Preparation

"These Medicinal Pills are very helpful to me. You have a good heart. That guy, Xiao Jiu, has finally been reliable for once."

Xiao Feng could feel that Wuchi's attitude toward him had become significantly gentler and more intimate.

Xiao Feng believed that his idea might very likely be realized.

Just as Xiao Feng was thinking about how he could get Wuchi to take him to see the demon emperor's secret treasure...

Wuchi spoke first: "Since you attended the auction, you must know about the demon emperor's secret treasure. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"

Xiao Feng looked up abruptly, staring at Wuchi in disbelief, and then said: "It is, after all, of the Yao Race... wouldn't it be inappropriate for me, a member of the Human Race, to go?"

Xiao Feng wanted to go. Since it had reached the level of a demon emperor, what if there were things in the treasure that the Human Race could use?

Even taking a step back, even if there really wasn't anything, he still had contracts with so many Yao Beasts; he could search for good things to use on them.

"It doesn't matter. You only need to tell me whether you want to go or not." Wuchi waved his hand generously, telling Xiao Feng not to worry about his identity.

Xiao Feng stopped being polite and nodded frantically, his attitude toward Wuchi becoming even more respectful.

"If Senior Wuchi is willing to take this junior to see it, this junior will never forget it."

Wuchi could see the rebellious nature in Xiao Feng's personality at a glance. Seeing this little guy actually bow his head before him, Wuchi found it very interesting.

"You little guy, you really suit my taste. Then it's settled. Go back and get some good rest; I will notify you when it's time to go."

After hearing Wuchi's words, Xiao Feng didn't ask any extra questions and promptly bowed to take his leave.

The steward took Xiao Feng away from the main courtyard, and Xiao Feng returned to the courtyard where they were staying alone.

The steward looked at Xiao Feng with a gratified expression before returning to the house.

Wuchi, who had been sitting with a slouched posture just a moment ago, had now straightened his clothes and sat up straight.

Watching the steward enter, he said with some emotion: "This little guy is truly a good talent. It's just a pity he is of the Human Race. If we were on good terms, he would definitely bring me more surprises in the future."

The steward had gotten along well with Xiao Feng over the past few days and had also received quite a few good things from him, so naturally, he spoke well of Xiao Feng now.

"Whether he is of the Human Race or the Yao Race doesn't matter. As long as he can gain the appreciation of you, Old Ancestor, it is that boy's honor."

How could Wuchi not know the steward's appreciation for Xiao Feng? After raising his hand to point at the steward, he said directly: "You old fellow, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I quite like this kid. Even if I take him to that place, I will definitely protect his safety."

The steward didn't say anything more; he simply bowed with his hands down and guarded Wuchi's side respectfully.

After returning to the courtyard, Xiao Feng naturally shared this good news with Zhao Yuwei.

Zhao Yuwei was worried about Xiao Feng, but she was also happy for him.

Over the next few days, Wuchi indeed did not go into seclusion again, and there were many guests coming and going in the City Lord's Mansion.

Most of them were from the Yao Race.

To avoid any direct contact with these members of the Yao Race, Xiao Feng stayed in the small courtyard for these few days.

Xiao Feng did not know that it was precisely his politeness and sense of propriety that made Wuchi appreciate him even more, causing his favorability to soar.

Just from the bustling situation in the City Lord's Mansion over the past half-month, Xiao Feng could tell that the entire Yao Race was interested in the demon emperor's secret treasure.

Xiao Feng did not want to consider how Wuchi managed to have the key to the demon emperor's secret treasure.

After all, the key had been taken away by a mysterious member of the Yao Race that day.

Wuchi dared to invite so many members of the Yao Race so openly to discuss matters regarding the demon emperor's secret treasure; he must have had his own plans.

Xiao Feng stayed in his courtyard, quietly waiting for that day to arrive.

Half a month passed.

The gates of Mad Lion City finally opened.

The Tianyi Sect Master almost impatiently took his people into the city immediately.

That's right, he had stayed outside for half a month, and the people from the Tianyi Sect had long since found him.

Python River over there didn't make any extra moves.

But the Tianyi Sect Master knew clearly in his heart that doing this probably made Python River unhappy.

But the Tianyi Sect Master couldn't care about that much anymore.

His heart held only infinite hatred for Xiao Feng, and he even harbored some resentment toward Wuchi.

He just wanted to catch Xiao Feng as quickly as possible, humiliate him severely, and then take Xiao Feng back to the Tianyi Sect.

So much so that the moment the city gates opened, he shot into Mad Lion City like an arrow released from a bowstring.

The Demon Guards at the gate did not stop this guy again.

The Tianyi Sect Master had originally intended to find someone to get Xiao Feng out of the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered Mad Lion City, he would run head-on into the carriage Xiao Feng and the others were leaving in.

Xiao Feng was now sitting in a carriage, with the dashingly dressed Wuchi sitting beside him.

Xiao Feng had long known through the System's perception that the Tianyi Sect Master had been guarding the gate for him, and that he had rushed in the very first moment the gate opened, eager to catch him.

Therefore, the moment the Tianyi Sect Master saw Xiao Feng and they locked eyes, a wild and arrogant smile immediately appeared on Xiao Feng's face.

He was doing it on purpose.

The Tianyi Sect Master wanted to attack Xiao Feng, but the moment his gaze touched Wuchi beside him, he suddenly sobered up.

His brain, which had been controlled by anger, was suddenly slapped awake by reason.

This was the capital for Xiao Feng's arrogance.

This was the qualification for Xiao Feng to be so unscrupulous; Xiao Feng was certain that he couldn't catch him!

The Tianyi Sect Master had originally been standing in the middle of the main road, firmly blocking the carriage.

After sobering up from locking eyes with Xiao Feng, he immediately moved his position.

It would have been fine if Xiao Feng's carriage had just passed by him, but Xiao Feng deliberately stopped in front of the Tianyi Sect Master.

"Isn't this the famous Tianyi Sect Master? Why do I see you here? You wouldn't be here to hunt me down, would you! I'm so scared!"

Xiao Feng's sarcastic tone came directly from above the Tianyi Sect Master's head.

The carriage was naturally a bit higher than the Tianyi Sect Master. Xiao Feng looked down at the Tianyi Sect Master standing by the side of the road, his eyes full of disdain.

The Tianyi Sect Master was about to be angered to death by Xiao Feng. Just as he was about to retort, Xiao Feng acted as if he were frightened and introduced the Tianyi Sect Master's identity to Wuchi beside him.

"Senior Wuchi, this person is quite something. He is the Sect Master of the Tianyi Sect, one of the major Sects of our Human Race."

"A few days ago, he drove a spirit boat straight from the Human Race's territory and swaggered into the Monster Realm. He is extremely arrogant and overbearing. He even wanted to kill me; Senior must protect me."

How could Wuchi not see that Xiao Feng was deliberately using his prestige to dampen the Tianyi Sect Master's spirit?

But Wuchi was at a point where he appreciated Xiao Feng, so he naturally let Xiao Feng make a scene.

"Just him? Is he worthy?" After Xiao Feng finished speaking, Wuchi spoke up, his gaze filled with a bit of disdain as it landed on the Tianyi Sect Master.
