My Good Disciple
6: Chapter 6: You’re Awake!
com /That1 OtakuDude
Dead silence!
The ferocity on the faces of the several Soul Elders who had come along was instantly replaced by terror, their hearts and minds shaking violently!
Only now did they realize that this harmless-looking young man before them was no lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He was clearly a Malevolent Star whose very presence they couldn’t even sense!
Even a Soul Ancestor had been killed instantly with such nonchalance!
He hadn’t even been given a chance to resist!
So, what did a few lowly Soul Elders like them count for in the eyes of the opponent?
They couldn’t afford to provoke him!
Absolutely not!
They wondered if kneeling down now would be of any use.
Forget running away, even the courage to move a finger had vanished.
They stood frozen on the spot, not daring to breathe a single heavy breath, their faces as pale as paper, waiting for their sentence.
Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned by the scene that had unfolded in a flash.
Watching the Soul Ancestor drop dead instantly, she turned her head and stared at Lin Feng with an incredulous look.
“You…
you killed him?” Her voice carried a hint of a tremble.
Lin Feng felt a bit speechless at her reaction.
It was a redundant question; wasn’t the fact plain to see?
“What, am I not allowed to kill him?”
“He was planning to take my life just now.”
“When it comes to enemies, I’ve never had the habit of being soft-hearted.”
Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily at a loss for words; of course, that wasn’t what she was worried about.
“You…
you’re going to get into big trouble.
They are…”
Lin Feng cut her off directly, his gaze sweeping over the Soul Elders who were as quiet as cicadas in winter.
“What about those guys?
Should I deal with them together?
Not that I’m lecturing you, but one shouldn’t be—at least, one ought not to be—as indecisive as you.”
“They came for you.
Think carefully about how you ended up in such a miserable state.
Think about what would await you if they caught you and took you back.
You should know that better than anyone.”
“What?
Am I wrong?
Or should I just leave?”
Zhu Zhuqing’s mind was in turmoil, a complete mess.
Lin Feng’s words actually left her unable to refute him for a moment; she even vaguely felt they made some sense.
‘Is it really me who is wrong?’
She struggled internally for a moment.
Looking at the deathly pale Soul Elders, throughout the chase, these people ultimately hadn’t dealt her a killing blow.
Otherwise, how could one Soul Ancestor and several Soul Elders have allowed her, a mere Soul Grand Master, to escape to this place?
“Let them go.
They were only acting on orders.”
“In the short term, I don’t plan on going back to that place anyway.”
“I will settle this grudge myself.
Just consider letting them go back to deliver the news.”
A flash of disappointment crossed Lin Feng’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything more in the end.
He just shook his head slightly, respecting Zhu Zhuqing’s choice.
He turned to the Soul Elders.
“Did you hear that?
Consider yourselves lucky.
Get lost.”
Zhu Zhuqing caught that fleeting disappointment in Lin Feng’s eyes, and her heart tightened inexplicably.
A feeling that she had done something wrong quietly surfaced.
But immediately after, she grew secretly annoyed: she was neither kin nor friend to him, so why should she care if he was disappointed?
As for those Soul Elders, hearing the words ‘get lost’ was like hearing the most beautiful music in the world!
The immense fear was instantly drowned by the wild joy of surviving a disaster.
They no longer cared about dignity, kowtowing frantically toward Lin Feng while stammering their thanks incoherently:
“Thank you, Great One!
Thank you for sparing our lives!”
“Thank you for your mercy, Great One!”
When one can live, who would be willing to die?
At this moment, their eyes even showed gratitude as they scrambled to their feet and disappeared into the depths of the forest in a panic, fearing Lin Feng might change his mind.
With the eyesores dealt with, Lin Feng’s attention fell back onto Zhu Zhuqing.
“Alright, now you can answer my question.”
“I want to take you as my disciple.
Do you agree or not?”
Zhu Zhuqing’s tensed nerves finally relaxed; the threat was temporarily resolved.
She was about to speak and offer a solemn thank you, but she was once again blocked by this incredibly persistent question from Lin Feng.
She truly couldn’t understand it; she even felt this man before her was simply bizarre to the extreme!
Why was he so insistent on taking her as a disciple?
Although she couldn’t see the depth of his power, that move of instantly killing a Soul Ancestor just now was indeed incredibly shocking, enough to prove his strength was unfathomable.
But he looked so young; how strong could he really be?
A Soul King or a Soul Emperor?
Something wasn’t right.
This man must have other motives; otherwise, why would he be holding her so tightly?
She bit her lower lip and asked back, “What if…
what if I refuse?
Can’t we just be friends?”
Lin Feng’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Refuse?
Then you’re choosing the hard way over the easy way.
I can only…”
Before he could finish, a wave of exhaustion swept over Zhu Zhuqing.
Her vision went black, and before she could even speak, her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness.
Lin Feng looked at the girl who had instantly fainted in his arms, his face showing a bit of bewilderment and speechlessness.
“Uh, how did she just faint?”
“Could she have been pressured into fainting by me?”
Looking at the injured Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Feng raised his hand and released his third Soul Skill: Spirit Source Recovery.
A soft, emerald-green light enveloped her.
He didn’t use this healing Soul Skill often, but the effect was surprisingly good.
He guessed it might also be related to the characteristics of his Spirit.
The crisscrossing wounds on Zhu Zhuqing’s body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye within the light, revealing new skin.
“Tsk, the effect is quite good.”
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
After checking her over carefully and confirming there were no other hidden injuries, he finally felt at ease.
Without a word, he bent down and hoisted Zhu Zhuqing onto his shoulder like a sack of grain, then set off at a brisk pace toward Soto City.
The closer he got to Soto City, the more pedestrians there were on the Main Road.
Lin Feng tried his best to avoid the crowds, but carrying a living person while traveling was simply too eye-catching.
Various looks of shock, doubt, and even condemnation frequently landed on him.
There were even a few self-righteous passersby who jumped out wanting to play the hero and save the beauty, only to be kicked away impatiently by Lin Feng without exception.
“Noisy.”
He didn’t bother explaining; he’d rather spend that energy taking a few more steps.
With his strength displayed, if they weren’t happy, they could just suck it up.
After carrying her for nearly two hours, the majestic city walls of Soto City finally stood before him.
Lin Feng stopped and looked up at the towering city gate and the sprawling walls.
“Whoa, quite grand!” he exclaimed.
The buildings inside the city had a strong exotic flair, but Lin Feng lacked interest in such things, giving them only a couple of glances before looking away.
Not long after entering the city, the girl on his shoulder began to squirm restlessly—Zhu Zhuqing was awake.
She had been jolted awake by this bumpy, swaying posture; even while unconscious, she couldn’t find peace.
“You!
Put me down!”
She pounded hard on Lin Feng’s back, her voice carrying a hint of shame and annoyance.
Thanks to Lin Feng’s healing, the injuries on her body were no longer a major issue, though she was still mentally exhausted.
As soon as she was put down, she immediately stood firm.
Although her face was still a bit pale, her body was no longer as limp and powerless as before.
“Yo, you’re awake!
My good disciple.”
