Chapter 152: Bathing the Moon

Shen Junyao saw Jiang Feng's expression turn solemn and hurriedly said.

"Jiang Feng, don't worry. I will immediately mobilize all police forces and resources to help you find her whereabouts!"

Jiang Feng slowly shook his head, his tone calm.

"No need, Officer Shen. Thank you for your kindness."

Ling Zhaixing's status is rather special, still being wanted; if the search is made in a high‑profile way, it could likely attract unnecessary trouble.

"I'll find a way myself, so I won't trouble you. If needed, I will contact you again."

Shen Junyao saw Jiang Feng's resolute attitude and, not wanting to force him further, could only nod.

"Alright, Jiang Feng. If there is any need, you can call me at any time."

"Hmm."

Jiang Feng nodded, saying nothing more.

Afterward, Jiang Feng, Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan got into the car arranged by Shen Junyao and drove toward the Su Family Villa.

About an hour later, the car arrived at the Su Family Villa.

Su Lao had long been waiting at the villa's entrance.

Since learning that Su Xueyan had been abducted, he had been constantly worrying about his granddaughter's safety.

When he saw the car slowly stop, Su Lao's eyes instantly brightened, and he hurried forward excitedly to greet them.

"Xue Yan! You finally returned!"

Su Lao embraced Su Xueyan in one arm, tears streaming.

"As long as you're okay, okay! Grandpa was worried sick about you!"

Su Xueyan couldn't help but have red eyes.

She gently patted her grandfather's back.

"Grandfather, I made you worry. I have good news: from now on, I will no longer be tormented by Cold Poison."

"Really?"

Su Lao suddenly released Su Xueyan, his eyes full of delight.

"Your Cold Poison... really cured?"

"Hmm! Really cured!"

Su Xueyan nodded vigorously, turned her head toward Jiang Feng, gentle as water.

"Thanks to Jiang Feng, he saved me and helped me get rid of the Cold Poison's trouble. Moreover, the Mysterious Warm Jade Core has also been recovered."

She lifted the brocade box in her hand and opened it for Su Lao to see.

Su Lao turned his head toward Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, thank you! You are a great benefactor of our Su Family! Great kindness need not be thanked; if any place in the future requires our Su Family's help, we will certainly spare no effort!"

Jiang Feng quickly helped Su Lao to his feet.

"Su Lao, you are too modest. I had previously promised you to help Xue Yan treat the Cold Poison; now I'm merely fulfilling that promise."

"No matter what, you are a great benefactor of our Su Family!"

Su Lao insisted, his eyes full of gratitude.

He pondered for a moment, then solemnly looked at Jiang Feng and Su Xueyan.

"Jiang Feng, I would like Xue Yan to marry you. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Grandfather!"

Su Xueyan's face instantly flushed, and she shyly lowered her head.

Jiang Feng was also stunned; he hadn't expected Su Lao to bring this up again.

Of course, after this incident, Jiang Feng also realized he did have feelings for Su Xueyan.

So he didn't pretend, nodded and said, "Su Lao, to marry Xue Yan is my honor; I am willing."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's answer, a flash of delighted light instantly burst in Su Xueyan's eyes.

Su Lao also let out a long sigh of relief, his face showing a satisfied smile.

"Good! Good! Wonderful! From now on, Jiang Feng is our Su Family's son‑in‑law!"

Su Xiaonuan also laughed, "Congratulations, Sister Xue Yan, congratulations, Brother Jiang Feng!"

For a moment, the Su Family was filled with joyous laughter.

……

Meanwhile, in a hidden Underground Water Prison.

Ling Zhaixing was bound by Iron Chain to a stone pillar at the center of the Water Prison, in pain.

Her body was covered in mud and bloodstains, and a few scratches marred her face, making her look rather disheveled.

At the far end of the Water Prison stood a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a bronze mask.

The mask covered his entire face, revealing only a pair of cold, merciless eyes, whose gaze flickered with a sinister light that sent chills down one's spine.

"Ling Zhaixing, I'll ask you again: where is the Southern Frontier Tiger Talisman?"

Ling Zhaixing let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of contempt.

"Want the Southern Frontier Tiger Talisman? Dream on!"

"Hmph, you refuse a toast, so you drink a penalty wine!"

A flash of anger crossed the mysterious man's eyes; he raised his hand and waved, an invisible force surging toward Ling Zhaixing.

"Snap!"

A clear red mark instantly appeared on Ling Zhaixing's cheek, burning painfully.

She jerked her head up, her gaze even more furious.

"If you have the ability, kill me! Trying to extract the Tiger Talisman's whereabouts from my Mouth is absolutely impossible!"

"Kill you?"

The mysterious person snorted Laughter.

I won't let you die that easily. I have plenty of Method to make you unable to survive and unable to die. I believe it won't be long before you obediently hand over the Tiger Talisman.

He paused briefly, then turned the conversation.

"However, before that, I'd like to ask you: was the Grandmaster Hong Tianyang under my command the one you killed?"

Hong Tianyang was a trusted subordinate I carefully cultivated, having reached Grandmaster-level, and was ordered to capture Ling Zhaixing and seize the Southern Frontier Tiger Talisman. Unexpectedly, Hong Tianyang died in the outskirts ruins.

Although I don't think Ling Zhaixing could have killed the other party, the masked man really wants to know who helped Ling Zhaixing.

Ling Zhaixing's Mouth corner lifted into a mocking smile.

"I don't mind telling you. The one who beheaded Hong Tianyang is named Jiang Feng. His strength far exceeds Grandmaster; a single finger could crush you. If you have the courage, go find him for revenge! I doubt you'll dare!"

"Jiang Feng?"

The mysterious person's Pupils suddenly contracted.

"That damned Jiang Feng again!"

At that moment, the Stone door of Water Prison was opened, and a man with a deer's head and mouse's eyes walked in.

He wore a grey long robe, his face bearing a flattering smile.

This man was none other than Ling Zhaixing's Senior Brother, Mu Laoyue!

Mu Laoyue approached Ling Zhaixing, his Tone carrying a hint of false concern.

"Junior Sister, long time no see."

Seeing Mu Laoyue, Ling Zhaixing's face filled with hatred, and he spat a mouthful at the other.

If it weren't for Mu Laoyue, how could she have been captured?

She never imagined that this Senior Brother from the same sect would backstab her!

Mu Laoyue, after being spat at, didn't mind at all; he even sniffed.

"Hmm, Junior Sister's saliva is so sweet…"

"Enough."

The masked person coldly interrupted Mu Laoyue: "I let you come here not to disgust me. Find a way to make her hand over the Tiger Talisman's whereabouts."

"Yes!"

Mu Laoyue quickly bowed and nodded, and the masked person turned and left.

Soon, only Mu Laoyue and Ling Zhaixing remained inside Water Prison,

Mu Laoyue gave a cold smile: "Junior Sister, you should know my Method… I don't want you to suffer so much, so tell me, where is the Tiger Talisman?"

Just as Ling Zhaixing was about to rebuke him, two Poison snakes suddenly emerged from Mu Laoyue's hand.

"Mu Laoyue, how dare you!"
