Xiao Feng ignored the attitudes of those around them and looked directly at Mo Cheng, asking him if the Poison Emperor was still resting at his residence.
Mo Cheng nodded, and Xiao Feng gracefully departed with Zhao Yuwei.
When Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei arrived at the room where the Poison King was located as quickly as possible, they saw a large crowd gathered in the courtyard.
Most of these people were very familiar to Xiao Feng, and he had even joked and played around with them before, because they were all the Poison King's confidants.
Their attitude towards Xiao Feng remained good, but they tacitly stopped calling him "son-in-law" and instead addressed him as "young master," using the same way Mo Cheng addressed him.
Xiao Feng spoke directly: "There's no need for formalities, everyone. I heard that my godfather was poisoned, so I rushed back to check on his condition. Since you're all here, you must know about my godfather's current situation."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
The Poison King is in bad shape; he is poisoned and no one has been able to cure him, nor have they found a way to detoxify him.
To put it bluntly, even the Poison King, an expert in poisons, was poisoned by this potent poison, which is enough to prove that this poison is extraordinary.
Xiao Feng had clearly thought of this as well, so he didn't linger here and went straight in to take a look.
Since returning to the Ming Cult, Xiao Feng could sense that most people were looking at Zhao Yuwei, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Feng even noticed the ill-intentioned glances that some people tried so hard to hide.
Even though this was the Poison King's territory, the Poison King was currently poisoned, so Xiao Feng dared not leave Zhao Yuwei alone outside. Therefore, Xiao Feng directly took Zhao Yuwei's hand and entered the room.
Among the crowd, there were clearly a few people whose eyes showed a faint dislike for Zhao Yuwei.
Seeing that Xiao Feng was about to take Zhao Yuwei into the room, the other party immediately tried to "kindly" remind Xiao Feng.
But before he could speak, he was stopped by the people around him.
This person originally wanted Xiao Feng to keep a low profile and remember his identity. Even though he had a conflict with Su Xueqing, he was still the son-in-law of the Ming Cult.
He can have a romantic entanglement with Zhao Yuwei, but he can't let Zhao Yuwei step on Su Xueqing's head.
But before he could even speak, the person next to him pulled him back.
The man whispered a warning in his ear: "Don't cause any more trouble! It's already a miracle that Young Master Xiao is back!"
The man spoke somewhat reluctantly: "Even so, you know who's in our Poison King's room right now. What if he brings that Miss Zhao in and angers our Holy Maiden?"
The subordinate who was pulling him around rolled his eyes and said directly, "This is none of your business. The young master came back to visit the Poison King."
"Don't tell me you don't know why the young master didn't leave Miss Zhao outside. Isn't it because the Ming Cult has a problem with their attitude towards Miss Zhao?"
The person who originally wanted to speak and argue further could only reluctantly shut their mouth.
Xiao Feng naturally noticed that someone had tried to stop him from bringing Zhao Yuwei into the room.
Xiao Feng didn't intend to pay any attention to it.
But the moment Xiao Feng and the others pushed open the door and went in, they met Su Xueqing's eyes, who was also in the room.
Xiao Feng remembered that Mo Cheng had told him that Su Xueqing and the Poison King were both seriously injured because of a traitor within the Ming Cult.
Xiao Feng had assumed that Su Xueqing was recuperating in her own courtyard, but he was surprised to find her at the Poison King's place.
An awkward atmosphere permeated the six of them.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei stood at the doorway, unsure whether to go in or back out.
Fortunately, the Poison King broke the awkward silence by saying, "You're back."
Upon hearing the Poison King's voice, Xiao Feng pursed his lips, lowered his head, and pulled Zhao Yuwei toward the Poison King.
Xiao Feng could feel Su Xueqing's gaze fixed on him, but he didn't want to pay attention to her and just pretended she didn't exist.
Although the Poison King was weak, he was not yet unconscious.
At this moment, he lay on the bed next to him with a bluish-black face, waving at Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.
"Come here quickly, I haven't seen you in so long." The Poison King said, coughing lightly twice.
Zhao Yuwei gently pushed Xiao Feng from behind, and Xiao Feng strode forward, quickly walking to the Poison King's bedside.
"Godfather," Xiao Feng called out with a worried voice.
“I’m fine, I just got some poisoning. You don’t need to worry too much. Tell me quickly, where have you been all this time? Ever since you entered that secret realm, I felt like you went to a very far place at some point.”
The Poison King pulled Xiao Feng's hand and made him sit on the edge of his bed, then asked Xiao Feng with concern.
Xiao Feng told the Poison Emperor everything about his trip to the Demon Realm during this period.
"You mean, you accidentally ended up in the territory of the demon race from that newly opened secret realm?" Wu Hai frowned.
"My son didn't know what kind of place that was either. It took a lot of effort to get out of there. Only after we got out did we realize that we had actually reached the heart of the demon realm."
Xiao Feng spoke helplessly.
The worry in Wu Hai's eyes eased a little.
He naturally knew about the things Su Xueqing had done.
Wu Hai hadn't expected that even after he had personally given Su Xueqing a heads-up, she would still remain stubbornly ignorant.
Wu Hai thought that Xiao Feng was truly fed up with the Ming Cult and wanted to escape, so he used some method to completely get away from the Ming Cult's territory.
Now, judging from Xiao Feng's words, he also encountered an accident, which is why he went to the demon realm.
Moreover, the fact that Xiao Feng rushed back so urgently after learning about my situation proves that he still has some feelings for me.
But before Wu Hai could do anything else, Xiao Feng stepped forward and took his pulse by pressing his wrist.
"My poison is very potent. I never expected they could obtain such a peculiar and deadly poison. I know my condition, so you don't need to worry too much. Now that you're back, get some rest. Don't get involved in the affairs of the Ming Cult."
Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard Wu Hai say that.
He remembered Mo Cheng telling him that Wu Hai wanted him to come back and help take charge of the overall situation, so why was his godfather now saying that he shouldn't get involved?
"Although I vaguely sensed that you might be thousands of miles away and guessed that you might be in the demon realm, I did not expect that Mo Cheng would actually find you. But why did you, child, not go to a safe place and hide for the time being, but instead ran back to the Ming Cult?"
Wu Hai spoke with some concern.
Xiao Feng knew after a moment's thought that Mo Cheng must have acted on his own initiative, but he didn't regret coming back. He was definitely going back to find a way to save Wu Hai.
