Chapter 795 Leaving the Villa
The Linshan Villa was also very lively. Early in the morning, footsteps could be heard outside the residence. If he didn't know the reason, Zuo Feng would probably suspect that the city lord wanted to attack him.
However, Zuo Feng was not too worried. After all, if the city lord was going to take action, he would never make such a big fuss. It was originally in his own villa, so it was more appropriate to do it without anyone noticing.
Zuo Feng got up early in the morning, washed up briefly, and walked out of his room. Although he and Amber were in the same room, the house was divided into two rooms, the north room and the south room. Zuo Feng lived in the room on the south side. When he opened the door, there was a simple small hall with a table and two chairs in the middle facing the door.
Amber seemed to have gotten up a long time ago and was sitting there waiting for Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng could understand his appearance. After all, he also saw the scene in the formation yesterday. It was strange that he could calmly pretend that nothing had happened.
Because Amber saw the situation here, he was also an insider and also swore an oath on the spot. However, You and Su seemed to be particularly tolerant of Amber, because they both believed that Amber would most likely lean towards them after thinking about it, and they might become a family in the future, so of course they didn't need to care too much about these things.
In addition, the so-called knowledge, in fact, Amber didn't know too much. Because Amber had heard some of the secrets of Linshan Villa, so at the beginning he decided not to get involved as much as possible. His approach was also very clear, not asking and not paying attention, and pretending not to know even if he knew.
Not paying attention and not asking, but not being blind and deaf, so he still vaguely knew some, and at the same time he had a guess about these in his heart. Because of this, he tossed and turned last night and couldn't fall asleep, and his sleep was very shallow and he woke up before dawn.
After the two met, they talked briefly, because they were in Linshan Villa, and extra words would only cause trouble for themselves if they were heard. In terms of language, it was just some normal daily communication, and more of it was understanding each other in the exchange of eyes.
The food had been prepared and placed on the table in the small hall in the middle. The food was just simple porridge and a few dishes of pickles. The two of them didn't care about these. It was good to fill their stomachs.
After breakfast, the two walked out of the courtyard where they were. It was still very busy outside, and many hurried figures passed by them quickly. Those who had seen them would look at them twice, and those who hadn't seen them would cast a vigilant look, but seeing that the two of them walked here so calmly, they ignored them.
Following the route in memory, they passed through a corridor and came to the location of the main hall of the villa. The two could feel that everyone in the Linshan Villa seemed to have been mobilized, but the defense was not weakened at all, but became more stringent than before.
When they walked to the passage on the side of the main hall, they saw Tao Zongguan coming quickly with a happy face. He walked in front of the two and hurriedly saluted them with his fists. The smile on his face did not change at all during the whole process.
One detail caught Zuo Feng's attention, that is, Tao Zongguan's attitude towards Amber. In the past, Manager Tao would be very polite to Zuo Feng, but he was a little superficial to Amber beside him, and even his superficial efforts seemed a little perfunctory.
Zuo Feng and Amber did not care too much about this, because it was a very normal thing, especially when dealing with people like Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng himself did not have any power, and his existence could not be taken too seriously. Manager Tao had done a good job in this regard.
However, Manager Tao's previous politeness and decency were also closely related to the city lord.
If he had always been like this, he would not have felt that there was anything wrong, but the problem was that his attitude towards Amber this time suddenly changed to a great extent. Not only was he much more enthusiastic than before, he was even more friendly and polite than before to Zuo Feng.
This kind of politeness shown by the family was not just as simple as politeness, but also an affirmation of the identity and status of a person. If a person with a strong vanity was treated so politely, he would definitely feel flattered.
Amber was a man who had seen the world, and on the surface he responded politely, making it difficult for people to see what he was thinking. Chief Steward Tao was a little surprised. He was also very surprised that Amber could behave so naturally. At the same time, he looked at Amber again with a re-examination of his eyes, and then smiled and said.
"The Lord of the City was quite busy last night. I hope you will not be offended if I did not greet you well. Today is also the Linshan County City, and it is also a big day for the entire empire. Lord You must also prepare for the selection, so he cannot come to greet you in person."
Zuo Feng waved his hand and said, "Lord You is a busy man, so there is no need to greet us two. If Chief Steward Tao has something to do, he does not need to pay attention to us two. We know the way to leave, so..."
As he said this, Zuo Feng's eyes fell on the back of Steward Tao, which was the way to leave the villa. He said this, but he was laughing in his heart, because Lord You and Su Lan must have not slept well last night, but it had nothing to do with the selection.
Not long after the formation was opened yesterday, Lord You sent the two away from the formation. They also sent people to "escort" the two of them back to the courtyard assigned to them. Of course, these people were not there to protect them, but just to monitor the two of them so that they would not run around.
After sending the two away, the city lord hurried back. He was naturally worried about what Su Lan was doing there.
The mystery and hugeness of this formation far exceeded the imagination of the two. However, they did not know much about the formation, so they could only force themselves to remember the nodes where Zuo Feng put down the crystal stones. In fact, this formation was so huge that even Zuo Feng knew that he had only seen a few of them.
Moreover, Zuo Feng always believed that there seemed to be secrets in this formation that he had not yet solved. Unfortunately, he did not have the time and opportunity to study it at the moment, let alone study it under the surveillance of others.
In addition, he also knew his own business, and his understanding of runes and formations was still too superficial. If he could study a book in the nanocrystal space and then comprehend the source of the formation thoroughly, then he might really have a chance to comprehend this formation.
Since he was only studying the fur, the city lord and Su Lan stayed last night, which was actually just a waste of time. Zuo Feng was very clear about these last night.
However, the city lord and Su Lan would never give up. Anyone would do the same. They both believed that they were still making the final attempt at the formation. I am afraid that when they find that they still cannot study it clearly, they will really pay attention to Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng had thought about these things clearly last night, but he also understood the danger. After he was valued, one possibility was that his safety would be more guaranteed, and the two forces would consider cooperating with him to open the formation.
However, we cannot only consider the optimistic side of things. At least these people have another choice, which is to capture Zuo Feng directly and force him with tough means. This second choice requires some risks, but there is no need to worry about the secret being leaked.
Although Zuo Feng swore by his own cultivation yesterday, I believe that the two old guys will not feel much restraint about this.
Swearing by one's own cultivation will actually have a certain impact. This impact will have a great impact on the progress of cultivation when the cultivation is improved to a certain level and encounters some bottlenecks. Especially when breaking through one's own bottleneck, it is easy to produce inner demons, so most people still have some awe of this.
For this reason, Su Heyou did not embarrass Zuo Feng for the time being, but this does not mean that they will not take extreme measures in the future. After all, it was Zuo Feng who swore, and the two of them did not swear any oaths, which is what Zuo Feng is a little worried about.
Only to hear the chief Tao slowly speaking: "The competition still needs the city lord to preside over, so you two don't need to be so anxious, just go with the city lord in a while."
Zuo Feng thought to himself, "Sure enough", but on the surface he did not show any emotion, smiled and waved his hand and said: "The city lord and I, a contestant, appear together, which is not good for the reputation of the city lord. Since the city lord is still busy for a while, I will go to familiarize myself with the situation of the venue first."
Chapter Tao was slightly stunned. He did not expect Zuo Feng to refuse this proposal, but after hesitating, he still nodded politely, and at the same time stretched his hand back and made a gesture.
Following that, six warriors in the middle and late stages of muscle hardening flashed in front of Zuo Feng and the others. Zuo Feng didn't take the cultivation of these six people too seriously, but no matter when they appeared, their positions and weapons, they all seemed to contain a joint attack method.
Zuo Feng laughed in his heart, but pretended to be "ignorant" on the surface.
Tao Zhushi smiled and said: "I know that Brother Shen Feng's combat power is amazing, but now the city of Linshan County is not peaceful. These six people are the dead soldiers carefully trained by our Lord of the City. Their combat power is also a powerful helper when they join forces. At present, there will inevitably be troubles in the city who want to find Brother Shen. With these six people, Lord of the City can rest assured."
Zuo Feng naturally understood that these six people were called protection, but in fact they wanted to monitor him. Although he had many enemies in Linshan County, no one should dare to take action openly during the selection period, but he absolutely could not refuse these six people, otherwise it would only cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Zuo Feng smiled and respectfully clasped his fists, saying: "Then please ask Lord Tao to convey my gratitude to the Lord of the City."
