Chapter 301: The Influence of a Sage

Swoosh.

Everyone was shocked. Even the atmosphere in the entire hotel became heated.

It’s a Sage. Why would a Sage come?

However, when they saw the young distinguished guest led by Zhang Qiji, they all simmered with excitement.

It’s Sage Lin Feng, the tenth Sage of humanity!

There had been overwhelming publicity about Lin Feng’s deeds only some time ago. Almost everyone knew about it. Hence, when they saw Lin Feng arrive, they were certain that a Sage had really arrived.

Were Sage Lin Feng and Zhang Qiji so close?

Seeing Zhang Qiji call him “Brother Feng”, everyone was dumbfounded. Some mindful people even knew that Zhang Qiji and the Zhang family were going to rise to the top.

There was no need for Lin Feng to say anything. Just Lin Feng’s act of personally attending Zhang Qiji’s wedding was enough.

The Zhang and Bai families looked at each other in dismay. Those who had opposed the marriage between Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing were all dumbfounded.

But soon, they became excited.

That was Sage Lin Feng, a great Sage who stood at the peak of humanity! Moreover, he was related to their Zhang family. Even a little relation was nothing to sneeze at.

How formidable was the influence of a Sage?

“Who’d have thought that Zhang Qiji could be so close to Sage Lin Feng? Lin Feng even specially came to congratulate Zhang Qiji. This… is simply a blessing for our Zhang family!”

“I’ve long heard that Sage Lin Feng came from the Myriad Academy. Didn’t it happen around the same time Zhang Qiji entered the Myriad Academy? It’s really possible that they met inside and became friends.”

“Alas, Qiji is really something. He’s so close to Sage Lin Feng. Why didn’t he say anything? If we had known about this relationship sooner, so what if we offended the Legate? The Zhang family has nothing to fear!”

“Heh, that’s not what you said previously. If Zhang Qiji takes the initiative to say that he’s related to Sage Lin Feng, you’d probably think that Zhang Qiji is crazy, right?”

“That’s…”

The Zhang family was a little embarrassed, but this did not affect their excitement.

No matter how disappointed they were with Zhang Qiji before, Zhang Qiji was still a member of the Zhang family. Moreover, it was very likely that he would take over the entire Zhang family. With this relationship with Sage Lin Feng on top, wouldn’t the Zhang family rise rapidly in Delta and directly become one of the top wealthy families?

Everyone in the Zhang family could benefit from this. Why would they not be supportive?

“I think the Third Young Master of the Zhang family is very hostile towards Zhang Qiji. He should be transferred out of Delta City as soon as possible.”

“That’s right. I also think that we can’t allow the family to turn against each other. We have to take precautions.”

“We have to make a trade-off. The Third Young Master of the Zhang family is so vile despite his youth. We can’t allow the unity of our Zhang family to be destroyed for only his sake.”

Seeing the people who had supported the Third Young Master of the Zhang family turn their backs on him one after another, the Third Young Master’s face was ashen, but there was not a single trace of anger. He knew that as soon as Sage Lin Feng arrived today, he had lost. He had lost completely, without any capability to resist.

Even the Legate he had invited had already taken the initiative to welcome Sage Lin Feng, and with such a humble attitude too.

This was not just the case for the Zhang family, but also the Bai family. Previously, they had thought that Old Master Bai was too stubborn, and Bai Jing was too foolish. But now that they saw Zhang Qiji leading Sage Lin Feng into the hotel in high spirits, their attitudes immediately made a turnabout.

“Old Master is the one with good judgment. The older, the wiser!”

“Of course. Otherwise, how could Old Master build such a huge business from scratch?”

“Bai Jing has acute judgment too. Zhang Qiji is a talented man, and the redemption of a prodigal son is invaluable. Moreover, Zhang Qiji has such a relationship with Sage Lin Feng. As long as Zhang Qiji is still alive, the Zhang family will be one of the top families in Delta!”

“In the future, even if our Bai family doesn’t work with the military anymore, we can still live affluently. We were really too foolish. We actually urged Bai Jing to break up with Zhang Qiji. That was really… Luckily, Bai Jing persevered.”

“Heh, compared to Zhang Qiji, even the Legate is nothing.”

When these words of the Bai family reached Old Master Bai’s ears, he could only shake his head helplessly. How could he expect these people to take over the Bai family’s assets? He’d rather donate all of Bai family’s assets.

However, Old Master Bai was also very gratified. The reason he agreed to Zhang Qiji being with Bai Jing was that he was touched by Zhang Qiji’s sincerity. He was very good at reading people. Zhang Qiji had really turned over a new leaf.

As for the objections of the others, he paid no heed to them at all. As an ambitious and driven person who had built his business empire from scratch, Old Master Bai hardly lacked the decisiveness for it.

However, Old Master Bai had indeed been under a lot of pressure previously. Now that Zhang Qiji was able to “counterattack” and silence those who had made thoughtless remarks before, Old Master Bai was very gratified as well.

Lin Feng came to Old Master Bai’s table. There were originally others, but they all left of their own initiative, leaving only Old Master Bai and Zhang Qiji’s father.

“Old Master Bai, do you still remember me?” Lin Feng asked with a smile.

“I do. Sage Lin Feng. Back then, you accepted the academy’s mission to protect the Bai family. In the end, it was you who killed Long Weiping and saved the Bai family!”

“Old Master has a good memory.”

Zhang Qiji’s father did not know that Lin Feng had such a relationship with the Bai family. However, compared to Old Master Bai, he was much more nervous in front of Lin Feng.

After all, the Lin Feng in front of him was already a Sage. He knew better than anyone the weight of a prestigious Sage. Apart from people who were especially familiar with Lin Feng, or true ambitious and powerful people like Old Master Bai, who could talk and laugh with Lin Feng so casually?

“Sage Lin Feng, you’ve really given Qiji and Bai Jing a lot of face by coming all the way here to attend Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing’s wedding.”

Old Master Bai’s tone was a little emotional. Although he had also thought that Lin Feng was quite impressive back then, the most he had thought was that Lin Feng could break the genetic lock. Who knew that Lin Feng could reach his current level in just a year or two?

“Old Master, speaking of which, I still owe Qiji a favor. I’ll naturally come for a major event like his wedding!”

Lin Feng looked around. Actually, he had felt that the atmosphere in the hotel was a little off just now. However, he did not ask Zhang Qiji, because it was meaningless.

The moment he came here and expressed his closeness to Zhang Qiji, whatever trouble Zhang Qiji had faced would likely be resolved.

This was the influence of a Sage!

Since he owed Zhang Qiji a favor back then, Lin Feng did not mind helping Zhang Qiji out. Moreover, doing this favor was very easy for Lin Feng.
