Chapter 279: Winning over Lin Feng

Zuo Junpeng saw the reactions of Lin Feng and the others, and a wave of dissatisfaction welled up in his heart. He felt that Lin Feng and the others were disrespectful to the Eighth Prince, so he shouted, "How dare you! You don't even salute the Eighth Prince when you see him?" His voice was loud and majestic, as if declaring to Lin Feng and the others that the Eighth Prince's majesty was inviolable.

However, Zhang Zhichen raised his hand slightly, signaling Zuo Junpeng to shut up. His eyes revealed a calm and composed look, as if he was not satisfied with Zuo Junpeng's behavior. Seeing this, Zuo Junpeng quickly lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

Only then did Lin Feng and the other two realize they were facing the prince! A wave of awe welled up in their hearts, and they quickly clasped their fists in salute. Lin Feng bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "Greetings, Eighth Prince." Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu followed suit, their movements in unison, their eyes filled with respect and devotion.

However, Zhang Zhichen stopped Lin Feng. His eyes revealed a warmth and friendliness, as if he had a special affection for Lin Feng. He raised his lips slightly, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, it's been a long time since we last met. I originally considered you my rival, but now your strength has far surpassed ours." His voice was deep and magnetic, as if he were telling an ancient story.

Lin Feng was filled with surprise when he heard Zhang Zhichen's words. He hadn't expected Zhang Zhichen to say such a thing to him, nor had he expected Zhang Zhichen to consider him a rival. A look of humility and caution lingered in his eyes, and he quickly said politely, "Eighth Prince, you're joking. I'm just a bit luckier." His voice was calm and steady, as if conveying his humility and caution to Zhang Zhichen.

Zhang Zhichen looked at Lin Feng, his eyes revealing a kind of appreciation and approval. He nodded slightly and said, "Brother Lin, you don't have to be restrained. We are friends now." His voice revealed a kind of sincerity and friendliness, as if expressing his sincerity and goodwill to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng felt a surge of panic when he heard Zhang Zhichen's words. He hadn't expected Zhang Zhichen to consider him a friend, nor had he expected him to be so sincere and friendly. His eyes revealed a sense of unease and caution, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "I dare not, I dare not, how can a servant like me become friends with the prince?" His voice revealed a sense of humility and respect, as if expressing his humility and respect to Zhang Zhichen.

Zhang Zhichen felt helpless when he heard Lin Feng's words. He knew Lin Feng was still wary of him, and also knew that Lin Feng still had awe for his status. He sighed slightly and said, "That's right, one should be cautious. Lin Feng, we should have a drink together next time." His voice revealed a sense of anticipation and longing, as if expressing his own expectations and longing to Lin Feng.

At this point, Lin Feng was even more bewildered. He didn't know what the prince was up to. His eyes revealed a sense of confusion and bewilderment, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart. He didn't know what Zhang Zhichen's purpose was, nor did he know what consequences Zhang Zhichen's appearance would bring him. His eyes revealed a sense of vigilance and alertness, and his body involuntarily tensed up.

Zhang Zhichen felt a surge of disappointment when he saw Lin Feng remain silent. He knew Lin Feng was still wary of him, and also knew Lin Feng still held him in awe of his status. He sighed softly and said, "General Lin has made great contributions. I enjoy being your friend." His voice was sincere and friendly, as if expressing his sincerity and goodwill to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was deeply moved when he heard Zhang Zhichen's words. He hadn't expected Zhang Zhichen to be so sincere and friendly to him, nor had he expected Zhang Zhichen to recognize his contributions so highly. His eyes revealed gratitude and respect, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Eighth Prince, for your appreciation!" His voice was sincere and respectful, as if expressing his gratitude and respect to Zhang Zhichen.

Seeing Lin Feng's refusal to budge, Zhang Zhichen felt a surge of helplessness. He knew Lin Feng was still wary of him, and also knew Lin Feng still held him in awe of his status. He sighed softly and said, "It's okay. I'll give you time. I simply admire a talent like you." His voice was sincere and friendly, as if expressing his sincerity and goodwill to Lin Feng. With that, he patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and left.

Lin Feng watched Zhang Zhichen's departing figure, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. He didn't know what Zhang Zhichen's purpose was, nor did he know what consequences Zhang Zhichen's appearance would bring to him. His eyes revealed a sense of vigilance and alertness, and his body involuntarily tensed up.

Chen Xiner leaned closer to Lin Feng, a hint of worry and confusion in her eyes. "Lin Feng, the Eighth Prince wants to win you over," she whispered softly, her voice low but clear enough to reach Lin Feng's ears.

Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly, a solemn expression on his face. "This is not a good thing." His voice was steady and powerful, revealing his inner worry.

Chen Xiner instantly understood Lin Feng's concerns, and a flash of panic crossed her eyes. "Internal strife in the palace?" she asked softly, her tone filled with uneasiness.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, his expression serious. "If you stand on the wrong side, you will be punished." His words hit Chen Xiner's heart like a hammer.

Chen Yu on the side was confused. He looked at Lin Feng and asked in confusion: "Brother Lin, the Eighth Prince has made his intention clear, why don't you hold on to this big leg?" His eyes were full of doubts. He didn't understand why Lin Feng refused the Eighth Prince's solicitation.

Lin Feng glanced at Chen Yu, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "I'm afraid I can't hold on tight enough to this powerful figure." His voice was filled with caution, knowing full well that the situation in the palace was complex and that if he chose the wrong side, the consequences would be disastrous.

Chen Yu still didn't understand. He frowned and fell into deep thought. Lin Feng didn't wait for him to figure it out before saying, "Let's go." His tone was decisive, with an unquestionable power.

Afterwards, Lin Feng led Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu out of the palace. The streets outside the palace were bustling with people. Lin Feng walked ahead, his steps firm and steady. His eyes scanned the surroundings, as if searching for something.

Chen Xiner and Chen Yu followed Lin Feng, their hearts filled with confusion. They had originally thought that Lin Feng would take them directly to Xixuan City to visit Xu Tian, ​​but they didn't expect Lin Feng to suddenly wander around the streets. They watched as Lin Feng walked to one street, turned a corner, and ended up on another street, completely unsure of what he was doing.
