Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 37 037 Negotiation
Mike's friendly attitude made Feng Xiuhu feel a little flattered. He felt that his status as a deacon was different. He remembered that when he first met Mike, he yelled at him, but now he treated him as a fellow worker who worked at the next desk and could secretly complain about his boss with him.

One step closer to being a decent person.

"Greetings, Father Hollis Wu."

Wearing a deacon's robe, Feng Xiuhu imitated Hollis Wu and performed the chest-touching salute - mainly because there were outsiders present, and he felt he had to give Hollis Wu this face.

Hollis Wu was actually a little flattered. It was the first time he had seen Feng Xiuhu so polite - you know what, Feng Xiuhu looked quite decent in this outfit.

Hollis Wu nodded slightly in response, and gestured to the person opposite him: "This is Yu Duanhun, the chief priest of the Wind and Rain Goddess Temple."

Feng Xiuhu turned around and his eyes met Yu Duanhun's.

Just when Yu Duanhun was about to make his eyes look gloomy, he found that Feng Xiuhu had already looked away.

Feng Xiuhu was busy looking at the table.

The high priest and the priest sat facing each other, with a pot of tea in front of Yu Duanhun and a cup of coffee in front of Hollis Wu.

This teahouse has a comprehensive business.

Feng Xiuhu thought.

There was another person in the box. Behind Hollis Wu, Guard Officer Semm was leaning against the window looking at the scenery.

Although he looked casual, his hand was always on the hilt of the sword.

"cough."

Hollis Wu cleared his throat and spoke first, "Deacon Feng Xiuhu, I heard that you had a conflict with Diao Haisheng, the temple's tax collector, yesterday?"

He pronounced the word "deacon" very clearly, deliberately saying it for Yu Duanhun to hear.

"Oh, isn't it?"

Feng Xiuhu pulled out a chair and sat down directly between the two of them.

"Diao Haisheng is a ruthless man. He actually attacked me while I was showering. I was naked at the time and couldn't even find anything to defend myself with. I almost got caught."

Yu Duanhun suddenly interrupted: "Almost is almost, but aren't you sitting here perfectly still?"

He wanted to reclassify the incident, saying that a successful assassination and an attempted assassination were two different things.

But Hollis Wu didn't intend to give him this opportunity, so he continued: "Then, how did you survive?"

Feng Xiuhu raised his head and smiled: "Of course it's all thanks to my hard-earned skills. Who is Diao Haisheng? I single-handedly fought my way in and out of their crowd seven times. I used a bath towel to perfection. In the blink of an eye, I defeated the entire fish market gang. Diao Haisheng was convinced and surrendered..."

Hollis Wu: "..."

Yu Duanhun: “?”

Hollis Wu quickly raised his hand to interrupt: "Wait, think about it again - Mao Walnut is not what you said."

Feng Xiuhu's mood froze, and he touched his nose angrily: "Oh, you told him earlier that he had come to see you."

"Humph." Yu Duanhun sneered, "You're full of lies. Are the selection of deacons in the Mist Church so casual now?"

This soft nail really hit Feng Xiuhu's flesh. He glared at Yu Duanhun and said, "Did I tell you to fart? Just speak up?"

Everyone said Feng Xiuhu's brain was damaged by the beating, and Yu Duanhun had seen it all. He rubbed two fingers together, and his smile became even colder: "Those who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth have already met their end."

Hollis Wu failed to stop Feng Xiuhu from talking, and it was too late to regret. His expression immediately tensed up, his eyes fixed on Yu Duanhun's hand, while he also held the pendant on his chest.

Temples are different from churches. The use of magic spells is based on the use of spells.

Hollis Wu quickly explained, "He's just been a deacon for a short time and hasn't adjusted to the customs of Dicheng yet, so he doesn't understand etiquette. Why should High Priest Yu bother with him?"

Yu Duanhun stared at Feng Xiuhu for a long while, then finally sneered and returned his gaze to Hollis Wu: "Don't think I can't see through the church's tricks. The church is eager for him to die at the hands of the temple."

Hollis Wu was stunned. He really didn't know about this, but his mind was quick and he immediately figured out the intricacies.

But then, Hollis Wu's face darkened. How could Yu Duanhun know something that even he didn't know before him? Before Yu Duanhun finished speaking, his attitude suddenly hardened: "But the problem now is - he's not dead."

Yu Duanhun pointed at Feng Xiuhu.

Feng Xiuhu asked him, "Is it a problem if I'm not dead? Are you hoping for my death?"

Yu Duanhun was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued, "Instead, it was my people who died."

"And they came all the way to the port area to kill people. A total of 55 lives!"

"It's your church that has crossed the line!"

Feng Xiuhu said anxiously, "Stop accusing people!"

Yu Duanhun and Hollis Wu both looked over.

"There are only fifty-four! I counted them!"

Hollis Wu covered his forehead and took a deep breath.

Yu Duanhun sneered, "Fifty-four? You counted wrongly. Did you forget Diao Haisheng, who died on Yushi Street today?"

Feng Xiuhu denied it: "I didn't kill Diao Haisheng."

It's really not him.

Such an argument was meaningless, so Hollis Wu had no choice but to speak up: "Diao Haisheng was the one who started the dispute and assassinated the church deacon. For this reason alone, he deserves to die."

Feng Xiuhu's expression was stern: "Is it that serious?"

If you count it that way, he almost killed Mike.

Yu Duanhun would not be dismissed for this reason: "Even if he deserves to die, how he dies should not be decided by the church, let alone--"

He looked at Feng Xiuhu with a cold gaze: "Let this rat from the bottom city decide."

"He is a deacon now." Hollis Wu emphasized again.

"A deacon who's been abandoned by the church!" Yu Duanhun raised his voice. "We both know this, don't we? A dead man in deacon's guise, can he really be considered a deacon?"

Hollis Wu felt a headache and rubbed his brows: "As you said, he is not dead, so as long as he is still alive, he is the deacon."

At this point, Yu Duanhun had already seen through Hollis Wu's attitude.

He calmed down and took a sip of his teacup. "I understand. So the Church has always wanted only one thing—to fight, right?"

Hollis Wu slowly shook his head: "No, the church wants the port area."

Yu Duanhun sneered, "The port area means war to the temple."

Hollis Wu also laughed: "This is your temple's business, but if this is what the temple wants, the church has never been afraid of war."

Yu Duanhun was silent for a long time. "This is not something you and I can decide, but I will report everything that happened today to Master Gao Gong truthfully. Anyone can see clearly that this time the church overstepped its bounds."

Hollis Wu was about to respond when Feng Xiuhu suddenly stood up and interrupted, "So you two are talking about nothing useful, so why are you guys still chatting here for so long? I think you're both pretending."

Hollis Wu forgot what he was about to say.

Yu Duanhun was also a little confused. After a long silence, he said, "If I were the church, I would definitely hand him over as soon as possible."

Feng Xiuhu quickly expressed his loyalty: "Did you ask for my opinion? I don't want to join the temple."

Yu Duanhun was speechless for a moment. After moving his lips, he stood up and left angrily.
