"Please!"
Feng Lingzi poured a cup of water for Ye Cangtian and handed it over before sitting down.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian took a sip of water, slowly placed the cup on the table, and then looked at the other person.
He then said, "Senior, we have a question in our hearts. Why did you hand over the Swift Wind Tower to Wan Mingxuan to manage?"
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Feng Lingzi looked at Ye Cangtian curiously, not answering directly, but asking back.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian was silent for a moment, and said faintly, "As of now, nothing major has happened, but it's unclear for the future!"
"What do you mean?" Feng Lingzi frowned.
Ye Cangtian said, "Wan Mingxuan has just announced to the outside world that Ye Cangtian of the Hidden Group used evil formations to persecute the citizens of Jinling City, thereby increasing his strength!"
Ye Cangtian explained that in his opinion, Wan Mingxuan's actions would put the Hidden Group in a precarious position, attracting strong enemies from all sides.
This way, the Swift Wind Tower could reap the benefits.
In other words, the Swift Wind Tower would eventually make a move against the Hidden Group, and the outcome would be difficult to predict.
"Ye Cangtian?"
Mentioning Ye Cangtian, Feng Lingzi's brows furrowed tightly.
The next moment, his gaze became like a sharp blade as he looked at Ye Cangtian and said coldly, "Kid, say that again. Who do you represent?"
Feng Lingzi suddenly remembered that Wan Mingxuan had previously said that Yi Feipeng had been killed by Ye Cangtian of the Hidden Group.
Before, when he heard that Hidden Dragon represented Akun, he was overjoyed and had completely forgotten about this matter.
It was only when the other party mentioned Ye Cangtian that he remembered.
How could the other party represent a dead person? This was clearly deceiving him.
"I represent Akun, who is Yi Feipeng!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other person with extreme determination.
He saw through the other party's doubts at a glance and then said, "Senior, I know your doubts. Wan Mingxuan must have told you that Yi Feipeng is dead, right?"
Uh...
Feng Lingzi was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He didn't know how the other party had guessed it, but he finally nodded and admitted it.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian said, "Let me tell you, everything Wan Mingxuan said is false. Yi Feipeng is not dead, and he is actually in the Swift Wind Hall right now! This is one of the reasons we disguised ourselves!"
Yi Feipeng is not dead?
Feng Lingzi's old eyes flickered.
He was silent for a long time, and for the time being, he believed the other party.
The next moment, he looked at the other person and continued, "Alright, let's talk about the Ye Cangtian you mentioned. As far as I know, although this person is a prodigy of the younger generation, he is sinister, treacherous, and has even attacked Yi Feipeng. Are these consistent with what you know?"
"It doesn't match at all."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "Wan Mingxuan told you all this, didn't he?"
Seeing the other party nod, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "As far as I know, Ye Cangtian spared Wan Mingxuan out of respect for Yi Feipeng. As for the attack, it is entirely fabricated!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "As for Ye Cangtian's character, I will not comment further. Seniors can return to the Swift Wind Tower and see for themselves!"
Ye Cangtian did not reveal his identity directly.
The other party was still biased by Wan Mingxuan's words, so if he rashly revealed his identity, it would likely backfire.
"You said that Ye Cangtian has come to Swift Wind City?"
Feng Lingzi asked in surprise. Although he didn't know what was happening outside, he knew that Ye Cangtian possessed the Four Seals.
Coming to Swift Wind City so carelessly, wouldn't that be courting death?
So he found it somewhat unbelievable!
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Yi Feipeng was harmed by Wan Mingxuan in league with the Five Poisons Sect. In the end, Yi Feipeng fled to the Hidden Group, was saved by Ye Cangtian, and then Ye Cangtian personally sent him back..."
"What!"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Feng Lingzi's brows furrowed immediately. This completely overturned everything he knew.
However, thinking about it, he himself was in such a predicament, so it was not surprising that Wan Mingxuan dealt with Yi Feipeng!
"To think I raised such an ambitious traitor!"
Seeing Feng Lingzi's angry expression, Ye Cangtian quickly said, "Senior, please tell me why you handed over the Swift Wind Tower to Wan Mingxuan. Is there some hidden reason behind it?"
"This..."
Feng Lingzi looked at Ye Cangtian hesitantly, remained silent for a long time, and then gritted his teeth, "It's better that you don't know about this matter. It won't do you or me any good!"
"Moreover, even if you know, you will be powerless. You can't fight them and will only lose your life in vain!"
Although Feng Lingzi believed the Ye Cangtian in front of him, he knew that with the other party alone, even with Yi Feipeng, it would be difficult to shake Wan Mingxuan.
He did not want the two of them to lose their lives.
Ye Cangtian heard this and quickly said, "Senior, please rest assured. I have a sense of proportion in everything I do. If I am truly outmatched, I will not force it, so please tell me the truth!"
Alas!
Feng Lingzi took a deep look at Ye Cangtian. Seeing his persistence, he finally sighed.
"Alright, I will tell you about the dark deeds of the Swift Wind Tower!"
Feng Lingzi briefly recounted what had happened.
After Wan Mingxuan returned, Feng Lingzi was initially dissatisfied with his mission failure.
But thinking that the other party had also narrowly escaped death at Ye Cangtian's hands, he did not pursue the matter further.
However, Wan Mingxuan was unwilling to suffer such humiliation and repeatedly instigated the Swift Wind Tower to attack the Hidden Group.
To be honest, Feng Lingzi was tempted at the time, but the Hidden Group could not be underestimated, and to go to war with the Hidden Group, thorough preparations were needed.
So Feng Lingzi outwardly suppressed the matter, and within a few days, he was poisoned.
After that, Wan Mingxuan stopped pretending and directly revealed his ugly face, confronting him and declaring his intention to take over the entire Swift Wind Tower.
If it were just this, Feng Lingzi would never have yielded. Even though he was poisoned, he could still eliminate Wan Mingxuan.
But unfortunately, Wan Mingxuan also held a secret of his, which forced him to yield.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Feng Lingzi's voice stopped at this point, Ye Cangtian was slightly stunned and quickly pressed, "Senior, what is the secret?"
After a pause, to avoid misunderstanding, Ye Cangtian continued, "Senior, I have no intention of prying into the secrets of the Swift Wind Tower, but if you don't tell me, I won't be able to help you!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Feng Lingzi was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth, "It's all about absurd things."
Feng Lingzi said with a forced smile. On the surface, he was alone with no children, and for the inheritance of the Swift Wind Tower, he chose to remain single his entire life.
But in fact, he was young once, and he was also passionate and impulsive.
Many years ago, he made a mistake and had an illegitimate daughter.
However, at that time, he was already a highly respected Tower Master, so he did not bring this mother and daughter to his side, but kept them hidden in secret.
He thought no one knew about all this, but for some reason, Wan Mingxuan knew about it and threatened him with his daughter.
Feng Lingzi himself did not fear death, but how could he bear to let his daughter die with him?
After all, he already felt guilty towards his daughter!
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's mouth twitched. This was indeed a bit absurd.
After a moment, he looked at the other person and said, "Senior, please tell me your daughter's information. I will do my best to rescue her."
Upon hearing this, Feng Lingzi was silent for a moment and directly gave Ye Cangtian all the information about his daughter, Feng Xiang'er.
Ye Cangtian memorized Feng Xiang'er's information firmly and then said, "Senior, you said you were also poisoned? What is the condition of your body? Let me examine you."
"I can still manage!"
Feng Lingzi said, but did not refuse Ye Cangtian's examination.
It was good for the other party to know his condition now. If the poison could be resolved, he could rescue his daughter himself.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian placed his hand on Feng Lingzi's wrist and infused a trace of spiritual energy.
After a moment, Ye Cangtian's brows were already tightly furrowed.
Feng Lingzi's condition was very poor. The poison had spread throughout his body and was attempting to invade his internal organs and meridians.
If it weren't for his strong cultivation supporting him, the situation would likely be even more serious.
The most troublesome thing was that this poison was very potent and extremely overbearing. Ye Cangtian had only infused a trace of spiritual energy, and the poison had followed this trace of spiritual energy, attempting to attack him.
