"This is where your talent can come in handy. If you choose the wrong route, you will be attacked by the formation in the maze, which means it will be dangerous. But as long as you are prepared in advance, it will not be fatal. After blocking the attack of the formation, you will be teleported out of the maze and appear outside the gate.

Since you can sense danger in advance, it shouldn't be difficult for you to avoid all the dangerous wrong routes, right?" Sikong Hongyu stared at Xu Feng seriously and asked.

So that's how it is. Taoist Wuju's test is like this. No wonder Sikong Hongyu values ​​him.

But he didn't know whether the remaining medicinal talent in his body could allow him to pass ten levels in a row. Especially as time went by, this ability to sense danger was slowly fading.

"I can only promise to try my best." Xu Feng didn't dare to make such a boast.

"Well, you are just one of my backup plans. The maze test set by Taoist Wujiu cannot be opened at will. There are only five chances each time. After five failures, the maze will be temporarily closed, and it will take at least five years to reopen."

"I've failed once, and I don't want to wait another five years." Sikong Hongyu said in a firm voice. This was the first time she revealed her true feelings in front of Xu Feng.

Seeing this, Xu Feng was speechless for a while. After a long while, he asked, "So, when does it start?"

"My men are still working on something, which may take half a year at the shortest and a year at the longest. I will send someone to inform you when the time comes." Sikong Hongyu said.

"it is good."

Having said this, Sikong Hongyu stood up and prepared to leave.

"By the way, the slave girl you sent here was very stubborn at first, but now, she is only breathing her last breath. After all, she is yours, and I cannot deal with her on my own. Please send someone to take her away." Xu Feng said casually.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Hongyu's face darkened slightly.

"Your Soul Fiber Secret Technique consumes quite a lot of energy to use once, right? Take the person back with you. You can still use it the next time you want to turn someone into a puppet." Xu Feng's tone was calm, but there was still sarcasm in his words. Sikong Hongyu's face darkened.

She had already told him about the great opportunity of Wujiu Taoist, but she didn't expect Xu Feng to still hold on to it. What could she say? Take him back? Wouldn't that mean she really wanted to use the Soul Silk Secret Technique to enslave others?

Then what she said before, that the Soul-Filled Silk Secret Technique was just a test of Xu Feng's talent, wouldn't it be a complete lie?

"I'm just a servant. You can kill me or chop me up as you like!" Sikong Hongyu said in a cold tone, then strode away.

After Sikong Hongyu left, Xu Feng in the box finally breathed a sigh of relief. This tactic of retreating to advance finally worked, and it cleared Fu Yuehe of the suspicion of betraying her master. It was a pity that he couldn't ask Sikong Hongyu to remove Fu Yuehe's secret technique, otherwise he would be handing over his weakness.

……

After returning to the house, Xu Feng went to the inner courtyard first and met Fu Yuehe.

Fu Yuehe also knew who Xu Feng was going to meet and what he was going to do when he left the city. Xu Feng had told her in advance. The worst result would be that Xu Feng would completely turn against Sikong Hongyu and never come back. Fortunately, this did not happen.

"Brother Xu..." Fu Yuehe looked at Xu Feng nervously.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." Xu Feng walked forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.

After hearing Xu Feng's answer, Fu Yuehe finally felt relieved. She snuggled in Xu Feng's arms and felt more relaxed than ever before.

Xu Feng had a smile on his face, but he still felt heavy inside.

Fu Yuehe might not die, but according to the information he revealed to Sikong Hongyu, the relationship between the two must not be revealed too close, otherwise Sikong Hongyu might realize that Xu Feng played a trick on her. After all, a person who used a beauty trap and almost made him a puppet, even if Xu Feng allowed her to live, it should only make her suffer. The close relationship between the two of them was too unreasonable.

Although Fu Yuehe was considered as someone close to him, according to the Daoxin oath made by Sikong Hongyu, he was not allowed to harm her by any direct or indirect means, but it was better to conceal the truth as much as possible to prevent Sikong Hongyu from knowing it.

Unfortunately, due to the existence of the Soul Thread, he still couldn't touch Fu Yuehe, not even in this life. If he wanted to solve the problem once and for all, unless... A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of Xu Feng's eyes.

After that, Xu Feng's life returned to peace. He spent most of his time practicing, and occasionally talked with Fu Yuehe and spent some time with her. Xu Feng also specifically instructed the two maids who served her not to tell outsiders about Fu Yuehe's situation in the courtyard.

More than a month passed like this. One day, Manager Niu carried Miss Suying into Xu Feng Courtyard in a sedan chair.

It had been some time since the funeral of the old lady of the Sikong family. Since Sikong Hongyu had already made the decision to marry Miss Suying to Xu Feng, when the time came, Manager Niu easily took her out of the Sikong family mansion and sent her directly to Xu Feng.

Normally, the two of them would have had a wedding, but everyone involved in the matter knew what was going on, and not many people outside knew about it, so the matter was done quietly.

The person who was most happy about Miss Su Ying's arrival was Fu Yuehe. The two had a long-standing friendship, and now that they met again, they naturally had endless things to talk about. It was also the first time that Xu Feng met this former personal maid of the old lady of the Sikong family.

He is half a head taller than Fu Yuehe. He behaves in a generous and polite manner, neither humble nor arrogant. There is a smile on his face, and he looks like he is bathed in a spring breeze.

When she saw him for the first time, she did not show the shyness and uneasiness of an ordinary woman. Instead, she bowed to him gracefully and expressed her gratitude.

Compared to Fu Yuehe's youthful beauty, this Miss Su Ying is indeed steady and experienced, with the demeanor of someone from a big family.

According to the agreement, Miss Suying would bring a generous dowry. Manager Niu privately gave Xu Feng a brocade box, which contained a thank-you gift from Miss Suying to thank Xu Feng for saving her. However, Xu Feng thought for a moment and did not accept it, so he asked Manager Niu to return it to Miss Suying.

The condition was that she would manage the servants in the mansion from now on, and all the food, clothing and daily expenses of the people, including the monthly salary of the servants, would be her responsibility. Manager Niu was also considered an elder of Miss Suying, and this time he sent two maids again to serve Miss Suying. Xu Feng's condition was nothing, and Manager Niu agreed on the spot on behalf of Miss Suying.

Thus, three more people joined Xu Feng's small house, and life returned to normal.

However, with the arrival of Miss Su Ying, Xu Feng could no longer go to Fu Yuehe for warmth when he was free from cultivation. Fu Yuehe and Miss Su Ying lived and ate together, and were almost inseparable. Xu Feng seemed to be an outsider. However, when he saw the smile on her face, the slight discomfort in Xu Feng's heart disappeared in an instant.

However, as time went by, new problems arose.
