After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 326 - Discussing the Great Dao While Sleeping Side by Side
Chapter 326: Discussing the Great Dao While Sleeping Side by Side
The murmurs of the crowd reached Lin Feng’s ears.
He couldn’t believe it!
He, the Son of Destiny... is accused of having such inclinations?
And that he became a true disciple only by taking the back door?
Who was spreading rumors about him?!
Lin Feng naturally did not want to accept such a stigma.
He immediately looked around while glaring at everyone.
After arriving at the pill conference, he first saw the severely injured Yu Shi and therefore did not notice...
Madmen! All madmen!
Not only had the madmen from the Jiuyan Sect arrived, but even Shi Ning and many elders of the Ancient Pill Tower were looking at him with eyes full of hostility, as if they wanted to devour him alive!
“Gulp...”
Lin Feng swallowed hard.
Well-versed in the Way of Laying Low, he immediately realized that he couldn’t stay here for long.
With Old Man Tianji still in slumber, he wouldn’t be able to withstand them if all these madmen went berserk.
“Junior Brother, be good, it’s okay,” Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up.
“I, your Eldest Senior Brother, guarantee with my reputation that you will be absolutely safe!”
You have no reputation to speak of! Lin Feng immediately retorted in his mind.
He didn’t believe a word Jiang Chen said.
But just as Lin Feng was about to disregard the pill conference and escape using Blood Burning...
He saw Yu Shi looking at him with a face full of satisfaction.
At this moment, Yu Shi, although swaying and seriously injured and trying hard to keep a distance from Lin Feng, had an unmistakable look of expectation and pride in his eyes.
For a moment, Lin Feng hesitated.
He knew that Yu Shi had treated him well, and this conference was the stage Yu Shi had prepared for him.
If he fled now, wouldn’t he be letting down Yu Shi’s painstaking efforts?
Moreover, isn’t there an elder from the Imperial Pavilion present?
Although the madmen are crazy, they probably wouldn’t dare to act recklessly at such a grand event under the watchful eye of the Imperial Pavilion, right?
The fact that these lunatics are just watching him and haven’t taken any actual action is the best proof!
With this thought, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
He knew this went against the Way of Laying Low, but to not let down his master’s expectations, he had to bite the bullet and attend!
Of course, before attending, he still needed to establish a good relationship with the people from the Imperial Pavilion to seek their protection!
With this in mind, Lin Feng calmly greeted Elder Zheng with a bow: “First true disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower pay respect to the Elder.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Zheng sized up Lin Feng.
This was his first encounter with Lin Feng, and although he inwardly disdained Lin Feng’s character, he found his favorable impression of him inexplicably growing.
Originally, Elder Zheng didn’t want to bother with Lin Feng, as conversing too much with such a person could lead others to question his own character.
But then he thought... there might be more to this!
Perhaps Lin Feng, like Dong Yao, was coerced by that pervert Yu Shi?
If he could rescue Lin Feng from a dire situation, perhaps it could lead to a good relationship!
“You are Lin Feng?” Elder Zheng asked with half-closed eyes and an indifferent tone.
“Yes,” Lin Feng nodded.
“There are rumors that you have a hundred- zhang golden dragon of fortune and are the Son of Destiny?” Elder Zheng asked again.
Lin Feng nodded once more.
His status as the Son of Destiny was already well-known and there was no need to hide it.
“Tell me, since joining the Ancient Pill Tower, have you ever encountered something...”
Elder Zheng paused before adding discreetly, “Something that ordinary people cannot endure?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers began to murmur.
Soon, the way people looked at Lin Feng changed from disdain to pity.
Clearly, like Elder Zheng, the onlookers subconsciously believed that Lin Feng had suffered at the hands of Yu Shi!
After all, this Son of Destiny did seem very affable.
“If so, speak freely, and I, as an elder, will stand up for you!” Elder Zheng added.
It seems the elder has a good impression of me! Lin Feng thought to himself with joy.
This was their first meeting, and the elder was already prepared to defend him!
This could be another opportunity!
Lin Feng felt that he must answer this question carefully: “Elder, I am currently well in the Ancient Pill Tower and have not been subjected to any harsh treatment.”
Indeed, he was well.

Since joining the Ancient Pill Tower, everyone from the Tower Master to the disciples had been extremely caring, and he had not felt the slightest discomfort.
Although at this moment, elders like Shi Ning showed signs of madness, they ultimately hadn’t done anything to him, so naturally, he couldn’t complain in advance.
Lin Feng thought his answer was perfect.
It made him appear neither ‘arrogant due to favoritism’ nor did it close off future possibilities by using the word ‘currently’.
“Whoosh—”
But who knew that the crowd was in an uproar as soon as his answer fell!
Even Elder Zheng’s look at Lin Feng changed.
It turned to disdain once again!
After all, being well meant... unlike Dong Yao, was all of this Lin Feng’s own volition?
“Ptooey!”
Spitting sounds could be heard from the onlooker seats.
This left Lin Feng completely dumbfounded.
He felt that this was completely different from what he had expected!
Thinking that he hadn’t made himself clear, Elder Zheng asked seriously, “I was referring to your master, Yu Shi! How has Yu Shi treated you? Has he ever... ‘abused’ you?”
“No!” Lin Feng replied instantly.
“My master treats me very well. My master and I often discuss the great Dao while sleeping side by side!”
“...”
Elder Zheng was speechless.
After a brief silence, the onlooker seats were filled with hisses.
Yu Shi was both touched and helpless, only able to shake his head and sigh.
Alright, with this ‘sleeping side by side’, it was truly a case of being unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River...
Lin Feng was still confused and completely unable to understand the situation.
Suddenly, remembering someone had called him ‘a man with such inclination’, he suddenly realized something!
“Elder, the actual situation is...” Lin Feng panicked, trying to explain.
“Shut up!” Elder Zheng shouted sternly.
“Do not speak such filthy words again. You’re polluting the ears of everyone present! We have no interest in the specifics of your and Yu Shi’s posture!”
“What I meant to say is...”
“If you dare speak further, you will be subjected to the Five Extinctions!”
“...” Lin Feng was left speechless.
How could things get even worse?
This was something he would rather die than be misunderstood about, so he had to steel himself to speak again.
Yu Shi, however, sighed and said, “Disciple, take your seat and meditate. We will discuss this after the Alchemy Conference.”
Lin Feng thought that made sense.
No matter what he said now, it was easy for others to misunderstand.
Instead of wasting words now and making things worse, it would be better to wait until he displayed his exceptional talent in the Way of the Pill, won first place in the Alchemy Conference, and shocked everyone.
Then, with various auras surrounding him, the words he spoke would be more convincing.
“Understood, master.”
After bowing to Yu Shi, Lin Feng prepared to take his seat.
But he was in a dilemma for a moment.
As the first true disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower, he should be seated in front of the other pill refiner masters, attracting attention.
But Lin Feng was very clear that with Jiang Chen’s temperament, he would surely be slapped several times if he dared to stand in front of Jiang Chen!
Then, unable to fight back or escape, the face of the Ancient Pill Tower’s first true disciple would be utterly lost!
Just as Lin Feng was looking for another place to sit, he suddenly noticed a pill refiner master not far away smiling kindly at him while shifting to the side, making room.
Lin Feng remembered this person.
It was Dong Yao, the true disciple of Lingyao Mountain, whom Yu Shi often mentioned and whom he had seen many times.
He’s a real ally!
“Hehe.”
After a light chuckle, Lin Feng sat down next to Dong Yao.
He patted Dong Yao’s shoulder and whispered, “Brother Dong, long time no see!”
Upon hearing this, Dong Yao first narrowed his eyes, then with a shocked face, jumped up and shouted:
“What?! You want me to come to your room tonight?!”
“????”
Lin Feng’s face was full of question marks.
