"Good kid, since you’re so brave, I might as well lend you a hand!" Xu Yishan laughed while looking at Lin Feng with interest, "Lin Feng, do you dare to let me be your recommender?"

"Old Xu..." Bai Yuanshan looked at Xu Yishan with a wry smile, "Doing this will make Lin Feng a target for everyone!"

"You don’t have to worry about that, as long as Lin Feng is willing..." Xu Yishan waved toward Bai Yuanshan, smiling.

Lin Feng heard Bai Yuanshan’s words and knew Xu Yishan was deliberately teasing him. It seems that being a recommender holds different significance within the Hong Sect.

"Old Xu, what benefits would I get if you became my recommender?" Lin Feng didn’t say whether he dared or not, but instead asked Xu Yishan.

"Benefits... Of course, there are. Since I’m your recommender, your status would be considerably high... The whole Hong Sect would view you with respect. Isn’t that a benefit?!" Xu Yishan smiled somewhat mischievously.

Bai Yuanshan frowned, watching Xu Yishan trying to swindle Lin Feng. Indeed, if Lin Feng agreed to let Xu Yishan be his recommender, his status would rise signficantly; thousands of brothers in the Hong Sect would have to treat him respectfully. However, this is only on the surface. Behind the scenes, countless people would be dissatisfied with Lin Feng!

It’s worth noting that many brothers in Hong Sect have been loyal members for over ten years. At most, they become minor leaders, without even achieving the rank of branch master. If Lin Feng immediately becomes a branch master and is introduced by the former Sect Leader, how would the others feel?

In the future, Lin Feng would likely face tremendous exclusion.

This is Xu Yishan causing trouble for Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you must think carefully!" Bai Yuanshan, although feeling Xu Yishan is being disruptive, couldn’t stop him due to his own status. So he turned helplessly to Lin Feng, trying to persuade him not to act foolishly.

"Thank you for the kindly advice, Mr. Bai..." Lin Feng clearly understood Bai Yuanshan’s persuasion, so he gratefully thanked him before saying to Xu Yishan, "Since it’s Old Xu’s goodwill, I certainly can’t refuse!"

"Good, good, good... Lin Feng, you sure haven’t let me down! You’ve got real guts!" Xu Yishan laughed heartily, looking at Lin Feng with a face full of praise, "Since you have the courage, I’ll be your recommender! From now on, you’re one of my brothers brought in by me, Xu Yishan!"

Bai Yuanshan glanced at Lin Feng with a complex expression, lost in thought.

Thereafter, Xu Yishan and Bai Yuanshan let Lin Feng offer incense to Second Brother Guan. After the oath, he was formally declared a brother of the Hong Sect.

"The ceremony is somewhat simple, but you are now a brother of the Hong Sect! If you encounter difficulties later, feel free to come to me, don’t be shy!" Xu Yishan laughed warmly, looking at Lin Feng, his cunning old eyes flickering with excitement.

Bai Yuanshan naturally knew what was in Xu Yishan’s mind—the idea of Lin Feng becoming his granddaughter’s husband. He smiled kindly, thinking Xu Yishan’s words were in vain. Even if Lin Feng were thick-skinned, he wouldn’t dare to ask for favors on the first day of joining the Hong Sect!

However, to Bai Yuanshan’s disappointment, Lin Feng actually did make a request...

"Haha, Old Xu, since you called me a brother, I won’t be polite!" Lin Feng said cheerfully to Xu Yishan, "Recently, as the new Martial Hall opens, I want Old Xu to help invite some martial arts masters to boost the event’s popularity..."

"... You really aren’t holding back!" Xu Yishan paused for several seconds before responding to Lin Feng with a peculiar expression, "But since you dared to ask, I can’t refuse directly. Who do you want to invite?"

Lin Feng then told Xu Yishan about his idea to invite some real masters from China’s most prominent hidden world martial arts sects to the gathering, which would also serve as an advertisement for the Martial Hall...

"That’s quite a decent plan, but only you would dare to think this way..." Xu Yishan was once again shocked by Lin Feng’s audacity. The Hong Sect might be the largest group in Jiangzhou, but in all of China, its strength is merely average. The hidden world sects Lin Feng mentioned are among China’s last remaining martial arts sects, and their standards aren’t low! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

If every young martial arts hall owner were as bold as Lin Feng, trying to invite these hidden sect elders to their opening ceremonies, they would have little to do besides frequenting martial arts halls across the country...

"Though your request is quite high, since today is your first day as a member, I’ll agree to it!" Xu Yishan said calmly.

It’s good that you agree; if you didn’t, I’d just quit the sect... Lin Feng thought quietly, smiling as he looked at Xu Yishan.

While the two were happily chatting, suddenly, Xu Jing’s voice came from outside, "Grandpa, I’m back!"

"Haha..." Upon hearing Xu Jing’s voice, Xu Yishan’s eyes immediately glimmered with brilliance. He raised his eyebrows at Lin Feng, clearly suggesting, "Kid, I’ve fulfilled your request, now it’s time to get down to business!"

For Xu Yishan, the real business was only one thing, his granddaughter Xu Jing’s marriage!

When Lin Feng saw Xu Yishan’s eyes full of suggestion, he showed a helpless, wry smile...

He hadn’t expected Xu Jing to come see her grandpa today. It seemed like poor timing for him to visit!

Unexpectedly, Xu Jing originally wasn’t planning to come today, but Xu Yishan had called her after the phone call with him, asking Xu Jing to come...

Xu Yishan’s intention was to facilitate more contact between Lin Feng and Xu Jing. He could see that Xu Jing was interested in Lin Feng, and Xu Yishan liked Lin Feng more every time he saw him, so he naturally didn’t want Xu Jing to miss this opportunity, constantly creating chances for the two young people!

If Lin Feng knew the truth, who knows how he would feel!

"Lin Feng?!" Initially, Xu Jing was quite excited, but upon seeing Lin Feng sitting beside Xu Yishan, her face changed drastically, and she fiercely questioned, "You damn rascal, how dare you come to my house? Who allowed you?!"

Seeing Xu Jing’s annoyed look, Xu Yishan was a bit puzzled, "Little Jing, how did Lin Feng offend you? Tell Grandpa, and I will stand up for you!"

After Xu Jing furiously questioned Lin Feng twice, she suddenly heard Xu Yishan’s question. Her expression became tangled—Lin Feng and Wu Mei teaming up to annoy her seemed unnecessary to mention to her grandpa!
