If when comparing inner strength again, Lin Feng hadn’t awakened the Heavenly Star Beast Spirit within his body, coupled with the Innate Spiritual Seed protecting his meridians and curbing the spread of dark energy, the person dead would certainly be Lin Feng himself.

Since it was Boss Shen who first tried to assassinate Lin Feng, but in the end was countered and died explosively, one cannot blame Lin Feng.

According to the law, it was indeed Boss Shen and his men who plotted to murder Lin Feng.

Therefore, Lin Feng keeping silent at this time is the best choice.

At this moment, Wu Fa stood before Lin Feng with his sword. If those soldiers dared to approach directly, he resolved to defend Lin Feng to the death.

He did not act out of fear that Lin Feng might be harmed, but to defend Lin Feng’s dignity. Lin Feng is the true hero of Peace City. Without Lin Feng, Peace City would not have today’s beautiful life.

The Armored Soldiers were hesitating about whether to report to their superior.

Just then, their superior walked over himself.

As soon as Lin Feng entered Peace City, the camp’s scout post had already spotted Lin Feng’s presence.

And reported this matter to their superior.

This superior was dressed in brocade clothes, an extremely prestigious outfit.

Embroidered with official patterns, it looked quite impressive.

Lin Feng could certainly tell that the person before him was not like the sinister ones such as Boss Shen and Xue Nian. In conclusion, the person before him gave Lin Feng a sense that the Court still has upright and honest people.

The reason for the prestigious clothing was that it was necessary for his position, the facade of the Court.

Lin Feng guessed right, as the newcomer immediately scolded the Armored Soldiers.

"What is wrong with you? Can’t you see this is General Lin, who guarded Peace City for over twenty years? How can you be so rude? Quickly apologize to General Lin."

Upon hearing the superior’s words, the Armored Soldiers looked bewildered.

They quickly bowed their heads and saluted Lin Feng: "My apologies, please forgive me, General."

Although their words might not match their feelings, at least the attitude was humble.

Lin Feng was not someone who clings to every little inch, preferring to gain an advantage and then withdraw.

Thus, he calmly returned the salute to the Armored Soldiers and then saluted the superior who helped him out.

With a joyful expression, he said to the superior: "I am no longer considered a general, please call me Lin Feng, and forgive my boldness for not knowing your esteemed name."

The brocade-dressed official returned the gesture, smiling as he spoke to Lin Feng: "I am Yu Wentai, an Imperial Censor in the Court, long have I admired your esteemed name, Brother Lin."

"You flatter me, I am just a martial artist, where does one find such esteemed names?"

"Oh, Brother Lin is truly modest. On those days when the Ao Family’s army attacked our border, if it hadn’t been for your brave resistance to annihilate them in the Desert, how would we have Taiping and tranquility?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Lin Feng merely fulfilled his duty, it was the merit of all the soldiers."

"Brother Lin, you jest. Since it’s fate we meet, how about we head to my tent to chat?"

Lin Feng could not decline, considering Peace City was now in the hands of others, and no matter how high Lin Feng’s cultivation, he wouldn’t use the lives of the whole city’s populace as leverage.

Lin Feng never liked slaughter; he only resorted to it when absolutely necessary against enemies, never against comrades in the Human Realm.

Regarding city defense and authority, as long as you manage it well, why not hand it over. As long as the people can live in peace, Lin Feng is willing to let you govern.

Because Lin Feng has never been one to vie for power and profit.

He views everything with detachment, unaffected by fame and fortune, standing firmly for the Righteous Path and the sake of all. This is what a true husband should do, and Lin Feng is precisely such a man.

Lin Feng and Yu Wentai entered the military tent.

"Serve the Imperial Wine."

A maid, holding a delicate blue porcelain wine pot, walked leisurely towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng responded calmly to Yu Wentai: "Yu Wentai, you truly are one with refined tastes, even the maid is so graceful."

"Oh, does Lord Lin fancy her? I can deliver her to you immediately."

Upon seeing Yu Wentai willing to send this woman to him, Lin Feng immediately said with a smile: "Yu Wen, you really are jesting. What merit does Lin Feng have to enjoy such fortune? Not to say I am unworthy, even if I were, a person is not an object to be given so lightly."

Throughout Lin Feng’s speech, his face was filled with smiles, appearing neither humble nor arrogant, quite modest and polite.

Yu Wentai laughed and said: "Hahaha, earlier I was merely joking, Brother Lin need not take it to heart."

At this moment, the maid had already filled Lin Feng’s cup with Imperial Wine and was now behind Lin Feng.

Meanwhile, another maid also held a wine pot, filling a cup for the Imperial Censor.

The Imperial Censor suddenly raised his cup, offering a toast to Lin Feng.

"Come, Brother Lin, let’s down this cup together."

At this point, Wu Fa, concerned about the possibility of poison in the wine, rushed into the tent. Soon after, several soldiers from outside the tent also entered.

The soldiers were about to seize Wu Fa, but surprisingly, Yu Wentai did not seem the least bit startled, still as gentle as before.

Lin Feng noticed this point too.

Yu Wentai instructed the soldiers behind Wu Fa: "Enough, all of you leave."

Only then did the soldiers reluctantly exit.

Seeing Wu Fa’s suspicion, Yu Wentai said: "What, are you afraid I would poison the wine against him?"

Consequently, he downed his own cup of wine and then poured Lin Feng’s Imperial Wine into his cup and drank it all in one go.

The entire process was quite swift, without the slightest hesitation. It was done cleanly, leaving no room for criticism.

Only then did Wu Fa feel at ease, thinking to leave the military tent.

Seeing Wu Fa about to leave, Yu Wentai promptly stopped him.

"Since you’ve come to the tent, join me for a drink. Someone, prepare a seat."

Then, Wu Fa was also given a seat.

The three of them raised their cups and started drinking and eating together.

After finishing the banquet with Yu Wentai, Lin Feng returned to Wu Fa’s home.

A table, on which nothing but emptiness was placed.

Outside, the sky gradually darkened, Lin Feng took out a Star Bead and placed it on the wooden table.

The Star Bead, propelled by his thoughts, floated above the surface of the table. The pitch-black room was instantly illuminated.

This was the gem Lin Feng took from the main hall of the Stone Temple.

It can provide an almost endless source of light, suitable for night traveling, indoor lighting, or even military campaigns and reconnaissance.

Seeing the peculiar treasure on the table, Wu Fa curiously remarked: "Lin Feng, what is this?"

"This is the lamp wick I took from the lamp on the lowest level of the Stone Temple."

Hearing Lin Feng’s answer, Wu Fa contentedly nodded, even though he was curious, he didn’t continue to inquire, his experience told him it was a valuable treasure. But no matter how hard Wu Fa thought, he wouldn’t guess that Lin Feng had more than two hundred of these treasures in his Storage Magic Treasure.

"It’s truly a good thing, but why have you returned alone today, where is Ping’er?"

Wu Fa was still most concerned about his niece.

Lin Feng transitioned into the main topic.

"Ping’er left with Wu Tian, according to my speculation they should have gone to Qingling."

Wu Fa deeply sighed and then shook his head. In the end, he let go of his obsession, calmly saying: "It is truly fate. It’s not a bad thing for them to recognize each other as father and daughter..."

Though Wu Fa wasn’t sure if it was a good thing, Wu Ping recognizing her biological father couldn’t be considered a bad thing.

"I killed the man in white in the Stone Temple, and Xue Nian was also corrupted as he unleashed the Dark Power."

Upon hearing this, Wu Fa said: "I knew Xue Nian and Old Shen were not good people, now it seems that their plot to have you capture Wu Tian was premeditated, they simply intended to harm you and take you all out in one swoop."

Wu Fa, being a General for many years and having fought many battles, could naturally see the underlying schemes. Not needing the other party to finish their sentence, he could understand thoroughly, that was Wu Fa’s exceptional trait.

This point was also greatly appreciated by Lin Feng.

"This matter should not be made public, I’ll simply claim they fell into Qingling’s ambush, the Court has no evidence of their death. To prevent implicating the citizens of Peace City, there’s no need to insist on winning or losing in the rights or wrongs of this matter."
