"Don't call me 'Lord,' just call me Chu Feng," Chu Feng said with a faint smile.
"Lord Chu Feng, you... you've brought reinforcements, haven't you? Are you here to destroy my Tang family?" the maid asked.
"With the current bunch in the Tang family? I won't kill them. I, Chu Feng, don't kill the weak," Chu Feng shook his head. The people remaining in the Tang family were, to him, utterly powerless, and he wouldn't kill such people.
"Lord Chu Feng, you truly are a good person! Then can you... can you please save my young miss?" the maid pleaded with Chu Feng.
"Your young miss—are you referring to Tang Ying?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, it's my young miss, Tang Ying," the maid said.
"What happened to Tang Ying? Tell me everything in detail," Chu Feng instructed.
The maid didn't hide anything and recounted the entire sequence of events to Chu Feng.
"Ha! Tang Haichuan, you've really got some nerve. To preserve the Tang family, you'd even sacrifice your own daughter," Chu Feng's eyes flared with anger after learning what had transpired.
As it turned out, after Chu Feng's escape that day, Elder Yuan Zhen, though furious at the Tang and Cao families for letting Chu Feng get away, hadn't broken his word. He had genuinely mediated peace between the Tang and Cao families, even making the Cao family compensate the Tang family with a large sum of resources while ceding several territories.
Though the Tang family had suffered significant losses in that great battle, the benefits they gained far outweighed the damages.
For the Tang family, it could truly be considered a blessing in disguise. However, Elder Yuan Zhen had one condition: the head of the Tang family must marry his youngest daughter, Tang Ying, to the youngest son of the head of the Cao family—the idiot.
Faced with this choice, the Tang family head had hesitated not at all before choosing to preserve the Tang family by selling off his own daughter.
And as fate would have it, the alliance ceremony between the Tang and Cao families was to be held in just a few days. At that ceremony, Tang Ying would formally marry into the Cao family.
"Lord Chu Feng, the reason Elder Yuan Zhen took a dislike to my young miss was precisely because she spoke up on your behalf that day."
"Now, my young miss has been abandoned by everyone. The people closest to her have all betrayed her."
"The only person who can save my young miss now is you, Lord Chu Feng."
"I beg you, Lord Chu Feng, please, you must save my young miss!"
"If she truly marries into the Cao family this time, her fate will be utterly uncertain. Those people in the Cao family will certainly torment her terribly!"
"After all, Cao Yuxuan was killed by you, and everyone in the Cao family knows that your relationship with my young miss was more than ordinary. They will definitely take out all their resentment on her!" At this point, the maid suddenly dropped to her knees before Chu Feng with a thud, tears already streaming down her face.
"You are very loyal to your young miss. Rest assured, I will bring her out of there."
"But you must not tell anyone you saw me. Just act as though I never appeared, otherwise it will do you no good."
As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, the maid was about to look up in gratitude, only to discover in shock that Chu Feng had already vanished. However, floating in the spot where he had stood was a Universe Bag.
Taking the Universe Bag, the maid's expression froze, for the treasures and treasures within it were things she could never hope to obtain in her entire lifetime.

Chu Feng traveled with incredible speed and finally reached the Cao family just before the wedding between the Tang and Cao families.
For this wedding, the Cao family was extending a grand welcome to guests. Not only had nearby factions arrived, but people from the Lu Yang Pavilion had come as well, naturally including Elder Yuan Zhen.
Tomorrow was the day of the alliance between the Tang and Cao families, and also the day Tang Ying would marry into the Cao family.
