"It was almost midnight when Young Master Chen came out of the private room to settle the bill and even flirted with my maid. I saw that Young Master Chen had drunk too much and was walking unsteadily, so I kindly persuaded him to stay at my place for the night."
"But Young Master Chen said he had important business to attend to, so he left despite my advice."
"I never saw him again after that. The next day I heard the news that Young Master Chen had disappeared. I think he must have disappeared on his way home. He was most likely kidnapped."
Liang Cheng'an stopped there, looking at Ye Feng with some unease.
Even the night wind couldn't determine whether Liang Cheng'an's words were true or false, unless it used a soul-searching technique on him.
However, the Soul Searching Technique should be used as a last resort, and should be used as sparingly as possible.
After all, Ye Feng is currently impersonating Shen Hou, and Shen Hou doesn't know the Soul Searching Technique. Ye Feng is afraid that if he reveals too many of his abilities, someone with ulterior motives will see through his disguise.
After a moment's thought, Ye Feng decided to try and trick Liang Cheng'an.
Then Ye Feng said, "Are you sure? The information I received is different from what you said."
Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng'an's face immediately showed a look of worry, but he quickly said, "Everything I just said is true. If you don't believe me, Lord Shenhou, you can ask Lord Wang!"
The night wind fell silent, only scrutinizing Liang Cheng'an from head to toe.
The room was quiet, without a sound, and the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.
Liang Cheng'an couldn't take it anymore and said with a sob in his voice, "Lord Shenhou, I really didn't lie to you. I was telling the truth."
"Is it all really the truth?"
Ye Feng sneered and said, "Liang Cheng'an, you have one son and two daughters, and none of them are married yet, right?"
Ye Feng learned about Liang Cheng'an's family situation from the maids and guards right after he disguised himself at Jin Yu Lou.
This was no secret; Ye Feng found out easily.
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Liang Cheng'an trembled with nervousness.
"Lord Shenhou, what do you mean by this? Are you threatening me with my family?" Liang Chengan said, both indignant and timid.
"I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I'll bring your son and daughter here right now and kill them one by one in front of you! Liang Cheng'an, I mean what I say, you can try if you don't believe me," Ye Feng said heavily.
Liang Cheng'an's face showed grief and indignation, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to fight Ye Feng to the death.
But not long after, Liang Chengan gave in.
He sighed before finally saying, "Lord Shenhou, I didn't want to tell you this because someone threatened me. But I have no choice now. Since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you the truth."
This guy wasn't telling the truth just now!
Ye Feng sneered inwardly, but didn't say a word, only coldly staring at Liang Cheng'an.
Liang Cheng'an swallowed and said, "Actually, that night, after Young Master Chen came out of the private room to pay the bill, he didn't leave immediately. He sat in the lobby on the first floor and waited. Not long after, a man dressed in black came to find him."
"I clearly saw that Young Master Chen said a few words to that mysterious man with an ordinary appearance, and then they left together."
"I think that Young Master Chen's mysterious disappearance must be related to that mysterious man!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and asked, "What did they say back then?"
"I didn't hear you..."
As soon as Liang Cheng'an uttered those four words, Ye Feng stepped in front of him and grabbed his right hand.
Click!
The night wind broke Liang Cheng'an's right index and middle fingers, and excruciating pain immediately shot through his hand, causing him to let out a pig-like scream.
"Do you really think I'm a kind person who won't lay a hand on you?" Ye Feng said coldly, exuding a strong killing intent.
Liang Cheng'an begged and pleaded for mercy, but Ye Feng never let go of his right hand.
"What did they say back then? You may not have heard everything, but I don't believe you didn't hear a single word! If you don't answer me honestly now, I'll break your fingers one by one, and I'll show you what cruelty is!" Ye Feng said in a chilling tone.
Liang Cheng'an could no longer hold back and said with tears streaming down his face, "I'll talk, I'll talk... They were speaking very softly, I really didn't hear everything, I didn't hear most of their conversation, but I heard four words... Xuanbing Spirit Palace!"
Mystic Ice Spirit Palace!
Ye Feng's expression changed slightly, wondering if this was just a coincidence.
The treasure map that Zhang Xianguang met with Li Lingyu was the treasure map of the treasure left behind by the Xuanbing Spirit Palace.
Chen Mingyu's disappearance is also related to the Xuanbing Spirit Palace.
Why does it feel like everything revolves around the Xuanbing Spirit Palace?
Does this mean that to find the missing Chen Mingyu and uncover the true nature of the Twelve Zodiacs, we must first find the Xuanbing Spirit Palace?
Ye Feng felt as if he had fallen into a fog, and everything in front of him became shrouded in mystery. The more he investigated, the further he got from the truth!
Lian Cheng was trembling all over, and even wet his pants. He sobbed and said, "I didn't lie to you. They were talking too softly, and I didn't dare to get too close, so I really didn't hear anything else. I only heard Xuanbing Linggong."
"That's because when Young Master Chen was talking to that mysterious man, he suddenly exclaimed and shouted 'Mysterious Ice Spirit Palace,' which is why I heard it... Really, I'm not lying to you."
This time, Liang Cheng'an was probably telling the truth.
He was so scared that he wet his pants.
He must be terrified to be telling the truth.
Ye Feng then released Liang Cheng'an's hand and slowly said, "I will investigate. If things are exactly as you say, I won't come looking for you again. But if I find out that you've lied to me, then I'll send your whole family to their graves!"
After saying this, Ye Feng teleported away.
After leaving Jin Yu Lou, Ye Feng did not leave. Instead, he leaped onto the roof and kept an eye on the movements inside Jin Yu Lou.
About half an hour later, a figure emerged furtively from the Golden Jade Pavilion and hurriedly ran towards the end of the street.
Who else could it be but Liang Cheng'an!
Liang Cheng'an is definitely up to something!
Night Wind sneered and followed Liang Cheng'an like a shadow.
Liang Cheng'an, who was running ahead, seemed to have noticed something and turned around to look at Ye Feng.
However, Ye Feng had already used the concealment technique to hide his figure and aura, so Liang Cheng'an, a mere Body Tempering Realm martial artist, naturally could not detect Ye Feng.
"strangeness……"
Liang Chengan scratched the back of his head and ran forward again.
Liang Cheng'an meandered through the streets and alleys, getting closer and closer to the city wall.
Ye Feng followed ten steps behind him, and Liang Cheng'an never left Ye Feng's sight from beginning to end.
Finally, Liang Chengan entered a small courtyard and pushed open the door to go inside.
It seems Liang Cheng'an is going to meet someone here!
