Azi felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze and quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes. She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white, and her body trembled even more violently.

"Great hero, I'll do anything you ask, just don't kill me!" Ah Zi raised her head, her face streaked with tears, her eyes filled with pleading, her voice utterly humble. "I can serve you tea and water, show you the way, just don't kill me, I'll do anything!"

Wu Feng remained silent for a moment, then slowly sheathed the Crimson Python Bloodstained Spear in his hand, his tone calm: "Fine, I won't kill you. From now on, you'll stay by my side and don't try anything funny, or you'll bear the consequences."

After saying that, Wu Feng reached out and grabbed A Zi by the collar, lifting her up. A Zi screamed in fright and quickly grabbed Wu Feng's arm, not daring to move.

Wu Feng exerted force with his feet, unleashing the Lingbo Weibu technique, and leaped away towards the outside of the Xingxiu Sect at an extremely fast speed.

He held Azi in his hand, the wind whistling past her ears. She could only hold on tightly to his arm, not daring to let go.

After a moment, Wu Feng stopped and landed on a hill outside the Xingxiu Sect, where he put A Zi down.

Azi's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She leaned on the tree trunk beside her, panting heavily. Her face was still pale and the fear in her eyes had not yet dissipated.

She cautiously raised her head to look at Wu Feng, her voice trembling as she asked, "Great hero, where...where are we going?"

"Of course, we're going to collect the spoils." Wu Feng looked at her, his tone calm but his eyes sharp. "You've been with the Starry Constellation Sect for quite some time. Tell me, where are the Starry Constellation Sect's treasures hidden? Ding Chunqiu is cunning and treacherous; he must have hidden a lot of good stuff."

Upon hearing this, Azi quickly lowered her head, thought carefully for a moment, and replied cautiously, "I... I don't know where Master hid the treasure. Master never lets us get close to his residence. However, given Master's personality, he is selfish and suspicious. Even if there is treasure, he wouldn't hide it too far away. He would definitely put it in a place where he can see and control it."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Wu Feng, afraid that her answer would displease him.

Wu Feng nodded slightly, thinking that what A Zi said made sense. Ding Chunqiu was so selfish and suspicious that he would not hide the treasure in a hidden place. It was most likely in his mansion.

Without asking any more questions, he reached out and lifted Azi up again, then used his lightness skill to run towards Ding Chunqiu's residence.

Soon, the two returned to Ding Chunqiu's courtyard. Wu Feng put A Zi on the ground. A Zi staggered for a moment, then steadied herself and followed closely behind Wu Feng, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily, not daring to make the slightest move.

Wu Feng walked straight to Ding Chunqiu's room, pushed open the door, and found the lights still on, illuminating the entire room with a dim yellow glow.

The room was simply yet luxuriously furnished, with a large wooden bed, a desk, and several exquisite wooden cabinets. On the floor was a small cauldron, presumably the Divine Wood King Cauldron that Ding Chunqiu used when practicing his skills. The cauldron had a faint green luster, and one could hear the sound of poisonous insects crawling.

When Azi saw the Divine Wood King Cauldron, her eyes lit up instantly, filled with greed. She subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to get closer.

But then she remembered Wu Feng's presence, and quickly stopped, lowered her head, and concealed her expression.

Wu Feng glanced at A Zi, saw through her thoughts, but was too lazy to say anything.

He stepped forward, reached out and picked up the Divine Wood King Cauldron. It was heavy in his hand, and the body of the cauldron was icy cold.

He took a closer look, confirmed it was a treasure, and then put it directly into his backpack.

He then began to rummage through the room, pulling open the desk drawers and opening the cabinet doors.

Inside were many valuables and banknotes, as well as some precious medicinal herbs.

It's clear that Ding Chunqiu didn't hide these things; instead, he left them out casually, obviously confident that no one would dare to provoke him.

Wu Feng swiftly packed all the gold, silver, valuables, banknotes, and medicinal herbs into his backpack, and then carefully checked every corner of the room.

They knocked on the walls and examined the floor, but found no hidden compartments or secret rooms. Clearly, these were all of Ding Chunqiu's treasures.

Wu Feng turned to look at A Zi, who was still standing timidly at the door, and said in a flat tone, "Let's go."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Azi by the collar again, turned around and walked out of the room, heading towards the outside of the Xingxiu Sect.

Ah Zi was held in his hand, her eyes darting around, her gaze flickering, as if she were thinking about something.

Her fingers secretly twisted the hem of her clothes, her face showing a hint of resentment, but she dared not show it and could only let Wu Feng carry her.

The two ran towards the city in the distance.

The two traveled at high speed, and by the time they reached a nearby town, the night was already as dark as ink. The city gates were already tightly closed, and the soldiers on the walls paced back and forth with their spears.

In the dark streets and alleys, only a few broken oil lamps in the corners of the walls burned with a faint light.

Wu Feng's gaze swept across the city wall, and he quickly locked onto a weakly defended corner.

With his left hand still holding Ah Zi's collar, and his right hand gently pressing against the wall, he quietly used the Cloud Leap technique, and his figure soared into the air like a swallow.

With a light touch of his toes on the wall, he carried Azi over the city wall, landing lightly on his feet.

It made only a very faint sound, without disturbing the soldiers guarding the wall in the slightest.

After entering the city, the streets and alleys were deserted, with only the creaking of doors and windows in the wind, and occasionally a few barks from a dog in someone's courtyard, before returning to silence.

Wu Feng carried A Zi and walked quickly through the streets and alleys, his eyes scanning the shops on both sides. Finally, he saw an inn with its lights still on at the street corner.

The wooden signboard of the inn swayed gently in the wind, and the four faded characters "Welcome Inn" were still faintly visible. Two oil lamps hung at the entrance, their dim yellow light barely illuminating the steps.

He pushed the door open and entered, the wooden door creaking open and waking the shopkeeper who was dozing behind the counter.

The innkeeper, rubbing his sleepy eyes, quickly stood up after seeing the two people at the door. He forced a slightly stiff smile and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Sirs, would you like to stay here?"

"A superior room, please," Wu Feng replied.

"You've come at the perfect time! We only have one superior room left. Please wait a moment, and I'll have the waiter take you up."

As he spoke, he called out towards the kitchen, "Waiter, wake up, take our guest to a room!"

A moment later, a waiter wearing a gray cloth jacket and looking sleepy rubbed his eyes and ran out. When he saw Wu Feng and A Zi, he quickly bowed and said, "Please come with me, sirs."

The waiter led the way, his hurried steps causing the wooden stairs to creak.

The oil lamp in the stairwell flickered, casting the shadows of the two people on the wall, which moved alternately.

Upon arriving at the innermost superior room on the second floor, the waiter pushed open the door and stepped aside to let us pass: "Sir, this is the room. There is hot water in the room. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."

Wu Feng nodded slightly and waved for the waiter to leave.

The waiter bowed respectfully, gently closed the door, and left with light steps.

The moment the door closed, the room fell silent, with only the flickering flame of the oil lamp on the table casting a faint glow on the furnishings.

Azi instinctively shrank back, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning white, her eyes filled with unease and anxiety, her gaze frantically sweeping around the room.

Like a small animal that has stumbled into a trap, it looked at Wu Feng helplessly, not daring to even lift its head.

Wu Feng bolted the door shut with a soft "click," breaking the silence in the room.

He looked up at the uneasy Azi, his eyes showing no emotion. He stepped forward and, before Azi could react, reached out and swept her up in his arms.

Azi gasped in surprise, instinctively reaching out to hug Wu Feng's neck. Her body stiffened slightly, a blush instantly spreading across her cheeks. Her eyes were filled with astonishment, but she dared not struggle and could only obediently lean against Wu Feng's chest.

Wu Feng carried her into the inner room, his gaze fixed on her face.

This girl is indeed very beautiful, with a charming look in her eyes and brows, but her personality is too wicked.

Furthermore, being born into the Xingxiu Sect, he has acquired many sinister habits. If he is not properly disciplined, he will surely cause trouble for himself in the future, and may even launch a sneak attack from behind one day.

Without the slightest hesitation, he sat down on the edge of the bed with Azi in his arms and began to carefully train her. At first, Azi was somewhat resistant, her eyes filled with stubbornness and resentment, and she would occasionally glare at Wu Feng.

But under Wu Feng's authority, she gradually lost her temper and could only obediently comply. The stubbornness on her face was gradually replaced by grievance and docility.
