"I'm not too sure about that, because the Dragon Group leader, Fei Ling, asked me about Li Yang's situation," Zhou Tong said.
"Oh, I see. He didn't inquire when we were all at the National Security Bureau, but he only started asking around after Li Yang came. It must be because of Li Yang. And this girl is a cultivator; she didn't join the Dragon Group but joined us instead. It must be for Li Yang. Am I right?" Shu Yi said smugly.
“That’s right. That’s what I guessed too. But I just tested Li Yang and found that he didn’t seem to know anything about it. Could there be some misunderstanding?” Zhou Tong was puzzled again.
“Yes, Li Yang’s behavior just now was indeed a bit strange. He seemed genuinely unaware of the situation,” Shu Yi agreed.
"Judging from his expression, he doesn't seem to be lying. If he really is lying, then I have to admire his acting skills; he's worthy of an Oscar. He's so convincing that we can't detect the slightest flaw. Such acting skills are indeed worthy of competing for Best Actor," Zhou Tong said with amusement.
“Yes. Should we remind Li Yang?” Shu Yi said.
"No need. I think he can handle it. Look at how well he handles so many women, I think he should be fine," Zhou Tong said, shaking his head slightly.
"Yes. Sometimes I have to admire him. So many women and he doesn't cause trouble or fight. It's quite an achievement to keep the harem so peaceful," Shu Yi said enviously.
"What's wrong? You want to try it too? Want to create such a big harem?" Zhou Tong teased.
"I wouldn't dare. Not to mention I can't afford to support them. I can't even handle the things between men and women. A dozen or so women, what man can handle that? Didn't all those emperors in ancient times die young, and the women in their harems fought tooth and nail every day just to sleep with him? I can't handle that~" Shu Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Hahaha... You really know your own limitations. To be honest, I wouldn't dare either. I really admire his abilities in this area~" Zhou Tong laughed heartily.
"Yes. If you knew he even dared to molest Director Wang, you'd admire him even more," Shu Yi muttered to himself, but didn't dare say it aloud. Otherwise, Wang Gui would definitely make him pay.
"Let's not talk about Li Yang anymore. The most urgent matter is Jiangbei City. These guys sneaked into the country; they must have some ulterior motives. We must be careful. And we have to fight back against the National Security Bureau. Although we are just ordinary people who only know martial arts and are far weaker than them, we must still show our integrity and not let them look down on us!" Zhou Tong said solemnly.
"Yes~ I definitely won't let them look down on me~" Shu Yi said with a serious expression.
"Has the crackdown in Jiangnan City ended?" Zhou Tong asked Shu Yi.
"It should be about time, right? Li Yang has ruined all the underworld figures in Jiangnan City, who else is easy to beat? It's definitely coming to an end!" Shu Yi said.
"Yes. That makes sense," Zhou Tong nodded.
...
Far to the southwest, within the Kunlun Mountains, the majestic Kunlun Mountains stand tall, shrouded in mist and clouds, their height unknown, and no one has ever reached them. Below, lush ancient trees abound, where countless rare birds and animals dwell, play, and even cultivate.
A streak of colorful light, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly descended from the sky, flashing across the misty peaks of Kunlun Mountain and arriving at its foot in an instant. Its speed was astonishing, like lightning. The light flashed through the clouds for only a moment before reaching the foot of the mountain.
A flash of sword light appeared on the road at the foot of the mountain, revealing a spirited young girl. Her eyes sparkled with a captivating light, and her entire being exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura, as if she were a fairy, truly a rare celestial maiden.
The girl pouted playfully, revealing two adorable dimples on her face, and her pearly white teeth were fine, bright, and sparkling. After landing, she suddenly pulled a cell phone from somewhere on her person, pressed a shortcut key, and held it to her ear.
"Brother, it's me. I've emerged from seclusion!" the girl said cheerfully.
"Feihua? It's you. You've already emerged from seclusion so quickly? You've already broken through to the late stage of Qi Induction?" Feiling, who was far away in the capital, said in surprise.
"Yes. Aren't I amazing? I broke through to the late stage of Qi Induction three years earlier than you!" The girl was none other than Fei Hua, an outstanding disciple of Kunlun Nu's generation. She was also Fei Ling's younger sister.
These immortal cultivators from sacred mountains like Kunlun, Maoshan, Shushan, and Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, as well as some even more mysterious and unparalleled cultivation sects, have extremely few successors. This is because people with suitable conditions for cultivation are also scarce, and with the Earth's spiritual energy becoming increasingly thin, such talents are even rarer. Finding even one successor is fiercely competitive.
The fact that Kunlun was able to absorb two outstanding disciples, Fei Ling and Fei Hua, at once demonstrates the strength and status of Kunlun as the number one cultivation sect.
"Yeah, she's way better than me. I'm so envious~" Fei Ling said, feigning bitterness.
"Hehe... Brother, don't be so sour. Although I've broken through to the late stage of Qi Induction, my strength is still not as good as yours. Don't be sad." Fei Hua hurriedly comforted her brother.
"Congratulations, little sister~" Fei Ling chuckled, clearly delighted.
"Thank you. But how did things go with my matter?" Fei Hua asked with a grin.
"Your business? What business?" Fei Ling asked, puzzled.
"What? You've forgotten about my business? You're so mean! I'll go to Beijing and tear down your office!" Fei Hua exclaimed anxiously, her face pale.
"Oh my goodness, you're really something else! I'm scared, okay? How could I not do what you asked me to do? Your application to join the National Security Bureau has been approved, but I'm under a lot of pressure. Don't mess around when you get there!" Fei Ling warned.
"Don't worry, am I the kind of person who would cause trouble? I won't bring shame to you~" Feihua was overjoyed. "Brother, you're so wonderful, the best brother in the world, kiss~"
"Don't try to sweet-talk me, I wouldn't dare. But remember, don't cause trouble," Fei Ling warned again.
"I know. I'm not a child anymore, so don't worry. I'm just going to see him and see why he's so amazing~" Fei Hua snorted.
"Hmm. But just test his limits and background, don't confront him head-on. Someone like him is not to be trifled with," Fei Ling said. His decision to have Fei Hua join the National Security Bureau wasn't without the intention of letting her investigate Li Yang's background.
"Hmph~ I don't know if he's easy to mess with or not. But I won't let him get away with it. How dare he offend Fei Hua, hmph~" Fei Hua said with a snort.
"I know the sect leader gave you the Hundred Treasures Pouch, the Qian Yuan Pill, and the Neon Immortal Sword. But you've only just emerged from seclusion, and you lack experience in combat. It's best to be careful," Fei Ling said, frowning. This younger sister is spoiled rotten; she's fearless and a real headache and cause for concern.
Chapter 884: You Dare Not Recognize Me
"Hmph, I'm now at the late stage of Qi Induction. Apart from you and that fool from Mount Shu who only knows how to cultivate, who among the younger generation can rival me?" Fei Hua said smugly.
"Then you should be careful too, better safe than sorry," Fei Ling said, still worried.
"Alright, you and my brother aren't my mom~" Fei Hua said unhappily.
"You think I'm nagging? Let me tell you, you'll thank me someday," Fei Ling said, both curious and amused. "And also, if Mom hears you, she'll definitely give you a good spanking!"
"Hmph, as long as you don't tell on her, how will she know?" Fei Hua said smugly.
"However, I still need to remind you of something else, which is very important," Fei Ling said solemnly.
"What's wrong?" Fei Hua asked, taking his serious tone seriously.
"Things haven't been peaceful in the country lately, and it seems something's about to happen in Jiangbei City. Our Dragon Group and the National Security Bureau are both involved, and we need to find out the truth. If you join the National Security Bureau, you'll inevitably have to participate in this investigation, so be careful. This time, they've brought top experts from Japan and the United States, including ninja shikigami, high-level vampires, and advanced werewolves. There are many of them I'm no match for, so you need to be even more careful," Fei Ling said seriously.
"Jiangbei City? Is there something strange about it?" Feihua pondered, wondering what was so special about Jiangbei City.
