#1167 - Chapter 1167 The two met

“Xu Lin, can you… can you take me away?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin's dark eyes suddenly narrowed, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

Xu Lin didn't speak, but Xu Zhi's watery eyes remained fixed on Xu Lin, the expectation in them impossible to conceal.

Seeing that Xu Lin didn't answer her, Xu Zhi chuckled softly, the corners of her mouth curving into a bitter smile.

Xu Zhi turned around, and as she did, a crystal-clear tear flowed silently down her cheek.

Xu Lin lowered his head in silence.

Although he was a member of the Xu family, he was merely a medical cultivator, without power or influence. How could he be worthy of the Xu family's daughter's favor?

Xu Zhi suppressed the emotions in her heart. She knew his concerns, but even if he only said one word, "Yes," she would abandon everything and leave Four Directions City with him.

But Xu Lin didn't give her the answer she wanted.

Xu Zhi closed her eyes, adjusted her emotions, and turned around after a moment. The affectionate feelings from before were long gone from her eyes.

“Please, Physician Lin, do your best to save my father. The Xu family will certainly reward you handsomely.” Xu Zhi said coldly, uttering the official words.

“Bang~”

Then, Xu Zhi pushed open the door and walked out.

-

After Ye Kong understood the situation in the city, he returned to the inn.

At this time, he happened to run into Ren Cheng leading a large group of family retainers on a search.

Seeing the inn surrounded by the Ren family's people, Ye Kong concealed himself in the crowd, thinking that since he had set up a formation, he shouldn't be discovered. He wasn't in a hurry to go in.

At this moment, Ren Cheng was in a fit of anger. Thinking of how he had been ridiculed by Xu Cheng in the Xu family's courtyard, Ren Cheng was somewhat agitated.

Just then, he led the retainers to check the room where Zhang Tie and the others were staying.

Looking at the door, Ren Cheng's anger rose uncontrollably. He aimed directly at the door and kicked it open violently.

With a "Bang!" the door was violently opened.

As soon as the door opened, the retainers behind Ren Cheng immediately rushed in, searching everywhere in the room.

Because Ye Kong had set up a formation, the retainers didn't find anything wrong, and Ren Cheng only glanced at it casually, finding that there was no one in the room.

“If there's no one, what are you still checking for! Can't you see! A bunch of good-for-nothings!” Ren Cheng's anger flared up for no reason, and he directly cursed at the retainers.

The retainers all lowered their heads, not daring to respond.

Just as Ren Cheng was leading the retainers out of the room, the waiter who was watching the show noticed that there was no one in the room and became suspicious.

“Huh?”

The sharp-eared Ren Cheng heard the waiter's voice, immediately stopped, turned around, and walked up to the waiter.

“What are you wondering about?”

Faced with Ren Cheng's questioning, the waiter was a little nervous. In addition, he had just seen Ren Cheng's outburst, and the waiter's legs couldn't help but tremble.

“I… I,”

Seeing the waiter stuttering and unable to say anything,

Ren Cheng grabbed the waiter's collar, his face twisted, his eyes fierce.

“Speak!”

Ren Cheng's questioning frightened the waiter, his legs weakened, and he knelt down completely.

The waiter trembled as he kowtowed in fear.

“Young Master Ren, spare me, I'll tell you everything!”

“I remember when I went upstairs today, I saw a few people enter this room, but it seems like no one has ever come out since then, but…”

The waiter didn't continue speaking, but Ren Cheng obviously knew something.

Ren Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked at the room that had just been searched.

Ren Cheng rushed into the room full of hostility, scanning the entire room.

After hearing the waiter's words, Ren Cheng casually glanced in the direction of the window and found that there were no signs of it being opened.

Could it be that there is something here that confuses the naked eye?

Ren Cheng thought to himself, the spiritual energy in his body was slowly being activated.

He had already cultivated to the Perfect Semi-God Realm, and he could still use his divine sense to investigate ordinary formations.

But he wandered around the room for a while, and his divine sense couldn't find anything.

Could it be that he was wrong?

Ren Cheng's expression was a little serious. He looked at the empty room and turned to leave.

But just as he reached the door, Ren Cheng didn't believe it and suddenly gathered the spiritual energy in his body into a beam of spiritual power in his palm.

Ren Cheng suddenly turned around and randomly shot a beam of light at a corner of the room.

“Bang!”

Ye Kong's formation was not easily explored by divine sense, but it was extremely easy to be broken open.

This attack directly destroyed the structure of the formation, Ye Kong's formation failed, Zhang Tie and the others were meditating on the other side of the room, but their figures were exposed.

When he saw the few people appear out of thin air, a triumphant smile appeared on Ren Cheng's face.

“Men, arrest these people for me!” Ren Cheng ordered without hesitation, regardless of whether these people were the ones he was looking for.

Zhang Tie and the four were still in deep meditation and did not know the situation outside.

But Ye Kong heard the sound of Ren Cheng's attack from the crowd.

Not good! They've been discovered!

Ye Kong tapped his toes and flew directly towards the location of that room.

Ren Cheng turned his head and happened to see Ye Kong appearing in the room at this time.

The two happened to meet face to face.

Ren Cheng immediately realized that the person in front of him must be with them.

“Men! Arrest him too!”

With Ren Cheng's order, the retainers surrounded Ye Kong.

Ye Kong looked around. When he saw Ren Cheng, whose clothes were different from the retainers'.

He should be the Second Young Master of the Ren family.

“What are you waiting for! Get him!” Ren Cheng pointed angrily at Ye Kong.

The retainers obeyed the order and immediately took out a yellow talisman.

The lower left corner of the yellow talisman was also printed with a red character—Ren.

The talisman-using Ren family, that's interesting. Ye Kong looked at the surrounding retainers with disdain.

He wanted to see how powerful the Ren family's talismans were.

In the next second, the retainers chanted in unison.

“Heaven and earth net, capture everything within!”

Everyone simultaneously cast spells with their hands, throwing out the talismans in their hands in sync.

The talismans flashed with dazzling golden light, but in the next instant, the talismans flashed in the room, transforming into a huge golden net.

The golden net was cast down on Ye Kong.

Ye Kong didn't panic at all, not dodging or avoiding, just watching them.

The retainers used their magic fingers to control the golden net to capture Ye Kong.

“Hahahaha, if I catch you, I'll take you back and hand you over to the Xu family, and you'll be finished!”

Ren Cheng couldn't help but laugh, imagining that if he took Ye Kong and the others back, Xu Zhi would give him a grateful look. Thinking of this, Ren Cheng's eyes became a little obscene.

The corners of Ye Kong's lips curled into a playful arc.

Ye Kong's eyes suddenly changed, instantly becoming incomparably sharp.
