Chapter 874: I'm Going to Make Trouble for Li Yang
As a special organization led by the Dragon Group, it holds a very powerful and unique position within the country. While its high-ranking leaders are incredibly powerful, they still treat these outsiders with great respect and deference. The Dragon Group's influence extends far and wide; after all, many of its leaders are cultivators—perhaps this enhances their physical abilities and extends their lifespan?
After this incident, they paid even more attention to cultivators. Fei Ling, the leader of the Dragon Group, immediately received the intelligence and suddenly remembered his sister's instructions. Analyzing all the intelligence, he concluded that Li Yang was the most likely person his sister had mentioned, and he also possessed the necessary strength. After all, there were only a handful of cultivators in the world, all with names and reputations. The only exception was Li Yang, a self-taught cultivator who had suddenly appeared without any connections.
He immediately called his sister and said, "Feihua, I've found the person you asked me to find."
Feihua, who was meditating and cultivating in the Jade Void Palace in the Kunlun Mountains, was very excited when she received her brother's call. She asked, "Really? Where are you?"
"Our current location should be in Jiangnan City," Fei Ling said.
"In Jiangnan City? I ran into him in Jiangdong City that day, I didn't expect him to have gone to Jiangnan City. I have to go find him~" Feihua muttered.
"No! You're still in seclusion, your master will be furious!" Fei Ling immediately stopped her.
"What can we do? That guy is so awful. Saving people is nothing special. I'm not grateful!" Fei Hua said unhappily. The Fei family is a large, secretive family in the country, operating outside the national system. They have astronomical wealth. Family members never need to work; they only need to spend money. Their foundation is managed by specialized personnel.
What they had to do was spend money to hire professional private tutors from a young age to teach them etiquette, golf, horse racing, and other advanced skills. Of course, those with talent who could be valued by major cultivation sects were even more remarkable. Fei Hua and Fei Ling, the siblings, were the pride of their family, both being valued by Kunlun, the number one cultivation sect, and becoming its disciples. The elder brother, Fei Ling, became a disciple of Tian Guangzi. Fei Hua was even more extraordinary, being valued by the sect leader, Tian Yuanzi.
She was born into a wealthy family, and although she had learned etiquette and knew that as a member of the family she should be gentle, kind, respectful, and frugal, she was still naturally proud and exceptionally talented. Otherwise, Tian Yuanzi would not have valued her so much, making her one of the best cultivators, and she would have already reached the mid-stage of Qi Induction in her twenties.
Always striving to be number one, she looked down on everyone else. Unexpectedly, she couldn't defeat a cunning monkey, watching him humiliate a woman. Even after taking action, she couldn't subdue him, only to be rescued by Li Yang. Her frustration is understandable.
She had always wanted to get revenge on Li Yang. But seeing that Li Yang wasn't much older than her, yet his abilities far surpassed hers, she became even more resentful. Forced into seclusion by her master, she wasn't allowed to emerge until she broke through to the late stage of the Qi Induction Realm.
At that time, Li Yang's main body was only in the late stage of Qi Induction, and his second primordial spirit, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, was only in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.
"Hmph! I'll be breaking through soon, and Master won't stop me then. So tell me, what's he doing in Jiangnan City?" Fei Hua said smugly.
"You've improved so quickly, much better than me." Fei Ling was a little annoyed. He had entered the Kunlun Daoist sect at least five years earlier than Fei Hua, and the sisters were quite far apart in age. Yet, he was only at the late stage of the Qi Induction Realm. Fei Hua, on the other hand, had entered the sect five years later and was already approaching the late stage of the Qi Induction Realm. No wonder Tian Yuanzi had taken a liking to her.
"Oh, big brother, stop being so sour. Just tell me already~" Fei Hua said with a laugh.
"Alright, I might as well tell you. He joined the National Security Bureau, and I don't really know what he's doing in Jiangnan City. But given his background in organized crime, it probably isn't anything good," Fei Ling said helplessly. Although he was sometimes annoyed with his younger sister, he still loved her most of the time.
"He joined the National Security Bureau? Isn't he a cultivator? Aren't cultivators supposed to join the Dragon Clan? Aren't they supposed to be under your leadership? How could he join the National Security Bureau? Did the higher-ups agree to it?" Fei Hua said in astonishment.
"Yes. He's an unorthodox practitioner, not belonging to any sect. He has no master. According to your description, his Taoist techniques have some resemblance to those of the Shu Mountain sect. But I've already sent a letter to the Shu Mountain sect to inquire, and they said they have no such disciple or successor. I think he must have unwittingly obtained the inheritance of some rogue cultivator, right? His master, Lu Chen, is just a martial artist and doesn't understand cultivation. But according to intelligence, Lu Chen has recently been in seclusion, probably obtaining Li Yang's techniques. The world is about to become too peaceful. These suddenly appearing individuals don't abide by the boundaries between cultivators, nor do they care about the rules of major sects. The problem is very complicated," Fei Ling said with a headache.
"He's a scoundrel; it would be strange if he listened to you. You dare to indulge him? Aren't you afraid he'll cause a huge mess?" Fei Hua said unhappily.
"Probably not. He still knows what he's doing. Otherwise, do you think the higher-ups would let him live so comfortably?" Fei Ling said.
“That’s true. Then I’ll join the National Security Bureau after I’m out of quarantine,” Fei Hua suddenly said.
"What? My dear sister, are you out of your mind? Did you go crazy from being secluded?" Fei Ling's jaw nearly dropped to the ground in surprise.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine. I'm just going to go and cause him trouble. I can't stand his arrogant face. When I come out of seclusion, I'll be at the late stage of Qi Induction. He's at most at that level. I also have the treasure pouch my master gave me, the Qian Yuan Pill, and the Rainbow Immortal Sword. He'll only have the chance to kneel down and beg for mercy. He'll be no match for me!" Fei Hua said smugly.
"The sect leader gave you so many good things? That's so unfair!" Fei Ling shouted in frustration.
"Tch... I'm not going to say anything more. I need to continue my cultivation. I'm in a hurry to come out of seclusion. Remember, I want to join the National Security Bureau~" Fei Hua mumbled before hanging up the phone.
Fei Ling stared at her phone, feeling frustrated and with a headache. Fei Hua was so willful. If she were to do it for her, people from other sects would definitely laugh at her. Although her master doted on her and wouldn't say anything, it would indeed bring her some unnecessary trouble. Among the disciples of other sects, there would definitely be rumors saying that she was a failure as a person, that her sister didn't listen to her and wouldn't help her.
Those guys from Mount Shu will definitely start making trouble for me. But am I afraid of them? What's a little trouble for my sister? I can make them behave themselves with just one sword strike.
Li Yang was unaware of all this. After leaving the hotel with Fan Xian, he called Tao Ye in their car. He wanted to take her to see his world, to help her see things more clearly and understand things better. He considered the favor she owed him as repayment for his actions, and if she regretted it, she could leave him! He wouldn't stop her.
Chapter 875: I'm Going to Kill Someone
"Hello, this is Li Yang. Where are you?" Li Yang asked after dialing the number.
"I'm at home, nothing to do, just reading. What about you?" Taoye said excitedly, her tone filled with anticipation.
"I have some things to take care of. If you're free, you can come with me. Do you want to come?" Li Yang said.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, come pick me up." Taoye replied cheerfully immediately.
“Okay. Wait for me, I’ll drive over right away,” Li Yang said.
"Okay~" Tao Ye exclaimed excitedly. Li Yang hung up the phone and had Fan Xian drive to Tao Ye's neighborhood.
"Girlfriend?" Fan Xian asked with a suggestive smile.
"Why should I tell you?" Li Yang rolled his eyes.
"I knew it even if you didn't tell me. You have quite a few girlfriends, and you sleep with them wherever you go. I have to admire you for that. I can't do that~" Fan Xian said enviously.
"What nonsense! You rich dogs have probably toyed with countless innocent girls and gold diggers. And you're still pretending to be innocent in front of me!" Li Yang said disdainfully.
"Damn, I'm really not that corrupt, okay? I know a lot of people in our circle do that, and even my brother, the one you crippled, has quite a few lovers. But that's not what I'm after, nor is it my ideal. I won't waste my energy and time on them," Fan Xian said seriously.
"You seem unconcerned about me killing your brother," Li Yang said, keenly observing Fan Xian's thoughts. Of course, he knew what Fan Xian was thinking; he'd already seen through him. He utterly despised his seemingly upright but incompetent and corrupt brother, harboring a deep-seated resentment towards him. The legitimate sons received immense favor and attention, while he, an illegitimate child, was constantly looked down upon and despised, no matter how capable he was.
"Mind your own business. You're my enemy, let me tell you~" Fan Xian sneered.
"Haha... Keep pretending, or you'll get struck by lightning! As far as I know, you're an illegitimate child of the Fan family. Before your half-brother's incident, you were an unwanted illegitimate child, completely ignored. But after your brother's problems, the family lost a suitable successor, so you seized the opportunity to erupt from your hiding place, quickly gaining attention through your methods and scheming, and rising rapidly to your current position. And you secretly became Ye Gucheng's disciple, didn't you? You only revealed it after you rose to power, and only then did those idiots in your family stop making things difficult for you and support you. Am I right?" Li Yang said matter-of-factly.
Fan Xian's expression was extremely grim. These family secrets shouldn't be known to anyone other than a core member of the family. Yet Li Yang knew them, seemingly a top-ranking member of the Fan family. Could it be that someone in the Fan family had betrayed him? Otherwise, how did Li Yang know?
"Who told you that?" Fan Xian asked in a deep voice.
“I don’t need to tell you that,” Li Yang said smugly.
"What else do you know?" Fan Xian pressed.
"I know what you know~" Li Yang said, half-jokingly.
