"Don't worry, I will be responsible to the end."
Although Du Feng was a little embarrassed, he couldn't be a coward at this time. There were so many people watching. So he smiled and waved at the female shopkeeper, then left with his brothers.
"Brother Du, you are really awesome. This woman has been conquered by you."
Xiao Hei didn't understand what was going on at all. He thought that the female shopkeeper was really thinking about Du Feng.
"Brother Du, you are indeed a hero among men. I really admire you!"
Captain Eight also cupped his hands and expressed his admiration for Du Feng.
"Brother Du, what should we do next?"
Only Yuchi Jinhai didn't cause trouble because he was still a little uncertain in his heart. He didn't know if he could destroy the Helian family like this. At least he could destroy Helian Qiming first.
"Don't worry, accompany Captain Eight to send the evidence back first."
Du Feng was right. The evidence that Captain Eight specially collected needed to be sent to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord wouldn't personally ask about this matter, but the Deputy City Lord would. There were two Deputy City Lords in Sea City. Of course, he had to give it to the one he had a good relationship with. If it was given to the other, the evidence would probably be destroyed.
As for Hidden Fragrance Pavilion, the female shopkeeper must have contacted her boss immediately. However, even if the boss came, this matter couldn't be stopped.
"You mean this matter is led by that person named Du Feng?"
Unexpectedly, the boss behind the scenes of Hidden Fragrance Pavilion was also a woman. At this time, she and the shopkeeper were in the room, and there were several sisters lying in the room. At this time, they didn't make it public and didn't let the people in the store know. Since it had already happened, it was wisest to deal with it rationally. If they made a fuss, they would offend both families in the end.
"En, I haven't seen this person before. He should have just arrived and is a friend of Young Master Yuchi."
"I don't know his identity, but Captain Eight is very polite to him."
The female shopkeeper still didn't understand Du Feng's identity. Why did they listen to him and even Captain Eight was so polite to him?
"Captain Eight is polite to money. I guess he doesn't have much identity. Otherwise, Helian Qiming wouldn't dare to make a move on him."
The boss was indeed the boss. To be able to open such a big shop in a place like Sea City where all sorts of people were mixed up, there were at least a few tricks up his sleeve. With a single analysis, he understood that Du Feng was definitely not some big shot from outside the city. If that was the case, the Helian Family would have already investigated him thoroughly and wouldn't have dared to make a move against him.
The reason why Captain Eight was so polite to him was because he was giving face to Yuchi Jinhai, as well as money. The female owner had actually heard that a while ago, an outsider had gotten into a conflict with Helian Qiming in the restaurant, and it seemed that he had even cheated that Young Master from the Sacred City of more than a million Divine Stones.
Of course, the Helian Clan couldn't let that Young Master from the Sacred City pay for nothing. That outsider was probably the current Mr. Du Du Feng.
"He's that arrogant outsider. If I had known, I wouldn't have provoked him."
Only then did the female shopkeeper come to her senses. No wonder she had been tricked. Thinking about it, he even dared to scam the young masters and young mistresses from the Holy City. She, a mere shopkeeper of the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion, was nothing.
"Don't provoke him. I think you're just lustful."
Others might not understand the female shopkeeper, but how could the boss not? The two of them had been sisters for many years. Both of them were human cultivators, and it wasn't easy for them to survive in Sea City. Moreover, the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion had taken in so many female demon cultivators. If they didn't manage the business, their sisters wouldn't be able to buy weapons and elixirs to cultivate.
"Sister, I won't dare to do it again."
The female shopkeeper was embarrassed and could only lower her head to admit her mistake.
"Forget it, it's not your fault. We can only stand on one side. We mustn't stand on both sides."
The female shopkeeper was right. They had to stand firm. They had to stand on whichever side they were on. Once they stood firm, they couldn't move easily. Because if they stood on both sides, it was best to offend both sides.
"Then which side should we stand on now? Should we report the case?"
The female shopkeeper also felt that they should stand firm, but which side was firm? At the moment, it was still unknown who would win and who would lose. One had to know that the Helian Family was quite powerful.
"Report what case? Let's wait and see first. Let's pretend that nothing happened. They will definitely make their next move."
The female shopkeeper was very smart. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If Du Feng really wanted to help the Yuchi Family to destroy the Helian Family, he would definitely make his next move. It wouldn't be too late for the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion to take a side when they made the matter bigger and the City Lord's Mansion intervened.
There was no result yet. If Du Feng was killed halfway, then this matter would be even more dangerous.
"Sister is wise. I know what to do."
The female shopkeeper glanced at the girls who had fainted and secretly removed a part of their memories. After the boss left, she woke them up and told them that they were drunk just now and that the guests had left. From beginning to end, only the shopkeeper and the boss knew about this matter.
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of a wolf-like opponent, but be afraid of a pig-like teammate. It wouldn't be good if these girls knew about it. If they were to speak carelessly, it would ruin the big matter.
"Okay, I will go back to the inn first."
After accompanying Captain Eight to deliver the evidence, Du Feng actually took the initiative to go to the Xianhui Inn, which scared Yuchi Jinhai quite a bit.
"If you go back now, they won't peel your skin."
He was right. The inn hated Du Feng to death. If he went back now, people would definitely target him.
"Don't worry. They won't dare in broad daylight. Besides, they don't have that ability."
"Brother Xiao Hei will accompany me. Young Master Yuchi doesn't have to worry."
Du Feng confidently patted Xiao Hei's shoulder, meaning to say that this brother of his is very good at fighting. You can rest assured.
"Okay, then I wish Brother Du a victory."
Captain Eight was very relieved. He just watched Du Feng leave and didn't stop him. Yuchi Jinhai looked at it in a daze. He wondered what was going on and why he didn't understand. But since Du Feng insisted on leaving, he couldn't forcibly stop him.
In this way, Du Feng swaggered straight to the inn with Xiao Hei. Because he stayed in the blacksmith shop for two days, his room at the inn had expired. But it didn't matter. He could still pay again.
"It's you … Why are you here?"
The inn staff was shocked to see Du Feng standing at the door, thinking that this person didn't want to live or was stupid. Although the inn didn't deal with him openly, people with discerning eyes could see. The death of the girl and the framing of him had something to do with the inn. Unless he was crazy, he wouldn't come to the inn.
"Why, you don't welcome accommodation here?"
