Chapter 334 -67 Consolidation and Expansion (Part 2)
“I’ve killed quite a few officials, and yet the Inspection General Office dares to offer me the position of Honorary Tributor?”
Li Fei looked at Xia Huan with a mocking smile.
There was clearly no killing intent, but Xia Huan shivered instantly, his smile freezing on his face!
Yan Shijin from the investigation team publicly helped Li Fei remove the wanted notice, using the reasoning that they couldn’t confirm if the Green-faced Ghost King from Datong Prefecture was the same Green-faced Ghost who killed officials in Xing City.
Now, Li Fei was admitting it right in front of Xia Huan!
This was no longer just a public slap in the face, it was tearing the face off publicly!
Just when the atmosphere tensed, Li Fei suddenly laughed:
“Haha, just kidding.”
“Haha, hahaha.”
Xia Huan laughed along.
For a moment, he thought he might be in danger tonight…
“Lord Xia, you see, inviting me to be an Honorary Tributor could be quite risky.”
Li Fei looked at Xia Huan meaningfully.
Xia Huan gave a dry laugh, struggling to maintain his smile, and said,
“Why don’t you first listen to the offer we have for you?”
Li Fei remained noncommittal, signaling Xia Huan to continue.
“As long as the Ghost King agrees to become our Inspection General Office’s Honorary Tributor, you won’t need to do anything, and every year we can provide you with thirty First Grade Implants and ten Second Grade Implants!”
Xia Huan opened with a very tempting offer.
Why do major forces purchase Exotic Beast Food and breed Exotic Beasts?
Mainly to acquire Implants for training Martial Artists.
Now, the Inspection General Office could directly provide Li Fei with Implants, thirty a year, meaning thirty Martial Artists could be trained annually!
This quantity was already quite significant; Li Fei’s own Exotic Beast Breeding Farm could only produce about the same amount of usable Implants each year.
Just a nod from Li Fei, and within a few years, the number of his Martial Artists could double!
And Xia Huan’s offer wasn’t finished yet:
“In addition to the Implants, the Ghost King can share intelligence with our Inspection General Office, we can grant you authority equivalent to that of a Secret Keeper!”
Xia Huan, an Inspector at the Inspection General Office and a level 10 official, was just at the threshold of becoming an assigned official.
The Secret Keeper in the Inspection General Office is responsible for intelligence work in a designated area, a level 12 official, on par with a Chief, and at the pinnacle of assigned officials.
By giving Li Fei authority equivalent to that of the Secret Keeper, he could access most of the Office’s intelligence!
This is not just real-time intelligence but also includes a significant amount of official information, as the primary duty of the Inspection General Office is to inspect the officials.
This meant that Li Fei could use this to strike at officials from Poison King and Gun King factions, and also manage Xing City, his base, more effectively!
“Lastly.”
Xia Huan still had more conditions:
“If the Ghost King is passionate about Martial Arts, our Inspection General Office can also help you acquire high-level teachings from Wuda!”
Actually, this last point would be very enticing even for ordinary people from the Jianghu, even for Martial Arts Masters like Sword King Gu Xianfeng.
But unfortunately for Li Fei, this last part wasn’t very attractive.
As his true self at Wuda, he was already considered an exceptional talent, and frankly, it might be easier for him to obtain high-level teachings from Wuda than through the Inspection General Office.
He had already acquired “Vajra Seal” and “Red Sound Fire Vajra Skill.”
“Are you finished?”
Li Fei asked calmly.
Xia Huan nodded, “If the Ghost King has any other requests, you can propose them, our Inspection General Office is very sincere.”
“I believe you are very sincere.”
Li Fei nodded, looking into Xia Huan’s eyes, and said word by word,
“But, I refuse.”
The position the Inspection General Office spoke of, Honorary Tributor, translated to four words—court lapdog.
Li Fei knew that at first, the Inspection General Office would definitely treat him with great courtesy and wouldn’t need him to do anything.
But later, various matters would gradually come to him.
Li Fei’s past experiences had made him all too aware of the involuntariness within the system!
Those people would use all sorts of methods to force you to compromise, binding you with invisible ropes, gradually stifling your freedom.
Until one day, when you had enough ‘ropes’ around you, you’d be successfully ‘tamed,’ becoming a qualified court lapdog.
Thus, from day one in this world, Li Fei never once considered rejoining the system.
What he sought was a joyful life, mastering his own destiny; even becoming the Emperor wouldn’t achieve that in the system!
“Ghost King…”
Xia Huan tried to persuade him further but was cut off by Li Fei:
“This matter need not be discussed further!”
Xia Huan, left with no choice, said,
“If that’s the case, then I’ll just…”
He was about to take his leave but was stopped by Li Fei:
“Lord Xia, no need to hurry, though I cannot accept the role of Honorary Tributor, we might still find other ways to collaborate.”
“Please speak, Ghost King.”

Xia Huan sat back down.
“Since Zhang Zongyang’s death, the Inspection General Office has been investigating for over a month now, any progress?”
Li Fei asked.
If Feng Sanniang had already grasped the real culprit, it didn’t make sense for the Inspection General Office not to have any clues at all.
That would be too incompetent!
Xia Huan grinned, “So that’s what the Ghost King wishes to discuss.”
He nodded, “Of course, we have already grasped certain clues.”
“I want the clues the Inspection General Office has already gathered. In exchange, the Exotic Beast Food I sell to the Inspection General Office can be lowered by thirty percent from the original price.”
