After the three left in a hurry, Zhang Wuwei quickly walked over, "Senior Brother, thank you."
"Why thank me? If you want to thank someone, it should be that kid Lin Xiao," Old Heavenly Master laughed.
As he spoke, Lin Xiao also emerged from Zhang Wuwei's shadow.
"Thank you, Old Heavenly Master."
Lin Xiao expressed his gratitude.
"Lin Xiao, you need a suitable place to adapt after your breakthrough. Later, come with me to Dragon Tiger Mountain," Old Heavenly Master sized Lin Xiao up and down before nodding.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. He indeed needed a suitable place to adapt to his current body and, more importantly, to study the final part of his cultivation technique. He was eager to discover how miraculous the latter half of this technique was.
"Senior Brother, are you taking him to..." Zhang Wuwei paused, as if he had a guess where they were going on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
"For him, that place should be the most suitable," Old Heavenly Master nodded.
"Senior Brother, you must be careful. That kid's cultivation technique is extremely potent. Don't absorb all the spiritual energy and vital essence of Dragon Tiger Mountain at once, or half of it might be depleted," Zhang Wuwei warned both Old Heavenly Master and Lin Xiao. He cautioned against Lin Xiao becoming so engrossed in his cultivation that he neglected everything else, potentially throwing Dragon Tiger Mountain into chaos.
"No, no, that won't happen," Lin Xiao said quickly, a hint of awkwardness in his smile. The surrounding vegetation had already begun to turn yellow.
Jiang Yuan and Yan Zhi Fei sat quietly in the river-view suite, facing a woman.
This was a woman whom Yan Zhi Fei found incredibly enviable at first glance.
She had long, slender legs, a proud décolletage, and a captivating snake-like waist. Especially now, dressed in a fiery red mini-dress, she was a sight to behold. Her seemingly pure face was paired with a pair of bewitching, electric eyes. It was a blend of purity and sexiness.
Yan Zhi Fei found it hard to control herself. She believed that any man seeing this woman would be captivated. This woman would undoubtedly become the object of pursuit for the lecherous gourmands of prominent families.
"Ladies, you've suffered. My subordinates are not well-trained and were a bit heavy-handed. My apologies," the woman said with a faint smile. She then turned and slapped the man who had held a gun to Yan Zhi Fei's mouth.
The man, after being slapped, showed no resentment. Instead, his face displayed an expression of enjoyment.
"...May I ask who you are?" Yan Zhi Fei's eyelids twitched. She had a bad premonition that this woman wasn't here because of their incident.
"You can call me Empress," the woman adjusted her posture. With a gesture, the man beside her immediately produced a box of cigarettes, and another man quickly offered a lighter. She lit a cigarette, her movements elegant. In the hazy smoke, she exuded an aura of an otherworldly goddess.
Yan Zhi Fei had never heard this name before. Perhaps her and Jiang Yuan's social circles were not yet high enough to encounter women like Empress. Upon closer inspection, the jewelry she wore was exceptionally valuable. However, no matter the circumstance, Yan Zhi Fei found it difficult to focus her gaze on these ornaments. For Empress, what she wore seemed secondary. While others wore jewelry to appear opulent, it was Empress who made the jewelry appear precious.
"I invited you two here for a simple reason: I wish for you to introduce me to Chu Feng. As an exchange, I will have your family matters settled," Empress finally revealed her purpose.
Chu Feng! It was indeed Chu Feng! Yan Zhi Fei knew that a woman like this would not be interested in people like her and Jiang Yuan, nor would she covet their family's trivial affairs. It could only be Chu Feng.
"Absolutely! I promise to help!" Jiang Yuan said eagerly. When it came to this matter, she was more anxious than anyone.
"But..." Yan Zhi Fei looked at her in confusion. "We're actually not very familiar with Chu Feng, and we don't have his contact information either."
"These are not problems," Empress had already learned everything before bringing them here, so she naturally knew that Yan Zhi Fei and Jiang Yuan were merely blind dates from a few years ago. She looked at Yan Zhi Fei and said, "Since Chu Feng saved you, then naturally, your very existence is the best calling card."
Chu Feng was already on his way to the Zheng family. To uncover the truth of that incident and the whereabouts of his five aunts, the Zheng family was the most likely source of information. He had already sent Bao Zao and the Five Divine Generals to the Zhou family. He trusted his subordinates' strength; with their capabilities, the Zhou family would be no match for Bao Zao. As for himself, he needed to go to the imperial capital to investigate the secrets hidden within the most powerful family in the capital.
When the Chu family was divided, the Zheng family took nothing. Clearly, the Zheng family was not after the Chu family's wealth. In other words, the Zheng family of the imperial capital would not mobilize a massive force for a group of people tens of thousands of miles away over another family's estate. Either someone within the Chu family had threatened the Zheng family or caused a conflict with them, or there was someone directing them from behind the scenes. However, given that the Zheng family made such a decision, the identity of this hidden orchestrator was quite intriguing.
It was expected that he would encounter some trouble on his way to the Zheng family. This would serve as an opportunity to see what challenges the Zheng family could present. Would it be advanced weaponry stronger than "Oriental Number One"? Or perhaps they had enlisted one of the Dragon Country's five Grandmasters? Or maybe... both. Or even... his flight might be blown up in mid-air.
Chu Feng leaned back against his seat and glanced at the white clouds outside. Even if the plane crashed now, he wouldn't be worried.
Bao Zao, along with the Wu Divine Generals, appeared at the entrance of the Zhou family villa in Huadu. Unlike the modern Western-style villa of the Dongfang family, the Zhou family's residence incorporated traditional Chinese architecture, giving it an antique and elegant appearance.
"These guys really know how to live. Their house is so elaborately decorated; you'd think it was some ancient artifact," Bao Zao grumbled, twirling a military knife in his hand as he eyed the grand residence.
