Chapter 977: Life Is Like A Drama, Competing In Ac

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"You must be relatives of Emperor Bai! How could you deceive me about your true identity?"

The father and son were suddenly stunned, and then they burst into loud wails!

"Wahhhhh!!!"

"Senior! We really aren't relatives of Emperor Bai! This is all a misunderstanding!"

"We don't even know Emperor Bai...!"

"Senior, we were just blinded by greed and wanted to borrow Emperor Bai's reputation to gain some fortune. We deserve to die for this, but please, see the truth!"

"Senior, please let us go!"

"Yes, yes! Senior, just treat us like farts and let us go. You'll feel much better..."

Xu Xianzhi and his son wailed and nodded.

Their appearance.

Was like two old hens pecking at rice, completely devoid of the demeanor of a saint's relatives.

Any normal person.

Seeing this scene would surely have doubts.

Perhaps.

Out of a moment of soft-heartedness, they might just let them go.

But Yi Feng wasn't so easily fooled!

He observed the two with a faint smile.

Completely unmoved!

Especially when he saw Xu Xianzhi's tear-streaked face, filled with deep regret and sorrow!

That expression...

Those tears.

The perfect delivery of lines!

Tsk tsk...

It looked so real.

The emotions were off the charts!

Without exaggeration.

This was textbook-level acting!

Then there was little Zongzi Xu Kaihan.

Though not as good as his father.

His emotions were fully invested in fear, lacking a bit of the remorseful flavor.

More tears.

And his words were a bit unclear.

But his acting was still top-notch!

At the very least.

The so-called "idol actors" from his past life would be utterly crushed in comparison to this level of acting!

This father and son.

Were both acting emperors.

Truly a pair of talents!

Unfortunately.

Acting is still just acting.

No matter how much they pretended to regret or fear, it wasn't real, and it even felt a bit overdone!

They were crying so hard they were almost out of breath.

That's just too much!

It's fake!

A normal person, knowing their family was in trouble, would prioritize self-preservation, which aligns with human nature.

But they, clearly relatives of Emperor Bai, upon learning someone was coming for them, immediately turned traitor!

Their faces changed as fast as flipping a book!

Even bursting into acting.

They would rather die than admit their identity!

Even Xu Kaihan, who usually seemed like a useless glutton, now appeared righteous and acted his heart out!

Only someone with absolute loyalty and concern for their family, prioritizing the family above all else, could do such a thing.

It must be said.

These two might be trash in terms of cultivation, but they do have some sense of family honor and backbone.

From this perspective.

They must indeed be relatives of the saint.

At this moment.

Yi Feng couldn't help but look at them with newfound respect.

Then he gave them a cold glance.

Sure enough!

Xu Xianzhi trembled in fear, and his crying immediately stopped!

"Se... Senior?!"

See.

Exposed!

Who could be so terrified that they stop crying just from a single glance?

That trembling expression.

Was just too exaggerated.

He wasn't a devil.

Was there really a need to be so dramatic?

Seeing through everything.

Yi Feng smiled and stared.

"Stop pretending, you can't fool me!"

"Earlier, you had the audacity to flaunt Emperor Bai's name in front of me. That demeanor and tone couldn't be faked!"

"I could tell at a glance that you're Emperor Bai's relatives!"

"No matter how much you cry now, it's all fake!"

Huh?!

Xu Xianzhi was left speechless!

Though his crying had stopped.

He couldn't refute!

And he never expected things to turn out like this!

With a snot bubble hanging from his nose.

He couldn't come up with a single line, completely at a loss for words!

The esteemed Sect Master of the Moon Gazing Sect.

At this moment.

Looked just like a poor student being questioned by a teacher, utterly clueless despite his desperation!

Damn it.

How the hell am I supposed to explain this?!

Never in a million years did I think that being too good at acting would lead to such a disaster!

Now.

Xu Xianzhi truly wanted to cry but had no tears left!

Even if he wanted to act.

Even if he genuinely felt like crying.

Not a single tear could be squeezed out!

This is so frustrating!

As he watched the saint-level blade tear through the clouds, its power about to reach him!

Xu Xianzhi fell to his knees with a thud!

His lips began to tremble!

"Senior!"

"Senior!!!"

"Senior, please see the truth! I really am not Emperor Bai's relative!"

Desperate wails echoed through the street!

Filled with deep grievance and regret!

It was enough to make anyone who heard it shed tears, and anyone who saw it feel sorrow!

All that was missing was a snowfall.

It must be said.

The scene and the lines were truly heart-wrenching.

Even though Xu Xianzhi knelt so hard that his son was flung halfway into the air, making them look like two turtles stuck together, which was a bit comical.

But.

Yi Feng couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration.

They were fully immersed in their roles.

At this moment, the two were truly in character.

They had forgotten everything around them, fully immersed in their grief and indignation!

This was real acting.

It must be said.

Even at this point, they still insisted they weren't Emperor Bai's relatives.

These two definitely had something.

They were indeed relatives of the saint.

Just based on this level of acting and stubbornness, they were no ordinary people!

It seemed.

His own acting as a kidnapper was still a bit lacking.

For the sake of his death-seeking plan.

He had to step it up a notch!

So they wanted to compete in acting?

Who couldn't do that!

After carefully observing everything, Yi Feng put away his long blade and pulled out a sharp dagger!

He crouched down.

A sinister smile appeared on his face!

"Either you bring Emperor Bai here!"

"Or I'll turn you into human sticks!"

His words carried a chilling tone.

Instantly startling the father and son, who both looked up!

As he spoke.

Yi Feng waved the dagger, slowly explaining.

"Do you know what a human stick is?"

"It's using this little dagger to remove all the extra parts of your body, like arms and legs, until you're just a stick!"

"Of course, I'm not a devil, and I don't kill indiscriminately."

"Your heads will definitely be left intact..."

As his words fell.

Xu Xianzhi and his son were already pale as ghosts!

That calm voice seemed to come from hell itself!

Instantly!

A chill seeped through their entire bodies!

Looking at the cold, moon-like gleam of the dagger, its small blade radiating an intimidating aura!

Another saint-level weapon...!

Xu Xianzhi's scalp was already tingling!

"Don't worry, my dagger is small, but it's sharp enough. You won't suffer, hehehe..."

That smile was downright devilish!

A devil!!!

Ignoring the sudden warmth and stench seeping from his back.

Xu Xianzhi immediately began kowtowing like pounding garlic!

"Senior! Senior!"

"Let's talk this through!"

"I... I'll contact Emperor Bai right now! I'll contact him!!!"

As he watched the ground being dented from his kowtowing!

Yi Feng finally put away the dagger, satisfied, and clapped his hands!

"Get up."

The father and son shakily stood up, Xu Kaihan's pants now soaked!

Sigh.

Even the relatives of a saint are human after all.

In the end, they're still afraid of death.

If only they had known this earlier, why go through all this trouble!

Finally having dealt with these two master actors.

Yi Feng couldn't be bothered to pay them any more attention.

He simply walked towards his courtyard.

The two Zongzis, their legs numb, could only grit their teeth and follow, bowing like lackeys, completely devoid of their earlier arrogance.

Only when Yi Feng entered the courtyard.

Did he turn and ask.

"Alright, how are you going to contact Emperor Bai?"

As soon as he asked.

The father and son exchanged glances.

They had only said that earlier to save their lives, going along with the expert's words.

How could they actually contact Emperor Bai?!

Not only did they not know how to contact him.

They didn't even know who Emperor Bai was, having never even seen him!

But under the gaze of this demon.

The two trembled uncontrollably!

Xu Xianzhi had no choice but to force a smile and reply!

"Reporting to Senior..."

"I have a communication jade slip. I just need to send a message, and Emperor Bai will come..."

His smile was uglier than a cry.

His face wrinkled like a heel.

But at least now there was a real expert, and his death-seeking plan had hope.

Yi Feng nodded.

"Good."

"I'll wait for your news."

Then.

He temporarily untied them.

Watching as Xu Xianzhi took out the jade slip and sent a message with all the proper gestures.

Yi Feng finally felt at ease.

He then hung the two Zongzis at the entrance as markers, hoping to attract more hatred!

He leisurely went inside to lie down.

Fully prepared to wait for death!

Hearing no more movement.

The two Zongzis hanging at the entrance breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Phew..."

The esteemed Sect Master of the Moon Gazing Sect and his young master had now turned into two Zongzis swaying in the wind, a pitiful sight!

Even more absurd.

Xu Kaihan's urine stench was overwhelming.

Soon attracting a few stray dogs, jumping around and barking wildly below.

Truly, a tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs!

Though immense humiliation filled his heart, Xu Xianzhi couldn't care less.

His eyes were filled with despair!

How.

Could they possibly escape this calamity.

Emperor Bai was a true saint.

An existence so high and mighty.

How could he possibly come to this small town.

Just because of a message.

This time.

They were truly doomed...
