"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"You must be relatives of the White Emperor. How could you hide the truth from me!"

The father - son duo suddenly froze, and then burst into loud cries with a "Wow"!

"Waahhhhhh!"

"Senior! We're really not relatives of the White Emperor. It's just a misunderstanding!"

"We don't even know the White Emperor at all..."

"Senior, we were just bewitched for a moment and wanted to borrow the White Emperor's reputation to gain some good fortune. We really deserve to die. Please see the truth clearly!"

"Senior, please spare us!"

"Yes, yes! Senior, just treat us like a fart. Letting us go will make you feel at ease..."

Xu Xianzhi and his son wailed and nodded.

The way they looked.

It was like two old hens pecking at rice, showing no air of being relatives of a sage at all.

For any normal person.

Seeing this situation, one would probably have doubts in their heart.

Maybe.

Out of momentary soft - heartedness, they would just let them go casually.

But how could Yi Feng be so easily deceived!

He observed the two with a faint smile, remaining completely unmoved.

Especially when he saw Xu Xianzhi with tears streaming down his face, looking extremely remorseful!

That expression...

Those tears.

The well - matched lines!

Tsk tsk...

It looked so real.

The emotional outburst was off the charts!

It's no exaggeration to say.

This was textbook - level acting!

Then looking at Xu Kaihan, the "Little Zongzi".

Although he was a bit inferior to his father.

His emotions were mostly focused on panic, lacking the flavor of remorse. He shed more tears and his words were a bit slurred.

But his acting skills were also first - class!

At least.

The so - called traffic stars from his previous life would definitely be crushed into pieces in front of such acting.

This father - son pair.

They were both movie - star - level actors.

They were really a talented pair!

It's a pity.

Acting is just acting after all.

No matter how remorseful and panicked they seemed, it wasn't real. It even seemed a bit overdone!

Seeing that they were crying so hard that they were almost out of breath.

This was just too much!

It was so fake!

If an ordinary person knew that their family was going to be in trouble, they would surely prioritize saving themselves first. This was in line with human nature.

They were clearly relatives of the White Emperor, but after learning that someone was going to cause trouble, they immediately turned against the family!

They changed their attitude as quickly as turning the pages of a book!

They even showed off their acting skills one after another.

They would rather die than admit their identity!

Even though Xu Kaihan looked like a good - for - nothing, he also showed a sense of righteousness and tried his best to act at this moment.

Only those who were absolutely loyal and caring about their family, and always put the family first, could do such a thing.

It had to be said.

These two guys' cultivation was rather poor, but they still had a sense of the overall family situation and some backbone.

From this point of view.

They must be relatives of the sage.

At this moment.

Yi Feng even looked at them with a bit of new respect.

Then he gave them a cold glance.

As expected!

Xu Xianzhi trembled all over in shock, and his crying stopped immediately.

"Se... Se... Senior?!"

Look.

They were exposed!

Who could be stopped by just one glance when in extreme panic?

That trembling expression.

It was really over the top.

He wasn't a devil after all.

Was it really necessary to be so exaggerated?

Yi Feng saw through everything at a glance.

He looked at them with a smile.

"Stop pretending. You can't deceive me!"

"Just now, you had the audacity to flaunt the name of the White Emperor in front of me. That expression and tone couldn't be faked at all!"

"I could tell at a glance that you are relatives of the White Emperor!"

"All this crying now is just an act!"

Huh?!

Xu Xianzhi was left dumbfounded by the retort!

Though the sobbing had stopped, $2e found himself utterly speechless!

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined things would turn out this way!

With a snot bubble hanging from his nose, $2e struggled to string together a single coherent sentence, completely at a loss for how to defend himself!

The esteemed sect master of the Moonview Sect now resembled nothing more than a failing student put on the spot by a teacher—desperately anxious yet utterly clueless!

Damn it all.

How the hell was he supposed to explain this?!

Who could’ve predicted that his acting would one day be so convincing it’d land him in mortal peril?!

At this moment, $2u Xianzhi was beyond despair!

Forget pretending—

even if he genuinely wanted to cry from sheer frustration, $2ot a single tear would come out!

This was downright humiliating!

As the saint-level greatsword split the clouds overhead, its terrifying aura inching closer—

Xu Xianzhi dropped to his knees with a thud!

His lips trembled uncontrollably!

"Senior!"

"Senior!!!"

"Senior, you must believe me! I swear I’m no kin to the White Emperor!"

His desperate wails echoed through the streets, $2ripping with anguish and regret!

It was enough to move anyone to tears—

all that was missing was a snowfall to complete the tragic scene.

Honestly, $2he sheer drama of his performance was awe-inspiring.

Even though Xu Xianzhi had knelt so hard his son was flung onto his back, $2eaving them looking like a pair of glued-together turtles—a sight both pitiful and absurd—

Yi Feng couldn’t help but feel a flicker of admiration.

They were fully immersed.

At this moment, both men had lost themselves in their roles, $2blivious to everything else, consumed by righteous fury!

Now this was acting.

You had to hand it to them—

even at death’s door, they stubbornly clung to their lie about not being the White Emperor’s relatives.

These two had guts.

Truly, the kin of a saint.

Just their sheer acting chops and refusal to bend proved they were no ordinary men!

Clearly, $2is own performance as a ruthless kidnapper still lacked polish.

For the sake of his death-seeking mission, $2e’d have to escalate things.

So they wanted an acting showdown?

Bring it on!

Observing the scene coldly, Yi Feng sheathed his greatsword and drew a razor-sharp dagger instead.

Crouching down, $2e flashed a menacing grin.

"Either you summon the White Emperor,"

"or I turn you both into human sticks."

The icy threat sent father and son snapping their heads up in unison!

With a casual flick of the dagger, $2i Feng continued in a chillingly calm tone:

"You know what a ‘human stick’ is, right?"

"It’s when I use this little blade to carve away all your extra bits—arms, legs, the works—like trimming a tree branch."

"Don’t worry, I’m no monster. I won’t kill you outright."

"I’ll leave your heads intact, of course..."

By the time he finished speaking, $2u Xianzhi and his son had turned ashen-faced!

That deceptively gentle voice might as well have crawled straight from the depths of hell!

Instantly, $2 bone-deep chill seized their bodies!

The dagger’s cold gleam shimmered like moonlight, its aura alone enough to paralyze them with fear—

Another saint-tier weapon...?!

Xu Xianzhi’s scalp prickled with terror!

"Don’t fret. This blade may be small, but it’s plenty sharp. You won’t feel a thing. Heh heh heh..."

That laughter was pure nightmare fuel!

An actual demon!!!

Ignoring the sudden warm, suspiciously pungent dampness spreading down his back, $2u Xianzhi began kowtowing like a madman!

"Senior! Senior!"

"Let’s talk this through!"

"I—I’ll contact the White Emperor right now! Right this instant!!!"

By the time he stopped, $2 small crater had formed in the ground from the force of his pleading!

Yi Feng put away his dagger and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Get up."

The father and son got up shakily. Xu Kaihan's pants were soaked in a large area.

Alas.

Even the relatives of a sage are still human.

They're still afraid of death after all.

If they knew it would come to this, why did they have to go through so much trouble!

Finally, he had dealt with these two "actors".

Yi Feng didn't bother to pay any more attention to them.

He then walked towards his courtyard.

The two "mummies" had numb legs but could only follow him gritted their teeth, bowing like lackeys, completely losing their previous arrogance.

It wasn't until Yi Feng entered the courtyard.

He turned around and asked,

"Tell me, how are you going to inform the White Emperor?"

As soon as he said this.

The father and son stared at each other with wide eyes.

Just to save their lives, they had just followed what this expert said and made up such a lie.

How could they really find the White Emperor!

Not to mention passing on a message.

They didn't even know who the White Emperor was and had never seen him before!

But seeing this "demon" looking at them.

The father and son trembled all over!

Xu Xianzhi had no other choice but to force a smile and speak up bravely!

"Your Excellency... "

"I have a message - transmitting jade slip. As long as I send a message into it, the White Emperor will come... "

His smile was uglier than a cry.

His wrinkled face was like the heel of a foot.

Fortunately, there was finally a real expert. There was still hope even if they were looking for death.

Yi Feng nodded.

"Good."

"I'll wait for your news."

After that.

He untied them temporarily.

Watching Xu Xianzhi take out the jade slip and send a message in a decent way.

Only then did Yi Feng feel relieved.

Then he hung the two "mummies" at the door as a signpost to attract more hatred!

He then leisurely went into the house and lay down.

He was fully prepared to face death!

When there was no more sound.

The two "mummies" hanging in the air at the door breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... "

The master and the young master of the Moonview Sect had turned into these swaying "mummies" at this moment. It was indescribably miserable!

What was even more absurd was that.

Xu Kaihan smelled of urine.

Soon, several wild dogs were attracted. They jumped around on the ground and barked wildly.

It was really the case that a fallen hero is bullied by dogs!

A great sense of humiliation welled up in Xu Xianzhi's heart, but he couldn't care about it.

His eyes were full of despair!

In the end.

How could they escape this disaster.

The White Emperor was a real sage.

What an unattainable existence that was.

How could he come to this small town just because of a message.

This time.

It was really over...
