Even though Zheng Yang did not want to make a move, he knew his junior sister's temper very well. It was very likely that she would allow Big Brother Xiang to do as he pleased, resulting in Su Feifei's death.
Even though his heart was no longer throbbing like before, he couldn't bear to see the girl he once liked get killed just like that.
"Zheng Yang, save me …"
Seeing him walking over, the girl gritted her teeth as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.
"Rest assured!"
Zheng Yang lightly waved his hand, and the power that Brother Xiang had enveloped the girl was immediately broken.
"Who are you?"
Brother Xiang narrowed his eyes again.
He only had an incense stick's time. If he didn't hurry, he would die.
Where did this fellow come from? Furthermore, from the looks of it, he seemed to have some sort of relationship with Su Feifei. This greatly increased the wariness in his heart.
"You don't need to know who I am. All I want to know is, if you don't like her, why did you choose to be with her and build such a huge mansion?"
Zheng Yang looked at Zhang Xuan calmly, as if he was the judge of life and death.
Having reached the Ancient Sage realm, and having gone through countless battles, Zhang Xuan's mind had already been tempered to the point that it was as tough as steel.
If it weren't for the fact that Su Feifei was the softest part of his heart and the purest dream of a youth, he wouldn't have come here.
After a moment of hesitation, Xiang-ge said, "It's because I really like her that I chose to stay here. Otherwise, given my identity, how could I possibly stay in a small kingdom?"
Considering how the other party was sitting together with the person who had poisoned Su Feifei, and how he was able to sever the zhenqi controlling Su Feifei so easily, no matter how foolish he was, it was clear that the other party was no pushover.
With his strength, he definitely did not dare to offend such a person.
"You like her?"
Zheng Yang sneered. "If you like her, you would disregard her life and death for the sake of your own life …"
Previously, he had thought that the two of them were truly in love. If that was the case, it didn't matter anymore. After all, he had already let go.
But … in order to save his own life, the other party had actually disregarded Su Feifei's life. In fact, there was not the slightest bit of pity or comradeship in his eyes. This had truly infuriated him.
This was definitely not love, but exploitation!
For an expert of an empire to come to a kingdom and build such a large mansion, if it wasn't for friendship, then there must be some ulterior motive.
"I really like it …" Brother Xiang hurriedly said.
"Don't try to deceive me. Your strength is still lacking …"
Not bothering to waste his breath on the other party, Zheng Yang flicked his finger.
"Ah …"
With a miserable cry, Xiang-ge fell to the ground. Intense pain wracked his body, and his forehead was drenched in sweat.
In just an instant, he realized that the gap between him and the other party was simply too great. If the other party wanted to kill him, it would only take a single thought.
"Who are you? What hatred do we have against each other? If it's just because of her, I can give it to you directly … "
Gritting his teeth, he pointed a finger at Su Feifei.
With his life at stake, he could even give away his beloved woman, not to mention that he had no feelings for her.
"For me?" Zheng Yang's face was as cold as snow. "Could it be that in your eyes, she is just an item that can be traded? Just something that could save his life? You can give it away so casually? "
"I …"
Brother Xiang's teeth were chattering.
In his rage, the other party lost control of his aura, and he immediately felt as if he was facing a massive ferocious beast. With a single thought, he would be crushed into dust, leaving nothing behind.
He had investigated Su Feifei before, and the latter was an insignificant figure who had grown up in Tianxuan Royal City. When did he have such a powerful friend?
"He …"
While Brother Xiang was trembling in fear, Su Feifei's eyes were also filled with confusion.
Just a year ago, Zheng Yang was still a bootlicker whom she looked down on. She wouldn't have paid any heed to him at all. Who could have thought that he would reach such heights in just a year's time?
The person whom even the emperor dared not offend, Xiang-ge, nearly scared him to death with a single bellow …
What kind of strength did he possess?
"Don't blame me for not warning you. If someone dies, teacher will get angry!"
Seeing that Xiang-ge was on the verge of dying under the pressure, Wei Ruyan stretched her back lazily and said with a smile.
"Un!"
Upon hearing the words' teacher ', Zheng Yang retracted his psyche energy. Turning to Xiang-ge, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I only want you to speak the truth. The one who poisoned you is my junior. If you wish to deceive me, I can look for my junior to search your Soul Records!"
"Search my Soul Records?"
Xiang-ge's body trembled as he hurriedly turned to look at Wei Ruyan. Seeing the latter looking at him with a smile, his body stiffened once more.
If his junior was already so formidable, wouldn't his senior be even more formidable?
"Speak!"
Zheng Yang glared at Xiang-ge coldly as a faint blue glow flickered on the tip of his finger.
In truth, even without a Soul Record, he had several hundred ways to force the other party to speak the truth.
If the head of the Combat Master Hall didn't even possess the ability to interrogate others, how could he have stood against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe for tens of thousands of years?
Upon seeing the blue glow, Xiang-ge felt as if the zhenqi in his body had been scattered, and an excruciating pain assaulted him.
If he were to feel such pain with just a single glance, he would surely suffer a fate worse than death once it entered his body.
Knowing that it was impossible for him to escape, Xiang-ge gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Yun Xiang, and I am a treasure hunter. I am extremely sensitive to treasures, and over the years, I have been exploring the surrounding empires in search of all kinds of treasures … until I came here! "
"Treasure hunter?"
Zheng Yang and Wei Ruyan glanced at one another before nodding their heads.
They had heard of treasure hunters before, and the most famous clan on the Master Teacher Continent was the Yun Clan.
Indeed, they possessed means that ordinary cultivators possessed that allowed them to locate treasures.
"Through my investigation, I discovered that there's a powerful energy fluctuation beneath Su Feifei's residence. There's likely to be an extremely powerful artifact there, so I decided to purchase her residence. However, as an outsider, I came here to purchase the residence. Furthermore, searching for a treasure is a long-term process, and it's very easy for others to notice my presence. Thus, I decided to lie to Su Feifei and tell her that I'm interested in her …"
Yun Xiang said. "With her as a cover, it became much easier for me to purchase the surrounding houses. In order to conceal my identity, I decided to build a massive residence …"
It was true that there was no one in Tianxuan Kingdom who could match up to him in terms of strength, but through his investigation, he realized that the treasure beneath was simply too frightening. If it were to be revealed, putting aside him, even his clan might not be able to claim it for themselves.
Thus, using marriage as an excuse, he purchased houses from all over the Tianxuan Kingdom and built a residence before setting up all kinds of formations …
In this way, everyone thought that it was someone's residence, and no one suspected anything.
"You said that you like me just for the sake of the treasure?"
Hearing those words, Su Feifei's face paled, and she slumped weakly to the ground.
Back then, the other party's flowery words and treasures had bewitched her, and she had thought that she was truly charming. However, at this moment, she realized that what the other party was after wasn't her but the treasure beneath the residence.
