After hearing Xiao Feng's idea, Pang Tong pondered and said, "It sounds feasible, but as far as I know, Gu Shi also seems unable to figure out who is the descendant of his enemy. Would he fall for it?"
"Let's each do our job. You guys are responsible for setting the trap, and I'll make sure Gu Shi walks right into it. Don't worry about how I'm going to do it," Xiao Feng decisively said.
Pang Tong exchanged a glance with the two people beside him and said, "Ever since we ca in, your guys have been wary of us.
To put it bluntly, how can we be sure you won't secretly work with Gu Shi and turn on us?"
"If you're saying that, then there's nothing I can do." Xiao Feng sneered, "You have your worries, and I have mine.
According to your logic, how can I be sure that you three are setting up the trap to deal with Gu Shi instead of secretly plotting with him to take down?"
Hearing this, Gu Shi's face beca very unpleasant: "Wasn't the previous ten million enough to show my sincerity?"
"Is that enough to show sincerity?" Xiao Feng said with amusent, "You're getting up there in age, why say such childish things? If I wanted to get rid of you, how confident are you that you could escape?
Also, please recognize the situation?
Do you seriously think you're qualified to talk to as an equal?"
These words were extrely harsh.
Pang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "So you're saying you want to go back on your word?"
"I've never done such a thing." Xiao Feng chuckled, "Just hypothetically, even if I did, what could you do?"
"You!"
"You think my words are unpleasant?
Don't rush; I haven't even said the most unpleasant ones yet.
It's Pang Tong who wants to kill you, and you reluctantly sought out to team up.
In other words, I can still protect myself without you, but without , you're dood, understand?"
Pang Tong's face turned from red to purple, eventually snorting coldly and saying, "Let's go!"
Xiao Feng didn't stop them, allowing the trio to walk out towards the door.
As Pang Tong was about to leave, he paused and, without turning his head, said, "When we've made arrangents, we'll co to find you again."
"Take care and goodbye!" Xiao Feng said cheerfully with a wave, feeling imnsely satisfied.
After the trio left, Xue Nuofu frowned slightly and said, "Your words earlier were quite provocative."
"What?" Xiao Feng said displeased, "Wasn't I telling the truth?"
"Even if it is the truth, not leaving Pang Tong any face might lead to him holding a grudge and setting a trap for us while also setting one for Gu Shi."
"If he planned to trap us from the start, it wouldn't matter whether I said those words or not. Besides, he brought it on himself.
He ca to asking to cooperate; I wasn't the one eager to team up with him. Who holds the initiative here? He asked for it."
Xue Nuofu shook his head, choosing not to dwell on the matter, instead asking, "Do you really plan to capture all of Gu Shi's enemies together?"
"Old Xue, how did your brain grow?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh, "You believe everything I say?
Gu Shi has lots of enemies, and since the village is gone, it's impossible to gather them together in a short ti."
"Then how will you lure Gu Shi into the trap?" Xue Nuofu asked in confusion.
Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously, "You don't need to worry about that, I have my thods."
As he finished speaking, he got up and walked toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Xue Nuofu asked.
Xiao Feng turned back, grinning, "Going to your old workplace."
"My old workplace..."
Xue Nuofu mumbled to himself and quickly realized Xiao Feng ant the Demon Suppression Action Team.
...
Ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, ten thousand miles of dust, one dynasty's emperor, one dynasty's minister.
This poem perfectly encapsulates Xiao Feng's mood as he once again approached the mansion, which served as the Jiangcheng base for the Demon Suppression Action Team.
What moved Xiao Feng so much was the significant changes within the Demon Suppression Action Team.
This was evident before he even got close to the mansion.
Firstly, the flowers planted along the roadside were no longer Christmas Roses but the sturdy plum blossoms.
Moreover, the streetlamps on either side had also changed designs.
Other details were quite different from his previous impressions.
Whether this was Hua Ling's special arrangent was unknown, but it was certainly different from the ti when Xue Nuofu was in charge.
Xiao Feng strode into the mansion, his path unobstructed.
However, he knew very well that his movents had long been detected, and he was rely not intercepted due to orders.
As Xiao Feng stepped inside the house, the basent door opened, and Li Ying erged, greeting him indifferently, "You're here."
"From your expression and tone, it seems you're not too thrilled to see ?" Xiao Feng wondered aloud, not recalling having offended this tough lady.
Li Ying gave a perfect fake smile and replied, "You know the saying, 'nothing cos out of visiting the temple.' Since you're here, just speak your mind."
"Where's Hua Ling?" Xiao Feng got straight to the point.
Li Ying snorted, sounding frustrated, "Downstairs putting on makeup."
"Makeup?" Xiao Feng was suddenly curious, "As the head of the Demon Suppression Action Team, is she really being so unserious?"
"If you weren't here, she'd be working hard."
"Does that imply that she's putting on makeup because I'm here?"
As they spoke, the basent door opened again.
Xiao Feng and Li Ying turned to look, and simultaneously beca dumbfounded.
A short girl with heavy eyeshadow and cheeks as red as a monkey's behind erged. If not for her unique stature, she was almost unrecognizable.
"Ahem, just checking," Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow, adopting an odd expression, "Are you... Hua Ling?"
Hua Ling lowered her head slightly, seemingly embarrassed, "Really? I'm just wearing simple makeup, but did I beco so beautiful you can't recognize ?"
"..." Li Ying's mouth twitched profusely, thinking the person before her must have so misunderstanding about the word "beautiful."
Xiao Feng held back his laughter, pulling out his phone, "Co on, let take a picture."
"Sure! Sure!" Hua Ling nodded in agreent, making a peace sign.
Hmm... Feeling cute!
"Don't!" Li Ying imdiately stepped forward, blocking the lens and asked Hua Ling, "Do you know what you look like now?"
Hua Ling said confidently, "Although I didn't look in the mirror, I'm sure I'm very pretty, thanks to my natural beauty."
"If you didn't look in the mirror, how did you put on the makeup?"
"Based on feeling, Li Ying, didn't you say my base is good, so putting on light makeup makes pretty?
This ti, I went heavy, so I'm definitely prettier, right?"
Li Ying sighed, rubbing her forehead, and pulled out her phone, opening the front cara, already unwilling to comnt.
Hua Ling, clueless, took the phone, imdiately bursting into laughter, saying between laughs, "Who is this ugly thing, so funny, hahaha!"
Xiao Feng and Li Ying exchanged looks, feeling at a loss for words.
Was this the legendary "laugh at yourself first"?
