"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, why are you here? Where's my father?"
Su Susu hurriedly opened the carriage door and walked out. Du Feng had no choice but to follow. Since they were Miss Su's family, there shouldn't be any problems. He could tell that Su Susu's second and third uncles were not weak. They were definitely experts among the peak Ultimate Emperor Realm martial artists. They had also brought a large number of people with them. There were roughly two hundred of them. They were all wearing leather armor, and some of them were on horseback with crossbows. It was as if they were leading an army to war.
"Did you buy the item? Bring it over."
Miss Su's third uncle was quite young. He didn't seem much older than her. He was very concerned about the item that he had bought.
"Wait, who is he?"
Before Su Susu could answer, her Second Uncle interrupted her. He pointed the whip in his hand at Du Feng. The Su Family's operation was confidential. How could they let others know?
"I was injured. Miss Su, thank you for saving me."
Du Feng didn't like being pointed at with a whip, but since it was Su Susu's second uncle, he didn't mind. After all, the Su Family was not very knowledgeable. They might think that he was here for the treasure. He didn't care about the treasure that a low-level martial artist's family had bought.
"Injured? Where were you injured? Where were you saved? Where are you from? Where are you going? "
In the end, the Second Uncle asked Du Feng a lot of questions, which made Du Feng very embarrassed. He had already made up an identity, saying that he was chased out of the immortal city. He couldn't change his story now. But he didn't know which immortal cities were in the Heaven Realm. He didn't even know the name of one of them. If he couldn't make up a story, he would definitely be exposed.
"My family was originally in East Immortal City, but because I offended …"
Du Feng was really good at making up stories. He rolled his eyes and made up a long story in a blink of an eye. Since there were so many immortal cities in the Heaven Realm, the other party might not be able to recognize him. Especially the name East Immortal City. It felt like no matter if it was the Lower Realm or the Heaven Realm, there would always be one or two of them. Even the Qian Kun Small World had an East Immortal City.
He made up the story in great detail, especially when he talked about being persecuted. His expression was gloomy, and even his eyes were red. With a single glance, one could tell that this person must have been greatly wronged. Especially that "injury", it wouldn't lie at all.
"I've been to East Immortal City. Is your City Lord called Huang Zhiyi?"
Su Susu's uncle was very patient. He listened to the whole story and even mentioned the City Lord's name at the end. If it was an ordinary person, hearing him say the name of the city lord, they would definitely be nervous. However, Du Feng was different. He was not nervous at all.
"No, our City Lord's surname is Sun."
He didn't go along with Miss Su's Second Uncle's words. Instead, he refuted his words. Actually, East Immortal City was fabricated, and City Lord Sun was even more so. However, when it came out of Du Feng's mouth, it was as if he was very familiar with it, and there was no hesitation in his voice.
"Oh, so it's City Lord Sun. It's my mistake. It was Wong Song Lord who came here before."
Miss Su's Second Uncle was a little embarrassed that his lie was exposed. Therefore, he tried to find a way to smooth things over.
"City Lord Sun has been in East Immortal City for more than three hundred years. I don't know about the Wong Song Lord that you are talking about."
Du Feng retorted bluntly. At this moment, he could not admit defeat. If he followed the Second Uncle's words, he might fall into a trap. Since Wong Song Lord didn't exist, then the so-called former City Lord definitely didn't exist either.
"Is that so? That's my mistake."
"I see that Gongzi is fine now. Why don't we part ways here?"
This Second Uncle obviously didn't want Du Feng to follow him back to the Su Family. He even asked Du Feng to leave. Since the carriage was destroyed, it was time for Du Feng to leave. If he insisted on staying, it would seem like he didn't know how to appreciate someone's kindness.
"If that's the case, then I shall take my leave. I will repay you for saving my life in the future."
Su Susu didn't want Du Feng to leave, but she didn't dare to say anything when she saw the serious look on her Second Uncle's face. She could only watch Du Feng leave with tender feelings and could not help but sigh.
"Let's go. Your father is still waiting. Don't forget to bring that thing with you."
The Second Uncle didn't ask about that thing from the beginning. He only mentioned it before he left. He seemed to be more mature than his Third Uncle.
"Yes. That thing is with Old Zhong. I'll go get it."
Everyone thought that Su Susu would hide the thing in the carriage, but they didn't expect it to be with Old Zhong. Old Zhong was lying motionless in a sandpit far away. He was probably dead, and no one knew if the thing on him was damaged.
"You just rest. I'll go get it."
The Third Uncle was very proactive. He didn't let Su Susu do anything and walked over to search Old Zhong himself. He bent down to check Old Zhong's breathing and then patted his face. After making sure that Old Zhong was really dead, he prepared to search him.
At this moment, Old Zhong suddenly opened his eyes and stabbed forward with the dagger in his hand. He was lying on the ground with one hand pressed under his body. He had been waiting for this opportunity.
The Third Uncle's reaction was not slow. He dodged the attack and avoided the vital parts of his Dantian. Only his thigh was slightly scratched by the dagger. However, Old Zhong's dagger was already coated with poison. As soon as the wound was cut open, the blood began to turn black.
"Young Mistress, run!"
Old Zhong shouted for Su Susu to run as fast as he could after his first attack failed.
Su Susu was taken aback by what she saw. She stood rooted to the ground, unable to react in time. What was going on? Why did the Third Uncle, who loved her the most, and the Old Zhong, whom her father trusted the most, fight? What kind of grudge did they have? Who should she help?
"Old Master said that as long as he doesn't come, something bad must have happened. You must live."
Old Zhong was already fighting with his dagger. Both of them were complete Ultimate Emperor Stage Cultivation cultivators, but the Third Uncle was clearly not as strong as his opponent. If it weren't for the sneak attack at the beginning, he would have already lost.
"Don't listen to him, Susu. This guy is probably trying to steal our family's treasure. Don't let him get it."
The Second Uncle stared at the fight between the Third Uncle and Old Zhong. He was afraid that Old Zhong would fly into a rage out of humiliation and destroy the item. Otherwise, he might explode his Dantian. That would be troublesome.
"The thing is not on him. Let him go."
