The purpose of Cang Jingsong's appearance was to be everyone's backbone. As they were afraid of the Nangong Nobles' revenge, they did not dare to be the first to make a move. Now that the representative of the Seven Basaltic Mansions had appeared, things would be easier to handle. Even if the matter was blown out of proportion, they could push the blame to the Seven Basaltic Mansions. If the Nangong Nobles were capable, they could seek revenge from the Seven Basaltic Mansions.
"Kid, come out quickly."
After Cang Jingsong entered the Red Desert, he quickly rushed to the place where Du Feng had left his message.
"You're finally here. If you didn't come, the Seven Basaltic Mansions would have suffered a great loss."
When Du Feng saw Cang Jingsong, he smiled cheekily and was not nervous at all.
"Take it out. If you don't have it, I can't save you."
Cang Jingsong did not come to save Du Feng for the sake of the Seven Basaltic Mansions. Although he had completed his previous mission well, he was not that valuable. There were many students in the Seven Basaltic Mansions, and Du Feng was not one of them. What the Martial Scripture Pavilion really valued was, of course, the Fire Lingzhi. Anyone would be tempted by ten Fire Lingzhi.
"Bring me back, and I will naturally give you the item."
Du Feng was not stupid. If he handed the item over now, what if Cang Jingsong abandoned him and left? Although the group of martial artists was having a good time, once they lost their backbone, they would soon be driven away by the Nangong Nobles. Therefore, he had to go out first before he could hand over the item.
Besides, the Huangfu Family was also there. Who knew what they were up to? After all, he had tricked Huangfu Xue. If they brought him back to Huangfu City, it would be troublesome.
"Alright, come with me."
Cang Jingsong waved his sleeves and took Du Feng in. This old man was also very cunning. He did not openly take Du Feng away. It was equivalent to saying that he would not offend the Nangong Nobles for Du Feng, but at the same time, he would secretly take him out.
Once they entered the Seven Basaltic Mansions, it would no longer be Cang Jingsong's responsibility. As long as Du Feng did not go out, no one would dare to barge in and kill him. The entire Thousand Moon Country was not a place where the Nangong Nobles dared to act recklessly. As for assassination, it would depend on whether Du Feng could handle it himself.
Damn, that old thing was indeed cunning. This move of the Heaven and Earth in the Sleeve was beyond Du Feng's expectations. Initially, he wanted to use the ten Fire Lingzhi as the price to get closer to the Martial Scripture Pavilion. If Cang Jingsong brought him out today, no one in the Seven Basaltic Mansions would dare to offend him. But sneaking back was a different story. At the end of the day, the Martial Scripture Pavilion was only after the ten Fire Lingzhi.
It didn't matter, as long as he could return safely. In any case, he was only contributing ten small Fire Lingzhi. Now that he had the mother Fire Lingzhi, he could cultivate it again at any time.
"Du Feng, remember to look for me in the Huangfu City."
Cang Jingsong thought that everything was fine, but when he reached the exit, there was someone waiting there. She didn't ask where Du Feng went and spoke directly to Cang Jingsong. This was because Huangfu Xue knew that Du Feng would definitely hear her when she spoke to Cang Jingsong.
"Brat, you really know how to provoke people."
Looking at Huangfu Xue's expression, Cang Jingsong had to reevaluate Du Feng's value. That lass's eyes were filled with anticipation. Could she have taken a fancy to this brat? Could it be that the Huangfu Family didn't mobilize so many people for the Fire Lingzhi?
"Why are you jealous? Hurry up and bring me back."
Du Feng didn't give Cang Jingsong a good look and thought that this old man wasn't a good person either. If it wasn't for the ten Fire Lingzhi, he probably wouldn't be able to leave. What was interesting was that the Situ Family didn't make any movements this time. They didn't even send a single person to help.
In theory, Du Feng had only made a dozen True Essence Cannons for them. Both parties were considered to be in a cooperative relationship. Moreover, the Situ Family and the Nangong Family weren't on good terms. They should be managing this matter. Actually, Du Feng didn't know that the three Situ Sisters had been placed under house arrest because of this matter.
After all, they weren't the daughter of the Clan Head and didn't have that much authority. In order to prevent a large-scale conflict, the elders in the clan had decided to ground the three of them and would only release them after this matter was over.
"What should I do, Big Sister? This time, Du Feng will definitely hate me to death."
Situ Yaoyao shook her Big Sister Situ Lanlan's hand and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. At such a crucial moment, the Situ Family had given up on helping Du Feng. This would definitely cause the cooperative relationship to collapse.
"Do you think he doesn't hate me? I am the one who accepted the items."
Situ Lanlan was also helpless. She and her Second Sister were placed under house arrest together. Third Sister, Situ Weiwei, was placed under house arrest in the East Continent. Because Situ Weiwei's Cultivation was low, it wasn't easy for her to cause trouble.
"You're different from me. This …"
Situ Yaoyao wanted to say something but stopped. Du Feng and Big Sister Situ Lanlan were indeed only in a cooperative relationship. However, she and Du Feng had known each other for such a long time, and there was even a little ambiguity between them. Now, not only did he not help her, he even turned off the voice transmission amulet. She didn't know if Du Feng had tried to contact her. If he had tried and failed, would he think that it was intentional?
Actually, Du Feng really hadn't contacted Situ Yaoyao, nor had he contacted anyone in the Situ Family. Everyone was purely in a cooperative relationship. This was good, lest he owed a favor and couldn't repay it. He knew that the Situ Family wouldn't completely fall out with the Nangong Family for him. After all, killing the Clan Head's son wasn't a small matter. Usually, they could help with some small matters, but for such a big matter, they would only choose to give up on Du Feng.
"Alright, take it out."
Not only did Cang Jingsong bring Du Feng back to the Seven Basaltic Mansions, but he also brought him to the Martial Scripture Pavilion. After all, this was a private transaction. It wouldn't be good if other people in the Martial House found out.
"Take it. I've completed the task."
Du Feng threw out a Qiankun Bag which contained the ten stalks of Fire Lingzhi. Not a single stalk was missing.
"Is this all you have?"
Cang Jingsong looked at Du Feng from head to toe. His eyes seemed to be able to see through the human body. With the strength of his Divine Senses, he could indeed see through things at the level of the Qiankun Bag. As for things like clothes and armor, they were useless.
"Huo …"
Just when Du Feng was about to leave the Martial Scripture Pavilion, a powerful Divine Sense suddenly shrouded him, making him breathless and unable to move. Not only was his entire body seen, but even the crystals, elixirs, weapons, and armor in his storage ring were all searched.
