Longzang

Chapter 163 No Regrets
The two women knew something was wrong and quickly relaxed, but Xu Jingfeng had already lost interest. He got up and walked around the courtyard, finally stopping in the study, where he picked up a celadon teacup that he used to love and looked at it.

The teacup still held a lingering fragrance.

He casually placed the teacup on the left side of the desk. The two maids exchanged a glance, both pale-faced. They then remembered that Xu Jingfeng habitually held his teacup with his left hand.

The desk hadn't been wiped clean yet, and the lacquered surface was a bit greasy. Xu Jingfeng ran his finger across the surface, then sniffed it, catching a whiff of perfume.

Xu Jingfeng flicked his sleeve, smashing the teacup to pieces on the ground, and then strode away.

After leaving the small courtyard, Xu Jingfeng headed straight for the prison cell located in another residence. At this moment, a burning anger was raging within him, and he needed to suppress it properly.

The guards were all familiar faces. They were somewhat surprised to see Xu Jingfeng, but still bowed respectfully. Xu Jingfeng snorted, pointed to two men to lead the way, and entered the prison, heading straight for the high-prisoner area.

The dungeon was cold and damp, but the high-prisoner area was clean and tidy, even having a small courtyard that let in some sunlight. Xu Jingfeng had been here many times, so he headed straight for a few cells deep inside.

But the jailer who was leading the way blocked their path, saying with a forced smile, "Sir, it's not convenient right now."

"What, that slut is gone?"

"No, she's still here. It's just not very convenient right now."

The jailer smiled respectfully, but blocked Xu Jingfeng's way.

At this moment, strange sounds came from the cell at the end of the passage. Xu Jingfeng stared at the jailer in front of him and suddenly slapped him across the face!

The jailer was sent flying several feet, his facial bones shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of teeth before fainting on the spot.

Xu Jingfeng strode into the passage, his heavy footsteps echoing through the corridor. In the past, only he and Xu Zhiyuan were allowed to enter this prison area. If any important figures from the main family came, this was also a place for entertaining them.

But now someone has entered this place and disturbed his private property!
The passageway wasn't long, and Xu Jingfeng reached the cell door in just a few steps. The door opened, revealing a handsome and imposing young man who bore a striking resemblance to Xu Jingfeng, though with a more ruthless and decisive air about him.

Xu Jingfeng's face was indescribably ugly. Looking past Xu Jingzhe, one could see a section of snow-white body inside. In the past, this body had basically belonged solely to him, and Xu Jingzhe had no right to touch it.

Xu Jingzhe was not flustered at all. He calmly fastened his belt, straightened his clothes, and said, "Big brother came back quite quickly."

After straightening his clothes, Xu Jingzhe walked outside. Xu Jingfeng was momentarily intimidated by his imposing presence and subconsciously made way for him.

Xu Jingzhe sneered, "Big brother is really useless! You go inside and try to feel like the big brother again. Starting tomorrow, this place is no longer for you."

"So it was you who was behind this!" Xu Jingfeng's eyes blazed with anger.

"So what if it is? You've only been missing for a little over ten days, and all your people have become mine. I've done everything you couldn't do in the past few years! When I heard you were coming back, do you know why I didn't send someone to kill you?"

Xu Jingfeng asked instinctively, "Why?"

"Because your return wouldn't make a difference. Besides, having someone as useless as you as a foil would only make me seem more capable!"

Xu Jingfeng finally lost control and shouted, "Impossible! Father has always loved me the most, he would never let you do such a thing!"

"What Father likes is power and money! Of all our brothers and sisters, whoever can bring him these things, that's who he likes. In this respect, I'm far superior to you," Xu Jingzhe said sarcastically.

"impossible!!"

"I'm leaving first, you can have fun." Xu Jingzhe patted his older brother's shoulder and added, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, it's not very comfortable to sleep in your courtyard, but those two girls are really horny!" Xu Jingfeng left the prison in a daze, not even knowing how he got back to the courtyard.

Two maids were cleaning around when they saw Xu Jingfeng return and quickly came to greet him.

"Get out! All of you, get out!" Xu Jingfeng roared like a madman, kicking and punching. The two maids were hit several times and hurriedly ran away. Then, a series of bangs echoed in the courtyard as everything was smashed to pieces.

A moment later, Xu Jingfeng hurriedly went out, and no one dared to stop him or ask him any questions along the way.

A mysterious figure, completely shrouded in a long robe, entered the Lying Flat Inn. There were at least eight or a thousand such people in Quliu Town, so everyone ignored them, preoccupied with eating, drinking, and boasting.

The mysterious man went directly to the backyard and knocked on a gate. The gate opened, he was let in, and then the gate closed.

In the courtyard, Wei Yuan sat leaning against the table, engrossed in a storybook. Seeing Xu Jingfeng enter, he said, "You've arrived earlier than I expected."

"They've gone too far! I was only gone for a little over ten days, and now everything's gone! My father is biased too; he won't listen to anything I say!" Xu Jingfeng was somewhat incoherent.

Wei Yuan said calmly, "Your younger brother is a talented man. He had already secretly won over many of your men. Your arrest just gave him an opportunity. Even if you hadn't fallen into my hands, you would still be no match for him."

Xu Jingfeng suddenly knelt down with a thud, gritting his teeth and saying, "I've thought it through! As long as I can get back everything I've lost, I'll do whatever you say! No, from now on I will serve you as my master, and if I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth!"

Wei Yuan put down his storybook and said, "Oh? You've really thought it through?"

"Absolutely no regrets!"

Xu Jingfeng's reaction was exactly what Wei Yuan had expected. He hadn't experienced much setback until he truly lost something, which made him desperately want to grasp at something. At this moment, even if given a straw, he would hold on to it tightly.

Wei Yuan nodded, pointed a finger at his forehead, and a wisp of black energy entered his body. He then said, "I am now bestowing upon you a wisp of luck, which will not only bring you good fortune and make your wishes come true, but will also render many methods used against you ineffective. Your house has a feng shui formation, doesn't it?"

"There is a formation given to us by our family, which is over a hundred years old."

"After you go back, go through that formation again and re-register your identity. Just say you're worried about having some unclean things on you."

Xu Jingfeng nodded in agreement, then remembered something else and hurriedly said, "My father asked me to go to Master Mu Shang's place to have my health checked."

"It's alright, we'll see what he can see first." Wei Yuan wasn't too worried. The celestial fortune was of extremely high rank; even True Monarch Xuan Yue was helpless against it back then. Could a mere so-called master from the Western Regions really see through it?
Wei Yuan continued, "The caravan that will be transporting tribute to our family will depart in two days. Try to get this job and go with the caravan. If your father asks, just say you want to go to the interior to relax."

Having benefited from the luck, Xu Jingfeng's mind became much sharper. He instinctively sensed something was wrong and asked, "Is something going to happen to this caravan?"

Wei Yuan said calmly, "If you go, there will most likely be problems. At that time, you don't need to worry about anything else, just guard the caravan."

Then Wei Yuan took out a small bottle, placed it on the table, and said, "There is a drop of water in this bottle. After everything is done, find an opportunity to put a drop in your father's tea or rice."

Xu Jingfeng's eyelids twitched. He reached out his hand, but it trembled uncontrollably. He hesitated to take the small bottle and asked, "Does it have to be this way?"

Wei Yuan said, "I can help you deal with Xu Jingzhe, but there will be another one. Your father has so many women, and you already have many brothers and sisters, and there will be even more in the future. It's okay if you don't want to do it, I can find someone else."

After saying that, Wei Yuan was about to take the small bottle from the table, but Xu Jingfeng suddenly pressed the bottle down with both hands.
