Chapter 157 Threat
Chapter 157 Threat
Once Mo Zhao falls into Lei Mingtian's hands, all his hatred for Miss Nong Yue will be transferred to Mo Zhao. What awaits her will be endless torture and humiliation.
If her friend's life was ruined because of her, how could Miss Nong Yue feel at ease? How could she face Mo Zhao again? She could not watch the worst happen.
Fortunately, Lei Mingtian was only hinting at the threat so far, still holding onto a last glimmer of hope for her, hoping to force her into submission and restore his lost face.
He hadn't taken action yet, so she had to hurry.
"Sorry, I can't help you with this matter. I am the Wan family's priest. How can I become an enemy of the Lei family at will? You should find someone else." Xu Feng said lightly.
Although he felt a little sympathetic towards Mo Zhao from the Mo family, after all, she had done nothing wrong, she was just a lowly person, innocently caught in the crossfire, and became a victim of the emotional conflict between the two. But he would never rashly intervene in this matter, and there was no reason to intervene at all.
There are too many injustices in the world, and he can't just take care of every one he knows about, especially something like this that has no benefit and will endanger his own safety.
"I'm not an enemy of the Lei family, I'm only an enemy of Lei Mingtian. As long as you take the lead in proposing marriage to the Mo family, you'll be in the right.
Even if Lei Mingtian asks the Mo family for Mo Zhao in the future, the Mo family is a third-rate family and they cannot afford to offend either of you two. When the time comes, they will let you two solve it yourselves.
The most likely possibility is that you and Lei Mingtian will face off in the ring. You don't have to worry about the Lei family. Lei Mingtian is arrogant and conceited, and he doesn't take many of his fellow clan members seriously. Many people in the Lei family have opinions about him. If you can defeat Lei Mingtian and dampen his spirit, the Lei family's top management may be grateful to you, letting him know that there are always people better than you.
You proposed the marriage first, so the Lei family was wrong. Besides, the competition in the ring is the fairest and most common way to resolve disputes in Qinglian County. If the Lei family wants to cause trouble for you afterwards, they will give others a handle and be ridiculed. They won't be so stupid just because of the daughter of a third-rate family. "Miss Nong Yue said carefully.
"You want me to go to the ring and compete with Lei Mingtian in fighting women? Are you crazy? I am only in the middle stage of the fifth rank. Lei Mingtian is not only in the late fifth rank, but the Lei family is also a powerful family with a deep foundation and has produced top third rank masters. How can I defeat him?
Most importantly, what does this have to do with me? You and I are not related at all, why should I take such a big risk to help you? "Xu Feng was almost laughed at by her.
The other party's words sounded nice, but there were too many variables involved. The key point was that there was no benefit in this matter that made him interested. Did the other party think he was being taken advantage of?
"This girl just asked you for help on the street that day, and didn't you, Master Xu, lend a helping hand? Are you just going to watch me die without helping?" Miss Nong Yue said with some resentment on her face.
"She is different, she is my...woman." Xu Feng immediately retorted, and then suddenly realized that there was no need for him to explain to her.
"Let's go. This woman is a little mentally ill. Don't bother with her." Xu Feng said to Shen Yunshuang.
Shen Yunshuang blushed slightly and nodded obediently. This was the first time Xu Feng said she was his woman in front of outsiders, and she felt sweet in her heart.
However, Xu Feng and Shen Yunshuang had not taken a few steps when Miss Nong Yue's voice came from behind them again. "Mr. Xu, do you really think that you have done a perfect job in eliminating those scums from the cultivation families outside the county city?"
Xu Feng paused, and Shen Yunshuang's face changed in shock when he heard the words, with turbulent waves in her heart.
Xu Feng turned around slowly with an expressionless face, looked at the other person and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"Didn't you say that? You are only in the middle stage of the fifth rank, why do I think you can beat Lei Mingtian who is in the late stage of the fifth rank? After all, if you can't beat him in the ring, everything I do is meaningless.
If I didn't know that you could escape successfully even if you were ambushed by the Situ family, how could I have thought that you had the strength to defeat Lei Mingtian and come to ask for help?" Miss Nong Yue smiled softly.
From the other party's meaningful gaze, Xu Feng quickly realized that the person who was selling breakfast near the city gate and delivering messages to Shen Yunshuang had fallen into the other party's hands.
When dealing with ordinary people, the cultivation family has plenty of ways to make him confess everything. Once this woman hands this person over to those victims, Shen Yunshuang will be exposed, and she will be implicated.
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Feng said coldly.
"I dare not. I have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Please forgive me for any offense I have caused. I implore Master Xu to help me. I apologize to you here." Miss Nong Yue saluted him seriously, and then did not stand up. She kept the posture motionless, waiting for Xu Feng's reply.
Xu Feng used both soft and hard tactics, his fists clenched tightly, his face so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
After a moment, seeing that the other party was determined to achieve his goal, he finally snorted coldly, pulled the flustered Shen Yunshuang, and turned away.
"Mr. Xu, will I propose marriage to the Mo family in your name? Don't worry, you won't have to worry about all the procedures and etiquette. I will take care of it all for you." Behind him, the voice of Miss Nong Yue came again, with a tone of relief and success.
……
"Brother Xu, what are you going to do? Are you really going to fight with that young master of the Lei family in the ring?" Shen Yunshuang said to Xu Feng with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If I can't win, I will admit defeat as soon as possible. If something happens to me, who will protect you in the future?" Xu Feng said to her with pity.
"It's all my fault. I wasn't careful enough and someone saw through my flaws." Shen Yunshuang shed tears and blamed herself.
"It's none of your business. I was the one who brought up that matter first." Xu Feng gently held her in his arms and comforted her in a soft voice.
Nearing his own courtyard, Xu Feng saw another disgusting person.
"The chief priest is really enjoying himself." Yingluo waited quietly at the gate of Xu Feng's courtyard. Seeing Xu Feng and Shen Yunshuang returning together, their intimate posture made her a little surprised and a little angry. He was indifferent to a stunning beauty like his own lady, and even cheated on her, but he was so intimate with this ordinary woman in front of him?
"What are you doing here?" Xu Feng frowned.
"The chief priest didn't seem to take his promise to my young lady to heart." Liuli said with a raised eyebrow.
The matter of curing Lei Sheng from the Lei family who was infected with the giant food insect? Xu Feng had really forgotten about it.
"My young lady is gradually losing her patience," Yingluo continued.
Xu Feng's mind suddenly moved. If he could really save Lei Sheng, with this favor, he could not only get the spiritual things of the Lei family, but also probably solve the thing that Miss Nong Yue had just asked for smoothly, without having to take a huge risk to compete with Lei Ming in the arena.
After all, he has become the benefactor of the Lei family. He also took the initiative to propose marriage to the Mo family and was right. If Lei Mingtian competes with him again, it would be too ungrateful, and the head of the Lei family would probably not agree.
"Go back and tell your young lady that I will do what I promised her soon. But I can only promise to try my best, and the possibility of success is not high. If she continues to pester me..." Xu Feng suddenly stopped talking, and a deep evil look flashed across his face.
"Then don't blame me."
