TFHS: Chapter 139

Young geniuses were often abolished, but it was rare to see an abolished genius rise again.

Look at Wu Yingyan of the Wu family. He wasn’t cured after his dantian was destroyed. He also blackened, and his personality became morbid and dark.

Commander Yang and Kong Zhao looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other’s eyes. They couldn’t wait to meet Bai Qiaomo.

It was common for cultivators to be in danger when training outside. It wasn’t uncommon for them to be seriously injured to the point where their dantian was destroyed. This situation was even more common in the Iron Armor Army and Silver Armor Army.

But was the dantian so easy to repair? They also had colleagues and friends who had become disabled due to the destruction of their dantian and had to live decadently. How could the two of them not feel good after knowing this?

Then their joy soon faded away. Maybe Bai Qiaomo had obtained some sort of heavenly treasure to repair it.

However, such a heavenly treasure could only be encountered and not sought. If this was the case, there wasn’t much meaning in meeting Bai Qiaomo.

Kong Zhao calmed down. “No matter what, we still need to find a chance to talk to Bai Qiaomo. By the way, that ger called Feng Ming is a disciple of Yu Xiao, a fifth-grade alchemist of Sihong Academy. He should be a third-grade alchemist at present and is infinitely close to fourth-grade.”

“This is also a genius, a genius in alchemy.” Command Yang said, “No wonder why the other forces in Chiri City didn’t succeed in poaching the third-grade alchemist of the Wind Eagle mercenary group. I also would’ve found it impossible to leave.”

Kong Zhao touched his chin. “The incident in the Wu family is a bit strange, and the destruction of Wu Yingyan’s dantian is also very strange, but everything seemed like an accident. Now that I see this Bai Qiaomo, I can’t help wondering if it has anything to do with him.”

“What do you mean? Even if Bai Qiaomo destroyed that guy’s dantian, it is reasonable. He retaliated for his own sake. He actually ruined someone else’s future for a woman,” Commander Yang said disdainfully.

Kong Zhao told the reason behind the collapse of the Wu family. Due to someone providing the location of the Wu family’s mineral vein, someone went to investigate and this triggered what happened next.

However, no one could trace who sent the letter.

If it was really related to Bai Qiaomo then Bai Qiaomo was too deeply hidden. He actually found out information that the Silver Armor Army hadn’t been able to find out.

However, he only had suspicions. There was no definite evidence that there was a connection.

Commander Yang said, “You are being too cautious. You have investigated too many cases, and now you are suspicious of everyone. Since you now know the details of Bai Qiaomo, do you still want to recruit him into the Silver Armor Army?”

Kong Zhao hesitated. “Let’s talk about the repair of the dantian first.”

“It is up to you.”

Then the two of them talked about business. What Kong Zhao wanted to do this time required the cooperation of the armored army led by Commander Yang.

The two of them had collaborated many times before, so Kong Zhao came over directly this time.

Feng Ming was very worried and pretended that he had never seen or recognized the silver armored guard. Who would’ve thought that he and Bai Qiaomo would ‘encounter’ him by chance in another restaurant the next day?

To say they met by chance was to tell a lie. They just bumped into each other yesterday, and it happened again today. It was obvious that this person came specifically for them.

“Your Excellency is of high status. Why do you want to see the two of us?” Feng Ming didn’t go around in circles with the other person and got straight to the point.

Kong Zhao was curious. “Status? Young Master Feng Ming, how do you know this?”

Feng Ming wanted to roll his eyes. “Your friend yesterday was Commander Yang of the Iron Armor Army. Those who can walk with Commander are either his friends or colleagues. Isn’t your status too precious for a small mercenary group like ours?”

Kong Zhao smiled. “How can the Wind Eagle mercenary group be called small? Not only are Young Master Feng and Young Master Bai here, but the mercenary group has a bright future. To be honest, I did come here specifically to ask about Young Master Bai’s health.”

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo looked at each other. It turned out that he was coming for Bai Qiaomo.

Bai Qiaomo asked, “Senior Kong, do you know about my past?”

Kong Zhao nodded. Talking to smart people did save effort. “Yes, due to a care before, I learned that Young Master Bai had his dantian destroyed. At that time, I felt very sorry.”

Of course, this was a lie. He had seen too many things and didn’t think much of this one.

“I didn’t expect to see Young Master here in Chiri City. Young Master Bai’s current situation…”

He deliberately looked at Bai Qiaomo for a while. “You are already in the late stage of the essence liquid realm. Presumably, it won’t take long for you to reach the essence dan realm. It is really terrifying. After Young Master Bai’s dantian was repaired, your promotion speed is too fast. I think the Kunyuan Sect and Bai family will regret their actions very much when they learn about this situation.”

Feng Ming’s eyes showed disdain. What did it have to do with him and Brother Bai if they regretted it later?

Bai Qiaomo turned the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, “Senior Kong wants to know how I repaired my dantian?”

“Yes, if you can tell me.”

Feng Ming rolled his eyes but didn’t speak.

Bai Qiaomo chuckled. “In fact, you have found the wrong person. I have already given the method of repairing the dantian to Dean Pei of Sihong Academy. You can go and discuss it with Dean Pei.”

Kong Zhao secretly thought that this boy was too shrewd and cunning while the ger beside him acted like a fox. He pretended that he didn’t see the ger enjoying himself.

But Kong Zhao wasn’t disappointed. On the contrary, he was a bit happy.

Did this mean the method of repairing the dantian could be copied, and the cost wasn’t too high?

He didn’t want to repair the dantian for free or at a small price. He knew this was too unrealistic and impossible.

Kong Zhao changed the topic. “Young Master Bai, are you interested in working for the imperial court?”

Kong ZHao didn’t know that his identity had already been revealed by Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. He didn’t use his official identity at this time, but he didn’t deny he was working for the imperial court since he was with Commander Yang.

Bai Qiaomo smiled slightly before firmly refusing. “Sorry, Senior Kong. I am still a student of Sihong Academy, and I can’t stand restraints. I have to let Senior Kong down.”

Kong Zhao was a bit disappointed but didn’t try to persuade him again. “Well, if you change your mind, you can come to me or ask Commander Yang to send me a message.”

“Okay.”

After Kong Zhao left, Feng Ming only whispered, “This guy…”

He didn’t say anything else after this. Once he returned, he told his father about the matter and added the following content, “That guy just wants to get something for nothing. He just wants to take the method of repairing the dantian and pull Brother Bai into the Silver Armor Army.”

Feng Jinlin laughed when he heard this. “It isn’t surprising. It is normal to see a good seedling and want to win them over. You guys dealt with it quite well.”

If Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo dealt with the Silver Armor Army representing the imperial court alone, they would be in a very weak position. What benefits could they get from the imperial court?

But Sihong Academy was different. Dean Pei could open his mouth to ask for a lot from the imperial court and win a lot of benefits for Sihong Academy.

It was impossible for Dean Pei to forget his young disciple when getting benefits. It might take a detour, but Bai Qiaomo would get a lot more.

Feng Ming wrinkled his nose. “Who told that guy to treat us as children and bully us?”

Feng Jinlin smiled and touched Feng Ming’s head.

On the other side, Commander Yang was also very happy with the results obtained by Kong Zhao.

If it wasn’t for Kong Zhao being on a mission and not being able to leave his post without permission, he would’ve immediately gone to Sihong Academy to ask what price he would have to pay to obtain the repair method.

“This kid really makes people’s hearts itch. Why didn’t he just say it outright? Why does he have to go around in a circle?”

Kong Zhao smiled. “This is his shrewdness. If there aren’t enough benefits, why would the kid tell us?”

Commander Yang replied, “This… can’t you offer him conditions?”

Kong Zhao shook his head. “No matter how high the conditions I set, the other party wouldn’t agree. Don’t be impatient. In any case, Sihong Academy won’t disappear.’

It could be seen that Bai Qiaomo was a very determined person.

It was a pity that the other person had no intention of doing anything for the imperial court and Kong Zhao couldn’t reveal his identity as a silver armored guard. Compared to the Iron Armor Army, the silver armored guards had greater freedom.

But for a genius like Bai Qiaomo, perhaps even the Silver Armor Army might not interest him.

A few days later, Feng Jinlin called Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo over.

After Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo arrived, they saw Feng Jinlin standing in front of the wall with a map, studying the map.

“Dad, are there any clues about the investigation? You didn’t alert the other party did you?”

Feng Jinlin turned around and waved to the two of them. “How can I not be careful when doing things, especially when it involves the Silver Armor Army. Don’t worry, I’m just inquiring about information from the periphery. According to the summary of various news, I deduced some possibilities. Come and listen.”

“Okay.” Feng Ming ran over immediately.

Bai Qiaomo also followed and stood beside Feng Jinlin, listening respectfully. He didn’t underestimate his father-in-law’s abilities at all.

Feng Jinlin pointed to the map and said, “Look at this sea area. This sea area is very wide and separates the Dongmu Dynasty and the Shengyuan Sect. This sea area is an unregulated area, so pirates emerge one after another. It is fine in Chiri City because the armored troops are stationed nearby. Unless a large number of pirates land, these scattered pirates won’t dare to attack Chiri City.”

Feng Ming vaguely guessed something. “There is something abnormal in this sea area?”

Feng Jinlin nodded. “That is a good guess. I have dealt with some of these pirates before. The Wind Eagle mercenary group follows this trade route and sometimes makes shady deals with some of these pirates. In fact, the Iron Armor Army has done such things as well. After all, the resources in the sea area are quite rich. The Iron Armor Army will struggle if it just relies on the resources provided by the imperial court.”

Feng Ming understood. “They want to generate their own income.”

Bai Qiaomo smiled when he heard this, and Feng Jinlin laughed directly. “Yes, they want to generate income on their own. As long as our mercenary group doesn’t kill people, the Iron Armor Army won’t restrain us. After all, they also need to use our mercenary group to do some things.”

“To get back to the topic, I got a message from the pirates in the past few days. Recently, there are more people in the sea. These pirate forces are shrinking their manpower and moving to this sea area.” Feng Jinlin pointed to another location on the map. “This reminds me of a legend I once heard. It is said that a dragon once appeared in this sea area.”

Feng Ming gasped and Bai Qiaomo was also surprised.
