Chapter 1102 I Didn't Kill Anyone
Lu Fang quickly leaned close to Duan Erye's ear.
"Second Master, we haven't seen Mr. Mu Chuan."
"Oh, come inside and let's talk."
In the main hall of the Duan family, dozens of mahogany chairs were neatly arranged, and near the center of the hall was a huge mahogany desk covered with a red cloth.
It appears bright and eye-catching.
A wooden tray was placed on a red cloth, on which was a scroll of documents and a gold plaque.
The Duan family, young and old, all stood by the main hall. As Second Master Duan took his seat, the others followed suit and found their places to sit down.
Only Duan San Niang remained standing in the middle.
Of course, to her left stood Wood Face, and to her right stood Song Chen, with Third Sister's guard captain behind her.
This was Lin Feng's instruction before he left: Second Master Duan is cunning, and Third Sister Duan has entered the mansion; there is no room for error.
These three people must provide close protection at all times.
Because Lin Feng did not sense the presence of other cultivators, and Duan San Niang was accompanied by Mu Tou Lian and Song Chen, it would be difficult for ordinary martial arts masters to defeat them.
Since entering his own courtyard, Master Duan's face had lost its smile. He sat blankly in the main seat with a gloomy expression, not saying a word.
Lu Fang stood beside him, scanning the Duan family members.
After a long silence, Master Duan finally spoke.
"Today, I, Duan Enji, have decided to hand over all of the Duan family's businesses to Duan Jingqiu. From now on, Duan Jingqiu will be the head manager of the Duan family. Does anyone have anything to say?"
The dozen or so members of the Duan family remained silent.
Just as Master Duan was about to make the announcement, someone stood up.
"Father, I disagree."
Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Duan Mingli, the eldest son of the Duan family and the eldest son of Second Master Duan.
Duan Erye's emotions remained unchanged; he merely moved his lips and uttered a single word.
"explain."
"Father, uncles and elders, the Duan family has an eldest son, as well as a second and third brother. No matter how it is arranged, it is not her third aunt's turn to be the head of the Duan family. Is there any rule against this?"
Someone from the Duan family shouted, "Mingli, if you're allowed to manage this, you'd better have the ability!"
"Even if I don't have that ability, don't I still have my uncles, elder brothers, and younger brothers? Don't they all have that ability?"
Duan Mingli is aware of his shortcomings, but he doesn't try to find fault with them.
Another person said, "I think Third Sister is capable. Let's hand her over to someone else and not let her squander everything."
How do you know others can't do it?
"Even if you're good at it, I haven't seen you earn any money back."
"I didn't make any money back, but you did?"
"All you do is eat, drink, gamble, and whore; you can't do anything serious."
"You're talking nonsense! How am I not doing my job?"
"Hey, let's get down to business. Wasn't Third Sister kidnapped by bandits?"
"Yeah, you're back."
"Those were bandits, how much did it cost to ransom them?"
"You didn't spend any money, did you? It seems like you came back on your own."
"Heh heh, bandits? Didn't pay?"
"Third Sister is the most beautiful woman in Luo City..."
"you mean..."
"..."
Seeing that Master Duan remained silent, the hall immediately erupted in noise, with people discussing and even cursing at each other.
The entire lobby was in complete chaos.
Duan Jingqiu stood quietly, without arguing.
She heard everything Lin Feng said to Lu Fang at that time.
Anyway, if the head of the Duan family doesn't hand over the reins to her, her father won't be able to explain it to Mu Chuan later, so there's no point in her wasting her breath.
As for my innocence, there's no way to defend myself; the more I try to explain, the worse it gets. I might as well let them talk nonsense and wait until I have control of the business before considering anything else.
Master Duan frowned as he looked at the noisy hall, then suddenly roared.
"Shut up!"
Seeing the hall quiet down, everyone was stunned.
"My mind is made up. From now on, I must cooperate with Third Sister. I hope the Duan family will achieve even greater glory. Someone, bring me my official seal."
Someone walked quickly over, picked up a wooden tray from the desk, and came to Master Duan.
Master Duan said with a gloomy face, "Duan Jingqiu, step forward and take the seal."
Duan Jingqiu was overjoyed. It seemed that Mu Chuan's power had even frightened his own father.
Just as she was about to step forward, she heard an old voice coming from behind her.
"Wait a minute, Enji, today is not a good day. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
The entire hall fell silent; everyone remained quiet.
Duan Jingqiu recognized the voice as that of his grandfather, who had been living in seclusion in the backyard for many years.
But his prestige was unshakeable; as the patriarch of the Duan family, his words still carried considerable authority.
Master Duan turned around and bowed to him from a distance.
"Yes, Enji understands."
After saying that, he turned around and waved to Duan Jingqiu.
"You should go back to your room first; we can discuss this matter tomorrow."
Although Duan Jingqiu was disappointed, there was nothing he could do. The old man had spoken, and although he had only heard his voice and not seen his face, his words carried weight and could not be questioned by anyone in the Duan family.
Lin Feng had already crossed the tall city walls of Luocheng and arrived in the open field.
He hid throughout the city, but ultimately could not escape the pursuit of the cultivators behind him.
It's as if the other party has satellite positioning; no matter how well you hide, they can pinpoint your location in a very short time.
Left with no other option, Lin Feng had to compete with his opponent in speed and endurance, eventually crossing the city walls.
To his surprise, he couldn't outrun the other's speed and stamina. The black robe in mid-air drifted closer and closer, and he couldn't shake it off at all.
Finally, the two stopped their pursuit on the banks of the Yongding River, south of Los Angeles.
Lin Feng had already clearly seen the other person's appearance: a withered old man who was about to be buried, with loose skin covering his face and eyes that looked like they couldn't even open.
Meanwhile, Onijuro Shingo calmly leaned on his cane, standing less than five zhang away from Lin Feng, struggling to open his eyes a crack as he carefully scrutinized Lin Feng.
"Hehe, young man, to have such skill at such a young age is not easy to cultivate. I advise you to honestly hand over the treasure, and I may let you go."
Lin Feng was a little out of breath from running. Seeing the old man looking calm and not even breathing heavily, he felt that he was far inferior to him.
Today's events are a bit unpredictable.
"What treasure does the old man desire?"
Shingo Oni-maki chuckled.
"Boy, you dare to claim something from the Wunianliu Sect as your own? Don't you know what death means? Hehehe..."
Lin Feng immediately understood that the old man had followed him by the treasure on his body; he had sensed the aura of the treasure.
But how could the old man sense that the broken sword shared the same sentiment as him?
The things from the Munenryu school should be the Munenryu-ryu that Kuroda Shiki mentioned.
Could it be happening to me?
I don't feel anything.
“Old man, I have nothing on me except this broken sword, you should be able to tell that.”
At their level, under their consciousness scan, nothing hidden on their person can be concealed.
Shingo Oniju was also puzzled. This young man only had a broken sword and the clothes he was wearing.
What about the No-Thought Meteor of the No-Thought Flow Sect?
But I could truly feel the aura of the thoughtless meteor on this person.
"Boy, did you kill Tsuruta Cho?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Who is Tsuruta Cho? I didn't kill anyone."
