Outside Qian Luo Hall.
He did not inform anyone, including Yumo.
Lin Feng came alone with a calm expression. The Star Crystal Watch on his left hand was still dim and had not been activated.
Because he did not want to be disturbed by anything.
"I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet him?" Lin Feng's eyes shone.
He stepped forward calmly. In fact, he knew that the possibility of meeting him was very small.
With Bai Qi's strength, he would have stood out long ago. Why would he stay in the battle zone?
"Even if I don't meet him in the qualifying round, I'll have a chance to meet him in the future." Lin Feng smiled.
As the competition progressed, he would meet one strong opponent after another.
This kind of feeling was very exciting.
Continuous challenges!
…
Warriors came out from the various passages of Qian Luo Hall. Most of them were frowning. Many of them were indignant. Only a few warriors were happy. In the qualifying round, the probability of elimination was very high. Even if there were three chances to revive, how many of them could actually win?
Without strength, even if they passed the qualifying round, they would still be eliminated in the qualifying round.
Of course, to many people, a mere 10 or 100 Star Crystals was nothing.
Lin Feng smiled.
He was one of them.
To him, the price of reviving was very low.
However, to many people, not to mention 100 star crystals, even 10 star crystals was a huge sum of money.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng looked not far away.
Countless martial artists gathered, and the sounds of discussion were incessant.
It was very lively.
With some curiosity, Lin Feng walked closer. He saw a half-naked man. There was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, but he was only wearing a pair of coarse cloth pants. He looked very down and out. The man was sitting cross-legged. Beside him, there were two 'cradles' made of cloth. There seemed to be two babies in the cradles. But the strange thing was …
There were no cries.
In fact, there was no sound at all.
Were they asleep?
No!
Lin Feng's eyes were like torches as he looked at the two babies. He could feel the dense power of constellations entwining around them.
It did not belong to the babies, but to this down and out man. Sensing carefully, Lin Feng was even more alarmed.
"What a weak life force."
"These two babies …"
Lin Feng's eyes sparkled.
Looking at the two babies and then at the fallen hero, Lin Feng's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
It was a familiar scene!
"One hundred Star Crystals? That's too expensive."
"Although she is a Five Star Battle General, she is not worth this price. You can buy many slaves for the same price."
"You are greedy, and you are also very arrogant, unwilling to plant a slavery Star Crest."
…
The discussions in the surroundings continued. Lin Feng listened carefully and quickly understood what was going on.
In fact, even if he didn't listen, he could "see" the predicament of this destitute man in front of him. Because in front of him, there were scribbled words that had experienced the vicissitudes of life —
One hundred star crystals, willing to be his servant!
There were only seven words, short and powerful.
Between the lines, there was a sense of loneliness and helplessness, but more than that, it was bowing down to fate.
Just like how the destitute man's head was slightly lowered, Lin Feng could "see" that pair of dim eyes without any luster. It was as if he had lost all hope; it was as if he had already placed himself in a dead end, but his body was still as firm as a pine tree.
Lin Feng's breathing became somewhat hurried. Looking at this destitute man, a scene inexplicably appeared in his mind.
Outside the Lin Family Village, there was a similar man. His legs were broken and he was seriously injured, but he clenched his teeth and persevered with incomparable willpower. Beside him, there were also two children! This scene seemed to overlap with the scene twenty years ago. Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"Father …" Lin Feng's heart was filled with sadness.
Thinking of his father's predicament that day, compared to this destitute man in front of him, it was probably a thousand times worse!
However, his father still managed to survive.
Because he was a real man!
At this moment —
"Hey." There was a hint of disdain in the arrogant voice.
Lin Feng looked over. It was a young man in luxurious clothes. His clothes were glittering with golden light, and he was wearing a huge ring on his finger.
It wasn't just a symbol of status, but also a symbol of wealth and status!
The young man in luxurious clothes had a powerful background.
"Isn't he Luo Qing?"
"The young master of the Luo Chamber of Commerce. Why is he here?"
"I heard that he's here to discuss business with the Lin clan on behalf of the Luo Chamber of Commerce."
…
Everyone was whispering. Lin Feng's eyes glittered. He already knew the identity of the young man in luxurious clothes.
Luo Qing, the young master of the Luo Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Shiluo County. He was indeed rich and had a powerful background.
Luo Qing squinted at the destitute man with arrogance. "How much weight do you have? Can you sell it for 100 star crystals?" He indeed had the capital. None of his subordinates were easy to deal with. They were all eighth and ninth rank Star Lords. There was even a middle-aged man with a cold expression.
"Star Sector-level!" Lin Feng was shocked.
"The Luo Chamber of Commerce is indeed generous. They can even order a Star Sector-level warrior around."
"No wonder they're the largest chamber of commerce in Shiluo County."
Lin Feng nodded. Money did make the world go round.
The destitute man raised his head, and his eyes flashed. He said in a hoarse voice, "I, Guan Zhong, used to be a Star Sector-level warrior!"
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned, including Lin Feng.
A Star Sector-level warrior?
How did he end up like this?
The young man in luxurious clothes, Luo Qing, was also stunned. Then, he suddenly burst into laughter. "A Star Sector-level warrior? If a beggar like you is a cosmic realm state being, then I, Luo Qing, am a saint! " Luo Qing's eyes were full of contempt as he said disdainfully, "Don't think that I'm blind. Your strength can't be higher than a third-rank Star Lord!"
He hit the nail on the head!
Lin Feng nodded slightly. He felt the same way.
Although Luo Qing was a rich man, his "eyes" were very sharp.
However …
"His chi is indeed a bit strange. It seems to be suppressed by something." Lin Feng thought for a moment.
"Is what he said true?"
Lin Feng's heart trembled as he stared at the destitute man.
At this moment, the destitute man pursed his lips, lowered his head, and closed his eyes. Obviously, he didn't want to talk.
"Humph." Luo Qing snorted contemptuously. "Stop pretending. Forget it. I'm in a good mood. According to the slave market's rules, a third-rank Star Lord is worth ten star crystals. I'll buy you." Luo Qing raised his head arrogantly and snorted.
There was a lot of discussion around, and everyone looked at Luo Qing with envy.
He casually took out ten star crystals without even blinking. He was indeed the young master of the Luo Chamber of Commerce.
However, the destitute man didn't move at all, as if he was a stone statue.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Luo Qing shouted angrily, "Are you deaf or mute?"
The destitute man slowly opened his eyes, and his expression didn't change. "One hundred star crystals."
"You don't know what's good for you!" Luo Qing scolded and was about to leave. Lin Feng looked over and saw the middle-aged cosmic realm state man pull Luo Qing and whisper something in his ear. Luo Qing's eyebrows immediately relaxed, and his eyes kept changing.
"How about this? I'll give you twenty star crystals, no, forty star crystals!" Luo Qing's eyes were like lightning as he stared at the destitute man. "A fourth-rank Star Lord slave. How about that?"
Lin Feng's eyes glowed, and he was immediately certain.
Luo Qing was about to leave, but then, he turned back and made an offer.
Clearly, there was something fishy going on!
Looking at the destitute man, Lin Feng's heart trembled. Then, he looked at the two babies entangled by the astral power. His heart ached again. Even if he didn't say it, he knew what kind of power could make such an arrogant martial artist lower his head and make such a mysterious being a servant.
Two words …
Family.
There was nothing more precious than that.
In this short instant, Luo Qing increased the bid once more to 80 Star Crystals, and it caused the surrounding crowd to exclaim in surprise and sigh.
Lin Feng sighed, but he couldn't bear it.
To let such a great father, an expert, become the lackey of a rich second generation and live in the shadows for the rest of his life. Furthermore, there were two pitiful children … Although he was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's business, many things were destined by fate. Seeing this scene with his own eyes reminded him of his father.
Everything seemed to be a cycle of reincarnation.
Now, it was his turn.
"Here's a hundred star crystals. Take it." Lin Feng said slowly, walked up to the destitute man, squatted down, and put the star crystals in front of the man.
Instantly …
"Hiss ~ ~" Gasps could be heard all around.
They whispered in each other's ears, looking at Lin Feng with eyes filled with doubt and curiosity. There was also a deep sense of envy and jealousy.
"Who is he?"
"Wow, which young master? How come I've never seen him before?"
"Yeah, he doesn't look like a rich man!"
…
The surrounding voices kept entering his ears, but Lin Feng turned a deaf ear to them.
At this time, the down-and-out man had already opened his eyes. His pair of dim eyes flashed with a burning light, and the light disappeared in an instant. "Thank you."
Lin Feng smiled. He glanced at the two babies whose vital signs were extremely weak and sighed. His gaze fell on the destitute man, and he nodded. "Take good care of them. Don't give up. You are an admirable father."
Then, Lin Feng stood up, feeling sorry for them.
Even if he had a hundred star crystals, it wouldn't be easy to extend the lives of these two babies.
"You, you don't know the rules!" Luo Qing was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end. He stared at Lin Feng and took out a dazzling light from his chest. He looked at the dispirited man and said, "I have two hundred Star Crystals here. Come with me." He had doubled the price of the Star Crystals. The crowd burst into an uproar.
"He really isn't an ordinary person." Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
Although he didn't know, the Star Sector-level warrior beside Luo Qing should know.
Otherwise, Luo Qing wouldn't have lost his composure and chased after him.
The destitute man didn't even look at Luo Qing. He slowly straightened his body and looked at Lin Feng. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know benefactor's name and residence. After I finish my business, I will follow you and be your servant for life."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "No need."
After he finished speaking, he swaggered off, leaving behind the dumbstruck crowd.
