Time passed quickly, and at this moment, Xiao Yefeng had returned to Beijing North. After discussing everything with Jiang Xing, he lay alone on the hotel bed, feeling utterly exhausted. The Spirit Group had suffered damage, and although Jiang Xing wanted to use his lightning-based True Spiritual Power to help Xiao Yefeng expel it, Xiao Yefeng had refused. Along the way, he realized that there were benefits to this experience.
After battling Yuan Dui, the Jumping Zombie, and even the final sniper, Xiao Yefeng discovered that his muscles and bones, stimulated by the electric current, had undergone a similar enhancement. Especially his meridians; the three Yang meridians in his hands and feet were now twice as wide as before. During the fight with the Jumping Zombie, he recalled that thanks to the assistance of the electric current, several of the Jumping Zombie's attacks had been paralyzed.
Thus, Xiao Yefeng chose to retain this electric current. He also noticed that the Spirit Group wrapped in lightning was more refined. After absorbing the spiritual stones obtained from this mission, he found that the Spirit Group had returned to its Peak of Bright Strength state without being saturated; in fact, there was still one-third of its capacity available. This meant that Xiao Yefeng could store one-third more spiritual power than a normal person at Peak of Bright Strength.
A week had already passed since his trip back and upon returning to Beijing North again, Liu Yiyi, the sole heir of the Liu Family, had yet to return to the south. Xiao Yefeng intended to greet Liu Yiyi in her room but received a report from a staff member that a gentleman had already come to pick her up that night.
As for who had taken Liu Yiyi away, Xiao Yefeng could almost guess—it must be that "he" Liu Yiyi mentioned. Xiao Yefeng was genuinely curious but felt powerless to intervene. His fate with Liu Yiyi seemed like two parallel lines; apart from their intersection point Liu Xuanhuang, there would be no further connection. Moreover, since Liu Yiyi belonged to the Yin Jue Vein and no one could help her reverse her fate, she would meet her end on her twenty-fourth birthday.
After a night of turmoil, Xiao Yefeng finally accepted himself. Liu Yiyi was his sister; it was fortunate that she had someone she liked. And having an ordinary person take care of Liu Yiyi wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Lost in thought, Xiao Yefeng left his room and went to the spacious second-floor restaurant of the hotel for coffee. He actually disliked coffee; however, this strange hotel didn’t have anything he liked to drink. So in order to stay in this transparent restaurant, he could only order a cup of coffee along with a plate of sweets.
Xiao Yefeng chose a spot where he could see the hotel’s main entrance directly. With coffee in front of him and sweets on the table, he found himself unable to enjoy them because he was waiting for Liu Yiyi's return. However, not eating didn’t mean wasting food; at that moment, Zitong sat cross-legged at his table, holding a piece of dessert in her left hand and coffee in her right hand while making a mess.
“Big brother! Are you waiting for someone?” Zitong asked while patting her nonexistent belly and sucking on an oversized lollipop.
“Yes!” Xiao Yefeng replied.
“Uncle and Auntie are awake! But Uncle seems to have some issues!” Zitong licked her lollipop.
“Is that so?” Hearing Zitong's words made Xiao Yefeng sit up straight in surprise. He casually reached into his backpack and as soon as he touched the Black Gold Spirit Banner, he felt two weak spirits within the Soul Banner.
Delving into the Black Gold Spirit Banner with his consciousness, Xiao Yefeng saw almost transparent Zhang Chuanhai and Jin Ling and asked in confusion, “Brother Zhang, what happened to you?”
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yefeng was astonished to find that all of Zhang Chuanhai's remaining lifespan had been erased. Furthermore, all of his Earthbound Spirit strength had vanished as if washed clean like clothes; he had dropped back down to the level of a wandering ghost. This puzzled Xiao Yefeng greatly.
“For her sake, I have no regrets!” Zhang Chuanhai looked at Jin Ling beside him.
At that moment, Jin Ling cast a gentle glance at Zhang Chuanhai before turning towards Xiao Yefeng and suddenly kneeling before him. The Black Gold Spirit Banner resembled a ghostly realm where spirits had physical forms; thus, the sound of her kneeling echoed like that of an ordinary person.
“What are you doing?” Xiao Yefeng asked.
“Master Xiao! I know you look down on women like me, but I have my own hardships,” Jin Ling then began recounting her life story.
With a long sigh, Xiao Yefeng helped Jin Ling to her feet and said, "The past is behind us. It is now the hour of the pig, and in two hours, at the hour of the rat, I will open the Zhao Yin Gate to send you to Yin Si for your report. If there is anything unclear, please ask now!"
After finishing his words, Xiao Yefeng took Zitong and exited the Black Gold Spirit Banner. Jin Ling was a tragic woman, yet her account provided Xiao Yefeng with a crucial clue: the Yuan Brothers were involved in even more harmful matters.
"Hello! Is this the President?" Xiao Yefeng recounted Jin Ling's story to Jiang Xing.
"Yes, I understand. I will arrange for someone to bring those two children over!" Jiang Xing replied before hanging up.
Immediately after ending the call, Jiang Xing dialed another number. "Zhao! Get to Hangzhou as fast as you can. Pick up Huang Wensheng from the hospital, along with Li Min's son Huang Ziqiang and a child named Nie Xing who is also in the same hospital. Transfer both families here immediately."
After hanging up, Jiang Xing frowned. If this was true, it would be a significant oversight. How could our intelligence network miss such an important matter? There must be something fishy going on!
Jiang Xing's orders were essentially commands from the highest authority in Huaxia. In Hangzhou, arrangements were made to secretly transfer the two children. Since Jiang Xing personally dispatched his trusted aides for this mission without alarming anyone, the children were swiftly sent to Beijing North overnight. Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng received an unexpected phone call.
While waiting for Liu Yiyi, Xiao Yefeng chatted with Zitong. The restaurant staff was startled; Xiao Yefeng had not touched his coffee or any of the snacks on the table, yet he had already requested three replacements of exactly the same items. The coffee had gone cold and was replaced; the snacks were swapped out again after a while.
Such wealth should not be wasted! After the third replacement of coffee and snacks, one of the waiters secretly sampled a piece of pastry and nearly gagged. How could today’s snacks taste so terrible? They were like chewing wax! Thankfully, no customers had eaten them; otherwise, complaints would have been mild! He hurriedly replaced them with fresh ones.
Little did he know that any food consumed by Zitong would lose its flavor. Just after the fourth round of snacks was replaced, Xiao Yefeng's phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he realized it was Aunt Qing.
"Aunt Qing!" Xiao Yefeng answered.
"Feng! You’ve returned to Beijing North, right?" Liu Qing asked directly without any pleasantries.
"That's right; I just got back today!"
"Is Yiyi with you?" Liu Qing inquired.
"No, I'm waiting for her!"
"Yiyi went on a date! What are you doing?" Liu Qing's tone clearly carried a hint of tears.
Hearing Liu Qing's emotional voice made Xiao Yefeng feel helpless. "Aunt Qing, what can I do? Yiyi is grown up; it's normal for her to have someone she likes!"
"But I believe with your abilities, you must know she can't fall in love! Love will only shorten her lifespan!" Liu Qing's voice was now filled with sobs.
"Aunt Qing, do you know who that man is?" Xiao Yefeng asked.
"I don't know either. That girl got rid of all the bodyguards I sent tonight."
Just then, Xiao Yefeng saw a silver sedan pull up at the hotel entrance. The passenger door opened, and Liu Yiyi, dressed in casual attire, stepped out of the car, while a man emerged from the driver's seat.
"Aunt Qing, they have returned to the hotel! Yiyi is safe." Xiao Yefeng used his Yin-Yang Eye to check Liu Yiyi's condition; the dark energy surrounding her had not yet broken through its seal, meaning she had not suffered from the backlash of the Yin Jue Vein.
From his vantage point in the second-floor restaurant, Xiao Yefeng could clearly see the scene outside the hotel. Through his Yin-Yang Eye, he also discerned that this man was not an ordinary person; his yang energy was nearly on par with Xiao Yefeng's own. Xiao Yefeng recognized this man's identity; he had seen this man's photo more than once.
Lu Zhan! The one known as the Young Master Geomancer, or more accurately, a fortune teller! It was only after joining the Metaphysics Society that Xiao Yefeng learned Lu Zhan was not just a geomancer but specialized in Feng Shui. In the Metaphysics Society, Lu Zhan was referred to as Ironclad Divination; everything he predicted would come true.
As Xiao Yefeng observed Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan, being a person of extraordinary abilities, sensed Xiao Yefeng's considerable strength as well. Through the transparent window, Xiao Yefeng looked down at Lu Zhan, who also glanced up at him. Despite the distance of over twenty meters between them, their gazes locked in a standoff of equal intensity.
Lu Zhan's actions caught Liu Yiyi's attention, and she turned to see where he was looking. Upon spotting Xiao Yefeng, Liu Yiyi trembled like a child caught doing something wrong. She tugged at Lu Zhan's sleeve and said, "Let's go. He is the one I told you about—the geomancer who is as strong as you!"
"Sister Yiyi! I've told you many times; I'm a fortune teller. The title 'Geomancer' belongs to those who are skilled in various paths. I only specialize in Feng Shui, so I can't be called a Geomancer!" Lu Zhan replied with a smile.
"Alright! Let's go meet Brother Xiao. Trust me; he's even stronger than you!" Liu Yiyi's radiant smile brought comfort to Xiao Yefeng but also filled him with concern; the Yin Jue Vein was too dangerous!
