<h4>Chapter 361: A Stern Warning!</h4>


    In fact, if Deng Xian hadn''t appeared in time, Ling Feng would have already activated his true qi. If Deng Yongshi had really made a move, then his p would havended squarely on her face.


    Ling Feng had never been fond of this youngdy whocked discipline.


    Compared to her, Qin Wanwan seemed much more adorable.


    "Grandpa!"


    Deng Yongshi withdrew her hand and turned to nce at General Deng, tears welling up in her eyes. "Grandpa, you''re helping others instead of me!"


    General Deng sighed lightly, approached Yue Yun with an apologetic smile, and said slowly, "Miss Yue, my granddaughter is really out of line. Allow me to apologize to you on her behalf."


    "General Deng, you''re being too kind." Yue Yun''s lips parted slightly as she said softly, "Miss Deng feels aggrieved because the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit was taken. It''s understandable."


    "Miss Yue''s understanding puts my mind at ease." Deng Xian nodded at Yue Yun. Despite his own distinguished background, he couldn''t help but admire this youngdy from the Cangqiong Sect who showed no trace of arrogance or caprice.


    Unfortunately, while everyone in the Deng family, being warriors through and through, was used to discipline, Deng Yongshi, being a girl and having lost her mother early, was treasured by the family, which led to her spoiled and willful behavior.


    "<i>Hmph.</i> Yue Yun, don''t y the good person here. I don''t ept your kindness!"


    Deng Yongshi red at Yue Yun, and then turned to Ling Feng, fuming. "You big jerk, it was bad enough that you took the Sword Enlightenment Stonest time. If you don''t give the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit to me this time, I will make your life a living hell!"


    Ling Feng shrugged, ignoring Deng Yongshi, and instead bowed to General Deng while smiling. "Senior Deng, it''s good to see you again."


    "<i>Mhmm.</i>" Deng Xian stroked his beard, nodding slightly. "How''s your master?"


    "He''s well, Senior Deng. Thank you for your concern." Ling Feng pursed his lips, thinking that Deng Xian probably regarded Yan Cangtian as his master. Though they didn''t have the formal master-disciple rtionship, in reality, they were indeed like master and disciple. So, he didn''t deny it.


    Seeing Ling Feng dare to ignore her, Deng Yongshi was furious. "Fine, you dare to disrespect me? I''ll fight you!"


    "At such a young age, you''re already so arrogant! Your noble background should be thedder for your progress, not a capital for unting!" Ling Feng red at Deng Yongshi and snorted. "Miss Deng, I address you as ''Miss'' out of respect for General Deng. Otherwise, in my eyes, you''re just incapable!"


    "What did you say?" Deng Yongshi''s eyes widened in disbelief. Never had anyone dared to speak to her like this before.


    "Only incapable people can''t live up to the world''s standards, Miss Deng. If you don''t admit that you''re incapable, then don''t rely on General Deng''s reputation to act arrogantly!"


    Ling Feng stood with his hands behind his back with his icy gaze fixed on Deng Yongshi. It was like he was a strict mentor delivering a stern warning, each word of his resolute and forceful.


    "I''ve said my piece, Miss Deng. I hope you can take it to heart. Otherwise, you''ll only bring disgrace upon yourself!"


    After finishing his words, Ling Feng paid no further attention to Deng Yongshi. Instead, he nodded to Yue Yun and her servant and said lightly, "Miss Yue, let''s go."


    "<i>Mhmm.</i>" Yue Yun smiled. She hadn''t expected Ling Feng to speak so frankly, which made her look at him in a new light.


    "Senior Deng, I have other matters to attend to. I''ll take my leave." Ling Feng bowed to Deng Xian once again, and then left the room with Yue Yun and her servant.


    "You! You!"


    Deng Yongshi was stunned by Ling Feng''s scolding. It took her a moment to react. She raised her hand to attack Ling Feng''s back, but Deng Xian grabbed her wrist.


    "Little Shi, what Ling Feng said is not wrong. You really need to change your ways." Deng Xian sighed lightly while watching Ling Feng''s departing figure, before a sudden thought urred to him.


    Maybe inviting Ling Feng back to teach his granddaughter for a few days could help her improve her behavior.


    <i>Yes, that would definitely work!</i>


    After all, at his age, there was a serious generation gap with his granddaughter, and Deng Yongshi''s father was stationed at the border all year round. There was no one around to discipline this willful youngdy.


    <i>"Mhmm,</i> I should visit Tianwei Academy someday and ask that old fellow Yan Cangtian to lend me his treasured disciple for a few days as a guest!"


    Deng Xian stroked his long beard, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. It seemed he had made up his mind.


    "<i>Bah!</i> Grandpa, that brat was talking nonsense. I don''t care. Anyone who dares to take something from me, Deng Yongshi, will pay for it!"


    Deng Yongshi red at her grandfather angrily. "Let go of me, stupid Grandpa!"


    "You little rascal!" Deng Xian red at her sternly. "That Ling Feng is of your senior uncle''s generation. Even if you don''t call him senior uncle, you shouldn''t address him so disrespectfully! And if you dare to cause trouble for him, don''t me me for enforcing family discipline!"


    "<i>Hmph!</i>" Seeing Deng Xian''s serious expression, Deng Yongshi felt a pang of grievance. Grandpa had never been so stern with her before, and now, for the sake of that brat, he was threatening her with family discipline!


    <i>It was all that damned Ling Feng''s fault!</i>


    Seeing her grandfather''s severe gaze, Deng Yongshi reluctantly nodded while holding back her tears. "Fine, I won''t cause trouble for that brat anymore!"


    However, she secretly vowed: <i>Brat, you''d better not let me see you again, or you''ll regret it!</i>


    ...


    Ling Feng had no idea that Deng Yongshi, the number one beauty of Han Academy, was gnashing her teeth in hatred towards him. Even if he had known, he wouldn''t have cared.


    There were many people who hated him; Deng Yongshi was just another one.


    After retrieving the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit he had bid on from the VIP room at the auction house, and with over 3,000,000 high-grade elemental stones credited to his ount, Ling Feng was undoubtedly the biggest winner of the night aside from the Tianmeng Auction House.


    On the way back to Tianwei Academy, Qiao Qiao looked at Ling Feng in surprise and said, "Mr. Ling, you usually seem so dense, but when ites to teaching someone a lesson, you''re really impressive!"


    "<i>Uh...</i>"


    Ling Feng rubbed his nose. This might be a work habit of being a sect leader.


    After all, being young and managing thousands of disciples required frequent motivational talks, which seemed to have matured his mindset considerably.


    "<i>Hehe,</i> it would be a shame if you didn''t stay at Tianwei Academy as a mentor in the future," Qiao Qiao said with a squinting smile.


    "For once, Qiao Qiao is right. Mr. Ling, you really are suited for it," Yue Yun added with a smile.


    "Exactly! Did you see how stunned Deng Yongshi was after you scolded her? It was so satisfying," Qiao Qiaoughed.


    Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, saying nothing. He was already thinking about how to refine that Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit...
