Chapter 51: Jealousy
"The Zhao Family is from the Northern Territory, a Martial Arts Clan. Zhao Liu is just one of their outer members, responsible for making money for them," Chu Feng said.
"Really? Zhao Liu controls all the sea and land transport for the entire Beihai. His assets are supposedly in the tens of billions, yet he’s just an outer member of the Zhao Family?" Su Miaoke was a little surprised.
"Sigh. It can’t be helped. He looks flashy on the surface, but in reality, he’s just working for the Zhao Family," Chu Feng said.
"Oh, right, at my friend’s party the other day... that Tang guy must be from a Martial Arts Sect similar to the Zhao Family, right?" Su Miaoke suddenly recalled.
After all, everyone there had treated that Tang Lin with the utmost respect.
"Yes. The Zhao Family is in the Northern Territory, while the Tang Family is in the Southern Border. The Tang Family is backed by the Qing Gang. The two families are likely in conflict," Chu Feng said.
"Doesn’t that put you in a lot of danger?" Su Miaoke immediately grew worried.
"Don’t worry. What happened to us this time was most likely related to the Tang Family. They were probably the ones behind it!" Chu Feng said.
In truth, he wasn’t afraid of the Tang Family coming after him at all. ’I have the inheritance of the God of Wealth. What is there to fear?’
’Even if they dare to come after me, they won’t be my match. They’re probably just coming to deliver Merit to me.’
"That’s despicable! So what if they’re a big family? Does that give them the right to murder people? I’ll go to my dad and have him ask Sixth Master to help investigate," Su Miaoke said angrily, extremely worried for Chu Feng’s safety.
"Whoa, Miaoke, what are you worried about? Maybe the ones they wanted to kill were the people from the Zhao Family," Chu Feng said, hastily pulling her back.
"I suppose that’s possible. After all, that Hu Long character did have a conflict with Sixth Master. But even so, we can’t let our guard down. We have to be careful," Su Miaoke said, looking at Chu Feng.
"Right. We’ll just be a bit more careful," Chu Feng said, nodding.
In reality, Chu Feng wasn’t afraid at all. He was even looking forward to these people coming to deliver him some Merit.
"What are those people from the Zhao Family like?" Su Miaoke asked.
"They’re young people from the clan, probably just here on a trip. They all practice martial arts," Chu Feng said.
"Tsk. Is there some kind of dark secret I don’t know about?" Su Miaoke suddenly asked, staring at Chu Feng.
Su Miaoke’s question left Chu Feng momentarily speechless. "How is that possible? There’s nothing going on between us."
"Why wouldn’t it be possible? That Zhao Qinghan girl is gorgeous, isn’t she? I saw the way she looked at you. Are you telling me you weren’t the least bit tempted?" Su Miaoke pressed.
"No, absolutely not! I swear, my heart only has room for you, my darling," Chu Feng said, suddenly all serious. A chill was already starting to creep down his spine.
’She’s jealous! If I say one wrong thing, I’m done for.’
"Hmph. It’s best if there’s nothing. Otherwise, you’re dead meat!" Su Miaoke made a sharp, cutting gesture at Chu Feng.
It sent an instant chill through Chu Feng. ’Terrifying.’
"I’ll go make you something to eat." Satisfied with his answer, Su Miaoke went to cook.
「Meanwhile, in the room of the Tang Family disciples.」
BANG!
Tang Mu flipped a table right over.
"Fuck! They actually made it back alive!" Tang Mu raged. Behind him, the other Tang Family disciples were frozen in fear, not daring to utter a sound.
"Brother Mu, we’ll find another opportunity to get them next time! They were just damn lucky to survive!"
"Next time! I’ll kill every last one of them! Including Chu Feng! A worthless piece of trash, daring to act so arrogantly in front of my Tang Family!"
At the Bright Moon Mountain Villa, Chu Feng stared at the table full of dishes Su Miaoke had made. His mouth watered and his stomach rumbled loudly.
"Go on, eat. Look how starved you are," Su Miaoke said.
Chu Feng didn’t hold back, immediately grabbing his bowl and chopsticks and digging in.
To be honest, Chu Feng hadn’t eaten his fill once during the past few days on the island. After all, he had a massive appetite.
As Chu Feng’s realm and power grew, so did his appetite. It would only return to normal once he surpassed the Qi Cultivation Realm and achieved Foundation Establishment.
After all, upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chu Feng could go seven or eight days without eating and not even feel hungry.
After eating and drinking his fill, Chu Feng quickly washed up and went to bed early.
「The next morning.」
After a strenuous night, Su Miaoke was still asleep, but Chu Feng was already up.
The phone rang, and Chu Feng quickly answered it. "Hello, may I ask who’s calling?"
"Is this Chu Feng? It’s Qinghan. Zhao Qinghan." Zhao Qinghan’s voice came from the other end of the line.
At that moment, Su Miaoke was also woken by the noise. She stretched lazily and looked up at Chu Feng.
"Honey, who’s on the phone?" Su Miaoke asked.
"Oh, it’s Miss Zhao. Is there something I can help you with?" Chu Feng said.
’Miss Zhao? Zhao Qinghan?’
Su Miaoke was instantly wide awake.
"Why is she calling you so early in the morning?" Su Miaoke whispered.
"Could you come over to Sixth Master Zhao’s place? I have something I need to discuss with you," Zhao Qinghan said.
"Okay, I’ll be there shortly." Chu Feng nodded and hung up.
"What does she want with you so early? Where are you going?" Su Miaoke demanded.
"It’s probably about the incident a few days ago. She asked me to go to Sixth Master’s place," Chu Feng said.
"Then I’m going too," Su Miaoke declared.
Chu Feng nodded, agreeing immediately.
’How could I dare refuse? If her jealousy flares up again, I’m the one who’ll suffer. I barely slept at all last night.’
In truth, Zhao Qinghan had learned a few things about Chu Feng from Sixth Master, which only made her more curious.
First, there was the conflict with Hu Long, where he had declared that Hu Long would be dead within three days.
And as a result, Hu Long was struck and killed by lightning the very next day.
Then there was the incident at the gathering with the Tang Family disciples. He said they would die, and they did, with the cause of death remaining a mystery.
The conclusion was death by natural causes!
More importantly, their location had been leaked. Someone had deliberately set a trap for them.
The crew that took them out to sea that day weren’t from the yacht company at all, and the supposed call for rescue was also a fake.
Someone was definitely orchestrating this, trying to get them all killed. That was why Zhao Qinghan had asked Chu Feng to come over and discuss it.
After they quickly washed up and had some breakfast, Chu Feng and Su Miaoke drove to Sixth Master’s villa.
As soon as they reached the bridge outside Jiulong Lake, a security guard immediately waved them through with a respectful salute.
The moment their car reached the villa, someone was there to receive them as if they were distinguished guests. The treatment left even Chu Feng feeling a bit overwhelmed.
