The moment Chu Feng appeared, the oppressive aura that the Ouyang Family Head had been pressing down upon Song Xi immediately dissipated.
As such, Aunt Jing was able to help Song Xi back onto his feet with ease.
"Chu Feng?" Upon seeing Chu Feng, Song Xi was stunned. He clearly hadn't expected Chu Feng to come rescue him.
"Song Xi, you really aren't being a good friend. How could you come all the way here by yourself without even saying a word to me?"
"Could it be that you don't actually consider me a brother?" Chu Feng asked Song Xi.
"Chu Feng, I..."
At that moment, Song Xi was incredibly embarrassed. It seemed like he wanted to explain something, but he didn't know where to start.
In the end, he actually lowered his head, no longer daring to meet Chu Feng's gaze.
Truthfully, before coming here, he had considered whether or not to bring Chu Feng along. After all, Chu Feng was a first-grade True Immortal.
With Chu Feng's help, let alone a mere Ouyang Family, even the Zhao Mansion would have been powerless against them.
However, he had also considered the intricate web of relationships involved.
The Ouyang Family and the Zhao Mansion were indeed no match for Chu Feng, but what about Zhao Zirong of the Zhao Mansion?
Behind Zhao Zirong stood the Taishan Gate. The strength of the Taishan Gate was something even Chu Feng couldn't afford to provoke.
Moreover, he had only met Chu Feng by chance, and the help Chu Feng had already given him was something he could never fully repay. He simply felt too ashamed to drag Chu Feng into his own family's problems.
After careful deliberation, he had ultimately decided to come here and settle the score with Wang Lianzhi on his own.
But that was simply because he didn't want to trouble Chu Feng further — it absolutely did not mean he didn't regard Chu Feng as a friend.
"Forget it, I know what you were thinking, so I'm not really angry with you," Chu Feng said as he walked over, patting Song Xi on the shoulder. "The poison in your mother's body has already been dispelled."
"Chu Feng, I... I... I truly don't know how to thank you."
"Please, accept my bow." Upon learning that his mother's poison had been removed, Song Xi was overwhelmed with emotion and moved to kneel before Chu Feng.
But Chu Feng grabbed him and pulled him back up. "Don't thank me yet. Tell me — how did you determine that the one who poisoned your mother was Wang Lianzhi?"
Truthfully, Chu Feng had caught up to Song Xi long ago. The reason he hadn't shown himself was that he wanted to see what Song Xi intended to do.
As such, Chu Feng had arrived at this place virtually alongside Song Xi, and had naturally heard everything Song Xi had said.
"It has to be her, it absolutely has to be her, because that poison... was something I gave to her! I gave her that poison so that she could help me trade it for something, but I never expected... that she would use it on my mother."
"I don't know why she would do such a thing, but it had to be her who used that poison. Afterwards, I asked her whether the poison had been traded away, but she told me she had accidentally lost it."
"Back then, I trusted her, so I didn't think much of it. But now that I think about it, she didn't lose the poison at all — she clearly used it on my mother."
"That woman is far too vicious. I was so good to her, so how could she do this to me?"
As he spoke these words, Song Xi's body was trembling. He was shaking with fury.
"Fine, I understand now. Leave the rest to me," Chu Feng said. With that, he turned his head and directed his gaze toward Wang Lianzhi.
Swoosh— Suddenly, Chu Feng swept his sleeve, and a gust of wind blew toward Wang Lianzhi, knocking the bridal veil clean off her head.
In that instant, Wang Lianzhi's face was revealed.
This Wang Lianzhi was indeed somewhat pretty, but only when compared to people like Song Xi.
For Chu Feng, who had seen countless beauties, a woman of Wang Lianzhi's appearance was simply beneath notice.
"Wang Lianzhi, will you confess everything on your own, or will I have to force it out of you?" Chu Feng said to Wang Lianzhi.
"Master, save me!" Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Lianzhi's face went pale with fright, and she hurriedly scurried behind the Ouyang Family Head.
It couldn't be blamed on her cowardice. Earlier— Chu Feng's appearance had been completely silent and imperceptible. She didn't know what level Chu Feng's cultivation was at, but she understood... that if Chu Feng wanted to deal with her, it would be effortlessly easy.
What's more, Chu Feng spoke with such domineering bluntness, showing absolutely no regard whatsoever for the Ouyang Family Head.
She was truly afraid — afraid that Chu Feng might actually strike her.
And the only person who could help her now was the Ouyang Family Head.
"Step aside." But before the Ouyang Family Head could even open his mouth, Chu Feng spoke to him first.
Chu Feng's voice was very calm, yet it was precisely this calm voice that caused the Ouyang Family Head's expression to turn deathly pale as well.
