“What?”
Li Feng was greatly shocked. He looked at Mu Jiajia with disbelief. Yuan Muyun was with Li Wu. What exactly was going on?
Could it be that Li Wu had kidnapped Yuan Muyun?
Li Feng shook his head. While that possibility existed, it was not very likely. After all, why would Li Wu kidnap Yuan Muyun for no reason?
To use Yuan Muyun to threaten Li Zhengxiang?
Although that was possible, the likelihood was low. There was simply no need for it, and it was not a long-term solution. Moreover, if the higher-ups in the Li family found out that Li Wu had done this, their impression of him would change. Li Wu was not a fool, so he would never come up with such a method.
Then, if it was not for this reason, what was it?
Li Feng turned to look at Li Zhengxiang.
At this moment, Li Zhengxiang’s expression was extremely interesting. His face changed several times in an instant. Then, Li Zhengxiang took out his phone, walked to the side, and started making a call.
Li Feng glanced at Li Zhengxiang’s back, and his eyes flickered.
In that moment, he sensed something unusual about Li Zhengxiang. It seemed as if Yuan Muyun being with Li Wu was within his expectations, yet also beyond them.
What exactly was the reason?
Li Feng’s eyes flashed, and a thoughtful look appeared in them.
“Li Feng, I will leave first.” Five minutes later, Li Zhengxiang came back to Li Feng and said.
“Fourth Uncle, then Fourth Aunt she…”
“Your fourth aunt is fine.” Li Zhengxiang looked at Li Feng as if he wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, he let out a long sigh and left.
After Li Zhengxiang left, Mu Jiajia said, “Li Feng, it seems the fourth master is hiding something.”
“I know.” A sharp light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Li Zhengxiang’s hesitation and the fact that he had talked on the phone for nearly five minutes gave Li Feng no doubt that Li Zhengxiang was concealing something from him. However, since Li Zhengxiang would not say it, there was nothing else Li Feng could do.
“Mu Jiajia, when you investigated and found Li Wu and Fourth Aunt together, what were they doing?” Li Feng turned to ask Mu Jiajia.
“They were eating at Yumi Zhi Xiang.” Mu Jiajia replied.
“Eating? That is strange. Fourth Uncle just said Fourth Aunt’s phone was unreachable. If they were just eating, do you think Fourth Aunt’s phone would really be unreachable?” Li Feng said in a deep voice.
“Maybe the battery died.” Mu Jiajia said.
“Yes, the battery dying is a good explanation. If it were someone else, I would believe it. But since this is Fourth Aunt, I do not think so.” Li Feng shook his head and said.
“Why?” Mu Jiajia asked with some confusion.
“Because even if Fourth Aunt’s phone died, she would find a way to notify Fourth Uncle. And in Tianhai City, it is not hard to find a phone to make a call.” Li Feng said gravely.
“You mean Fourth Madam losing contact has something to do with Li Wu?” Mu Jiajia somewhat understood.
“That is right. I think Fourth Uncle also realised this. Otherwise, he would not have talked on the phone for so long just now.” Li Feng said. He glanced at Mu Jiajia and asked, “Is there any way to find out what Li Wu is planning?”
“It is difficult. After all, we have no one from Eagle Eye near Li Wu. With the strength of the experts around Li Wu, it is hard for our people to get close to them. But we can try. Whether it succeeds or not is uncertain.” Mu Jiajia thought for a moment and said.
“Then go and try. Whether it succeeds or not, trying is better than nothing.” Li Feng thought for a while, then added, “Also, it would be best to find a way to place some people around Fourth Uncle, even if they are unimportant. They might come in useful later.”
“I will arrange it right away.” Mu Jiajia nodded and quickly left the lounge.
Li Feng’s eyes flickered. As he stood up and headed towards Li Xinyu’s cultivation bedroom, he continued thinking about Yuan Muyun’s matter.
Li Wu had cut off Yuan Muyun’s contact with the outside world for no reason. If there was nothing going on, Li Feng would not believe it even if beaten to death. If Li Zhengxiang had not come looking for him today, he could have pretended nothing happened. But since Li Zhengxiang had come today, if he did not get to the bottom of this matter, he would not feel at ease.
“Big Brother, where did you go? I thought you left again.” In the bedroom, Li Xinyu had already finished cultivating. When she saw Li Feng walk in, she said with some dissatisfaction.
“Big Brother went to handle some matters.” Li Feng felt helpless about how clingy Li Xinyu was. If she were his woman, it would be fine, and he could act without any reservations. But since she was his sister, there were some things he had to avoid in front of her.
“Oh.” Li Xinyu looked a little unhappy.
“Xinyu, how do you feel right now?” Li Feng asked.
“It feels very strange.” Li Xinyu tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, “It is like there is a little worm moving around, giving a warm and fuzzy feeling.”
“A little worm?” Li Feng was stunned at first, then he realised. The “little worm” Li Xinyu mentioned was probably true qi.
Thinking of this, Li Feng’s face filled with shock. He never imagined that Li Xinyu would produce true qi on her very first cultivation session. Was it because Li Xinyu’s talent was too high, or was the Misty Art cultivation method too miraculous?
But Li Feng felt both were possible. After all, Li Xinyu had a special physique, and the Misty Art was tailor-made for someone with Li Xinyu’s special physique. The two complemented each other perfectly, allowing Li Xinyu to produce true qi so quickly.
“Big Brother, what is this?” Li Xinyu asked curiously.
“This is true qi.” Li Feng said.
“True qi? What is true qi used for?” Li Xinyu asked curiously.
“True qi is used to beat bad people, like this…” As Li Feng spoke, he struck forward with a palm.
Boom!
A palm force appeared in mid-air and smashed the tea table in front into pieces.
“Ah.” Li Xinyu looked at the shattered tea table in shock, then at Li Feng. Her heart was filled with astonishment.
“Big Brother, is this true qi? Why can I not do it?” Li Xinyu tried striking a few palms, but there was no reaction at all.
“That is because Xinyu has only just started cultivating. Once Xinyu has cultivated for a longer time, you will be able to do it like Big Brother.” Li Feng laughed inwardly. If Li Xinyu could already release palm force now, that would be truly strange. After all, releasing palm force had conditions. At the very least, one needed to reach the third level of Houtian before it was possible.
The strength of palm force depended on the strength of true qi. The stronger the true qi, the greater the power of the released palm force. And the strength of true qi depended on the grade of the cultivation method. The better the method, the thicker the true qi at the same realm.
“Cultivate?” Li Xinyu looked at Li Feng in confusion.
“Yes, the game Big Brother taught you is cultivation. But Xinyu, this game was specially prepared by Big Brother for you. You must not tell anyone about it, okay?” Li Feng said.
“Mm, Xinyu will not tell a single person.” Li Xinyu nodded heavily, then asked, “Big Brother, if I cultivate hard in the future, will I become as powerful as Big Brother?”
“Yes, so Xinyu must work hard. When Xinyu becomes as powerful as Big Brother, then you can go beat bad people together with Big Brother.” Li Feng nodded and said.
“Big Brother, do not worry. Xinyu will definitely work hard at cultivation. Then I will go beat bad people together with Big Brother.” Li Xinyu nodded solemnly.
Li Feng smiled, very satisfied with Xinyu’s words. However, Li Feng did not know that he had only wanted Li Xinyu to cultivate diligently, yet he had ended up creating a monster.
Li Feng chatted with Li Xinyu for a while longer, then told her to rest. He left the bedroom once again.
“Young Master Feng, I just received news. Fourth Master and Li Wu have started arguing.” Mu Jiajia rushed over hurriedly at that moment.
“They started arguing? At Yumi Zhi Xiang?” Li Feng was stunned. This was completely beyond his expectations. Why had Li Zhengxiang and Li Wu started arguing?
“Yes.” Mu Jiajia nodded.
“Then what about Fourth Aunt?” Li Feng asked.
“Fourth Madam left when Fourth Master went to Yumi Zhi Xiang. But when she left, there was no change in her expression. It looked like she was just going to visit someone.” Mu Jiajia replied.
“It seems only Fourth Uncle knows the whole story. Fourth Aunt’s disappearance was just a tactic Li Wu used against Fourth Uncle. There must be something between them.” Li Feng’s expression became grave. He did not dare underestimate Li Wu’s methods. Although he had been playing Li Wu like a fool recently, that was only because Li Wu had never truly treated him as a real opponent. In his subconscious, Li Wu still saw him as the old Li Feng.
If Li Wu adapted to his changes, Li Feng believed that Li Wu at that time would not be easy to deal with. Just like Zhu Yuanyang. On the surface, Zhu Yuanyang was a great beauty, but when it came to using methods, few people could match her.
Among the direct representatives of the eight top families in Tianhai City, he had only not truly fought against Ma Xiaoyong, Jin Songyang, and Ying Suyan. But he figured those people were probably no worse than Qin Feng and the others.
And in Li Feng’s heart, Li Wu’s danger level was second only to Zhu Yuanyang.
“One of my subordinates knows lip reading and has recorded some of the words between Fourth Master and Li Wu. Because of the position, only part of their conversation was captured. I do not know if it is useful.” Mu Jiajia handed Li Feng a piece of paper.
Li Feng looked at it carefully, and his brows furrowed. Although there were quite a few fragments, he could not glean any useful information from them.
“Continue monitoring them. Before the King of Fighters Championship, I need to know their every move.” Li Feng said gravely. However, the King of Fighters Championship was only a few days away. He believed that before the championship, Li Wu probably would not have any schemes. Even if he did, Li Feng had no mind to deal with them now. In Li Feng’s heart, the most important thing at the moment was the King of Fighters Championship. Everything else could wait until after it ended.
Of course, if during the King of Fighters Championship Li Wu came looking for trouble with him, that would be even better. At that time, he could kill him without any reservations.
The next day. Li Feng got up early in the morning. After cultivating for a quarter of an hour, he restored his spirit to peak condition. Then he made final preparations for selling spots in the King of Fighters Championship that evening.
And at that moment, an unexpected visitor arrived at Tianya Pavilion.
