While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 98 Heavenly Longevity, Prolonging Life

Yue Feng and Master Sun descended from the mass grave and strolled through the mountains. Neither Yue Feng nor Master Sun spoke. After a long while, Yue Feng finally said, "Perhaps you already know who I am?"

Master Sun said, "I heard that the Xie family has a new retainer named Feng Manlou. He is very young, but his martial arts skills are astonishing. I presume that he is you, young hero?"

Yue Feng nodded: "Since you know my identity, you must also know why I'm here."

Master Sun was silent for a moment before saying, "Although I am the head of Anji Ward, I don't know much about Shuiyue Manor. Take Anji Ward for example, it's the same as other Anji Wards, mainly taking care of the elderly, but..."

Yue Feng remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"But... every month, Shuiyue Manor sends people to bring the elderly people in the neighborhood who are nearing the end of their lives to the mountain. Within a few days, these elderly people are sent back, and they have all... passed away."

Yue Feng asked, "Did you handle all the disposal of the old man's body?"

Master Sun knew exactly what Yue Feng wanted to ask, so he said, "Yes. I also secretly examined the corpses of those old people. On the surface, there was nothing unusual, but their muscles and bones had become as if they had been dead for a long time. Apart from that, I couldn't see anything else."

Yue Feng raised an eyebrow: "Poisoning? Or some kind of evil technique?"

Master Sun shook his head and said, "Shuiyue Manor is not good at using poison, and what they teach is the orthodox martial arts of the Tianjian Sect."

Yue Feng hummed in agreement and remained silent. Suddenly, Master Sun asked, "Young Master Feng, what are your plans for dealing with me?"

Yue Feng glanced at him indifferently: "What do you think?"

Master Sun said, "I, Sun Jingyi, am an accomplice to evil, and my death is not a pity. With Young Hero Feng's abilities, it would not be difficult for him to wipe out all the Anji Fang in Shuiyue Manor. However, there are still hundreds of homeless elderly people in Anji Fang who urgently need our care."

"If Young Master Feng only seeks momentary pleasure, then what should be done with these hundreds of elderly people? Should they be handed over to the Xie family? Or to the government? The Six Doors? Although Young Master Feng has not been in Huazhou for long, he must already have some understanding of the situation here."

Yue Feng asked, "According to you, what should we do?"

Sun Jingyi had been pondering this question the whole way, and when Yue Feng asked him about it, he replied without hesitation, "As long as Young Hero Feng finds a way to properly settle those elderly people, I, Sun, will do whatever I want without batting an eye. But before that, please wait a moment, Young Hero Feng."

Yue Feng said, "While I'm waiting, you'll still send the old man to Shuiyue Mountain, won't you?"

Sun Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded: "I have no choice but to send them. Otherwise, Shuiyue Manor will send someone to kill me, and the old folks' situation will only get worse."

When was the last time you gave someone a ride?

Tomorrow night.

"Okay, tomorrow night, you'll blend me in with the old people and take me up the mountain."

Sun Jingyi couldn't help but say, "Young Master Feng, Shuiyue Manor is full of experts, you..."

Yue Feng coldly interrupted him: "Shut up, I don't need someone like you to remind me. Just do what you're supposed to do, and the rest is up to you."

"Yes."

Sun Jingyi responded and lowered his head.

When Yue Feng inquired about the old man's disappearance, Sun Jingyi told him that each Anji Fang (a type of sanctuary) had its own unique approach. The "Tianshou Fang," which he was in charge of, would simply search for homeless elderly people and bring them back to the Fang; the other Anji Fang might not do the same.

Yue Feng then asked Sun Jingyi if the other Anji Fang families had any recent kidnapping plans. Sun Jingyi was unaware of this, but offered to inquire on Yue Feng's behalf.

Yue Feng ordered Sun Jingyi to take him to Tianshoufang. The situation inside the ward was similar to what Sun Jingyi had described. Although the old man's living conditions were not very good, he was receiving the care he deserved.

The two walked around for a while, and it was already dawn. Sun Jingyi asked Yue Feng to disguise himself slightly, to be one of his servants, and to accompany him to "Yannianfang," the closest ward to Tianshoufang.

The head of Yannianfang was a man in his fifties surnamed Min. Yannianfang was the largest of the Anjifang under Shuiyue Manor, and Head Min held the highest prestige among the headmen. Upon meeting, Sun Jingyi greeted them warmly.

"Oh my, Brother Min, it's been so long! You look younger and younger!"

Master Min glanced at Yue Feng indifferently, and said with a forced smile, "Master Sun, what brings you here? I was just about to send someone to invite you!"

Sun Jingyi was quite surprised: "Oh? What can I do for you, Brother Min?"

Master Min said, "Follow me." He led Sun Jingyi into a large hall. Five or six people were already seated inside. Sun Jingyi looked up as he entered, surprised, "Huh? Masters, what brings you all here?"

One of the workshop owners clicked his tongue and said to Worker Min, "Old Min, why did you bring him here? He's a spineless coward; he'll definitely refuse to participate in our affairs. And when we get credit, we'll have to give him a share anyway. What's the point?"

Others chimed in, agreeing with him. Clearly, Sun Jingyi wasn't very popular here.

Master Min snorted coldly, "Shut up, all of you. This matter is too big. If we can get one more person to help us, our chances of winning will increase by one percent. Little Sun, find a seat first."

Sun Jingyi sat down as instructed. Yue Feng stood behind him, concealing his aura and appearing no different from an ordinary person. The other shop owners in the hall were also accompanied by their entourages, so none of them gave Yue Feng a second glance.

Master Min said, "The Xie family suffered quite a few losses at the hands of Shuiyue Manor recently. They finally had a period of peace, but now they're causing trouble again. I heard they've hired a new retainer named Feng Manlou, who's helping that good-for-nothing Xie Shengjie investigate us."

One of the village heads shifted uncomfortably and interjected, "Does the village want us to deal with this guy surnamed Feng?"

Min Fangzhu glared at him: "No, what are you thinking? I heard that the martial arts of that guy surnamed Feng have reached a superb level. If we go to deal with him, we won't even be a match for him. What we need to deal with is his lover, the new Commander Wu from the Six Doors."

Before Master Min could finish speaking, a series of screams suddenly erupted from outside. The screams were not from the same person, but they were continuous and almost uninterrupted.

All the brothel owners jumped to their feet, about to order someone to go out and investigate, when several severed heads rolled in through the hall entrance. Wu Shuangxue, knife in hand and covered in blood, strode in proudly. Behind her, several brothel members stood at a distance, but dared not take another step forward.

Master Min's expression turned grave as he frowned and asked, "Who are you? To barge into Anji Ward in broad daylight and wreak havoc—aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Wu Shuangxue gently stroked the blade, gave a cold smile, and suddenly lunged forward.
