One word could describe his sword lotus: weak!
Xiao Yefeng understood that his abilities placed him in a mediocre position among the talented individuals in this circle. He was powerful enough to surpass some, yet he was undeniably weak.
However, when faced with enemies who were strong, like that person from Spirit Guide Children, if it weren't for the long-distance manipulation that weakened the Azure Daoist's strength, would he have been able to fight for so long?
With these doubts lingering, Xiao Yefeng vaguely rested through the night. The next day, Jiang Xing personally helped the two children find peace. Perhaps there were gains and losses; two children who had never known each other became good friends after waking up. Moreover, after last night's battle, both children's Primordial Energy had completely vanished. In other words, they had become ordinary people. But were they truly ordinary?
Whether it was Huang Ziqiang or Nie Xing, both were outstanding among their peers. After this incident, their growth in the future would undoubtedly be extraordinary. Although the Guide Spirit Child had nearly led them to disaster, the powers absorbed had enhanced their intelligence. Their achievements in the future would certainly be remarkable, and most importantly, these two children were destined to come together.
Xiao Yefeng didn't need to consult astrology to know that these two were fated to be a couple. Having gone through such a calamity, their fates had already intertwined. Everyone was intrigued by this matter, but what would happen with the Huang family and Nie Family was beyond their control.
This time, Xiao Yefeng had truly resolved all of Yuan Brothers' schemes. From the initial Demon King's Eye to the final Guide Spirit Child, it seemed as though Xiao Yefeng held a grudge against Yuan Brothers, constantly opposing them. However, this also allowed him to gather some valuable information.
He learned about the relationship between the new forces and Perfect World, the origins of Gene Warriors, his teammates' situations, and Liu Yiyi's condition. Since his release from prison, Xiao Yefeng had been busy with these matters until today when he finally completed everything. Furthermore, this mission involving the Guide Spirit Child counted as a new monthly task, granting him a month of rest.
Additionally, for this mission, Xiao Yefeng received a reward of twenty spirit stones. After exchanging greetings with Mo Fei, he took his equipment and spirit stones and returned to Golden House Courtyard. After all, he had spent twenty years' worth of savings to rent this place.
Everything was as it had been before; Xiao Yefeng continued his life as a homebody. However, his Solar Group had already been handed over to Liu Yiyi. In truth, there was nothing unusual about giving it away since it originally belonged to her. This time, Xiao Yefeng chose to integrate Solar Group into Wankang Pharmaceuticals so that it would fully belong to Liu Yiyi without him needing to sign any documents again.
Liu Yiyi learned about the cause of her health issues and returned to her usual cheerful self. However, her connection with Lu Zhan grew increasingly close—not because of anything else but because Lu Zhan had finished his business abroad and returned home. Although Xiao Yefeng thought about intervening, seeing Liu Yiyi's bright smile made him abandon that idea; perhaps this was the path she chose.
Being with someone she liked and spending her remaining time together was what mattered most. Although Xiao Yefeng had tried several times to help her change her fate, Liu Yiyi consistently refused his offers. She had already promised Lu Zhan that he would help her alter her destiny. While they were all entangled in fate together, Xiao Yefeng felt no aversion towards Jiang Xing and the others; however, every time he encountered Lu Zhan, he felt as if this person wore a mask.
But it didn’t matter that Liu Yiyi liked Xiao Yefeng; Lu Zhan had also come to this city but chose to stay at Jade Sea Villa across from Golden House Courtyard. Since the incident with Guide Spirit Child passed, Xiao Yefeng had settled comfortably in Golden House Courtyard for about six months now. During this time, he completed several essential tasks—eliminating a few wandering spirits and dispatching some naturally occurring Zombies—living a peaceful life overall.
All the spirit stones were absorbed by Xiao Yefeng. However, the bottleneck at the Peak of Bright Strength still locked him in. Yet, after six months of absorbing spirit stones, Xiao Yefeng had strengthened his body. In terms of physical quality, he was several times stronger than during the incident with the Guide Spirit Child. After half a year of experimentation, Xiao Yefeng was now able to control the activation of his genes flexibly, no longer experiencing the issue of automatic activation due to emotional agitation.
During these six months, Xiao Yefeng also became familiar with Nangong Zhe. It seemed that the incident involving Ge Qing Gou had brought Mei Mo'er and him closer together. Although they had not publicly declared their relationship as a couple, it was evident that their feelings for each other were gradually rising. Strangely, regarding Mei Chuanqiong, as the owner of Dracula's Blood and Dracula's Tooth, the vampires seemed to have given up on her.
According to intelligence reports, Thompson had escaped back to Europe, and Abel, who had been defeated by Xiao Yefeng, had returned to the Ferrad Family. Given Abel's personality, he would surely seek revenge after suffering defeat! The quietness of the Ferrad Family puzzled Xiao Yefeng. Moreover, Zhu Ganglie's father, the elderly Zhu Feng, had mysteriously disappeared under surveillance.
Although the Metaphysics Society posed a concern for him, Xiao Yefeng did not take it seriously. He joked that if they dared to return, he would send them to meet their son!
In these six months, both domestically and internationally, things had been quiet. The new forces that had suffered significant losses chose to remain silent. However, anyone with a keen sense of crisis could feel that this was merely the calm before the storm. Yet everyone was enjoying this momentary peace!
But where there are people, there is competition. As always, a new dispute began from an inconspicuous conflict.
The decline of the Zhu Family and Xiao Yefeng's silence created a vacancy for large enterprises in the south. This vacancy sparked some overt and covert struggles. At this moment, in a luxurious house, several successful individuals dressed in suits and holding high-stemmed wine glasses were discussing business matters.
"Regardless of anything else, our Xiao Family will take this project!" A man in a black suit with slightly graying hair stood up decisively.
As this man stood up, another person also rose. This individual wore a deep blue suit and appeared slightly younger than the previous man; however, silver strands were visible among his dark hair, indicating he too was not young. This man retorted without hesitation: "Hmph! It's easy to say such things. When has your Xiao Family ever been able to take charge over our Shen Family? For this underground project at Flower Mountain Park, we Shen Family are clearly the most suitable candidates."
The two men faced off against each other, neither willing to back down. Meanwhile, several others at the table were deep in thought but dared not speak under the pressure of these two fierce competitors. Indeed, these individuals were major contenders for filling the vacancy left by the four great powers in the south. They represented an emerging force focused on underground exploration—not coal mining but rather rare mineral exploration and artifact collection!
In essence, they operated under the guise of exploration while engaging in tomb raiding and illicit extraction of rare minerals. It was quite coincidental that beneath Flower Mountain Park lay a cave with powerful energy reactions; it was rumored to be a burial site for a former emperor or regional lord.
This change in circumstances stemmed from an extraordinary heavy rain a month ago in the south. The unusual downpour caused water accumulation at Flower Mountain Park and unexpectedly revealed a tunnel. Upon entering this tunnel, they discovered it led to an ancient tomb; it turned out that someone had chosen this location for their mausoleum long ago. At that time, Xiao Yefeng had entered the tomb as a special envoy for the Metaphysics Society.
However, according to the survey conducted at that time, it was confirmed that the Tomb was an unfinished and abandoned burial site that had been secretly used by someone. Although it appeared to be an imperial mausoleum, it was actually the tomb of a local tyrant. Due to severe internal damage, it had already been abandoned by the state. Surprisingly, traces of gemstone deposits were discovered in the area, which led to a fierce competition between the Xiao and Shen families.
The reason for this competition was clear: the gemstone traces indicated the presence of diamond deposits. Diamonds are recognized as hard currency internationally, yet the government showed little interest in this mine. Thus, a decree was issued to allocate the mine to local enterprises in batches. Both the Xiao Family and the Shen Family were involved in this business, igniting their conflict.
This time, both families received mediation from the government; however, they did not expect that the situation remained unchanged. The Xiao and Shen families continued to face off against each other, neither willing to back down. As a result, the meeting ended in an awkward atmosphere.
As they exited the building, a member of the Shen Family looked at Xiao Lin from the Xiao Family and said, "Xiao Lin! This project is a must for my Shen Family. If you don't withdraw within three days, don't blame me if Shen Ting takes action!" The representative of the Shen Family spoke with a cold expression.
In contrast to the grim demeanor of the Shen Family representative, Xiao Lin from the Xiao Family appeared relaxed. He replied, "Shen Ting, I echo your sentiment. However, I won't resort to any underhanded tactics. Let's see who has the strength at the bidding conference in three days!"
With that, Xiao Lin led his people away, leaving Shen Ting staring coldly at their retreating figures. At that moment, Shen Ting clenched his fists tightly, making a cracking sound as he glared at the Xiao Family members and said, "Get Master Yang to take action. I hope that by three days from now, no one from the Xiao Family shows up at the bidding conference!"
A man behind Shen Ting immediately nodded and began making phone calls. Soon after, light rain began to fall again over the rainy southern skies as Shen Ting connected with a man on the line.
"Boss Shen! What can I do for you?" came a lazy voice from the other end of the call—a voice that claimed to be old but sounded quite young.
"Hahaha! Of course, there's a lucrative deal I need your help with. I'm hosting a gathering for wealthy families; please do me a favor!" Shen Ting concealed his anger and greeted him with a smile.
"Sure thing! I'll tidy up and be there right away!" The other side hung up quickly. Shen Ting smirked and said to himself, "With Master Yang on board, Xiao Lin, oh Xiao Lin, I'll be there to toast your farewell in three days!"
