Extreme Almightiest Young Master Chapter 56

"Do you have any questions?"

"Yeah, I stayed with the old man for five years. When did he take Sister as his disciple?"

"I came across Master when I was seventeen years old. At that time, I was close to dying, but by chance, Master saved me, and afterwards, I became his nominal disciple... uh, you just said... five years, you stayed with Master for five years?" Chu Meng said with a smile, but as she got to the end, she suddenly realized something and whipped her head around to look at Lin Feng.

Right? What did he just say? Did she hear it wrong, he stayed with Master for five years?

That meant he was Master’s true disciple. How could that be? Wasn’t it that Master never took disciples? Even becoming a nominal disciple like her, who was neglected, was extremely difficult. Five years, that was five years! You know, every minute and second spent beside Master was incredibly precious, and looking back, it was the biggest harvest of one’s life.

She was just treated by Master for an illness at the time, and after staying with Master for less than a month, her constitution completely changed, and her physical quality greatly improved. More importantly, from then on, after being saved by Master, her learning and comprehension abilities exploded. All those difficult problems suddenly became very, very simple.

Her comprehension and understanding opened up, and suddenly everything clicked.

And just like that, she became a legend known as a ’Genius of Postnatal Origin,’ but she always knew that without Master, she would have died long ago, let alone have achieved what she has now.

Lin Feng, hearing Sister Chu Meng say this, quietly calculated the time, and it must have been a year or two right before he went to the island.

"Little Brother, did you really stay with Master for 5 years?" Chu Meng couldn’t control her emotions, because the shock was too great.

"Yes, I stayed with the old man on an island for 5 years. Honestly, it wasn’t all pleasant memories." Seeing such a big reaction from Sister, Lin Feng couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"How can it not be a pleasant memory? You don’t know how blessed you are. I’m almost dying of envy here. Do you know? I was only with Master for less than a month, and during most of that, I was bedridden. When my condition stabilized and I was alright, Master left. You..." Suddenly, Chu Meng, who was driving and looking at Lin Feng, paused because she saw something.

She saw something of Master’s, the ring on the middle finger of Lin Feng’s left hand. She remembered the times she spent with Master, remembered Master’s joking demeanor day by day, remembered Master always encouraging her to keep fighting her illness, remembered Master’s ever-smiling face, remembered Master always liked to pat her head...

This ring, engraved with ’1911,’ was the only keepsake of Master, who had never taken it off, but now he had given it to this little brother, Lin Feng.

No doubt about it, the ring was absolutely right; it represented an identity, and also Master’s recognition.

"Sister, you don’t need to look while driving. We have plenty of time." Seeing Sister’s astonished face, Lin Feng said jokingly.

"Seeing the ring on your hand, I remembered the days I spent with Master. I’m really envious that you could be with Master for five years." Chu Meng gave a Yanran smile, then turned her gaze forward, but her eyes flickered with a happy and unforgettable expression because she was thinking of those memories that she would never forget.

"To even survive is lucky for me. Pleasant, I really can’t think of what was pleasant about it..." Even after Lin Feng had fully adapted, he still couldn’t think of anything pleasant about those five years.

Huh?

Lin Feng’s words baffled Chu Meng. Being with Master was such a rare opportunity, a fortune that others couldn’t even earn in several lifetimes. She herself had that chance for only a brief time and still remembered it profoundly.

But thinking about it, maybe Lin Feng’s words had another meaning, so she didn’t ask further.

"Little Brother, is Master doing well right now?" Chu Meng asked Lin Feng. She really wanted to see Master; it had been almost 7 years since she saw him.

"He was in better shape than I was when we were on the island, but I haven’t seen him since I came back." Sincerity, honesty, and earnestness are not fake, and Lin Feng could feel them.

"Ah, I wonder when I’ll see Master again. It’s been seven years in a flash." Chu Meng couldn’t help but sigh.

"It won’t be long, and then you’ll be able to see him." Lin Feng thought about the old man’s habits and comforted Chu Meng.

"Yeah, let’s not think about it. Master is elusive – when he wants to see us, he’ll naturally appear. By the way, what shall we eat?" No longer wanting to dwell on this topic, Chu Meng made a suggestion, as it really wasn’t easy to take time out to come to Tianhai to see Lin Feng, and she wanted to at least have a meal with this little brother.

"Go home, I’ll cook for you. I haven’t thanked Sister yet for the last police station incident. Now that Sister has come, I’ll personally make something to express my gratitude." Lin Feng said with a smile, bringing up the police station incident.

"Right, right! Show me the way, we’ll go buy groceries now, and then head home to cook. Thinking about Master’s cooking, I drool for the rest of my life. If it’s really like you said, then that’s fantastic. As for other stuff, do we even need to talk about that? By the way, which way should we turn now?" Hearing Lin Feng say that, Chu Meng’s eyes lit up with unbridled excitement and eagerness.

She well remembered Lin Feng saying that he had achieved ninety percent of Master’s culinary skills. Oh my! The concept was mind-blowing! A five-star hotel’s dishes couldn’t hold a candle to Master’s. If this little brother had really learned ninety percent of Master’s skills, then it was definitely beyond praise.

Just thinking about it made Chu Meng’s mouth water uncontrollably.

And so, under Lin Feng’s direction, they drove a flashy sports car worth 47 million into a large vegetable market not far from Lin Feng’s home.

There wasn’t a designated parking lot here, and as soon as the car stopped on the roadside, it immediately drew the attention of many people, especially from those setting up stalls at the edges of the market.

"What kind of car is that? It’s so cool."

"Why has that car come here? Took a wrong turn, maybe asking for directions?"

"Who knows? Definitely not here to buy groceries, that’s for sure."

"Yeah, I’ve seen this type of car online. It could buy dozens of markets the size of this one... market..."

......

While they were talking, Chu Meng had gotten out of the car and was walking towards the market with Lin Feng, instantly turning all eyes in their direction.

Oh my god, am I seeing this right?

Are they really here to buy vegetables? This is absurd, driving this kind of car to buy groceries, what a joke!

And when they saw the beauty of Chu Meng, it gave them an even more surreal, dreamlike sensation.

With Chu Meng on his arm, plus her arriving in a car that attracted countless stares, their trip to the market was destined to be the center of attention. However, Lin Feng wasn’t affected by this at all.

After buying groceries, the two drove home. Upon opening the door, they saw Zhang Lan watching TV.

Zhang Lan also looked at Lin Feng strangely. Why did her son buy so much food today? And who was this beautiful woman he brought home—his girlfriend, or...

With thoughts racing in her head, Zhang Lan hurriedly stood up. In case this was her son’s ’friend’, it would be her first visit to the house. But to be honest, the young man moved quite quickly. Considering his age, it was about time he found a girlfriend to settle down with.

Although Lin Feng had no idea exactly what his mother was thinking, seeing her size up Chu Meng from head to toe gave him a clue.

"Mom, this is a friend of mine, Chu Meng," Lin Feng introduced to Zhang Lan. The reason he didn’t mention that Chu Meng was his senior sister was that he didn’t want his parents to know too much about his life on the island, lest they worry.

After all, his life on the island was too extraordinary. Lin Feng only briefly mentioned parts of it to his parents, never deliberately sharing too much.

"Chu Meng, this is my mother, Zhang Lan." Lin Feng also introduced Zhang Lan to Chu Meng. There was no need for too much formality with Chu Meng; he made the introduction casually and naturally.

Understanding the subtext in Lin Feng’s words, Chu Meng replied with a polite smile, "Hello, Auntie!"

"Oh, come in quickly, have a seat inside!" Zhang Lan quickly ushered Chu Meng to sit on the couch, hardly taking her eyes off of her. At this moment, Zhang Lan shed any semblance of a strong businesswoman, appearing entirely like a mother-in-law sizing up her potential daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng took all the groceries into the kitchen, and soon the sounds of cooking filled the air...

On the couch, Zhang Lan kept her eyes on the stunning beauty her son had brought home. Beautiful! Truly beautiful! She did seem a bit older than Lin Feng, but it’s said that "a woman three years senior is a treasure to be cherished," and she didn’t seem that much older. That wasn’t a big issue.

Yes, a very fitting match indeed. She was a bit older and wiser, knowing and considerate. The more Zhang Lan thought about it, the more she liked Chu Meng.

Chu Meng felt a bit uncomfortable under Zhang Lan’s gaze. Why did it feel like this junior brother’s mother was eyeing her as a future daughter-in-law? This was nothing like anything she’d encountered before, and she was slightly unnerved, having never been in such a situation.

"Chu Meng, what do you do for work?"

"Auntie, I currently work at a fund," Chu Meng answered Zhang Lan’s question tactfully, sticking to the truth but omitting specifics.

"A fund? So you must be very familiar with financial matters," Zhang Lan had not expected the beautiful woman Lin Feng had brought home to be involved in business. It had been a long time since she worked, and chatting with this beauty about finance would be nice!

"I can only say I understand it quite well," said Chu Meng modestly.

"How do you view the recent turmoil in Southeast Asia? Will it lead to a repeat of the situation in ’98?" Zhang Lan was no longer involved in the business world, but she was well-acquainted with the subject.

"No, that definitely won’t happen. After all, the current situation is different from back then, and domestically things are even more..." This was an area where Chu Meng excelled, and speaking about it made her feel more at ease, allowing her to relax as the conversation progressed.
