Willing to Pay
"I have never dealt with anyone from the Miao Miao Palace, nor have I offended them."
"Someone must have asked them to attack me, but who? I have no idea."
Su Zhan was not without enemies, but he dealt with them all.
Although there might be people secretly trying to get rid of him, he had no one in mind, couldn't think of anyone, and it seemed impossible for anyone to be the culprit.
Palace Master Xiao also found it strange.
Su Zhan has only been here for a short time, and he has already done favors for many people while offending very few. Even if someone is dissatisfied with Su Zhan, they can only endure it due to their strength and the current situation. Who would pay the price to ask the Miao Miao Palace to intervene? What kind of deep-seated hatred would drive someone to do that?
It's important to understand that mobilizing the Miao Miao Palace already comes at a great cost; attacking Su Zhan would likely incur an unimaginably high price.
Even if someone is willing to pay such a price, can't they just wait?
It would be easier to deal with Su Zhan the storm has passed, yet the fact that they are in such a hurry is truly strange.
Even with his exceptional intelligence, Palace Master Xiao could hardly fathom the hidden meaning behind it.
"Fine, whoever it is, we can just ask the people at the Miao Miao Palace."
Su Zhan spoke up.
Since I can't think of anything else, this is the only option.
Moreover, this is the simplest and most direct method.
Palace Master Xiao took out a map and marked the location of the Miao Miao Palace.
He then handed it to Su Zhan and spoke.
"Do you need me to arrange for someone to help you?"
"The Miao Miao Palace has a large number of people, which is bound to be a bit troublesome. You don't need to rely on yourself for everything."
Su Zhan shook his head.
He has already implicated some people.
If he were to ask Palace Master Xiao for help at this time, and if the Miao Miao Palace were to leave any survivors, endless trouble would await Palace Master Xiao in the future. It would be better for him to go himself, so that the Miao Miao Palace would only hold a grudge against him.
"Palace Master Xiao, there's no need to worry."
"I'll be careful."
Su Zhan spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Xiao understood Su Zhan's plan.
He knew it was impossible to persuade Su Zhan, so he nodded.
"Just let me know if you need my help."
Su Zhan thanked him and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Gu Feng.
Do you think the people from the Miao Miao Palace will come looking for you?
Gu Feng nodded upon hearing this.
"If they don't want people to know that it was their Miao Miao Palace that did it, they will definitely want to get rid of me, especially after you went to look for me in such a big way. They must also be eager to find me."
This is actually why he chose to cooperate with Su Zhan and reveal the secrets of the Miao Miao Palace.
Only he can stay in this safe place; otherwise, not only Su Zhan's people, but also the people from the Miao Miao Palace will not let him go.
Su Zhan thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"In that case, it saves me the trouble of going through all that trouble."
Gu Feng didn't understand Su Zhan's meaning for a moment, but Palace Master Xiao smiled knowingly.
Soon, Su Zhan, disguised as Gu Feng, returned to Gu Feng's residence with Hun Tianlong, who was disguised as a follower. The place was in chaos, caused by a fight between Gu Feng and Palace Master Xiao's men when Gu Feng was escaping.
Ignoring all this, Su Zhan walked towards Gu Feng's Artifact Refining room and began packing his things, seemingly intending to leave this place for a long time. He was trembling with fear, as if afraid that someone would appear.
But just as he was about to leave, several Mask men suddenly blocked his way.
"Gu Feng, where do you want to go?"
One of them spoke up.
Su Zhan immediately looked panicked.
