Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 66: The Destined Hero Emerges! I, Lin Feng, Will Act on Heaven's Behalf!

As Chen Zhixing walked past a large crowd, with people flanking him on all sides, he brushed by Ruan Nanzhu without a second glance. He merely gave her a fleeting, indifferent look before moving on, not sparing her another thought.

This left Ruan Nanzhu, who had been imagining a grand scene in her mind, utterly dumbfounded and momentarily frozen.

What… what just happened?

This isn't at all how I imagined it would go!

"Nanzhu! You silly girl, where have you been?"

It wasn't until her mother's voice called out that Ruan Nanzhu snapped back to reality with a startled "Ah."

"Mother, what is it?" she asked, flustered.

"You’re asking me what’s going on? The Third Young Master is here, where did you run off to earlier?" Madam Ruan gave Ruan Nanzhu a frustrated glare, then continued, "Your father is very angry right now. Go and apologize to him at once!"

"I understand," Ruan Nanzhu nodded obediently, then asked in a small voice, "Mother, was that just now the Third Young Master? Didn’t they say he was still young? How is he..."

Recalling the glimpse of Chen Zhixing’s side profile as he passed by, she murmured, "How is he so outstanding?"

Madam Ruan, clearly annoyed by the question, responded, "He’s from a family of immortals; did you think he was some peasant like us? Of course, he’s extraordinary."

After this, Madam Ruan gave Ruan Nanzhu a few more instructions before leaving.

Meanwhile, at the front of the group, Chen Zhixing had a faint smile on his face.

The girl who would one day become a renowned heroine across the Eastern Xuan Region, Ruan Nanzhu, was indeed exceptionally beautiful. 

Even in both his past and present lives, he had never seen a girl more beautiful than Ruan Nanzhu.

He couldn't help but think, A girl this pretty would probably cry for a long time if I hit her, right?

That night, under a starry sky with the moon high above, in the grand hall of the Ruan residence, Chen Zhixing, dressed in white as pure as snow, sat at the head of the table, quietly sipping tea. 

The Ruan family members were all offering him drinks, to which Chen Zhixing responded with slight nods.

Next to him, Ruan Nanzhu sat nervously, occasionally stealing glances at Chen Zhixing’s profile. Though she was reluctant to admit it, she had to acknowledge that the Third Young Master of the Chen family was indeed an exceptional figure, at least in terms of appearance, whether or not he was capable.

At least in this small place of Wuxuan, she had never seen anyone more handsome than this Third Young Master.

I’ve now broken through to the first level of True Self. Next, I should focus on breaking through to the second level, thought Chen Zhixing, his eyes flickering. While others needed to accumulate strength and deepen their understanding of the Dao to advance, he, with the Nine Gods Technique, only needed to condense a second Dao Seed to reach the second level of True Self.

However, he was uncertain about what to choose for his second Dao Seed. The Dao of Divine Sense was too profound, and he felt he had yet to fully comprehend it.

While Chen Zhixing was deep in thought, Ruan Zhenlong, the head of the Ruan family, asked with a smile, "Third Young Master, how do you find the dishes? Are they to your taste?"

Chen Zhixing returned to the present, nodded, and said, "Not bad. These are all made from spirit beasts caught in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. The Ruan family head is very considerate."

"Hahaha, that’s good to hear. We’re just a small place here, nothing like the Chen family. Some things might not be up to standard, so I hope you’ll forgive us, Third Young Master," Ruan Zhenlong said, feeling relieved that his interaction with Chen Zhixing seemed to be going well. He thought to himself that the Ruan family of Wuxuan City might finally be able to establish a connection with the prestigious Chen family.

As Ruan Zhenlong was lost in thoughts of a bright future, the grand hall's doors suddenly burst open with a loud bang.

Everyone turned to see a young man dressed in simple servant’s clothes, striding into the hall.

Before anyone could react, the young man spoke in a voice filled with righteous indignation:

"If securing the future of your family requires sacrificing your own daughter, then I say such a future isn't worth it!"

The atmosphere in the grand hall instantly froze, with everyone staring in shock at the young servant.

Despite the attention, the young man remained unfazed. He stepped forward, his expression resolute, and continued in a firm voice:

"A man born under heaven should strive to be strong and self-reliant! Relying on the sacrifice of one’s kin to curry favor with others—what kind of ability is that?"

"Miss Nanzhu is a living person, not a tool for you to trade away for your family’s future!"

"Do you even have an ounce of respect for her?"

As he spoke, a mocking smile appeared on the young servant's face.

"Ha! I never would have thought that a hall full of supposedly noble men would all be nothing more than a bunch of peddlers willing to sell their own heads!"

Boom!

His words were like a stone thrown into a still pond, causing ripples of shock to spread throughout the hall.

"How dare you!!"

Ruan Zhenlong, who had been daydreaming about the future, suddenly stood up in anger, slamming his hand on the chair. "Lin Feng! This is our family’s banquet, and you dare to make such a scene!"

"Seize him at once!!"

Immediately, several elders of the Ruan family rose, their expressions fierce.

Even Ruan Nantian's face turned cold as he said, "Lin Feng, this is a private family matter. You, a mere servant, have no right to speak here!"

Surrounded by the angry elders, Lin Feng showed no sign of fear, as if he had anticipated this outcome. He stepped forward again, his tone dripping with sarcasm:

"A hall full of people, all of whom are supposed to be Miss Nanzhu’s kin, yet not one of you dares to speak up for her!"

"Where is the justice in this world? Where is the fairness?"

Boom!

Lin Feng took another step forward, his eyes sweeping over the faces of those present as he spoke each word with force:

"I know you all look down on me because I’m just a lowly servant, but let me tell you this—"

"If there’s no justice in this world, then I, Lin Feng, will use my fists to create it today!"

"If there’s no fairness, then I, Lin Feng, will stand tall and carve it out myself!!"

His final words struck like a hammer, shocking everyone into silence.

"You... you..."

Ruan Zhenlong was so furious that he trembled all over, barely able to speak.

Madam Ruan, Ruan Nantian, and the others were all livid.

Does this man want to destroy the Ruan family?!

At this moment, the members of the Ruan family looked at Lin Feng as if they wanted to tear him apart.

"Third... Third Young Master, give me some time, I’ll handle this!" Ruan Zhenlong said hurriedly, forcing a smile as he turned to Chen Zhixing.

Chen Zhixing nodded slightly, his expression unchanged. He took a sip of tea, then turned his gaze to Lin Feng with interest.

A servant, fits the role.

Humble origins but with unyielding spirit, fits the role.

Paranoid delusions of persecution, thinking others look down on him, fits the role.

Overly passionate, fits the role.

And most importantly, he acts so well!

No doubt about it, this Lin Feng must be the destined protagonist of the "Retainer Arc"!

Next, according to the usual protagonist pattern, Lin Feng should reveal his talent and power, defeating all the elders and shocking everyone, right?

As Chen Zhixing pondered, Ruan Zhenlong turned around and roared, "Seize this scoundrel immediately!"

In an instant, eight family elders, all at the fifth level of the Luminescence Realm, charged at Lin Feng, intending to subdue him.

"Who dares to touch me?!"

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed as he released his aura, revealing his newly acquired Luminescence Realm power.

Facing the eight powerful elders, he laughed loudly:

"With such meager strength, you think you can capture me, Lin Feng? You’re nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

"Divine Art: Extreme Desolation Eye!"

Boom!

In that moment, an invisible force surged from Lin Feng’s eyes.

The eight Ruan family elders were struck as if by an unseen hammer, sent flying backward, spitting blood.

In a single move, all eight Luminescence Realm elders were defeated!

The grand hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at Lin Feng in disbelief.

"What? He broke through to the Luminescence Realm?"

"Gasp! He just entered the Luminescence Realm and already overpowered eight elders at the fifth level!"

"This is bad!"

Whispers spread through the hall.

Lin Feng shook his shoulders, a triumphant smile on his face.

Everything that had happened was unfolding exactly as he had envisioned.

Now, it was time to confront that so-called third young master!

With that thought, Lin Feng raised his head, gazing directly at the man seated at the head of the table. From start to finish, Chen Zhixing had remained calm and composed, his expression unchanging. Lin Feng spoke loudly, his voice echoing through the hall:

"I presume you are the third young master of the Ziwei Chen family?"
