Chen Feng's attitude towards traitors can be summed up in one word.

kill.

Whether Xue Hai appeared or not, once it was confirmed that the sachet was placed by the maid, her fate was always the same.

dead.

Since the maid is risking everyone's safety for her own benefit.

Chen Feng will personally fulfill her hopes.

Extinguish them all.

The maid's eyes widened, filled with fear and resentment, along with a vicious curse directed at Chen Feng.

In her final moments before death, her eyes reflected Chen Feng's indifferent expression.

The body slowly fell to the ground.

Cheng Tingxue's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"What are you all doing?! Why are you fighting amongst yourselves?"

Xue Hai feigned surprise.

"Stop pretending, at least make it look convincing."

Chen Feng interrupted Xue Hai and said coldly.

"Where's Zhang the镖头 (镖头 is a nickname for a镖师, a镖师, who is a镖师)? Is he still alive?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

He stared at Xue Hai warily.

Xue Hai, with a calm smile on his face, looked at Chen Feng and asked:

"How did you figure that out?"

Chen Feng did not answer.

But the reasoning was actually quite simple; he understood it the moment he saw Xue Hai.

First of all, Tie Tu's weapon was a cleaver, but Xue Hai did not have a single cut on his body.

Instead, the injuries were all caused by blunt force trauma.

The weapon used by Zhang Biaotou was a long staff.

Furthermore, the maid's reaction upon seeing Xue Hai proved everything; it was the look of someone grasping at a straw.

It's amazing that a traitor would show such a look in his eyes.

He'll just be another traitor.

Cheng Tingxue said in disbelief:

"Xue Hai, you..."

"I'm sorry, Madam, this is Second Madam's decision, and I am simply following orders."

Xue Hai, mounted on his horse, looked down at the crowd, raised his spear, and said loudly:

"Hand over Cheng Tingxue, and everyone else can leave as if nothing happened. Otherwise..."

"When Tie Tu arrives, he won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

Upon hearing these words, everyone except Cheng Li was tempted.

This is the current situation.

not much hope.

Chen Feng turned to look at Cheng Tingxue; he was at a loss now.

Cheng Li can only deal with Xue Hai at most.

What about Tie Tu?

Chen Feng still remembers punching Tie Tu in the shin; the recoil even dislocated his shoulder.

Cheng Tingxue stared blankly at Chen Feng, her eyes red-rimmed. When Chen Feng looked at her, she panicked and didn't know where to put her hands.

Her lips were pursed tightly.

Her eyes were filled with fear and unease. The maid was dead, and she was all alone now.

She was afraid, afraid that everyone would abandon her, afraid that she would really be captured by Tie Tu.

He was imprisoned by Lu Hong for the rest of his life.

They were reduced to playthings.

She stood there all alone, like a child abandoned by the whole world.

Helpless, pitiful, and so fragile that they would break at the slightest touch.

Finally, she turned her head away, not wanting the tears in her eyes to fall.

They also dared not face Chen Feng directly.

I'm afraid to see... the cruelest rejection.

Chen Feng's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by a giant hand.

I could barely breathe.

Why...?

Memories of the dead flooded back like a tidal wave.

When Chen Feng was six years old, he stood at the entrance of the village, quietly watching his parents leave.

Even though she was heartbroken, she didn't dare say "Don't go."

He thought that if he was well-behaved and sensible, his parents would come back sooner.

Why are you looking at me like that...?

Chen Feng turned his head away.

He dared not look at Cheng Tingxue again.

"I'll only count to three, three..."

Xue Hai began the countdown.

The first one was a square-faced martial artist who scurried over to Xue Hai's side.

He rubbed his hands together and asked with a forced smile, "Lord Xue, I am willing to offer my humble assistance. I wonder if you would be willing to accept my offer?"

Xue Hai nodded.

"Can."

It started with a square face.

Another martial artist from the Xu family also chose to leave.

The reason is simple: although he is Cheng Tingxue's subordinate, he is actually under the command of the Xu family.

Now even Xue Hai has chosen to stand on the opposite side.

This may be the Xu family's decision.

Whether it's the first wife or the second wife, they all belong to the Xu family.

"two......"

The countdown continues.

Next came Lao Li, Zhang Jiu, Wang Huan... Things had come to this point, staying was just waiting to die.

Tie Tu will not kill Cheng Tingxue.

However, they had heard some of the methods used by the branch leaders of the Canal Gang.

"Chen Feng... let's go."

Wang Huan said.

The square-faced martial artist immediately exclaimed anxiously, "We can't let them go!"

At the same time, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes; he remembered clearly the few punches Chen Feng had thrown at him.

We must trample Chen Feng under our feet no matter what.

Crush all faces.

"one......"

Xue Hai counted for a moment.

The sound of horses' hooves came from outside; it must be Tie Tu chasing after them.

Wang Huan and the others' expressions changed drastically.

They quickly mounted their horses and left, fearing that if they hesitated any longer, they wouldn't be able to leave.

Cheng Li shouted loudly:

"Chen Feng! If you're still willing to help me, take Tingxue and leave first!"

That's all.

He swung his fist and smashed it at Xue Hai.

"Hmph...still resisting."

Xue Hai raised his spear to block Cheng Li's attack, but was still thrown off his horse by the immense force of the punch.

"Cheng Li! Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you!"

Cheng Li remained silent.

They just kept attacking.

Chen Feng gritted his teeth.

He turned and ran... towards Cheng Tingxue!

With a gasp, he scooped Cheng Tingxue up in his arms and quickly carried her on his back.

They plunged headlong into the woods.

"Quick! Stop him!"

Xue Hai hurriedly gave instructions to the square-faced martial artist beside him.

The square-faced warrior also wanted revenge on Chen Feng, so without saying a word, he mounted his horse and charged at Chen Feng.

"Go to hell! Hahaha!"

A square-faced, menacing laugh echoed through the woods.

Chen Feng suddenly turned around.

Square-faced man was stunned. He saw Chen Feng's indifferent gaze, as if... he were looking at a dead man.

Anger instantly ignited within him.

"Where do you get your confidence! What makes you think you're so great?!"

next moment.

Those with square faces will know why—

Even with Cheng Tingxue on his back, Chen Feng's movements remained fluid: turn around, raise his hand, and aim.

Wang Huan's sword.

It was thrown at the square-faced man's head!

"puff"

Penetrate.

Square face, dead.

The body fell to the ground with a thud, and the horse, out of control, galloped off in another direction in fright.

After Chen Feng resolved the square face issue.

He carried Cheng Tingxue on his back and sprinted forward.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the forest.

Shortly after the two left, a burly man carrying a machete appeared on horseback at the same spot.

"Xue Hai, where is he?!"

Tie Tu spat and asked.

Xue Hai's face was grim.

Cheng Li laughed loudly, his blood and energy miraculously flowing freely. He swung his fist and smashed it at the other party.

"You even laid a hand on me!"

......

......

The wind howled in his ears, the trees and bushes rushed past, and the cold night air desperately filled Chen Feng's mouth and nose.

"I've suffered a huge loss! When I get back, the Cheng family absolutely has to compensate me!!!"

Chen Feng, who hadn't used a swear word in a long time, finally let out a curse.

Now, he and Cheng Tingxue are truly in the same boat.

Cheng Tingxue lay on Chen Feng's back, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes.

Try your best to control your emotions.

She didn't want Chen Feng to hear even a sob.

She couldn't believe that Chen Feng would choose to save her.

When Chen Feng turned his head, Cheng Tingxue truly thought that she was about to be completely abandoned.

"I want martial arts! Not only do you want to give me money, but I also want the martial arts of the Cheng family!"

Chen Feng never regrets his decisions; he only builds upon them.

To continuously expand one's own interests.

Cheng Tingxue felt a lump in her throat, tears welling up in her eyes. She pressed her forehead against Chen Feng's shoulder, almost bursting into tears.

"Th-thank you..."
