Chapter 125 Worry

Xu Tian's gaze did not flinch as he met Chu Hong's glare: "Master Chu, before you ask me these questions, you might as well ask yourself why you are so unscrupulous."

Chu Hong's anger was ignited instantly. He took a step forward and almost poked Xu Tian's face with his finger: "How dare you! How dare you talk to me like that. Xu Tian, ​​you'd better tell me the truth, where is my son Chu Yi?" Chu Hong was anxious. His son had been missing for many days and he had sent many people to look for him to no avail. Now that he had caught this guy who was secretly investigating the Chu family, he firmly believed that his son's whereabouts were related to this person.

Xu Tian looked at Chu Hong's anxious and angry expression, and a sense of pleasure welled up in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: "Master Chu, why do you think Chu Yi is in my hands?"

Chu Hong took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and his voice softened a little: "You have been asking around for news about my Chu family, and my people have been keeping an eye on you for a long time. From the moment you started to act, we have been secretly monitoring you. It was not until you were seriously injured and unconscious in your own home that we had the opportunity to bring you here." Chu Hong was thinking in his heart that as long as this kid knew the whereabouts of his son, he would make him tell it no matter what means he used.

Xu Tian nodded thoughtfully, a wry smile on his face. "I see. It seems the explosion did help you."

Chu Hong's face darkened: "I don't know the reason for the explosion. Anyway, we can only bring you back smoothly after you are unconscious." Chu Hong secretly speculated whether the explosion was a conspiracy of other hostile forces, who wanted to take the opportunity to provoke civil strife in the Chu family.

Xu Tian's eyes became sharper: "Then wasn't this explosion planned by you?"

Chu Hong glared at him: "Nonsense! My Chu family doesn't even bother to use such means." Chu Hong was furious. How dare this kid slander the Chu family like this.

Xu Tian sneered: "I understand, it turns out this was just an accident."

Chu Hong interrupted him impatiently: "Boy, don't talk nonsense to me. I have answered all your questions, now it's your turn, where is my son?" Chu Hong had lost his patience at this moment, and he wanted to force Xu Tian to tell him his son's whereabouts immediately.

Xu Tian looked directly into Chu Hong's eyes and said firmly, "I don't know. Although I hate the Chu family to the core and want to eradicate it, I really don't know Chu Yi's whereabouts."

Chu Hong's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Tian, ​​do you think I will believe your nonsense?" Chu Hong thought to himself that this kid must be deliberately hiding something, and he must make him speak.

Xu Tian responded fearlessly: "Believe it or not, what I said is the truth."

Chu Hong paced back and forth in the cell, his hands clenched into fists, each step filled with endless anger and anxiety. He thought, no matter what, he had to make this kid tell the truth, otherwise the Chu family's reputation would be in jeopardy.

"Xu Tian, ​​don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!" Chu Hong stopped and glared at Xu Tian fiercely.

Xu Tian leaned against the wall. Although he was weak, his eyes were still unyielding. "Master Chu, no matter how you threaten or bribe me, I just don't know."

Chu Hong laughed in anger: "Okay, very good! Xu Tian, ​​just wait. The tenth elder of the Jiuhuang Pavilion has arrived in Xihai City. Once you are handed over to him, I wonder how long you can keep your mouth shut!" Chu Hong thought to himself that the Jiuhuang Pavilion was cruel. If this kid fell into their hands, he would be in a state of being unable to live or die. I am not afraid that he will not tell the truth then.

After saying that, Chu Hong flicked his sleeves and turned to leave with the old man. The dungeon door slammed shut, making a dull sound that echoed in the small space.

Xu Tian looked at their departing figures, a wave of despair welling up in his heart. But soon, his eyes became firm again.

"I can't just sit there and wait to die." Xu Tian swore secretly in his heart.

The dungeon was eerily silent. Xu Tian could clearly hear his own heavy breathing and heartbeat. He tried to shift, seeking a more comfortable position, but every movement caused a sharp pain.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Tian heard faint footsteps and whispers coming from outside the dungeon.

"This Xu Tian is really ignorant of his own life and death. He actually dares to go against the Chu family."

"The Patriarch is really angry this time. I'm afraid this kid will not have a good ending."

Xu Tian's heart was filled with anger and unwillingness, but he knew that he couldn't act impulsively at this moment.

After a while, the dungeon door opened again. Several servants of the Chu family walked in, their faces full of ridicule and disdain.

"Boy, it's time to eat." A servant casually threw a bowl of rotten-smelling food on the ground.

Xu Tian looked at the bowl of disgusting food, his stomach churning. "Can you give me some water?"

"Hmph, you still want water? Dream on!" The servants left with laughter.

Xu Tian closed his eyes helplessly, the despair in his heart growing stronger.

At night, the temperature in the dungeon dropped sharply, and Xu Tian's body trembled constantly. He felt his consciousness gradually blurring, as if he would fall into a coma again at any moment.

"No, I can't fall down like this." Xu Tian gritted his teeth and tried to stay awake.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the corner. Xu Tian turned his head with difficulty and found a mouse gnawing on the leftovers on the ground.

The Sea Breeze Mountains are a tranquil and mysterious place. Deep within a cave, Lin Feng sits quietly, seemingly at one with his surroundings. A tranquil and mysterious atmosphere permeates the cave, and water drops drip slowly from the cave walls, making a crisp sound.

Lin Feng sat there for several days. His shocking injuries had healed after a few days of recuperation, but his clothes were still in a state of disarray. Dried bloodstains formed dark red patterns on them, and holes were visible everywhere, as if telling of the fierce battle that had taken place before.

A few days passed, and Xu Tian went to Xihai City to inquire about the news but never returned. Lin Feng's doubts grew deeper and deeper.

"Xu Tian has been gone for so long, could he have encountered some danger?" Lin Feng frowned, his eyes showing worry. His gaze became deep and solemn, and his thoughts were churning.

He turned to look at the Chu family elder and Chu Yi who were tied up in the corner. The Chu family elder's originally majestic face was now filled with anger and helplessness, while Chu Yi's face was filled with fear and despair.

A hint of determination flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He slowly stood up and walked towards them with firm steps.

The bodies of the Chu family elders and Chu Yi trembled involuntarily, their eyes fixed on Lin Feng, as if waiting for an unknown fate.

Lin Feng said coldly: "Humph, I'll let you live a few more days."
