Chapter 274.1
As soon as Wu Feng saw Tang Fei, his heart skipped a beat.
How is this former holy son who will be reinstated in death still alive?
At that moment, a trace of panic flashed across Wu Feng’s expression, but it disappeared immediately. He smiled and said to Tang Fei, “I don’t know who it is, but it turns out to be young master Tang! Oh, what a disrespect!”
Tang Fei noticed the panic flashing in his eyes and had some guesses in his heart. And behind him, Murong Pianpian’s voice suddenly came coldly, “Patriarch Wu, why don’t you even call him ‘holy son’ now? Could it be that Patriarch Wu is determined to part ways with the holy son?”
The big hat that Murong Pianpian put on him suddenly took Wu Feng by surprise. Looking at the person who spoke, he was even more surprised.
Why did Murong Pianpian and Tang Fei come together again?
He hurriedly said, “Holy maiden Murong, please forgive me, the Ziqing Sacred Land has deprived young master Tang of the title of holy son. Although I don’t want to be disrespectful to young master Tang, the rules cannot be broken…”
Murong Pianpian snorted coldly, “It’s all an excuse! You…”
Before she finished speaking, Tang Fei waved his hand and said with a smile, “Junior sister doesn’t need to be like this. The words of Patriarch Wu are also reasonable. We are all reasonable people, so there is no need to be serious about this trivial matter.”
Murong Pianpian rolled his eyes at him, but she retreated obediently.Wu Feng glanced at Murong Pianpian quite unexpectedly, he didn’t expect this honorable holy maiden to listen to Tang Fei so much.
But he immediately turned his eyes back, and smiled at Tang Fei and the others, “Everyone, please come in and talk.”
Tang Fei nodded and went first, followed by Murong Pianpian, and the disciples of the Tiangang Sword School surrounded the two of them in the inner hall like qualified supporting actors.
No matter how much Wu Feng was suspected of being in cahoots with the poisoning of the Ziqing Holy Lord, there was nothing wrong with his hospitality. He warmly invited Tang Fei and the others to sit down and emphasized to his servants that should bring the best tea from the house.
If it were an ordinary person, he might be dizzy by Wu Feng’s enthusiasm, but Tang Fei sensed something strange from it.
He felt that Wu Feng seemed a little too nervous.
He first glanced at Qiao Yan with his eyes. Qiao Yan understood and left with the other juniors in the name of “it is inconvenient for the Tiangang Sword Sect to intervene in the internal affairs of Ziqing Sacred Land.”
The servants of the Wu family quickly arranged a place for them to rest, and only Wu Feng, Tang Fei, and Murong Pianpian were left in the inner hall.
After Qiao Yan and the others left, Tang Fei said calmly to Wu Feng, “Patriarch Wu doesn’t have to be so polite. My junior sister and I came here this time because I want to ask Patriarch Wu for advice.”
The smile on Wu Feng’s face stiffened immediately, but he still asked with a smile, “Young master Tang is being too serious. I don’t dare to give advice, but whatever young master Tang asks, I will tell you frankly.”
Tang Fei smiled, “That’s good.”
After a pause, Tang Fei withdrew his smile, looked into Wu Feng’s eyes, and asked word by word, “I wonder if Patriarch Wu knows about the poisoning of my late master?”
Wu Feng’s eyes flashed unnaturally, but he still put on an innocent look and asked, “I don’t understand young master Tang’s question. The Holy Lord was poisoned? When did this happen?”
Tang Fei sighed, and said, “Patriarch Wu, now that things have happened, I will not hide some things from you. My master was poisoned three years ago, and the poison in him was the Gu poison produced by the Wu family. I hope that Patriarch Wu can provide some useful clues to help me find the murderer who assassinated my teacher. If Patriarch Wu can tell us frankly, I will be very grateful!”
After speaking, Tang Fei stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Feng.
Wu Feng quickly helped Tang Fei up, and said, “Why is young master Tang like this? It’s a great shame! It’s just that I really don’t know about this matter, and I really can’t do anything about it! I really am a villain for not being able to help!”
Wu Feng looked distressed as if he was seriously ashamed that he couldn’t help.
If it had been before, Murong Pianpian might have believed it directly. But after talking with Tang Fei yesterday, Murong Pianpian also became more discerning and began to learn to look at people with scrutiny. She was originally a cold person with intelligence, and seeing this, she really saw the problem.
Tang Fei suddenly mentioned the poisoning of the Ziqing Holy Lord. Although Wu Feng expressed surprise, he did not express any surprise at Tang Fei’s title of “late master”. Once the word “late” is added to the address, it means that the person is dead. Wu Feng looked completely ignorant on the surface, but he was not surprised by Ziqing Holy Lord’s death. If he was said to be an outsider, no one would believe him.
Still, Murong Pianpian didn’t speak but put all the decision-making power in Tang Fei’s hands. She wants to see how he fights with this old fox and learn from it.
