Chapter 42: The Marquis's Manor

  The training ground of Paul College was crowded with people at this time. At this moment, whether it was old students or new students, they had all arrived here. The expressions of the old students were excited, and the faces of the new students were even more filled with unparalleled excitement. They were now loudly discussing topics about Lin Feng. Some new students were even asking the old students to describe Lin Feng's appearance. They all wanted to figure out what this Lin Feng, who could stand on his fists and walk horses on his arms, looked like.

  But these students did not know that the protagonist in their mouths had already left Paul College, and except for Lin Feng, none of Alpha's three people plus Annie appeared on this training ground.

  Dean Robert and the new student chief coach Old Bate were sitting in a luxurious box on the high platform, looking at the students below who were loudly discussing, intentionally or unintentionally chatting about some irrelevant topics.

  But Robert's gaze was wandering among the crowd - apparently, he was looking for something.

  "Strange, strange, Brother Bate, have you seen Annie and Lin Feng?"

  Robert looked around for the two of them while saying something to Old Barte beside him.

  Old Barte furrowed his brow, carefully searching the crowd for a while before subconsciously shaking his head: "I didn't see... Sir, this ceremony is so lively because of that Lin Feng kid. Miss Annie might still be reeling from her defeat and doesn't want to see Lin Feng shine, so she didn't attend the ceremony."

  "This I know." Robert nodded: "But Lin Feng, as the protagonist of this ceremony, has not appeared until now. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

  "Let's wait a bit longer, sir. This young man is fond of being late. He was also late when he dueled with Miss Annie last time." Old Barte said, seeing Robert's suspicious expression.

  Robert nodded and didn't say anything more.

  ……

  At this time, in the dormitory of Lin Feng and others, Alfa's three people were sitting on their beds, each with a frown, and Alfa's face was even more annoyed.

  "Alfa, your family doesn't agree with you leaving Paul College, what did you... What are we going to do next?" Bill broke the silence.

  "Alas, I don't know either." Alpha sighed, and the sense of crisis in his heart grew stronger: "Anyway, we can't just sit here waiting to die. I have a feeling that Lin Feng's trip this time... isn't going to be good."

  "Yes, I've known Lin Feng's character since he was a child. With the attitude of old steward Xi Li towards him, I'm afraid that this time when he sees his father..." Bill didn't continue speaking, his face looked somewhat anxious, but he had no way to do anything about it.

  He has been living with his mother in the old house since he was a child, and the Marquis doesn't know him at all. Although he has a proper identity as a young marquis, it's only superficial. Regi doesn't have any of the power that comes with it, otherwise, he wouldn't have to come to Paul Academy on his own initiative, hoping for the Marquis to notice his existence.

  But Mali lowered her head, hugging Lin Feng's bundle, and rubbed her hands nervously as she looked at the two people sighing in unison. She opened her mouth but didn't dare say anything.

  Suddenly, Bill, who was just sitting on the bed, gritted his teeth and stood up with a "whoosh" sound: "No way, I'm going to find a way to climb over the wall, I have to get out. Now everyone is at the training ground for the entrance ceremony, the defense in other places shouldn't be very strong..."

  With that, Bill hastily rushed out of the door.

  "Bill, don't be impulsive!" Alpha grabbed him ahead of time: "The college wall is more than 10 meters high. Even if the three of us stack up, we're not even half as tall as the wall. How are you going to get out? And if you're discovered, you'll be expelled from college forever. What will you do then?"

  Bill was taken aback immediately.

  "Alas!"

  Bill let out a sigh, his expression somewhat complicated, and a feeling of powerlessness immediately rose up in his heart: In order to get the Marquis' attention, he had finally become an official member of Paul's school after passing the assessment with great difficulty. Of course, he was not willing to give up this precious opportunity, but thinking that Lin Feng might rush into action, a hint of annoyance floated up in his heart: "What should we do then!?"

  "I don't know either, but you mustn't be impulsive!" Alfa sighed and said: "It seems that now we can only pray for Lin Feng, may the God of Light bless him to return safely..."

  After saying this sentence, the room suddenly returned to calmness again.

  But right now, Mali, who had been quietly sitting on the bed all along, finally lifted her head. She looked at the two of them with a timid gaze, opened her mouth, and finally said: "I... I have an idea..."

  ……

  Paul College is not far from the Marquis's mansion in the Imperial Capital. Before long, Mark brought Lin Feng to the front of the Marquis's mansion, and under the leadership of Mark's guard captain, Lin Feng quickly entered the study within the Marquis's mansion.

  To be honest, from the moment he stepped into the Marquis's mansion, Lin Feng felt a sense of elegance and refinement. Along the small paths in the large courtyard, there were some flowers and grasses that Lin Feng couldn't name, and several maidservants were carefully pruning them. The scene looked extremely harmonious.

  In the middle of the courtyard, there is a fake mountain with flowing water, and in some corners of the mountain, there are even some green moss. From a distance, it immediately gives Lin Feng a fresh feeling.

  The scene of the artificial hill and the maid trimming flowers and grass perfectly blended together, involuntarily bringing up a different kind of warmth in one's heart.

  As Marquis Shouwei led Lin Feng to the study, Lin Feng felt a strong sense of tranquility, watching the maids and servants flit about the manor, quietly attending to their duties. Lin Feng finally understood the kind of peace and harmony that true nobles enjoyed.

  In this way, under the envelopment of this feeling, Lin Feng finally arrived at the book room in Marquis's manor.

  The marquis's study was exceptionally luxurious, and in some inconspicuous corners of the bookshelves, gems with deep colors but not dazzling were inlaid. A piece of ancient copper color seemed to silently narrate the sedimentation of years. Lin Feng saw it in his eyes, and his heart inexplicably calmed down.

  As soon as he stepped into the study, Lin Feng suddenly felt a sense of illusion, as if at this moment, the bustling scene outside was forever blocked out by the quietness of the room.

  Mark glanced at Lin Feng, who was dazed and distracted, with a hint of sinister intent in his eyes, but his face didn't show anything. He just said calmly: "Please let Mr. Lin rest here for a while, I'll go report to the Marquis now."

  Mark finished speaking and saw Lin Feng nodding, then went down to close the door. At this time, there was only one person left in the entire study room, which was Lin Feng.

  After Marquis Shuai's departure, Lin Feng's originally calm mood suddenly surged up again. As the son of a marquis, shouldn't he be able to enjoy this kind of treatment?

  But because his mother was only a maid, he didn't enjoy any treatment and almost starved to death on the streets...

  At this moment, Lin Feng's heart was extremely depressed, but he knew that now was not the time to be impulsive!
