Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Chong Feng's face darkened completely.

He's said so much, but now Xu Yao just wants money?

Seeing that Chongfeng's expression was a bit off, Xu Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Chongfeng warily, saying, "What, trying to renege on your promise? Let me tell you, we had an agreement!"

Chongfeng's face darkened further, and he said, "I've already prepared it for you. As long as Fengyao is alright, I will give you the money!"

After saying that, Chongfeng stood up to go upstairs, but Xu Yao quickly stood up and blocked Chongfeng's way.

He looked at Chongfeng and chuckled twice, saying, "I was just joking with you, why are you angry?"

"I don't know much about the Shadow Tower, and I'm not one of them, so I'm not qualified to comment on it. However, I do acknowledge you as a friend."

Friend, him?

Chongfeng frowned, his thoughts unreadable.

He had never had any friends, and no one wanted to be his friend. Now Xu Yao actually said he wanted to be his friend.

Because of what?

What did he draw?

Seeing that Chongfeng remained silent, Xu Yao continued, "I don't need the ten thousand taels of gold, but could you find me a talisman master so I can learn some talismans?"

Xu Yao's expression turned serious because he still had to return to the Blood Demon Hall, which was very dangerous.

Blood Demon is different from Chongfeng. Once he's no longer of any use, Blood Demon will really kill him.

How could he not prepare for both possibilities?

He must be proficient in both elixirs and talismans.

This provides an extra way to save one's life.

Chongfeng knew what Xu Yao was after. He nodded and said, "If you don't want to go back to the Blood Demon Hall, I can help you. Refining those living dead is not a good thing."

Once those undead emerge, even more people will be harmed.

Those prestigious sects would absolutely not allow it, and Xu Yao would likely only have one path left: death.

Xu Yao understood Chong Feng's meaning. He took a deep breath and remained silent, his face full of helplessness.

Some things are beyond his control.

Chengfeng is a member of the Blood Demon Hall, and he uses those herbs, but it will take time. The Blood Demon can also turn those people into living dead.

That will be truly terrifying.

It would be better if he did the research himself; maybe he could prevent these things from happening.

But it's not the right time to say that yet.

Xu Yao shook his head, looked at Chong Feng and smiled.

"No need, I know what I'm doing. I'll leave this to you. It would be best if you could find it by tomorrow, because I don't have much time."

Chongfeng brought him here for only two days, and tomorrow is the last day, so he only has one day left!

One day is fine, even if I only learn the basics, I can always go back and study it slowly.

Seeing that Xu Yao had already made up his mind, Chongfeng ultimately swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Everyone has their own things to do, and that's a decision Xu Yao made that he can't change. He, too, has his own things to do.

but……

Chongfeng looked at Xu Yao speechlessly.

"You think you can learn incantations in just one day? Are you kidding me?"

Talismans are very difficult to learn, as they require a lot of mental energy. If you are not careful, the entire talisman may be ruined.

Drawing a good talisman can take months or even years.

Is this really not a joke? Just this one day?

Xu Yao rolled his eyes and walked towards his room, waving his hand helplessly, "Do you think I wanted to?"

"I'll practice slowly when I get back. Thank you for this!"

After saying that, Xu Yao went back to his room.

The next day, before Xu Yao woke up, Chen Feng and Cheng Feng went directly to Xu Yao's room. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Yao lying on the bed.

It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back.

Seeing the two of them, Xu Yao felt helpless and said impatiently, "What are you doing? Do you even know what time it is?"

He did something really important yesterday, can't we let him sleep a little longer?

Chen Feng didn't care. He walked to a chair and sat down, staring at Xu Yao with wide, gossipy eyes.

"Kid, what did they ask you to do yesterday? Did they give you the ten thousand or twenty thousand taels of gold?"

Chengfeng still had a cold expression, staring at him with her eyes, clearly also wanting to know what happened yesterday.

Seeing Chengfeng like this, Xu Yao really had the urge to leave him in the Shadow Tower.

When they all stand together with an icy expression, it looks better.

Xu Yao did not respond and got up to go back to bed to continue sleeping.

Just as Chen Feng was about to stop him, a series of footsteps sounded, and then Chong Tu walked to the door and knocked on it.

Xu Yao turned his head to look behind him, and Chong Tu nodded to him, saying, "Master Xu, Feng Yao has woken up now. Would you like to go and check on her?"

Why are they all disturbing his sleep?

Never mind, business is more important; after all, he still has to learn about talismans today.

Xu Yao hummed in agreement, then turned and walked out. Chen Feng stood up to follow, but was stopped by Chong Tu.

"I'm sorry, our host only invited Master Xu. Please wait here for a moment."

"Hey, we're guests here, aren't we? Is it really okay for you to treat us like this?"

Chen Feng raised his hands and placed them on his arms, looking at Chong Tu with dissatisfaction.

Chong Tu didn't care and turned around to walk out.

Chen Feng wanted to say something more, but remembering where he was, he swallowed his words.

Well, this is their territory after all, so it's better if he doesn't act recklessly here.

When Xu Yao arrived at Feng Yao's room, Feng Yao was drinking porridge, while Chong Feng sat to the side watching from a distance, not daring to approach.

Seeing Chongfeng like this, Xu Yao shook his head.

The saying "one thing subdues another" is really true. Who would have thought that the famous Shadow Tower Master would be afraid of a little girl?

When Feng Yao saw Xu Yao come in, she looked up at him with her big, blinking eyes. She was incredibly cute.

Xu Yao wanted nothing more than to grab a handful of it.

Xu Yao walked over and sat down next to Feng Yao, looking at her with a smile and asking, "How are you feeling? Are you comfortable?"

Feng Yao nodded, put down the spoon, stood up, and looked at Xu Yao curiously.

This was the first time she had ever seen a stranger in all the time she had been at the Shadow Tower, especially one who was so good-looking.

He was completely different from Chongfeng, Chongyu, and their group of cold-blooded people.

Feng Yao tilted her head and looked at Xu Yao, saying, "Brother, did you wake me up?"

"Yeah, shouldn't you thank me?"

Xu Yao watched Feng Yao with great interest, wanting to see what she would do.

Feng Yao raised her little hand and scratched her head as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she went over and hugged Xu Yao.
