Chapter 54: The Kind-Hearted Taxi Driver Uncle
In the blink of an eye, all the Nightmares were slain.
“Li Feng, I’m really glad you were here this time. Otherwise, everyone on the bus would have been in danger. I owe you one,” He Yeming said gratefully.
With his strength, he wouldn’t have been able to tear apart the dream. If the fight had continued, he would have only met defeat.
“It’s what I should do. Now that it’s resolved, let’s go back,” Li Feng said, shaking his head.
Even if he hadn’t acted, the Nightmares would have attacked him anyway. He was just saving himself.
On the way back, He Yeming gave Li Feng his contact information. He naturally wanted to build a relationship with someone with such great potential like Li Feng.
Then, the two returned to the bus one after another.
Inside the bus, everyone was anxious. But when the passengers saw the Guard return, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Li Feng also returned to his seat.
“Luckily, I bought a bus ticket this time. It’s indeed safer,” many people discussed.
However, after this encounter with a dimensional creature attack, a few people on the bus still died. But no one mentioned it. Everyone felt a sense of relief after surviving.
“Haha, I told you a Professional level expert would definitely have a way to deal with dimensional creatures.” Shen Wansan’s face showed delight as he looked at Li Feng and lectured, “How was it? Did you see a dimensional creature? Were you scared? Young people like you are always so rash. The Guard Master just told us to stay on the bus and not move around. Luckily, nothing happened to you.”
Li Feng looked up at him, ignored him, and continued to play his game peacefully.
Fan Dahai, being a businessman, was more perceptive about certain things. When Li Feng and the Guard boarded the bus, Li Feng was walking in front, and the Guard was a few steps behind.
This made him wonder, “Could something have happened? Is Li Feng more important than the Guard?”
But when Fan Dahai saw Li Feng continue to be engrossed in his game, he quickly dismissed this ridiculous thought. Maybe the Guard was just being polite.
………
After the Nightmare incident, the bus journey continued without any further issues.
Five hours later, they arrived at Daqian City, and the bus entered the station.
“By the way, Li Feng, which academy are you attending in Daqian City?” Just as Li Feng was about to get off the bus, Fan Dahai suddenly asked.
“Jianye Academy,” Li Feng replied without turning his head, and his figure disappeared into the crowd.
“Jianye Academy? Isn’t Jianye Academy on par with the top three academies in Great Xia Nation?” Fan Dahai was stunned when he heard this answer.
By the time he came back to his senses, Li Feng had already disappeared. He suddenly felt a pang of regret.
“Young people these days sure like to brag. Jianye Academy is a top academy. Only geniuses can enter, and the tuition is extremely expensive. How could he possibly be a student there?”
Shen Wansan, who was beside him, also heard this and said disdainfully.
Li Feng’s attire was very ordinary. He didn’t look like he came from a wealthy family. How could he be a student at Jianye Academy? He wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.
After saying this, Shen Wansan suddenly noticed that the Guard was still sitting on the bus. His eyes lit up, and he went up to him, saying, “Master, thank you so much for this trip. How about we exchange contact information? I’ll treat you to a meal another day to thank you for saving our lives today.”
Both Fan Dahai and He Yeming were the most important people he had ever met.
“Treat me to a meal?”
He Yeming heard this, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He said, “You don’t even acknowledge the top scorer of Chengde County. How dare you invite me to a meal? I’m not worthy.”
With that, he turned and left, not even glancing at Shen Wansan.
“Top scorer? What top scorer?” Shen Wansan was stunned. He didn’t understand what He Yeming was talking about. But he also understood that the other party looked down on him.
“Li Feng, is the top scorer, dammit. That Li Feng is actually the top scorer.” Fan Dahai heard this and suddenly realized.
◈◈◈
He felt extremely upset. He had been so focused on talking to Shen Wansan that he completely ignored Li Feng, wasting a great opportunity.
Shen Wansan, who was slower to catch on, also reacted and muttered, “Maybe it’s just the same name. Li Feng can’t possibly be the top scorer, right?”
“Hmph, same name? Would the Guard Master say that?” Fan Dahai’s face turned cold. He decided it was better to keep his distance from someone like Shen Wansan.
Moreover, he thought of something else. After Li Feng got off the bus, the Guard’s attitude towards him obviously changed. Something unknown must have happened.
For example, the dimensional creature that attacked the bus was actually dealt with by Li Feng. This thought made Fan Dahai gasp, and he quickly ran off the bus, trying to catch up to Li Feng.
Shen Wansan just stood there in the bus, feeling a mix of emotions. He murmured, “So I was the clown all along.”
………
Li Feng was naturally unaware of what was happening on the bus.
After leaving the station, he hailed a taxi on the street.
After all, this was his first time in Daqian City, and he was completely unfamiliar with the city.
“Young man, where are you going?” The driver asked after Li Feng got in. He had a strong local accent.
Li Feng smiled and said, “Please take me to a hotel near Jianye Academy.”
Jianye Academy’s opening day was the day after tomorrow. He decided to find a hotel nearby for the night.
“Alright, young man, are you a student at Jianye Academy? It doesn’t start until the day after tomorrow. You’re really early.”
“Yes, I was just admitted this year.”
The taxi slowly started moving. The driver Uncle was very talkative. He suddenly said, “By the way, do you want to go by the meter? Since you’re a student, I’ll give you a discount. It’ll be 100 yuan without the meter.”
“Okay, let’s not use the meter then. Uncle, you’re such a good person,” Li Feng said, feeling slightly touched. He didn’t expect to meet such a kind-hearted Uncle on his first trip out.
“You’re welcome. After all, I’m helping to bring in talent for Daqian City. It’s what I should do,” the driver Uncle said, showing his bright teeth. Then he suddenly braked, saying, “Oh, young man, we’re at Jianye Academy.”
Li Feng: “. . .”
“Uncle, if I’m not mistaken, your speed was 20Km/H just now. I’ve only been in the car for five minutes, and you’re telling me we’re here?”
“That’s right. Jianye Academy is just a little over a kilometer from the bus station. Didn’t you know?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to help bring in talent for Daqian City?”
“That’s right. I brought you to Jianye Academy. Isn’t that bringing in talent?”
Faced with this, Li Feng was speechless: “. . .”
“I want to use the meter now.”
“Too late. We’ve reached the destination. The doors are welded shut. No getting out without paying. Otherwise, I’ll call the police. It’s a peaceful era now. Breaking the law is a serious matter,” the driver Uncle threatened.
“Fine!” Li Feng could only utter this word, obediently handing over a hundred yuan, his heart filled with elegant curses.
