"Xiao Li, don't cry, please. Listen, what's done is done, we must find a solution. You have to be strong!"

Feng Yueji looked at Xiao Li crying so painfully, and her heart twisted in anguish, her eyes slightly reddened as she tried to comfort her.

Xiao Li was not only her assistant but also her dear sister. Now facing such misfortune, she naturally felt the same anguish.

"Xiao Li, just let me see. Yue Ji is right, maybe I have a way." Jiang Feng said calmly.

"Woo woo!"

Seeing Feng Yueji and Jiang Feng both persuading her, Xiao Li felt truly helpless and could only cry as she said to Jiang Feng, "Then... Master Jiang, I'll take it off, just hope it won't... frighten you!"

These words carried a resolution of facing death, utterly heartbroken!

"It won't." Jiang Feng shook his head.

At this point, Xiao Li finally trembled with her tender white hands, gently touching the black cloth on her face, and then, with determination, took it off.

Immediately, her appearance was completely exposed in front of Jiang Feng and Feng Yueji.

What a frightening face it was!

The features were completely invisible, her face full of pus, lumps, and scars, in a mottled array of colors, terrifying to the extreme, and disgusting to the extreme...

There was still some pus oozing out, combined with the dense scabs, if anyone with a cleanliness OCD or trypophobia was present, they would probably be half scared to death on the spot!

Even though Feng Yueji had seen this face beforehand, seeing it again still gave her a strong sense of discomfort, her stomach churning violently. If she weren't afraid of shocking Xiao Li, she would truly have vomited...

Jiang Feng also knitted his brows at the sight.

This was the ugliest woman's face he had ever seen in his life, comparable to a devil, and just like Feng Yueji said, Xiao Li was completely disfigured!

"Woo! Master Jiang, did Xiao Li frighten... frighten you?"

Seeing Jiang Feng's tightly furrowed brow, Xiao Li became even more desperate, quickly covering herself with the black cloth again, speaking in pain.

"No."

Jiang Feng shook his head and calmly asked, "Xiao Li, why has your face turned like this? Is it really like Yue Ji said, it changed like this after just one nap?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Li nodded with tears, "Yesterday I was fine, but this morning when I got up as usual to go to work, as soon as I looked in the mirror, I saw myself like this..."

"I was so scared that I fainted on the spot. When I woke up, I quickly informed President Feng that I couldn't go to work today, and I couldn't... face any colleagues, woo woo..."

This girl, ultimately so straightforward, even at this moment, she felt sorry for Feng Yueji, sorry for her work, full of self-blame.

Feng Yueji looked at Xiao Li with heartache, then asked Jiang Feng, "Master, you are well-traveled and powerful, do you know of such a situation? What is going on?"

Jiang Feng found it inconceivable.

This kind of bizarre matter, this was also his first encounter, how could he provide an explanation?

However, he absolutely did not believe someone could have their appearance ruined just by sleeping!

"Xiao Li, think again, did you really not experience anything yesterday? Didn't encounter any strange occurrences?" Jiang Feng prompted.

"No!"

Xiao Li shook her head blankly, "Yesterday was just a normal work day, assisting President Feng with errands, nothing particularly strange... If there was anything, it was when I went to 'Huafu Shanshui' for a major contract with President Feng. I took her car to execute it and encountered a weirdly dressed person on the way, asking me for directions..."

"Weirdly dressed? How so?"

Hearing a key point in her words, Jiang Feng asked.

"Just... that person was dressed very strangely, in bright and colorful clothes, not like a local Binhai resident's attire, more like the ethnic minorities of Yundian, and that person looked like an ethnic minority as well, just suddenly stopped my car to ask for directions..."

Xiao Li explained.

Bright, colorful, Yundian, ethnic minority!!!

Connecting Xiao Li's words, Jiang Feng suddenly thought of something!

He had seen two people fitting Xiao Li's description before: one was Elder Mo Li of the Five Gu Sect, invited by the Yan Family in the Provincial City, and the other was the previously killed elder proficient in "Dead Man Poisonous Insect," Miao Renfeng!

Could it be, the person Xiao Li encountered yesterday came from the same source as them?

But why did he target Xiao Li?

Moreover, using such an extremely cruel method?!

Jiang Feng couldn't figure it out for the moment.

"Master, do you know who the person Xiao Li mentioned could be?" Feng Yueji observed Jiang Feng's expression and asked.

"Do you remember the person who summoned the 'Bone-Eroding Insect Tide' when the Yan Family was destroyed?" Jiang Feng asked back.

"Are you talking about... that Elder Mo?!"

Reminded by Jiang Feng, Feng Yueji suddenly recalled!

Sure enough, she was also present at the time, and the last two people who appeared at the Yan Family were the most evil she had encountered in her lifetime, unforgettable!

"If my guess is correct, the person feigning to ask Xiao Li for directions yesterday came from the same source!" Jiang Feng said coldly.

These words left Feng Yueji and Xiao Li stupefied on the spot!

"How could that be? Master, do you have any basis for such a judgment?" Feng Yueji pressed on.

After all, in her view, whether the Yan Family's demise or other events she had experienced with Jiang Feng had nothing to do with Xiao Li. She hadn't been involved, so why was Xiao Li targeted?

"It's quite simple. Yesterday Xiao Li was driving your car, and the real target was you!" Jiang Feng asserted firmly.

Boom!!!

With these words, Feng Yueji and Xiao Li were even more dumbfounded!

It turns out, the opponent was after Feng Yueji, with Xiao Li mistakenly bearing the brunt!

Thinking about how it could have been her transforming like Xiao Li, Feng Yueji couldn't help but shudder all over, trembling with fear!

"However, their real target might not have been you either."

Jiang Feng continued, "This matter, in essence, was likely aimed at me! They couldn't locate my whereabouts in Binhai, but discovered you are my disciple, so they targeted you to draw me out!"

"Ultimately, I got you both into this mess!" Jiang Feng said softly, yet his eyes still flickered with a fierce light!
