65: Chen De's methods

Feng Rin, waiting outside the door, was overjoyed at the news. This matter was settled.

This feeling was truly too thrilling.

Feng Rin just waited quietly outside for the door to open.

After a short while, she poked her head out, looking around to see if anyone had noticed her.

"Come in quickly, don't let anyone see us!" she said, pulling Feng Rin inside.

Feng Rin, however, was not flustered at all.

He had already investigated the situation here thoroughly; nothing would happen.

...

They exchanged a glance and a smile, their expressions somewhat eerie.

Now, Chen De had completed the parasitic process.

To prevent exposure, Chen De still left a portion of the black liquid on Feng Rin's concubine, controlling her.

Because of the soul token, Chen De currently dared not directly devour anyone from these prominent families.

Otherwise, if Feng Zhe discovered that his son, Feng Rin, was dead, how could Chen De's plan proceed?

Sure enough, after entering Feng Rin's body, according to Feng Rin's memories, he indeed had a soul token that could sense life and death, held by Feng Zhe.

It was a good thing he hadn't directly devoured him, or all his efforts today would have been in vain.

Chen De simply adapted to Feng Rin's body and then returned to his own room.

Chen De was extremely cautious throughout, not alarming anyone.

Also, he, Chen De, was a man of morals.

He would absolutely not do anything in the City Lord's Mansion.

He only needed to act as Feng Rin usually did.

At this critical juncture, the most important thing was to avoid any complications.

No additional actions were needed; those things would eventually belong to Chen De.

Back in his room, Chen De diligently cultivated as Feng Zhe had always arranged.

One night passed like this.

The next day.

Bang, bang, bang!

Knocking came from outside the door.

Chen De heard the movement and slowly opened his eyes, "Who is it?"

A reply came from outside, "Reporting, Young City Lord, it's time to get up for a meal."

"Okay, I know. You can go down first. Tell my father I'll be there as soon as I've washed up."

"Yes."

The servant who announced left, and immediately, maids responsible for washing up came to the door, asking softly,

"Young City Lord, may we come in?"

"Come in!"

Hearing the reply, the maids responsible for washing up immediately pushed open the door and entered with the washing supplies.

Chen De sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for them to help him wash up and get dressed.

After everything was done,

"Young City Lord, it's done!"

"Mm, you may leave!"

"Yes!"

The maids bowed to Chen De again and left with their belongings and Chen De's changed clothes.

Chen De stood up, stretched his body, and walked out the door.

Since returning to his room last night, Chen De had been pondering a question.

Chen De had thought about this question all night.

Even now, he didn't have a very good solution.

Doing it directly wasn't impossible, but he felt it might be too bizarre.

This matter was how to get rid of Feng Rin's concubine, that is, Feng Zhe's concubine.

This person absolutely could not be kept alive.

If she lived, Chen De couldn't retract his black liquid; otherwise, if she regained consciousness, wouldn't Chen De be exposed?

What kind of place was this?

Being exposed here, in the City Lord's Mansion, Chen De would die without even a trace left, losing his life on the spot.

But if he didn't retract his black liquid, then Feng Zhe's concubine was practically Chen De himself.

Although great achievements require unscrupulous means, and a moral person should sacrifice himself for righteousness,

Chen De wasn't prepared for any of this yet!

This matter was too outrageous!

Chen De absolutely could not tolerate such a thing.

In short, this person absolutely could not be kept alive.

Moreover, this matter should be handled sooner rather than later.

Chen De wished he could do it now, immediately, right away.

However, this matter still needed to be handled reasonably, at least not too suddenly.

If she died too suddenly, even though she was just a concubine, Feng Zhe would definitely investigate thoroughly.

The first part of last night's events was not handled by Chen De personally.

After all, Chen De hadn't expected Feng Rin to be so daring.

If Feng Zhe really thoroughly investigated the matter concerning that concubine within the mansion,

Feng Rin was not as cautious and flawless in his actions as Chen De.

That kid was just purely... daring to do such a thing.

If investigated, some clues would definitely be found.

Then wouldn't Chen De and his father, Feng Zhe, have a rift?

This wouldn't do; Chen De was still counting on Feng Zhe to make money for him.

So Chen De had to make her death seem reasonable.

Unconsciously, Chen De had already arrived outside the dining hall.

At this moment, Feng Zhe was also inviting him to come in quickly and eat.

He looked like a doting father.

Chen De's stepmother also arrived at the same time, but she was not eating at the same table as Chen De.

Chen De and Feng Zhe sat at one table, while the concubines sat at another table.

At the dinner table, Feng Zhe spoke a lot to Chen De, especially urging him to intensify his cultivation during this period to prepare for the sect selection in half a month.

However, he also told Chen De not to push himself too hard.

If he was too tired, he could go out and play, find some girls to relieve stress, as long as he didn't bring them into the mansion.

He even said that he would try his best to arrange things for Chen De in the upcoming sect selection...

Looking at Feng Zhe's serious expression, Chen De understood; he seemed to be serious.

Playing so wild?

If it were the original Feng Rin, he would have definitely agreed on the spot.

Unfortunately, Chen De was a gentleman, and he righteously and sternly refused on the spot.

Feng Zhe thought Chen De was being coy and quickly said that he wouldn't mind, and that he could do as he pleased.

Explosive, too explosive!

Chen De immediately expressed his anger, saying, "What kind of person do you take me for?"

How could I covet my own concubine? Wouldn't that be an animal?

Don't say such things again in the future.

Feng Zhe saw Chen De's stern refusal and felt deeply gratified. Feng Rin had indeed grown up.

He wasn't testing him; he was serious.

After all, Chen De was able to act when Feng Zhe wasn't paying attention, but the original Feng Rin didn't have that ability.

So, Feng Zhe was prepared to let her go, which is why he said those words today.

But now it seemed that Feng Rin must have just been distracted at the time.
