When Tarrou heard what Wan Shufang meant, he should have been angry or even retorted, but after his previous conversation with Wan Shufang, he knew clearly what kind of temper Wan Shufang had.

So not only was he not angry, he also said in a gentle tone: "Iron ore is originally ownerless. Whoever can grab it will be its owner."

Wan Shufang was unsure of his intention, but she still smiled and said, "So that's what you were thinking. No wonder you wanted to take me away."

Ye Yun's heart started beating wildly when he heard this, but he asked, "Didn't he take advantage of you because of what Yang Caiwei said?"

Wan Shufang nodded: "I did think so before, but I don't think so now, because Tarrou's reaction is very unusual. If I guessed correctly, Yang Caiwei did say something unfavorable to me in front of him, but he didn't want Yang Caiwei to benefit, he just wanted to be the first."

Hearing her confident tone, as if she was a worm in his stomach, knowing exactly what he was thinking, Tarrou felt a little embarrassed and veins popped out on his forehead.

Wan Shufang saw his expression change and said with a look of melancholy: "In your mind, iron ore is more important than food and fodder?"

Tarrou tried to suppress his expression and said calmly, "What do you want to do? Or what do you want from me to be willing to come with me?"

Hearing his blunt words, Xia Feng and the Eighth Prince's faces turned extremely ugly.

The two moved their lips slightly, as if they were about to speak to stop Tarrou, but Ye Yun smiled and said, "What Wan Shufang wants is very simple, and we can afford it as long as we are willing. Unfortunately, Wan Shufang is destined to be our enemy, so even if we know what she wants, we are unwilling to fulfill her wish."

Ye Yun said this lightly, but the deep meaning in his words was to remind Taru to be more cautious and not do something that he would regret for the rest of his life just for the sake of immortality.

Tarrou realized what he was thinking and snorted coldly: "The fact that I asked Wan Shufang this means that I have already compromised. Why are you butting in?"

He quickly looked at Ye Yun, and then he didn't know what he was thinking of, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face, "I heard that Tu Zhizhi is also in Wuling Mountain, so where is she now? Didn't the Eighth Prince choose to cooperate with her? Why didn't the Eighth Prince let her get involved in such an important matter today?"

The fact that Tu Zhizhi was killed by Xia Feng had long been blocked by the Eighth Prince and Ye Yun.

Now that Taru asked about Tu Zhizhi, Ye Yun instantly suspected that he had learned about Tu Zhizhi's death.

"Senior Taru is really good at joking." Ye Yun smiled brightly, as if Taru's suspicion did not enter his heart.

When the Eighth Prince heard what Tarrou said, his heart skipped a beat. He was about to open his mouth to refute Tarrou, but when Ye Yun's words came out, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Tarrou noticed the changes in their expressions and sneered in his heart, but he said calmly: "I do like to joke, but I dare not joke in front of you."

Hearing his certain tone, Ye Yun immediately concluded that Taru knew about Tu Zhizhi and was mentioning it now in order to threaten them.

Xia Feng also understood everything immediately. In order to protect the Eighth Prince, she said bluntly: "Taru, greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. These words are the most favorite words of the Han people. I give them to you now, and I hope you can be careful with your words and actions."

"Didn't you hate Han Chinese the most before?" Tarrou laughed coldly. "When you were researching Phoenix Gu in the Gu tribe, you liked to torture Han Chinese the most. The Gu tribe leader at that time was worried that the incident at the end of the previous dynasty would happen again, so he tried to persuade you earnestly."

"But not only did you not listen to him, you also used your superb Gu skills to kill him. So when the truth was revealed by his daughter, you became a traitor to the Gu tribe and were driven out by the tribe."

"In the past forty years, you have rarely returned to the Gu Clan, but the gossip that you have been continuously using Han people to study Phoenix Gu has reached our ears."

"That's why when the Gu tribe was destroyed, we all thought it was your idea, Xia Feng. You are so cruel and vicious, and even the Han people would despise you if your deeds were spread. How could you choose to be loyal to the Han emperor?"

Tarrou said this lightly, but the meaning revealed in his words was like a storm, instantly making Wan Shufang and others' minds go blank.

Using Han people to study Phoenix Gu? Xia Feng is an even more ruthless executioner than Chang Xuewei.

As Wan Shufang was thinking, she glared at Xia Feng with hatred on her face. If looks could kill, she would have wanted to cut Xia Feng, the unforgivable sinner, into pieces with her eyes.

"When did you start studying Phoenix Gu?" the Eighth Prince asked coldly.

He valued Xia Feng and was willing to abandon Wan Shufang according to her wishes, but he was a Han Chinese. Faced with Xia Feng's past of massacring Han Chinese, he wished he could stab her to death with a knife. How could he tolerate her living?

"He is slandering me." Xia Feng listened to the Eighth Prince's questioning, and she wanted to poison Taru in her heart, but her face was full of grievance. "Taru, I have no grudge against you, why are you accusing me so falsely?"

Seeing that she was still trying to disguise herself at this time, Tarrou said angrily: "You became interested in Phoenix Gu when you were sixteen, and since you were seventeen, you have been using Han people to make Phoenix Gu."

"The reason you studied Phoenix Gu is because your parents died tragically, and their deaths were related to you, so you wanted to use Phoenix Gu to revive them."

"But as time went by, you indulged yourself in the pleasure of controlling the lives of Han people. Your behavior became more and more crazy, and you forgot your original intention. The leader of the Gu tribe saw your thoughts and became cruel to you. But he didn't expect you to be so crazy that you would even kill him."

Before, Tarrou wanted to save some face for Xia Feng and prevent her from being completely despised by these Han people in front of him, but Xia Feng's reaction was so infuriating that he couldn't stand it, so he exposed everything Xia Feng had done at once.

He never expected that as soon as he finished speaking, the Eighth Prince took out a dagger in a rage and stabbed Xia Feng in the heart.

"You inhumane woman, how could I believe your lies? Did you use Phoenix Gu to control me?"

The Eighth Prince became angrier as he spoke, and the strength in his hands became stronger.

"You want to kill me?" Xia Feng felt the pain in his chest and was very surprised.

However, Ye Yun also took action. His strength was even greater than that of the Eighth Prince. Xia Feng was severely injured and his body was shaky.

"I can't die. If I die, the Phoenix Gu buried in Wuling Mountain will turn all the people in Bashu and Yongzhou City into living dead."

Xia Feng felt her life slipping away, and her heart was tense, but she quickly blurted out a shocking piece of news.

"Are you still trying to lie? I won't fall for it again." The Eighth Prince said angrily.

Xia Feng's eyes were extremely cold, and her voice was extremely chilly: "Then do you dare to bet with me? Eighth Prince, I also have a Phoenix Gu in my body, so the damage you and Ye Yun have done to me will only turn me into a living dead, not kill me."

As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Wan Shufang and sneered, "There is no antidote for Phoenix Gu, so do you dare to gamble?"
