Chapter 37: A Trip with a Beauty - First Encounter with Qiao Feng
Chapter 37
"Godmother, godmother"
Ling Feng's call snapped Madam Wang out of her reverie, and she quickly looked at Ling Feng, who had called her several times, and asked:
"Is something wrong, Feng'er?"
"Oh, I mean I'm planning to go out again soon."
Seeing that she seemed a little distracted, Ling Feng had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't ask, after all, it was her privacy.
When Madam Wang heard that Ling Feng was preparing to go out again, she couldn't help but frown.
"Feng'er, didn't you just get back? Why are you going out again?"
"Hehe, when I came back I heard that my cousin has been making a big fuss in the martial arts world recently, and the Beggars' Clan is even planning to come and demand an explanation from him."
"With such a commotion, I thought I'd go and see what the excitement was like. Besides, I'm a Xiantian expert now, so as long as I'm careful, nothing will happen."
Since Ling Feng had already said so, Madam Wang couldn't stop him. Besides, Ling Feng was already a Xiantian expert, so she wasn't too worried about his safety.
"Well, since you want to go out, then go ahead, just be careful!"
"Yes, I will."
Hearing that Ling Feng was going out again, Wang Yuyan became a little anxious. She knew that the last time Ling Feng was gone, he was gone for several months and brought back a younger sister with him.
She'd only been back a few days, and now she was going out again, and who knew how long she'd be gone this time? If she brought someone back with her, she'd be miserable! The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She looked at Ling Feng with a tearful voice and said:
"Brother Feng, I want to go with you this time too."
Ling Feng wanted to take them out with him, but he didn't know what his godmother thought, so he looked at Madam Wang beside him and asked:
“Godmother, what do you think? I think it would be better to let Yan’er come out with me. After all, she has never been out before. With my current strength, I can guarantee her safety.”
Now that Ling Feng had made his stance clear, all three of them immediately turned their gazes to Madam Wang. After all, Zhong Ling's family wasn't here, and she could leave with Ling Feng at any time.
Looking at the three of them, Madam Wang pondered for a moment before nodding and saying:
"Since Feng'er has said so, let her go out with you to have a look."
After agreeing, she turned to Wang Yuyan and instructed her:
"After you leave, you must follow Feng'er's arrangements in everything, and remember not to act childishly."
"Yes, Mother."
When Madam Wang agreed to let her go out, Wang Yuyan's mood immediately brightened. She playfully stuck out her tongue and quickly agreed to Madam Wang's instructions.
Afterwards, Madam Wang gave the group some more instructions, and then went back to her room with a heavy heart.
After she left, the three of them relaxed a lot, especially Wang Yuyan. She was overjoyed to have the chance to go out and chattered like a lark, asking Ling Feng and Zhong Ling about the situation outside.
Ling Feng stayed at home for a few more days. He learned from the servants who had returned from Suzhou that the Beggars' Clan would hold a meeting in Xingzilin outside Wuxi in seven days.
Upon hearing this news, Ling Feng knew that Qiao Feng's storyline was about to begin. He didn't want to miss such a grand event, especially since he still had a daily check-in task to complete.
He immediately took the two women and bid farewell to Madam Wang, preparing to head to Suzhou first, and then continue on his journey to Wuxi.
Of course, Ling Feng didn't forget about A'Zhu. After all, she fell in love with Qiao Feng at first sight in Xingzilin. If it weren't for her, Qiao Feng's tragedy might have been repeated.
The three of them arrived at Yanziwu by boat, only to find that someone had come to seek revenge on Murong Fu. Since Ling Feng had already encountered them, he simply dismissed them and then called on A Zhu, who had been prepared in advance. The four of them then headed to Suzhou City together.
They could have traveled directly to Wuxi by water, but the women insisted on taking the land route, so Ling Feng had no choice but to comply.
Five days later, the four of them finally arrived in Wuxi. They should have arrived much earlier, but the three women had been sightseeing along the way, which took them a full five days.
Especially for Wang Yuyan and A'Zhu, this was their first time traveling far from home, so everything outside was naturally new and exciting to them. Since Ling Feng had plenty of time, he accompanied them on their sightseeing trip.
As soon as they entered Wuxi, they felt like they had entered a den of beggars, with groups of beggars everywhere on the streets.
They didn't pay much attention to this, after all, the Beggars' Sect was going to hold a meeting in the Apricot Grove outside the city in two days. You know, the Beggars' Sect meeting is like a representative meeting in later times. Beggars from all over the country will come here, so it's normal that there are more beggars here.
The group found an inn in the city to stay in, and then Ling Feng led the women to Songhe Tower, intending to wait for them there. After all, he clearly remembered that Qiao Feng had made his debut here, drinking wine.
After waiting for two days, Ling Feng finally saw Qiao Feng without seeing him. On the morning of the day the Beggars' Sect held its meeting, Ling Feng finally met the person he was waiting for.
Although he didn't know Qiao Feng in person, Ling Feng still recognized him as soon as Qiao Feng entered the restaurant.
The main reason is that Qiao Feng's characteristics are quite unique. He has the tall and rugged appearance of a northerner, making him stand out from the crowd.
He came in and sat at the table next to Ling Feng and the others. After sitting down, he ordered ten catties of good wine and two catties of beef by himself.
Before long, the wine and meat were served, and he immediately began to drink from the large bowl. This further convinced Ling Feng of the man's identity, as most people could not drink like that.
Ling Feng's occasional glances caught Qiao Feng's attention. Qiao Feng raised his head and bowed respectfully to Ling Feng, asking:
Why are you staring at me like that, brother?
Ling Feng felt a little embarrassed after being caught spying, but who was he? As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed. So he raised his glass in return and said:
"There's no particular reason, but I'm just amazed by your incredible drinking capacity; I've rarely seen anything like it in my life."
Hearing Ling Feng say this, Qiao Feng glanced at Ling Feng's desk, then smiled and said:
"Haha, I suppose you can hold your liquor quite well, brother."
Ling Feng knew he would definitely run into Qiao Feng today, so in order to attract his attention, he had already ordered several jars of wine.
Ling Feng already had a good alcohol tolerance in his previous life, and with the addition of martial arts training in this life, his alcohol tolerance has become even more astonishing.
The alcohol these days is mostly low-alcohol, similar to beer in his previous life. For Ling Feng, this is practically unbeatable; he can drink it all the time with his hands in his pockets.
Therefore, Ling Feng did not refute Qiao Feng's words, since they were indeed true. He then said to Qiao Feng in a hearty manner:
"I see you're drinking alone, which is quite boring. Since our meeting is fate, why don't we drink together?"
Qiao Feng did not refuse Ling Feng's invitation. After all, he had rarely met someone with a comparable drinking capacity over the years. Besides, he already had some guesses about Ling Feng's identity.
Then, without saying a word, the two started drinking. They took turns drinking, and in no time, they had downed ten catties of liquor.
Although both of them had drunk so much, neither of them showed any reaction, and their expressions did not change at all.
"A thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend," and the two drank another ten jin (2.5 kg) without any reaction. They were both impressed by each other's drinking capacity and felt as if they had met a kindred spirit.
