"What's wrong? Are you going to meet her or not? Our leader won't eat people."
"Let me tell you a secret. Our leader is a great beauty."
Seeing Du Feng in a daze, Miss Lan also deliberately added that Shanghai Yun was a great beauty. In fact, even without Miss Lan's introduction, Du Feng also knew that Shanghai Yun was a great beauty. Otherwise, he would not have been so fascinated by her in the first place. This led to the disappearance of his father, the Pill Emperor, and the fate of the entire Pill Emperor Island was unknown.
"This …"
Frankly speaking, Du Feng was a little hesitant. He was not ready to meet Shanghai Yun, at least not now. Because his father, the Pill Emperor, had not been found, and his own strength was not enough. His original plan was to enter the Cloud Capital's inner city first, inquire about some information, or at least find the hideout where the Pill Emperor was hiding.
According to his previous experience, as long as he looked hard, he would be able to find it. When Li Jun was taken all the way from the East Continent to the northernmost part of the North Continent, he still found it. So if he went to the Cloud Capital's inner city, as long as he looked hard, he would be able to find his father.
But now, he had not yet entered the inner city, and Shanghai Yun took the initiative to send an invitation. This was different from the plan. Du Feng's brain was working quickly, thinking about the reason for this matter. Could it be that Shanghai Yun suspected his identity and wanted to trick him into the inner city to investigate?
Or was it because Miss Lan was her sister, and she was just curious to see her? Both possibilities were possible, but if it was the first one, then Du Feng's life would be in danger. He was not afraid that he could not beat Shanghai Yun, nor was he afraid of the Ascendant Realm Ninth Level Left Protector.
The key problem was that Shanghai Yun had a wide network in the Cloud Capital's inner city. It was very likely that she had invited several Ultimate Emperor Realm experts to set a trap for him.
Du Feng believed that Miss Lan would not harm him, but she was so innocent that it was very likely that she did not know how vicious Shanghai Yun was. She foolishly thought that Elder Sister Shangguan was being kind and was helping her to check.
"Wait until my shop opens in the inner city, then I'll go see your Alliance Master. It's too shabby to go now."
Du Feng quickly found a reasonable reason for himself, because all men wanted a name. Since he was Miss Lan's friend and wanted to meet her elder sister, he naturally had to have a certain status. Right now, he was just a temporary resident of the outer city.
When he got back, he would ask Cai Kangyong to apply for a permanent residence in the outer city of Cloud Capital. Then, he would think of a way to get a pass for the inner city. With the Inner City Pass, he could approach the truth step by step. Du Feng had a feeling that his father, the Pill Sovereign, was definitely not dead. That was a feeling that came from the depths of his soul, so there was no mistaking it.
If he rashly entered the inner city now, he might ruin the important matter and cause the Alchemy Sovereign to be harmed. Those people who imprisoned the Pill Sovereign simply wanted to make use of his alchemy skills. As long as the Pill Sovereign could continue refining pills, his life would not be in danger.
"Alright, you stinky men love to save face."
Miss Lan fiercely took a bite of the leg of lamb before reluctantly agreeing. She thought about it and felt that it made sense. In the future, Elder Sister Shangguan would not despise Du Feng for being shabby, but the people of her family were all snobbish. Du Feng was currently a small boss in the outer city, and he had also obtained the qualifications of a Level Eight Array Master. It seemed that he was doing well.
However, compared to those big families in the inner city, he was indeed not enough. By thinking this way, it could be considered that he was giving her face. Miss Lan pondered for a while and immediately stopped being angry.
"Phew …"
Seeing that Miss Lan agreed, Du Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that this was the case, he still had to be careful. Because it was very likely that Shangguan Yun was testing him through Miss Lan. As long as she refused to go, it meant that there was a certain hidden reason. Hopefully, this reason could fool her for the time being.
"I'm taking this pot of soup away!"
Miss Lan was still as old as before. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she didn't forget to take it away.
"Take it away!"
Although Du Feng said that, he was actually thinking about something else. Maybe because things had been handled too smoothly recently, he had actually overlooked the biggest threat from the inner city of the Cloud Capital. Qin Yongjie, the Ding Family, and the Guigu Family were actually nothing. The leader of the Life League, Shangguan Yun, and the higher-ups of the Cloud Capital who imprisoned his father, the Alchemy Emperor, were his biggest enemies.
Right now, they didn't know what relationship Du Feng had with the Alchemy Emperor. Once they figured it out, they would probably kill him at any time.
"Why? Is he not willing to come?"
After Miss Lan returned, Shangguan Yun really asked her.
"He's a person who wants to save face, so he's too embarrassed to come now."
Of course, Miss Lan didn't know Shangguan Yun's intentions, nor did she know that Du Feng was on guard against the Life League. She was stuck in the middle like a fool. She was good friends with Shangguan Yun, and at the same time, she was good friends with Du Feng. Moreover, her feelings for Miss Du Feng didn't seem to be as simple as that of a good friend.
"It's okay. All men are like that."
Although Shangguan Yun said that it was okay, countless thoughts flashed through her mind. This Du Feng's identity was really not bad. It seemed that there was a need to find an expert to test him. This expert couldn't be someone from the Life League, or else it would be bad if Sister Lan found out.
An idea came to her mind, and she immediately contacted one of the members of the Adjudicator Team. Shangguan Yun herself was a member of the Adjudicator Organization, so it was naturally the most convenient and reliable way for her to contact a member of the Adjudicator Organization.
Du Feng was in the backyard of his shop, but he felt inexplicably flustered. Even when he lured Qin Yongjie into the city, he didn't feel this flustered. His intuition was very accurate. This flustered must mean that something was going to happen.
He pondered for a moment and decided that he couldn't stay here any longer. If he continued to stay in the shop, he was afraid that Xiao Hui, Qin Siling, and all the workers in the shop would be in trouble. This time, the enemy was coming in full force and no longer cared about the laws of the Cloud Capital.
Du Feng's guess was right. Be it the Moon Worshipping Cult or the Adjudicator Organization, they wouldn't care about the laws of the Cloud Capital. They had always done things without any restrictions, and they were usually looked down upon by others anyway, so it didn't matter if they did one more bad thing.
"What? You said that Du Feng went out again?"
Cai Kangyong had arranged for someone to be near Du Feng's shop, and when he saw him go out, he immediately reported him. This time, even an old fox like Cai Kangyong couldn't figure out what was going on. Qin Yongjie's matter had been settled, so why didn't Du Feng run the shop to make money? Why did he go out? Who knew if he had replenished the goods?
