This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 364 - 82 Wu’an Guard_2

Chapter 364 -82 Wu’an Guard_2

In front and behind this ‘Qilin,’ there were two black cars serving as guards, protecting it in the middle.

“Holy shit, it really is a Qilin! So cool!”

Several male students were watching, unable to take their eyes off.

They all loved cars, especially the bulletproof ‘Qilin,’ finding it both good-looking and practical with a high snob appeal.

Although students admitted to Wuda generally came from affluent families, not every family could own a ‘Qilin’.

It wasn’t something that money could simply buy.

“Who is this, traveling with such style?”

“It must be some important figure from Wuda.”

The students discussed among themselves, stopping by the road at the school gate, wanting to take another look at the ‘Qilin.’

Soon, the three cars arrived at the main gate.

As per regulations, anyone entering or leaving the school in a vehicle had to be checked, so the windows of the three cars were rolled down one after another.

“Holy shit, so cool, whose guard is that?”

The students saw the guards in silver armor first and were stunned by their handsomeness.

Then they looked at the person sitting in the backseat of the ‘Qilin,’ trying to see which big shot was traveling.

“This… isn’t this Li Fei? That peerless prodigy?!”

“Holy shit, it really is him!”

At Wuda, if one were to talk about who was the most famous student.

It used to be Wang Fengqing, now it was Li Fei.

So, the students recognized Li Fei.

“No way, has he become this awesome now?!”

Under the bewildered gazes of the group, the car windows rolled up again, and the three cars slowly drove out of the main gate of Wuda.

Soon, news of Li Fei being protected by a team of guards and leaving Wuda in a ‘Qilin’ spread quickly.

For a moment, almost everyone at Wuda was talking about him.

…

Datong District, Datong Guesthouse.

This was the highest level guesthouse built by the Government of Datong Prefecture, exclusively for receiving visiting officials, and only if they were Imperial Officials.

Though called a guesthouse, it was actually a very luxurious mansion.

The three cars stopped outside the gates of the mansion, and the two gatekeepers perked up when they saw the dark golden ‘Qilin’ in the middle.

After the vehicles had stopped, one gatekeeper immediately jogged over to the passenger side of the ‘Qilin,’ bent slightly, and smiled brilliantly.

The window was rolled down, and the guard sitting in the passenger seat gave the gatekeeper a look. His cool demeanor combined with his icy stare send shivers through him.

“We’re here to visit Mr. Yan Shijin, we have an appointment,” said the guard.

Hearing this, the gatekeeper’s smile grew even brighter:

“May I ask who is here?”

“Wuda, Li Fei.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

The gatekeeper hurried away.

Shangguan Xiao had asked Fu Lang for three favors, one of which was to help her initiate contact with Yan Shijin from the provincial city’s investigation team.

But until now, Yan Shijin had not responded to Fu Lang.

However, today Li Fei simply called the guesthouse and asked them to relay a message that he wanted to visit Mr. Yan Shijin, who immediately agreed.

“Being called a ‘Legendary Prodigy’ really does work wonders,” Li Fei mused to himself.

Shortly after, the gates of the mansion opened, and the two gatekeepers signaled that the cars could enter.

After entering, someone directed them to park the cars at a designated spot, and then everyone got out.

“Stay here,” Li Fei told the six guards.

With his emotional intelligence, of course, he wouldn’t bring the guards along to meet Yan Shijin as that would be too ostentatious.

Then he alone followed a servant into a small courtyard.

“Please have a seat, here’s some tea.”

The servant led Li Fei into a large hall, invited him to sit, and offered him tea.

It was only a few minutes before a man with slightly dark skin, embroidered with cranes on his official robe, strode in.

Seeing this robe, Li Fei knew the man was indeed Yan Shijin.

“Wuda student Li Fei, pays respects to Mr. Yan.”

Li Fei stood up, bowing respectfully to Yan Shijin.

Yan Shijin stepped forward to lift him up, smiling, “Let me take a good look at our Feng Province’s peerless prodigy.”

“Oh no, not just Feng Province, should say the legendary prodigy of our era!”

Li Fei bowed again, “You flatter me, Mr. Yan.”

“Eh, your record isn’t false, being first through the ages is being first through the ages, no flattery necessary.”

Yan Shijin warmly grasped Li Fei’s hand. “Come, sit down and chat.”

“Although I’m the fastest to have reached the Tao Foundation Stage, it doesn’t mean I’m genuinely the foremost prodigy of the era.”

Li Fei modestly stated.

In fact, what he said was indeed true, as being quick to Breakthrough doesn’t necessarily mean having the highest ultimate limit.

To truly be considered the top prodigy of the era, one must at least wait until Li Fei had reached the Peak of Martial Arts before making such a claim.

Seeing that Li Fei, despite his young age, was so composed, Yan Shijin couldn’t help but regard him even more highly:

“I heard Principal Shi took you on as his student?”

Li Fei responded, “The Principal just asked me to visit him once every week.”

“That means he has taken you on as his student.”

Yan Shijin patted his own thigh. “Principal Shi is a Great Grandmaster. Being his student, you must cherish this opportunity; your future will be boundless!”

“Yes, thank you for your guidance, Lord Yan.”

Li Fei bowed again.

“Ha ha, what guidance is this? You, young man, are too polite.”

Yan Shijin, looking at the righteous-faced Li Fei, laughed as he spoke.

He then started chatting with Li Fei about past events in Xing City, and later, they talked about family matters.

For such a significant figure to be willing to spend so much time sitting down to chat with Li Fei, especially during such a critical time of wrapping up cases in Datong Prefecture, it was a great honor.

Li Fei wasn’t in a hurry either. He just leisurely chatted with Yan Shijin, occasionally saying phrases like “Lord Yan is right,” “Well said, Lord Yan,” “Thank you for your teaching, Lord Yan.”

After chatting for nearly ten minutes, Yan Shijin couldn’t help but wonder:

“Is this kid really just eighteen?”

After taking another sip of tea, Yan Shijin smiled and said:

“Xiao Fei, I have some official duties to attend to, so I won’t stay long.”

“Lord Yan, actually, the reason I came to see you today is that there’s something I want to discuss.”

Li Fei said.

“Oh?”

Yan Shijin looked at Li Fei with a smile.

“The Chief of Xing City’s Zhi Ge Court, Shangguan Xiao, was officially detained the day before yesterday. She’s suspected of conspiring with others to murder Zhang Zongyang, the Helmsman of Datong Prefecture’s Zhi Ge General Hospital,”

Li Fei stated.

“Yes, I’ve heard about it. Our investigation team has also participated in the interrogation and evidence collection concerning Shangguan Xiao,”

Yan Shijin nodded.

“Don’t you find it strange, Lord Yan? Zhang Zongyang was Shangguan Xiao’s biological father.”

“Xiao Fei, you’re still young. There are many instances in this world where people commit patricide or fratricide for the sake of profit.”

“But according to what I know, the key witness Zhang Shiwei was exposed because Shangguan Xiao set a trap to lure him out. If she really was the mastermind behind the scenes, why would she expose herself?”

“I also have my doubts about this matter. I think once the people from Datong Prefecture finish their investigation, they will give me a reasonable explanation.”

Yan Shijin had begun referring to himself as ‘the official.’

“Lord Yan, forgive my frankness, but I fear that the officials handling the case in Datong Prefecture aren’t looking to identify the real culprit but rather to close the case quickly,”

Li Fei said.

“How dare you!”

Yan Shijin suddenly slammed the table.

He looked at Li Fei with authority: “Do you realize that just for the words you just uttered, I could have you charged with a crime?”

Li Fei, unflinching, met Yan Shijin’s gaze:

“Lord Yan, I believe you and the rest of the investigation team came to Datong Prefecture for one purpose, to uncover the truth. If that’s the case, why not spend a little more time and try different methods?”

Li Fei stressed the words ‘spend a little more time.’

Because what he needed most to disrupt the plot set by the mastermind was time. fгeewebnovёl.com

And for the investigation team, an extra day spent in Datong Prefecture was beneficial.

“But I’ve heard that Shangguan Xiao is your martial aunt. Even if we were to try different methods, how could we use yours?”

Yan Shijin asked.

“Lord Yan…”

Before Li Fei could finish, Yan Shijin suddenly stood up, looking sternly at Li Fei:

“Enough. Since you have that connection with Shangguan Xiao, you should be avoiding this matter, not getting involved. You have a bright future ahead, and I hope you don’t ruin it for yourself!”

With that, he turned and left.

Li Fei sat alone in the lobby, slightly frowning.

He had originally thought that with the influence he had built and the support from Wuda, he should have been a good bargaining chip for the provincial investigation team, and their positions should align.

But Yan Shijin’s response completely shattered Li Fei’s expectations.

“Where did it go wrong?”

Li Fei squinted his eyes, murmuring.
