CHAPTER 1101: CHAPTER 1101: XIAO YUFEI’S TROUBLE

After returning to the Sky Net Base, Xiao Zheng instructed Long Qie and the others to keep a low profile for the time being and focus on strengthening their own abilities.

He said, "There is a strong possibility that Medicine King Valley will swallow the loss quietly, but there’s also a chance they might retaliate fiercely."

"So, during this period, make the best use of your time to strengthen yourselves and aim to be even stronger when dealing with the upcoming storm."

"Understood." Long Qie, Titan, Ten Killings, and the others all nodded with serious expressions.

...

The following days turned quite peaceful, with Xiao Zheng staying mostly at Yunlan Villa, studying the cultivation techniques from Medicine King Valley.

Even for him, these techniques provided great inspiration, bringing him significant benefits and enhancing his strength further.

The usage of Gang Qi described in these techniques reached an incredibly profound level, prompting Xiao Zheng to applaud in admiration.

"In the vast history of martial arts, there truly have been countless outstanding figures. These sacred grounds of martial arts have their reasons for becoming such revered places."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes were bright.

He gained a lot of inspiration.

In the days that followed, he became more immersed in the cultivation of these techniques, almost to the point of obsession.

...

One morning.

The small forest beside Yunlan Villa was shrouded in a thin layer of mist. Sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, giving the mist a hazy golden hue, making it exceptionally dazzling.

Xiao Zheng stood in the middle of this forest, eyes closed, breathing deeply with rolling white air inhaled and exhaled from his mouth and nose.

He was practicing.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Xiao Zheng abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing through them, like a peerless divine sword unsheathed, incomparably sharp.

Sizzle!

He raised his finger, pointing at a large tree ahead. Instantly, a golden Gang Qi shot out, embedding in the trunk.

The next moment, a shocking change occurred as the Gang Qi within the trunk burst into an unparalleled fierce aura, like thousands of divine swords.

Clang!

Even the sound of a sharp sword unsheathing echoed in the void. The tree exploded in an instant, with countless sword Qi shooting out in all directions like flying feathers.

They resembled feathers, but at this moment, they were sharp and swift, exuding an incomparably fierce aura like countless sharp swords.

Thunk thunk thunk!

They embedded in other trees, effortlessly slicing them apart, causing them to topple and crash to the ground.

"The Flying Feather Sword Qi is indeed extraordinary, very powerful in attack." A trace of satisfaction appeared in Xiao Zheng’s eyes. Such an easy slicing of the trees – imagine if that were a human body.

Ring ring ring...

Suddenly, a phone started ringing, causing Xiao Zheng to frown. He was in the middle of martial arts training; who was disturbing him?

Looking at the phone, he saw the caller ID was Xiao Yufei, the beautiful policewoman with quite an impressive front.

"What’s this girl looking for me for?" Xiao Zheng felt a bit tempted, but since he had a good relationship with the pretty policewoman, he decided to answer the call.

"Brother Xiao, you have to help me this time."

As soon as Xiao Zheng pressed the answer button, he heard the somewhat anxious voice of Xiao Yufei through the phone.

"Hmm, have you encountered some trouble?" Xiao Zheng’s expression changed slightly. Xiao Yufei was a policewoman and often encountered some inexplicable forces, things that the police couldn’t solve at all.

"Trouble, big trouble!" Xiao Yufei hurriedly said, "That Fan Mingzhe is back again, and he’s got on good terms with my parents and wants to date me!"

Xiao Zheng’s face instantly turned dark. This was indeed quite a big problem.

"Not interested." He directly hung up the call. Right now, he was still engrossed in researching and comprehending the martial arts of Medicine King Valley; where would he find time to deal with trivial romantic matters?

"Hung up?" On the other side, Xiao Yufei stared at her phone in a daze, then grew furious, her chest heaving with anger.

"This awful guy!"

Then, undeterred, she called Xiao Zheng’s phone again.

No answer.

"Hmph, I’ll call again." Xiao Yufei was persistent and naturally wouldn’t give up easily, continuing to bombard him with calls.

In the small forest, Xiao Zheng sighed and finally answered the phone, saying impatiently, "What are you doing? Such a small issue, can’t you solve it yourself?"

Unexpectedly, no sound came from the other end, and after a while, the sound of Xiao Yufei sobbing came through, and she cried:

"What do you want me to do? I can’t go against my parents’ wishes. As a girl, if I go too far, how will I face people in the future?"

Xiao Zheng immediately had a headache.

Women truly are troublesome.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He really hadn’t expected the usually competent and straightforward beautiful policewoman to use this tactic.

But judging by her tone, there was indeed some grievance, suggesting that her parents had given her a lot of pressure regarding marriage.

"Alright, alright, what do you want me to do? I’ll agree to it." Finally, Xiao Zheng said helplessly.

"I have a dinner appointment with Fan Mingzhe; just come and pretend to be my boyfriend." Xiao Yufei immediately became happy.

Xiao Zheng rubbed his nose, somewhat suspecting Xiao Yufei was acting, but since he had already agreed, he wouldn’t go back on his word.

"Location, time." He then asked.

Xiao Yufei immediately sent him the information.

Xiao Zheng finished his training, walked to the garage of Yunlan Villa, and contemplated for a moment which of the dozen luxury cars to drive out.

These cars naturally belonged to Leng Ruobing, but Xiao Zheng had the keys and could use them freely. Both he and Leng Ruobing were the type not short on money, so they wouldn’t care about such distinctions.

Ultimately, Xiao Zheng chose a more imposing top-end Maybach and drove out. Normally, such a car required a chauffeur, but Xiao Zheng naturally wouldn’t bother with such details.

He drove briskly and soon arrived at the location specified by Xiao Yufei, though there wasn’t much parking around. After circling for a while, he parked in a slightly secluded spot and walked to the hotel.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Yufei waved him over from a corner.

Xiao Zheng looked over, seeing Xiao Yufei sitting across from Fan Mingzhe at a table by the window.

When Fan Mingzhe saw Xiao Zheng approach, his face turned somewhat sullen, looking rather displeased.

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and walked over, saying, "Brother Fan, long time no see, your demeanor is as impressive as ever."
