Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 242: Seeking Truce

There were a lot of onlookers. After the airship landed, the door opened, and two martial artists, a man and a woman walked out. Judging from their glamorous uniform, they were obviously employees of Deep Blue Corporation.

“Excuse me, is Mr. Lin Feng in the base?”

The man asked the surrounding people.

“Lin Feng?”

“Could it be Lin Feng from the Global Martial Arts Competition?”

“That’s impossible. How can Lin Feng afford such an expensive airship?”

“Heh, he may really be able to afford it! Lin Feng obtained the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition, and he already received a reward of 10,000 merit value. This time, Lin Feng and the others followed Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi here to that secret ruin. How can there not be a reward?”

“That’s right. From the looks of it, it’s really possible that Lin Feng bought it. But it’s such a waste to spend so much merit value to buy an airship. How many resources can one buy in the Martial Domain Network with so much merit value?”

“It’s really too much of a waste. Perhaps all those geniuses don’t understand how difficult it is to earn merit value.”

The martial artists in this secret base did know about that ruin. They also knew that Lin Feng and the others had been brought here by Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi. Perhaps they were here to carry out some secret missions.

However, Lin Feng’s purchase of such a luxurious airship still made them feel that it was too wasteful.

“Hello, I’m Lin Feng!”

Suddenly, a figure walked out of the crowd. It was Lin Feng.

He had actually already seen the airship. Its appearance was indeed very satisfactory to him. The 15-meter-long fuselage was not too huge. It could even be landed in a slightly larger courtyard.

Moreover, arriving and leaving was very convenient.

“Dear Mr. Lin Feng, this is the miniature airship you purchased. We are here to manage the handover procedures for you. Please enter the airship for inspection.”

Lin Feng nodded, then walked into the airship.

The facilities in the airship were indeed luxurious. There was a living room, a virtual cabin, a huge screen, and a projector. There was also a lounge and a luxurious bed.

It really had everything one needed, just like a luxurious hotel.

Although it was said to carry more than ten passengers, in reality, if there was really an emergency, it could carry dozens of people without any issues.

“Mr. Lin Feng, this airship is the latest model of our Deep Blue Company. It’s autonomous. You just need to input the destination, and the airship will arrive autonomously. Moreover, the flight is very stable. Even if you rest on the airship, you wouldn’t be affected at all. If you want to operate it manually and enjoy the joy of piloting, it’s very simple as well. You just need to activate the semi-automatic operation. Even if there’s a mistake in the operation, the system can automatically intervene and adjust the flying posture at any time…”

The female staff member introduced the various functions and operating methods of the airship to Lin Feng in detail.

“Very good. I’m very satisfied.”

Lin Feng was naturally very satisfied, and signed to accept the airship.

“Dear Mr. Lin, thank you very much for purchasing the product of our Deep Blue Corporation. In view of your distinguished status, we present you a Deep Blue Corporation VIP card for enjoying the various services of Deep Blue Corporation.”

Lin Feng put away the VIP card. He might not be able to use it now, but his relatives and friends might be able to use it in the future.

After the two of them left, Lin Feng asked Longbetham, “Longbetham, can you check if there’s anything wrong with this airship?”

Lin Feng would not really just take the two of them at their word. Longbetham must be very familiar with technological products like airships.

Longbetham inspected it for a while and said, “Other than how its positioning will be transmitted to Deep Blue Corporation at all times, there is no problem.”

“Positioning? You mean that the Deep Blue Corporation will know the location of this airship? Doesn’t that mean they’ll know my location in the future?”

“That is right.”

This was a troublesome matter. Deep Blue Corporation might be doing this in consideration of the safety of their customers. If the airship encountered any accidents, they could send aid.

However, Lin Feng still felt somewhat uncomfortable that his location was monitored by someone else.

“Can you cancel the positioning?”

“Of course I can cancel it.”

Longbetham tinkered for a while longer, and finally resolved the issue of positioning. Now, Deep Blue Corporation could no longer monitor the whereabouts of this airship.

“Hmm, not bad. The airship has arrived. It’s time for me to head home too. However, I have to say goodbye to Griman, Fu Lin, and Dardan first.”

Hence, Lin Feng walked out of the airship, found Griman and the others, and bade farewell to the three of them.

Griman and the others could be considered companions who went through life-or-death situations with Lin Feng. Out of the ten people, only the four of them survived. They had a friendship from shared experiences of life-or-death. Hence, the four of them exchanged contact information with each other. Then, Lin Feng left.

After Lin Feng moved all the gifts he had bought for his family onto the airship, he prepared to set off. However, on second thought, he had not been home for a year. He should contact his family first. Otherwise, his homecoming would be more of a shock than a pleasant surprise.

Therefore, he took out his communicator and dialed his father’s number.

…

In the Lin family’s villa, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, as well as Lin Qian, who was on leave, were in the living room.

Today, a special “guest” came to the Lin family villa.

Mr. Lin’s expression was a little dark, but he still said grudgingly, “Mr. Zhao, I’ve already said that we don’t know when Lin Feng will return.”

It turned out that this special “guest” was Zhao Ping’s father, Zhao Beisheng.

Zhao Beisheng had already visited the Lin family’s villa for three consecutive days. He had even stood outside the Lin family’s villa for a full three hours, and could be considered “full of sincerity”.

The Lin family had no choice but to receive Zhao Beisheng.

What was Zhao Beisheng doing in the Lin family? It was very simple. He wanted to seek truce!

That’s right, the Zhao family was afraid, and Zhao Beisheng was afraid. In fact, if Zhao Beisheng had any other method, why would he embarrass himself by coming to the Lin family? Just three days ago, he had personally visited the Lin family, but the Lin family did not open the door, leaving him to stand outside for a full three hours.

Zhao Beisheng almost could not resist flying into a rage, but he did not. He was very forbearing. He knew that the Zhao family was in a very difficult situation now. This time, his eldest brother, Zhao Dongsheng, had given the strict order that they must bow down to the Lin family.

When Lin Feng was just an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist in the past, the Zhao family could still resist it. Both parties were inhuman experts. It’s not like Lin Feng could actually kill Zhao Dongsheng.

As for the Zhao family, they were the family of an inhuman expert. Under the new policy for martial artists, who would dare to make things difficult for them?

However, after Lin Feng shocked the world with a single feat in the Global Martial Arts Competition and obtained first place, the Zhao family could no longer sit still. Zhao Dongsheng even returned personally, just to completely resolve the feud between the Lin and Zhao families.

Of course, if he wanted to resolve the feud between the Lin and Zhao families, he had to discuss it with Lin Feng. Hence, Zhao Beisheng came to the Lin family every day to “harass” them, only because he wanted to know when Lin Feng would return.

Zhao Beisheng stood up and said with a smile, “It’s all right. I’ll visit the Lin family again tomorrow.”

Zhao Beisheng had no choice. He had to bow his head this time. Zhao Dongsheng had even paid a huge price to invite a Divine Realm martial artist to be the mediator.

According to Zhao Dongsheng, Lin Feng had yet to reach the Divine Realm. If the Zhao family invited that Divine Realm martial artist over, they could still pressure Lin Feng. When the time came, both parties would “reconcile”. Even if Lin Feng became a Divine Realm martial artist in the future, he would not really fall out with them and break his promise by attacking the Zhao family.

Hence, they had to hope that Lin Feng would arrive home as soon as possible, so that they could “reconcile” with him as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Beisheng never received an affirmative answer after visiting the Lin family three times.

At this moment, Mr. Lin’s communicator rang.

“Feng’er, you’ll be coming home this afternoon? How can I not be happy? Your mother has been looking forward to your return for a long time. It’s great that you’re coming home now. I’ll ask your mother to prepare a nice meal, haha.”

Turning off the communicator, Mr. Lin’s face was filled with joy.

“Dad, Third Brother is coming back?”

“That’s right. Feng’er is coming back, and he’ll be home in the afternoon.”

At this moment, Mr. Lin glanced at Zhao Beisheng.

Zhao Beisheng understood and immediately bade farewell. “Since Lin Feng is back, Big Brother and I will visit him personally another day!”

With that, Zhao Beisheng turned around and left in a hurry.
