CHAPTER 741: CHAPTER 608: ONLY ONE OF YOU OR HIM MAY REMAIN

Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun returned to the City Lord’s Mansion without anyone noticing that Feng Xun had disappeared.

Early in the morning, Lan Cai’er mysteriously found Ye Lingyue.

"Wang Xiaodie is gone!"

Due to her feminine nature, Lan Cai’er has always disliked Wang Xiaodie. Ultimately, because Lan Cai’er always felt that Wang Xiaodie was just like those seemingly harmless but actually vicious women like Song Jingyun.

"She’s gone back to her hometown and won’t be back for a while," Ye Lingyue said with a smile but remained silent.

Die Mei, being an Earth Evil, couldn’t live outside for long, even if she left the Heaven and Earth Array; the same was true for other Earth Evil Lords. To move among the common folks, they would still need a host body.

For now, Ye Lingyue hadn’t yet found a suitable host body.

Die Mei was also closely planning, working together with Ye Lingyue against other Earth Evil Lords.

It wasn’t just Lan Cai’er who noticed that "Wang Xiaodie" had disappeared; Yan Jiu also came early in the morning to the study in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Ye Lingyue was not fond of reading, and this study was something Feng Xun had set up after his arrival, specifically to handle the official affairs of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Ever since Feng Lan also moved into the City Lord’s Mansion, it had become a classroom where Feng Xun taught Feng Lan the affairs of Feng Residence.

At this hour, Feng Lan had not yet arrived.

When Yan Jiu entered, Feng Xun was holding the pair of boots that Ye Lingyue made for him.

"What are you smiling so foolishly about this early in the morning?" Yan Jiu hadn’t gotten a clear look when Feng Xun quickly hid what he was holding.

"Foolish smile?" Feng Xun was puzzled.

"I haven’t seen you foolishly smiling, I stood outside for a while, just watching you smiling foolishly like you got some treasure. Take it out and let me see," Yan Jiu teased.

Feng Xun being foolish, nine times out of ten, was related to Ye Lingyue.

Seeing Feng Xun in such a state was rare, and Yan Jiu certainly wouldn’t miss this excellent opportunity.

With a long leg, Feng Xun kicked, flipping the stool under Yan Jiu.

Unprepared, Yan Jiu fell to the ground, landing upside down.

"Feng San, you dare to trick me! Sooner or later, I will reveal your true face to..." Yan Jiu’s voice trailed off.

He looked at the stool hit by Feng Xun, which crumbled like tofu dregs.

Thinking back on the speed of Feng Xun’s kick, even he couldn’t react in time.

"You?! Are you really Feng San or the boss?"

Yan Jiu only dared to mock Feng Xun a bit, but if it were Wu Zhong, even a couple more guts wouldn’t be enough.

"Who do you think I am?" Feng Xun said, half-smiling.

That look even confused Yan Jiu for a while.

"Don’t talk about you, even I can no longer tell myself apart."

Feng Xun got up, his gaze complex as he looked at the pile of wooden debris.

It seemed that since last time he returned to Beiqing from Mercenary City, he felt some changes happened between himself and Wu Zhong.

Sometimes, he couldn’t even tell whether he was Feng Xun or Wu Zhong himself.

Yan Jiu’s expression grew solemn.

"Yan Jiu, do you know something? Speak up. I can tell that over the years, you have been hiding something from me," Feng Xun noticed the changes in Yan Jiu’s expression.

Apart from Wu Zhong, who shared his body, Feng Xun had only two friends in this life; one was Cong Lv, the other was Yan Jiu.

Cong Lv was his childhood friend, who he had known since childhood, but because of Xue Pian Ran, they could no longer return to the past.

As for Cong Lv, Feng Xun had no guilt.

Yan Jiu, however, appeared in front of Feng Xun the year he discovered Wu Zhong’s presence inside his body.

To this day, Feng Xun still remembered the first time he met Yan Jiu.

That was shortly after Feng Xun returned to the Feng Residence, when he was eleven years old and had just assumed the position of Family Head not long before. Many members from the collateral branches of the Feng Residence were dissatisfied with Feng Xun.

They took the opportunity when Little Feng Xun was inspecting the properties of the Feng Residence to kidnap him, forcing him to hand over the Phoenix Token.

Little Feng Xun naturally did not wish to comply, thus he was locked in a pitch-black room filled with rats and reptiles.

The first to find Feng Xun, was none other than Yan Jiu.

Feng Xun remembered, when the first ray of sunlight illuminated the dark room, Yan Jiu walked in.

Upon seeing Feng Xun curled up in a corner, his small face dirty.

The body of that handsome young man trembled intensely.

He walked over to Little Feng Xun, knelt down on the filthy ground without caring.

He bent down, gently kissed the ground in front of Feng Xun, and softly said,

"My king, I have finally found you."

After that, Yan Jiu lifted him up high, letting him sit on his shoulders.

"King, let’s go home."

At that moment, Little Feng Xun looked down and saw the gaze of Yan Jiu.

In the eyes of the young boy, there was such determination and resolve.

Afterwards, Yan Jiu sent Little Feng Xun back to the Feng Residence.

When Yan Jiu first appeared, Housekeeper Mu and others were skeptical of him.

But when Yan Jiu, single-handedly, defeated all the top martial artists of the Feng Residence, Housekeeper Mu fell silent.

Since then, Yan Jiu, taking on the role of Little Feng Xun’s master, resided in the Feng Residence intermittently.

During the day, he studied management alongside Feng Xun, while the nights belonged to Yan Jiu and Wu Zhong.

Many martial arts of Wu Zhong were personally taught by Yan Jiu.

It was also Yan Jiu who told Feng Xun not to fear Wu Zhong.

It was from then on, Feng Xun and Wu Zhong, appeared in different identities.

One was the Feng Residence Master, and the other was the Ghost Emperor of Yan Hall, just like the dark and bright sides of matters.

Later on, Yan Jiu and Wu Zhong became mercenaries together and set up the Underworld Yama Palace.

Once, Feng Xun asked who exactly was Wu Zhong? Why was he in his body?

What kind of relationship did Yan Jiu and Wu Zhong have?

However, Yan Jiu never conclusively answered him.

At that time, Yan Jiu merely smiled as always and said.

"The time has not yet come, one day, I will tell you."

Remembering the past, Feng Xun felt a dryness in his throat, he suddenly realized that perhaps, the "one day" Yan Jiu spoke of was about to arrive.

"Yan Jiu, is the time you spoke of almost here?" Feng Xun’s heart sank.

"Feng Xun, have you ever thought, if only one can remain between you and Wu Zhong, who will ultimately remain?" Yan Jiu suddenly asked.

Feng Xun did not answer.

"Maybe I’m overthinking, that time may never come." Yan Jiu patted Feng Xun’s shoulder and walked out.

Only leaving one, meant he and Wu Zhong...

If a eleven-year-old Feng Xun didn’t care about his own life and death.

Then, the seventeen-year-old Feng Xun was different now.

His parents were still alive, he had a woman he wanted to spend his life with.

Feng Xun stood in the study for a long time, clutching the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag tightly in his hand.
