Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The capital remained under martial law. Mao Feng and Devon could only constantly change bridges and hide. Every day, they looked forward to Chen Yue’s return. The two of them were so hungry that they had already begun to fight with the homeless for food.
As the two of them looked forward to it, Chen Yue finally returned. Moreover, she came to pick them up in a luxury car. Mao Feng and Devon could not believe their eyes when they saw her dressed like a rich young lady.
“Hurry up and get in the car,” Chen Yue said impatiently. “Do you need me to personally invite you?
Hearing Chen Yue’s words, the two of them finally reacted. They brought all their belongings and climbed into the car. Chen Yue looked at them with disdain.
The luxury car drove all the way to an exquisite villa. Mao Feng and Devon followed Chen Yue out of the car with blank expressions. When they entered the villa, a middle-aged man was waiting.
The two of them immediately understood that this was the backer that Chen Yue had found. They quickly pretended to be experts. At the very least, they looked very mysterious.
Chen Yue nodded at the man as a greeting. Then, she introduced, “These two are the wizards that the Gu family wants to catch. Their cultivation bases are top-notch.”
Mao Feng and Devon also nodded like Chen Yue, putting on the airs of experts. The man sitting on the sofa was Rong Feng. After hearing his nephew’s words, he met Chen Yue alone. Although he did not like her arrogant attitude, he was very interested in what she said about killing Rong Xuan.
As a side branch of the Rong family, Rong Feng was indeed powerful enough, but he also had the blood of the Rong family flowing in his veins. Why did he have to be that brat’s subordinate?
Even if Rong Feng thought so, it was useless. As long as Old Master Rong was still alive, the heir would not change unless Rong Xuan died in an accident.
Chen Yue was well aware of the hidden secrets of the aristocratic families, which was why she had approached Bai Hao to pass on a message to Rong
Feng. She was confident that Rong Feng would be moved by this suggestion.
As expected, Rong Feng met her to discuss this matter. After confirming the plan, she brought Mao Feng and Devon over.
“Since you’re both sorcerers with high cultivation levels, what method can I use to fulfill my wish?” Rong Feng asked directly.
Chen Yue looked at Mao Feng and Devon and said, “Mr. Rong wants that young master of the Rong family to die slowly. Do you have any good ideas?”
The two of them tried their best to hide their shock and make themselves look expressionless. However, they cursed Chen Yue tens of thousands of times in their hearts. Why did she dare to agree to anything:’
Even a foreigner like Devon knew how important the young master of the Rong family was to the Rong family. They were chased everywhere after offending the Gu family. If they really attacked the young master of the Rong family, the two of them might as well hang themselves.
Chen Yue explained, “You don’t have to worry about the Rong family taking revenge. Once the young master of the Rong family dies, the Rong family will belong to this Mr. Rong. With him protecting you, nothing will happen to you.”
Rong Feng nodded. “I can completely guarantee your safety.”
Other wizards might believe this, but Mao Feng would not believe a word of it. He had experienced too many fights between noble families. No matter if they succeeded or failed, they wanted the wizards to shut up forever.
Devon wanted to agree, but when he saw Mao Feng’s expressionless face, he swallowed his words. After all, he was an outsider and did not know the situation in the capital. It was better to follow Mao Feng.
Chen Yue naturally knew what they were hesitating about. She smiled and said, “You are now being jointly hunted by the three aristocratic families.
Other than Mr. Rong, no one can protect you.”
Hearing this, Mao Feng and Devon had no other choice but to nod and say, “We promise to help Mr. Rong.”
Just like that, Mao Feng and Devon became Rong Feng’s subordinates. the Gu family’s people were still searching everywhere for them. Gu Lin finally realized that something was wrong.
“Let’s suspend the search,” he said. “Continued martial law in the capital will cause panic among the people. We can investigate their tracks in private.”
Gu Jia agreed with this idea. “Removing martial law can also make those two people lower their guard. Perhaps we can lure them out.”
The other members of the Gu family also agreed with this method. Only Cheng Xi was worried. “If we can’t catch Devon, can Lily hold on?”
Gu Peng comforted her. “Lily’s body can still take it. We will definitely catch Devon as soon as possible. I think they must have been protected by some family in the capital.”
The fourth brother, Gu Yu, nodded. “There are many families in the capital who want to replace the three great aristocratic families. It’s very likely that they took these two in..”
