"Shi San, is there any news about Jiang Feng?"

Shi Kun's face was gloomy and he finally seized an excuse to attack Ding Mu. Unexpectedly, Ding Mu was so difficult and he was unwilling to give in at all. Since that was the case, he could only summon people and attack Ding Mu.

"Young City Lord Qi Bing, I just got the news. Jiang Feng left in a hurry at noon yesterday, and I don't know where he went." Shi San said.

"I left at noon yesterday? Why?" Shi Kun asked again.

Shi San hesitated and said, "The specific reason is not clear, but someone saw that Jiang Feng, Cao Zhen and Cao Sheng went to Hefeng Town to find Ding Mu yesterday morning, and then Jiang Feng hurriedly retreated, but Cao Zhen and Cao Sheng were killed. So I suspect that Jiang Feng might have left because he was afraid of Ding Mu's revenge."

"What did you say?!"

Shi Kun was stunned, "Jiang Feng left because he was afraid of Ding Mu's revenge?"

Shi San nodded, "According to the information currently available, this is the only one possible."

Shi Kun took a deep breath and looked at Liu Ding, "Master Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Ding's face was also ugly. He didn't expect that it would be the result. He pondered for a moment and said, "Young City Lord, if Jiang Feng really left because he was afraid of Ding Mu's revenge, then we have to re-measure Ding Mu's strength. He can make Jiang Feng, the second level of the Immortal Lord, feel scared, and even dare not continue to stay in Guangwu City. This shows that the combat power Ding Mu can exert at least be comparable to the power of the Immortal Lord's third level!"

Shi Kun was about to nod, but Shi San said again: "Young City Lord, there is another news. Some people say that Jiang Feng's cultivation has broken through to the third level of the Immortal Lord."

"What? Jiang Feng is the third level of the Immortal Lord's cultivation? Are you sure?" Shi Kun couldn't help asking.

"Wu Tai looks like he is fine, but in fact he has been injured. This is also the news I inquired from the Wu family. Only Jiang Feng can injure Wu Tai, so Jiang Feng is likely to really break through to the third level of the Immortal Lord." Shi San said truthfully.

Shi Kun took a deep breath and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Liu Ding also had the same feeling. They thought they could deal with Ding Mu by joining Jiang Feng, but they didn't expect that even Jiang Feng was scared away by Ding Mu. How could they fight Ding Mu?

"Young City Lord, otherwise, please come forward?"

"No!!" Shi Kun immediately refused, "If I can't handle this matter independently, my father will doubt my ability. I cannot accept the consequences."

Liu Ding was silent. The so-called unacceptable consequence of Shi Kun was actually that his young city lord's status was threatened, because in addition to him, Shi Hui also had a young son, three years younger than Shi Kun, but he was not inferior to Shi Kun in terms of cultivation and ability. More importantly, his younger brother had a good reputation in Guangwu City. If Shi Kun's ability was questioned, he might be considered by Shi Hui to be unsuitable for taking over as the city lord and shifted the focus of his training to his younger brother.

But at this time, they and Ding Mu had reached a point where they could not be good. If he could not solve Ding Mu's problem successfully and was suppressed by Ding Mu, not only would Shi Kun leave an impression of insufficient ability in Shi Hui's eyes, but it would also seriously damage his prestige in Guangwu City.

Liu Ding really wanted to talk about the interests in Shi Kun, but thinking of Shi Kun's previous attitude towards him and his current relationship with Shi Kun, he wisely kept silent.

Sometimes, it may not be a good thing to say right. If you say less, you can make fewer mistakes. As long as you don’t make any mistakes, there will be no major problems.

When he returned to the city lord's mansion, Tang Ying came out and saw Shi Kun's face gloomy. He knew that things were going well. He wisely did not ask, but took Shi Kun's arm attentively, "Thank you for your hard work in the young city lord. I've stewed you a thousand-year-old ginseng soup. Let's go to the room to have some soup first."

Shi Kun was originally worried that Tang Ying would ask about the Cao family and didn't know how to answer. Unexpectedly, Tang Ying didn't mention it at all, and even her mood did not change at all because of Tang Luo's death. Her mood also became relaxed. She smiled and said, "Okay, this is the first time I've tasted your skills, so I have to drink more."

While speaking, Shi Kun walked into the city lord's mansion with Tang Ying's waist and did not pay attention to Liu Ding. Liu Ding was very sensible and did not follow in, but returned to the Liu family.

Even Shi Kun is not concerned about Ding Mu anymore, what else can he worry about?

After returning to the Liu family, a man in black appeared in Liu Ding's room, knelt on one knee, and whispered: "Master, everything goes well."

Liu Ding nodded, "I've done a good job. I've seen it. Remember, when this matter is over, we will clean Cao Xin's body and don't let anyone see the clues."

"yes!"

Liu Ding showed a sneer on his face and asked again: "How many times have Tang Ying taken the medicine?"

"Four times, if you accept it again, she will fall into the control of her master."

"It's great. Find an opportunity to ask Tang Ying to take the medicine again, but be careful. The masters of the City Lord's Mansion are no longer exposed."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!"

"Okay, go down."

...

Ding Mu did not take Shi Kun's threat at all. After sending Shi Kun and others, he took Wu Qiong and Lin Shihui back to the room.

Lin Shihui has taken Qi Gathering Pill, and her cultivation speed has been significantly improved. In addition, there are many treasures of heaven and earth and pills that assist in cultivation in the Cao family's warehouse. Ding Mu intends to take advantage of this time to make Lin Shihui's cultivation break through to the realm of Peeping the Sky. Combined with the fusion array technique and her attainment in formation, her combat power will inevitably be significantly improved, and she has some self-protection strength.

As noon approached, Peng Qiu came over, "Mr. Ding Mu, Shi Gang is here, I'm going to see you."

"Shi Gang?"

Ding Mu was curious. Another person with the surname Shi, what does it have to do with the City Lord’s Mansion?

Peng Qiu explained: "Shi Gang is Shi Kun's younger brother, but he is a illegitimate child. Although he is not inferior to Shi Kun in terms of cultivation and ability, and has a good reputation in Guangwu City, he is always inferior to Shi Kun in terms of status. I think he is here this time, and it is likely to be a good friend."

"Is that so? Then let him in."

Soon, two young men, one man and one woman, walked in. The man was 1.8 meters tall, with outstanding appearance, and a warm smile on his face, giving people a very gentle feeling. The woman was 1.65 meters tall, with a graceful figure and sweet appearance. When she smiled, she had two dimples on her face, which looked quite cute.

"In Xia Shi Gang, this is Shi Tong, a girl from the house. I have met Mr. Ding Mu."

Ding Mu nodded slightly, "Please come in, please come in, both of you."

When he entered the house and sat down, Lin Shihui naturally sat beside Ding Mu and made tea for everyone. Although she said nothing, her every move declared that she was Ding Mu's woman, so she warned some people not to have thoughts that they should not have.

Lin Shihui's thoughts could not be hidden from Ding Mu. Ding Mu just smiled and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Shi Gang and asked, "What's wrong with you here?"

Shi Gang smiled and said, "Everyone says Mr. Ding Mu is quick-talking and doesn't like to beat around the bush, so I'll just say it. I'm here this time to make friends with Mr. Ding Mu."

"In order to compete for the position of the young city lord?" Ding Mu was much more direct than Shi Gang.

Shi Gang was not afraid of this topic and nodded, "If I don't have this intention, I don't have to come to see the teacher, what do you think?"

"Yes, it's a good thing to have ambition, at least you have a clear goal." Ding Mu changed his mind, "But you should know the conflict between me and Shi Kun. If you come to me at this time, aren't you afraid of being pursued?"

Shi Gang smiled and said, "Shi Kun only represents himself, not the City Lord's Mansion. Similarly, I came here only represents myself. Even if I had a good relationship with my husband, there was nothing unacceptable to any conflict with Shi Kun, because there would be a contest between Shi Kun and me sooner or later."
