Chapter 28: Conversation in Prison
I failed to get any rewards from Dongfang Bubai.
This instantly wiped out the little interest Cao Feng had in it.
I wanted to go back to my residence to digest this reward.
But on second thought, I felt that it was a little inappropriate.
No matter what, he was the one who brought the person back to the government office.
It's really unacceptable to throw it aside right after using it.
What's more, he is a powerful master.
It is only right and reasonable for Cao Feng to entertain them well.
"Has the cold poison in Dongfang Sect Leader been completely eliminated? I am not very talented, but my cultivation method is pretty good, so maybe I can help a little."
Cao Feng thought about it and decided to help Dongfang Bubai heal his injuries first.
The cold poison of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm is extremely difficult to deal with.
Even someone as strong as Zhang Sanfeng would find this difficult.
Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Wuji was too young and too fragile.
He simply couldn't withstand Zhang Sanfeng's true energy.
But it also indirectly shows how powerful the cold poison is!
With Dongfang Bubai's strength, he is naturally not afraid of the cold poison of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm.
But the Sunflower Manual is a feminine martial art. Even if Dongfang Bubai has strong internal energy, it will probably take a lot of time to dissolve the cold poison.
Cao Feng, on the other hand, is different.
Although his realm is far inferior to Dongfang Bubai, his Xiantian Gong is moderate and peaceful, tending towards the pure Yang style.
It is the kind of martial art that cannot be practiced to the highest level unless one is a virgin.
When it comes to dealing with the cold poison, it is actually much easier than Dongfang Bubai.
……
Dongfang Bubai could feel Cao Feng's kindness, but she didn't intend to appreciate it.
She never likes to owe favors to others.
The cold poison is indeed a bit troublesome, but it will only take a few days of seclusion to cure it.
There is no need to owe anyone a favor because of this.
Dongfang Bubai's beautiful eyes moved, scanning Cao Feng's face, and chuckled, "This sect leader doesn't take a little bit of cold poison seriously, but you, sir, are you not going to reveal your true appearance?"
Cao Feng's disguise skills are very sophisticated, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to detect them.
But at such a close distance, it is difficult to hide from the eyes of a master.
It’s not that there is a flaw in Cao Feng’s disguise technique.
This is because the world seen by a great master is completely different from that seen by ordinary people.
With just a little attention, you can notice the sense of incongruity caused by the disguise.
Cao Feng thought about it and decided not to be pretentious. He waved his hand to wipe off the disguise powder and soon returned to his original appearance.
Dongfang Bubai stared at him and blinked.
Suddenly his expression changed, and he asked in a cold voice: "Are you... Young Master Feng from the East Factory?"
Cao Feng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "We have never met before. May I ask, Master Dongfang, how did you recognize me?"
Ever since being found by Cao Zhengchun, Cao Feng has been living in seclusion.
People in the martial arts world may have never even heard of Cao Feng's name.
Anyone who can recognize Cao Feng at a glance is most likely related to the imperial court!
hum! ~
The Spring Thunder Sword on his back fell into his hand. Cao Feng looked at Dongfang Bubai calmly, waiting for his answer.
Dongfang Bubai pursed his lips slightly, his eyes became colder, and he said disdainfully: "With your mediocre skills, do you really think you can stop this leader?"
Cao Feng shook his head and said calmly, "Less than 30% sure."
Then, without waiting for Dongfang Bubai to speak, he continued, "Gripping the knife was just an instinctive reaction. Cao has no plans to fight with Dongfang Cult Master for the time being."
"As for you, the leader... you won't do anything to Cao either."
"Oh?" Dongfang Bubai asked with interest, "I am a little curious, why are you so sure that I will not attack you?"
Cao Feng frowned, not wanting to answer such a stupid question.
But considering that he also had questions to ask, he finally explained: "You and I have no grudges against each other. Even if the East Factory has a bad reputation, what does it have to do with you, Dongfang Bubai?
I haven't offended you. If you are still sane, you won't risk being hunted down by my uncle and foolishly attack me."
"By the way, my uncle is about to enter the realm of Grandmaster. He can go anywhere in the world!"
The news that Cao Zhengchun was about to break through made Dongfang Bubai, who had little killing intent to begin with, completely give up the idea of taking action.
After calming down a little, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
I don't know why I reacted so strongly after knowing Cao Feng's identity, and even showed hostility at the first moment.
"Because you have good intentions and care about the people, you instinctively want to get rid of me, the 'scourge'!"
Cao Feng seemed to see through Dongfang Bubai's doubts and said in a joking tone.
Then, he asked in a relaxed tone: "Tell me, how did you recognize me?"
Since Dongfang Bubai did not attack Cao Feng immediately, it means that he should have nothing to do with the imperial court.
There must be some other reason why he could be recognized.
The change in Cao Feng's attitude seemed to break some kind of barrier.
Influenced by Cao Feng, Dongfang Bubai also became much more casual.
He flicked his sleeves, cleared an area on the ground, and sat down gracefully.
Then, he raised his hand and asked Cao Feng for some wine.
The cold poison in her body had not yet been eliminated, which inevitably made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she wanted to relieve it with strong liquor.
Cao Feng himself was not fond of drinking, but he always carried a gourd of homemade medicinal wine around his waist in case of emergency.
Now Dongfang Bubai wants to drink.
While Cao Feng ordered the jailer to fetch some wine, he threw the wine gourd over.
Dongfang Bubai didn't shy away from it. He pulled out the cork, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
There is a boldness in his posture.
After drinking half a gourd of medicinal wine in one gulp, Dongfang Bubai blinked, blushed, and asked with his hands covering his mouth: "Hmm...what kind of wine is this?"
"I brew it myself, and I don't have a name for it."
Cao Feng said casually with a smile in his eyes.
This medicinal wine specially made by Cao Feng has the effect of healing wounds, but it is also very strong.
Normally, I only take a sip when I need to refresh myself.
I have never dared to drink as heavily as Dongfang Bubai.
"Damn it, this guy must have done it on purpose, just to make fun of me!"
Dongfang Bubai was secretly resentful.
If she hadn't reacted quickly and used her true Qi to neutralize the alcohol in time, she would have been embarrassed in front of Cao Feng.
"Hmph!~"
Dongfang Bubai snorted and didn't want to talk about wine anymore for the time being.
So I chose to answer Cao Feng’s previous question: “Actually, it’s not difficult to recognize your identity.”
Cao Feng immediately pretended to listen attentively.
Dongfang Bubai raised his lips slightly, as if he was very satisfied, and continued: "Wudang's Tiyunzong, Southern Shaolin's Breaking the Rules Sword Technique, and the Xiantian Gong of the Quanzhen Sect of the Great Song Dynasty, all of these martial arts have extraordinary origins."
"It's hard for people not to think about it when it happens to the same person at the same time."
"Of course, if that's all, it's just some guesswork at best. The real reason I recognized you was actually this Spring Thunder Blade!"
"And...your unforgettable eyes."
The last sentence is a bit difficult to say.
Therefore, Dongfang Bubai did not say it out loud.
In fact, this was the reason why she recognized Cao Feng. Everything before that was nonsense!
