Although he had some doubts in his heart, Sakonjo still shamelessly accepted the credit.

In his opinion, it was most likely that Hongfeng Mountain sent a batch of food out of respect for Jianfeng Mountain. Otherwise, there was no other explanation.

"As long as the problem can be solved, it's fine. Old man, you're too polite. Sooner or later, we'll all be a family. Isn't it my duty to do this?"

Feng Yuzhi blushed, but did not refute this statement.

Compared to Zuo Jincheng, Xu Feng really didn't interest her at all. Only a peerless man like Zuo Jincheng was qualified to be her husband.

The two of them returned to the Feng family together, and Old Master Feng specially arranged for a banquet to entertain Zuo Jincheng.

"My dear nephew, you have helped the Feng family a lot this time. I don't know how to thank you."

Facing Mr. Feng's enthusiasm, Zuo Jincheng remained very calm.

"This is what I should do. Don't take it to heart. We will all be one family sooner or later. Let's not talk about two sides."

Old Master Feng understood what he meant, chuckled and said no more.

Feng Yumian on the side sneered.

"Don't flatter yourself. These grains were clearly borrowed by my brother-in-law. Besides, we are not family at all. I wish you were as far away from me as possible."

Xu Feng also came to the scene to watch the excitement. He really didn't expect that Zuo Jincheng would dare to take on such a big thing.

If it gets exposed, wouldn't that mean he'll be the one to take the blame?

"Shut up, the truth is right in front of you. Only a fool like you would believe Xu Feng's lies."

Old Master Feng firmly believed that these grains were borrowed from Zuo Jincheng.

There is no need to say more about Feng Yuzhi.

How could she let the man she loved be wronged in front of her?

"You're so arrogant! It's fine if you can fool a child, but you don't really think we'll believe your lies, do you?"

Seeing that no one was willing to believe her and her brother-in-law, Feng Yumian stamped her feet anxiously. At this moment, another servant came to report that there was another guest outside.

The grain owed to the court has been repaid, so the person who comes to visit at this time must not be a bad person.

Old Master Feng asked someone to invite the guests in. A familiar woman in red was brought in. Seeing this, Xu Feng quickly stepped back a few steps.

He was afraid that the other party would recognize him, but then he changed his mind and stopped worrying. After all, he was wearing a mask when he went up the mountain, so no one would recognize his true face.

"Master Feng, I've long heard of your name. My name is Honglian, and I'm responsible for escorting this batch of grain. I was delayed a little earlier, so I'm late."

Apart from Xu Feng, Zuo Jincheng was even more restless at this moment, his legs trembling, and he almost wanted to leave first.

How could he not recognize that this was the leader of Hongfeng Mountain, the famous Honglian Sword? Zuo Jincheng never expected that Honglian would come here in person. This should be just a trivial matter for her.

You have to know that when he brought people up the mountain to borrow food, he was driven down the mountain by her men before he even saw Honglian.

"So you are a master from Red Maple Mountain. Please take a seat. I have a lot of food. It can be regarded as a solution to my urgent need."

Seeing the table full of delicious food, Honglian did not hesitate to sit down in the main seat. At the same time, she turned her head and set her eyes on Xu Feng.

It was obvious that she had recognized Xu Feng as the ghost-faced man who went up the mountain last night. His figure was exactly the same, and he could hide it from others but not from her.

The two looked at each other and Xu Feng quickly lowered his head, his heart in his throat. He also understood that the other party recognized him.

Fortunately, Honglian did not expose him, which made him feel relieved. He was not yet ready to keep his identity.

"Old man, since they are masters from Red Maple Mountain, you should entertain them first. I suddenly remembered that I need to go back to the sect today. It's getting late, so I have to leave early."

Zuo Kuncheng didn't dare to stay any longer. He planned to find an excuse to leave, but before he could stand up, a slender hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Mr. Zuo, why are you so anxious? Don't you want to give me this face?"

Honglian's sudden words put Zuo Kuncheng in a dilemma. He did not dare to disobey Honglian's wishes. The other party's strength was far superior to his, and he could send him to see the King of Hell with just one slap.

After thinking for a moment, he still didn't dare to resist and sat down obediently.

"Since it's Miss Honglian who invited me, I can't refuse this honor. Come, let me toast you a glass."

Zuo Jincheng raised his wine glass to toast, but Honglian ignored him and picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

This made Zuo Jincheng very embarrassed. He didn't know whether to put the wine glass down or not, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Everyone vaguely realized that something was wrong. The people from Zuojincheng and Hongfengshan did not seem to be as familiar with each other as they had imagined.

"Miss Honglian, has this old man or my nephew Zuo done anything to offend you?"

It still took Mr. Feng to smooth things over.

Honglian just chuckled and explained the reason.

"I just can't stand some scoundrels who are trying to take advantage of others. I, Hongfeng Mountain, have nothing to do with this person. The man with a ghost mask came to borrow food last night. Hongfeng Mountain gave him face. What does it have to do with Zuo Jincheng?"

"But he's wearing a dark mask that looks like Yama?"

When Feng Yumian heard that the person who borrowed grain was wearing a ghost mask, her eyes lit up.

"Exactly!"

"It's the Ghost-Faced Man. Why would the Ghost-Faced Man help us?"

After asking this question, Feng Yumian involuntarily turned her head to look at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng didn't dare to answer, for fear of his identity being exposed, so he could only lower his head and pretend to know nothing.

"Nephew Zuo, this..."

Old Master Feng couldn't quite believe it. He had heard a little about the name of the Ghost-Faced Man after returning to Gusu, but he had never expected it to be related to his family.

Feng Yuzhi also had doubts at this moment and looked at Zuo Jincheng in disbelief. She knew very well the relationship between Zuo Jincheng and the ghost-faced man. The two should not be involved in any way.

Sakonjo forced a smile and gave a very far-fetched explanation.

"You may not know, but I was the one who sent the Ghost-Faced Man up the mountain. A few days ago, I had another fight with him, and he was defeated by me. In order to save his life, he agreed to work for me. I haven't had time to tell you about this yet."

This explanation sounds very reliable, but it can only fool someone like Old Man Feng who is not aware of the situation. Feng Yumian doesn't believe a word of it.

Even Feng Yuzhi had a look of doubt on his face. According to Zuo Jincheng's character, the Ghost-Faced Man had injured so many people in Jianfeng Mountain, so it was neither reasonable nor moral that he should be let go.

How could he be accepted as a subordinate so casually?

The excuse was good, but he overlooked one thing: Honglian would not stand on his side and speak for him.

All I heard was Honglian chuckle and mocked him on the spot.

"Haha, so you think Sakonjo's reputation is so great that even I have to give you this respect?"
