Chapter 168: Chapter 29: Is He Ling Buyang?
The Elder Liu, who wanted to learn the Xuanlong Palm, had said he wouldn’t take the likes of concubines such as Ling Buyang anymore. Now that Lady Yu suddenly appeared and was related to a bet, it was very likely that she was the same person.
“Tell her I’m dealing with an urgent matter and have something to attend to; we can talk when I get home!”
Knowing his true situation, meeting face to face would easily give him away, so Zhang Xuan waved his hand dismissively and walked briskly towards the door.
He had not left Heaven Mandate Hall when he saw Xie Feng approaching a woman, who appeared to be in her early twenties and radiated the vibrance of youth.
Unnecessary Hall, a concubine in her early twenties—it seemed that this Ling Buyang had more secrets than I had imagined.
He contacted Sun Qiang through a special method and quickly located him.
Money makes things easy; the butler had already rented a mansion covering over ten acres, quite expansive.
Upon his arrival, the other party greeted him: “Young Master, shall we hire a batch of subordinates?”
“Not for now!”
Zhang Xuan shook his head, his thoughts shifted, and Dao Li appeared before him: “Whatever needs doing, just command it; four legs run faster...”
In his mansion, he would often appear in both identities—Zhang Xuan and Ling Buyang. Hiring subordinates made it hard to guarantee that no information would be leaked.
“Hehe, hehe...” Dao Li nodded seriously, indicating agreement.
“You all come out too!”
The space twinkled, and Nie Lingxi, Zhao Ya, and the others all appeared before him.
After practicing in the Suspended Realm for some time, everyone had already adapted to the Source World, and their sudden appearance did not feel out of the ordinary, just filled with curiosity.
“No wonder this is the founding place of thousands of worlds; the space here is indeed more stable and the oppressive force is stronger!”
After feeling around, Nie Lingxi couldn’t help but remark.
In the Empyrean, although she was a God Monarch, here she was no different from ordinary people; let alone flying or burrowing, she would get winded just from running a few steps.
Zhang Xuan nodded: “These are the identity tokens I’ve prepared for you.”
He handed out a token to everyone that he had obtained from Yu Longqing, and he continued, “Everyone should practice here for now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at any time. If I am practicing, you can also consult Sun Qiang...”
Everyone nodded in unison.
After leaving the Tianxuan Kingdom, Zhao Ya and the others mostly followed their teacher’s arrangements, which they had since grown accustomed to. Nie Lingxi smiled slightly but said little.
On the contrary, the little yellow chick was flying curiously up and high.
Indeed, upon arriving in the Source World, under the pressure of the potent Origin qi, the creature returned to its “chicken” form from its humanoid shape.
Asking Dao Li to take everyone for a stroll, Zhang Xuan called Sun Qiang over again and instructed earnestly: “I’ll give you two days to find out exactly how many Fate Masters there are in this Heaven Mandate Hall, how many branches there are in Han Yuan City, and which powers they belong to!”
To impersonate Ling Buyang more convincingly without being discovered, remaining ignorant was certainly not an option; he at least needed to understand the situation in Han Yuan City.
“Young Master, rest assured, I’ve got this...” Sun Qiang replied with a slight smile.
He was adept at gathering information. Whenever he arrived in a new place, he could quickly find sources of information and clarify whatever he wanted to know.
In the most famous clinic within Fuyuan Trading Company, Yu Fei looked nervously at the elderly physician in front of him.
This was Feng Jin, a physician well-known throughout the entire kingdom!
His child’s diagnosis, which indicated that only the Red Leaf Herb could save them, came from this man.
“Elder Feng, how... how is he?”
With palpable anxiety, Yu Fei asked cautiously.
To obtain this herb, his family of three had almost perished in the mountains; fortunately, they were saved by an expert.
“Don’t worry, with the Crimson Frond, I guarantee his safety...”
Feng Jin nodded.
“Thank you, Elder Feng...”
Hearing the confirmation, Yu Fei’s face flushed with excitement as he paid the consultation fee. After a while, something occurred to him, and he handed over a painting: “Elder Feng, there’s one more thing I need to trouble you with. As a physician who has seen much and knows many people, do you perhaps recognize the person in this picture?”
Feng Jin received the scroll with a curious expression and gently unrolled it, revealing a lifelike portrait of a middle-aged man in his forties.
The resemblance to the real person was uncanny, a testament to the artist’s skill.
“What do you need this person for?” Instead of answering right away, Feng Jin asked.
“It’s like this...” Yu Fei detailed the incident of searching for the herb and their dangerous encounter that resulted in being saved.
After listening, Feng Jin looked puzzled: “Are you saying... the three of you were chased by Unnecessary Hall, and this person, upon seeing the injustice, killed all the robbers?”
“Exactly that. He is the savior of our family, and we are determined to repay our debt of gratitude to him, no matter the cost!”
Yu Fei nodded earnestly, full of hope: “Since you ask about him like this, do you know who he is? I would be infinitely grateful if you could just tell us...”
“I do recognize him, but I’m afraid you won’t believe me!”
Feng Jin said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
“Oh? Please do tell, Elder Feng! Whether we believe it or not, my wife and I will have our own conclusions.”
Yu Fei pressed.
On the side, Xiaoying also bowed respectfully: “Elder Feng...”
“All right, it’s no big deal to tell you!”
Eager to prevent them from asking any further, Feng Jin explained, “If your drawing is accurate and I haven’t mistaken, this man is none other than the Hall Master of Unnecessary Hall, Ling Buyang!”
“He is... Ling Buyang?”
Yu Fei was stunned in place.
Unnecessary Hall had been ruthlessly pursuing them, yet their Hall Master intervened to save people without asking for anything in return... What exactly was going on?
For a moment, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
ps: On weekends, I accompany kids to various tutoring classes, the older one with mom and the younger one with dad... From now on, there will be one update on Saturdays and Sundays, and two updates from Monday to Friday.”
