“No. Impossible. Li Feng could not be that stupid. How could he possibly kill Li Wu?” Uncle Ning shook his head and said. Unless Li Feng’s head had been kicked by a donkey, he would never kill Li Wu.
“Li Feng might not do it, but others certainly could.” A sinister smile flashed across Song Zhiyuan’s face. Originally, he had captured Li Wu only to complete the task Li Feng had given him. But while escorting Li Wu to Tianya Pavilion, Song Zhiyuan thought of a way to scheme against Li Feng.
Li Wu was Li Feng’s rival. If Li Wu died during their confrontation, it would have little to do with Li Feng. But if Li Wu died suddenly after falling into Li Feng’s hands, then Li Feng would be in deep trouble.
He, Song Zhiyuan, was Li Feng’s ally, not his subordinate. This time, Li Feng’s strength had shown itself to be far too powerful. Even he felt a sense of shock and fear in his heart. Therefore, he did not want Li Feng to grow even stronger. Just as Li Wu had told him before, if Li Feng’s power reached a certain level, he would no longer need this ally and would simply kick him aside. In that case, Song Zhiyuan would gain nothing.
Although this was only a guess, he had to guard against it. So while transporting Li Wu to Tianya Pavilion, Song Zhiyuan came up with this plan.
Uncle Ning was stunned at first, then quickly understood the reason. His expression changed, and he looked at Song Zhiyuan with some surprise. At that moment, Song Zhiyuan seemed so unfamiliar in his eyes.
But soon, Uncle Ning felt great joy in his heart. Although Song Zhiyuan’s change made him uncomfortable, if Song Zhiyuan wanted to become the family heir, he should have this kind of cunning.
Moreover, setting aside the matter of Song Zhiyuan helping Li Feng, capturing Li Wu and handing him over to Li Feng was absolutely a brilliant move.
However…
Uncle Ning said in a deep voice, “Young master, your idea is good, but if Li Feng releases Li Wu, your plan will be useless.”
“Uncle Ning, do you think Li Feng will release Li Wu?” Song Zhiyuan sneered and said, “If it were someone else, they might humiliate Li Wu severely and then let him go. Although that would likely enrage Li Wu, it would avoid the trouble of Li Wu dying in their hands. But Li Feng? He is arrogant, extremely powerful, and ruthless towards his enemies. Li Wu is both his rival and his enemy. He will not let Li Wu go so easily.”
Uncle Ning shook his head. From his understanding of Li Feng, Li Feng would absolutely not let Li Wu go. But what did Song Zhiyuan mean by saying that if Li Wu died now?
Could it be…
Uncle Ning’s expression changed. He said in a deep voice, “Young master, did you secretly do something to Li Wu?”
“Uncle Ning, do you think I would do that? Li Feng is not an idiot. If I did something like that, Li Feng could easily trace it back to me. That would bring me no benefit.” Song Zhiyuan shook his head and said. He wanted to scheme against Li Feng, but he absolutely could not let Li Feng realise he was being schemed against.
“Then what does young master mean…” Uncle Ning asked in a deep voice.
“I am using an open scheme. The moment I handed Li Wu over to Li Feng, this plan began. I will not touch Li Wu myself, but others might.” Song Zhiyuan gave a sinister smile.
“Others?”
“Uncle Ning, you should understand what kind of impact it would have on Li Feng if Li Wu, who is now in Li Feng’s hands, suddenly died. If you can think of it, others can think of it too. Those who want to deal with Li Feng, do you think they will not act against Li Wu?” Song Zhiyuan said with a sinister smile.
“Young master truly has deep foresight.” A sharp gleam flashed in Uncle Ning’s eyes. He sighed inwardly at how much Song Zhiyuan had changed. The old Song Zhiyuan would never have thought of such an open scheme.
“More importantly, I am acting exactly according to Li Feng’s instructions. Whether it succeeds or fails, Li Feng will never suspect that this matter is connected to me. Even if he has some doubts, the impact on me will not be great.” Song Zhiyuan smiled and said.
“Young master is right.” Uncle Ning nodded, then brought the conversation back to the original topic. “However, young master, this time you helped Li Feng. Do you realise how big an impact this will have on you? It is very disadvantageous for your fight to become the family heir.”
“Uncle Ning, have you not noticed? Even without me last night, Xue Ying and the others would not have killed Li Feng. At most, they would have failed to capture Li Wu. Now Li Feng’s strength is terrifying. Even you, Uncle Ning, may not be his match.” Song Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
Uncle Ning fell silent. From last night’s intelligence and Song Zhiyuan’s words, he already knew that Li Feng’s strength had reached a horrifying level.
Song Zhiyuan looked at Uncle Ning and said meaningfully, “Uncle Ning, did you not tell me before that one should not be inconsistent in what they do? Many people already know that I have allied with Li Feng. If I do not help Li Feng at this time, how will others see me? Do you think that has no impact on my competition for the family heir position?”
“This…” Uncle Ning was stunned.
“Uncle Ning, I know you want me to cut ties with Li Feng and gain the support of the Hongmen. But do you think that even if I cut ties with Li Feng, the Hongmen people will support me? Rather than ending up with no support from Hongmen, it is better to follow Li Feng from the beginning. The stronger Li Feng becomes, the greater the help he can give me.” Song Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
“It seems young master has already made up his mind.” Uncle Ning sighed and said.
“Yes, I have decided. No matter what, I will ally with Li Feng to the end. I can cause some trouble for Li Feng in secret, but I will absolutely not break off my relationship with him.” Song Zhiyuan said in a deep voice. There was another important reason for his decision, and that was Miao Xingyun. Others might not know Miao Xingyun’s abilities, but he, Song Zhiyuan, knew them very clearly. Since Miao Xingyun said that following Li Feng would give him a chance to become the family heir, then he could only follow Li Feng.
Uncle Ning nodded helplessly. Originally, he had been very optimistic about Li Feng, but Li Feng was too bold and had offended too many people. This made him change his view of Li Feng and want Song Zhiyuan to distance himself from Li Feng. Now it seemed that he himself had been indulging in wishful thinking.
Now that Song Zhiyuan was following such a monstrous genius like Li Feng, he would either reach the peak of life or fall into the eighteenth level of hell. Fortune and misfortune were impossible to predict.
“Besides, Uncle Ning, although we may not get the support of Hongmen, we can gain the support of the Situ family from Hongmen.” A sharp gleam flashed in Song Zhiyuan’s eyes.
“Young master means Situ Qiang?” Uncle Ning reacted immediately.
“Yes. Now Situ Qiang is in Li Feng’s hands. We can start from Situ Qiang and gain the support of the Situ family.” Song Zhiyuan nodded.
“Good, very good. As long as young master can gain the support of the Situ family, your chances of becoming the family heir will be much greater.” Uncle Ning’s eyes shone with excitement.
“However, to handle this matter well, we must plan it carefully. Uncle Ning, I will leave this matter to you.” Song Zhiyuan’s lips curved into a smile. He knew Uncle Ning had a special fondness for Hongmen, so handing this matter to him was the best choice.
“Young master, rest assured. I will make all the arrangements properly.” Uncle Ning said in a deep voice.
Tianya Pavilion.
Li Feng put down his phone, his expression extremely interesting.
After coming to this world, he had always avoided contact with the original body’s relatives, especially the parents. So this was the first time he had spoken to Mu Chunfeng on the phone since arriving in this world.
In his previous life, he had almost no family. Although he had been surrounded by beautiful women, it was only mutual benefit, and he had never received care from loved ones.
So now, hearing Mu Chunfeng’s concerned words, Li Feng did not know how to describe his feelings. But this feeling was very good. He liked it very much.
Thinking of this, Li Feng suddenly felt a boom in his mind, as if some shackle had been opened, making him feel refreshed and clear.
“So until now, the two souls have truly merged into one.” Li Feng understood something, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, Li Feng secretly felt fortunate. If not for Mu Chunfeng’s call today, if he had continued avoiding contact with Li Chuanwei and Mu Chunfeng, and if this issue had not been resolved by the time he broke through to the Innate Realm, it might have become his heart demon.
Then, Li Feng thought about what Mu Chunfeng had told him. She had spoken on the phone for nearly half an hour, saying many things, but what Li Feng cared about most was the matter concerning Li Wu.
It was expected that Li Xiangyang would save Li Wu, but Mu Chunfeng told him that someone would try to kill Li Wu. This shocked him greatly. However, considering the reason Mu Chunfeng gave, Li Feng understood that this was not impossible.
Killing Li Wu and framing him was the best way to deal with him. If someone used this method against him, it would truly be big trouble.
“It seems Li Wu really is a time bomb. Now that he has fallen into my hands, I cannot let him die.” Li Feng frowned, feeling a little irritated in his heart.
Although Tianya Pavilion was his main base, it was not an impenetrable fortress. Even with Lu Xiong and Lu Shuang in Tianya Pavilion, they might not be able to protect Li Wu. Not to mention others, if someone like Zhu Yuanyang brought a rocket launcher to bombard Tianya Pavilion, everyone inside would die.
Now he had not yet decided how to handle Li Wu, so he only wanted to keep him locked up in Tianya Pavilion. But he never expected that capturing Li Wu would bring so much trouble. He could neither kill him nor fail to protect his safety. What kind of logic was this?
But to release Li Wu at this moment, Li Feng felt extremely unwilling. After finally capturing Li Wu, how could he let him go so easily? If he wanted to release Li Wu, at the very least he should make Li Xiangyang bleed heavily once.
“I want to see who has the guts to come and kill Li Wu.” A cold light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Then he muttered to himself, “But before that, I should first go and see Li Zhengxiang. Perhaps I can get some information I want from Li Zhengxiang’s mouth.”
