Chapter 166 I was just being polite, why did you really agree?
Ye Li did not close the door at this time, so she heard everything the servant said clearly.
Ye Li guessed that it was 99.99% Feng Ling and his people, but why did they have to look for Teng Xi? Could it be that they found her here?
How did Feng Ling know?
Seeing the worry in Ye Li's eyes, Teng Xi gave her a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, Li, I won't bring them to you." After saying that, Teng Xi winked at the servant and then walked towards the gate.
After Teng Xi left, Ye Li closed the door tightly, then she drank a bottle of invisibility potion, climbed over the high wall, and quietly followed Teng Xi.
She was a little curious about how Feng Ling found her.
…
As the spacious door was opened from the middle, Feng Ling stood up and looked into Teng Xi's eyes. Neither of them wanted to speak first, tacitly.
The servant cleared his throat and broke the silence. "This is our mansion master, Master Tengxi. May I ask what do you want to talk to us about?"
"Hello, sir. We came to your house to look for someone. To be more precise, it should be a female. May I ask if you have any new females recently?"
Feng Ling's tone was as gentle and polite as possible. The immaturity on his face had completely faded away, and he now looked even more handsome and eye-catching than before.
"No, you can go back." Teng Xi's tone was cold. He raised his hand and ordered the servant to close the door.
Just as the door was about to close, Feng Ling stretched out a hand and forcefully blocked the door from closing.
His current fire ability has just broken through to the ninth level, so it is easy for him to block the power of a servant whose cultivation level is less than the sixth level.
The breath Feng Ling exhaled became hotter and hotter. The more Teng Xi tried to stop them from going in, the more Feng Ling felt that there was something fishy going on.
"I wonder if this gentleman will allow us to go in and look for him in person. That person is really important to me."
He exuded the pressure of a ninth-order alien beastman, and his voice was three parts tentative and seven parts assertive, as if he was going to force his way in if he disagreed with them.
However, Teng Xi’s current cultivation level is less than the ninth level. If they fight directly, he may not be Feng Ling’s opponent.
"Are you planning to force your way in?" Teng Xi's expression was mixed with anger. He waved behind him, and then dozens of men in black jumped out from the darkness one after another.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air at this moment.
Ye Li, who was secretly watching the show from the side, clicked her tongue. They were about to start fighting before they could finish three sentences.
Ye Li was just about to be a spectator when she saw Feng Ling raise his hand to stop the people behind him from drawing their swords.
"Lord Tengxi, I have come from afar and have gone through a long journey, but I don't want to fight with you."
"Doing this will hurt the relationship, and there will definitely be casualties on both sides. How about we both make concessions? You gather all the females in the mansion, and I'll take a look and then leave."
Teng Xi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and felt that this was feasible. If his target was really Ye Li, then he just had to not call Ye Li out.
After thinking for a moment, Teng Xi nodded and ordered the servants to gather all the females in the courtyard together.
The servants moved quickly. In less than an incense stick of time, all the females except Ye Li were gathered here.
"These are all the females in our mansion. Lord Phoenix, please take a look?" Teng Xi snorted with displeasure, then stood aside and let Feng Ling check them carefully.
Feng Ling looked at each female carefully, and after searching for a long time, he did not see the shadow of the person in his memory.
He gradually began to doubt himself and the priest's words.
"Priest, are you sure Sister Li is here?"
The priest was also surprised. The divination showed that the female was in this mansion, or more specifically, in this courtyard.
But the people in front of me are not like that. It really is like seeing a ghost.
On this day, the Phoenix Priest who had lived for hundreds of years suddenly began to doubt the accuracy of his predictions and divinations.
Teng You, who was standing among the females, suddenly asked, "Master Teng Xi, where is Jiuli? Did you forget her?"
Ye Li and Teng Xi both had a silence in their eyes: Listen to me saying thank you~ because of you~
"Oh! So you are hiding a female. Hand her over quickly! Otherwise we will have to search for her ourselves."
"Don't blame us if we break anything then."
Since Teng Xi had let them all in, it would not be easy to ask them to leave.
Looking at Feng Ling's arrogant expression and actions, Teng Xi became more certain that the person in front of him was the killer who was chasing Ye Li.
Then we can't let people out...
At this moment, Teng You suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.
Teng Xi laughed instead of getting angry, "Your Excellency Phoenix, you are joking. I just sent that female out to buy something. There is nothing to hide. If you are not in a hurry, you can just sit down and wait."
Feng Ling sat down on the stone bench without any hesitation, poured a cup of tea into the cup and sipped it.
"In that case, let's wait."
Teng Xi said that the last words he said were just polite, really just polite.
How did Feng Ling really agree? Didn't he realize that I just wanted to be polite with him?
Teng Xi cleared his throat and said, "In this case, we can't let the distinguished guest who has come from afar wait for too long. Ming, go out and urge Jiuli to come back quickly."
He winked at the servant waiting beside him, and then whispered something in his ear.
"Please wait a moment, sir." The servant bowed slightly and then strode out the door.
Ye Li, who was watching the show silently at the side, was neither standing nor sitting. The atmosphere was extremely quiet and she was afraid that if she moved, she would cause some noise and attract other people's attention.
Judging from what Teng Xi said, he seemed to want to find someone to pretend to be him and deal with Feng Ling.
The priest sitting opposite Feng Ling, who was already in self-doubt, kept repeating the same hexagram.
Six golden copper coins clattered on the table.
But no matter how he calculated, the final hexagram showed that the female was in this villa.
Could it be that he hid in a crack in the ground? Or maybe he became invisible?
If the priest had not predicted that Ye Li was still alive, he would have even begun to suspect that Teng Xi had killed Ye Li and buried her deep underground in this small courtyard.
Feng Ling stretched out a finger and drew circles on the water stain on the table with her fingertips.
Thinking it was fun, he deliberately added more tea to the cup until it overflowed.
The clear tea was a light dark green in color, and the blurry shadows of the sky were reflected on the water. Suddenly, he paused and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
