Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Miss Wan'er, my name is Lu Feng, and I am one of the independent cultivators from Hedong Prefecture in the Xuan Song Kingdom..."

Composing himself, Lu Feng looked at Bei Chenwan, who was staring blankly at him, and then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying, "May I ask, Miss Wan'er, do you truly not remember what happened in the past?"

"No, I don't remember...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's question, Bei Chenwan first raised her hand and pounded her head. The next moment, she stood up and retreated repeatedly, her pretty face full of surprise and uncertainty, as if she still harbored some wariness towards him.

After all, a man and a woman alone in a room, and the other party was a complete stranger she had never seen before. In fact, Bei Chenwan didn't remember anything that happened before she lost consciousness, so she was naturally very wary!

"Miss Wan'er, although I am merely an outsider and should not interfere in the internal affairs of your Beichen clan, this matter is indeed of great importance, and I feel I should not keep it from you..."

Seeing Bei Chenwan moving away from him with a wary expression, Lu Feng wasn't angry or bothered. He simply shrugged and then recounted what had happened before she lost consciousness.

As for the truth behind the fact that the other party was afflicted with the Soul-Controlling and Mind-Blinding Gu, the fact that the two dragons of Beichen were turned into demonic corpse puppets, and even the recent spate of disappearances and murders of the Beichen clan, Lu Feng did not hold back and told them all.

"Heh, heh heh, so that's how it is...!"

After hearing the whole story, Bei Chenwan's face turned deathly pale. She immediately squatted down on the ground, her delicate hands trembling as she hugged her arms, letting her sharp nails dig into her flesh. "So Father really is..."

"And me... what have I been doing lately...!"

Bei Chenwan continued muttering to herself, her expression growing increasingly pained, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

As for Lu Feng, he didn't say anything either, but instead remained silent, which was unusual for him. He seemed to understand women's hearts very well, while letting Bei Chenwan silently vent her bitterness.

Before we knew it, another half incense stick's time had passed.

"Young Master Lu."

Seemingly, her inner turmoil had subsided considerably, or perhaps she had accepted reality. Bei Chenwan slowly rose and looked at Lu Feng beside her, "No matter how you look at it, I still want to thank you..."

"Miss Wan'er, you're too kind."

Seeing that Bei Chenwan had recovered, Lu Feng did not boast about his achievements. He simply spread his hands outwards and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. It was just that Bei Chen Erlong... uh, to be more precise, Bei Chen Erlong, who was turned into a demonic corpse puppet."

"This person, for reasons unknown, has been collecting the hearts of living people everywhere, and even set his sights on me. So I had no choice but to retaliate. And what happened next, Miss Wan'er, you probably already know..."

Lu Feng said with a hint of emotion.

"Collecting all sorts of living human hearts..."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenwan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her pretty face turning quite unpleasant. "Father, so it really is about that matter after all...!"

"Miss Wan'er, please forgive my intrusion, but the mastermind behind this matter could be...?"

Noticing that Bei Chenwan's expression was somewhat unpleasant, Lu Feng subconsciously asked her the same question.

"Hey, not bad...!"

With another heavy sigh, Bei Chenwan shook her head helplessly and said in a low voice, "Whether it's the two Bei Chen dragons who killed and stole my heart in the past, or the mastermind behind planting the 'Soul-Controlling and Heart-Concealing Gu' on me, it's not some remnant of the Wusheng Sect or an outside expert, but the current patriarch of the Bei Chen clan, my father, Bei Chen Lie...!"

"Tch, as expected, it was that old bastard Bei Chenlie who did this..."

Upon hearing Bei Chenwan's admission, Lu Feng clenched his fists and secretly pushed his abdomen.

In fact, he had already guessed something fishy from the very beginning. Bei Chenlie, the patriarch of the Bei Chen clan, definitely had a big problem behind him!

"Miss Wan'er, what are your plans next?"

Lu Feng glanced at Bei Chenwan, who was silent on the other side, and asked tentatively.

After all, the other party's biological father not only committed numerous evils and killed countless people, but he also did not spare his own clansmen. This is one of the reasons why the Beichen clan has recently experienced a series of missing persons and murders.

As Bei Chen Lie's biological daughter, Bei Chen Wan now has almost only two paths left to take: either follow her father to the bitter end, or sacrifice her own family for the greater good.

"Young Master Lu, thank you for removing the Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu from my daughter's body. As for the rest, please don't trouble yourself; I will handle it myself!"

After saying that, Bei Chenwan seemed to have made up her mind and turned to leave the underground secret room.

"Miss Wan'er, please wait!"

The other person had barely left when Lu Feng called out to him again, saying in a deep voice, "Miss Wan'er, your decision to sacrifice your own family for the greater good is not wrong, but if you act alone, you will most likely repeat the same mistake, and may even endanger your life..."

At this point, Lu Feng slowly walked up to Bei Chenwan, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying, "If you ask me, instead of confronting her head-on, why don't we use a clever strategy to turn the tables on her...!"

"Young Master Lu, what do you mean...?"

Upon hearing Lu Feng's words, Bei Chenwan was also somewhat surprised, and her pretty face froze in surprise.

As the saying goes, teamwork makes the dream work!

With another grin, Lu Feng said unhurriedly, "Miss Wan'er, you might not succeed this time on your own, but if the two of you join forces, the situation will be different..."

"After all, one plus one is greater than two. With my help this time, our chances of winning will be even higher...!"

"Besides, that old scoundrel Bei Chenlie... uh, that guy Bei Chenlie has his eye on my heart. Although I don't know why he doesn't take action himself, as long as I'm alive, he probably won't let it go so easily..."

"Therefore, as long as I am used as bait, and a clever scheme is employed, there is a very high probability that Bei Chenlie will take the bait. At that time, Miss Wan'er, your chances of success will be much greater...!"

At this point, Lu Feng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and asked tentatively, "What do you think of my suggestion, Miss Wan'er?"
