Chapter 360: Chapter 359 Who are you?
"Is this kid really so formidable?"
In Jiangbei Danzhou, on the top floor of a skyscraper, in a luxurious office, an elder in Tang costume sat behind the desk, his gaze fixed on Nie Tianhao, his expression solemn.
Nie Tianhao hurriedly nodded, speaking gravely, "Yes, his combat strength is beyond our expectations. All three of us joined forces against him, but we couldn’t even threaten him. I estimate his Realm should be at the Late-stage Innate Realm Peak, and he has learned some sort of technique that can unleash tremendous power."
The elder in Tang costume had a profound look in his eyes. His hair was completely white, yet his face was ruddy, making it difficult to guess his true age.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "The failure of this mission was due to incomplete intelligence from the organization; you are not to blame."
Nie Tianhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Lord."
The elder in Tang costume nodded, "Mhm, you may go. Don’t worry about this matter anymore."
"Yes."
Despite being a martial artist of the Innate Realm, Nie Tianhao was extremely deferential toward the elder in Tang costume and obediently left the office.
Two gleams of sharp light burst from the elder in Tang costume’s profound eyes, "Not yet twenty-four years old, but capable of taking on three opponents and doing so with ease. Such a prodigy is rare even in our homeland, encountered perhaps once in a millennium."
"Chairman, you have a document," Just then, a crisp female voice came from outside the door.
The elder in Tang costume lifted his head and said, "Bring it in."
An OL (office lady) dressed beauty entered, her hips swaying as she walked over to the elder’s desk with a flirtatious gait. She respectfully handed over a document with both hands.
The elder in Tang costume glanced over the woman’s ample features and smiled slightly.
Seeing that he had no further instructions, the woman obediently retired from the room.
The elder in Tang costume opened the document, his gaze immediately drawn to the top right corner.
It was a detailed personal information sheet, akin to a biography of sorts.
In the top right corner was a photo, and on it was none other than Yang Fei.
As the head of Shadow, the elder in Tang costume seldom involved himself in such matters anymore.
But lately, the rumors about a young man named Yang Fei in the Martial Arts World had been too many and increasingly mystical, so he had developed a strong interest and wanted to find out more.
It just so happened that someone had offered a high price to Shadow to seek their help against Yang Fei, which was why he arranged for several martial artists of the Innate Realm to undertake the mission together.
What was thought to be an easy task turned out to be a complete debacle, resulting in losing both wife and soldiers, a heavy loss indeed.
He decided to take a closer look at this new star of the Martial Arts World.
The instant his gaze landed on the photo, the elder in Tang costume’s pupils contracted slightly, and he seemed a bit lost in thought.
Suddenly, two gleams of sharp light erupted from his profound eyes, and his expression turned grave.
After reading through the information carefully, the elder in Tang costume mused for a moment before picking up the phone and dialing a number.
"Investigate something immediately. Remember, go personally."
After hanging up the phone, the elder in Tang costume’s gaze fell back onto the photo, and the more he looked, the stronger the feeling of déjà vu became in his mind.
"Under those circumstances back then, there’s no way you could have fooled all of us, but... why does it look so similar?"
...
These past few days, Yang Fei was feeling depressed.
Qin Yanyang had actually forbidden him from seeing and touching.
This left him feeling very frustrated.
Although they slept in the same room every night, they didn’t sleep but devoted themselves entirely to cultivation.
In Qin Yanyang’s words, this was called "positive improvement."
She believed this method of cultivation was good for both of them, and she felt that she might be able to ascend to the next level within a few years, entering the Realm like Zhang Wenfeng’s.
Yang Fei thought that this could be an opportunity for him to recover to his peak condition, so there wouldn’t be any hidden troubles and even if they weren’t together, she wouldn’t have to worry about Yang Fei encountering a powerful enemy and losing control due to the massive depletion of his True Yuan.
In short, according to Qin Yanyang, this was for the future of both of them.
In fact, Yang Fei knew she was worried that he would keep nagging her every day until she might falter and let him have his way.
She was striving to maintain the final mystery between them.
Yang Fei respected her, and even revered and loved her.
But because he had had a taste of her, he felt somewhat guilty towards her, only able to hold back for two days before his mind began to miss Tong Yunshu again.
Of course, it wasn’t just for that thing that he missed Tong Yunshu.
Actually, he hadn’t contacted Tong Yunshu in the past few days, yet he thought about this woman who had devoted everything to him every day, feeling that she was the person he was most sorry for.
But what could he do?
He couldn’t just lose Qin Yanyang, could he?
These things had to be taken slowly.
Both were good women, and he didn’t want to lose either of them.
However, he knew that good things come to those who wait, and to hold onto both, he would have to pay a price.
That afternoon, after Yang Fei finished his work at the clinic, he struggled internally, wondering whether or not to go see Tong Yunshu.
It had been three days since he last saw her.
He really missed her.
As he was struggling, Xu Xingzhou called.
"Mr. Yang, I hope I haven’t disturbed you at work?" Xu Xingzhou’s respectful voice came through.
Yang Fei said, "Not at all, what’s up?"
"Ahem, it’s like this, my family’s elder has emerged from seclusion, and he would like to meet you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you."
Yang Fei’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Has he come to Binhai?"
This elder was a legendary figure in the Divine Continent Martial World fifty years ago, and still alive after fifty years, his current Realm was likely far beyond what it was back then.
"No, my grandfather asked me to inquire whether you would be troubled to make a trip to our home, since the elder has just left seclusion and cannot leave the house for the time being," Xu Xingzhou said cautiously.
Yang Fei frowned slightly when he heard this.
It wasn’t that he was worried about the Xu Family having other intentions, with his current combat strength, even if the Xu Family elder had entered the Divine Travel Realm like Zhang Yunfeng, he wasn’t afraid.
But the problem was that he was a bit tied down recently.
Ever since Li Xuanyu told him about the sightings of Zhuge Wei and Zhuge Hong, he had been waiting for their appearance.
A week had passed, yet the two hadn’t shown up, and this made him feel very passive.
Now leaving Binhai, he was worried about Qin Yanyang being alone and something happening to her.
However, the Xu Family had already taken his side, and he had promised to help the Xu family members enhance their strength. Now that the Xu Family elder wanted to meet him after emerging from seclusion, it would be a bit unreasonable to refuse.
After a brief hesitation, Yang Fei said, "How about this, let me ask my wife first to see if she has time."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingzhou joyfully said, "Alright, then I’ll wait for your news."
Just as he hung up, his phone rang again.
Seeing that it was Yang Wen’s number, Yang Fei immediately smiled and answered with a laugh, "Wenwen, it’s been several days since you’ve come home for dinner, are you returning home to eat with your sister-in-law today?"
A cold female voice came from the other end, "Yang Fei, if you don’t want something to happen to your sister, come and meet me right away."
Yang Fei’s pupils contracted, and a chilling coldness seeped out from his body, "Who are you?"
