"Don't call me 'Master.' Just call me Chu Feng," Chu Feng said with a faint smile.
"Master Chu Feng, you... you've come with reinforcements, haven't you? Are you here to destroy my Tang Family?" the maidservant asked.
"The people left in the Tang Family now? I won't kill them. I, Chu Feng, do not kill the weak." Chu Feng shook his head. The remaining members of the Tang Family were, to him, utterly powerless, and he would not slay such people.
"Master Chu Feng, you truly are a kind person. Then... could you please save my young miss?" the maidservant pleaded with Chu Feng.
"Your young miss, is she Tang Ying?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, it is my young miss, Tang Ying," the maidservant replied.
"What has happened to Tang Ying? Tell me everything," Chu Feng asked.
The maidservant hid nothing, recounting the entire sequence of events to Chu Feng.
"Tang Haichuan, you truly have the nerve. To preserve the Tang Family, you would even sacrifice your own daughter," Chu Feng said, a surge of anger blazing in his eyes upon learning the truth.
It turned out that after Chu Feng's escape that day, although Elder Yuan Zhen was furious at the Tang and Cao families for letting Chu Feng go, he did not break his promise. He genuinely mediated a reconciliation between the Tang and Cao families, even arranging for the Cao family to compensate the Tang family with a large sum of resources and cede several territories.
Although the Tang family had suffered considerable losses in the great battle, the gains they obtained far outweighed those losses.
For the Tang family, this was truly a blessing in disguise. However, Elder Yuan Zhen had one condition: the head of the Tang family must betroth his youngest daughter, Tang Ying, to the youngest son of the head of the Cao family—that idiot.
Faced with this choice, the head of the Tang family did not hesitate for a second. He chose to preserve the family and sell off his own daughter.
Coincidentally, the alliance ceremony between the Tang and Cao families was set to take place in just a few days. At that ceremony, Tang Ying would officially be married into the Cao family.
"Master Chu Feng, the reason Elder Yuan Zhen took a dislike to my young miss is precisely because she spoke up for you that day."
"And now, my young miss has been abandoned by all. Those closest to her have betrayed her."
"Right now, the only person who can save my young miss is you, Master Chu Feng."
"Master Chu Feng, I beg you, I beg you, please save my young miss."
"If my young miss is truly married into the Cao family this time, her fate will be uncertain. The people of the Cao family will surely torture her in every way."
"After all, Cao Yuxuan was killed by you, and everyone in the Cao family knows that your relationship with my young miss was not ordinary. They will definitely take out their hatred on her." At these words, the maidservant knelt before Chu Feng with a thud, tears streaming down her face.
"You are truly loyal to your young miss. Rest assured, I will bring her out."
"But you must not tell anyone you have seen me. Just pretend I never appeared again. Otherwise, it will do you no good."
As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, the maidservant looked up to thank him, only to be shocked to find that Chu Feng had already vanished. However, floating in the spot where he had stood was a Universe Bag.
Taking the Universe Bag, the maidservant's expression froze for a moment. The treasures and wealth within this bag were things she could never hope to obtain in her entire lifetime.

Chu Feng traveled swiftly and arrived at the Cao family just before the alliance ceremony between the Tang and Cao families.
To celebrate this wedding, the Cao family was welcoming guests far and wide. Not only had nearby forces arrived, but even people from the Lu Yang Pavilion had come, including, of course, Elder Yuan Zhen.
Tomorrow would be the day the Tang and Cao families formalized their alliance—and also the day Tang Ying married into the Cao family.
