Tianya Pavilion.
Li Feng looked at Li Xinyu sitting beside him. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Li Xinyu had now truly become a burden, as if she was glued to him and would not let him leave for even a moment. Yet he could not bring himself to get angry with her.
Whenever he saw that pitiful look in Li Xinyu’s eyes, any anger in his heart simply vanished.
Li Feng… Hu Yuanyuan walked in.
The moment she saw Hu Yuanyuan, Li Xinyu got scared. Her small hand tightly grabbed Li Feng’s arm.
Rain, do not worry. This is your sister-in-law… Li Feng quickly comforted Li Xinyu. But no matter how he tried to reassure her, Li Xinyu remained the same. Her whole body kept trembling. Li Feng could even feel her divine sense fluctuating more and more frequently.
Not good.
Li Feng’s expression changed greatly. Frequent fluctuations in Li Xinyu’s divine sense meant her sea of consciousness was about to go into chaos. For Li Xinyu, every episode of sea of consciousness turmoil made her condition worse.
Rain, let us play the game from yesterday. Li Feng quickly moved behind Li Xinyu, performed the Nourishing Spirit Technique, and guided her in cultivation.
Hu Yuanyuan watched Li Feng’s anxious appearance. For a moment she forgot why she had come. She looked nervously at Li Xinyu and Li Feng.
Tap tap…
At that moment, footsteps sounded.
Fourth Aunt. Hu Yuanyuan heard the footsteps, turned her head toward the door, saw the person arriving, and quickly went to greet her.
Hu Yuanyuan, Rain she… Yuan Muyun walked in, saw Li Feng and Li Xinyu, and could not help but be startled.
Fourth Aunt, they are cultivating. Hu Yuanyuan replied.
Yuan Muyun nodded. Last night she had seen Li Feng guide Li Xinyu in cultivation. What she wanted to ask was how Li Xinyu’s condition was now. But seeing Hu Yuanyuan’s serious expression, Yuan Muyun did not ask more.
Fourth Aunt, you are here. After guiding Li Xinyu through several cycles of the Nourishing Spirit Technique, Li Feng opened his eyes.
Li Feng, how is Rain? Yuan Muyun asked eagerly. But because Li Xinyu was cultivating, Yuan Muyun kept her voice very low.
The situation is still the same as before. Right now we can only prevent Rain from having another attack. Curing Rain completely is not something that can happen overnight. Li Feng shook his head and said. He did hope Li Xinyu would recover quickly. That way he would have one less burden. But Li Xinyu’s condition could not be rushed.
As long as she no longer has attacks, that is enough. Yuan Muyun said. Li Xinyu’s illness had lasted so many years. Even if Li Feng had the skills of an immortal, he could not heal her so quickly. Now that Li Feng could stop her from having attacks, Yuan Muyun was already very satisfied.
Fourth Aunt, for this period stay in Tianya Pavilion and teach Rain some things. Li Feng did not know whether it was because of the chaos in her sea of consciousness or some other reason, but Li Xinyu’s current intelligence seemed like that of a five- or six-year-old child. This would not do. Whether for her future cultivation or for staying by his side, this had to change.
Li Feng had no time to teach Li Xinyu himself. Hu Yuanyuan could not get close to her either. So this task could only be given to Yuan Muyun.
Yuan Muyun nodded.
Li Feng chatted with Yuan Muyun for a while, then left the room with Hu Yuanyuan.
Li Feng, how is Rain? After leaving the room, Hu Yuanyuan asked eagerly.
The situation is still under control. Now we can only hope the Nourishing Spirit Technique helps Rain. But making Rain fully recover will not happen in a short time. At this point Li Feng looked at Hu Yuanyuan and asked: Yuanyuan, did you come to find me because something happened?
Hu Yuanyuan nodded. Zhong Shuhui said Situ Lei came again. He wants to see you.
Situ Lei? A cold smile curved at the corner of Li Feng’s mouth. Go tell Zhong Shuhui that for these two days I will not see Situ Lei. Ask her to block him for me.
Li Feng, is that alright? Today Situ Lei came with very valuable gifts. Hu Yuanyuan hesitated and said.
Valuable gifts? Li Feng smiled disdainfully and said: This is within expectations. Situ Qiang is the young master of the Situ family, a direct line descendant. If news that he fell into my hands spreads to others in the Situ family, it would probably cause internal chaos. So right now Situ Lei is under great pressure. He wants to rescue Situ Qiang from me as soon as possible. But how could I let him have his way?
The more anxious Situ Lei and the others became, the more important Situ Qiang was to them. Naturally Li Feng wanted to sell high and gain unexpected benefits.
Li Feng, do you know what Situ Lei brought today? Hu Yuanyuan said.
Why? Did the gift Situ Lei brought shock even you? Li Feng looked at Hu Yuanyuan strangely.
Yes. Situ Lei’s gift is a Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit. Hu Yuanyuan said in a deep voice.
Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit? Li Feng narrowed his eyes. A flash of shock passed through them. Of course he knew what a Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit was. Not long ago he had consumed one himself. But he never expected the Situ family to bring out a Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit just for Situ Qiang.
Yes. So Zhong Shuhui could not handle this matter and asked me to come ask you. Hu Yuanyuan nodded and said.
The Situ family is really generous. Even I feel a little tempted. Li Feng took a deep breath to calm his emotions. Honestly, even he was moved by a heavenly treasure like the Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit. Trading one Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit for a spoiled young master like Situ Qiang would be a huge profit for Li Feng.
But Li Feng forced himself to calm down. The Situ family had already produced a Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit. This could not be their bottom line. So he still wanted to test where the Situ family’s true limit lay.
Li Feng, then you…
Before Hu Yuanyuan could finish, Li Feng spoke. Hu Yuanyuan, go tell Situ Lei that right now I have no interest in seeing him. As for the Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit, ask him to take it back. I cannot accept it.
Li Feng, is this really wise? You already refused Situ Lei once. If you refuse again this time, I am afraid the Situ family will fall out completely. Hu Yuanyuan said hesitantly.
Just do as I say. Right now I need to go meet someone. Li Feng did not explain further. He said goodbye to Hu Yuanyuan and left Tianya Pavilion.
Hu Yuanyuan had no choice but to head to the reception room where Situ Lei was waiting.
In the reception room, after hearing Hu Yuanyuan’s words, Situ Lei turned livid with anger. He looked coldly at Hu Yuanyuan and said: General Manager Hu, go tell Li Feng not to push his luck. The Situ family is not someone he can afford to offend.
Situ Lei, are you threatening me? Hu Yuanyuan’s expression changed. She looked coldly at Situ Lei and said. Although she did not understand why Li Feng refused, in front of Situ Lei she still tried her best to protect Li Feng’s interests.
You can think of it that way. Situ Lei said coldly. He had come humbly to see Li Feng, only to get this result. Even with Situ Lei’s good temper, rage now burned in his heart.
Situ Lei, do you think our young master is afraid of your Situ family? Moreover, the main culprit in this matter is your Situ family’s young master. Zhong Shuhui also said coldly: If our young master had not been fortunate and tough, he might have died at Situ Qiang’s hands this time. Regarding this, I wonder how your Situ family plans to give us an explanation. Can one apology from you, Situ Lei, settle everything?
At this point Zhong Shuhui gave Situ Lei a cold look and said: Now if our young master killed Situ Qiang and then said one apology to your Situ family, would your Situ family let it go just like that?
You… Situ Lei’s face turned ashen.
Situ Lei, our young master does not want to see you. Then Tianya Pavilion does not welcome you. Please leave now. Zhong Shuhui said coldly.
You are very good. Situ Lei gritted his teeth, glared at Zhong Shuhui and Hu Yuanyuan, then turned and left the reception room.
Young madam, did the young master tell you why he is doing this? After seeing Situ Lei leave, Zhong Shuhui asked Hu Yuanyuan.
He said nothing. I also do not know what he means. Hu Yuanyuan shook her head and said: But refusing Situ Lei this time means we have completely broken ties with the Situ family. I really do not know what benefit Li Feng gets from this.
Perhaps the young master has his own plans. Zhong Shuhui thought for a moment but could not figure it out. She took a file from her space bag and handed it to Hu Yuanyuan: Young madam, this is some information about Fengyuan Group and the young master’s maglev car. You might need it when you go to the company later.
Hu Yuanyuan nodded, took the documents, and asked: Zhong Shuhui, how is the investigation into Fang Xiao going? Thinking of Fang Xiao, who had built the company with her, betraying her and then committing suicide, Hu Yuanyuan felt uneasy inside.
Fang Xiao. Zhong Shuhui’s expression became grave.
What is it? Did something happen? Hu Yuanyuan asked.
Yes. Zhong Shuhui nodded and said: At first I also thought Fang Xiao committed suicide. But last night when I was checking the surveillance footage of Fengyuan Group, I found that after the young master and we left Tianfu Building that night, a man in black entered Tianfu Building and went to Fengyuan Group.
You suspect Fang Xiao was killed by this man in black? Hu Yuanyuan’s expression changed.
Yes. I already had someone examine Fang Xiao’s body. If Fang Xiao did not commit suicide but was murdered, then this matter with Fang Xiao is not over yet. There is still someone behind Fang Xiao that we do not know about. Zhong Shuhui nodded and said.
Li Feng said before that you all suspected the person behind Fang Xiao was Liu Dongjian from the Liu family. Now can we find a breakthrough through Liu Dongjian? Hu Yuanyuan asked.
This will take time. Liu Dongjian is refusing to say anything right now. If Fang Xiao was killed by the man in black who sneaked into Fengyuan Group later, then there is probably someone else behind Fang Xiao. Zhong Shuhui said gravely.
Hu Yuanyuan’s expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, an Eagle Eye sharp warrior rushed into the reception room, panting heavily, and said: Commander Zhong, bad news. Liu Dongjian is dead…
