Chapter 748: Chapter 317: Captured
“Why do you want to kill me?”
Lai Wenxiu couldn’t help but shake his head gently as he heard Xiao Feng ask:
“Do you really not know?”
After careful consideration, Xiao Feng seriously shook his head: “I do not know, please enlighten me, Lord Lai.”
“Why waste words? Just kill him.”
Deng Fengbai glanced at Lai Wenxiu.
Lai Wenxiu laughed:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, being the foremost person in Donghuang, still should not be penalized without teaching, even if it’s for Xiao Xiong’s sake, today he should be allowed to die with understanding.
“I will ask you… what exactly did you say in front of Xing Lan today?
“Why, after you visited him, did Xing Lan immediately rush to the Tenth Hall, claiming that the murderer of Wu Yong was right within this Tenth Hall?
“Before visiting Xing Lan, you also saw Lord Su… what exactly did you say in front of Lord Su?”
Lady Wan’s grand scheme was indeed hasty.
Seeing Xing Lan rushing to the Tenth Hall, the matter was already difficult to salvage.
With various constraints in place, Lady Wan could no longer afford to wait.
Once the situation truly began to change beyond control, it meant the end of her play.
Thus, when Xing Lan hurried to the Tenth Hall and the situation was escalating, Lady Wan finally decided to act.
As long as they acted swiftly, even if there were some gaps in the entire plan, none would matter by then.
After all, the issue with Wan Yutang was genuine, and his downfall today was because he recklessly offended Su Mo.
This drama had been playing out exactly according to plan until now.
However, after Wan Yutang got injured by Su Mo and rescued by people from the Dark Hall.
The details that were previously neglected now also needed to be addressed.
Before Xing Lan went to the Tenth Hall today, Xiao Feng had visited him.
These two were people who should have nothing to do with each other.
Xiao Feng, who had not visited Xing Lan at the Seventh Hall for many years, just happened to visit today.
What’s more fatal, before visiting Xing Lan, he visited Su Mo…
Thinking about this, it was quite startling.
However, it’s relieving that Xiao Feng should not know much.
It’s presumed that he didn’t say anything in front of Su Mo; otherwise, today’s drama couldn’t have continued.
Su Mo would have seen through their schemes long ago.
And if Xiao Feng truly had some clues, going to see Su Mo was probably to negotiate terms.
Because they all knew Xiao Feng’s predicament.
After the ‘disappearance’ of his father, Xiao Xiong, others might disregard it, but as a son, Xiao Feng couldn’t ignore it.
Seeing this foremost man of Donghuang arriving, yet being slandered as the murderer of Wu Yong.
If he had any leads, he naturally wanted to leverage it to gain favor in front of Su Mo.
Then Xiao Feng went to find Xing Lan, and Xing Lan’s rush to the Tenth Hall also made sense.
Now, as this drama was nearing its end, it seemed the overall situation was set.
But Xiao Feng was ultimately a loose end that could not be ignored.
Unable to find a suitable chance during the day, the two hall leaders decided to join forces and kill him at night.
But before that, Lai Wenxiu still wanted to know what exactly Xiao Feng had said to Su Mo?
“…”
Xiao Feng held a hand on the knife handle, his expression was full of gravity, evidently deep in thought.
Seeing this, Lai Wenxiu focused intently, while Deng Fengbai’s gaze swept over various vital points around Xiao Feng, ready to violently attack and take his life at any moment.
After a long pause, Xiao Feng seriously answered:
“I said nothing.”
“…”
Nobody would believe that!
Lai Wenxiu subconsciously frowned and said in a deep voice: “If you said nothing, then why did you go to see him?”
After careful thought, Xiao Feng realized he couldn’t carelessly speak about any part of his visit with Su Mo today, so he simply replied:
“For tea.”
Lai Wenxiu almost laughed out loud.
He gently shook his head:
“Xiao Feng, oh Xiao Feng, ever since your father Xiao Xiong was harmed by Wan Yutang.
“I knew that your movement within Wusheng Hall has been severely hindered.
“The position of Second Hall Master should have been yours, but now what?
“Without support, you had to assume the role of Vice Hall Master of the Second Hall at such a young age.
“What does this indicate?
“It means ‘undeserving of your role’!
“Therefore, your cautious words and actions, we all understand.
“Ordinary matters, considering you’re just a youngster, we might not truly take you seriously.
“But this time… you’ve gone too far.”
After listening, Xiao Feng nodded and then asked:
“What do you mean?”
“It means that today next year will be the anniversary of your death!
“Old Lai, stop talking to him, this kid knows what’s going on but plays dumb. He’s just toying with us two, better kill him quickly.
“If we delay longer and accidentally encounter Lord Su again.
“Then we can’t explain ourselves.”
Deng Fengbai had already been impatient, and after he spoke, he immediately leapt towards Xiao Feng.
Yet before he arrived, his Hand Power had already reached.
Looking up, he saw Deng Fengbai’s Palm pausing with extreme gravity, suddenly rising, accompanied by an intensely Vigorous Wind.
This was the Tenth Hall’s inherited Absolute Skill [Mountain Pushing Palm]!
The Hand Power was extremely powerful, pushing mountains with one hand, truly extraordinary.
Lai Wenxiu, hearing Deng Fengbai say this, also tensed up.
The renown of this foremost person of Donghuang was indeed too formidable, and seeing Su Mo twice briefly, his martial arts skills were indeed unfathomable.
