After listening to Feng Jian's explanation, Qin Feng gained a general understanding of the relationship between the Black Fiend Immortal Palace and the Yuan family. Now, hearing someone criticize the Yuan family, he became even more certain.
The people of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace have long harbored resentment towards the Yuan family and are still arguing incessantly.
"Sigh, this isn't the first time something like this has happened at the Immortal Mine. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. They're being so lenient all the time that I don't even believe it anymore."
"Hmph, it's not just the immortal mines; everything else is the same. Especially lately, they've become increasingly arrogant, and we're all keeping our distance. It's so humiliating."
“Who says otherwise? We have our own inn, why would we come to a merchant’s inn to drink and relax?”
"Speaking of which, are we just going to let them share the immortal mines of the Star Dou Mountains for nothing? If we had them all, we would get double the immortal crystals."
"Damn it, we only get five hundred immortal crystals a month. It's really unfair to give them away like this."
"What else can we do?"
"Alright, everyone, calm down. This is bad luck. Stop talking and let's drink."
Listening to their dejected conversation, Qin Feng formed a plan in his mind.
He decided to help them, not because he was charitable, but because the Yuan family was bullying them too much.
He scanned the map and found the location of the Star Dou Mountains, which wasn't far from here.
He and Ao Ling ate heartily, and soon the food on the table was all gone.
Ao Ling smiled contentedly and let out a burp. Perhaps it was because she had eaten so many celestial delicacies, but her little face was flushed.
Qin Feng was quite satisfied with the meal and beckoned to a waiter to settle the bill.
This meal cost over two thousand immortal crystals. He was in a good mood and generously rewarded the servant with five hundred immortal crystals.
The servant was overjoyed. His monthly salary was less than ten immortal crystals, and these one hundred immortal crystals were almost equivalent to several years' salary for him. He thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!"
Qin Feng waved his hand, "The dishes you introduced are quite good, I am very pleased."
After he finished speaking, he led Ao Ling out of Xiangmanlou, ignoring the gazes of others, and deliberately maintained his aura at around the mid-stage of the Xuanxian realm.
His actions attracted the attention of many people, including the Black Fiend Immortal Palace members at the table to his left.
Their eyes widened in disbelief. They only earned 500 immortal crystals a month. Despite the large table full of people, they knew the prices at Xiangmanlou Restaurant. They only ordered a few dishes and didn't dare drink much alcohol, as it was just for show.
Seeing Qin Feng being so generous, the group exchanged glances.
They sized up Qin Feng and saw that his aura was only at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm, while the little girl hadn't even reached that level yet. This gave them some strange thoughts.
The group quickly paid the bill and followed Qin Feng and his companion.
Seeing this, everyone silently mourned for Qin Feng.
"I wonder which family's young master he is. Doesn't he understand the principle of not flaunting his wealth?"
"It's hopeless. If those people are not mistaken, they should be from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace, and they're probably feeling down right now."
The servant also noticed this scene. His feelings were complicated, but what could a mere Emperor Realm cultivator do? He could only pray silently and absentmindedly went to greet the others.
Not only were the people of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace tempted, but others were too. However, seeing that the people of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace made the first move, they hesitated and did not dare to follow.
Qin Feng led Ao Ling at a slow pace, seemingly unaware of the danger approaching them, and continued strolling leisurely through the streets.
Ao Ling leaned closer to him and whispered, "Brother Feng, will those people really follow us? What if it's someone else?"
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Who knows? Probably. If they really do come, then we'll go with the flow. If it's something else, then we'll just consider it as them giving me immortal crystals."
Ao Ling was somewhat worried, "Aren't you afraid of attracting some big shot? Like a celestial being or a golden immortal or something."
Qin Feng shook his head. "It's only a few thousand immortal crystals, it can't be that serious."
Ao Ling looked at him with annoyance.
"Brother Feng, you're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of an starving man. I just looked at the other tables, and the people at the surrounding tables combined didn't even order as much as we did."
Qin Feng recalled for a moment, "Huh, it seems that's really true. Ling'er, don't jinx it, your brother Feng can't handle this."
Ao Ling chuckled, "If you can't beat them, then run away."
Qin Feng suddenly said, "The fish has taken the bait."
Ao Ling complained, "These people are so impatient, and their methods are so clumsy."
The two chatted casually, strolled around the bustling city, and bought quite a few interesting things.
The Black Fiend Immortal Palace group followed at a distance, confirming that Qin Feng and his companion had not joined the others.
"This is a big fish. Look how readily they paid for it. They don't seem to care about the money at all. It'll be enough for us to live it up for a while."
"These two are alone. Don't hesitate, everyone, make your move."
As if at the sound of a horn, they bared their fangs without hesitation, appearing in front of Qin Feng and Ao Ling with lightning speed and surrounding them.
There were quite a few pedestrians on the street who noticed the scene, but they didn't interfere and just watched the show.
Qin Feng frowned, looking at the group surrounding them, and said unhappily, "Who are you people, and what do you want?"
One of them spoke in a sinister tone, "Hehe, we are from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace. Don't be afraid. If you want to live, hand over your valuables."
"Blame your bad luck on yourself. Hand over the immortal crystals."
"Hurry up, I'm in a bad mood today, so don't make things difficult for me."
Qin Feng, on the other hand, acted very arrogantly, looking at them with mockery.
"Oh, people from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace? Ordinary people are indeed afraid of you, but I am not."
