“Alright, I’ll go report to Master now.” Han Su Fairy bowed to Qin Heng and then turned to leave.
After Han Su Fairy left, Qin Heng looked at Qin Yue in confusion: “Is that boy, Chang’an, really sick?”
“He is indeed sick. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself,” Qin Yue nodded and replied.
“Eating medicine indiscriminately when there’s nothing wrong, serves him right! Take good care of him, I’m going to Heaven Sword Peak,” Qin Heng said irritably, then flew away on his sword.
Zi Yun looked at her daughter suspiciously: “Is he really sick?”
“Really,” Qin Yue said firmly.
“Hmm?” Zi Yun made a skeptical sound.
“However, he deliberately took those medicines because he didn’t want to go,” Qin Yue honestly confessed.
“You deliberately poisoned yourself, what exactly is your plan?” Arriving at Qing Feng’s hut, Zi Yun looked at him, puzzled.
She had always known that although Qing Feng was lazy and disliked fighting, his mind worked very quickly.
“Going there would mean big trouble. When the Law Enforcement Hall was established back then, the two strongest Lineages, Heaven Sword and Sword Wielding, jointly promoted it. They fought for decades over management rights. Now that the Law Enforcement Hall is having problems and the struggle between the Seven Lineages is imminent, wouldn’t my going there be seeking my own death?”
Qing Feng lay on the bed, smiling. Ever since he became involved with the Law Enforcement Hall, he had carefully studied its history.
“What does that have to do with you? Do you know what Sect Leader wants you to do?” Zi Yun asked, puzzled.
“I’m just guessing, it might be to have me join the Bixi Squad, specifically to supervise other Law Enforcement Disciples,” Qing Feng replied.
“Join the Bixi Squad? Is your cultivation enough? Besides, you’re not even an official Disciple of Han Ming Peak yet. Are you muddled from the poisoning?” Zi Yun looked at the child she had watched grow up, her face full of confusion.
“Because I’m not from Han Ming Peak, I can join the Bixi Squad. Previously, this squad was composed internally from the Han Ming Lineage, but starting today, the Bixi Squad will no longer have members from the Han Ming Lineage. This is for balance,” Qing Feng explained.
“This incident involves the descendants of martyrs. To appease the public, it was decided to have the descendants of martyrs form a new Bixi Squad. Your identity meets the criteria, and although your cultivation is slightly lower, you’ve reached Foundation Establishment, so you’ll definitely be selected,” Zi Yun suddenly understood.
“Exactly.” Qing Feng nodded in agreement. In this situation, identity was more important than cultivation.
Within the Beast Taming Sect, who would dare to lay a hand on a Law Enforcement Disciple?
“This is great! Becoming a member of the Law Enforcement Hall means others will be wary of you, and Sect resources will favor you more. Why refuse such a good opportunity?” Zi Yun seemed very excited.
As a Law Enforcement Disciple, not only did cultivation resources and Salary increase, but their status far exceeded that of a top scholar in the secular world, commanding three points of respect.
Looking at his excited Martial Mother, Qing Feng was even more convinced of his judgment. His sister’s intelligence was exactly like his Martial Mother’s: “Good thing? I’m worried that a few days after I take office, Martial Mother, you’ll have to collect my corpse.”
“What nonsense are you talking about, child? Although suddenly being supervised will make the Han Ming Lineage uncomfortable, they wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on you, wouldn’t that be utterly foolish?” Zi Yun said.
“They can even bully their own people to death; if such things can happen, Martial Mother, do you think the Han Ming Lineage wouldn’t be that stupid?” Qing Feng replied seriously.
“With Great Black around, they can’t harm you. Or perhaps you’re just too timid, missing out on a good opportunity for nothing,” Zi Yun added.
“Opportunities and risks coexist, Martial Mother. If I go, I’ll be facing more than just the Han Ming Lineage. Don’t you think this matter is developing too quickly? Someone committed suicide this morning, and this afternoon, so many indignant people appeared.”
Qing Feng raised his concerns.
“Are you saying someone is manipulating things behind the scenes?” Zi Yun asked in surprise.
Qing Feng nodded firmly: “It’s normal to be angry out of a sense of justice, like Senior Martial Brother Mo from Sword Sharpening Peak; he’s an orphan himself, so he naturally can’t tolerate it. But for people like those from Dragon Yang Peak, their reaction is abnormal.”
At the Hero Memorial, the descendants of martyrs used their lives to make a complaint, an incident sufficient to shake the entire atmosphere of the Beast Taming Sect and anger many elders who were descendants of martyrs.
However, after all, the deceased was a Disciple of the Han Ming Lineage, and they should handle it themselves. Although the impact was severe, it wouldn’t shake the foundation of the Law Enforcement Hall.
“What you’re trying to say is that they want to control the Law Enforcement Hall themselves, deliberately muddying the waters and escalating the matter to replace the Han Ming Lineage,” Zi Yun gasped.
Qing Feng nodded firmly; otherwise, things couldn’t have progressed so quickly. It even couldn’t be ruled out that Zhang Guohua’s death was also meticulously arranged by someone.
Because they couldn’t lay a hand on the Sect Leader, they could only cause trouble for the Bixi Squad. They wanted to incite conflict between the Bixi Squad and the Han Ming Lineage’s Law Enforcement Hall, even planning to frame the squad members.
But this method would not only be ineffective but also harm the descendants of the martyrs, so the power of the Law Enforcement Hall had to be distributed among seven people.
Among these descendants of martyrs, I am a direct Disciple, but my strength is very weak.
If I go, someone will definitely try every means to provoke you, Martial Mother, so that you support the decision to split the Law Enforcement Hall.
So I absolutely cannot go.
Qing Feng said solemnly.
Zi Yun was shocked. She had always known that this Disciple of hers was intelligent and clever.
Although he was somewhat lazy and didn’t actively pursue improvement, he was exceptionally talented. As long as he was willing to work hard, he would surely achieve great things.
Even if Qing Feng were truly foolish, she would still find his various merits.
After all, one’s own child is always the best. Now, she truly felt shocked and even admired, completely defeated in terms of wisdom.
Qin Yue and Yan Yi had already heard Qing Feng explain it once, and they were still shocked this time. Looking at the surprised Zi Yun, Qing Feng felt a sense of pride in his heart, even happier than shocking Zi Yun himself.
“You are right, no matter who comes, they will be poisoned and injured.” Zi Yun composed herself, earnestly cautioned Qing Feng a few times, and then left.
Qin Yue and Yan Yi also left after giving their own cautions, leaving Qing Feng alone to close his eyes and rest, entering a state of cultivation.
In the Sea of Dreams, spiritual butterflies danced, divine Kun soared, great Rocs spread their wings, and Kirin galloped.
Below the Nascent Soul stage, two lotus petals transformed from illusory to solid.
Strength is the foundation; only by continuously becoming stronger, and reaching the Mahayana stage, can one face everything with greater confidence.
As soon as Qin Heng arrived at the main hall, he heard someone shouting: “The Law Enforcement Hall belongs to the Dragon Yang Lineage!” Then sword light flashed, and Qin Heng frowned, suddenly regretting coming. “This Reishi grows on my Xuan Ming Peak; why are the people from Chaoyang Peak causing trouble?”
“Who said that? An ownerless item belongs to the virtuous. My Martial Brother discovered and nurtured it first. You want to snatch it? Dream on.”
“Nonsense! Sect rules state that items belong to the peak they are on. You want to twist black and white? Today, we’ll take you to the Law Enforcement Hall.”
“Alright! Sect Leader just emphasized that Law Enforcement Disciples should follow Sect laws and not threaten others with their status as law enforcers. You are now violating Sect rules, so today I will take you to see the Bixi Squad.”
