After hanging up Song Zhiyuan’s phone, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
Song Zhiyuan’s call was very simple. He just wanted to meet him. Of course, that was not the key point. The key was that Miao Xingyun wanted to see him. As for Song Zhiyuan, Li Feng felt he could not stir up much trouble, but this Miao Xingyun was different. Miao Xingyun was from the Miao ethnicity, and people from the Miao ethnicity were the most unpredictable in the world.
Why would Miao Xingyun want to see him at this time?
Li Feng would not think that Miao Xingyun simply wanted to meet him for no reason. Miao Xingyun and he had only met once, their relationship was not deep, and there was no need to specially arrange a meeting through Song Zhiyuan.
So, what was Miao Xingyun’s purpose?
With doubt in his heart, Li Feng arrived at the location agreed with Song Zhiyuan and the others.
“Young Master Feng.” As soon as Li Feng appeared, Song Zhiyuan and Miao Xingyun both came forward to greet him.
“Young Master Song, Young Master Miao.” Li Feng smiled and stepped forward. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Not at all, Young Master Feng. We have only just arrived ourselves. Let us go inside and talk.” Song Zhiyuan smiled and said.
“Good.”
Everyone entered a private room.
Li Feng got straight to the point and asked, “Young Master Miao, I heard from Young Master Song that you wanted to see me?”
“Yes.” Miao Xingyun nodded, glanced at Li Feng, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
“Haha, Young Master Miao, just say whatever you want. I am listening.” Li Feng smiled, but he was somewhat vigilant in his heart. Miao Xingyun’s intention today was probably not simple. He just did not know what the other wanted to do.
“Young Master Feng, do you know why I came to Tianhai City this time?” Miao Xingyun spoke.
Li Feng shook his head, though in his heart he thought Miao Xingyun had come for the Fist King Championship. However, at this moment, he naturally would not say it.
“I came this time to find a traitor.” Miao Xingyun said gravely.
“A traitor?” Li Feng was stunned.
“Yes. A traitor from our Miao ethnicity.” Miao Xingyun nodded and said.
“Young Master Miao, do you mean you want me to help find this traitor from your Miao ethnicity?” Li Feng’s gaze sharpened, and he looked at Miao Xingyun with some hesitation. He already had all sorts of matters on his plate right now. Helping Miao Xingyun find a Miao traitor was impossible.
“No, I mean this Miao traitor is connected to Young Master Feng’s family.” Miao Xingyun shook his head and said.
“My family?” Li Feng was stunned, and he immediately thought of the gu on Li Quan. Could the person who planted the gu on Li Quan be a Miao traitor?
Though he thought this in his heart, Li Feng did not say it out loud. After all, he did not know if what Miao Xingyun said was true or false, and he still maintained a degree of caution towards people from the Miao ethnicity.
“Yes, our Miao traitor has connections with someone in Young Master Feng’s family, so I want to see if I can find him through Young Master Feng.” Miao Xingyun nodded and said.
“Young Master Miao, you overestimate me.” Li Feng gave a bitter smile and said, “Even I do not fully understand my own family. I have no idea if anyone in the family has ties to the Miao ethnicity. After all, my family is so vast, with hundreds of thousands of people. The ones I know are less than one in a thousand.”
“But Young Master Miao, rest assured. Since you have mentioned it, I will do my best to investigate. No matter who this person is, I will try my hardest to find him for you.” Li Feng said solemnly.
“Then I thank Young Master Feng in advance.” Miao Xingyun nodded. He knew how enormous the Li family was. It was unlikely for Li Feng to find the person in a short time. With Li Feng agreeing like this, his goal was already achieved.
If he had not truly run out of options, he absolutely would not have come to Li Feng for help. After all, this was a Miao ethnicity matter.
“You are too polite, Young Master Miao. You are Young Master Song’s friend, so you are my friend. In the future, if you need anything, just ask. Though I may not be able to accomplish it, I will do my utmost to help you.” Li Feng said.
Regarding the gu on Li Quan, Li Feng had originally planned to go to the Miao ethnicity to check the situation. But now, according to Miao Xingyun, it might be the work of a Miao traitor. Li Feng felt this could very well be true. After all, Miao traitors were notoriously numerous.
In his previous life, Li Feng had also encountered many Miao traitors. The reason the Miao ethnicity produced so many traitors was related to their own rules. It could be said that those in the Miao ethnicity who were unwilling to live in obscurity often rebelled and left.
If the gu on Li Quan was truly related to a Miao traitor, combined with Miao Xingyun’s words, this Miao traitor was very likely together with someone in their family. That would be a big problem.
Miao gu techniques specialised in controlling people, similar in effect to his divine control technique, but gu techniques were far more vicious. Unlike divine control, gu control depended on the number of gu insects. With enough gu insects, one could control enough people.
If this Miao traitor joined forces with someone in the Li family to control Li family members one by one, it would be a catastrophe for the Li family.
Take Li Quan, for example. He was controlled by a heart gu. If Li Feng had not recognised this heart gu, they probably would not even know how Li Quan died.
So today, although it was Miao Xingyun asking for his help, Li Feng did not refuse, because this was not just helping Miao Xingyun. It was also helping himself. The Li family was his Li family. With his status, he was bound to take control of the Li family in the future, so he would never allow anyone to harm it.
However, he also knew this was not a simple matter. Finding this person hidden in the Li family would probably not succeed in a short time.
Of course, Li Feng was not in a hurry. After the Fist King Championship ended, he would have plenty of time to investigate.
Miao Xingyun did not know what Li Feng was thinking, but the sincerity in Li Feng’s words satisfied him. He had originally worried that Li Feng would flatly refuse. Now that Li Feng agreed, it was a good thing for him.
Li Feng suddenly remembered a doubt and asked puzzled, “Young Master Miao, since you believe your Miao traitor has connections with someone in our Li family, why did you not go to Yanjing but come to Tianhai City instead?”
Yanjing was the Li family’s main base. Miao Xingyun did not go to Yanjing but came to Tianhai City. Did he think the Miao traitor was in Tianhai City? Or that the person connected to the Miao traitor was in Tianhai City?
“Because I sensed that the gu insects raised by that traitor have appeared in Tianhai City.” Miao Xingyun said gravely.
“Appeared in Tianhai City?” Li Feng’s gaze sharpened. Was Miao Xingyun referring to the heart gu on Li Quan, or gu insects on someone else controlled by the Miao traitor?
If it was the heart gu on Li Quan, then the person Miao Xingyun was looking for now was Li Quan. The heart gu from Li Quan was currently in his spatial pouch. Since it was stored there, Miao Xingyun absolutely could not sense it.
If it was not Li Quan, then who was Miao Xingyun looking for?
Li Feng thought of Li Wu. Miao Xingyun said the Miao traitor was connected to a Li family member. Could it be someone around Li Wu? That was not impossible.
As for Li Wu himself, that was impossible. Li Wu was one of the Li family heirs. He absolutely could not be controlled by gu insects. The Li family experts would never fail to detect gu control. If Li Wu were controlled, he would never become one of the heirs. Otherwise, if Li Wu passed the heir selection and became heir or even family head, would that not mean the entire Li family was controlled?
As a family that had existed for over two thousand years, the Li family would never allow such a thing to happen, because if it did, the entire family would be finished.
“Yes, that is why I came to Tianhai City.” Miao Xingyun nodded and said.
“I understand. If I discover who it is, I will definitely inform Young Master Miao.” Li Feng’s expression grew somewhat solemn. After all, this concerned his own family. No one wanted to see such a thing happen to their family. Li Feng was the same. He would never allow problems in his family. The family was his home. If one did not even care about home, no matter how strong one became, it was meaningless.
“To express my gratitude to Young Master Feng, if there is anywhere Young Master Feng needs my help, just ask.” Miao Xingyun looked at Li Feng and said, “I heard Young Master Feng is dealing with Blood Shadow from the Hongmen. If Young Master Feng needs me to act, just say the word.”
“Yes, Young Master Feng. And me too. We are allies after all. Your affairs are my affairs. If there is anything we can do, just ask.” Song Zhiyuan also spoke at this moment.
“Good.” A glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. He had considered asking Song Zhiyuan for help, but since it involved the family’s stance, he could not bring himself to ask. Now that Song Zhiyuan and Miao Xingyun had offered themselves, Li Feng would not refuse.
Because he was worried about Li Wu and Qin Feng. In his plan, with the forces he currently controlled, dealing with Blood Shadow and the others was more than enough. But if Li Wu and Qin Feng were added, even though he had arrangements, unexpected issues might arise. However, if Song Zhiyuan and Miao Xingyun joined, it would be different.
“However, Young Master Feng, I can only mobilise my own forces to help you. Uncle Ning cannot act this time.” Song Zhiyuan thought of how Uncle Ning opposed him continuing the alliance with Li Feng, so this time, he had not mentioned helping Li Feng to Uncle Ning.
“Young Master Feng, I came alone this time.” Miao Xingyun said.
“Haha, having the two of you help is enough.” Li Feng smiled and said. Song Zhiyuan’s strength was not great. Li Feng believed that apart from Uncle Ning, the subordinates he could mobilise would not be very strong either. But this was not just a matter of strength. It was a matter of attitude.
Moreover, although Song Zhiyuan’s strength was not great, Miao Xingyun’s strength was considerable, and Miao people had many methods. They could often kill invisibly.
Of course, Li Feng understood that Song Zhiyuan’s help was probably because the two were allies, but Miao Xingyun was different. He was only doing it so that Li Feng would help find the Miao traitor. In the end, it was just a transaction between the two.
However, for Li Feng, this was actually an unexpected gain.
