This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 337 - 68: Helping You Cultivate _2

"Ghost King, I'm sorry, I just can't..."

"I know what you all are thinking."

Li Fei raised his hand, interrupting what the people opposite him were about to say.

He actually didn't want to fuss too much with this large group of people:

"Given Qingyuan City's current power, it's indeed difficult to compete against the Poison King and the Gun King, and to take over the Exotic Beast Food business of the entire Datong Prefecture by ourselves. I have already formed a partnership with Feng Sanniang, and adding the Zhang Family will make us more confident.

But let me be blunt, I have no interest in controlling your Zhang Family. As I have agreed to collaborate, I will always treat you as allies. But if you engage in any underhanded activities behind the scenes, don't blame me for being ruthless.

If I want to kill someone, even if you hide inside the building of the Zhi Ge General Hospital, you will still die!"

After saying this, his gaze swept over each member of the Zhang family sitting opposite him, causing them to feel chills down their spines.

"Rest assured, Ghost King, our Zhang Family will definitely be your most steadfast ally from now on!"

Zhang Zongming once again stood up to represent the Zhang Family.

In fact, Li Fei's words at least put people like Zhang Zongming somewhat at ease.

Their biggest concern was that the Green-faced Ghost King would take the opportunity to gradually consume the Zhang Family.

Now that the crisis had been removed, and they could still gain the business of Exotic Beast Food, it seemed not so difficult to fully support Shangguan Xiao using the family's resources.

"Ghost King, Lord Yan Shijin from the provincial city has previously taken the initiative to show goodwill towards our Zhang Family..."

Seeing that the terms had been agreed upon, Zhang Zedong brought up the matter:

"Now that the Zhang Family has officially allied with the Ghost King, may I know your view on this matter?"

Li Fei had discussed this with Shangguan Xiao before coming and now, without hesitation, he said:

"We can talk to them first to see what they want."

"Understood, then I will find an opportunity to visit Lord Yan tomorrow."

Zhang Zedong said.

"Let's settle it then. For the specific details of the cooperation, I will have someone discuss them with you."

Li Fei stood up, ready to leave.

Shangguan Xiao stood up with him, then personally escorted Li Fei out of the Zhang Mansion.

"Is this document delivered from the Inspection General Office related to my father?"

After the two walked out of the Zhang Mansion, Shangguan Xiao suddenly spoke.

Li Fei directly handed the document bag to Shangguan Xiao:

"Yes, I negotiated with the Inspection General Office today and exchanged some benefits for this document."

Shangguan Xiao nodded, took the document bag, and did not say thank you.

Some things are better remembered silently in the heart; saying them out loud might seem pretentious.

Moreover, what Li Fei had done for her could not be settled with just a word of thanks.

"The Inspection General Office told me that they found out your father went to that house that night to meet a woman..."

Li Fei told Shangguan Xiao everything Xia Huan had told him.

...

Shangguan Xiao silently opened the document bag and first took out a portrait.

The portrayed was by a master painter who captured the likeness with just a few strokes.

The woman in the painting looked to be in her twenties, not particularly beautiful, just pretty.

But Li Fei noticed that this woman's facial features bore some resemblance to Shangguan Xiao.

Then he realized that Shangguan Xiao's eyes reddened at the first glance at this portrait.

Li Fei pondered thoughtfully.

A moment later, Shangguan Xiao wiped the corner of her eyes and said to Li Fei:

"This woman greatly resembles my mother."

Li Fei immediately understood.

He recalled a saying he had seen in his previous life:

What you think of as a beauty trap: "Handsome guy, have a drink?"

What the actual beauty trap is: "Stand up straight, stop slouching!"

Many people think true big shots are not short of women, so beauty traps do not work on them.

But the real beauty trap is your childhood crush, the one you yearned for but could never have.

You are defeated not by beauty, but by your younger self...

This woman, who secretly met with Zhang Zongyang, clearly has issues, and might even be Zhang Zongyang's murderer!

Thus, Zhang Zongyang, the Helmsman of the Zhi Ge General Hospital, and the Family Head of the Zhang Family, truly fell for a beauty trap.

The reason Shangguan Xiao lost her composure is that this woman resembles her mother, which surely led Zhang Zongyang to willingly fall into the trap.

After losing her composure, Shangguan Xiao's eyes revealed an extreme murderous intent!

The killer used this method to murder her father, driving her to the height of fury!

She suppressed the surging murderous intent in her heart and continued to look through the documents in the bag.

The remaining documents included the Inspection General Office's investigation on the Zhang family members and, based on the results, listed a few suspects.

These individuals could potentially be the ones who poisoned Zhang Zongyang.

Shangguan Xiao expressionlessly finished reading the documents in her hand.

For a brief moment, she really wanted to turn around, rush back to the Zhang Mansion, and capture all the suspected individuals listed by the Inspection General Office to torture them!

But in the end, she refrained.

"Master..."

"Rest assured, I'm fine."

Shangguan Xiao waved her hand, lifting the documents she held:

"Next, I'll try to probe these people here and see if I can find any loopholes."

"Okay."

Li Fei nodded.

He didn't tell Shangguan Xiao that Feng Sanniang might already know who the real culprit was, worried that she might act rashly.

The death of Zhang Zongyang was definitely not simple and was likely a vortex that could stir up the entire Datong Prefecture.

If Shangguan Xiao wasn't careful and got involved, she could very well be shattered to pieces!

Thus, Li Fei decided to tackle it himself first, to see what really lay hidden behind.

Afterward, the two parted ways, Shangguan Xiao returned to the Government's guesthouse, and Li Fei went back to the Human Face Villa.

It's worth mentioning that the Human Face Villa had been renamed.

The sign at the entrance of the villa was changed to — Green-faced Manor!

After returning to the manor, Li Fei went straight to a villa.

This villa had previously housed the families of Yu Longqing, now those women had been secretly sent away, leaving only Liu Wenjun.

Li Fei entered the basement of the villa.

There was a dungeon there.

In the deepest cell of the dungeon, Liu Wenjun sat cross-legged, practicing.

The cell, forged from steel and partly comprising the bodily tissues of Exotic Beasts, effectively resisted the Force of Martial Artists.

With the thickness of this cell, even a Tao Foundation Stage expert confined inside would find it hard to escape.

"Ghost King."

Outside the cell, a Qi Change Stage martial master and several Martial Artists on guard saw Li Fei arrive and hurriedly saluted.

"You all leave."

Li Fei said.

"Yes."

The men did not waste words and immediately left the dungeon.

Li Fei arrived in front of the cell holding Liu Wenjun and pressed a mechanism.

Boom-Boom-Boom—

The thick iron wall slowly rose.

Inside the cell, the cross-legged Liu Wenjun opened his eyes, startled for a moment upon seeing Li Fei, then scoffed:

"What, changed your mind, deciding to kill me?"

Previously Li Fei had promised her a one-on-one chance after her Breakthrough, her early arrival made her think Li Fei had changed his mind.

Li Fei entered the cell, calmly staring at Liu Wenjun:

"I am here to assist your training."

Hearing this, Liu Wenjun was taken aback, immediately jumped up from the ground into a defensive stance, looking at Li Fei as if he were a pervert:

"What do you want to do?!"

Li Fei: "..."

He realized that his words might have been easily misunderstood.

"...You were practicing 'Unity' just now, right?"

Li Fei asked.

"Yes."

Liu Wenjun still watched him warily.

"Sit down and continue, I will give you guidance to accelerate your training."

Li Fei said.

"You're so kindhearted?"

Liu Wenjun was skeptical.

"If I really wanted to do something to you, could you stop me?"

Li Fei retorted.

"…"

His words silenced Liu Wenjun.

She sadly realized that with the terrifying combat power of the Green-faced Ghost King, she probably couldn't even kill herself if she wanted to.

After a moment of silence, she sat down cross-legged and started practicing 'Unity'.

Li Fei stepped forward, sat down behind her, and placed a hand on her back.

He could clearly feel Liu Wenjun's muscles tense up.

"Relax, focus on the changes inside the Implant."

Li Fei said, while infusing a stream of Geng Metal True Qi into her body.
