The Young Swordsman of Dalu

Wenfei and Changsheng knocked out two guards outside, hid them, changed into their clothes, and stood at the door. Wenfei was looking for an opportunity to go inside.

Feng Yumian walked up to Shangguan Xingyun, looked her over carefully for a while, and said, "She's a very nice girl. Don't leave, stay with me."

"Absolutely not! I have parents at home who need my care, and I can't stay outside for too long," Shangguan Xingyun refused.

“You have no choice here.” Feng Yumian chuckled.

“The Lord has already agreed to let me go.” Shangguan Xingyun looked at Feng Datian.

"With the eldest princess around, we should just listen to her!" Feng Datian sat there dejectedly.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Feng Yumian asked.

"I am Shangguan Xingyun, and I am twenty years old."

“My lord, this Miss Shangguan is the same age as Kuo’er.” Feng Yu’mian looked at the dejected Feng Datian.

"What does Sister want to do?" Feng Datian asked Feng Yumian.

“My son is of marriageable age, and this woman happens to be from our homeland. I see that she is quite attractive and could be my son’s wife,” Feng Yumian said.

"I don't want to! Let me go back!" Shangguan Xingyun protested.

“I’m in charge here, little girl!” Feng Yumian laughed smugly.

"Who are you people? What are you doing here? Release me now!" Shangguan Xingyun shouted.

Shangguan Xingyun's shouts reached outside the door. Wenfei said, "Changsheng, let's go in and rescue Miss Shangguan in a bit."

“Yes, young master, I can’t wait!” Changsheng said.

"Miss Shangguan, we've arrived!" Wenfei and Changsheng entered the room.

Shangguan Xingyun's worst fears came true. Looking at Wen Fei in front of her, she felt very uncomfortable. She was afraid that Wen Fei would reveal his family background and be used by the Feng siblings, which was a situation that no one wanted to see.

"Who are they to you?" Feng Yumian asked.

"They are my younger brother and I, who came out to travel together. We got lost and separated earlier. I didn't expect them to find their way here," Shangguan Xingyun said.

Feng Yumian scrutinized them carefully and said, "Who exactly are you? Why have you come here? You'd better tell the truth."

After Feng Yumian finished speaking, a large number of guards rushed into the room and surrounded Wen Fei and his group.

“Since we are old friends, how can you treat us like this? Be more polite,” Wenfei said with a smile.

"Where did you two get here? Zuo Heng, are all your men useless?" Feng Yumian roared.

"Arrest them all immediately!" Zuo Heng said.

Shangguan Xingyun gave Wen Fei a wink, signaling him not to make a move. Wen Fei understood and obediently surrendered with Changsheng.

Wen Fei and the other two were blindfolded and walked a long way before being locked up in a large prison.

"Chang Sheng, tear the cloth off with your mouth," Wen Fei whispered.

Changsheng used a lot of effort to tear off the cloth covering Wenfei's eyes with his mouth, and Wenfei used the same method to help Shangguan Xingyun and Changsheng tear off the cloth covering their eyes.

"This looks like a dungeon." Shangguan Xingyun looked at everything in front of him.

"It should be," Wenfei said.

"Miss Shangguan, you actually traveled such a long way to gather herbs. What kind of godforsaken place is this?" Changsheng complained.

“Shut up, Changsheng!” Wenfei said.

"Have you followed me all the way here?" Shangguan Xingyun asked.

Wen Fei nodded, and Shangguan Xingyun said helplessly, "Why did you all insist on coming along?"

Wen Fei remained silent, looking thoughtfully at Shangguan Xingyun. He hadn't intended to ask, but he couldn't help himself: "Miss Shangguan, what exactly are you and my father hiding?"

"We're not hiding anything," Shangguan Xingyun said, avoiding Wen Fei's gaze.

“Alright! Our most important thing now is to escape this hellhole,” Wenfei said.

Feng Yumin was arguing with Feng Datian inside the hall. Feng Datian didn't want to say another word to his domineering older sister. From childhood to adulthood, Feng Datian had lived under his sister's oppressive rule. He often thought that if his second sister were still here, it would be better, because she always protected him. When he learned that Feng Yuwan had committed suicide by the South China Sea, he secretly cried for several days.

"Those three must die!" Feng Yumian said domineeringly.

"Since you've already made up your mind, why are you still discussing it with me?" Feng Datian said with dissatisfaction.

“You are our lord!” Feng Yumian said.

"It's better not to be the Venerable One!" Feng Datian sighed as he looked up.

"Do you think I want to do all this for you? It's because you're useless. You're always soft-hearted at crucial moments. How can we accomplish our great cause if you're like this!" Feng Yumian said loudly.

"You decide what to do! I'm tired, I'm going to spend time with my son." Feng Datian walked into the back hall.

"Useless! You and your father are both useless!" Feng Yumian roared at the back of the hall with exasperation.

Feng Yumin and Zuo Heng went down into the dungeon, while Wen Fei and the others were resting with their eyes closed.

“You’re all so calm when your deaths are imminent,” Feng Yumian said.

"Don't do this! You're killing us before you've even asked any questions," Wen Fei said.

Feng Yumian walked up to Wen Fei and said, "You're quite fair-skinned, what a pity! But you look so familiar to me, like we've met somewhere before. But it doesn't matter, you'll be going to the Pure Land soon."

Shangguan Xingyun felt a little nervous listening to Feng Yumian's words. She didn't know how Wen Fei would react if he knew about her background, but she knew that Feng Yumian would definitely not let go of the opportunity to use Wen Fei to achieve her goals.

Shangguan Xingyun looked at Wenfei and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. What a fine young man, yet he didn't even know his own background.

At this moment, Wen Fei was only thinking about how to get Feng Yumian to take them out of the dungeon so that he could unleash his full power and lead everyone to escape.

“Even if you don’t ask, Grandpa still can’t help but tell you our purpose in coming here. We’re here to find your hideout and wipe you all out in one fell swoop. How about that? Exciting, isn’t it?” Wen Fei said calmly to Feng Yu Mian.

"Bastards! Drag them out! Kill them!" Feng Yumian was clearly enraged, and Wen Fei and the other two were dragged out of the dungeon.

By this time, it had already gotten dark on the grassland, and the people raised their torches, illuminating the grassland with bright light.

"Cut them all down!" Feng Yumian ordered.

Several burly men carrying broadswords approached Wen Fei and his companions, ordering them to kneel and prepare to behead them. Just then, Wen Fei used his internal energy to loosen the ropes binding his hands. Shangguan Xingyun shouted, "Princess, I have something here. Do you recognize it?"

"Don't try anything funny! Bring it here!"

Shangguan Xingyun gestured for it to be in his arms. Feng Yumian stepped forward, reached into Shangguan Xingyun's arms, and pulled out a handkerchief. Inside the handkerchief was a green thumb ring.

"Why do you have this thing?"

"Given to you by an old friend."

The moment Wenfei's rope loosened with his internal force, he saw the green thumb ring that Feng Yumian had taken out of Shangguan Xingyun's arms. Wasn't that the green thumb ring my grandmother gave me? Wasn't it with Li Chaoyang? How come it's with Miss Shangguan again?
