Looking back, he was surprised to find a shy expression on his daughter's face, which made Feng Zhenghao, the old father, a little unhappy.
I'm not your daughter, I'm telling you to get to know him properly, but you can't just give up so easily, can you?
Well, Luke's gaze was just too intense. Even with Feng Shayan's unrestrained personality, she felt a little overwhelmed and said in embarrassment and annoyance.
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Feng Zhenghao said with a stern face, "Shayan, do not be rude."
Luke smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. I really like Miss Feng's personality. So, Miss Feng, may I pursue you?"
Luke only looked at Feng Shayan carefully now and felt that this girl met his criteria for a partner in every way.
Moreover, having practiced the art of observation, he could tell at a glance that Feng Shayan was still a virgin. She appeared quite unrestrained, but was surprisingly conservative.
Even Luke himself was no longer a virgin after entering university, since he didn't practice Yang Five Thunder and there was no need for him to remain a virgin.
Since he had his eye on Feng Shayan, Luke naturally spoke up without hesitation. You can't be slow when pursuing a girl; if you're slow, you'll be slow at everything. With him around, he couldn't let Jia Zhengliang continue to be known as "five hundred a night."
Feng Shayan's face flushed red as she roared, "What nonsense are you spouting? You're so annoying!"
Although Feng Zhenghao was somewhat upset that the wild boars outside were trying to rob his family's cabbage, he was generally supportive of the matter. After all, his daughter was growing up and would eventually have to get married, and Luke was a very good marriage prospect.
He is intelligent and capable, though he may be arrogant because of his strength and disdain petty scheming, just as he had just directly exposed his own probing intentions.
But such people have pure intentions, so there's no need to worry about them having bad intentions, because if they were to be bad, they would do it openly.
"Luke, that's just how Sayan is. You young people should be more tolerant of each other."
Luke smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Feng, you're too kind. I understand, I understand everything."
Well, just a moment ago he was calling him Chairman Feng, and now he's calling him Uncle Feng.
"By the way, Uncle Feng, I heard that the Tianxia Society has some conflicts with the Wang family. Do you need my help?"
Now that he had decided to pursue the girl, Luke felt he had to show his sincerity and get in touch with the Wang family. Luke felt confident in his abilities.
Feng Zhenghao narrowed his eyes, adjusted his glasses, and said, "It's just a small misunderstanding. It just so happens that Grandpa Wang is also on the mountain, and we were just about to find some time to clear up this misunderstanding."
In fact, Feng Zhenghao was neither nearsighted nor farsighted; he wore glasses only to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes.
The feud with the Wang family was nothing more than a business dispute; the Wang family was unilaterally seizing business from the Tianxia Group.
In the original novel, Feng Zhenghao appears to be completely unaware of the earlier feud between the Wang and Feng families, but upon closer examination, this seems impossible.
Most of the Thirty-Six Thieves are outstanding individuals, so how could they not have a backup plan? Just by looking at Feng Zhenghao, you can tell what kind of person Feng Tianyang, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, is.
"Just let me know if you need anything!"
Luke had already said what he wanted to say, and Feng Zhenghao wasn't going to reveal anything, so he didn't rush to help. He turned to look at Feng Shayan.
"You haven't answered my question yet. How about I start pursuing you now?"
Luke had never pursued a girl in his two lifetimes plus the four worlds of his previous life, so he really didn't know what the process of pursuing a girl was like, and simply went straight for the point.
"Get lost!"
Feng Shayan's face turned bright red as she grumbled and cursed. Although she had feelings for Luke, she was speechless at his clueless behavior.
Luke, however, said completely nonchalantly, "Then I'll take that as your agreement."
Feng Shayan didn't say anything more, which could be considered as tacit agreement. Feng Xingtong, watching her sister's state, immediately understood and said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, please don't mind, my sister is just shy."
Luke smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't mind."
After speaking, Luke winked at Feng Xingtong. This future brother-in-law, Luke, seemed quite pleasing to the eye. He was pure-hearted and talented. In the original work, he almost risked his life to release Liu Kunsheng and even risked his own life to use the broken treasure Qingfeng Token to save the great master Wang Zizhong from Wang Bing's poisonous hands.
"Boom!!!"
"Feng Xingtong, come here, your sister has something to tell you."
Feng Shayan punched Feng Xingtong on the head. Although she was about to lose control of her expression, she still forced a smile and pulled the groaning Feng Xingtong aside.
She disciplined her younger brother not by suppressing his bloodline, but entirely by her strength.
"Brother-in-law, save me!"
Faced with his future brother-in-law's plea for help, Luke only gave him a pitying look and then said...
"Xing Tong, please take care."
Feng Zhenghao coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Ahem, Xiao Lu, I'll call you Xiao Lu from now on, you don't mind, do you?"
Luke smiled and replied, "It's alright, I'm just a junior."
Feng Zhenghao said with a smile, "It's good that you don't mind. Don't look at Sha Yan like this now. As her father, I know her quite well. She's just shy right now. She'll be fine in a while."
Luke laughed and said, "It's fine, I like her just the way she is. If she changed her personality, I wouldn't even like her!"
Although Luke is the same person in every world, while their underlying nature is the same, their personalities and hobbies may not be the same.
Luke, who lives a solitary life, likes the fiery personality of Feng Shayan; it's the fiery nature of her that makes conquering her so exciting.
Even with Feng Zhenghao's composure, he couldn't help but break down in a moment of unease upon hearing Luke's words.
It wasn't that Feng Zhenghao had a problem with his daughter, but rather that he truly understood her. She had a fiery temper and was highly competitive; most men couldn't handle a woman like that. He hadn't expected Luke to like this type. Was he just getting too old and out of touch with the younger generation?
Chapter 41: One Man's Story: Zhang Chulan Overturns the Heavens
Just as Luke and Feng Zhenghao were chatting, the referee's loud voice came over the loudspeaker:
"Contestant Yi Baihu, please enter the arena immediately!"
On the field of the White Tiger.
The three extraordinary individuals stood together. Seeing that Zhang Chulan hadn't shown up yet, a bald man muttered, "That kid isn't too scared to come, is he?"
"How could that be? That kid is the inheritor of the Qi Body Source Stream." A blue-haired youth said noncommittally.
"I'm coming!"
Just then, someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.
The three of them also looked towards the entrance, where they saw a figure wearing a cloak slowly walk into the arena.
As the figure walked, he took off his hat, revealing a familiar face—it was Zhang Chulan.
Before they could react, Zhang Chulan's aura suddenly changed, and his eyes revealed a deep and cold aura.
His voice was deep and powerful, like that of a king returning:
"Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi!"
"Grandpa, the extraordinary people of the world wronged you back then, and today your grandson has come to take revenge on them!"
Upon seeing this, Yi Baihu's three contestants were filled with horror.
"Such a powerful aura! No wonder you are the successor of the Qi Body Source Stream!"
"I don't know what he's talking about, but it sounds really impressive..."
Finally, the blue-haired youth took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Chulan, don't blame me, Xiao Yan, for bullying you. It's because you were too attention-seeking!"
"bully me?"
"Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zhang Chulan suddenly burst into laughter, arrogantly declaring, "Just the three of you?"
"Are you even worthy of my use of the Qi Source Flow?"
"I never expected my opponent to be an ant like you."
The more Zhang Chulan spoke, the more astonishing his aura became. He pointed to the sky, striking an arrogant pose, and declared with boundless pride:
"The one I should take down is the Old Celestial Master!"
"It must be one of the Ten Elders! It must be one of the strongest in the world!"
"What I want to destroy is this very sky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, from the opponents on the stage to the audience, became excited.
"Holy crap! I never expected Zhang Chulan to be such a domineering person!"
"Truly worthy of being the inheritor of the Qi Body Source Stream!"
"His aura is unmatched by any other young person!"
"Go Zhang Chulan!"
At first, everyone cheered for Zhang Chulan, but as the competition progressed, especially after Zhang Chulan defeated Xiao Yan who was recuperating, public opinion turned against him.
"WTF!"
"shameless!"
"Shameless!"
Luke burst out laughing when he saw this, "Hahaha...that's hilarious!"
This on-site experience is completely different from what you see on TV!
The atmosphere is amazing!
Feng Zhenghao also had a smile on his face, clearly not expecting Zhang Chulan to do such a thing. However, unlike others who only saw Zhang Chulan's shamelessness, Feng Zhenghao clearly saw something deeper.
"Xiao Lu, what do you think of Zhang Chulan?"
Luke stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Zhang Chulan's strength isn't that great, but he's quick-witted. Actually, he's quite talented, but he's wasted too much time over the years. Otherwise, he should be stronger, at least not below Zhang Lingyu."
According to Feng Zhenghao's speculation in the original work, Zhang Chulan has at least a ten-year gap between his relationships.
Even so, he is still one of the best among the younger generation, and he even defeated Zhang Lingyu in the final of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony in the original novel.
Although Zhang Lingyu was given a shortcut pill by the Celestial Master at that time, this drug would only take effect when Zhang Lingyu decided to use his full strength.
Zhang Chulan, who had a ten-year hiatus, needed Zhang Lingyu to use all her strength to defeat him, which shows Zhang Chulan's talent.
Feng Zhenghao looked at Luke with surprise and said, "Few young people think like this. You are quite different from other young people."
Luke said calmly, "People are sometimes blinded by a leaf, only seeing what they want to see, while ignoring other things. Zhang Chulan's behavior is less about being shameless and more about strategy. It's what military strategy calls feigning weakness, keeping one's skills hidden until the right time. Perhaps Zhang Chulan felt the time wasn't right yet. Besides, I'm not the only one who saw this. Many people could see it, but they were unwilling to accept this behavior deep down. In other words, they valued face too much."
Luke has never cared much about face; it's something you can't eat or drink. Don't equate face with dignity; that's something more important.
