Chapter 420

As Ye Feng spoke, Situ Jie fell into deep thought.

Recalling this memory, Situ Jie couldn’t help but shiver in fear.

Clearly, he was a bit traumatized.

“Come with me!” After a brief silence, Situ Jie finally said.

Under Situ Jie’s guidance, everyone arrived at a living room, where Situ Jie had someone prepare tea for Ye Feng and the others.

As for the other members of the Situ family, they had dispersed, busy with their own matters.

The various elders of the Situ family were being punished and were supervised to shovel manure.

Although they felt utterly miserable, they had no choice but to accept their fate.

On the other side, after sitting down, Situ Jie began to recount his experience.

As it turned out, one day while pursuing thieves, Situ Jie accidentally entered the area of Jia Rong Mountain.

At first, upon entering the Jia Rong Mountain area, Situ Jie thought nothing of it.

But as he ventured deeper, he realized something was amiss; the situation inside was very peculiar.

Indeed, just as he was about to withdraw, he discovered two horned, horse-like creatures following him.

Unicorns!

Yes, Situ Jie encountered unicorns, and not just one, but two at once.

Feeling that these unicorns were extremely dangerous, Situ Jie dared not linger, so he turned and fled.

Chased by the unicorns, Situ Jie delved deeper in.

The further he went, the more he discovered various monsters inside, and their strength grew increasingly potent.

Therefore, Situ Jie was pursued by various monsters.

Seeing the dire situation, Situ Jie devised a small plan to change direction and attempted to escape the Jia Rong Mountain area.

Though Situ Jie successfully changed direction, during the attempt, he was bitten by a creature that resembled a snake but had horns on its head.

After being bitten, Situ Jie endured the pain and accelerated his pace of escape.

Exerting all his energy, with the use of his family’s Secret Technique, Situ Jie managed to escape.

By the time Situ Jie escaped the Jia Rong Mountain area, he had collided with several monsters, leaving his internal injuries severe.

Furthermore, the bite wound continuously corroded his body, worsening his injuries over time.

Most fatal was the discovery that he had been poisoned, and the poison was extremely potent.

Moreover, due to his earlier escape efforts accelerating his blood flow, the poison had already spread throughout his body.

Thus, he hurried home and collapsed as soon as he reached the Situ family residence, losing consciousness.

“This… this terrifying?” Hearing Situ Jie’s words, Feng Gu was startled.

He had also encountered unicorns, but his ordeal was hardly comparable to Situ Jie’s.

If he were in Situ Jie’s position, he probably wouldn’t have survived.

“Are we still going?” As for the two elders of the Feng Family, they looked at Feng Gu and asked with extreme trepidation.

“Whether you go or not, I’m definitely going.” Feng Gu didn’t speak, but Ye Feng answered with unwavering determination.

Though the place was dangerous, for Ye Feng, it was a blessing; not only could he rapidly enhance his strength, but perhaps opportunities awaited him as well.

Thus, Ye Feng was determined to go.

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Situ Jie shook his head helplessly.

Originally, he had shared his ordeal to make Ye Feng retreat, thus ensuring Situ Jing’s safety.

But unexpectedly, even knowing the risks, Ye Feng was willing to confront the dangers, seemingly recklessly daring death.

This left him somewhat desolate as he felt Situ Jing’s predicament was perilous.

“If Mr. Ye is going, I will too. There’s no need for you to go, lest the Feng Family suffers any more losses.” As for Feng Gu, after a moment of hesitation, he answered resolutely.

“Alright, rest well today, tomorrow we head to Jia Rong Mountain.” Seeing Feng Gu not backing down, Ye Feng nodded and indicated.

At Ye Feng’s gesture, Situ Jie arranged for Ye Feng and his group to be provided with the finest rooms.

After Ye Feng and his team left, Situ Jie called for Situ Jing, looking at Situ Jing with a grave expression.

“Father, what’s wrong?” Noticing Situ Jie’s unusual expression, Situ Jing asked curiously.

“Are you planning to follow Mr. Ye to Jia Rong Mountain?” Situ Jie asked, looking at Situ Jing.

“Yes!” Situ Jing nodded without hesitation and replied, “It’s something I promised him, and I can’t go back on my word.”

Although she said this, Situ Jing was actually very eager to go with Ye Feng.

Her fondness for Ye Feng was growing, and she wished to spend more time with him.

“I don’t recommend you going; Jia Rong Mountain is extremely dangerous. Even I barely survived last time, and it was sheer luck. How could it be different for you? You have to think carefully.” But Situ Jie shook his head, trying to persuade Situ Jing.

Hearing Situ Jie’s words, Situ Jing fell silent.

She knew the dangers, but how could she back out of something she promised?

Moreover, she was willing to venture with Ye Feng; as long as Ye Feng was around, everything seemed worthwhile.

“Father, if it weren’t for Mr. Ye, I’d already be dead by Situ Ze’s hands back then. I had no other choice but to agree to Mr. Ye. Now, how can I regret?” Suddenly, Situ Jing looked at Situ Jie with determination and asked.

“You like him, don’t you?” Despite Situ Jing hiding it well, Situ Jie could see through her feelings and asked helplessly.

With Situ Jie’s words, Situ Jing’s face instantly turned red.

“A daughter can’t be kept at home forever!” Situ Jie sighed helplessly, feeling that his precious daughter was slipping away.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t say anything further. I only hope you protect yourself and return alive.” Suddenly, Situ Jie spoke seriously.

He had already lost a son and didn’t want to lose his daughter too.

Originally, if Situ Jing didn’t want to go, no matter what it cost, Situ Jie would have asked Ye Feng to spare her.

But Situ Jing was willing to go, for Ye Feng’s sake, leaving him no other choice.

“Yes, Father.” Seeing Situ Jie’s forlorn expression, Situ Jing nodded with tears in her eyes.

“Come! Let me give you something for protection.” After touching Situ Jing’s head, Situ Jie gestured, leading Situ Jing to his treasure trove.

Now, with Situ Jing as his only child, he was willing to use his life’s collection to ensure her safe return.

Led by Situ Jie, the two entered the secret vault within his room.

Seeing the treasures before her, Situ Jing was stunned.

She realized that this was only Situ Jie’s personal collection, which meant the Situ family’s treasures were even more abundant…
