At this moment, the four women of Chun Zhiyao coincidentally arrived at the entrance of the Practice Room. As they pushed open the door, they were shocked to see the disheveled appearance of Shangguan Wan'er inside!
"Young Master, are you alright?"
They rushed in immediately, and Chun Zhiyao said with heartache, "I told you not to practice the incomplete version of the 'Ni Chang Divine Skill.' Why don't you wait until the Fox Master finds the second half of the scroll? Your eagerness for success will only backfire!"
"It's nothing. I was just slightly out of breath while practicing, coughed up a few mouthfuls of congested blood, that's all."
Shangguan Wan'er took a few deep breaths and then wiped her white lips before asking, "What are you looking for me for?"
The four women exchanged glances, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
The Young Master is really too stubborn, always insisting on doing what's impossible, ultimately harming herself!
As she delves deeper into her practice, it will only become more dangerous. She might even go into deviation, leading to eternal damnation!
"Young Master, there's new news about Jiang Feng from Binhai..." Chun Zhiyao said bitterly.
They had no choice. Before going into seclusion, Shangguan Wan'er had strictly ordered not to disturb her for anything, except for news about Jiang Feng from Binhai, which must be reported!
That's why they had to come over.
"What news?"
As expected, upon hearing news about Jiang Feng, Shangguan Wan'er, who was pale a moment ago, immediately showed a concerned expression and asked.
Seeing this, Dong Ruyan sighed and said, "We just received the information that people from Binhai have contacted the Yihu Alliance, intending to ask them to deal with him!"
"Yihu Alliance!" Shangguan Wan'er's face changed upon hearing this!
The Yihu Alliance, like the Demon Moon Alliance, is a second-tier assassin organization in the country.
The difference is, although they are both second-tier, the strength of the Yihu Alliance surpasses that of the Demon Moon Alliance by a lot. It is as powerful as the arch-enemy of the Demon Moon Alliance, the Sky Wolf Alliance!
Moreover, the Yihu Alliance and the Demon Moon Alliance have always maintained a relatively good relationship, so often, news between the two sides is exchanged. That's why whenever there's something going on with the Yihu Alliance, the Demon Moon Alliance can receive the news!
"That bastard, can't he stay out of trouble for once, always causing trouble..." Knowing the terror of the Yihu Alliance, Shangguan Wan'er said angrily.
"Someone like him, even if he wants to keep a low profile, troubles will find him," Dong Ruyan recalled Jiang Feng's figure at the Yan's Death Battle Arena in Binhai and snorted coldly.
At this, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't hold back a surge of anger again, once more spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The Four Guards were startled and hurriedly moved forward to tend to her. Xia Qinya said, "Young Master, you can't keep going on like this. Why don't we inform Aunt Lan and have her bring someone to treat you..."
"No need!" Shangguan Wan'er, her face pale again, waved her hand: "This little injury doesn't need to trouble Aunt Lan."
The four women wanted to say something but stopped. Dong Ruyan, seeing Shangguan Wan'er's worried look, couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Young Master, is it really worth it for you to go to such lengths for someone like that?
In fact, everyone present, except Shangguan Wan'er herself, could see that her attitude towards Jiang Feng was no longer just pure hatred. She was already entangled in an emotional calamity, deeply involved!
The so-called need to kill Jiang Feng with her own hands was just an excuse to deceive herself.
This is precisely why Kong Guyoulan has been trying to help her kill Jiang Feng, to set her free!
But this matter, they would not tell Shangguan Wan'er. They would only secretly follow Aunt Lan's orders to carry it out.
"Young Master, please take care of yourself. If you ever feel something wrong, remember to notify us immediately!" Chun Zhiyao said with worry.
"I'm fine." Shangguan Wan'er took a difficult breath, then straightened her back and said to Dong Ruyan: "Ruyan, do me a favor."
"What is it, Young Master?" Dong Ruyan immediately stepped forward and asked.
"If possible, in these two days, take a trip for me, go to Binhai, and tell that bastard Jiang Feng to be careful! It's best to hide away; make sure not to let the Yihu Alliance's people find him. Avoiding a disaster is a blessing..." Shangguan Wan'er said with a complex expression, yet helplessly to Dong Ruyan.
Upon hearing this, not only was Dong Ruyan astonished, but Chun Zhiyao, Xia Qinya, and Qiu Miaomiao also all looked at Shangguan Wan'er in disbelief.
There was a hint of unnatural blush on Shangguan Wan'er's face, but she still pretended to be indifferent: "Go! Come see me once it's done!"
"Yes." Dong Ruyan had no choice but to agree.
Then, she exchanged glances with the other three guards and had to leave the room together with a bitter heart.
At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, walked barefoot to the window, and stared blankly towards the north.
She was lost in her worried thoughts!
This time, could that bastard Jiang Feng successfully get through the dangerous crisis?
...
Jiang Feng was unaware of the swirling undercurrents that had occurred overnight.
At dawn the next morning, he arrived in Jinxiu City as agreed and knocked on the door of Situ Yan's house.
Situ Yan had been waiting for quite some time, and upon seeing Jiang Feng's appearance, she was immediately filled with anger.
The events of the night before last were still vivid in her mind. This bastard had been so reckless, nearly getting himself killed!
And she and he had almost lost control in the deserted fields of Mai Di, almost creating an unstoppable disaster.
What annoyed her even more was that she had inadvertently taken the initiative again, and this guy rejected her once more!
Moreover, when Xu Weiguo and others arrived, he just left, leaving her to take the credit alone.
Now, the city was filled with news of her commendation, making her feel guilty.
"Are you going dressed like that?" Jiang Feng saw Situ Yan glaring directly at him, unaware of her inner turmoil, and asked with some confusion.
If he remembers correctly, today is her grandfather's birthday!
Yet, at this moment, Situ Yan was dressed so casually that she even wore less than usual!
She was wearing just a sports T-shirt on top and a pair of sports shorts on the bottom, while it still showed off her impressive figure and her fair, smooth long legs, it was her natural beauty that stood out, and her outfit was actually a detracting factor.
Moreover, she wasn't wearing any makeup, her face was bare, and her hair was tied in a simple ponytail, as if she were just going to a market rather than attending a birthday banquet.
This was completely contrary to what Situ Jingjie had previously instructed her, to dress up meticulously and beautifully to meet the He Family.
"Then what should I wear?" Situ Yan glared at Jiang Feng, countering.
"Ahem, nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything." Jiang Feng laughed helplessly.
He had already understood Situ Yan's attitude. Situ Yan was genuinely resistant to today's meeting with the He Family, carrying a sense of hostility, which is why she refused to conform.
"Enough chattering, let's go!" Situ Yan put on a pair of sneakers at the door, then grabbed Jiang Feng's arm and linked hers through it, leaving together.
Jiang Feng frowned slightly but didn't resist her holding his arm. After she locked the door, they went downstairs together.
However, as soon as they stepped outside the apartment building, they were shocked to see five off-road vehicles parked on the road outside the neighborhood!
A group of young men with stern expressions stood there glaring coldly, led by none other than Situ Jingjie!
More than thirty young men, all eyeing them fiercely, surrounded Situ Jingjie with a clear intent: to block Jiang Feng's path!
