“I am the young master’s old servant, it is my duty to protect him,” Wu Shanhong said calmly.

Ouyang Feng looked Wu Shanhong up and down a few times, and seeing that Wu Shanhong was injured, he asked, "Old Wu, how did you get injured? Did something happen on the road?"

Before Wu Shanhong could say anything, Ouyang Xue couldn't wait to say, "Brother, Wu Lao and I encountered a black-clad assassin in the Great Wilderness Mountains. That assassin was incredibly powerful; Wu Lao almost couldn't defeat him. Fortunately, Wu Lao was one step ahead and managed to repel him."

"I see."

Ouyang Feng nodded, then said to Wu Shanhong with gratitude, "Thank you so much, Elder Wu, you saved my brother's life. Don't worry, Elder Wu, I'll send someone to buy you some healing pills later."

Thank you.

Wu Shanhong said in a lukewarm tone.

Judging from the intimate way Ouyang Fengyu and Ouyang Xue were acting, if Ye Feng didn't know the situation, he would probably think that the two brothers had a very good relationship.

But whether that's actually the case is really hard to say.

Ye Feng heard clearly what Wu Shanhong said to Ouyang Xue in the carriage.

At this moment, Ouyang Feng had also noticed Ye Feng.

He looked towards the night wind, a look of confusion on his face.

Ouyang Xue immediately smiled and explained, "Brother, his name is Ye Feng. He's a friend I met on the road. And Mr. Ye can tell fortunes; he's incredibly accurate!"

Ouyang Feng was still speculating about Ye Feng's identity when he heard Ouyang Xue's words, and he immediately sneered.

"So he's just a fortune teller," Ouyang Feng said nonchalantly.

"Brother, don't underestimate Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye's fortune telling is really accurate. He told my fortune..." Ouyang Xue said anxiously.

"Young Master, you'd better say less," Wu Shanhong advised.

Ouyang Xue finally shut her mouth, her expression somewhat dejected.

Ouyang Feng glanced at Ye Feng with disdain and said, "Originally, you were not qualified to enter our City Lord's Mansion, but for the sake of my brother, I will allow you to stay here for one night."

"Thank you very much then," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Ouyang Xue then arranged a room for Ye Feng, who didn't say much. After entering the room, he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate his internal energy.

Night fell before we knew it.

Ouyang Xue's return caused jubilation throughout the city lord's mansion, filling it with a festive atmosphere.

Ouyang Feng even arranged a banquet for Ouyang Xue to welcome her back.

Ouyang Xue sent a servant to invite Ye Feng, but Ye Feng politely declined Ouyang Xue's offer and did not attend the banquet.

Inside the room, Ye Feng took out a communication talisman.

Ye Feng sent out the glittering golden communication talisman, but after it left his hand, it flew around the room a few times before returning to Ye Feng's hand.

"Can't get in touch? Looks like it's quite far away," Night Wind muttered to himself.

Ye Feng wanted to use a communication talisman to contact Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

However, the distance that a message talisman can travel to contact another person is not unlimited; once a certain distance is exceeded, the connection will be lost.

The higher the quality of the talisman, the farther it can travel to exert its effect.

The communication talisman crafted by Ye Feng can travel over distances of up to ten thousand miles!

However, the communication talisman cannot contact Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan now, which means that Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan are at least tens of thousands of miles away from Ye Feng!

However, traveling thousands of miles is not a difficult task for the night wind.

The night wind travels through the air, covering about 400 li per hour, which is 800 li in an hour.

In other words, if the night wind doesn't eat, drink, or rest, it can travel thousands of miles in a single day.

However, flying through the air is too taxing, and even the night breeze requires a rest.

Based on this calculation, two to three days should be enough.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan are safe and sound now, but they are too far away from Ye Feng, so it's not a big problem. Ye Feng will find them sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease, and no longer worried about Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

It was already past midnight.

The city lord's mansion was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects or birdsong coming from outside the windows.

Ye Feng, who was in a meditative state, suddenly opened his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"So you finally couldn't resist and made your move?" Night Wind muttered to himself.

In another room, Ouyang Xue was still awake, while Wu Shanhong sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the bed, meditating.

“Old Wu, you don’t need to watch over me all the time, do you?” Ouyang Xue said.

“Young Master, you are too naive. Do you really think your elder brother won’t lay a hand on you?” Wu Shanhong said with a serious expression.

“Old Wu, you’re worrying too much. You saw it yourself, my elder brother is so good to me, how could he really harm me? Besides, at tonight’s banquet, I already told him that I wouldn’t compete with him for the position of family head. I’ve already given up in front of the entire family,” Ouyang Xue said earnestly.

“Ouyang Feng won’t trust you. In his eyes, only the dead can put his mind at ease,” Wu Shanhong said meaningfully.

Wu Shanhong's expression suddenly changed as soon as he finished speaking.

Wu Shanhong clearly felt that the room was suddenly enveloped by a layer of restriction, isolating it from the outside world!

The next moment, the door was pushed open, and Ouyang Feng led a group of people in.

"Wu Shanhong, you really are cautious. But you're right, only dead people can put my mind at ease," Ouyang Feng said coldly.

Wu Shanhong suddenly stood up from the ground, looking at Ouyang Feng with a wary expression.

"Big brother, you..."

Ouyang Xue was startled, her little face full of surprise, mixed with a little panic and fear.

“Xiaoxue, you are too naive and too kind, so the position of family head must never fall into your hands. If you inherit the position and become the city lord of our Great Wilderness City, the family and even the entire Great Wilderness City will be destroyed by you,” Ouyang Feng said coldly.

"But I've already given up, I won't fight you for it..."

"Even if you give up yourself, it won't matter. Others won't see it that way. Only when you disappear from this world can I rightfully and legitimately inherit the position of family head," Ouyang Feng said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xue's face turned deathly pale, and her eyes revealed a look of disappointment.

"Big brother, you're too cruel..."

"In this world, only ruthless people can survive and become stronger!" Ouyang Feng said bluntly.

As soon as Ouyang Feng finished speaking, he waved his hand heavily, and the guards behind him immediately rushed towards Wu Shanhong.

Wu Shanhong let out a loud shout and got entangled with the guards.
