"My apologies, my subordinate is new to Yaoging, and her condition is not ideal today. Please excuse her, General."
After Qingque got up, Fu Xuan looked at her, head bowed and seemingly too embarrassed to face anyone, and said helplessly to Feixiao.
"Not at all, not at all. The food in Yaoging and Luofu differs, so it's normal to have some acclimatization issues."
Seeing Fu Xuan's embarrassed expression, Feixiao quickly said, giving her an out.
Actually… Xianzhou people look like ordinary people. In reality, on an ordinary planet, each of them would be considered an immortal. How could they get an upset stomach…
"Miss Qingque, how are you? Would you like to rest a bit more?"
Feixiao looked at Qingque with a smile, emphasizing the name "Qingque."
He already knew yesterday that Sushang's name was fake, since Qingque didn't know. But Feixiao knew whose daughter Sushang was; her mother's sword skills alone were not inferior to his own, so how could he not know? This girl was probably the type who, if her parents asked who she skipped class with to go to an internet cafe, she'd say she went with Sushang…
"Thank you for your kindness, General. Qingque was just a little excited, she's much better now…"
Qingque gave an awkward laugh, for a moment even contemplating abandoning Fu Xuan and just escaping from here.
However, Feixiao didn't dwell on these matters, as she wasn't one to meddle. Instead, she looked at Tingyun, who was behind the two.
"You must be Tingyun, right?"
"I've long heard of General Feixiao's great name. Meeting you today truly shows that seeing is believing; the real General Feixiao is even more handsome than rumored. This humble one is Tingyun, an employee of the Sky-Faring Commission of Luofu. I salute you."
Seeing Feixiao look at her, Tingyun's large ears twitched, and she said respectfully.
"No need to be so formal in front of me. Today's occasion isn't that official, so relax. I've long heard Sister Yukung talk about how adorable and pleasing her little sister is. Seeing you today, you truly are charming. Remember to have fun during this invitation, and if you have any difficulties, just tell me. In Yaoging, I call the shots!"
Feixiao waved her hand grandly, speaking with a bold demeanor. This little Fox-people girl was truly endearing. No wonder Sister Yukung loved her so much; who wouldn't be delighted to meet such a sister?
"Then thank you, Sister Feixiao. Little sister has noted it down."
Tingyun, being clever, nodded and said after seeing Feixiao's attitude.
Besides the Xianzhou Loufu, this time, representatives from Xianzhou Zhuming also arrived at the Yaoqing Xianzhou. General Huaiyan, being advanced in years, was not interested in such matters and dispatched his granddaughter along with a Vidyadhara member named Dan Zhu.
They claimed to be representing Zhu Ming to participate, but in reality, his little granddaughter had been nagging to come here to play. Huaiyan couldn't refuse and wasn't at ease letting the little one come alone, so he had Dan Zhu accompany her.

After Feixiao left, Wei went to the clinic in front. Wei's daily life was very monotonous. Besides accompanying Feixiao when she rested, he would be at the clinic, occasionally tending to flowers. However, he didn't even need to tend to the flowers himself, as their leaves would be eaten by the silly dog in the backyard before they even yellowed.
After all, you never know when someone might have an emergency, and if he wasn't there when a patient arrived, something might happen.
However, his luck today was quite good. From opening until around ten in the morning, there wasn't a single customer. After all, having customers meant having illnesses, and even though the Long-Life species have strong constitutions, they are not immune to sickness.
With no one ill, Wei was happy to be at leisure, as he wasn't particularly short on money.
Until a certain moment, a large man pushed open the outer door and walked into the clinic.
"Instead of going out to make a name for yourself, you're cooped up in this dog-hole of a place as a small doctor? Honored One, you disappoint me greatly."
The big man looked around, his eyes filled with disdain as he saw the "Miraculous Healer" banner hanging on the wall.
"I wondered who it was. I haven't even actively sought you out, yet you've come to me?"
Wei stood up, hung a "Temporarily Closed" sign on the clinic, and then slowly walked into the backyard.
It was indeed the acquaintance he had seen yesterday. Wei had originally planned to find an opportunity to look for him, but he didn't expect him to come looking for him first.
"Yes, I didn't expect it either, that Zhong Gu, the Honored One of the Abundance Faction, is still alive. Instead, he's living in seclusion on this Yaoqing Xianzhou. I wonder how those old subordinates will react when they find out? This is simply a great betrayal."
"Lei Huan, from the beginning to the end, I never acknowledged the so-called name of Zhong Gu. Moreover, before I escaped, I had already arranged everything for everyone. As long as they don't step into this muddy water again, they can live well."
Wei looked at Lei Huan and said again, "I ask you, what is your intention for coming to Yaoging? Answer truthfully."
He looked at Lei Huan, no emotion visible in his eyes.
"So scary, that expression... it's like he wants to kill me... I don't think you would do that, would you, Honored One?"
Lei Huan looked into Wei's eyes and took a step back, but a confident smile still lingered on his face.
"Our goal is very simple; we are the Abundance Faction, the Abundance Faction! We have been silent for too long, and only you can truly lead us out of our predicament. Now, the Abundance Faction has infiltrated all parts of Yaoging; as long as you cooperate from within and without, overthrowing Yaoging will be within reach! The so-called difficulty of shaking Yaoging is merely because it hasn't encountered a stronger opponent!"
"I'm not interested in such things. Right now, I am just a doctor, nothing more."
"No, Honored One, you don't have a choice in this. What you don't know is that a prophet has recently appeared among the Abundance Faction. According to him, the Honored One, Zhong Gu, is not dead and is currently on the Yaoqing Xianzhou. It is precisely because of this that the Abundance Faction dared to come to Yaoging. Also, if I die, your identity will naturally be exposed, Honored One. You know my nature; I may seem reckless, but if that were truly the case, I wouldn't have survived until now."
Lei Huan looked at Wei, clearly, he was forcing his hand.
As long as Wei's identity was exposed, the Yaoqing Xianzhou would definitely not let him go, even if he had stayed in Yaoging honestly for many years.
He had done nothing.
His very presence in Yaoging was the original sin.
Or rather, his existence was the eye of the storm!
"Since that's the case, there's only one choice..."
Wei shook his head. The next moment, his figure suddenly erupted, charging towards the large man.
The other party hadn't expected Wei to suddenly attack and was caught off guard, allowing Wei to get close.
The next moment, Wei straightened his palm into a blade and struck directly at Lei Huan's chest!
The veins on his arm bulged, and a massive amount of blood qi gathered in his hand. The sharp hand-blade pierced through the opponent's chest with a single strike. In an instant, the large man's life force was continuously absorbed by Wei.
"Why?"
There was some confusion in Lei Huan's eyes.
"You seem to have misunderstood your place. Who gave you the illusion that you could speak to me like that?"
He let the large man struggle. The man pulled out a dagger from his waist and repeatedly stabbed Wei's chest and arm, but Wei acted as if nothing had happened.
It wasn't until a moment later that Lei Huan completely lost his breath.
Dragging his corpse, Wei threw him directly into the flower garden in the backyard. The next moment, the soil churned, and roots writhed.
These flowers and plants seemed to come alive, with tentacles surging out of the ground, dragging the opponent's body completely underground.
As the flower leaves rustled, they conveyed a sense of disdain.
As if saying: Not tasty.
"Oh my, how scary! My dear, after so many years of not seeing you, I finally found you, only to witness you committing such an act. Did I come at a bad time?"
A sweet voice appeared behind him. Wei turned around and saw a twin-tailed girl in a goldfish-like dress smiling at him.
"You're everywhere, Sparkle..."
Looking at Sparkle behind him, Wei shook his head and sighed. This Aha had arrived, which meant the fun in Yaoging this time was quite significant; otherwise, she wouldn't have been attracted.
