Your Human Emperor Banner is already emitting evil spirits, and you're still pretending to be a

"Uncle, uncle..."

It was a very hot September, and Xu Feng was lying under the grape vines to cool off.

Suddenly, I heard a hurried voice coming from afar, and I couldn't help but open my eyes and look forward.

Then I saw a thin and small figure approaching quickly, running out of breath.

"Dong'er, what's wrong?"

The little maid ran so hard that her face turned red and beads of sweat hung on her forehead.

Without even bothering to wipe it, he hurriedly reported the situation to Xu Feng: "Sir, something terrible has happened. The young lady, the young lady has just been taken away by that charlatan named Zuo Jincheng!"

Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, as if he was so shocked by the news that he was speechless.

Dong'er looked even more anxious than he was, chattering non-stop, "Sir, please go and stop them! A lot of people at the door just saw the young lady get on that pervert's carriage. There's still time to get out!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng lay back on the recliner with an expressionless face, staring at the lush green leaves above his head, making it impossible to see his emotions.

He said lightly, "Dong'er, let me ask you something: what is the identity of your young lady?"

The little maid was stunned. She didn't understand why her son-in-law was still asking such a well-known question at this time.

Afraid of irritating Xu Feng, he answered cautiously: "Hmm... the legitimate daughter of the Linglong Feng family?"

"anything else?"

"The next generation heir of the Feng family and Princess Changle's playmate?"

Xu Feng asked again, "What about Zuo Jincheng's identity?"

"The Young Master of Jianfeng Mountain, a seventh-rank martial artist, one of the leading figures of the younger generation in the martial arts world..."

"Then what is my status as your son-in-law?"

Dong'er was stunned and speechless, but finally she understood what he meant.

He can't afford to offend his own wife, nor can he afford to offend the person he's cheating with, so he can only hide here!

The little maidservant immediately felt aggrieved, fearing that her uncle would misunderstand her and come to humiliate him, so she apologized, "Uncle, I'm sorry."

Xu Feng didn't care and pinched her cheek with a smile.

"You and I are both living under someone else's roof, so let's not dwell on these trivial matters. Anyway, this isn't the first time Feng Yuzhi has gone out to meet her lover, Zuo."

Feng Yuzhi is his current wife.

The eldest daughter of the Linglongfeng family.

Half a year ago, due to an accident, Xu Feng traveled to this ancient dynasty that had never been heard of in history books, and became the son-in-law of the Feng family.

Through the memories of his previous life, he learned that Feng Yuzhi and he did not know each other before they got married.

Feng Yuzhi is the eldest daughter of the Feng family, one of the three major imperial merchant families of the Dashun Dynasty. Her ancestors once married a princess.

Even now, it maintains close ties with the royal family and can be said to be a truly top-tier wealthy family.

And he, Xu Feng, was just a son of a fallen official family.

There had been no one holding official positions in the court for a long time, and by the time his father's generation came around, the family had fallen to the point of making a living by teaching in the countryside.

It was a coincidence that I was able to climb into the Feng family.

Last year, he was sent to Gusu by his father to take part in the Autumn Examination and seek the title of Juren. Because his ancestor had saved the life of the patriarch of the Feng family, his father took him to pay a visit to him and get some benefits.

Who would have thought that the Feng family was looking for a son-in-law at that time, and Xu Feng was not only handsome and elegant, but also a scholar who passed the imperial examination.

In addition to the friendship between the ancestors of both parties, the grandmother of the Feng family finally fell in love with him at first sight.

Xu Feng's father naturally had no objection to the marriage with the Feng family, so the two sides got married quickly.

It was only after the marriage that Xu Feng learned that his wife had only married him out of pressure from the situation, and that she actually already had someone in her heart.

Since the Feng family of this generation only has two daughters, Feng Yuzhi and Feng Yunian, the huge family business needs to be inherited and managed by family members.

Therefore, the eldest daughter Feng Yuzhi was chosen as the heir and was not allowed to marry out. Feng Yumian, as the younger sister, would be sent to marry in the future.

Otherwise, Xu Feng would never have come across such enormous wealth!

It was only after getting married that Xu Feng realized that his situation in the Feng family was far from what he had imagined.

First, Feng Yuzhi was unable to marry her brother Zuo Jincheng, whom she had been thinking about for more than ten years, so she vented all her resentment on Xu Feng.

From not entering the bridal chamber on the wedding day to her cold words and unfriendly expressions later on, she almost made it clear to the servants in the mansion that as the eldest daughter of the Feng family, she did not like this husband who married into the family.

In order to please their master, the servants of Feng Mansion ignored the son-in-law and even often made fun of him in secret.

After all, Feng Yuzhi often went out to meet with Zuo Jincheng openly, so who knows if anything happened.

Only Dong'er has always maintained her enthusiasm for him.

In addition, if Feng Yuzhi is the second person who hates Xu Feng the most in the Feng Mansion, then the one who hates him the most is his sister-in-law Feng Yumian.

This spoiled and vicious girl often spoke ill of her brother-in-law, not knowing whether she felt sorry for her sister marrying such a poor scholar or was worried that he would covet the Feng family's property.

The most serious incident was at the Poetry and Lantern Festival half a year ago. This girl ordered someone to kick Xu Feng off the boat, resulting in his death.

This was taken advantage of by the present Xu Feng who had traveled through time.

Based on the above reasons, Xu Feng naturally couldn't like the Feng family.

Even if Feng Yuzhi went out to meet her lover in a high-profile manner, he still didn't care, but he felt a little sorry for her original self.

Not only is he marrying into the family, but he even cheated on his wife without hiding from others!

Xu Feng sighed and looked at the little maid beside him who looked lonely.

He smiled and said, "Dong'er, don't tell me about this kind of thing in the future. If your young lady knew, she would definitely not forgive you."

Dong'er doesn't care much about this.

Instead, he turned his head and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Sir, why don't you run away from home for once? If the young lady knew about this, she would definitely be extremely anxious and would definitely not go to meet with Zuo Jincheng in secret from now on!"

Xu Feng burst out laughing.

runaway?

I'm afraid those two bitches Feng Yuzhi and Feng Yumian are just waiting for him to do this so they can divorce him openly.

He doesn't want to do such a stupid thing!

Not to mention that he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Feng family, just the fact that he is the Feng family's cowardly son-in-law is enough for him to have reasons not to do so.

You know, his other identity now is a most wanted criminal by the court!

This story has to start from before he traveled through time...

When he encountered the time travel, he was traveling in Mount Tai and met an old Taoist priest who tried to sell him the flags in his hand.

The guy talked nonsense, saying that the flag in his hand was called the Human Emperor Banner, which could collect the souls of evildoers and use them for his own purposes.

Of course Xu Feng didn't believe it. Not to mention why the function of the Human Emperor Banner was to reap human souls, he himself had never heard of a treasure called the Human Emperor Banner in history.

However, the old Taoist priest kept pestering him and insisted that he touch it to test the authenticity of the material. It was definitely an antique.

Xu Feng had no choice but to pretend to appreciate it, but he never expected that this touch would send him through time and space!

When he woke up, he had become the son-in-law of the Feng family, and the Human Emperor Banner had turned into a tattoo on his back.

As long as the mind is willing, it can be summoned.

But its effect is not as domineering as the Human Emperor Banner in fantasy novels.

First of all, it can only absorb the souls of evil people, and they have to be beaten to death before it can absorb them.

Secondly, the absorbed soul does not possess any mysterious abilities, but can only act like a ghost.

Whatever abilities you have in life, you will have after death.

The only difference might be the way it appears like a ghost and looks more scary.

Apart from this, the only direct benefit that this Human Emperor Banner brings to Xu Feng is probably that after absorbing a person's soul, he can obtain all of the other person's abilities and memories.

Therefore, after he inherited all the memories of his original body, the first thing he did was to poison to death the Feng family guard who was instructed by Feng Yumian to push him off the boat.

After transforming it into a ghost, it inherits all of the other party's martial arts skills and memories.

And that night, he transformed from a weak scholar into a martial artist of some note.

Afterwards, Xu Feng often went out to explore the city of Gusu, searching for the whereabouts of evildoers, and then killed them at a time when no one knew about it and put them into the Human Emperor Banner.

As he executed more and more evil people, his skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his killing spree was eventually noticed by the government and the Six Gates.

Soon he became a wanted criminal known throughout the city of Suzhou.

Because of his brutal and sophisticated methods, his actions were quite secretive and he never showed his face in public.

Because of this, he was nicknamed "Ghost-faced Man"!

It was also from that time that Xu Fengcai finally decided to continue playing the role of the cowardly son-in-law of the Feng family in order to cover up his identity as the Ghost-Faced Man.

Not for anything else, just to survive and grow until the day when I become invincible.

You know, although there are no truly extraordinary means in this world, some top masters in the martial arts world and the court are able to reach the level of mastering martial arts.

There is always a mountain higher than the other!

However, only he himself knows the above information, and his current identity is still the son-in-law of the Linglongfeng family.

Therefore, when faced with Dong'er's idea of ​​running away from home, he could only smile bitterly.

"Don't be silly, Dong'er. It's okay if I run away from home, but if I get caught and brought back, wouldn't that be an even bigger joke?"

"Okay then~" The little maid felt a little disappointed because she couldn't help her brother-in-law.

Fortunately, I found that he didn't seem to have any intention of committing suicide, so I skipped away.

Xu Feng was left alone under the grapevines in this side courtyard, sleeping until the lights came on at night.

After making sure that no one would come to his yard again, he went back to the inner room and changed into a black suit.

Taking advantage of the night and his lightness skills, he quietly left the huge Feng family mansion.
