Chapter 1023: Chapter 1057: The Spendthrift’s Behavior

“You run here and there every day, never at home. I really want to know what you’re busy with. And, the company has given you many positions, yet you don’t go back. I say, Lin, what’s your excuse? You must give me some kind of explanation, right?”

Nangong Bing looked arrogantly at him, arms crossed, one foot propped on the sofa, adopting an attitude of looking down from above.

“Excuse? What excuse?” Lin Zifeng asked.

“Of course, it’s the reason for your running here and there. After all, you should at least put my mind at ease.” Nangong Bing said confidently.

I’m dizzy…

“Even this needs an excuse?”

Lin Zifeng was frustrated, it was almost one o’clock already, and if he continued chatting with her, he feared that by morning there would be dark circles under her eyes.

“Well then, beloved, I am going to bed now, any issues can be discussed tomorrow.” Lin Zifeng slapped his thigh, ready to get up.

“Hey hey hey, you haven’t answered my question yet?”

“Any issue can wait until I’m back, it’s almost one already, you might not be tired, but I am?” Saying this, to match his tiredness, he stretched lazily in front of Nangong Bing and yawned, acting as if really sleepy.

“Lin Zifeng!”

Suddenly, Nangong Bing shouted softly from behind.

“What is it?” Lin Zifeng turned back to look at her bewildered, at her delicate face.

“No matter what, you have to come back safely.” Nangong Bing softened her gaze, full of tenderness. When she needed to be gentle, she was gentle. When required, she could be coldly beautiful.

Looks like all the time training her wasn’t in vain.

“I just have some matters to attend to, it’s not a life-and-death separation, is all this really necessary?” Lin Zifeng pouted, then turned and walked towards the room upstairs.

Fortunately, Nangong Bing didn’t ask about that melodramatic incident this afternoon, saving Lin Zifeng a lot of worry.

Gazing distantly at the forlorn figure of the man, weird complex emotions flickered in Nangong Bing’s moist autumn eyes.

Now Lin Zifeng had occupied the entire Zhonghai, as he said he was working for the Martial Arts, which was somewhat reassuring.

After entering the room, Lin Zifeng didn’t rest directly, he tightly closed the door, quietly opened the window and continued to circulate the Vital Energy within him to break through the Qi Dao Realm.

This was already his eighth serious attempt, compared to previous advancements, it seemed increasingly difficult.

A whole night, Lin Zifeng was stuck in that subtle feeling, but still couldn’t break through.

This frustrated him greatly, recalling that breaking through realms used to be easy, but this time the challenge was beyond his expectations.

Helplessly, Lin Zifeng could only bury his head in circulating all Vital Energy within him to breach through.

Then tried to communicate with the Magic Bracelet to see if it could help, unfortunately, he still failed.

The Elemental Power within the Magic Bracelet was immense, but with his current cultivation, he simply couldn’t withstand such enormous energy.

Back when he just stepped into the Expelling Realm, the Magic Bracelet only gave him a little Vital Energy. The further his cultivation advanced, the more energy the Magic Bracelet could provide according to his level.

Looks like the Magic Bracelet is indeed quite Spiritual.

Just that it had baffled Lin Zifeng for so long, the secrets of the Magic Bracelet remained elusive to him.

After a whole night of circulation and meditation, though there wasn’t much gain, it did let Lin Zifeng understand one thing, as his cultivation grew stronger, various bottlenecks and shackles emerged later, leading to some obstacles that couldn’t be changed by human efforts.

Without a stroke of luck, some might stay in a certain realm for their lifetime…

Early the next day, after a whole night of meditation and circulation, Lin Zifeng was still at a loss, unable to break through the barrier of the Qi Dao Realm.

Helplessly, he could only leave early to the Martial Arts Alliance to handle a matter vital to him.

At nine thirty in the morning, Lin Zifeng had already been waiting in the Martial Arts Alliance’s meeting room for quite some time, yet didn’t see Old Man Long. This made Lin Zifeng feel the old fellow was deliberately avoiding him.

However, Lin Zifeng wasn’t anxious, since the old man wouldn’t see him, he’d wait in the meeting room anyway, after all, there were lots of Venerable Level Tieguanyin tea that Long Zaitian couldn’t resist drinking. This wasn’t something money alone could buy.

Now Lin Zifeng was drinking one cup, pouring another.

It made the elderly man receiving Lin Zifeng so distressed his eyeballs almost fell out.

“Well, this cup of tea is getting cold, get me a fresh one please.” Lin Zifeng mimicked Long Zaitian’s usual authoritative demeanor.

As Long Zaitian was lurking somewhere keeping an eye on him, Lin Zifeng wanted to see how much longer the old guy could hide.

“Sir, you’ve already had many cups, do you still wish to continue?”

The white-bearded old man was equally defeated by Lin Zifeng.

Coldly, his lips slightly twitched, feeling this guy was here to mess around.

“Drink, why not? Such fine tea isn’t available every day. It’s a rare opportunity to indulge at Old Man Long’s place, I’m already quite contented.” Lin Zifeng smiled.

Since the old man didn’t refill his cup, Lin Zifeng stood up himself, personally poured another cup, took a couple of sips, using it just for rinsing his mouth, then spat it out.

Next, he poured out all the tea leaves from the cup, rebrewed another, poured hot water, and enjoyed the aroma. It seemed he had a unique taste for tea, behaving as though he was a tea connoisseur.

Actually, he was just putting on an act.

The white-bearded old man looked increasingly displeased. This is tea even Long Zaitian wouldn’t waste, and yet being spoiled so casually—it was indeed a heartless young man!

Finally…

Long Zaitian couldn’t hold it anymore.

Absolutely flustered, had been hiding in some corner watching Lin Zifeng for a while.

Seeing his precious tea leaves nearly ruined by this brat.

He truly couldn’t take this reckless spendthrift behavior.

“Haha… Lin, what brings you here to mess around today?”

Despite feeling exasperated at Lin Zifeng and lamenting his tea, Long Zaitian maintained a seemingly kind exterior.

Wearing a benevolent expression, appearing quite radiant.

“Oh, Old Man Long, you’ve finally come, I’ve been waiting so long. Eh? What’s up with you? Your face is a bit blue then red, is your health not well? How about I brew you a cup of tea?” Lin Zifeng chuckled while sipping tea, with gulping sounds that nearly tempted Long Zaitian to slap him.
