Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Princess of Pan County_1
After pursuing for a while, Wolf King suddenly said, "Xiao Qinzi, that person is moving too fast. Their scent is about to fade."
"So quickly?" Qin Feiyang was surprised.
Wolf King stated, "According to Brother Wolf’s estimation, that person’s speed exceeds Shi Zheng’s!"
"What?" Qin Feiyang was immensely shocked.
Shi Zheng is a Nine-Star War King. To surpass Shi Zheng, wouldn’t that make them a War Emperor?
No! I need to figure out a solution quickly. If we lose them, all of today’s effort will have been for naught.
Soon, he had an idea.
While still speeding along, he took out the Image Crystal Stone and quickly activated it.
A phantasmal image appeared. It was Chief Li!
After Lin Yiyi and the others had left Yan City, he had established a contract bridge with Chief Li.
The reason he had contacted Chief Li was because Chief Li was in West City and could rush over immediately.
"Mr. Jian..."
"No, I should call you Boss Qin now."
"Contacting this old man so late at night, are you looking to discuss ideals with me? Or perhaps relationships?"
"If it’s ideals, this old man will accompany you to the end."
"But if it’s relationships, this old man is truly powerless. Go find your little beauties!" Chief Li teased.
Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. He said, "I don’t have the mood for your nonsense right now. I’m currently on the main road in West City. Come and help me quickly, and remember to conceal your aura."
"You’re in West City?"
Chief Li was taken aback. He replied, "Wait. I’m coming to find you now."
The phantasmal image then vanished.
In less than a dozen breaths, Chief Li found Qin Feiyang. He silently landed beside him and, frowning, said, "Why are you two running around West City in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Qin Feiyang said in a deep voice, "I’ve found an imposter of the Lin family’s old ancestor. White-Eyed Wolf is tracking him, but that person is too fast, and their scent is quickly disappearing, so I came to you for help."
"An imposter?"
Chief Li’s pupils contracted. He looked towards Wolf King and instructed, "You point the way. I’ll take you there."
With that, he swept up the man and wolf and, following Wolf King’s directions, tore through the air.
Soon after, they arrived at a wide crossroads.
This was the junction for the four main city districts.
Similarly, arriving here also meant that the truth about which power the imposter Lin family ancestor belonged to was about to be revealed.
Qin Feiyang and Chief Li both felt inexplicably nervous.
Wolf King sniffed hard and said with a sly grin, "That person went to South City."
Both their pupils contracted.
South City was the Elixir King Palace!
This meant that the imposter was from the Elixir King Palace!
Chief Li’s face was grim as he led the man and wolf towards the Elixir King Palace.
Several dozen breaths later, the Elixir King Palace finally came into view.
However, they didn’t proceed further. They hid in a dark spot instead.
Wolf King said, "The scent leads to the Elixir King Palace."
Chief Li said softly, "Little one, this is no laughing matter. You must be certain."
Wolf King said irritably, "Nonsense! Brother Wolf’s nose has never been wrong."
"Good. Let’s go find Ma Cheng and the others to get to the bottom of this!"
A cold light flickered in Chief Li’s old eyes.
"We can’t go now."
Qin Feiyang hastily grabbed him and shook his head.
Chief Li looked at him, puzzled.
Qin Feiyang said, "Although we now know that the one impersonating the Lin family’s old ancestor is from the Elixir King Palace, we haven’t seen his true face yet. If we rush to question them now, they will surely deny it."
"Right. My head was muddled by urgency; I forgot about that."
Chief Li slapped his forehead forcefully, looking somewhat annoyed.
Luckily, this boy reminded me; otherwise, we would have startled the snake in the grass.
This boy’s composure truly made one look at him with new eyes, time and time again.
After pondering for a short while, Qin Feiyang added, "Judging by the speed, Ma Cheng can be ruled out."
"Why?" Wolf King asked.
"Because Ma Cheng’s strength is comparable to Yan Nanshan’s, and his speed far surpasses Chief Li’s. If it were him, we wouldn’t have been able to track him at all. Therefore, we can focus our suspicion on Jia Hei and Elder He," Qin Feiyang stated.
Chief Li nodded and smiled, "Leave the task of investigating them to me!"
Qin Feiyang cupped his hands. "Then I’ll have to trouble Chief Li." He smiled faintly. "When I get back, I’ll immediately inform the Hall Master and the others. Once the Martial King Palace and Treasure Pavilion join forces, I believe it won’t take long to find out."
Wolf King asked suspiciously, "Do you think the person impersonating the Lin family’s old ancestor might be one of the two War Emperors who defected to the Blood Slaughter Palace?"
"It’s possible."
"But we can’t jump to conclusions before the truth is clear," Chief Li shook his head, a trace of worry on his face.
On the surface, Yan City was calm, but in truth, an undercurrent was surging.
"That’s right," Qin Feiyang nodded and said to Chief Li with a smile, "I’ll have to trouble you again to take us to the Flying Phoenix Building."
After meeting up with Shi Zheng, Qin Feiyang didn’t delay and quickly returned to the Martial King Palace.
「The Hall of Law Enforcement!」
After hearing Qin Feiyang’s account, Elder Wan and the beautiful woman were also quite surprised.
After discussing for a moment more, Qin Feiyang prepared to leave.
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
The beautiful woman stopped him, her expression serious. "Two distinguished guests have arrived at Quiet Heart Lake. You must keep Fatty and Wolf King in check."
"Distinguished guests?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned. He asked, "Is it that princess you mentioned?"
"You know?" Elder Wan and the beautiful woman were surprised.
Qin Feiyang said, "I happened to meet them outside the city yesterday morning. Who exactly are they?"
Elder Wan replied, "They are from Pan County. The young girl is King Pan’s daughter, Xia Qianqian. As for that old witch, she’s the Law Enforcement Elder of Pan County’s Martial King Palace."
"Old witch?" Qin Feiyang, Wolf King, and Shi Zheng were stunned.
The beautiful woman coughed dryly and reminded, "Old Wan, watch your image."
"That’s just how I am, straightforward and outspoken. If I’m not happy about something, I’m not happy about it," Elder Wan snorted coldly.
The beautiful woman gave a bitter smile and waved her hand. "Go on now, and remember not to cause trouble."
"Yes," Qin Feiyang nodded.
After they left the Hall of Law Enforcement, Shi Zheng shook his head and said, "It seems those two aren’t here in our Yan Province on a friendly visit!"
Wolf King grinned slyly. "Guys, what do you think? If this princess from Pan County became Brother Wolf’s little attendant, wouldn’t that be impressive?"
"Little attendant?"
Qin Feiyang and Shi Zheng exchanged a look, veins throbbing on their foreheads.
「Quiet Heart Lake!」
Qin Feiyang stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the pavilion across the water.
The third building.
A faint candlelight shone from a window on the second floor.
Shi Zheng looked down at Wolf King and said in a deep voice, "I’m telling you one more time, absolutely do not act recklessly."
On the way, he had repeated this at least a dozen times. He was genuinely uneasy.
Because this Rogue Wolf was too much of a rascal; one couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t actually do something idiotic.
"So annoying!" Wolf King rolled his eyes at him and turned to run towards the opposite bank.
Shi Zheng looked at Qin Feiyang, who also wore a helpless expression.
「Back at the pavilion.」
Fatty and Lu Hong were not cultivating or resting. They sat by the tea table, both looking anxious.
Seeing Wolf King return safely, they both finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fatty quickly sidled up to Wolf King, fawning, "Brother Wolf, please, take a seat."
"What are you up to? Let me tell you, Brother Wolf is very pure. Don’t even think about defiling Brother Wolf," Wolf King said, looking at him warily.
PFFT!
Qin Feiyang had just taken a sip of tea and sprayed it all out.
Lu Hong couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Fatty’s face darkened, and he said angrily, "What’s that supposed to mean? Am I, Master Fatty, that kind of despicable person? Master Fatty just wanted to ask if you went out of the city because you found some treasure?"
Wolf King’s eyes twinkled, and he nodded. "You’re truly clever. Brother Wolf indeed found many, many treasures. Among them, one treasure was even a pig."
"A pig?"
Fatty was愣神. Is a pig considered a treasure? Could it be a mutated divine pig?
Lu Hong burst out laughing.
Isn’t Fatty usually quite clever? Why is he being so stupid now? Doesn’t he realize the pig Wolf King is talking about is him?
Truly, when the Dao rises one foot, the Devil rises ten. Faced with the shameless Wolf King, Fatty’s meager abilities were clearly insufficient!
Seeing the expressions on Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong’s faces, and then the teasing look in Wolf King’s eyes, Fatty suddenly realized.
So, the pig Wolf King was talking about was him?
His face instantly turned ashen.
Just as things were about to explode.
Qin Feiyang coughed lightly, smiling faintly, "Alright, alright. Let me tell you all something."
"What is it?" Lu Hong asked, puzzled.
Fatty sat in his chair, engaging in a staring contest with Wolf King.
Qin Feiyang briefly explained the matter of the fake Lin family ancestor.
"There’s such a thing?" Fatty’s eyes widened in disbelief.
So it turned out Wolf King didn’t run out of the city just to play.
Lu Hong said, "This is a breakthrough point."
Having been with Qin Feiyang and the others for a long time, her mind had also become more agile than before.
Qin Feiyang said, "So, during this next period, none of you should leave the Martial King Palace. The plan to capture Yiyi failed. I’m worried the people from the Blood Slaughter Palace might target you all again."
"We just resolved our grudges with the major powers, and now a Blood Slaughter Palace pops up. This is truly never-ending!" Lu Hong sighed deeply and asked, "Should we continue to distribute the elixirs?"
Fatty said, his heart aching, "Master Fatty thinks there’s no need to distribute them anymore. After all, that’s money!"
"No." Qin Feiyang shook his head decisively. "If we stop distributing them now, it would be like demolishing the bridge after crossing the river. I can’t do such a thing. We’ll continue to distribute the elixirs. Besides, some healing elixirs and Bone-renewing Pills aren’t worth much money anyway."
Fatty frowned and said helplessly, "Suit yourself!"
Qin Feiyang asked, "Have you seen that princess from Pan County?"
"We’ve seen her." Lu Hong nodded, looking at Qin Feiyang with a puzzled expression. She said, "She came looking for you several times. It seems she’s very interested in you. Did you provoke her?"
"Provoke her?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback. He shook his head and said, "I don’t think so. We only met once outside the city."
"Boss, is Master Fatty going to get another sister-in-law?"
"Let Master Fatty count... Feng Ling’er makes one, Lo Qingzhu makes two, Lin Yiyi makes three. If we add Zhao Shuang’er and that princess from Pan County, that’s five!"
"Heavens, Boss! Your charm is practically heaven-defying!" Fatty made an extremely exaggerated expression and exclaimed in awe.
"Get lost!" Qin Feiyang glared at Fatty angrily.
He really couldn’t understand what on earth was in this idiot’s head. All day long, he just thought about these ridiculous things.
