Chapter 17: This is How a Real Man Should Be

“If you don’t want to speak, do you want me to help you cut your tongue off?”
Si Zheng quickly raised his hands in surrender. “Little Cang, it was just a joke. There’s no need for such a big reaction.”
Cang Feilan didn’t respond, she just withdrew the dagger and twirled it in her hand before sheathed it back at her waist.
Si Zheng also wiped the smile off his face and asked calmly, “Alright, spill the beans. What’s going on?”
The three of them walked together on the street. During the conversation, Si Zheng learned the whole story from Qin Feng: “Kid, impressive!

Qin Feng pondered for a moment. “I usually help old ladies cross the street, feed beggars, and do good deeds. I never make enemies, so the possibility of revenge is low. Thinking about it, maybe, like the ghost cultivator said, it was jealous of my handsome looks, so it targeted me.”
Cang Feilan glanced at him sideways, but Si Zheng ignored him and changed the topic.
“Speaking of which, you said your surname is Qin Feng. In Jinyang City, I only know one family with the surname Qin, that’s the third-ranking Assistant General Qin Jian’an. When he moved to Jinyang City with his family, he brought some wine to visit me specially. What’s your relationship with him?”
