"Stop looking. Let's eat the lamb."
The man in the felt hat was not polite at all. He urged Du Feng to make the mutton hotpot quickly. Otherwise, he would be craving for seafood if he kept watching others eat.
"Alright. Watch carefully."
Du Feng was quick to react. He grabbed a Jasper Sheep and sliced it into thin slices. He followed the rules and boiled some water in a big iron pot, adding rock salt. Then, he used a pair of chopsticks made of goat's horn to pick up the lamb.
"Mm, it tastes good. What's your relationship with the Nangong family?"
The man in the felt hat was an experienced man. Seeing how Du Feng was willing to eat the Jasper Sheep, he knew that Du Feng had a special relationship with the Nangong family. This kind of sheep was only used to entertain VIPs and not for takeaway. Even if someone bought it, it would not be easy to feed it.
"What's your relationship with the Nangong family?"
Du Feng did not continue the conversation but asked a question instead. He had to figure out the man's identity first. If he was a close friend of the Nangong family, it would be troublesome.
"Would you believe me if I said I slept with Nangong Linshan's wife?"
Nangong Linshan was Nangong Yan's father, the current leader of the Nangong family. He was a Level 9 Powang Cultivation Master.
"You're quite bold. Wouldn't you be hunted down by the Nangong family?"
Du Feng smacked his lips. He was starting to believe what the man in the felt hat said. Just the blanket that could block the cold wind was enough to prove that this man was not simple. He should be around the same age as Nangong Linshan.
"Sigh. That's all in the past. Plus, they are afraid of embarrassing themselves, so they won't mention it to the outside world."
The man in the felt hat was right. The Nangong family, especially Nangong Linshan, were not willing to mention such a scandal to outsiders because they were afraid of embarrassing themselves.
"That Nangong Yan, could he be your son?"
Du Feng was very curious about this. Because he killed Nangong Yan with his own hands, and Nangong Yan was one of Nangong Linshan's sons.
"Pfft. I don't have such a bastard."
"I say, kid, are you Du Feng from the Seven Basaltic Mansions?"
The middle-aged man in the felt hat was a cunning man who had been in Jianghu for a long time. Hearing Du Feng's tone, looking at his expression and age, he was probably Du Feng, who had killed Nangong Yan in the Meteorite Forest in the Southernmost Region. This matter caused a huge commotion, causing the Nangong Family to seal off the entire Red Barren Desert and fight against the HuangFu Family for a long time.
"What's wrong? You can't be thinking of avenging your old lover, right?"
The so-called old lover was naturally Nangong Linshan's wife, who was also his legal wife.
"Tsk, I won't avenge Third Concubine's son. They deserve to die. It's best if they all die."
The man in the felt hat was not young and was quite jealous. Du Feng could tell. His own son was also being raised in the Nangong family. In order to not let others know about this scandal, the Nangong family had forcibly raised someone else's son. The man in the felt hat's son was called Nangong Miao. Nangong Yan and Nangong Yan were like water and fire.
However, this Nangong Miao was not very well received in the Nangong Family. The nurturing he received was far inferior to Nangong Yan. In other words, it was to keep him alive and not be laughed at by others. Nangong Linshan treated his other sons very well, but he didn't treat Nangong Miao well. The man in the felt hat was already furious. Unfortunately, he was weak and couldn't contend against the entire Nangong Family. When he heard that someone called Du Feng killed Nangong Linshan and Nangong Yan, he was secretly happy for a few days.
He thought that this young man called Du Feng was really daring. A young man dared to go against the entire Nangong Family. However, he thought that Nangong Yan was still young and was a student of the Seven Basaltic Mansions. His potential was limitless, so he dared to do anything.
He never expected to meet Du Feng himself on the beast-catching ship. Furthermore, the two of them had a good chat.
"Brat, quickly tell me, how did you kill Nangong Yan?"
The man in the felt hat cooked a piece of lamb and stuffed it into his mouth while chatting with Du Feng. The sun had just risen in the morning, and the sea was still a little cold. After a piece of jasper lamb entered his stomach, he immediately felt very comfortable. Tsk tsk tsk, this brat's cooking skills were not bad. He made simple lamb so delicious. Why didn't he realize it in the past?
This man in the felt hat had stolen the jasper lamb from the Nangong Family in the past. However, when he roasted it, it became like cotton wool and tasted terrible. Even if it was stewed, it wouldn't be so delicious. How would he know that to eat jasper lamb, one had to slice it evenly and not use any spiritual energy? Not even ordinary chopsticks could be used.
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's all Nangong Yan's fault for being too greedy. I discovered the Fire Lingzhi in the Meteorite Forest first, but they insisted on snatching it. "
Du Feng spoke with fervor and assurance. He told the story of what happened in the Meteorite Forest that day with some embellishments. Of course, he wouldn't mention that he took away the mother stalk of the Fire Lingzhi. Instead, he framed the Nangong Family. There were so many experts that day. No matter how one looked at it, it didn't seem like a young man like him took away the good stuff. There was a rumor that the Nangong Family monopolized the Red Desert and forbade outsiders from entering. They even monopolized all the Fire Lingzhi in the Meteorite Forest. The reason why they arrested Du Feng was because they were afraid that he would divulge the secret.
As for the matter of Nangong Yan being killed, the impact wasn't as big as the Fire Lingzhi. After the man in the felt hat finished listening, he nodded slightly and then shook his head. He only believed a part of these words. He didn't believe the other part.
"Brat, hide it well. Don't reveal it. Otherwise, you will be in trouble."
"What do you mean hide it well? Uncle, hurry up and eat it."
The man in the felt hat was a sly old fox. He had already heard the clues. There was an 80% chance that the mother stalk of the Fire Lingzhi was obtained by this brat, Du Feng. With his understanding of Nangong Linshan, even if his biological son died, he wouldn't go to such a big extent. Even if the Huangfu Family went, they wouldn't back down. It would definitely involve a lot of benefits.
However, Du Feng was even more sly than the man in the felt hat. He pretended that he didn't understand and advised the other party to hurry up and eat the lamb. The two of them chatted casually as they ate the lamb hotpot. When they looked at those people who were eating seafood, they didn't feel that they were that hungry anymore. The taste of the jasper lamb was much better than the baotou fish. That thing wasn't some precious seafood and wasn't worth craving for.
