C8 Go Back to Normal!
"It hurts so much... I'm in agony," Chu Wenn cried out incessantly. It was then that everyone truly witnessed Lin Feng's formidable strength. Otherwise, Chu Wenn's capabilities would have surely been enough to defeat Lin Feng. Even considering Lin Feng's past performances, he would have managed to resolve the situation with ease.
"What do you think? Are you still considering launching another attack on me?" Lin Feng said as he moved closer to Chu Wenn and firmly planted his foot on Chu Wenn's chest.
At that moment, Chu Wenn was unable to react. He had no choice but to concede defeat. If he didn't, no one could predict the consequences, and it was likely that things would take a turn for the worse.
"I was wrong, so wrong. I won't dare to do it again. I underestimated you before, and that's why this happened. I'm truly very sorry. I know I shouldn't have let things get to this point. I was wrong, and I promise not to repeat my mistakes, okay?"
Chu Wenn fell silent, fully aware that his strength paled in comparison to Lin Feng's. He also realized that if he were to attack Lin Feng now, the outcome would not be in his favor. He had to consider his own situation.
"Enough, Lin Feng. Let's not forget we're both part of the Chu family. If you're too harsh on him, it wouldn't be right. I think it's best to put an end to this now. There's no need for further discussion. Let's focus on our own responsibilities; that should suffice. Do you understand?" the elders nearby advised Lin Feng.
They hoped Lin Feng would heed their words and refrain from further aggression toward Chu Wenn, especially since Chu Wenn was already at his limit.
Lin Feng, taking the elders' counsel to heart, decided to hold back. Initially, he had no intention of dragging the situation out, knowing it would be pointless to do so. He had been ready to stop for a while.
Had Chu Wenn not repeatedly provoked him, Lin Feng would never have let the situation escalate to this point.
"Let's call it a day, Chu Wenn. Today, we'll consider it a draw. Since everyone agrees that the contest should not continue, and if I were to press on, it would go against the common sentiment. Therefore, I won't pursue this further. But I hope you realize that you have indeed lost today. It's just that I prefer not to dwell on it at this moment. Do you understand?" Lin Feng declared emphatically.
After listening, Chu Wenn nodded repeatedly. At this point, what other options did he have? All he could do was nod in agreement, as there were no other solutions at hand.
"Alright, Dad, let's head home. This issue is resolved, and there's no point in lingering here. I'm sure they've now seen my true strength for themselves and won't dare to cross me in the future," Lin Feng said, leading Chu Wei back to their modest home.
Throughout their journey, Chu Wei couldn't take his eyes off Lin Feng, admiring the charisma he exuded. He found the whole situation incredibly thrilling.
"Son, I have to ask, how did you manage to defeat Chu Wenn just now? Keep in mind, you've never been able to beat him before, much less now. What technique did you use? I couldn't figure it out," Chu Wei asked Lin Feng, puzzled.
He was aware that even before Lin Feng's illness, he hadn't been able to best Chu Wenn, who was one of the most formidable members of the Chu family. Lin Feng felt a twinge of regret when he realized he had defeated someone he couldn't have in his past life.
He thought he should have avoided such an effortless victory to prevent arousing suspicion. It was his own overthinking that led to this predicament.
"I didn't use any special techniques, just the usual ones. As for why he couldn't defeat me, perhaps his skills have diminished while I was ill. He might have assumed I'd never recover, so he stopped practicing," Lin Feng hastily explained.
He didn't even believe his own explanation, knowing full well that the Chu family trained daily. Even if Chu Wenn had wanted to quit, the family's rigorous training regimen wouldn't have allowed it.
"You're right, your explanation makes sense. Perhaps he really didn't train properly during this time, which led to this outcome," Chu Wei quickly concurred.
Feeling Chu Wei's trust, Lin Feng was deeply moved. He hadn't expected his father-in-law, in this new life, to care for him more than his own parents had in his previous life. Lin Feng was incredibly touched, considering it an honor to spend his life with such a person.
"There's no need for them to say anything else. I'm confident that I'll see this through to the end. And from now on, those who once looked down on us will surely recognize how we should act in these times. Father, rest assured, I won't ever let such a situation occur again."
After finishing, Lin Feng fell silent. Tears filled Chu Wei's eyes. He hadn't anticipated Lin Feng's words to be so moving. It was an undeniable truth that he simply couldn't resist.
