Zhao Lei squinted his eyes. He was really pissed to the extreme. "Hey you, come here."
Lin Feng didn’t react to that. He closed his eyes and rested his head behind the wall.
Seeing this, Zhao Lei gritted his teeth. His eyes turned dangerously cold. If it wasn’t a safe zone, he would have skinned this bastard alive. "Are you fucking deaf? I said come here..."
Lin Feng, as usual, didn’t pay any attention to the disciple.
Bai Lian shook her head internally. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose. What was giving him so much confidence? Last time, he walked out of the cave giving her a full unguarded view, as if he didn’t care if she attacked or not.
"Heheheh... looks like no one takes you seriously, Zhao Lei. Even a lower-realm cultivator is making fun of you..." Zeng Rong wasn’t going to miss this opportunity to rile up Zhao Lei. He was clever enough to take a jibe along with it.
It would be better for him if Zhao Lei attacked this guy inside the safe zone. This way, he would get rid of Zhao Lei easily. No doubt he would have to wait longer for more cultivators to come, but that was something he was willing to accept for getting rid of his old enemy—not to mention he would get some time alone with Bai Lian.
"YOU..." Zhao Lei trembled with immense anger but still controlled himself to not attack inside the safe zone. The spirit consciousness hadn’t mentioned what would happen to those who broke this rule, so he had to consider the worst possible outcome.
Suddenly, Lin Feng stood up and slowly started walking towards the edge of the clearing.
Bai Lian and Zeng Rong got stunned. He wasn’t thinking of leaving, right?
Zhao Lei watched every step of Lin Feng with an intense gaze. He put spirit qi in his legs and waited for Lin Feng to cross the arc dividing the clearing and the wilderness.
Lin Feng reached the end of the clearing and stretched himself. "Ummmmhhhhh..."
After doing so, he lifted his feet and moved forward.
The moment Lin Feng’s leg was about to land, Zhao Lei moved. He wanted to drag him by the leg which would be outside the safe zone.
Zhao Lei’s pace was too fast. He reached Lin Feng in the blink of an eye, before Lin Feng’s leg could even touch the ground, and when he tried to grab Lin Feng’s leg, it stopped coming down.
Zhao Lei immediately halted his hand from touching the leg. His back turned cold. If he was a little slow in stopping, then wouldn’t it have been considered an attack?
Lin Feng, who was silent till now, finally turned his head downwards and looked at Zhao Lei. "Why are you kneeling in front of me? I have no intention to keep followers around me, so it won’t work..."
Zhao Lei’s eyes widened as he heard that. Listening to that made his blood boil. His posture really looked like he was kneeling in front of this cultivator.
"Hahahahahahahaha... too hilarious!" Zeng Rong laughed out loud, and it made Zhao Lei tremble in anger even more. He bit his tongue to distract himself from tearing apart this guy on the spot.
Bai Lian wanted to laugh out loud but controlled herself, and it was very hard to do so.
Lin Feng smirked inwardly and turned around, placing his feet in the clearing and walking back towards the entrance.
Zhao Lei stood up slowly. It was too humiliating. His stomach churned at the thought of Bai Lian seeing that. He didn’t even know how he would be able to talk to her.
Zhao Lei looked at Lin Feng. He was again sitting at his earlier spot with closed eyes. "Humph! You are dead the moment you decide to leave this safe zone, you bastard."
Lin Feng, as usual, ignored him and kept his eyes closed in rest.
Zhao Lei took a good look at Lin Feng and came back to Zeng Rong and Bai Lian.
Zeng Rong snickered. "You should kneel in front of me. I won’t mind a loyal pet like you... tch tch..."
"You... Humph!" Zhao Lei snorted and decided to ignore Zeng Rong. He stood beside them and closed his eyes.
"Yes yes, close your eyes. It will definitely lessen your embarrassment... hehehehe." Zeng Rong wasn’t going to leave this matter ever. He would make sure that everyone knew about it.
"Someone else is coming." Bai Lian, who was quietly enjoying everything, finally spoke as she saw another cultivator coming towards them.
Zhao Lei opened his eyes and looked towards the newcomer, with Zeng Rong following suit.
They both frowned as this new cultivator wasn’t from any of their sects.
The cultivator landed near them and cupped his fist. "Greetings, fellow friends."
Bai Lian nodded while cupping her fists. Zhao Lei and Zeng Rong also nodded, but none of them cupped their fists. They didn’t think much of cultivators from unknown sects or clans.
In their eyes, they were just a bunch of weaklings whom they didn’t need to entertain.
The cultivator didn’t take it to heart. It was a normal occurrence even in the real world, much less here. He didn’t initiate conversation as he knew that the mood seemed a little off right now.
The cultivator’s eyes went to Lin Feng, and when he sensed his cultivation realm, he was surprised.
Just as he was thinking that, Lin Feng stood up again. Zhao Lei, Zeng Rong, and Bai Lian immediately turned their attention to him again with different reactions.
Bai Lian was dumbfounded as she had a feeling that he was going to do something which would definitely irk Zhao Lei or Zeng Rong, or maybe the new cultivator?
Zhao Lei’s blood, which had calmed till now, began to boil again, while Zeng Rong smiled.
Lin Feng, without care, began to move towards the edge of the safe zone again.
"Tsk!" Looking at that, Zhao Lei clicked his tongue. He wasn’t going to fall for it again.
