This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

"The letter?"

Yu Longqing asked.

Intuition told him that the Zhang Family sending him a letter at this time must be related to the Green-faced Ghost right in front of him!

Indeed, after reading the letter handed over by his subordinate, the madness in Yu Longqing's eyes subsided a lot, and he reassessed Li Fei from a distance:

"So Shangguan Xiao is one of the Zhang Family's."

Although the letter did not explicitly say so, he had already figured out the key point.

Shangguan Xiao, going from a commoner to becoming the Chief of the Zhi Ge Court in a city, must have had assistance from someone, and surely someone with a high-ranking position within Datong Prefecture.

Yu Longqing had instructed his subordinates to investigate this matter, but had not yet found an answer. Now, the other party had delivered the answer to him—the Zhang Family was the one supporting Shangguan Xiao.

The Zhang Family had operated in Datong Prefecture's Zhi Ge General Hospital for many years and indeed had the capability to pave the way for Shangguan Xiao quietly.

"Is this your reliance?"

Yu Longqing stared at Li Fei.

Li Fei looked at him, "Well, would the Beast King consider making a deal?"

Shangguan Xiao took his mother's surname after quarreling with his family in his early years, so he was not surnamed Zhang.

In recent years, the Zhang Family of Datong Prefecture was somewhat lacking in succession, with no young generation having outstanding talent, and the older generation of experts had mostly fallen. Now only the Family Head, Zhang Zongyang, alone held the fort, without even a second Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse to show.

Under such circumstances, Shangguan Xiao, who had reached the Tao Foundation Stage, expressed willingness to return to the family, and naturally, the Zhang Family was overjoyed.

This was Li Fei's real backing for daring to come alone to Datong Prefecture City this time. The document he showed to the City Guard Army today was also a pass issued by the Zhang Family, bearing the seal of the Zhi Ge General Hospital.

Just like what he said to Zhang Shan that night:

When you're out in the world, you have to recognize the power you hold!

After demonstrating his strength by capturing Zhang Shan alive, and now with the Zhang Family stepping forward, this power was enough to deter Yu Longqing.

"I hate being threatened the most. Aren't you afraid that I won't give face to the Zhang Family and still insist on killing you?"

Yu Longqing suddenly asked sternly.

As his words ended, people standing along the shore drew their weapons.

Swish, swish, swish—

A series of sounds of blades being unsheathed resounded.

Not only that, the Exotic Beast that had stopped in the jungle suddenly let out a heaven-shaking howl, emitting a terrifying roar!

In a blink of an eye, a flood of murderous intent rushed toward Li Fei like a deluge!

Li Fei looked at him, calmly said,

"Everyone says the Beast King is mad, but if you were truly a madman, you couldn't have gotten this far."

Even if Yu Longqing really went mad today and insisted on taking action, there were still Zhang Family experts outside to rescue him, so he had a very good chance of leaving alive.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha—"

Yu Longqing suddenly burst into laughter, "Good, very good!"

"You must stay alive. I'm really looking forward to our second meeting!"

Half an hour later, Li Fei left Human Face Villa.

Just as he stepped out a short distance from the villa, a beautiful woman dressed in a cheongsam, with a graceful figure, approached him.

After reaching Li Fei, the woman curtsied and then handed over a gilt invitation:

"Young Master, Madam Feng invites you."

Li Fei took the invitation, glanced at it, and seeing that no time was specified, he said to the woman who delivered the invitation:

"Go back and tell Madam Feng that I will visit in due time."

Hearing this, the woman curtseyed again to Li Fei and then turned to leave.

Soon, the Green-faced Ghost safely left Human Face Villa, and the news of Queen Feng Sanniang personally inviting him spread through the whole Datong Prefecture City like the wind.

That night, the name of the Green-faced Ghost echoed throughout Datong Prefecture!

...

December 23rd.

It had been almost a month since Li Fei returned from Datong Prefecture.

During this month, he focused on cultivation every day, occasionally handling some affairs of the Qingyuan City Management Company.

That day, Li Fei came to the Martial Arts Hall as usual to train with Hao Yi.

Before long, the Hall Master of the Martial Arts Hall personally sought out the two of them.

"Mr. Hao, the investigation team sent from above wants to see student Li Fei."

The Martial Arts Hall Master said to Hao Yi with caution.

The investigation team from the provincial city had already returned, but the investigation team from Datong Prefecture remained in Xing City, waiting for the new Chief to take office before leaving.

Now, the Datong Prefecture's investigation team wanted to see Li Fei.

Hao Yi turned his head and glanced at Li Fei, "Then go ahead."

He could probably guess the other party's intentions for seeing Li Fei.

Li Fei could guess as well, as Shangguan Xiao had previously analyzed the matter for him.

"Alright."

Li Fei bowed to Hao Yi, dressed himself, and then followed the Martial Arts Hall Master out.

Shortly after, he was brought outside a guest room, where the Hall Master said very politely:

"Student Li Fei, please enter on your own."

"Thank you, Hall Master, for showing the way."

Li Fei thanked the Hall Master politely and then turned to enter the room.

Two men in black suits were waiting in the room, one of whom was Cheng Bi, who had recruited Li Fei as a secret inspector.

Although Gu Zhenhui had stepped down, he had made special arrangements before leaving, so Cheng Bi was not only unaffected but had also been promoted.

Now he is the Secret Keeper of the Xing City Inspection Bureau, a position second only to the bureau chief, and already an Imperial Official!

"Xiao Fei, let me introduce you."

Cheng Bi stood up enthusiastically, pointing to the man beside him and said to Li Fei:

"This is Inspector Xia Huan from the Inspection General Office of Datong Prefecture, Inspector Xia."

The Inspection General Office of Datong Prefecture was one rank higher than the local Inspection Bureaus, so although both were Inspectors, Xia Huan was of the same grade as Cheng Bi, who was a Secret Keeper—both were Imperial Officials.
