Hearing this, Du Feng frowned because this was indeed a difficult situation. Anything that involved the Demonic Beasts would involve the Devil Realm. As long as it involved the Devil Realm, it would involve all the martial artists in the city. No one would help Su Susu. At least in terms of public opinion, he had already lost.
What kind of reason should he think of to get Su Susu out of Hearthstone City? Du Feng fell into deep thought.
"What's there to think about? Just go in and take her away."
Ever since Jian Huang broke through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm, he had become even wilder. His suggestion was to just go in and not waste time with the Fu Family. But it would be great if things were that simple. Hearthstone City was under the control of the Fu Family.
Putting aside the fact that there was a Celestial Master guarding the place, there were a lot of Ninth Stage Perfected Golden Celestial Stage martial artists and a shocking number of city guards. Du Feng and Jian Huang alone would not be able to kill their way in and out. What's more, Fuxi was still a member of the Fu Clan. For the sake of his friend, he couldn't be too ruthless. If they killed too many members of the Fu Family, Fu Xi would not be able to stay in Hearthstone City anymore.
"Gentlemen, I have a suggestion."
Since Old Mister Linghu came to see Du Feng, he must have a plan. After all, Su Susu was confined to Hearthstone City because of Fu Xi. Now that Fu Xi had completed his family's mission, he had some status in the Fu Family.
The plan now was to let Su Susu pretend to be Fu Xi's cultivation partner. Even if it was about raising the Demonic Beasts, she would let Fu Xi bear the responsibility with her. Considering Fu Xi's forging talent and future prospects, he would not be so stubborn about this matter.
Even if Fu Hong's grandfather and the rest did not let it go, there would still be people from the Fu Family who would stand up for Fu Xi. After all, Fu Hong was dead, and Fu Xi still had a bright future. Perhaps Fu Xi would inherit the position of the Fu Clan's Clan Master in the future.
"This method is feasible, but Miss Su must agree to it first."
Du Feng agreed that it was a good idea to solve Su Susu's crisis without any bloodshed. However, the problem was that he had to obtain the consent of the woman to lie about being his Dao companion. He knew that Fu Xi liked Su Susu a little. It would not be a big deal if they could get together. However, Su Susu might not like Fu Xi.
"I need you to persuade Miss Su on this matter."
Well, Du Feng finally understood. In the end, they were looking for him to be a matchmaker. Actually, persuasion was useless when it came to matters of the heart. It still depended on whether one really liked the other party. However, in order to see Su Susu first, Du Feng agreed.
With Elder Linghu's help, Du Feng managed to sneak into Hearthstone City. Truth be told, Du Feng knew that Elder Linghu was not the only one who was willing to cooperate. There were also a few elders from the Fu Clan acting as spies.
The relationship between the Fu Clan and the Fu Clan was very complicated. There were already people secretly supporting Fu Xi. At the same time, they wanted to make Fu Xi listen to them. Or rather, they wanted Fu Xi to owe them a favor. That was why they came up with this stupid idea. They wanted to control Fu Xi through Su Susu.
It was true that Su Susu was captured by Fu Hong's grandfather, but at the same time, there were others who supported and encouraged them to do so. As long as Fu Xi was willing to cooperate, they would be able to mediate and release Su Susu. If Fu Xi did not listen to them, they would add fuel to the fire and harm Su Susu.
Du Feng followed Old Mister Linghu to meet a guard of the Fu Clan. The guard then brought Du Feng to the entrance of a small sealed room. After he walked in, the door was closed.
Although there was nothing around, Du Feng knew that there were people watching him. They wanted to see how Du Feng was going to persuade Su Susu to follow the Fuxi, or rather, persuade Su Susu to marry into the Fu Clan and become one of them.
"You're here."
"Yes, I'm here."
"The Spirit Pet has been taken away by them."
"Yes, I know."
The conversation between the two of them was very simple, and they talked about some insignificant things. But in private, Du Feng was using a special method to communicate with Su Susu. This was not a secret method. Even if it was, it would not be able to fool the Fu Clan.
His method was very unique. It was to let the beasts lying on the lawn, unable to move, roar to pass on his words.
Du Feng first conveyed his message to the Beast Roar, and the Beast Roar was transmitted to Su Susu's ears through a special kind of sound wave. This kind of sound wave could not be heard by anyone other than the person who set the target. Even if they could hear it, they would think that it was just a random roar and would not understand what it meant.
Although the Beast Roar was often used to rebel, it was still useful. On the surface, Du Feng asked about Su Susu's well-being and told her that Fu Xi was not a man who would follow orders. But in reality, the Beast Roar was trying to convey a plan to escape.
When Su Susu looked down, it meant that she did not want to be Fu Xi's cultivation partner. And when she tapped the ground twice, it meant that she wanted to leave Hearthstone City. Therefore, what Du Feng needed to do now was to get Su Susu out of the city. But the two of them were locked in Xiao Hei's house. They had to get out of here first, then think about leaving Hearthstone City.
"Think about it, I'll come back in a few days."
After discussing with Su Susu, Du Feng got up and left. He pretended that he would come back in a few days to persuade Su Susu, but in fact, he was already making arrangements.
Originally, Du Feng wanted to ask for Fu Xi's opinion, but he was also under house arrest. Fu Xi was in an awkward position where he could not be killed, but he also had no power. If he wanted to rise up in Hearthstone City, he would need the support of those old men. If he wanted to gain their support, he would have to listen to them.
This was the process of both sides testing each other. If Fu Xi lost, he would be under their control for a long time. However, if Fuxi were to win, there was a possibility that they would fall out with each other.
Not long after Du Feng left, Su Susu asked to talk to Fu Xi face to face. The old men from the Fu family were overjoyed and agreed on the spot. When they met, their conversation was very simple. It felt like they were just exchanging pleasantries, and they seemed a little embarrassed.
Actually, Su Susu had already used the method that Du Feng taught her to understand Fu Xi's intentions through eye contact and sign language. He did not want to be controlled by the old men of the Fu family, nor did he want to be forced into a marriage. If possible, he also wanted to leave Hearthstone City.
