Chapter 397: The Rescue of Xiao Feng

With Zhang Hao, the master of the third room, leading the way, they successfully entered Ciyun Mansion. Bai He finally somewhat understood why Zhang Hao had said that Ciyun Mansion was different from the people outside.

Outside, one could feel the sense of corruption at any time and anywhere. But here... Bai He felt a sense of vitality everywhere. The people here were no longer lifeless and gloomy.

"The people who come here are all the kind of people you already know about, Master. If you have not committed any major crimes, you can come here to reform yourself, and then live here afterward. The person in charge of Ciyun Mansion will protect everyone here and make sure they are not harmed."

For those with minor sins and weak strength, coming here was the best place to seek shelter. But how could those with deep sins and powerful strength be willing to come to this place and live an ordinary, uneventful life for the rest of their lives?

That was why the people here were not very strong.

"Xiao Feng is not someone with serious sins. There should not be any major problems for him here, right?"

"I heard that a woman took a liking to Second Senior Brother and insisted on marrying him. Second Senior Brother refused no matter what, so..."

Bai He tugged at the corner of his mouth. There did not seem to be anything wrong with this plot.

Was this not the kind of situation where someone stubbornly refused to marry another person now, only to fall in love with them later and end up suffering through the pursuit of his wife?

This Xiao Feng... Bai He sighed inwardly. He would understand it in the future.

"Ahem, well, where is Xiao Feng now?"

"He may have been locked up. The place where he is being held might be right behind this wall."

As they spoke, they arrived at an unoccupied area. There was a wall right beside them, and Zhang Hao pointed toward the other side as he answered.

"Are you saying you want us to climb over the wall?"

"Yes. What else would we do?"

Bai He had thought they could openly ask someone to release Xu Feng. So in the end, they still had to use this kind of method.

"There are not that many people here, and there should not be many guards inside either. Simply put, we should be able to get in without much trouble. But whether we will alert that person, I cannot guarantee." Zhang Hao’s expression still looked somewhat conflicted.

"I will go inside first and take a look," Ye Shiyuan suggested.

"We will go together." Bai He did not want to make things difficult for Zhang Hao.

"Master, Senior Brother, if you two do this, it makes me look extremely disloyal. No, I am going with you too."

After climbing over the wall, they could see a large courtyard inside. Just as Zhang Hao had said, there was not a single person there.

After all, there was probably no one here who would dare to break into this place. Since this person had lived here for nearly a hundred years, it also meant that everyone already knew how powerful she was.

Naturally, no one would dare to act recklessly. The only room in the courtyard that was lit up should have someone inside.

Bai He quietly approached and carefully poked a small hole through the window. Through it, he could see the silhouette of someone inside.

"Who is it?"

A sword was suddenly pointed at Bai He’s neck and he did not dare to move at all.

"Master?" When Xu Feng saw Bai He, he practically wanted to throw his arms around him. However, Ye Shiyuan stepped forward, and Xu Feng naturally directed that embrace toward Ye Shiyuan instead.

"Senior Brother, you are here too." His aggrieved expression was truly enough to move anyone. Was he really that unwilling to marry someone else?

"Ahem. I heard that you did not want to marry someone else, so that was why you were locked up in this place?"

Xu Feng nodded. "Mm. Master, Senior Brother, you have to save me. Please save me and get me out of this place. I do not want to marry that woman."

Whenever he mentioned that woman, Xu Feng looked as though he had seen some terrifying beast. Bai He was speechless. Was it really necessary? In the original story, she was actually quite beautiful.

"You really do not want to marry her that badly? Why do you not think about it again? When it comes to matters of love, feelings can also slowly develop after getting married."

Bai He tried to persuade him, but Xu Feng stubbornly shook his head and refused. "Master, impossible. Do not say anything more. There is no way I could ever develop any feelings for her in this lifetime. Master, are you really going to just stand by and watch your disciple jump into a pit of fire?"

What was he talking about? Bai He was trying to persuade him and help him. Did he really have to wait until Xu Feng developed feelings for her in the future and then come back to pursue her? If he wanted to come back and pursue her again, it would not be so easy.

"Ahem. As your Master, I have already calculated your fortunes. The two of you are a match made in heaven. There is no mistake about it."

"Master, do not scare me." Xu Feng’s face was filled with fear.

Zhang Hao looked at Bai He in astonishment. "Master, you have not even met that person, yet you can calculate her fortune?"

Bai He coughed lightly and continued, "I do not need to meet the other person to calculate their fortune. Xiao Feng, you only need to know that this time, you will meet your benefactor, who will also be the person who accompanies you for the rest of your life."
