"That's enough, Chenxing."
Su Feng interrupted, stopping Chen Xing from continuing.
Of course, he did not think that Chen Xing was wrong.
Putting aside the thousand villains who were beheaded by Yuan Detai, it seems unlikely that the matter of the Eight Immortals of Ghosts will be settled so easily.
During last night's battle, Su Feng did not notice any sign of the Eight Immortals appearing. They were obviously hiding in some corner, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
This powder keg is ready to explode at any moment.
If Yuan Detai were allowed to return now, the turmoil of last night would inevitably recur, and might even implicate the entire town's residents.
But... Su Feng isn't as straightforward as Chen Xing said, nor is he as stubborn as Chen Xing.
"If you wish to leave, I will not try to persuade you to stay. I only hope that you will think it over carefully. You can find shelter here, and it may not be too late to make a decision after things are perfectly resolved."
Su Feng's voice was indeed persuasive and intimidating, making Yuan Detai somewhat embarrassed.
"Dad~"
Qiaoyin, who was standing to the side, seemed to agree with Su Feng's words and gently tugged at Yuan Detai's arm.
Her gaze seemed to drift towards Su Feng's face, but when their eyes met, she looked away in a panic.
"Sigh—" Yuan Detai sighed helplessly, "I never thought that I, who have lived an upright life, would one day be entangled by those evil spirits. Oh well."
He cupped his hands in greeting and said again, "Then, I'll trouble Young Master Su for a little longer."
"It's alright." Su Feng nodded and chuckled.
"Qiao, Qiaoyin, thank you too, Young Master Su."
Qiaoyin quickly thanked her, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.
Her face turned bright red with embarrassment, and she didn't dare to lift her head.
Perhaps, somewhere she doesn't know, a girl's heart is stirring.
……
"It's definitely more comfortable in town—"
Upon arriving in Renjia Town, Chenxing became quite lively and active, tilting her head back and enjoying the fresh air.
Although the air here wasn't as fresh and fragrant as the banana grove, what she enjoyed was the aroma of food that permeated the streets and alleys.
"Silly sister, if that's the case, how about letting the young master arrange for you to go back to the Su residence? You can even help Uncle Fu out." Chen Yue teased from the side.
Chen Xing panicked instantly and hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, "I...I didn't mean that!"
Being able to be with Su Feng was something she longed for day and night!
How can we part ways like this?
Her clumsy and flustered reaction amused Su Feng behind her.
"Come to think of it, it has indeed been a while since I've been back to the manor. Remember to remind me to buy some gifts for Uncle Fu later."
Although the matter of the escape of the ghosts has not yet been resolved, it is broad daylight now, and those ghosts are probably hiding in some corner, so it will not be easy to find them.
This is also a good opportunity to let Chen Yue and Chen Xing catch their breath and relax.
The next few days will be the real opportunity to unleash our full potential.
Unlike using spiritual energy as bait to lure a group of ghosts into a trap, what needs to be done next requires splitting up, which is much riskier and more difficult.
"Hehe~ Young master, may I have a sesame seed cake?"
Chen Xing suddenly moved closer to Su Feng, acting coquettishly.
After spending a long time together, they lost their former caution towards Su Feng and became more open and relaxed.
Be cute and charming when you need to be.
The youthful energy emanating from the girl is indeed something to behold.
Unable to resist the intimate feeling of his arm being shaken, Su Feng took out a few silver dollars and handed them to Chen Yue.
"If you want to eat something, just have Chenyue buy it for you. Go and beg her."
Chen Xing actually scurried over to Chen Yue and swung her other arm vigorously.
To onlookers, the scene looked like a family of three going out for a stroll, a truly heartwarming sight.
Just as Chen Yue and Chen Xing ran to their usual pancake stall, Su Feng sensed the spiritual energy surging behind him and turned around gently.
"Young Master Su, I knew it was you!"
Uncle Nine walked from the other end of the street, accompanied by another person.
"Oh my, Fellow Daoist Su, it's been a long time!"
Upon seeing Su Feng, Master Four Eyes immediately stepped forward to greet him, looking him up and down with curiosity, exclaiming in amazement as he did so.
"It's been many days since I last saw you. I never expected your aura to have become so profound! Truly remarkable!"
His impression of Su Feng might still be based on that brief meeting a few months ago.
From the beginning, he believed that Su Feng was a chosen one of heaven, a prodigy with extraordinary talent!
Now he is even more certain of what he thinks!
This person is truly extraordinary!
Su Feng responded to the Four-Eyed Taoist's enthusiasm with a smile and a nod, "Have you two come here because there has been new progress on the Maoshan summons?"
“Yes,” Uncle Nine nodded, “That’s exactly why I came to discuss this matter with Young Master Su.”

Chapter 284 The mere mention of a tiger evokes fear! The terror of the Maoshan senior disciple!
Chen Yue and Chen Xing felt somewhat helpless, even a little disappointed.
I had originally thought that I would be able to spend the whole day with Su Feng and the other two, enjoying a warm and cozy time together.
Unexpectedly, the show had barely begun when it was intercepted halfway by Uncle Nine and a Taoist priest wearing glasses.
With no other option, they could only do as Su Feng suggested, buy some gifts next door, and head back to the Su residence to visit Uncle Fu.
As for Su Feng, he went to the mortuary with Uncle Jiu.
The familiar atmosphere, yet the pervasive stench of death still makes it hard to get used to.
In this lifeless place, only Uncle Nine and Master Four Eyes seemed to feel at ease.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Qiu Shengwencai was seen kneeling in the hall.
As soon as they saw Uncle Nine, they immediately kowtowed, once again showing a wronged look, "Master, we really know we were wrong."
No matter how much she cried, not a single tear came out.
Su Feng sneered inwardly; this acting was truly terrible.
"Get up now, don't embarrass yourself in front of Young Master Su!" Uncle Nine shouted sternly. "Don't think this will work, go back to your room!"
"But……"
"No buts! Now you won't even listen to me?!" Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows, and his intimidating aura instantly made Qiu Shengwen tremble, and he could only timidly leave the room.
Not far from there, Wencai poked his head in with a fawning smile, "Master, would you like me to make you a pot of tea?"
"go out!"
Uncle Nine scolded him again and slammed the door shut.
"Young Master Su, you flatter me. These two disciples are really troublesome, so I had no choice but to use this method to teach them a lesson."
Uncle Nine felt apologetic and spoke up.
Su Feng waved his hand, "Uncle Jiu, why blame yourself?"
Rather, he felt the lesson was too lenient.
If these two troublemakers don't suffer some physical pain, they probably won't learn much of a lesson.
"Alright, regarding the matter of the ten thousand ghosts escaping, my junior brother and I talked for a while, and we felt that it would be best to discuss it with Young Master Su."
Uncle Nine invited Su Feng to sit down, while he himself sat to the side.
"Uncle Jiu, please speak frankly."
"This summons from Maoshan will be attended by all the fellow disciples, including Junior Brother Qianhe, Junior Brother Longchuan, and Junior Brother Bailong, as well as..."
When the words were about to come out, Uncle Nine suddenly seemed a little embarrassed and found it difficult to speak.
"What Uncle Jiu is trying to say is Shi Jian, isn't it?"
Su Feng's words hit the nail on the head, which surprised even Uncle Jiu.
“Young Master Su is indeed insightful. I suppose that Senior Brother, being a disciple of Maoshan, would also have received the summons.”
As Uncle Nine was speaking, he was interrupted by the Taoist priest with four eyes standing to the side.
Master Four Eyes clicked his tongue, sounding slightly disgruntled, "Senior Brother seems to have overestimated Shi Jian. He's only nominally in charge now, and hasn't returned to Maoshan for many years..."
"The other elders are also complaining, but that's just how he is. He probably won't get involved in this incident."
Almost everyone who came from Maoshan knew about Shi Jian's character.
Some of the more senior members are particularly tight-lipped about this, and they always frown when the name is mentioned.
In his pursuit of power, he resorted to any means necessary and repeatedly violated the teachings of the Maoshan Sect, earning him the reputation of being "notorious" among others.
However, his own strength was indeed outstanding, and he was what Maoshan called a "genius that comes along only once in a century," so even now, they have not been able to bring themselves to remove him from the list.
Even so, there was no practical way to control it, so they had to let it be, which was a hurdle that the elders found hard to accept.
"Sigh—" Uncle Jiu didn't want to comment on many things, so he could only sigh.
Although Master Simu addressed Shi Jian by his given name, which was disrespectful, it was understandable.
