Chapter 766 - 766: Must Be Resolved

Seeing Lv Ziming silent, Xiao Feng suggested, "If you ask me, instead of trusting favors that may never come around, let alone uncertain when someone can repay, it's better to have it plainly priced, real money is more reliable."

"You mean..."

"Isn't it obvious?" Xiao Feng said frustratedly, "Talk with Ma Digua, like how much for hurting me, how much for seriously injuring me, how much for capturing me alive."

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Lv Ziming hesitated, "We're all friends, doing this kind of hurts the relationship."

Xiao Feng shrugged, "That's not my issue. Anyway, I find favors as a rather magical and elusive thing, especially with wealthy families like the Ma Family."

After speaking, as if he recalled something, he asked again, "Are you married?"

Lv Ziming was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xiao Feng's question, but he shook his head and replied, "No, I have lots of enemies. If one day I get thrown off Jiangxin Bridge, that's my own fault,

but if it involves my wife and children, that's a sin."

"Then perfect, join me," Xiao Feng gleefully said, "Just happens I'm short-handed right now, if you come over, at least you won't have to worry about enemies seeking revenge."

"Join you?" Lv Ziming eyed Xiao Feng doubtfully.

Xiao Feng smiled, "Did Ma Digua not tell you who I am?"

"No."

"My name is Xiao Feng, known as the world's number one 'Dipper guest', I was the one who brought down Shen Group and Duan Guotai and his son."

"You're Xiao Feng?!" Lv Ziming exclaimed in disbelief.

Xiao Feng modestly said, "You heard of me?"

"Of course I've heard of you!" Lv Ziming said excitedly, "The major events in Jiangcheng these past few months all revolve around you, how could I not have heard!"

Xiao Feng feigned humility, "Oh, my bad name has spread far and wide, many people say I'm a troublemaker.

Damn!

They actually compared me to a stick!"

"..." Lv Ziming.

So according to your logic, you're the stick and everyone else is the trouble, right?

Clearing his throat twice, Lv Ziming said, "To be honest, this metaphor is actually quite vivid."

"Hm?" Xiao Feng frowned slightly.

This guy seems not to know how to talk.

I said it myself as self-deprecation, you echo my words and that's like you're insulting.

Lv Ziming explained, "If you compare Jiangcheng to a pool of old filth, then your actions in these months are equivalent to stirring the filth.

Making the air that was barely passable suddenly become unbearably foul.

From this perspective, calling you a troublemaker isn't unjust."

"..." Xiao Feng.

"If I join you, what can you offer?" Lv Ziming brought up the serious matter.

He was impressed with Xiao Feng's abilities but wasn't about to bow just upon hearing his name.

Being realistic never hurts.

Xiao Feng smiled, "Besides not having to worry about enemies chasing, I can also enhance your skills to another level, no need to even mention money, that's fundamental.

Of course, it depends on your capability, the more you accomplish for me, the more benefits you get."

"That's for sure." Lv Ziming agreed, nodding, appreciating Xiao Feng's words.

In fact, if Xiao Feng had boasted and made a bunch of promises, he might have suspected he was being fooled.

But as said so, he really started to believe it.

"You mentioned just now about enhancing my skills to another level, how should I trust you?" Lv Ziming asked.

Xiao Feng glanced around, beckoned, "Follow me."

Lv Ziming followed without hesitation.

Judging from the opponent's various actions earlier, it was clear he didn't intend to fight, hence no need to worry about being ambushed in a secluded spot.

Not far ahead, Xiao Feng stopped under a streetlight, checked there were no cameras around, took out Thunder Pattern Steel, and gently touched it.

"Zzz..."

The streetlight flickered twice, then with a "pop," exploded.

The streetlight's pole had many black marks, which looked like it was struck by lightning or caused by unstable voltage leading to short circuit.

"Sss..."

Lv Ziming inhaled sharply, feeling fortunate that he didn't overreach by taking that object resembling a Water Dipper during their first encounter.

"Now, do you understand why I am the world's number one 'Dipper guest'?" Xiao Feng said, somewhat proudly.

"..." Lv Ziming.

Anyway, Xiao Feng's stunt indeed surprised him, dispelling half of his doubts.

However, he still had a question he couldn't figure out...

"With such an impressive weapon, and your skills aren't weak either, why did you refuse to fight me head-on all along?"

Xiao Feng remained calm, "Because I've been poisoned, before the poison's cured, I can't engage in fierce combat with others."

"You're openly telling me this, aren't you afraid I'll use it against you?" Lv Ziming chuckled.

Xiao Feng nonchalantly said, "First, if you truly intend to do so, there's no need to say it aloud.

Second, you're completely welcome to try."

"No more questions." Lv Ziming cupped his hands, "Boss, your orders!"

Xiao Feng smiled with satisfaction, "You're good, got vision."

"..." Lv Ziming.

Who on earth are you complimenting here?

Fuming for a moment, Lv Ziming asked, "Boss, anything you need me to do?"

"For now, your only task is to negotiate with Ma Digua, try to swindle the money first, then you'll take the lion's share, I only ask for sixty percent."

"That's too much, I..."

Halfway, Lv Ziming found himself unable to finish.

Asking for sixty percent, can this still be called taking the lion's share?

Xiao Feng patted Lv Ziming's shoulder, his expression serious, "Old Lv, I guarantee this will be the wisest decision you've ever made in your life!"

Lv Ziming smiled but remained silent.

However, he hadn't realized at this moment, that what Xiao Feng said was indeed true.

It wasn't until recalling in his old age that he couldn't forget Xiao Feng's words tonight.

...

After bidding farewell to Lv Ziming, Xiao Feng called Lone Wolf, instructing him to lead eighteen Martial Monks and Xue Nuofu to immediately set off, to meet him at the Bai Family.

According to the plan, it should be two days later to resolve the Seven Evils Palm matter at the Bai Family.

But after tonight's chase game with Lv Ziming, Xiao Feng felt this matter had reached a stage where it must be resolved.

If not for the nonsense Seven Evils Palm, how could he be chased all around by a fifty-year-old Lv Ziming?

Fortunately, Lv Ziming wasn't strong, encountering the instructors from Devil's Concentration Camp could've rendered tonight a disaster.

The feeling of carrying a timed bomb was so unsettling that Xiao Feng felt he couldn't sleep in peace, thus had to dismantle it soon!

Meanwhile, at the Bai Family.

Du Zhixiang was enjoying himself in the casino.

Zheng Wei was in that damp, dark, and moldy-smelling room, striving hard for the revival of Celestial Defect Sect!
