115: Are you sure you can die peacefully?

"Can the Huangfu Family really come to a good end after provoking someone like this?"

Hua Dieer said with a smile, "Is it your bad luck that the Huangfu Family provoked you, or is it theirs?"

Feng Ming gave a helpless smile. "I'm the unlucky one. Look, I've been forced into this by the Huangfu Family."

"Just tell me what you think of this cooperation method. Do you agree or not?"

Hua Dieer nodded. "I'm a merchant. If no one buys it, I can naturally cooperate with you. After all, leaving it sitting there doesn't make any money."

With those words from Hua Dieer, Feng Ming felt relieved.

In truth, if he really had to buy it, he could, but using it would be very difficult.

The Feng Family currently only had a little over ten million on their accounts; he could buy it but wouldn't be able to use it. Therefore, he chose a compromise.

As for the two million Spirit Stones lost, he considered it a protection fee.

He believed that with his abilities, it wouldn't even take a year to resolve the trouble with the Huangfu Family.

So in reality, he wouldn't have to pay much in rent.

However, the most important thing now was to see if anyone would buy the Formation.

While they were talking, there was a knock on the private room's door, and the voice of the maid who had led Feng Ming up earlier rang out.

"Young Miss, the guest has arrived!"

Hua Dieer responded.

"Please show the guest in!"

"Yes!"

The maid acknowledged, and then the door to the private room opened.

A middle-aged man, his entire body shrouded in a black robe, walked in from outside.

Hua Dieer stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man, just about to introduce him.

Feng Ming hurriedly followed suit with a bow and then said:

"I am Feng Ming. Greetings, Father-in-law... Lord City Lord."

Good heavens, after Feng Ming finished speaking, he broke into a cold sweat.

He was so used to joking around with Lu An'an that he had almost blurted out the title of 'Father-in-law' just now.

The Black-Robed Person had actually heard the two words Feng Ming blurted out and was clearly stunned.

He hadn't expected Feng Ming to address him like that.

After a moment, he regained his composure and asked, "How did you know my identity?"

Feng Ming said awkwardly.

"Besides the City Lord, only the head of the Huangfu Family would come to Miss Dieer's place. Today, the head of the Huangfu Family shouldn't be in the mood to visit, so the only person who could be here is you."

Hua Dieer quickly spoke up, "Dieer did not reveal anything in advance."

The black-robed man waved his hand.

"I don't blame you for this. I've already experienced this kid's cleverness!"

As he spoke, the black-robed man sat down in a nearby chair and removed his hood.

The face revealed was none other than Lu Zhenfeng's.

Lu Zhenfeng glanced at Feng Ming and said indifferently.

"You brat, if it weren't for the fact that you helped me once before and nearly allowed me to wipe out the Huangfu Family, that form of address just now would have been enough for me to kill you."

Hearing this, Feng Ming laughed instead.

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh? You know that too?"

Lu Zhenfeng raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.

Feng Ming said with a smile, "If you were to kill me just because I called you 'Father-in-law,' wouldn't Anan be unable to get married for the rest of her life?"

"The reason you're like this is simply because you can't bear to let Anan go. But when a boy grows up he should marry, and when a girl grows up she should wed; it's an inevitability that must be accepted eventually."

Lu Zhenfeng looked at Feng Ming, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said calmly.

"I can imagine that if it weren't for that mouth of yours, you probably wouldn't have been able to coax my daughter into your hands!"

Feng Ming shook his head with a smile. "I don't quite agree with that. Having a silver tongue can only leave a good impression; sincerity is the ultimate weapon."

"In the end, it comes down to character and values."

Lu Zhenfeng waved his hand.

"Enough, don't give me those empty words. I know my daughter's temperament best. If you could make her see you in a different light, you naturally have your own extraordinary qualities. I didn't come here today to chat about this."

Hearing this, Hua Dieer tactfully stood up. "You two chat slowly; I still have some matters to attend to."

With that, Hua Dieer left. It had to be said that the people of the Hua Family were very observant.

They were also very cautious.

Whether it was from the fact that they never touched the Medicinal Pill business, or now, where she wouldn't participate in even a single meeting between him and the City Lord.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the Hua Clan Merchant House could open in every corner of the Bright Moon Dynasty.

After Hua Dieer left.

Lu Zhenfeng spoke up, "You don't really expect a Nascent Soul Destruction Formation to protect the Feng Family, do you?"

Feng Ming cupped his hands. "I would appreciate your guidance, Lord City Lord."

Lu Zhenfeng didn't waste words and said directly, "Huangfu He indeed only has the strength of the Nascent Soul Peak. If you could obtain the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation, it could indeed protect the Feng Family. However, a Formation is static and has range limitations. The people of the Feng Family cannot stay indoors forever."

"And you can't stay inside forever either. If you take it with you, the Feng Family will be in danger; if you don't take it, you will be in danger."

"From that perspective, this Formation doesn't actually have much use."

Feng Ming smiled upon hearing this. "You must be joking, Lord City Lord!"

"The Hua Clan Merchant House is guarded by Mahayana Realm experts, and the Lingxiao Sect has no shortage of experts either!"

"Once this Nascent Soul Destruction Formation is brought home, my Feng Family will be safe. As for the shop, Anan is managing it; surely no one would be so foolish as to provoke her?"

"I usually just go between my home, the Sect, and the Pill Workshop. Aren't these places very safe?"

Lu Zhenfeng watched Feng Ming quietly and asked, "What about on the road? Aren't you afraid they'll make a move while you're traveling?"

Feng Ming spoke with a look of certainty, "On the road, they won't. Even if they do, nothing will happen."

Lu Zhenfeng was intrigued.

"What makes you think that?"

Feng Ming laughed, "Naturally, it's because you, Lord City Lord, won't let them kill me. As long as I'm alive, you can find an opportunity to lure the Huangfu Family into acting, thereby confirming their crimes."

"If I were to die, the Huangfu Family could truly rest easy in Qingyang City, and it would be difficult for the City Lord to move against them in the future."

Lu Zhenfeng laughed at those words.

"I thought you were different from others, but I didn't expect that your confidence in coming to Qingyang City was actually because of me. In that case, did you approach Anan with this intention from the very beginning?"

Feng Ming quickly waved his hands. "Let's stick to the facts; don't try to pin that on me."

"In the beginning, it was Anan who sought me out. At that time, I didn't know her identity; I only found out after Qianqian arrived."

"Furthermore, when I said the Huangfu Family wouldn't dare kill me on the road, it wasn't because I was scheming against you, but because it's what you should be doing anyway!"

"Even if I didn't know Anan, this would still be your duty!"

Lu Zhenfeng frowned. "Hmm? What do you mean by that?"
