Just as Xiao Feng and the shopkeeper were exchanging glances, the door of the city lord's mansion opened again, and the steward hurriedly came out.
Xiao Feng and the shopkeeper turned to look at the steward who had just come out, and then the two of them began to exchange barbs with their eyes.
The butler, witnessing this scene, felt utterly bewildered. Why did these two dislike each other so much?
The butler was puzzled, but dared not ask any further questions.
The steward trotted down and stood between the two, trying to smooth things over: "Master, let me introduce you to this young friend, who is a distinguished guest of our City Lord's Mansion."
The steward then looked at Xiao Feng and introduced the identity of the shop owner.
Xiao Feng keenly noticed that when the steward said he was a distinguished guest of the city lord's mansion, the murderous intent on the shopkeeper weakened considerably.
Although his eyes still looked fierce, he no longer looked like he wanted to kill Xiao Feng in the street.
The butler then looked towards Xiao Feng.
Seeing the pleading look in the steward's eyes, Xiao Feng's heart softened.
He finally chuckled and said, "I just suddenly felt a bit itchy and wanted to spar. Anyway, I'm a little tired today, so let's go back and rest."
After saying this, Xiao Feng didn't even glance at the shopkeeper again, and directly took Zhao Yuwei's hand and returned to the city lord's mansion.
Xiao Feng didn't care why the shop owner happened to be here.
There is only the City Lord's Mansion on this street.
Even a fool could guess that the shop owner must have come to see that old ancestor.
It turns out that the ancestor wasn't unable to see people; he simply couldn't see him.
Xiao Feng felt inexplicably aggrieved.
"Are you in a bad mood? Is it because of that guy just now?" Zhao Yuwei sensed that Xiao Feng's mood had become depressed and spoke softly from the side.
Xiao Feng rested his head on her shoulder and said in a somewhat sullen voice, "Why won't the Ancestor see me? Is it because I came here to beg for his protection?"
Xiao Feng's words carried a hint of grievance, and Zhao Yuwei patted his arm with a touch of sympathy before speaking.
"Perhaps the ancestor really has been in seclusion all along, but due to an emergency, or perhaps he just came out of seclusion today, and this person just happened to arrive?"
Even Zhao Yuwei knew that this reason sounded unbelievable, but Xiao Feng could only use it to comfort himself now.
"Besides, we came to find the Ancestor in the first place to seek his protection. Although the Ancestor did not see you, staying in the City Lord's Mansion is indeed much safer than being outside. Haven't we already achieved our goal?"
Hearing that Xiao Feng's voice had perked up slightly, Zhao Yuwei continued to speak.
Xiao Feng thought about it and felt that Zhao Yuwei's words made sense.
Whether or not he can see the patriarch, as long as he is still in the city lord's mansion, the patriarch will definitely not stand by and watch him die.
Once Xiao Feng understood this, he instantly calmed down and stopped thinking about why the patriarch wanted to see the shop owner.
"Anyway, I'll live here, and the ancestor will see me sooner or later."
After saying this casually, Xiao Feng led Zhao Yuwei on a tour of his courtyard.
…
Outside the city of Mad Lion.
The Tianyi Sect Master, who had concealed his identity, was rapidly approaching the city.
In order to avoid being discovered by Mangchuan, he secretly came to find Xiao Feng. The Tianyi Sect Master directly left all the remaining people in Mangchuan's city.
He left them in the city lord's mansion in Mangchuan to mislead Mangchuan, while he, armed with the information he had gathered, rushed to Mad Lion City.
He had previously told Mang Chuan about Xiao Feng in the hope that Mang Chuan could find him as soon as possible.
But he wasn't stupid. Before he came, his ancestor had already explained Mang Chuan's character to him. He knew that Mang Chuan was someone who only took and never gave, who stole every last penny from a passing goose, and who loved to take advantage of small things.
If you ask him to help find Xiao Feng, he will do his best to find him.
But once he finds him, he will definitely search Xiao Feng's body thoroughly.
Then, Xiao Feng, who had been thoroughly investigated and stripped bare, was handed over to the Tianyi Sect Master and the others.
If Mang Chuan discovers that Xiao Feng's physical constitution is abnormal, Mang Chuan might even cripple Xiao Feng before handing him over to the Tianyi Sect Master.
But then, Xiao Feng wouldn't be of much use to the patriarch.
Therefore, sending the Tianyi Sect Master to find Mangchuan was only the first step.
Afterwards, the Tianyi Sect Master had to find a way to mislead Mangchuan, contact their real connections in the demon realm, find out about Xiao Feng, and then personally go and capture him.
No matter how much Mang Chuan coveted Xiao Feng's possessions, he could never snatch Xiao Feng from the hands of the Tianyi Sect Master.
So after entering the demon realm and finding out about Xiao Feng, the question becomes who is faster, him or Mang Chuan, and whoever catches Xiao Feng will succeed.
During this time, it was worth it for Sect Master Tianyi to spend all his time at Mangchuan's place, chatting and trying to get information out of him.
Although Mangchuan is one of the more intelligent demons among the demon race.
However, compared to the cunning and scheming Tianyi Sect Master, he was still easily tricked into revealing some useful information.
Mang Chuan knew, of course, that the Tianyi Sect Master and the others were also secretly continuing their search for Xiao Feng.
But Mang Chuan didn't take it to heart. After all, they were just some outsiders. How could they have a wider network of connections or a broader scope of investigation than he did?
In the end, the other party will most likely not be able to find Xiao Feng.
Unexpectedly, the people that the Tianyi Sect Master had contacted happened to have seen Xiao Feng leisurely taking a walk in Kuangshi City, and even knew that Xiao Feng was now living in the city lord's mansion in Kuangshi City.
The Sect Master of Tianyi knew what the City Lord's Mansion represented within the city.
He knew that Xiao Feng must have gotten involved with some other powerful demon again.
He had to find a way to capture Xiao Feng as soon as possible so that he could bring him back. So, he simply went to Mad Lion City on his own in secret.
The Sect Master of Tianyi had a very beautiful plan.
Now that he knows where Xiao Feng lives, he can definitely capture him if he shows up.
The Sect Master of Tianyi Sect had completely forgotten how Xiao Feng had previously dominated him, and was still gloating over his own misfortune.
He felt that he was more capable than Mang Chuan, that he was able to find out information about Xiao Feng, and that he could capture Xiao Feng first.
However, what the Tianyi Sect Master didn't know was that Mad Lion City was now off-limits to outsiders.
Even Xiao Feng was unaware of this news. It was only after the auction ended that the patriarch instructed the steward to spread the word to outsiders.
The old patriarch had specifically instructed the steward that Xiao Feng should not know about this matter unless Xiao Feng wanted to leave the city.
The housekeeper agreed to everything.
This resulted in the Tianyi Sect Master, who had secretly and painstakingly tracked down the city, being blocked outside the city gates because he did not have an identity token.
"Lion City is under lockdown! No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!"
The demon guards standing at the door roared angrily at the Tianyi Sect Master.
Their strength is naturally inferior to that of the Heavenly One Sect Master, but this is the Demon Realm.
If the Tianyi Sect Master dares to make a move here, their sect will perish along with him.
Therefore, the Sect Master of Tianyi Sect had no choice but to endure it.
The Tianyi Sect Master asked the demon guard in front of him when he could go in.
Will the city gates open when it gets light?
