Chapter 228: Chapter 31: Wuu Tiangang’s Probe

“Silan, how do you feel now?” Lin Feng asked softly.

Huang Shilan slowly opened her eyes and laboriously sat up, “I feel much better now, Lin Feng, thank you.”

Lin Feng also knew it was inconvenient to stay longer, so he said, “Silan, rest quietly for a few days, and your body should be able to recover. It’s late now, and I’ll be heading back.”

Huang Shilan said with a flushed face, “You should also go back and rest well.”

“Mm,” Lin Feng nodded and then walked out, closing the door behind Huang Shilan. After Lin Feng left, Huang Shilan lay back on the bed, covering her face with the blanket. Her cheeks felt burning hot, especially when she thought about the close contact with Lin Feng while he treated her wounds. Far from being angry, she seemed rather pleased. At this moment, where was the dignified City Lord of Moonfall City? She was completely behaving like a young girl.

From outside came the sound of the night watchman’s calls, four consecutive tolls, indicating the fourth watch had already arrived. Lin Feng took a deep breath; the deep night was now quiet and deserted.

As he walked toward his residence, passing through a shaded path, Lin Feng suddenly felt a chill envelop him.

“Who’s there? Come out!”

He looked coldly toward a corner.

“Brother Lin’s senses are truly keen. No wonder you could kill the Blood Robe Beast Tamer, a hero among young men!”

A voice followed.

Then, a man stepped out. It was none other than Wuu Tiangang.

Lin Feng had not expected that Wuu Tiangang would ambush him in the dead of night.

What does he want to do?

Does he suspect me?

Does he want to silence me?

But this place was the City Lord’s residence, and with just a loud shout from him, many guards could come rushing. Surely Wuu Tiangang would not dare to act rashly.

Thinking this, Lin Feng’s lips curved into a faint smile, “So it’s Vice City Lord Wuu. Are you here to enjoy the night view rather than sleeping at this late hour?”

Hearing Lin Feng’s bantering words, Wuu Tiangang’s mouth twitched violently, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

Indeed, as Lin Feng had thought, Wuu Tiangang was suspicious of him. However, Wuu Tiangang did not dare to make a move openly in the City Lord’s residence.

Of course, although suspicious, Wuu Tiangang could not confirm whether the person he had seen meeting with Demon Dao Expert Lii Daoxie the other day was Lin Feng.

Therefore, Wuu Tiangang wanted to probe Lin Feng.

…

“Of course, I’m not here to enjoy the scenery, but rather to say a few words to Brother Lin,” Wuu Tiangang said.

“Oh? What words?” Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

“You had better stay away from Silan, or else don’t blame me for not being polite,” Wuu Tiangang said coldly. His demeanor had swiftly shifted from seemingly friendly to icy, changing faster than flipping through a book.

“How did that come about?” Lin Feng squinted at Wuu Tiangang, not believing that this was the true reason for Wuu Tiangang’s visit. This man colluded with the Demon Dao and planned to destroy the entire True Martial Country; did he really care about Jiangg Shilan? This was utterly ridiculous. Clearly, he was using Jiangg Shilan as an excuse to test Lin Feng.

Wuu Tiangang said, “My Wuu Family and the Huang Family have been friends for generations. Silan and I grew up together like childhood sweethearts, and Marshal Huang intends to betroth Silan to me. And you, you went to see Silan just now; can discussing affairs really take four or five hours? It would be better if you did not contact Silan too frequently in the future. If you anger me, there won’t be any good consequences.”

Lin Feng replied indifferently, “So that’s the matter. I find it quite amusing, seems like you have nothing to do with Silan, yet you come to me babbling. Is it because you are bored out of your mind?”

“Should I take that as a provocation?” Wuu Tiangang looked coldly at Lin Feng.

“I am merely stating a fact. As for Silan, I can assure you, she has absolutely no interest in you. You better give up on that idea,” Lin Feng quipped.

“Boy, do you really think you’re something special? You dare to speak to me with that tone? If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll really believe you can be so bold in front of me?”

Wuu Tiangang scoffed, took a step forward, and threw a punch straight at Lin Feng.

“Boom!” A terrifying aura erupted.

Lin Feng was taken aback. Wuu Tiangang was powerful, perhaps even stronger than the Black Robe Poison Master.

“Wuu Tiangang, what are you doing?”

Just then, a sharp reprimand rang out.

Having changed into a new outfit, Huang Shilan, hearing the commotion, stepped outside and saw Wuu Tiangang blocking Lin Feng and about to attack him. Her pretty face instantly soured.

Although the Wuu Family and the Huang Family were long-time friends, Huang Shilan actually didn’t have much fondness for Wuu Tiangang. She always felt his personality was very gloomy; he would keep anything in his heart instead of speaking it out.

“Silan!”

Seeing Huang Shilan, Wuu Tiangang frowned slightly and halted his punch.

“What’s going on here?”

A group of patrolling soldiers rushed over, clearly having noticed the commotion.

“City Lord!” The lead Guard Commander hurriedly saluted.

“It’s nothing. You all may leave,” Huang Shilan gestured with her hand.

“Yes.” The Guard Commander led his men away.

“Silan, don’t be fooled by this kid’s sweet talk,” Wuu Tiangang said.

Huang Shilan’s face turned cold as she spoke, “Vice City Lord Wuu, you’re meddling too much. It’s already late, shouldn’t you take your leave?”

“Hmph,” Wuu Tiangang left with a flick of his sleeve.

Lin Feng didn’t linger either, exchanging a few words with Huang Shilan before leaving as well.

“Damn it, I was just about to probe whether Lin Feng was the person who overheard my conversation with Lii Daoxie the other day, and Huang Shilan ruined it. Wretched woman, just you wait, on the day the city falls, I’ll make you my slave. Let’s see if you keep that haughty attitude then.”

Wuu Tiangang’s eyes were filled with a sinister gleam.
