Chapter 131: Excuse

……

Several days later, Hu Liena and her group, who had taken Ye Lingling to the Sunset Forest to experience the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and incidentally hunt for a spirit ring, returned to Yuexuan.

"Where's Dad?"

Xiao Wu, who had run to Nan Feng's room to ambush him only to find no one there, ran back.

"He went out this morning," A Rou said.

"Out?" Xiao Wu looked puzzled.

"Where did he go?"

Shrek was at the Lanba Academy, and Nan Feng wouldn't go there; the Tiandou Royal Academy had nothing fun, and Nan Feng wouldn't go there either. Besides Yuexuan, was there any other place in Tiandou City that Nan Feng was interested in? "The Crown Prince Mansion," A Rou said.

"The Crown Prince Mansion?" Xiao Wu's expression was a bit strange.

"What is he doing there?"

The relationship between Nan Feng and Qian Renxue didn't seem very good, right?

Nan Feng basically never went to the Tiandou Royal Academy, and even if there was business, Dugu Yan and the others came to Yuexuan. A large part of the reason was that it was easy to run into Qian Renxue there.

Trouble.

This was what Nan Feng had repeatedly emphasized: encountering Qian Renxue always led to some complex trouble.

He hated trouble, so avoiding it was best.

"He said there was something he needed her help with," A Rou said.

"I'm not too sure, but he hasn't been in a good mood lately, so don't be too rowdy."

"Not in a good mood?" Xiao Wu was stunned.

"What's wrong with him? Who provoked him?"

When they left Tiandou City for the Sunset Forest, Nan Feng was still in a good mood. It had only been a few days?

A Rou's expression was a bit unnatural. "Bibi Dong came."

"My teacher?" Hu Liena looked puzzled.

Her teacher came; why would Nan Feng be in a bad mood? "Did they quarrel?" Xiao Wu asked.

A Rou shook her head. "I'm not sure. She came at noon on the day you went to the Sunset Forest. I don't know what they said, but after he came out of the room, his mood was a bit off."

"I asked him, but he didn't say."

She had known Nan Feng for so many years and this was the first time she had seen him in that state—not angry, but very suppressed.

"Not in a good mood... and he still went to the Crown Prince Mansion?" Hu Liena had a bad premonition.

Could those two have really quarreled? Why?

The Xuantian Treasure Record, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and those hidden weapons—weren't they all progressing smoothly?

How could they suddenly quarrel? "Is my teacher still there?" Hu Liena asked.

"She should have gone to the Spirit Saint Hall," A Rou said.

"However, her state is also a bit off, so be careful."

"Off?" Hu Liena felt a bad premonition.

Could it be because of Yu Xiaogang?

That was the only point of conflict between Nan Feng and her teacher.

……

The Crown Prince Mansion.

The backyard.

"Something up?" Qian Renxue looked indifferently at Nan Feng, who had suddenly visited.

"There's something I'd like to ask for your help with." Nan Feng picked up the tea on the table and drank it directly, not caring whether it was poisoned or not.

"That's my cup," Qian Renxue said.

"Oh." Nan Feng returned the empty cup to Qian Renxue, took a new one, and poured another cup.

"This tea is from yesterday," Qian Renxue said.

"It won't kill me." Nan Feng condensed flames in his palm and heated it up temporarily.

Qian Renxue's eye twitched. "What help?"

"Tang San," Nan Feng said.

"It's inconvenient for me to move against him for the time being, and my identity isn't suitable for winning him over. At least before my plan is officially executed, he cannot lose control."

"I need you to use the identity of Xue Qinghe to win him over, and then facilitate his opposition to the Clear Sky Sect. It would be best to use him as a trigger to pull all the major forces in the spirit master world into the upcoming game."

"Why should I help you?" Qian Renxue asked.

"This has no benefit for me at all."

"It was Tang Hao who smashed Qian Xunji into a serious injury," Nan Feng said. "Although that was your father's own fault, if you want revenge, Tang Hao should be your target, and the Clear Sky Sect can be one too."

"But I think you are the main culprit," Qian Renxue said coldly.

"You can think that; I don't object." Nan Feng drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp.

"You can also seek revenge on me; I don't object."

Qian Renxue snorted coldly. "I don't need you to tell me!"

"So, are you willing to help?" Nan Feng asked.

"You still haven't answered why I should help you," Qian Renxue said.

"Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Sect's grudge—I will report it myself. I am not you; I don't need to calculate everything, and I certainly don't need to play dirty tricks!"

"……"

"Forget it if you won't help."

Nan Feng stood up and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!" Qian Renxue stood up and shouted.

Nan Feng didn't react. Seeing this, Qian Renxue leaped and blocked Nan Feng's path.

"Is this the attitude you have when asking for help?" Qian Renxue said unhappily.

"First, I am not begging you; second, I have no interest in begging people," Nan Feng said.

"Forget it if you won't help."

"……"

"I can help you, but you have to agree to one condition," Qian Renxue said.

"What?" Nan Feng asked.

"Tell me what happened back then," Qian Renxue said.

"You, and her—why did you kill my father?"

"You shouldn't ask me about this," Nan Feng said.

"And it shouldn't be told by me."

"Why?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.

"You know why it can't be said?"

"This is your family business; it has nothing to do with me," Nan Feng said.

"If you want to know, you should go ask your grandfather."

"I asked, but he won't say," Qian Renxue said.

"I don't understand. Clearly, it was his son who died; why does he have that attitude?"

Nan Feng paused. "Do you think a single sentence can become a standard for conviction?"

Qian Renxue was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"There was a man who adopted a child and raised her. One day, this child came to him and said she liked someone and wanted to be with him. This man disagreed and insulted the guy the child liked. Then, the child, in a fit of anger, threatened this person that if he didn't agree, she would rather run away from home than be with that guy. Facing this situation, how do you think this person would handle it?" Nan Feng asked.

Qian Renxue paused. "Find a random assassin and kill the guy... that person she liked."

"That's the thinking of a normal person," Nan Feng said.

"Or rather, that's human thinking."

"But guess what that person did?"

Qian Renxue had a strange feeling. "What did he do?"

"Without saying a word, he raped the child that very night and threatened her that if she met that guy again, he would kill him," Nan Feng said.

"What does this..." Qian Renxue was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"You might as well apply what you know to this," Nan Feng said.

"With your brain, you should be able to think this through clearly."

Just because of a threat, he would rather rape the child he had raised since she was small than kill the outsider. He couldn't understand what was going on in Qian Xunji's brain.

If Qian Xunji wasn't a pig-brained idiot and wasn't in love with Yu Xiaogang, the only explanation was that he had already planned it; Yu Xiaogang was just an excuse.

Clearly, killing Yu Xiaogang would have solved the problem perfectly, yet Qian Xunji chose a method that no normal person could understand.

Being able to cultivate to level 95 meant Qian Xunji's intelligence was normal.

Therefore, the only explanation was that Qian Xunji had this intention from the beginning.

Even, in Qian Xunji's eyes, Bibi Dong was merely a suitable tool for reproduction, not even considered a person.
