Capítulo 1115: Chapter 17: In My Youth, Spring Clothes Were Thin (Part 3)

“No, I’m not…”

“Are you really Li Fei?!”

“Uh… it’s me.”

“The one with the fastest breakthrough speed in recorded history, who won the national martial arts tournament, became the Marquis Jing’an, killed a martial arts master at Tao Foundation Stage, dared to challenge a peak strong person, led troops deep into the Northern Barbarians and established great military exploits… Li Fei?!”

The young girl rattled off all of Li Fei’s achievements in one breath, like listing cherished possessions.

Li Fei felt slightly uneasy, “…it’s me.”

“Ah——”

Once more, the courtyard echoed with the excited screams of the girl.

In this era, the concept of ‘idol’ didn’t really exist, but the name Li Fei had already become a legend in many people’s hearts, an idol among thousands of martial artists.

Now that Nie Susu had formally become a martial artist, she understood that the fairy-like elder sister with Sky-controlling Flight capability was either a martial arts master with divine skills or a great grandmaster!

And Li Fei had come along with such a remarkable presence, so Nie Susu had nearly convinced herself that the person before her was indeed the one she idolized.

“You… no, Marquis… does the Marquis have some orders for me?”

Nie Susu suddenly became timid and nervous.

Ning Qingman found this scene both amusing and infuriating.

Back when the young girl, under her guidance, broke through bottlenecks and rapidly advanced in swordsmanship, she had never been so excited.

“What’s your name, are you local? Could you briefly describe your situation?”

Li Fei asked gently.

“I’m Nie Susu!”

Nie Susu’s face flushed red, and she spoke excitedly.

The Marquis Jing’an actively asked my name!

Then she began to relay her situation to Li Fei.

A member of the Nie Family, a student of East Peace University…

After listening, Li Fei pointed to Ning Qingman beside him:

“The swordsmanship you were practicing just now is her family heirloom swordsmanship, so we want to know how you obtained this swordsmanship; it’s very important to us.”

Nie Susu looked at the fairy elder sister again and was dumbfounded.

Spying on others practicing martial arts was a major taboo in the world.

And stealing another’s martial arts was even more prohibited!

“Is it the elder’s family heirloom swordsmanship? Could it be….”

Nie Susu’s eyes shifted.

Is my master related to this fairy elder sister?

She looked at Li Fei with a troubled expression.

On one hand, she really wanted to cooperate with Li Fei.

But on the other hand, she had promised her master never to reveal any information about him!

“Marquis, I’m sorry….”

After struggling for a moment, Nie Susu lowered her head, “I cannot answer.”

Li Fei wanted to ask more but was stopped by Ning Qingman:

“Enough.”

The silently defiant expression of the girl was almost identical to hers back in the day.

The same stubbornness.

So Ning Qingman knew that continuing to press her was futile.

“Have there been many people suddenly going mad in this town recently?”

Ning Qingman asked softly.

This was an abnormal intelligence gathered from ‘Under Heaven’; she had chosen this piece among piles of information and decided to visit here first with Li Fei.

Actually, a big part of the reason was that she remembered passing by this small town, similar to her hometown, back then, and meeting that little girl.

Just didn’t expect the first stop to be ‘winning the prize’.

Upon hearing Ning Qingman’s question, recalling the scene she witnessed on the street today, and the dialogues of passersby, Nie Susu nodded:

“Such things do happen.”

“Then please help us find these mad people.”

Ning Qingman said to Nie Susu.

Nie Susu glanced at Li Fei and agreed readily.

So the three of them headed out of this large courtyard together.

On the street, the young girl who had just finished practicing sword, wearing only a thin garment, walked at the forefront, occasionally turning her head to look at Li Fei, with a sly smile upon her face.

Ning Qingman, watching the girl holding a longsword, with her ponytail bobbing as she constantly glanced back, also revealed a hint of a smile.

…

Inside a house, Li Ming, transformed into a woman, sat cross-legged, exercising to recover.

With the divine skills of [Demon Fetus Soul Seed] and the power of Taoism, he successfully revived, but his connection with Taoism weakened, his cultivation realm diminished, and his combat power couldn’t return to peak strength temporarily.

After resurrection, he would have at least a three-year ‘weakness period’.

Three years later, his ability to utilize Taoism could return to its former level.

This was a ‘honeymoon period’ between Taoism and his new body; he couldn’t skip over it.

So Li Ming was grasping at every moment for recovery.

“Here they come!”

Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed in the room.

Li Ming’s eyes snapped open.

“They’ve really come! But she’s accompanied by a Li Fei.”

The hoarse voice continued.

In Li Ming’s mind flashed Li Fei’s move that seemed like the sky dome collapsing [Don’t know the height of the sky], his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

“This kid’s identity is a bit troublesome.”

The ally hidden in the dark continued.

Li Ming sneered: “In the current Da Lan Dynasty, Yun Shu is dead, Wenren Zheng dares not act rashly, the national fortune is severely depleted, what do you have to fear?”

“Ultimately it’s an unwanted variable.”

“Come this far, you want to back off?”

“Hehe, I’ve already put my chips on the table, naturally I won’t retreat. Just a reminder, with Li Fei being an added variable, your plan might not work now. If it fails, I’ll immediately withdraw.”

Li Ming curled his mouth: “You just wait.”

…

Tan City, Inspection Bureau.

Nie Susu brought Li Fei and Ning Qingman here, intending to meet the widow Wang who was just arrested this morning.

The Nie Family is the top aristocratic family in Tan City, naturally having numerous connections within the government.

Nie Susu’s uncle serves as the captain of the first brigade in the Inspection Bureau, so for her to bring people to meet a recently captured criminal wasn’t a difficult task.

As soon as she entered the Inspection Bureau, she came to a realization.
