Chapter 623: Ling Feng's Second Maid!
"What?"
Ouyang Jing nearly jumped. "Big Brother, what did you just say? I must have misheard you."
Ling Feng shook his head and repeated slowly, "I said, I am the sect leader of Divine Ling Sect. Think about it. Doesn't the 'Ling' in Divine Ling Sect sound a bit like the 'Ling' in Ling Feng?"
Ouyang Jing's mouth twitched, and his jaw dropped in disbelief as he stared at Ling Feng. "But... I heard that the sect leader of the Divine Ling Sect is a woman. Every time, it's a green-robed young lady who comes out to suppress the other sects."
"Ah." Ling Feng rubbed his nose and said calmly, "You're probably talking about Miss Xian'er."
"Miss Lin?" Ouyang Jing blinked, and then slapped his thigh. "Of course! Why didn't I think of that?"
Ouyang Jing looked at Ling Feng with eyes full of admiration. "Big Brother, you're really something as a sect leader. You've managed to delegate everything! Unlike me, who has to personally manage every little thing at the Treasure Pavilion. I barely have time to cultivate!"
Ling Feng patted Ouyang Jing's belly and chuckled, "Ouyang, if you keep gaining weight like this, you might lose your little Zhou Yun."
"Hehe," Ouyang Jing scratched the back of his head awkwardly, grinning mischievously. "Don't worry, I've already taken first blood!"
After saying this, Ouyang Jing glanced around and whispered, "Big Brother, you can't let Zhou Kai find out about this, or I might not survive."
"..." Ling Feng was speechless.
Ling Feng, being somewhat emotionally clueless and pure, would normally not understand what first blood meant. However, as a physician, it was hard not to know.
"Hmph, Ouyang Jing, too bad, but I already know!"
At that moment, the door to the hall burst open, and a towering figure, nearly two meters tall, walked in. Who else could it be but Zhou Kai?
Zhou Kai's eyes were wide with anger as he waved his fists and charged at Ouyang Jing, shouting, "You brat! You've got guts! Let me teach you a lesson!"
Of course, Zhou Kai was only scolding him. He knew his sister was head over heels for Ouyang Jing, so he didn't dare actually hurt him.
Yes, that's what I'll do!
Ling Feng thought to himself somewhat viciously.
...
Two days later, Lin Xian'er returned from Wenxian Sect, accompanied by another pretty young woman, Su Hongxiu!
When Lin Xian'er brought Su Hongxiu to Ling Feng's residence at Tianxuan Courtyard, Ling Feng was almost startled out of his wits.
Su Hongxiu, pouting angrily, came to confront Ling Feng. She demanded to know why he had promised to bring her to Tianwei Academy if she could refine a third-tier medicinal pill, only to sneak away irresponsibly without her!
Ling Feng could only smile apologetically and, in the end, arranged for Su Hongxiu to stay as well, making her the second maid of his Tianxuan Courtyard.
Given Su Hongxiu's martial arts skills, she likely wouldn't have passed the entrance assessment for the academy. However, Ling Feng had his own plans. Su Hongxiu's talent in alchemy was quite promising, and with some nurturing, she could be sent to the Alchemist Guild for further study. That would be a better path for her.
Until then, she would have to settle for being his maid temporarily. Besides, as a maid, Tuoba Yan still wasn't fully qualified. On the other hand, Su Hongxiu was a top-notch chef, so at least his stomach wouldn't suffer.
After settling Su Hongxiu in, Ling Feng finally found some time to ask Lin Xian'er, "So, has my master returned?"
"Not yet," Lin Xian'er replied, her expression a mix of slight disappointment and relief. Perhaps she herself wasn't sure if she was ready to face her biological father.
"Thank you for handling everything with Divine Ling Sect," Ling Feng said gratefully. He knew he could never fully devote himself to managing the sect. In truth, being the sect leader was something Duanmu Qingshan had forced upon him. It wasn't his true calling.
"There's no need to thank me. I didn't do much," Lin Xian'er bit her lip, her gaze drifting towards Tuoba Yan. Trying to sound casual, she asked, "By the way, is Yan'er really just a maid? She's... She's far from ordinary."
Even as a woman, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but feel envious of Tuoba Yan's almost flawless beauty.
"For certain reasons, she has to stay by my side as a maid for now. But soon, she'll return to where she truly belongs," Ling Feng replied, rubbing his nose.
However, deep down, Ling Feng felt that there was a unique connection between him and Tuoba Yan. Ever since half of the Tiance Mirror returned to Tuoba Yan's body, this bond had been established.
