Chapter 77: Each Has Their Own Skills

In the quiet room, the flickering lights swayed gently.

Under the lights, three figures sat facing each other, none of them speaking.

After an unknown amount of time, the beautifully dressed woman sitting in the upper seat slowly exhaled and said indifferently, "Qian'er, have you made any progress these days?"

This beautifully dressed woman was none other than the so-called Holy Messenger who appeared outside Du Fei's room that day. Now, in front of her were Du Xuanfeng and Du Qian.

Upon hearing her speak, Du Xuanfeng gave a slight nod.

Du Qian then took a deep breath and whispered, "Sister Du Xuan, I followed your orders and trailed Du Fei all the way. I basically witnessed all his actions in the Xuan You Secret Realm... Du Fei, as you predicted, is definitely not an ordinary person. If he grows up, he will surely make great contributions to our Du family."

"Even the proud Qian'er gives him such an evaluation?" Du Xuan nodded slightly, then glanced at Du Qian with a hint of oddity and said indifferently, "Then, Qian'er, if you were to fight him, what are your chances of winning?"

"If it's just based on our skills and strength, I have an 80% chance of defeating him. But if he uses his Alchemy Techniques, I have no chance of winning!" Du Qian hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"Alchemy Techniques, huh?" Du Xuan reached up to gather the long hair falling over her forehead, curling it a few times. "Alchemists are always mysterious beings. Even our Yunshui Du family dares not offend an alchemist lightly... However, I always feel that Du Fei is somewhat strange... So, for now, he cannot enter the main family. Qian'er, you should pay more attention to him these days."

"Yes! There's one more thing I'm considering whether to tell you, Sister..." Du Qian hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"About Du Han?" Du Xuan smiled indifferently, her expression unchanged. "I have already ordered that no one should interfere... If he can't even deal with Du Han, then it means Du Fei is nothing special! Of course, if Du Fei dies at Du Han's hands, it also means Du Han has great potential."

Upon hearing this, Du Xuanfeng and Du Qing exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat odd.

Du Han and Du Fei were now considered the top figures in the Du family, but in Du Xuan's eyes, only one of them was qualified to enter the Yunshui Du family?

However, they both knew that Du Xuan's status was no small matter, so they only frowned slightly and did not say much more.

Seemingly aware of their thoughts, Du Xuan did not say much more but smiled lightly and said, "But you don't need to worry. Qian'er is very dear to me, and I will handle her entry into the main family properly... Just wait patiently! As for Du Han and Du Fei, ignore them for now!"

With that, Du Xuan waved her hand slightly, and a gentle breeze swept through the room. A moment later, her figure had vanished without a trace.

After Du Xuan disappeared, the two people in the room exchanged glances. Although Du Qian remained calm, Du Xuanfeng's expression was somewhat grim.

"Father, from Sister Du Xuan's words, it seems the Yunshui Du family won't take any action soon?" After hesitating for a moment, Du Qian spoke indifferently.

"Probably...," Du Xuanfeng laughed bitterly. "I thought Du Fei would be enough to make them move, but it seems his importance is still not enough... In that case, I wonder if Du Fei can overcome the upcoming difficulties on his own! If the head of the family insists on acting, it will bring us a lot of trouble!"

In the brightly lit hall, the atmosphere was quite oppressive.

None of the people in the hall dared to make a sound.

In the hall, quite a few people were seated, some from the Lian family, some from the Bai family, and even some from the Baiyi Sect.

On the left side of the main seat, a young man in white was leaning lazily in his chair, as if about to fall asleep.

Compared to the solemn expressions of everyone in the hall, he seemed like an anomaly, impossible to ignore.

However, as if aware of his identity, no one in the hall dared to look at him more than once, all of them keeping their eyes on their noses.

"Are those three useless ones dead?" The man sitting in the main seat was none other than Lian Ji. At this moment, his expression was extremely grim, his gaze cold as he looked at the three mangled corpses in the center of the hall, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Lord of the family, it is indeed them. This, I can guarantee," Lian Rui, standing in the hall, sighed slightly before speaking softly.

Although he had already guessed it was 90% likely, Lian Ji's eyes still narrowed slightly. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Is Du Fei that monstrous? These three useless ones, though low-level Ninth Rank Martial Masters, could not even defeat one Du Fei when working together. They truly are useless!"

After saying this, Lian Ji's gaze subconsciously swept over the young man in white on the left side, then quickly moved away.

The young man only glanced casually at the corpses in the hall, then showed a look of disinterest, even yawning as if about to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Bai An, sitting opposite him, suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Lian, you can't blame them... No one expected Du Fei to be so powerful. We thought he relied only on his alchemy skills, but it turns out he is also a formidable Martial Master. To be able to cultivate both these skills simultaneously, he is not just a genius, but a prodigy... I think even among the five families of Yunshui, there are few such people... However, he has not fully grown yet. If given time, I believe he will make it impossible for us to stand in this city... After all, we have thoroughly offended him in the Xuan You Secret Realm!"

Hearing this, Lü Yi slowly picked up a teacup and took a sip, then said calmly, "If we have offended him, then we have offended him... Does the head of the Bai family think there is still a way to turn things around? Moreover, the scroll that day was left by the Xuan You Sect. If he hadn't destroyed it but taken it back to cultivate, with his talent, we would have no way out... Now, at least, because of this matter, our families can unite to find a way to eliminate Du Fei and remove this threat... If that doesn't work, we can mobilize the forces of our three families. I don't believe the Du family can resist our combined strength!"

Hearing the last sentence, Lian Ji's expression darkened further. After a moment, he smiled faintly and shook his head, "If it were that easy, why would we be here in distress? If our three families unite, do you think the Gongsun family and the Wolf Gang will just watch? Our combined strength is at best equal to theirs, and we will end up with a futile effort."

"Oh? Then Brother Lian's meaning is that we should all close our eyes and wait to die? Don't forget! Not only in the past, but in the Xuan You Secret Realm, we all forced Du Fei! With his decisive nature, do you think he will let it go?" Lü Yi smiled coldly and said indifferently.

"I said it! Du Fei must die! And I want him to die helplessly, leaving the Du family with no chance to retaliate!" Lian Ji laughed coldly, gritting his teeth.

"Then Brother Lian's meaning is..."

"To deal with an alchemist, the best is another alchemist... Although Du Fei's Alchemy Techniques can easily kill Eighth Rank Martial Masters..." Lian Ji glanced at the young man in white again, then said indifferently.

This time, upon hearing about the Eighth Rank Martial Master-killing technique, the young man in white seemed to perk up slightly. He slowly raised his head, his gaze lingering on Lian Ji for a moment before he said indifferently, "You mean Du Fei can use his Alchemy Techniques to easily kill Eighth Rank Martial Masters?"

"Yes, I absolutely would not dare to deceive you, sir!" Lian Ji nodded slightly, speaking solemnly.

"Interesting..." A strange smile appeared on the young man's face. "If it were just an ordinary alchemist, I wouldn't bother with your trivial matters, but to be able to kill Eighth Rank Martial Masters... At least Eighth Rank Alchemy Techniques... This is quite rare in the Da'an Dynasty..."

Hearing this, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been talking for a long time just to get this person to speak. Now that he showed some interest in Du Fei, they wouldn't have to worry so much!

If this prodigy acts, Du Fei will surely die!

"However..." The young man smiled faintly, his expression somewhat strange. "Although I came here out of respect for the Yunshui Long family, I never do anything for free. Although I am somewhat interested in Du Fei... you shouldn't think I will just do this for you? You don't have the qualifications for that!"

"Hehe, Lord Gu Yun is right. How can we have the qualifications to ask Lord Gu Yun to do something for us... This time, it's just that Lord Gu Yun is interested in that boy, and we are providing some information!" Lian Ji smiled, his expression somewhat ingratiating.

"Enough talk." Gu Yun waved his hand casually, then lightly flicked a sheepskin scroll onto Lian Ji's table. "This is something I think you can provide... As long as you provide it, I will help you deal with Du Fei as a favor!"

Hearing this, Lian Ji's brows furrowed slightly. After a moment, his gaze swept over the sheepskin scroll, and his expression turned extremely grim!
