Chapter 955: Chapter 57: Heart and Spirit Permanently Stabilized, Black Water Devours Calamity

Li Fei understood.

Shi Caiming couldn’t forcibly take action, nor could he keep the Martial Arts Domain open to protect He Jian indefinitely.

Then he could only find a ‘match-making’ Martial Arts Master to take action.

“But you don’t need to worry too much. The opponent intentionally restrained, and this Divine Skill hasn’t caused any fundamental harm to this person’s heart and spirit.”

Shi Caiming said.

Li Fei nodded, clearly understanding that the mastermind behind the scenes was also wary of He Jian’s identity and didn’t dare to strike heavily.

Otherwise, why would a Martial Arts Master need to go through so much trouble to kill He Jian?

“You don’t need to worry. I will find someone to save Old Master He.”

Li Fei said to Yuan Mengfei and others.

With his current status and position, he’s not worried about finding a Martial Arts Master with the relevant Divine Skills to take action.

The other party might even be happy for Li Fei to owe him a favor.

The real question he needs to consider is how to deal with this Martial Arts Master hiding in the dark.

If there’s a first time, there can be a second time.

Based on Shi Caiming’s judgment, the opponent’s Divine Skill is extremely covert, so even arranging for a Martial Arts Master to protect He Jian closely 24/7 might not prevent it.

That being the case, even if He Jian is saved this time, if he continues to go to the Provincial City, he might fall victim again soon.

Isn’t that just pure torment for the elderly?

So, before dealing with the mastermind, Li Fei doesn’t plan to continue sending He Jian to investigate the case.

“Lu Wenzheng!”

Li Fei’s gaze was icy.

No need to guess, he already knew it was definitely this person causing trouble behind the scenes, aiming to obstruct He Jian from leading the investigation.

He just felt that such tactics were somewhat low-level.

Ever since the Crown Prince governed, and he was selected as the Guardian Minister that night, the Great Trend began to tilt in his favor.

The big ship under Lu Wenzheng’s feet will sink sooner or later!

Even if Li Fei himself doesn’t take action, Lu Wenya and others will act against Lu Wenzheng!

Sometimes, overt sabers from outside are easy to evade, but hidden arrows from within are hard to guard against.

So Li Fei doesn’t think Lu Wenzheng hiring someone to harm He Jian has much significance.

It’s just a matter of delaying a bit more time.

What’s the use of that?

…

Feng Province, Provincial City.

Under the cover of night, Jiang Ye walked into the ‘Red Sleeves Dance Hall’ for the second time.

Although the dance hall owner, Zhao Qidong, was already dead, the dance hall still opened every night and seemed unaffected.

Jiang Ye was quickly led into the same hall where he had negotiated with Miao Lang before.

In the hall, only Miao Lang sat on the sofa.

Jiang Ye walked straight over and sat opposite him:

“The matter is half done. Where is what I want?”

He had already received a ‘Feeding Demon Beast’ as a down payment in advance, and tonight he came to collect the remaining reward.

He wasn’t worried about being cheated because the Divine Power he left in He Jian’s body was minimal and would dissipate in a week at most.

If the other party wanted He Jian bedridden for months, they would have to ask him to continue taking action.

Moreover, he also knew that today Li Fei took He Jian away, obviously for treatment.

This meant that the Lu Family might still need to cooperate with him in the future.

Jiang Ye had already thought it through, whether he would need to use [Evil God] on someone else or if there was any plan against that Marquis Jing’an, he could discuss it.

The premise was that the price had to be right, and he needed to receive half of the ‘down payment’ first.

“Don’t rush; we are waiting for someone.”

Miao Lang said to Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye frowned, immediately feeling displeased.

His eyes showed a fierce light: “What, planning to play games with me? He Jian can recover in just a week at most!”

Miao Lang smiled and said easily, “Brother Jiang, no need to be tense. We’re just waiting for someone; once they arrive, what you want will be here.”

Jiang Ye stared at him for a few seconds, then stopped speaking.

So the two quietly waited in the hall.

Pondering the person Miao Lang was waiting for, Jiang Ye speculated it must be an important figure from the Lu Family.

In this case, it seemed the Lu Family did intend to continue working with him.

“Then I should think carefully about how to raise the price later.”

Jiang Ye thought to himself.

About ten minutes later, as Jiang Ye grew impatient with waiting, the large door behind him was opened once more.

Miao Lang immediately stood up, respectfully clasping his fists in salute:

“Greetings to Master Xu!”

Jiang Ye was taken aback.

Master Xu? Great Grandmaster Xu Jing?!

He was shocked, quickly turning around to look at the newcomer.

A young man with long hair cascading over his shoulders stood at the door with icy eyes.

It was Xu Jing!

“Greet… Greetings to Master Xu.”

Jiang Ye felt cold sweat surfacing on his back, nervously clasping his fists in greeting.

He thought it would be some important figure from the Lu Family coming tonight. Even if it were the Lu Family Head, Inspector Lu Wenzheng himself, he wouldn’t feel as tense as now.

Never did he expect it to be a Great Grandmaster!

Xu Jing ignored Jiang Ye and just nodded at Miao Lang.

Miao Lang instantly understood, decisively stepping out of the hall, and closed the door.

Now only Xu Jing and Jiang Ye were left in the hall.

Jiang Ye sensed the atmosphere was off, forcing out a smile:

“I never expected it would be you to negotiate with me; it’s truly an honor for someone like me.”

Xu Jing looked at Jiang Ye without any emotion, as if Jiang Ye were merely a dish on the table:

“Your [Evil God] is indeed useful to me.”

Jiang Ye didn’t understand the statement, thinking Xu Jing referred to future cooperation, he quickly said:

“I’m grateful for Master Xu’s appreciation. In the future, if there’s anything you need me for, just say the word!”

“No need.”

But Xu Jing simply shook his head indifferently.

“Ah?”

“No need for you to act anymore; I will take it myself.”

As soon as the words fell, deep mist instantly enveloped the entire hall!

Instinctively, Jiang Ye wanted to resist, but his [Evil God] was directly suppressed, unable to be used.
