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

"Yes!"

Chong Yu nodded and led Hua Qianyu upstairs.

Xu Yao glanced at the two enormous creatures outside the door, then turned to Chong Feng and Hua Qianyu and said, "Aren't you two going to put your spirit beasts away and just leave them at the door?"

Do you understand how conspicuous this is?

Besides, his dog Wangcai is gone, so what are these two doing here?

She's not even as good-looking as his son, Wangcai.

Chongfeng turned to look at the doorway and put the Chasing Wind Leopard back into the contract space, then turned to look at Hua Qianyu.

Hua Qianyu understood Chongfeng's meaning and also retrieved the firebird.

After the firebird was retrieved, Chongyu took him back upstairs.

However, it must be said that the Assassin's Guild was quite efficient; the guild leader appeared at the door in just one hour.

He was wearing a black mask that covered his face.

After he arrived, Chong Yu took him upstairs, and it's unclear what they were talking about.

Xu Yao wasn't in the mood to care about any of that. After retrieving the invisibility talisman, he began practicing drawing talismans.

Before he could finish drawing a single picture, Chen Feng ran over, looking at Xu Yao with great excitement.

"Now that nobody's watching us, shall we go out for a drink?"

I'm going back to the Blood Demon Hall tomorrow, how will I have time to go out?

Xu Yao glanced at the talisman on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Anyway, he's already learned these spells, and he's waiting for Chongfeng to teach him new ones.

Just as the three were about to leave, Chong Yu came downstairs.

Upon seeing Chong Yu, Chen Feng's face darkened immediately. They were just about to leave when this spoils the mood. What, do they no longer have personal freedom?

Chong Yu didn't say anything, but took out a ring from her pocket and threw it to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao took the ring and examined it carefully. He found that there was nothing different about it, except that the sapphire on the ring was larger.

Why did Chongyu give him the ring?

Does this ring mean you can get ten thousand taels of gold in return?

Xu Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Chong Yu warily, saying, "What do you mean by this? Why are you giving me a ring? Don't you want to give me the gold anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Chongyu's face instantly darkened.

He really wanted to pry open Xu Yao's head and see if there was anything else in it besides gold!

Chengfeng frowned and reminded him, "This is a ring space, similar in nature to a storage bag, but it can hold more things than a storage bag, and it is bound to its owner. As long as you drip your blood on it, no one but you can open it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao's eyes lit up immediately; this was exactly what he needed right now.

With this, wouldn't things be much better for him in the Blood Demon Hall?

If you don't let him use medicinal herbs, then he'll buy them himself; he just happens to be missing a pill-making furnace.

With this, I'd accept losing even ten thousand taels of gold!

However, I still feel a little sorry for him...

Xu Yao raised his hand, bit his finger, and dripped blood onto it.

However, his blood was instantly sucked in, and Xu Yao could also sense what was in the ring space: ten thousand taels of gold, no less!

Xu Yao's hands trembled with excitement as he looked at the 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins.

Generous, truly generous!

"Ten thousand taels of gold and the ring space will be your reward for saving Feng Yao. Also, the master has asked me to protect you closely."

"Okay, let's go!"

Now that the money has been paid, Xu Yao is willing to agree to anything!

Chen Feng glanced at Xu Yao with envy, now only regretting why he hadn't chosen the path of an alchemist!

……

When they arrived on the street, there were many stalls, including those selling medicinal herbs. However, these herbs were all very ordinary and completely useless.

Xu Yao looked up at the sky. It was already dark. The ghost market should be open by now, right?

Xu Yao turned to look at Chen Feng and the others and said, "Why don't we go to the Ghost Market? There's no one here selling medicinal herbs or alchemy furnaces."

"Didn't we come out for drinks?"

Chen Feng looked at Xu Yao with some confusion, while Xu Yao rolled his eyes at Chen Feng without saying a word.

How could he not know what his son looks like? If Chen Feng can drink here, wouldn't he be in big trouble if he drank here?

Xu Yao turned to look at Chong Yu, who nodded.

He then led the way without saying another word.

Seeing how familiar Chong Yu was with the route, Xu Yao raised an eyebrow as if he had thought of something.

If he had known, he wouldn't have been able to confirm that Chongyu was from the Ghost Market, but now he was certain that Chongyu was the one who collected money from the Ghost Market!

So the Ghost Market was run by the Shadow Tower!

Xu Yao raised his hand and touched his nose, then scurried over with a fawning smile on his face.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Ghost Market belongs to your Shadow Tower, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chongyu turned to look at Xu Yao, her face showing some surprise.

Xu Yao glanced at Chong Yu's face and said speechlessly, "You also wore a mask when you were on a mission. Although it was different, I'm not stupid."

Upon hearing this, Chongyu turned to look at Chen Feng and Chengfeng. The rule of the Ghost Market was to wear a mask, and for a moment he really didn't know whether he should go over or not.

After all, the fact that the Ghost Market is part of the Shadow Tower cannot be known to others.

Especially since both of them are members of the Blood Demon Hall.

Xu Yao seemed to see through Chong Yu's thoughts. He raised his hand and patted his chest, then turned and walked towards Chen Feng, placing his hand on Chen Feng's shoulder and looking at him with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Xu Yao's face, Chen Feng couldn't help but shiver and took a step back, looking at Xu Yao with full vigilance.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"What are you talking about? What could I possibly do?"

Xu Yao took out two silver notes from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then put one back.

He placed the silver note directly into Chen Feng's hand and said, "Didn't you want to drink? You guys can drink here first and wait for me. I'll be right back."

Looking at the silver notes in his hand and Xu Yao's beaming smile, Chen Feng couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

But why not take advantage of the free money? You get a free drink too, only a fool wouldn't want that.

Chen Feng waved his hand, then pulled Cheng Feng toward the restaurant next door.

After they left, Xu Yao walked over to Chong Yu's side.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Chongyu glanced at the departing figures of the two men, then turned her attention back to Xu Yao, asking, "They're also from the Blood Demon Hall. Aren't you afraid they'll report to the Blood Demon?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao's smile instantly froze on his face.

She's not stupid; how could she not have thought about this?

Even if they have a good relationship, one is the Blood Demon's father and the other is the Blood Demon's subordinate. How could they possibly help him fight against the Blood Demon?

Xu Yao sighed, raised an eyebrow at Chong Yu, and said, "If I hadn't made any preparations, how could I have let them know all this?"
