Chapter 125 - The Dragon House Final Act Begins

The sun was setting over the western mountains and the sky was getting dark.

In the inner chamber of the Dragon Mansion, Li Feng was still sitting cross-legged in the center of the bright ever-burning candles setup, staring intently at the remaining a hundred-something lights.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

With two 'poofs', two more candle flames turned into green smoke and dispersed.

A bad feeling appeared in Li Feng's heart just as three light knocks suddenly came from the door behind him.

"Longling... come in."

Squeak---

"Yes, father."

Li Longling pushed open the door and looked at Li Feng's back. She frowned, biting her lower lip.

Standing at the door, she took a few deep breaths before mustering the courage to step over the threshold, then entered the room and closed the door.

After taking ten steps forward, Li Longling lifted her skirt slightly and plopped to her knees.

Hearing the thud, Li Feng was startled and turned his head to look behind him. Seeing her kneeling, he asked, "Longling, what are you doing?"

"Father." Li Longling lowered her eyes and was silent for a while. "Wu Yue... it was you who arranged for her to be by my side?"

"..."

Li Feng was completely unaware of this matter. He had been staying at home for the past few days, turning a deaf ear to what happened outside and practicing meditation.

But when he heard Li Longling mention Wu Yue's name and saw her kneeling behind him, no matter how muddle-headed he was, he could imagine that she probably already knew the whole story.

Maybe she had no evidence, but...

Puff puff puff--

Three ever-burning candles suddenly went out.

Li Feng closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, but soon he loosened them up.

"..."

Li Longling waited for her father's answer without speaking.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

She waited until the afterglow of dusk shining through the window completely disappeared, leaving only the light of the ever-burning candles in the room.

"Father, she had the jade token you gave her and is your confidant, but she is a demonic cultivator."

"..."

"You have to stay here for the next seven days. This is the only place that will not be affected by the formation spell."

Li Feng stood up, glanced at the hundred or so ever-burning candles left, and stepped around Li Longling before heading out.

Li Longling, who heard Li Feng's footsteps, quickly reached out to grab him, but she hit the restrictive barrier and was repelled back by an invisible force.

"Ah--"

"..."

Li Feng, who was at the door, looked back at her with a frown and hesitated for a while. Then, he walked out.

Walking down the corridor outside the room, he ran into a servant girl waiting a little further.

When she saw him coming out, the maid hastily came forward and greeted him. "Master Li."

Li Feng looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "Longling has been grounded for seven days. Keep her company."

"Ah? Grounded?" The maid was surprised. "What... why? Did Miss do something wrong?"

"Do you have the right to ask?"

"..."

The maid shrank her neck and peeked at Li Feng's face.

After working as a maid in the mansion for decades, this was the first time she saw Li Feng with such a serious expression, a little scary, even.

She gulped, lowered her head, and answered. "Yes... I understand."

Li Feng glanced at her and walked out.

The corridor opened into a garden.

Li Feng strode forward and went through the moon-shaped garden gate, but the moment he stepped over the threshold, he felt someone was looking at him. Immediately, he turned his head in the direction where he sensed something.

The silver-haired girl was hiding behind a nearby tree, holding two ginkgo leaves in her hand as a camouflage, and when she saw him looking over, she hurriedly withdrew her head back behind the tree.

Li Feng narrowed his eyes and instantly arrived behind her in one step, tilting his head to look at her. "Feng Yu Die?"

"Ah..."

Feng Yu Die didn't realize that she had been noticed at all. She felt that she was hiding well. Turning her head stiffly, she said with a foolish giggle. "Ahaha-- Master Li, I came to see Sister Li."

Li Feng sneered. "Your and Miss Xiao's cultivation levels are not enough to change anything. Let me give you a word of advice: take Miss Xiao out of the Dragon House immediately and return to your Black Star Sect. This is the last reminder."

Feng Yu Die straightened her head and blinked quickly in a daze. "Master Li, what are you saying?"

"Heh..."

Li Feng snorted disdainfully and walked forward into the depths of the garden.
