Chu Feng listened to Huang Jianye’s words and said with a pained expression, "Elder Huang, you’re really wronging here. I ca to give a gift in good faith, and I even helped you, yet you don’t offer a drink. On top of that, you scold and beat ."
Huang Jianye laughed heartily, "You, kid, without a cutting down, you’d have reached the heavens."
Chu Feng, looking at the laughing Huang Jianye, offered a direct complint, "Elder Huang, I truly admire you for this. Even with their little maneuvers, you remain firmly in control of the Central Army Tent."
Huang Jianye, gazing at Chu Feng, said somberly, "Stop flattering . They ca looking for you, not daring to do anything to ."
Chu Feng scratched his head and said, "Elder Huang, look, I truly ca here to serve the country. You didn’t even look at the gift I brought and pushed outside; do you really think that’s okay?"
Huang Jianye took a sip of tea and said, "I can’t let your sugar-coated bullets corrupt ."
Chu Feng said, "Elder Huang, today you must be corrupted by ."
After saying this, Chu Feng told Huang Jianye about his Holy Stele.
After Huang Jianye retired, he no longer cared about anything. Thus, he was not very familiar with the matter of the Holy Stele.
But when Chu Feng finished telling him, even soone with his composure and cultivation showed a change in expression.
"Is what you said true?" Huang Jianye asked seriously.
Chu Feng patted his chest in assurance, "Li Zhi and his group of experts have verified it; it’s one hundred percent genuine. I was here to deliver it to Dragon Soul, but I didn’t expect Dragon Soul to have internal issues."
Huang Jianye was aware of the internal problems in Dragon Soul, but he had not intervened.
"Hmph! These people, for their own selfish desires, actually disregard the developnt of the nation; they truly deserve death!" Huang Jianye slamd his teacup on the table, angrily.
If it were so political conflicts, Huang Jianye would not intervene. But if it involved the nation’s security and developnt, he would not stand by idly.
Chu Feng said, "Elder Huang, you have to accept this gift and keep it safe for . I don’t feel secure leaving this item anywhere else; here with you, I feel secure. They wouldn’t dare co here to steal it."
Huang Jianye nodded and said, "Leave this item here with ; no one will dare to touch it. What else do you need from ? Dragon Soul really needs to be managed properly. We can’t wait until it’s beyond saving anymore."
Chu Feng shook his head and said, "Elder Huang, let us handle the rest ourselves. Internal issues of the people should still be resolved internally. If you intervene, I’m worried they will beco desperate. I don’t care about what happens to Dragon Soul, but I care about my friends’ lives."
Huang Jianye said, "He talked to about making you into Divine Dragon, but it seems you still need so polishing."
Knowing what Huang Jianye ant, Chu Feng chuckled, "Elder Huang, let’s talk about the Divine Dragon matter another ti. I’m concerned I might not turn out to be much of a hero, and I would disappoint you again."
Huang Jianye shook his head and said, "A hero doesn’t necessarily have to act for everyone to be called ’hero’. Acting for family, friends, or a loved one, equally deserves the title ’hero’."
Chu Feng said, "Elder Huang, don’t feed enchanting tales; I don’t want to be constantly on people’s minds. Let have peace for a few years. I can take care of myself and the people around ; then we can talk about other matters."
Huang Jianye smiled and said, "You sly thing, you really are shrewd."
Huang Jianye paused for a mont and said, "If needed, you can have Old Sun help you."
Chu Feng glanced at Elder Sun, sitting under a tree as if he had never moved, and said, "No need; Senior Sun should better protect Elder Huang and the Holy Stele. I can handle the rest myself."
Huang Jianye nodded and said, "Be careful yourself, regardless of how big the impact might be. Without the courage to amputate, Dragon Soul can never truly recover its original state."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "With your words, that’s enough for ; I’ll be going now."
Chu Feng rose and was about to leave when he saw that major general walk in from outside.
"Xiao Zhang, give him your command," Huang Jianye said to the major general.
The major general hesitated for a mont but still did as Elder Huang instructed.
"This command can mobilize the three garrisons guarding Yanjing. Don’t use them unless absolutely necessary," the major general said sternly.
Chu Feng fully understood the gravity of using the forces, as mobilizing the garrison could truly have a massive impact, potentially even causing a tremor through all of Huaxia.
Chu Feng nodded seriously and said, "I will try my best not to use it."
Huang Jianye nodded and said, "Go on then."
Having exited Huang Jianye’s place, Chu Feng could finally move more freely. Not having to worry about the Holy Stele, Chu Feng could exercise so of his skills.
However, it was just a slight freedom; to rescue Huang Lan, there was still much to be done.
Chu Feng could not directly assault Dragon Soul; if he did, not only would he fail to rescue Huang Lan, but Chu Feng himself would also end up in trouble.
After all, everything was currently being done according to rules and procedures. There wasn’t a single illegal thing, but if Chu Feng charged in directly, that would be illegal, and getting caught by others would not just be trouble for Chu Feng alone.
Everyone related to Chu Feng would end up in trouble along with him, and it would be a deep, rooting out type of trouble.
Thus, Chu Feng had to restrain himself; he must unravel the intrigue and find their weaknesses. Even if he had to charge in forcefully, he would still need inside help.
Of course, the most crucial thing was that Chu Feng had to wait for the General Captain of Dragon Soul. Even if it ant breaking the rules, having such a high-ranking officer involved would minimize the backlash compared to doing it himself.
Moreover, who knew if such a high-ranking officer had sothing like the Death Exemption Token of the Shangguan Family?
Chu Feng planned to drive back to the hotel, but his phone rang first.
Seeing the number light up on the phone, Chu Feng’s brows furrowed.
However, after hesitating for a mont, Chu Feng still answered the call.
"Senior," Chu Feng respectfully called out.
On the other side of the phone, an elderly voice said, "Jixiang Tea House, I’m waiting for you on the second floor."
After hanging up, Chu Feng didn’t hesitate and navigated directly to Jixiang Tea House.
But on the way, Chu Feng still made a call to Official Huang to have him be careful at the hotel.
Chu Feng didn’t know why the Tributor, who had once saved him, was contacting him proactively without Chu Feng reaching out first. He didn’t know whether this was good or bad.
