No Second Thoughts
"If you lie to me, you'll know what it means to wish you were dead."
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng felt a chill run down his spine.
Since Su Zhan appeared, he seemed to be very reasonable and easy to talk to. But when Su Zhan said the words "worse than death," he suddenly realized that Su Zhan was definitely not just saying it.
Su Zhan truly possessed such abilities, Gu Feng nodded immediately without hesitation.
"Don't worry, I would never lie to you."
"As long as you can guarantee my safety, I will never lie."
Gu Feng remained clear-headed. He knew he had helped the wrong people. Now Su Zhan and his group were looking for him, and those people might make a move later. His priority now was his team, while the other side was clearly in danger.
When Su Zhan accepted him, choosing to stand on Su Zhan's side was the best option for him.
At least, it can give me a chance to survive.
Su Zhan didn't say anything more, and left with High Antiquity Feng. When he brought Gu Feng to Palace Master Xiao wasn't surprised at all.
Su Zhan could always do things that others couldn't.
"Palace Master Xiao, would you be willing to leave Gu Feng here?"
"He's very worried about his safety. If you can keep him here, he'll be willing to tell you exactly why he'll need his help to Refining the Mask."
Su Zhan straight to the point.
Actually, if the other party wasn't Palace Master Xiao, he wouldn't have asked for their help; he was afraid of implicating them.
Palace Master Xiao is smart enough, capable enough, and shrewd enough. If Gu Feng is entrusted to Palace Master Xiao, he believes that Palace Master Xiao can protect Gu Feng well, and also protect himself. But if it is entrusted to someone else, it is not so certain.
He wouldn't let Palace Master Xiao remain in danger indefinitely; he would eliminate the person who attacked him as soon as possible, and then everything would be resolved.
Palace Master Xiao glanced at the anxious Gu Feng and slowly spoke.
"It's not impossible, but I can't leave him here for nothing."
Su Zhan was quite surprised upon hearing this.
He didn't think that Palace Master Xiao would ask him for any benefits.
He didn't speak, waiting for Palace Master Xiao to continue.
"If you are willing to Refining treasures for me, I can let you stay temporarily."
"Look at the nervous Gu Feng," said Palace Master Xiao.
Gu Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Of course, since Palace Master Xiao is willing to take me in, I certainly won't let you give for nothing."
It was just Artifact Refining; for him, it was quite simple.
He was willing to stay in a much safer place simply by helping with the Artifact Refining.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhan understood what Palace Master Xiao meant.
It turns out that he not only wanted to keep Gu Feng temporarily, but also wanted to keep Gu Feng to help with Artifact Refining indefinitely, which would be a good thing for both Gu Feng and Palace Master Xiao.
"Now, Palace Master Xiao has agreed to your request."
"Hurry up and tell me, who exactly did you Refining the Mask for?"
"Remember, you can't lie, or you know the consequences, Mr. Gu."
Hun Tianlong spoke impatiently.
Gu Feng dared not delay, believing that Palace Master Xiao would not go back on his word once he had agreed, and immediately spoke up.
"It's the Miao Miao Palace."
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Xiao immediately looked at Su Zhan.
"I've mentioned this Miao Miao Palace before."
"They do no good, but commit all sorts of bad deeds. If you give them enough benefits, they'll take advantage of anyone. And they're quite capable; they've existed for thousands of years, and very few people are willing to offend them."
Su Zhan frowned upon hearing this.
He wasn't afraid, but he was very puzzled.
