C323 It Was a Turning Point

Du Qi still smiled faintly and said, "Little Ke, Du Qi from the Du Mansion of Xiangyang. He once happened to see the Taoist priest in an inn in King Xing's Mansion. He could not help but be affected by the Taoist priest's demeanor, so he did not dare to forget about it until now."

Daoist priest Fenghuo's expression changed drastically when he heard Du Qi's words. It wasn't because of Du Qi's intimidation. It was because Du Qi said he had seen him in King Xing's Mansion before, and then he suddenly remembered Du Qi's origin. He patted his head lightly and said in a sudden realization, "Oh, I remember now. You look at me like that. For a moment, even Young Master Du did not recognize him. Damn it! I wonder what Young Master Du is doing here? "

It turned out that this old Daoist was the rude and unreasonable old Daoist who had injured the inn assistant Feng Xian when Du Qi brought Qin Xin to King Xing's Mansion that day. Later, Du Qi had followed Luo Changhe in the dark and heard his voice. He knew that Daoist priest Fenghuo's words were indeed in his favor. However, he did not know what Daoist priest Fenghuo's intention was. Therefore, when Du Qi entered the hall, he had recognized Daoist priest Fenghuo. However, for various reasons, he didn't say anything in time. When he saw Daoist priest Fenghuo ask, he could not help but glance at Shang Piaopiao and Shang Luoye. He smiled and said, "I originally came to watch the show, but now I want to take in two girls. Elder Daoist won't have any objections, right? "

Daoist priest Fenghuo hurriedly nodded his head and said, "It's what I should do. Young Master Du just need to be at ease. Just pretend that the six of us don't exist. If anyone dares to disobey Young Master Du's orders... If you want to go against me, I won't let you off easily! "

Du Qi was overjoyed to see that Daoist priest Fenghuo still valued and protected him. He sincerely said, "In that case, Du Qi would like to thank Daoist Priest for helping me!"

Daoist priest Fenghuo said in a carefree manner, "It's just a small matter, Young Master Du need not worry about it!"

Zuo Ertong and the others naturally knew what Du Qi meant. He obviously wanted to take care of Shang Piaopiao and Shang Luoye, the two key people involved. If Du Qi's wish was fulfilled, then their plan to control the Fallen Leaf Association through Shang Luoye would be foiled. Furthermore, after knowing that Shang Piaopiao and Shang Luoye were the descendants of the twelve families, Zuo Ertong and the others' desire to control Shang Luoye became even stronger. Daoist priest Fenghuo, on the other hand, spoke to Du Qi with a hint of flattery. He did not stop Du Qi. The shock in their hearts could not be expressed with words. After pondering for a long time, Zuo Ertong could not help saying in a panic, "Is it not appropriate for Daoist Priest to do this? After all, we were invited by Miss Fallen Leaf, and the matter has yet to come to an end. How can we abandon her without consideration for morality and help outsiders? Besides, there is still... "

Daoist priest Fenghuo interrupted Zuo Ertong's words and said indifferently," This Immortal Master is willing to do so. Who cares if it is appropriate or not? All of you don't need to say anything. This Immortal Master knows what to do! "

Zuo Ertong could not help but feel stifled when he heard this. He was stunned and could not help but say, "But..."

Seeing that Zuo Ertong did not seem to be convinced and wanted to stop him again and again, Daoist priest Fenghuo suddenly felt displeased and could not help but shout, "There's nothing to say but 'but'. All of you just sit there and watch the show. If you really can't sit down, no one will stop you!"

Zuo Ertong knew Daoist priest Fenghuo's temperament well. As long as it was something he was certain of, no matter who it was, no one could oppose the change. If it made him angry, it would definitely not be good to go. When he saw that Daoist priest Fenghuo was not happy with his persuasion, Zuo Ertong could not help but feel surprised. How could he dare to say anything? He felt that it was not right to stay here any longer. So he quickly followed the Dao of Wind and Fire and said, "We still have some trivial matters to attend to. This matter is decided by the Dao Elder. We are naturally at ease, how about you let us take our leave first?"

Daoist priest Fenghuo didn't even look at Zuo Ertong. Instead, he lazily waved his hand. He said indifferently, "Go, go! But remember what Young Master Du said just now. No one is allowed to hear what they saw here. Especially when the secret of Miss Shang's family was spread out. Otherwise, even if Young Master Du let him go, I will make him regret why his parents gave birth to him! "

Zuo Ertong saw that Daoist priest Fenghuo's tone was stern and didn't dare to speak anymore. He quickly bowed and left. The four men didn't dare to have any objections and hurriedly followed behind Zuo Ertong with their tails between their legs.

Seeing Zuo Ertong and the others leave, Daoist priest Fenghuo laughed and said, "Are there any eyewitnesses who follow young master?"

Du Qi was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Daoist priest Fenghuo said casually, "If there are any eyewitnesses, we naturally have to get rid of them before we can talk."

Du Qi's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What secrets do you have that you want to tell me?"

Daoist priest Fenghuo said casually, "I often travel between the capital and the west courtyard to tell secrets. I know a lot, but I don't know which one to tell Young Master Du. However, there is a small matter that can't be considered a matter that Young Master Du might be interested in. "

Du Qi said, "Elder Daoist, can you tell me about it?"

Daoist priest Fenghuo said, "Has Young Master Du heard of Yu Dayuv?"

Du Qi knew that Daoist priest Fenghuo would never mention Yu Dayuv for no reason, but he did not know what Daoist priest Fenghuo's intention was. He said, "Are you talking about Yu Dayuv General Yu, who is known as the number one swordsman in the world and is famous for making Japanese pirates lose their courage?"

Daoist priest Fenghuo stroked the few strands of beard on his chin and said with some praise, "Yes! However, he is not a general now, but a pitiful prisoner. Does Young Master Du intend to save him from prison?"

Du Qi said haltingly, "Although I admire General Yu Dayuv's character, I am not familiar with him. He has no relationship with me, and there are other things that are tied to him. Besides, I am just a foreign delinquent and am not familiar with the politics of the capital. Even if I wanted to save him, I wouldn't be able to do it. Thus, I am powerless to do anything about it. "

Although Daoist priest Fenghuo looked like he was trying his best to help Du Qi, Du Qi did not know him and had always been on guard against him. That was why he used such words to cover him up.

Daoist priest Fenghuo naturally showed a look of dissatisfaction when he heard this, but he still smiled and said, "The duty of the Du Mansion in the Xiangyang is to uphold justice in the world. What you have done has always earned the respect of those who know what you are doing. That was why I spared no effort to secretly help Young Master Du that day. Now, I am also willing to help Young Master Du fulfill his wish. I originally wanted to use Young Master Du's hand to save Yu Dayuv in the name of Young Master Du, but who knew that Young Master Du would say such words that would cause others to feel disgusted. What else do you want me to say?"
