She got up, tiptoed to Su Feng, and knelt down on both knees.
Her kneeling surprised Su Feng slightly. "Miss Annie, what do you mean by this?"
“I have nothing to repay Young Master Su with…” Annie said softly, her head bowed, “but I beg Young Master Su to seek justice for my father… and make that Commander Xu pay the price!”
"This is my only hope! I'm willing to accept any condition as long as Young Master Su can help me!"
Su Feng understood her anxiety.
Rather, anyone else would have felt the same urge and thought to make their enemy pay the price at all costs.
"Miss Anne, please get up."
Su Feng helped Annie up and wiped away the tears on her face.
“I don’t need anything in return from you… but I promise you, I will make General Xu, who hurt your father, pay the price.”
His heart was not made of stone, so how could he remain unmoved?
The all-powerful Marshal Xu, for the sake of his own interests, tried to cover up the matter, remaining unmoved despite knowing that the Five Demon Gu he kept by his side were extremely dangerous.
This shows utter disregard for the thousands of people in Luhua Town!
Just then, Jiang Dalong, who had been keeping watch outside, rushed in.
"Young Master Su, there are people outside!"
……
The cold wind howled, stirring up the mud and sand on the ground.
In this barren land, a person was slowly walking towards the wooden house.
Stopping in front of the door, Long Hai removed his cloak, revealing his true face.
With a head of white hair and a face covered in scars, he looked like a veteran of many battles.
He stared intently at the entrance of the abandoned wooden house, then suddenly cupped his hands in greeting.
"I am Long Hai, an exorcist! I have come on the orders of Commander Xu to retrieve Wang Sanyang's body. I hope Fellow Daoist Su Feng will come out and meet me!"
"Heh, you know my name?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Feng slowly walked out of the house, leaned lazily against the door, and chuckled.
"I already know this from Commander Xu."
Long Hai replied with a solemn expression, not daring to make any rash moves.
Even now, he still can't quite believe that the young man in front of him, who looks to be no more than twenty years old, actually has a higher cultivation level than him!
Not long ago, he followed the corpse energy in an attempt to find Wang Sanyang, and finally witnessed that scene at the inn.
No matter how well the boy in front of me tried to hide it, every move he made exuded a powerful aura!
He could never be wrong about this!
So, to avoid conflict, he chose this subservient approach to try and find a compromise.
“That makes things easier.” Su Feng smiled coldly. “Then I’ll trouble Senior Long Hai to go back and inform Commander Xu that if he doesn’t want this matter to leak out, he should bring the Five Demon Gu with him… He should know what the consequences will be.”
The zombie outbreak in Deer Flower Town had already caused widespread panic, and now that two people have died, it has had a real impact.
If the townspeople were to find out that the whole thing was caused by Commander Xu, the situation would likely escalate and become uncontrollable.
Once the people's hearts are lost, Marshal Xu's life will naturally become difficult.
While it might not escalate into a scenario where officials force the people to rebel, it would certainly not sound good to other warlords.
Given Xu Dashuai's previous arrogant and domineering actions, it's likely that his ambitious plans will be sidelined.
Of course, retrieving the Five Demon Cups doesn't mean Su Feng will just let things go.
“Fellow Daoist Su…you are making things difficult for me.” Long Hai frowned, his expression complicated. “I do not want to fight you; I only hope to resolve this matter peacefully.”
He knew exactly what he was doing; fighting this boy he knew nothing about would only put him at a disadvantage.
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of him winning, he himself would probably find it difficult to escape unscathed.
After this calculation, it's not worth it.
He traveled the world, using his skills to make money, not wanting to risk his life for it.
This is also how he makes a living.
"I hope Fellow Daoist Su can do me a favor. In the future, my Longhai will repay you tenfold!"
Long Hai cupped his hands in greeting again, his voice even more sincere.
But Su Feng would not be swayed by these few words.
"No need to say anything more. I'm letting you off the hook because of Miss Anne. Don't push your luck."
"I'm not interested in your relationship with Commander Xu..." Su Feng said with his arms crossed, his tone extremely cold, "but you should know what the Five Demon Gu he obtained really is..."
"Knowing full well that this thing will become a great scourge, you chose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear. For that alone, I can take your life right here."
A sharp gaze swept over...
Just one glance was enough to make Long Hai's heart tremble and his body involuntarily startle.
Anne? ...
Could it be the girl who hid by the door this afternoon?
He did see the girl crouching in a panic in the corner.
If it were to clean up Xu Dashuai's mess, he would definitely step in to resolve this potential problem...
But he didn't do that.
He was aware of Wang Sanyang's existence and also knew why the girl had come...
Perhaps out of pity, they acted as if nothing had happened.
Unexpectedly, that unintentional act turned into a disaster for him.
I don't know whether I should be glad or not.
“I…” A bead of cold sweat slid down Long Hai’s forehead. He swallowed hard, feeling so guilty that he didn’t know how to respond.
Can……
On one side is Xu Dashuai, the long-time "big tycoon".
On one side is the young Su Feng, whose magical powers are unfathomable...
Both sides were formidable, leaving him unable to make a choice.
"Ming, I understand."
After careful consideration, he ultimately chose to save his life.
"I will go back and inform Commander Xu."
Long Hai nodded in acknowledgment, then cautiously turned around. After confirming that Su Feng behind him had no intention of making a move, he quickened his pace and left.
……
Firecrackers crackled and drums resounded.
A festive atmosphere permeated the entire Marshal's Mansion.
Officials and dignitaries from all walks of life were invited to the banquet, giving Commander Xu a great deal of face.
The courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement.
Marshal Xu went to great lengths for his four concubines.
Everything was done perfectly to meet the bride's requirements, even the dishes were all to the bride Susu's liking.
"Oh, Commander Xu, congratulations on your marriage! May you and your fourth concubine have a son soon, a son soon!"
"This is just a small gift, nothing more."
Faced with the blessings from distinguished guests from all directions, Marshal Xu was overjoyed and treated them to the finest food and wine.
Even though Commander Wu and Commander Liu were so unwilling, they still gave out large red envelopes.
The gifts Xu Dashuai received tonight alone were too numerous to count.
"Everyone, please enjoy your food and drinks, don't be shy with me!"
General Xu, dressed in a red robe, raised his wine glass, smiled, and tilted his head back to drink it all in one gulp.
But after glancing over, I couldn't see Jiang Dalong and Su Feng...
He knew exactly what was going on, but only a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
Just then, Butler Li tiptoed closer and whispered in his ear, "Master, Daoist Longhai has arrived and is waiting for you in the side room."
"Hmm?" Commander Xu was secretly delighted.
It’s done so quickly?
Sending Master Longhai to handle this matter was indeed the wisest decision!
Commander Xu put down his wine glass, greeted the group of distinguished guests in front of him, and then made up an excuse to leave temporarily.
I couldn't wait to rush to the backyard, and when I opened the door, Long Hai was indeed inside.
"Oh, Taoist priest, why are you only arriving now!"
With double happiness upon him, Commander Xu grinned from ear to ear, "Quickly, sit down and have a couple of drinks with me, and wait a moment..."
"Commander."
Long Hai raised his hand to interrupt Commander Xu's enthusiastic invitation. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "Regarding the things that Commander Xu instructed me to do before... I'm sorry, I'm powerless to do them."
pat!
The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Commander Xu reacted, his expression shifting from sunny to stormy, becoming ferocious. "Daoist Master, what do you mean by this?!"
"Even you can't do it?!"
Long Hai didn't bother making excuses, stating bluntly, "The Su Feng that the Commander-in-Chief mentioned is no ordinary person..."
