Xiao Xiao nodded at this moment: "That’s right, after the announcement of the third-rank disciple, many people came to build relationships with Mu Mu!"
Ling Feng responded with an "Oh" and smiled, asking, "Then what happened?"
"Then I chased them all away, I’m busy and don’t have time to make friends with them!" Mu Mu said.
Ling Feng laughed upon hearing this and shook his head helplessly: "These people are overthinking it!"
Mu Mu pouted, "Exactly!"
Just as they were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Excuse me, is Junior Brother Ling at home?"
Upon hearing the voice, Ling Feng knew that it was Mo Yan.
So he immediately sent Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu to the back while he went to the door alone and opened it.
Seeing Ling Feng, Mo Yan smiled faintly: "Junior Brother, congratulations!"
"Senior Brother, you’re too kind."
Ling Feng smiled and then said, "Please come in!"
Mo Yan nodded, stepped into the courtyard, and then the two sat down at the table.
Immediately after, Mo Yan spoke: "I came today firstly to congratulate you on having a third-rank disciple in your family, and secondly..."
He paused for a moment before continuing: "Secondly, I wanted to remind you, you’ve killed seven black assassins, and things are only going to get worse, so you must be very careful!"
"I understand this!"
Ling Feng nodded and continued: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother, but I also trust Lingjian Mountain will not stand by and let the people from the Dark Domain attack me without taking action."
"Naturally!"
Mo Yan nodded: "The Elder has already ordered several fourth-grade disciples to come over and ensure the safety of your residence."
"There’s such a thing?"
Ling Feng was immediately taken aback.
"Yes, the Elder is astonished by the attacks from the Dark Domain. Two consecutive attacks have angered him, so he decided that if any more people from the Dark Domain come, Lingjian Mountain will use all its might to confront them!" Mo Yan said.
"Oh..."
Ling Feng nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Thank the Elder for his concern."
"You are one of us, there’s no need for such formalities!"
Mo Yan smiled and then asked: "By the way, I heard you brought many people from Earth to mine here?"
"Yes!"
Ling Feng nodded: "I bought the land at the foot of the mountain, the rare earth minerals there are very important to me."
"I see."
Mo Yan nodded: "Lingjian Mountain indeed does not have any precedent for prohibiting others from mining, but everyone is quite curious."
Then he looked at Ling Feng: "Those machines of yours are really amazing, they seem to have the ability to move mountains and fill seas!"
"It’s nothing."
Ling Feng smiled: "In my world, some things can indeed move mountains and fill seas, but those are weapons, which are not needed here!"
"Oh..."
Mo Yan’s expression tightened, then he smiled without saying anything.
After a moment of silence, he said again: "I’ve already notified you of the situation, soon there will be fourth-grade disciples coming over to protect the area around your residence."
"Alright, thank you!"
Ling Feng nodded, seeing him stand to leave, he stood up as well.
Mo Yan didn’t say much more and directly left.
Not long after he left, the courtyard door was knocked upon again.
Ling Feng knew it was the person Mo Yan mentioned, so he got up to open the door.
To his surprise, it was Feiyan who came.
Meeting her eyes, Ling Feng froze for a moment and quickly asked: "What, has the God Slayer Saber suddenly finished refining?"
"No."
Feiyan shook her head: "I learned the Elder sent people to protect this side, so I applied to come over."
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was immediately stunned and then smiled wryly: "You’ve gone to so much trouble, but you didn’t need to come over!"
"I’m already here."
Feiyan smirked and said: "I’m in the courtyard next door, which has been requisitioned as a temporary residence for everyone."
"Oh no!"
Ling Feng quickly said: "That’s not appropriate, you’re different from the others, you shouldn’t live with them, why not come and stay in my courtyard, there are plenty of rooms here!"
"That may not be appropriate." Feiyan said.
"What’s inappropriate about it!" Ling Feng smiled and continued: "Everyone at Lingjian Mountain knows our relationship is special, staying here is only normal!"
"Well, alright."
Feiyan pondered for a moment and nodded.
She didn’t really want to live with other fourth-grade disciples, as everyone was unfamiliar.
Here, at least she could be more comfortable.
Thus, Feiyan stayed at Ling Feng’s residence, and after the other fourth-grade disciples arrived, they also came over to greet Ling Feng.
As night fell, Ling Feng chatted in the courtyard with Feiyan, Xiao Xiao, and Mu Mu, talking about the Dark Domain.
At this moment, someone again knocked on the door.
Xiao Xiao went to open it and saw Yun Cheng entering, promptly letting him in.
Ling Feng noticed something off in his expression and asked: "What’s wrong?"
"Brother Ling, there’s something I want to tell you..."
Yun Cheng hesitated when he saw Feiyan there.
Ling Feng noted this and said: "It’s alright, Miss Feiyan is one of us, go ahead."
"Alright."
Yun Cheng nodded and continued: "I just received a message, someone while gathering herbs on the back mountain inadvertently saw Senior Brother Mo Yan talking with a man in black in a hidden ravine. After they finished, the man in black directly disappeared!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, looking at him and asking: "Where did the message come from?"
"It’s from a friend, someone I’ve known since childhood, also a fifth-rank disciple, he wouldn’t lie to me!" Yun Cheng said.
"Oh, Senior Brother Mo Yan, talking with a man in black, in a hidden spot on the back mountain?"
Ling Feng mulled it over and glanced at Feiyan: "Do you sense anything?"
"This..."
Feiyan hesitated and shook her head slightly.
And Yun Cheng quickly said: "Brother Ling, you shouldn’t be asking Sister Feiyan, everyone at Lingjian Mountain knows Senior Brother Mo Yan once pursued her!"
"Ah, there’s this matter too?"
Ling Feng’s eyes widened.
Feiyan blushed and hurriedly said: "I, I didn’t accept him!"
"Oh."
Ling Feng chuckled, seeing her sudden flustered demeanor, he found it quite amusing.
At this moment, Yun Cheng continued: "Brother Ling, that man in black might very well be a black assassin!"
"You know about this too?"
Ling Feng wasn’t too surprised but asked with a smile.
"There’s been much talk in the town, everyone is saying something about black assassins from alternate dimensions." Yun Cheng said.
"Hmm, such matters spread quickly."
Ling Feng nodded, then laughed: "Alright, I know about this, you can go busy yourself now!"
"Ah?"
Yun Cheng was stunned: "Brother Ling, why aren’t you nervous at all?"
