Chapter Thirty-Seven: Identity Exposed
"Come in, come on..."
Lin Feng swallowed hard and his emotions became somewhat tense after hearing the voice, as if he was expecting something or suspecting something.
But the person outside the house did not immediately push open the door after hearing Lin Feng's voice, but hesitated for a moment, as if he was also stunned by Lin Feng's voice.
Alfa heard that Lin Feng's voice was somewhat unnatural at this time, but before he could ask, the door was pushed open in response.
Squeak
In Lin Feng's eyes, the moment the door opened, time seemed to freeze. Looking at the familiar figure standing in front of him, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement inside. He unconsciously took two steps forward and asked hesitantly: "You... are you 'Bill'?"
"Lin Feng?"
The person in front of the house was dressed luxuriously, with a hint of childishness on his square face, looking like he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He heard Lin Feng call out his name and subconsciously shouted out Lin Feng's name as well.
"Brother, it's really you! This is great!!"
The next moment, before Alpha and Mali could react, Lin Feng and Bill in front of the house rushed towards each other in big strides, then hugged each other tightly, and at the same time, loud and clear laughter came out of their mouths.
Alfa furrowed his brow, seriously sizing up the young man named Bill. He was dressed in luxurious attire, clearly a noble, but why did Lin Feng call him "brother"? Lin Feng... wasn't he just a commoner?
In an instant, countless doubts surged up from the bottom of Alpha's heart.
"Brother, I knew you would come to Paul College, but I really didn't expect that you would be assigned to the same dormitory as me, this is great!"
Lin Feng happily let go of Bill in his arms and pushed him to Alpha and Mali's side: "Brother, let me introduce you. This is the eldest son of the Imperial Capital Duke Sak, 'Alpha', and this is 'Mali'."
"Alfa, Mali, hello, I am Earl of the Imperial City's son 'Bill', nice to meet you."
Bill revealed a warm smile and politely introduced himself to Alpha and Mali.
"Hello, Lin Feng has introduced me earlier, so I won't introduce myself." Alpha returned Bill's courtesy, but his eyes shifted to Lin Feng, opening his mouth in puzzlement: "Lin Feng, what's going on here?"
Alfa clearly knew that in the entire empire, there was only one marquis, and that was Regi's father, his own father's political enemy - Marquis Carson!
He wasn't surprised by Bill's identity, after all, everyone knew about the Marquis' philandering ways. What he found surprising was Lin Feng's way of addressing Bill as "brother". What's going on? Could it be that Lin Feng is also a son of the Marquis? But if he were indeed the Marquis' son, how could he have a commoner's status? And... wasn't the Regi he had just disciplined his brother?
At this moment, Alfa felt that his brain was not enough!
"What's going on?" Bill asked aimlessly.
As for Mali, although he didn't say a word, his face also showed a puzzled expression.
"Alas—"
Lin Feng let out a long sigh, his face revealing a hint of disappointment. He turned around and closed the door, then walked to his bed and sat down under the increasingly puzzled gazes of the three people. After thinking quietly for a moment, he said softly: "Everyone come over, I'll tell you something..."
When the three of them sat down beside Lin Feng's bed with different doubts, Lin Feng began to slowly tell his own story...
The three listeners were very serious, Bill was silent, while Mali bit her lip tightly, as Lin Feng slowly revealed his identity, Alpha's face began to change strangely.
And so I arrived at Paul's College, famous throughout the Empire...
In the process, Lin Feng concealed the fact that he was a magician and casually found an excuse to get past it, because he knew that in the eyes of the three, a high-ranking magician would not deign to be a warrior. As for these things, Lin Feng did not want to waste his breath explaining, plus the three did not understand the matter of "electricity", so Lin Feng concealed it together. As for other matters, Lin Feng told the truth.
When he finished saying this, he shifted his gaze to Alpha, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Alpha, the reason I scolded Regi wasn't entirely because of you. Most of it was because I felt unfair seeing a brother who enjoys the treatment of an orthodox noble yet acts like a standard idiot."
After saying this, Lin Feng stared tightly at Alpha. From the beginning, he didn't want to let Alpha misunderstand him, but he also didn't want to reveal his identity, so there was no way for him to explain it to Alpha until now, when Bill's arrival forced his true identity to be exposed, and that's why he revealed his real identity.
And now, after revealing his true identity, the first thing he wants to see is Alfa's attitude!
Alfa's furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and instead of a look of disdain in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up into a warm smile: "Lin Feng, thank you for telling me the truth. I can understand you. With your identity, it's indeed not good to let more people know. But don't worry, I will definitely keep this secret for you. Thank you for trusting me like this."
"I won't tell anyone either." Mali hastily added after hearing Alfa's statement.
"I won't either," Bill said finally.
"Thank you all."
Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief, and the next moment, he patted Bill beside him and said seriously: "He is my brother in my hometown, with the identity of an orthodox nobleman. However, he has never looked down on me, this illegitimate child. From childhood, my brother took care of me a lot..."
As he spoke, a warm smile spread across Lin Feng's face. He still remembered when he was very young and whenever he and his mother were met with the cold gaze of the old butler, Hiri, Bill would step forward to scold him. Even during the times when they only had one loaf of bread per day, Bill would secretly bring them some food, otherwise, it would have been really difficult for them to survive on just three loaves of bread a day with his mother alone.
Although Bill and Lin Feng are half-brothers, although Bill's mother has never looked at Lin Feng and his mother with a straight eye, Bill has never had any prejudice against his own younger brother Lin Feng. He took care of him consistently, even when Lin Feng and his mother were driven out of the house, he stepped forward to stop this from happening, only because of pressure from his mother did it not become a big deal.
Lin Feng, apart from being grateful to Bill for these things, also deeply understood that Bill had been a strong-willed person since he was young. Although he was banished to his hometown because his mother did not please the Marquis, he himself had been working hard to cultivate and try to attract the attention of the Marquis in the Imperial Capital.
However, the old house is really too far from the bustling imperial capital, and Bill's relationship with the old steward is not very good. Every time the old steward communicates with the marquis, he will definitely not write some good words about Bill.
So, long ago, Lin Feng already knew that Bill would come to Paul College.
And Bill came to Paul College for the purpose of making Marquis notice his existence through this place!!
It can be said that Bill has always been very hardworking, but because of the poor environment around him, he was not noticed by the Marquis. Otherwise, how could that idiot Reggie have been specially cultivated by the Marquis?
It can be said that Lin Feng's reason for teaching Lei Ji a lesson also has some meaning of standing up for his brother.
But what was beyond Lin Feng's expectation was that Bill could share the same dormitory with him!
