Chapter 416: Chapter 416: When Kings Meet
Sister Hong learned that Feng Jun had gone into closed-door cultivation and didn’t care about the scorching weather, she went straight to the cultivation site.
Before she entered the valley, she was stopped by Xu Leigang. “Sister Hong, you can’t go any further.”
Seeing that he was there too, Sister Hong finally believed that Feng Jun was in the valley below, so she asked curiously, “What is he doing in this closed-door cultivation?”
Well, Xu Leigang was stumped, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and replied, “He’s cultivating, hasn’t he told you?”
In Sister Hong’s mind, the words “practicing yoga” immediately sprang up. After a moment of shock, she spoke nonchalantly, “Oh, besides him, who else is there?”
“Only him by himself,” Xu Leigang spread his hands, thinking to himself that Sister Hong knows that more than one person can cultivate together? “The master’s level is now so strong, how could there possibly be someone else present when he needs to go into closed-door cultivation?”
Oh, so this cultivation is not the same as that one! Sister Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed a bit, “When will it end?”
Xu Leigang chuckled bitterly inside, “Today is only the first day… His own estimate is around fifteen days.”
After chatting for a while, Sister Hong then found out that Feng Jun was actually cultivating in the dense bamboo forest, and during these fifteen days, he wouldn’t eat or drink until the cultivation was over.
Is this why he is known as a master?
She still wanted to know more, but Fatty Xu was very tight-lipped, always fobbing her off with “you can ask him later.”
In fact, Sister Hong’s appearance was Feng Jun’s oversight. Recently, he had been practicing yoga with Feng Jing a lot, while Director Mei was quite reserved, usually only coming to Luohua Manor after his invitation.
Feng Jun had also invited Sister Hong to the manor, but after many days without any response from her, he subconsciously assumed that he would still need to take the initiative to invite her again next time for her to come to the manor.
These last few days, all his thoughts were focused on advancing levels, and he really hadn’t paid attention to this little detail.
Sister Hong was truly curious now. Cultivation is the kind of thing you wouldn’t believe unless you saw it with your own eyes.
But Feng Jun had gone into closed-door cultivation silently, and with Xu Lei and Wang Haifeng helping to guard, this whole thing didn’t look fake at all—not just a tycoon like him, ordinary people wouldn’t be so idle either.
So she waited doggedly until the sun set and stayed until it got dark, realizing that Feng Jun indeed had no intention of coming out for dinner, she left in disgruntlement, deciding to come back tomorrow—she didn’t live on the manor grounds and had to go back to stay in Zhengyang.
Once Sister Hong set her mind to something, she was very persistent.
Wang Haifeng, being more familiar with her, quietly advised her, “If you’re coming tomorrow, it’s best to come earlier. Tell the guards at the gate and come over as soon as it gets light.”
Thus, on the next day, Sister Hong witnessed the terrifying spiritual energy vortex for herself.
This phenomenon completely shattered her old understanding of the world, leading her to reflect whether this guy was really some sort of remarkable master that she had underestimated all along.
Then she recalled those embarrassing yoga poses, and a realization dawned upon her: Could it be… that was also a form of cultivation?
No wonder there was a pleasure that seemed to penetrate deep into the bones and even the soul after cultivating.
Having realized this, she still made some changes, Like thinking… that staying in a guest room in the manor wasn’t too bad.
That very night, she intended to treat the two assistants and the three of them to dinner, casually deciding to stay over—if the three of them couldn’t leave, she could have the meals sent to them.
However, unfortunately, it was Friday, also the weekend.
When Sister Hong got back to the villa, she suddenly discovered an extra woman there, Assistant Xiao Li called her Teacher Mei.
When two beautiful and mature women met, they could instinctively sense that the other’s relationship with him… was probably not ordinary.
This was a woman’s intuition.
Li Shishi was also a bit overwhelmed because she had stayed in the outer room of the suite when both women were with President Feng.
So she could only brave it out and introduce them to each other.
She would have been better off not introducing them, because as soon as Sister Hong heard her own introduction as “President Feng’s business partner,” she understood the meaning—Am I just Feng Jun’s business partner? That day, you almost couldn’t wait to climb into our bed.
So now, by saying it this way, are you trying to hide something?
Similarly, Feng Jing, upon hearing she was only Li Shishi’s “music teacher,” knew what was going on.
But she didn’t really care. As a married woman, she had no right to make demands of Feng Jun. As long as the woman across from her didn’t make things difficult for her, she wouldn’t fuss about much.
She kept a low profile, and Sister Hong didn’t seem to have any intention of taking the offensive—an uncommon occurrence for someone known to be so assertive in the business world.
Yet Sister Hong still asked, “How did you and Feng Jun meet?”
Feng Jing answered with great tact, truly like someone from within the system, “He likes traveling, and so do I, that’s how we met.”
Sister Hong, being street-smart, upon hearing the way the other spoke, knew that further communication would be pointless. So she turned her gaze to Li Shishi, “Assistant Li, book two guest rooms for me, I’m staying here tonight.”
Li Shishi blinked, expressing with difficulty, “I can only open rooms in the front building, but the front and back buildings are pretty much the same.”
“If it’s the front building, then front building it is,” Sister Hong didn’t like to cause trouble for the junior staff.
She had thought that this matter should be let go, but unexpectedly, after the music from downstairs stopped, she saw from the window that the music teacher actually moved into the back building.
Sister Hong was annoyed once again and went straight downstairs to find Li Shishi, “Why can she live in the back building?”
Li Shishi owed her job to the wonderful scenery, and in her heart, Teacher Mei’s status was even more important than that of Sister Hong, so all she could do was spread her hands, “To live in the back building… President Feng’s permission is required. Teacher Mei has a key given by President Feng.”
Sister Hong paused, a smile creeping across her lips, and without another word, she turned and went upstairs.
If Wang Haifeng had been there, he would have known that this smile definitely didn’t signify happiness.
Early the next morning, Sister Hong got up and went to see the strange sight over the bamboo forest once more.
When it was a little past eight o’clock, she heard someone exclaim behind her, “Eh, what happened here?”
It was Feng Jing who had arrived, not because she had learned of the spectacle here—in fact, even Li Shishi was unaware of what had happened here. She had come over to enjoy the tranquility of the bamboo forest.
She certainly hadn’t expected such an extraordinary sight, “Gazi, what happened here?”
Gazi, thinking that Brother Jun was closer to Feng Jing than to Sister Hong, answered directly, “Brother Jun is cultivating.”
Feng Jing blinked, “So now I can’t go into the bamboo forest below?”
Sister Hong, hearing this, felt a fire ignite within her: I only just found out about the bamboo forest underneath, and you already know about it?
Gazi chuckled naively, “It’s really inconvenient.”
“Then there’s really nothing fun here,” Feng Jing said with disappointment, pouting her lips slightly, “The bamboo forest is the only interesting place.”
In truth, she was very curious about the large white vortex, what it actually was, but she didn’t want to ask in front of Sister Hong—she would wait until Brother Jun’s cultivation was over to ask him instead.
Have you played everywhere here? Sister Hong felt increasingly uncomfortable inside, “The manor has a yacht, which is quite nice. In such hot weather, it’s cooler on the big river.”
“I’ve played it a few times,” Feng Jing answered nonchalantly, “It’s too hot during the day, it’s better to go at night.”
Sister Hong clenched her teeth secretly, barely holding back the urge to ask: Have you tried yoga?
Yesterday, she had found out that there was a yacht at Feng Jun’s place, and she wanted to show off a little, but she didn’t expect to get such a response.
Thinking further, he bought the yacht only after coming to Luohua Manor, and she felt somewhat relieved.
During this time, she had been at odds with Feng Jun, and never thought that someone else would take advantage of the situation.
Taking advantage of the situation was always better than betrayal. Moreover, with that guy’s age and looks, plus lots of money, he was definitely worth the gamble for most women, like a moth to a flame.
Even her own sister had fallen for him, hadn’t she?
Thinking of Cai Xin, Sister Hong felt sick again, and without giving it much thought, she glanced at Feng Jing and asked casually, “What exactly is your relationship with him?”
Feng Jing looked at her with a strange expression and responded expressionlessly, “Friends.”
I knew it, people like you always speak so evasively, Sister Hong thought irritably. She wanted to say something but ended up forcibly holding back.
Feng Jing didn’t look at her but said to Gazi, “When he comes out, have him give me a call.”
“Alright,” Lu Xiaoning nodded. This was the only woman Brother Jun had brought to the back yard, so he felt confident making this promise for Brother Jun.
But Sister Hong was nearly bursting with anger: How presumptuous could this little brat be? Expecting Feng Jun to call her?
She, the madam, had been waiting for him for several months, and that guy hadn’t bothered to call her!
Then, she smiled faintly at the other party, “Could Teacher Mei give me a business card? I have a few friends’ children who are also looking for a music teacher.”
Feng Jing had long sensed her malice because of having such a mother-in-law at home, she was very wary, so she smiled apologetically, “I charge a lot, and I’m picky with my students.”
This answer had quite a high air, but Sister Hong was no less, indicating nonchalantly, “Money is not an issue. As for being picky with students… you could meet them first, try your hand before talking.”
Feng Jing became even more cautious, “You can tell Feng Jun about it, and let him contact me.”
After saying that, she left gracefully—this woman was a bit dangerous, but Feng Jun should be able to handle it, right?
Sister Hong wasn’t very happy the entire day, until after dinner when she saw Feng Jing drive away.
——It seems she’s not in the mood to compete with me, otherwise, she wouldn’t leave at ten o’clock at night.
But since she lives in the back building and has a key, and also knows the bamboo forest well… this was clearly a problem.
Five days later, on the next Thursday, the sky was overcast, and there was a faint fog above the valley, while the vortex above had already shrunk to a size of about fifteen or sixteen meters three days earlier.
At some point, the vortex quietly and silently vanished.
