"I can't hide out. That would be equivalent to admitting my mistake."
Du Feng wasn't stupid. If he hid out now, he could temporarily avoid trouble. But if he did that, he would be even more suspicious. What he needed to do now was to quickly make a statement with Shangguan Yun. Because Shangguan Yun had also come back alive, and she would definitely be questioned.
While Shanghai Erjun was in a daze, Du Feng hurriedly sent a message to Shangguan Yun and explained the situation.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Just as he finished explaining, someone knocked on the door. It can't be, they came to find me so quickly. Hearing the noise, Shangguan Erchun furrowed his brows. Because he wasn't good at dealing with such matters, he was usually bullied by the disciples of other clans.
Now that everyone else was dead and he came back alive, it would definitely be hard to explain.
"Mother, why are you here?"
When he opened the door, he found that it was his own mother. This was the first time Du Feng saw Shanghai Erjun's mother. She was a kind looking woman. She was definitely not young, but she looked to be less than 40 years old. She had maintained her appearance well.
"If I didn't come, you would have been torn apart by those people."
As a God Emperor, especially a Goddess Emperor, Shangguan Qingming was very clear about the primordial Gods of Gold City. Although those who died weren't the most outstanding disciples of their clans, they definitely wouldn't let it go. If they went out to carry out a mission, they would have died in vain. They could only blame their lack of strength.
Now that the number one trash of Gold City, Shanghai Erjun, might have returned, but their child died, this matter wouldn't be over.
Since Shanghai Erjun had a Substitute Doll, it should be normal for him to come back alive. Why did he have to face so many doubts? The reason was simple. That Substitute Doll wasn't omnipotent. The doll could save Erjun once, but it couldn't save him a second time, let alone a hundred times.
If he really met someone so strong that he wanted to kill everyone, why didn't he kill Shangguan Erjun a second time, a third time, or even a hundred times? Therefore, the substitute doll was only a chance to survive, but there was no guarantee that it would succeed. What was even more strange was that Shangguan Erjun's Foreign Minister might have also returned alive.
The other members of the Protoss and their guests were all dead. Only Shangguan Erjun and his guests came back alive. How was he going to explain this matter?
"Senior, it's like this."
Without waiting for Shangguan Qingming to open her mouth to ask, Du Feng first gave a rough account of the matter. It was also good for Shangguan Qingming to listen and see if there were any flaws in it. If she could point out the flaws, then the group of people who came would definitely be able to as well.
Du Feng couldn't hide everything from Shangguan Qingming, so he told her about Xiao Hei first.
"Oh, you even brought along a helper?"
Shangguan Qingming immediately became interested. Because logically speaking, they definitely wouldn't be able to escape. Including Shangguan Erjun who had the doll, he would definitely be killed a second time. But since he came back alive, then there had to be a reasonable explanation. It wasn't her who needed this explanation, but the families of the other deceased needed it.
"Senior, please promise me that you must protect my brother. Only then will you let him come out to see you."
Du Feng also wouldn't easily expose Xiao Hei. Furthermore, he currently didn't have the legal identity to enter Jincheng.
"Don't worry. Let him come out and immediately put him under my name. I guarantee there won't be a problem."
Shangguan Qingming agreed very quickly. After all, Du Feng and Xiao Hei saved her son.
"Xiao Hei, come out and meet senior."
Since he got Shangguan Qingming's consent, Du Feng summoned Xiao Hei. The moment Xiao Hei appeared, he immediately attracted Shangguan Qingming's gaze. At that time, Shangguan Erjun didn't understand. He just felt that Xiao Hei was so amazing and so cool. But who was Shangguan Qingming? She was the goddess emperor. She could tell with one look that Xiao Hei's constitution wasn't ordinary.
"Black Gold Qilin, it's actually a Black Gold Qilin. Were you a Black Qilin or a Gold Qilin before? "
She could tell that Xiao Hei was a Black Gold Qilin now, but she couldn't tell if he was a Black Gold Qilin or a Gold Qilin before. That was because both could mutate into a Black Gold Qilin.
"I understand, you were a Black Qilin before."
As expected from the goddess emperor, she was indeed smart. Because she heard Du Feng call out Xiao Hei's name, she guessed that he must have been black in the past, so he was a Black Qilin.
"Senior is wise. Xiao Hei was indeed a Black Qilin before."
Du Feng hurriedly flattered her, coaxing the old lady to be happy first before talking. Actually, in terms of seniority from Linghu Yunce's side, Du Feng should have to call her grandma. But in terms of seniority from Shangguan Erjun's side, the two were only one generation apart.
"This friend of yours isn't just like this, right?"
Shangguan Qingming carefully observed Xiao Hei again and discovered that his pupils still carried a hint of purple. If she guessed correctly, he should have devoured a Purple Qilin. The chances of Qilins meeting with Qilins were actually very rare. Mutually devouring was even rarer.
That also meant that not only did Xiao Hei experience a mutation, but he also experienced devouring once. Such a probability was simply too small, and he actually encountered it.
"Senior is right. Previously in Silver City, Xiao Hei encountered some things. I thought that the Linghu Family's people told you."
Du Feng understood. Shangguan Qingming didn't know what happened to the Linghu Family. Because those were shameful things that some people in the Linghu Family did sneakily. They found a Purple Qilin woman to seduce Xiao Hei and even had that kind of relationship. For the sake of devouring ability, they could be said to have stopped at nothing.
Since she asked until here today, Du Feng might as well spill out all the scandals that the Linghu Family did. It just so happened that he could also explain why Xiao Hei had the ability to bring them and escape.
Because the answer that Du Feng gave was not that they defeated Star Emperor, but that Xiao Hei saved their lives by bringing them and escaping. As for why Shangguan Erjun was able to survive, it was because that Star Emperor went to chase him and Xiao Hei in the beginning and ran very far away, ignoring the traces that Shanghai Erjun left behind.
Hence, that Star Emperor didn't discover the second resurrection of Shangguan Erjun. That was how he escaped calamity. Explaining it this way seemed to make sense.
The mutated Black Gold Qilin then absorbed the Purple Qilin. His speed was indeed very fast. If the other Star Emperor wasn't the kind that excelled in speed, he indeed wouldn't be able to catch up to him. Especially in beast form, even Shangguan Qingming wasn't certain that she could definitely catch up to Xiao Hei.
