Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 27: Lin Feng’s Stupefaction

"Hey!"

"Friend!"

"Just enjoy your wine. Why are you glancing at your transmission jade token? Is there something lacking in Jiang's hospitality?"

Jiang Xingtai playfully chided the man when he noticed him wanting to inspect his transmission jade token.

Such occurrences.

He had already experienced them numerous times before.

So much so that the message of Lin Feng requesting to meet Du Bailei was interrupted just like that!

By this point, a substantial amount of wine had been consumed.

Meanwhile, the cultivators of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce remained preoccupied with preparations for the trade fair, having no intention of partaking in further libations.

"Patriarch Jiang!"

"You truly are the most spirited individual I've ever encountered. If not for the trade fair today, I would certainly indulge in three days and nights of revelry with you!"

"Regrettably, time is pressing, and the trade fair is about to commence. Let us reconvene for a drink on another occasion, shall we?"

One of the vice presidents of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce expressed his admiration for Jiang Xingtai.

Without delay.

The others rose to their feet, and one by one, they exchanged parting words to conclude the drinking session.

"Ah, very well!"

Jiang Xingtai nodded reluctantly and inquired, "So, how did the appraisal competition unfold? I still have the rewards here to distribute!"

"The appraisal competition never took place!"

"A young man named Lin Feng unexpectedly appraised three items all by himself."

"Patriarch Jiang, perhaps you could offer him some valuable rewards and see if he might be enticed to join the Jiang Clan, haha."

The vice president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce chuckled, then glanced at the transmission jade token. Abruptly, his expression shifted. "What? This Lin Feng claims he can cure the president's post-Qi deviation syndrome!"

"What!?"

"Could this be a hoax? This Lin Feng is likely still a young man who hasn't even fully matured; how could he possibly cure the president's post-Qi deviation syndrome?"

"Indeed, numerous renowned alchemists have failed to cure the president; what makes this Lin Feng believe he can succeed?"

"Regardless, I refuse to accept such a claim. Let's not allow him to disrupt the president's recuperation."

"..."

The members of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce exhibited scorn and contempt towards Lin Feng.

"Well..."

"The president has suffered from illness for many years, and we cannot afford to overlook any opportunity."

"This Lin Feng is confident and has successfully appraised three treasures that have eluded identification for years. Why not allow him to attempt a cure? If he fails, we won't lose much either."

After contemplating the matter, the vice president's concern for the president overrode his skepticism, and he voiced his thoughts.

"Since the vice president has expressed his support, I concur as well!"

"Indeed, let Lin Feng have a try. If he dupes us, we'll ensure he learns his lesson!"

"..."

The cultivators of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce chimed in one after another, adeptly altering their stance to suit the circumstances.

'It appears that this matter can no longer be delayed.'

'My dear nephew, your uncle has done his utmost. I hope I can assist you in some manner.'

Jiang Xingtai reflected inwardly.

Concerning Lin Feng, in truth, ever since Jiang Chen highlighted his extraordinary talents, Jiang Xingtai gradually recognized his potential.

This Lin Feng certainly possessed secrets!

Though Jiang Xingtai harbored reservations about Jiang Chen's motives, he set them aside and opted to place his trust in him.

Families of the villains were typically quite close-knit and maintained profound relationships with one another. If the protagonist harmed or killed one of their members, they would bear a deep grudge. Consequently, the elder generations would avenge the younger ones, ultimately leading to the complete annihilation of the entire family, leaving nothing in their wake.

Jiang Chen's family also embodied this tightly-bound nature.

Jiang Xingtai held his nephew, Jiang Chen, in the highest esteem and placed immense trust in him...

Returning to the matter at hand.

Seated at a table in a room, Lin Feng leisurely sipped his tea.

All of a sudden,

"We have a response!"

"The vice president has instructed me to escort you to meet the president. He's currently conveying the message to the president!"

Lai Peng declared to Lin Feng, his face brimming with enthusiasm.

"Let's proceed!"

Lin Feng gave a curt nod and rose to his feet.

Without delay,

The duo exited the room and made their way to the third floor.

Simultaneously,

Within a tranquil chamber on the third floor,

"Could this be the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss!?"

"It appears quite peculiar. Who would have thought that this piece of flesh is in fact a type of moss-like spiritual plant?"

Ning Xian gazed at the purple-red 'flesh' held in Jiang Chen's hand, her curiosity piqued. She then attempted to prod it with her delicate jade finger.

"Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss!"

"It truly is the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss!"

Qiu Liaoxi cried out in exhilaration, "After studying alchemy for so many years, I finally get to witness the genuine article!"

Naturally, Du Bailei was even more thrilled!

"It is indeed the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss!"

"This really is the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss!"

"My goodness, I'm saved! I can at last break free from that fiend's grasp!"

"..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Du Bailei trembled as if he had been given a new lease on life.

At that moment,

His transmission jade token started to vibrate.

However, instead of attending to his transmission jade token, Du Bailei charged towards Jiang Chen, his eyes bloodshot and fixated on him:

"Young friend Jiang Chen, you must grant me this Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss. I am prepared to pay any price!"

"President Du, you are being too earnest!"

"Since I have presented this Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss, it is only natural that I plan to give it to you!"

"Of course, there will be a cost involved; if I were to offer it for free, you might not feel at ease utilizing it."

"As for the specific compensation President Du will provide, we can negotiate that later. I won't make it exorbitant, so as not to cause undue difficulty for President Du."

Jiang Chen's face radiated a warm and reassuring smile.

At that instant,

[Ding! You have successfully altered the plot, preventing protagonist Lin Feng from showcasing his prowess and causing him to miss his opportunity. Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate Value has diminished by 300 points!]

[Ding! You have acquired 500 points of Villain Value!]

Two system notifications echoed in Jiang Chen's mind, making his smile even more genuine.

This heartfelt expression,

Stirred a subtle emotion within Ning Xian, who stood beside him, leading her to recognize that Jiang Chen was indeed an honest and compassionate individual.

Following that,

Amidst Du Bailei's fervor and eagerness,

Jiang Chen passed the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss to him.

"Marvelous, simply marvelous!"

"Young friend Jiang Chen, your immense benevolence is indescribable, and you are generous enough to offer me such a scarce treasure. I..."

Du Bailei was nearly brought to tears, but fortunately, he still possessed the capacity to manage his emotions. He promptly suppressed his surging excitement.

"President Du,"

"The most pressing matter now is to eliminate the Swallowing Body Snatching Soul Grass. We can discuss the rest later!"

Jiang Chen's face beamed with smiles as he firmly gripped Du Bailei's hand.

"Understood!"

"I will remove the Swallowing Body Snatching Soul Grass right away!"

"Alchemist Qiu, could you please instruct me on the specific application of the Melting Miasma Fleshy Moss?"

Du Bailei nodded emphatically, then turned to Qiu Liaoxi.

"Of course!"

"President Du, do this... and then this..."

Qiu Liaoxi promptly commenced guiding Du Bailei.

Simultaneously,

At the staircase on the third floor,

"What?"

"We're not permitted entry?!"

"The vice president informed us that we could visit the president!"

Lai Peng gazed at the guard who halted him and Lin Feng, his expression brimming with disbelief.

"I apologize."

The guard who stopped them offered a smile as he apologized. "I haven't obtained any directives from the president as of yet..."

"In that case!"

"I'll contact the vice president immediately!"

Lai Peng opened his mouth and then produced a transmission jade token to consult with the vice president.

Ultimately,

The response they obtained indicated that the vice president had not received any communication from the president either. It seemed that an urgent matter had arisen, so they were requested to wait a bit longer.

Lin Feng furrowed his brow at this information, but had no choice other than to wait.

Time trickled by.

After roughly half an hour, Lai Peng finally obtained another transmission from the vice president.

Upon reading the message,

"The president's lingering issues have been resolved!"

Lai Peng's eyes widened as he exclaimed with sheer elation, "He was undergoing treatment earlier! No wonder he didn't have time to respond to us!"

"What?!"

"The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce president has been healed by someone!?"

Lin Feng gazed at Lai Peng in astonishment, struggling to believe what he had just heard!
