Xiao Feng didn't have much doubt about the old man's claim, because if those golden pills from Iwakami Shigehiro were as common as cabbages, the three ninjas who broke into the villa wouldn't have died so quickly.

Unless the old man before him had enough strength to kill all three at once, which clearly wasn't the case from earlier observations.

"I have done everything I needed to do, it's time for me to report back to Miss." The old man bowed again and began to walk slowly towards the gate, his hunched figure no different from that of any elderly person.

Even if one were to tell others, no one would believe that such a person could effortlessly kill three robust fighters in their prime.

Xiao Feng looked at the corpses of the four ninjas and the severed arm on the grass, took a deep breath, and said, "You've watched enough of the show, haven't you?"

A moment later, a figure draped entirely in a black coat jumped down from the rooftop at an angle, speaking in a neutral voice: "Boring, this show was truly boring."

Naturally, the voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female belonged to Xue Nuofu.

Xiao Feng asked calmly, "Coming here in the middle of the night, was it just to watch the show?"

"Of course not." Xue Nuofu shook their head, "I had planned to get on stage, but you didn't give me the chance."

"Still not willing to give up?" Xiao Feng scoffed, having already guessed Xue Nuofu's purpose for lurking on the rooftop.

It was nothing more than hoping to find a chance to make Xiao Feng owe him a favor, and then to naturally extend an invitation to join the Demon Suppression Action Team.

"An hour ago, I received news that a group of foreigners arrived in Jiangcheng. I immediately had a feeling they were coming for you, so I came here early to wait, and indeed saw a good show." Xue Nuofu tilted their head slightly, "Although this show was not as exciting as expected."

Xiao Feng curled his lips in a retort: "Your intelligence is timely, though much less than I expected."

In Xiao Feng's view, Xue Nuofu knowing about Iwakami Shigehiro and his group being in Jiangcheng was not surprising, because based on the fragmented information from Gong Kaishan and Li Ying, the Demon Suppression Action Team had its own intelligence network.

The scope of this network was yet to be determined, but covering the whole of Jiangcheng shouldn't be a problem.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Xue Nuofu say, "Su Yuzhuo... is still alive."

The tone of this statement was not inquisitive, but a certainty, as if Xue Nuofu was sure of its truth.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly. The old man just now had consistently referred to Su Yuzhuo as "Miss," and Iwakami Shigehiro also called her "Oto-chan." How did Xue Nuofu know Su Yuzhuo was still alive?

His brain raced, and after a moment, Xiao Feng figured out the problem: "Did the new big sister of the Devil's Concentration Camp tell you?"

Xue Nuofu, as if not hearing the question, confirmed: "You saved her?"

Xiao Feng nodded unflinchingly, "Since you know Su Yuzhuo is alive, you must also know where she is. If you want to kill her, you can just go, I won't stop you."

"Why did you help her?" Xue Nuofu's tone suddenly turned cold, "I need a reason."

"..." Xiao Feng felt a bit disoriented. This resentful tone, why did it sound like a spouse questioning why her husband had found a mistress?

As he was thinking, he heard Xue Nuofu continue: "Ever since I came to Jiangcheng, everything I've done has been beneficial to you. I've racked my brains trying to get you to join the Demon Suppression Action Team, and you remain indifferent; that's fine.

After all, giving and receiving don't always equate, but what I truly can't accept is that even though you know about the situation between me and Su Yuzhuo, you still saved her. Does this make sense to you?"

Boom!

Xiao Feng felt a thunder strike on his head, ears buzzing, completely struck dumb by Xue Nuofu's words.

If the earlier "I need a reason" was just Xiao Feng overthinking, then this "Does this make sense to you?" clearly showed a problem in Xue Nuofu's way of speaking.

"There's a question..." Xiao Feng said nervously.

Xue Nuofu interrupted coldly: "Answer my question first."

"My question is very important!"

"Speak!"

"Are you sure you're a man?"

As he asked the question, Xiao Feng took two steps back, ready to flee at any moment.

Though Xue Nuofu wasn't ugly, and even had an astonishing appeal, especially with those naturally alluring features that many women lacked, Xiao Feng still couldn't appreciate it deep within.

Especially knowing Xue Nuofu's gender, recalling the face, that conflicting and awkward feeling was truly uncontrollable.

"What do you mean?" Xue Nuofu's voice was sharp.

"My meaning is clear. As good-looking as you might be, I find it hard to accept." Xiao Feng said seriously, "You may not see me as a proper person, but at least view me as a normal person, a normal man."

Xue Nuofu's brows furrowed tightly under their hood, "I don't understand what nonsense you're talking about."

"Are you truly unable to understand, or are you pretending?" Xiao Feng questioned suspiciously.

"Don't change the subject." Xue Nuofu brought the topic back: "I need an explanation from you."

Xiao Feng couldn't see Su Yuzhuo's expression and eyes, so he could only guess their mindset from the tone. Judging from the current conversation, Xue Nuofu didn't seem like a pervert, just that the choice of words had significant issues, easily leading to misunderstandings.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Feng said, "If I must find a reason, Su Yuzhuo being alive is still of value to me."

"Ha!" Xue Nuofu laughed, "Have you forgotten how she used to deal with you? Saving someone who continually wants to kill you is precisely the kind of behavior that 'nurtures a tiger to grow a future threat.'

"What I do is none of your business. As I said, she's right there, I'm not stopping you from seeking revenge." Xiao Feng waved, turned, and walked towards the villa, truly unwilling to waste more time bickering with Xue Nuofu.

Because the more they talked, the more he couldn't help but doubt Xue Nuofu's gender.

Though many men have nagging personalities, the problem was that those men didn't have the looks of a beauty.

"Wait!" Xue Nuofu stopped him, "Who was that old man you were talking to just now? Why did he help you?"

Xiao Feng didn't turn back and responded impatiently, "If you need me to tell you something so simple, all I can say is that with your prowess, attempting to eliminate the Devil's Concentration Camp is utterly delusional!"

Even as he continued walking, he couldn't help but internally criticize how starkly different Xue Nuofu's personality was from their external appearance.

Returning to the villa, he saw obvious signs of battle in the courtyard, though the setup there hadn't suffered much damage.

Besides, the door was tightly shut, and the glass on the windows was intact, indicating that the three ninjas hadn't even entered the house before being killed by the old man.

Xiao Feng didn't disable the danger signal and headed straight inside, wanting to see if, besides the traps he set, the little girl, Du Qingyue, and Jiang Yixin had any other defense measures prepared.

Additionally, he wanted to see their reactions when faced with danger.
