A burst of mocking laughter rang out in the silent room.
"I'm Feng Lang. You didn't expect me to be the one here to see you, right?"
"It's you?" Feng Lin's face was hidden in the darkness. No one could see his expression clearly.
"You are just a low-grade clansman. Why must you go against the Head Butler? Aren't you just looking for trouble? " Feng Lang stood outside the Confinement Room, nagging earnestly with a well-intentioned look on his face.
"Why? Are you here to mock me?" Feng Lin suddenly interrupted him.
"You've misunderstood!" Feng Lang calmly replied. "I don't have any intention of mocking you. I'm just very impressed by you!"
"Hehe!" Feng Lin chuckled. This sentence was as fake as it could be. He didn't believe it at all. He calmly replied, "Impressed by me? Are you joking? As the direct grandson of the clan leader and a member of the upper echelons of the clan, would you admire a low-grade clansman like me? "
"It's true!" Seeing that Feng Lin didn't believe him, Feng Lang's tone was incomparably sincere. "You have no idea how famous you are in the clan now! After so long, no one has ever dared to go against the Head Butler and even made a bet with him. There are many brothers in the clan who wish to get to know you … "
He kept jabbering, but nine out of ten of his sentences were lies!
Even though they were separated by the room, Feng Lin could still imagine his fake smile.
"There's no need!" Feng Lin calmly replied. He politely declined Feng Lang's kind intentions. He sat cross-legged on the cold ground and didn't say anything else.
This Feng Lang was a silkpants of the Feng Clan. He relied on his status as the direct grandson of the clan leader to be ignorant and incompetent. How could those who hung around him be good people?
Feng Lin had no interest in this nor did he have the time to play house with these silkpants.
Not to mention, this Feng Lang wasn't his friend.
He already had a conflict with Feng Lang before. Now, Feng Lang came to look for him for no reason. Even if one used their buttocks to think, they would know that there was a problem.
Feng Lin wouldn't be so foolish as to not know that he was being sold.
Seeing that he was trying to curry favor with Feng Lin, Feng Lang's countenance instantly turned extremely unsightly. Even a silkpants wanted face.
However, his face was hidden outside the confinement room, and Feng Lin couldn't see it. Feng Lang's expression changed, but he eventually calmed down. His expression was as heavy as water, causing others to be unable to guess what he was thinking in his heart.
"Feng Lin, it's true that we had a little conflict before, but it's also true that we won't get to know each other without fighting! After witnessing your courage in going against the Head Butler, I also want to make friends with you! "he said.
Feng Lin's face, which was hidden in the darkness, coldly smiled. (You still want to play tricks with me? Who are you trying to fool?)
Seeing that Feng Lin was ignoring him, Feng Lang gritted his teeth. He knew that Feng Lin was wary of him. It wouldn't be easy to fool him.
How infuriating!
As the eldest grandson of the clan leader, he had always been able to do whatever he wanted in the clan. When had he ever suffered such grievances? He had come to curry favor with a lowly clansman, yet he was ignored like this!
If it was his usual temperament, he would have exploded in anger.
However, for the sake of his next goal, he could only endure it. Although he was angry, he had no choice but to endure!
Feng Lang, you're the angriest, no, the best!
Endure, I will endure, I will continue to endure!
Finally, after a difficult internal struggle, Feng Lang finally controlled the anger in his heart.
"Feng Lin, although we have some grudges between us, it doesn't count for anything. It's just that we are young and hot-blooded. We can totally become friends! "
"Let's not talk about you, I've had enough as well. The Head Butler is too tyrannical. In the past, he also suppressed me mercilessly! "
"On this point, we are like-minded."
…
Feng Lang kept on talking, trying his best to get close to Feng Lin.
However, no matter how glib your tongue is, my ears are as deaf as deaf.
These noises entered Feng Lin's left ear and then left his right ear. In any case, he couldn't hear a single word.
Those who were unaccountably solicitous were hiding evil intentions.
Feng Lin would be a fool if he believed him.
Don't just look at how this fellow made himself sound pitiful. Those who didn't know would think that he was living a hellish life.
However, this Feng Lang was actually the eldest grandson of the clan leader. The allowance he received from the clan every month was at least 10,000 star coins.
There was definitely something fishy going on!
For this fellow to befriend a lowly clansman like him for no reason, he must have some ulterior motives.
Feng Lin wanted to see what this fellow was thinking, but he couldn't be too proactive.
This was a battle of wits. If he could beat him at his own game, he might be able to make use of this person to get out of this predicament …
Hence, no matter how nice Feng Lang's words were, Feng Lin didn't budge at all.
In the end, his mouth was dry, and all his efforts were for naught.
Feng Lang stood outside the confinement room, panting heavily. His countenance was extremely unsightly, and he wanted nothing more than to turn around and leave.
However, his steps were like glue, stuck to the ground. He was itching to move, but he ultimately didn't take that step.
Grudges were small, but the goal was more important!
Before he achieved his goal, he wasn't willing to leave just like that.
However, this Feng Lin was like a smelly and hard rock, completely ignoring him. He had no way to make a move, and there was nothing he could do.
The two of them fell into a strange silence. Only the sound of their breathing made them aware of each other's existence.
Just when Feng Lang finally couldn't take it anymore and was about to turn around and leave, Feng Lin laughed lightly, breaking the silence. He lazily said, "If you have something to say, just say it! Don't display your slight skill in front of an expert? "
Feng Lang had just taken a step forward when he suddenly stopped in the air, feeling incomparably depressed.
Hey, you're doing this on purpose, right? Earlier, you ignored me for half a day, and now you're taking the initiative to look for me!
Are you messing with me?
He's definitely doing this on purpose!
Actually, not only did Feng Lin know, how could he not know that this was an invisible game? Who was the hunter? Who was the prey?
Whoever had the most patience would have the advantage!
And now, he was very clear that Feng Lin had the initiative.
It seemed like this Feng Lin wasn't someone easy to fool!
Feng Lang felt that it was a pity. How could such a demon-like fellow be a low-grade clansman? His birth was too low, it was truly a pity!
However, this was good as well. Only someone with such a deep scheming heart wouldn't ruin things. Only people with such low statuses would be easier to control.
And wasn't it precisely because he valued these merits that he came to look for Feng Lin?
Hearing Feng Lin's words, Feng Lang also understood that his goal had been seen through by Feng Lin. There was no point in trying to scheme.
He also turned serious and no longer kept Feng Lin in suspense. He went straight to the point. "Do you know? Another year is about to end! At the end of the year, the clan will organize a clan sacrifice, and at that time, they will organize a ranking competition within the clan. All descendants of the Feng Clan who are participating in the college examinations next year will be able to participate. Those with high rankings will receive the full support of the clan, and they will be able to achieve good results in the college examinations! "
"What does this have to do with me?" Feng Lin calmly spoke, unmoved.
He was very clear that the Feng Clan wasn't the only one with such a sacrifice. Every small human clan in the Interstellar Era would organize a similar ritual, offering sacrifices to their ancestors, tracing back their bloodline and genetic origins to strengthen the cohesiveness of the clan.
However, what did all this have to do with a low-grade clansman like him?
He didn't think that the upper echelons of the clan would treat him as a clansman of equal status!
"Have you forgotten?" Feng Lang smiled complacently. "Doesn't the Head Butler always talk about the clan rules, claiming to be the protector of the clan rules? Also, the clan rules state that every clansman has the right to pursue equality. No one can stop them, not even the Head Butler! Hence, in theory, all the clansmen of the Feng Clan can participate in the clan ranking competition, regardless of their status! "
Feng Lin's brows furrowed, finally feeling moved.
