Hearing Zhu Fei’s question, Mr. Qiu first was stunned, then imdiately smiled and nodded as he said,
"Indeed, in the end, I still need to demand an explanation from them, even if they are an ancient martial family with a Power Realm Martial Artist. I, an old man, must insist on it."
"But..."
At this point, Mr. Qiu ultimately let out a slight sigh.
"However, I, as an old man, can now only do so much. After all, traditionally, Martial Cultivators are not bound by the secular ’laws’."
"Or rather, the power of Martial Cultivators has already transcended the boundaries that secular ’laws’ can regulate, not to ntion the Lv family. They also have their own foundations in the ’official’ circle."
"When the ti cos, if I insist on not letting go of this matter, not only will it not bring any benefits, but it will also cause both sides to completely fall out, and in the end, we might be the ones to suffer."
"However, young friend Zhu Fei, you don’t need to worry, by then Old Man Song should arrange for you to enter that special departnt. I believe with the three of us old fellows protecting you, even the Lv family wouldn’t dare to openly trouble you."
"Oh."
Zhu Fei nodded, and in his heart, actually sowhat disagreed with Mr. Qiu’s words.
Since the secular ’laws’ cannot truly restrain Martial Artists, then if the Lv family really wanted to trouble him, they could completely do it from the shadows.
However, Zhu Fei did not explicitly ntion this. A re ancient martial family was not worth his serious consideration.
Just wait until his cultivation broke through to the Qi Refining Middle Stage, that is, the so-called Qi Refining Fifth Level, then he would possess Divine Sense.
And once he had Divine Sense, whether it was Artifact Refining or setting up Arrays, he could begin to try.
By then once he could set up a basic Array, even if a Power Realm Martial Artist ca, they would certainly not gain any advantage.
...
In the following ti, Zhu Fei did not continue discussing the matter concerning the Lv family with Mr. Qiu; instead, he briefly explained Mr. Qiu’s current health condition to him.
Afterward, Zhu Fei stood up, and said again to Mr. Qiu, "Elder Qiu, your body’s condition is roughly like this now."
"Here’s what we’ll do, find soone trustworthy and co back with to Lan City now, bring half of the Red Blood Ginseng. As for how to use the Red Blood Ginseng to condition your body, I’ve already told Old Song, and I believe with his help, your body should not have any more problems by then."
"Oh."
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Mr. Qiu was montarily startled, then he spoke, "Young friend Zhu Fei, are you leaving now? Why not stay a few more days here? I could have Ruoxue accompany you around."
"There really is no need to rush about that Red Blood Ginseng matter."
"Hehe, Elder Qiu, it’s not that I don’t want to stay longer, but I still have to go to school. Maybe next ti, when I have a holiday, I’ll co and chat with you for a few days," Zhu Fei said with a light smile.
Indeed, he really did want to leave now.
Even though he had a very good impression of the three elders present, there were mainly two reasons for his stay: firstly, there really was nothing else for him, and secondly, he had already received a ssage from Pan Tingting.
She said the guy she disliked might arrive in Lan City by tomorrow and urged Zhu Fei to return as soon as possible.
Zhu Fei considered himself a man of his word. Since he had accepted sothing from soone else, he naturally had to fulfill the promises he had made.
He did not want to be accused of standing soone up when he returned.
Seeing Zhu Fei’s determination to leave, Mr. Qiu, including Song Yan and Mr. ng, didn’t insist any further.
Song Yan even directly said to Zhu Fei, "Young friend, in a few days, I will personally handle the matter of you joining our special departnt. Don’t rush to refuse, once you have it, it will be beneficial both for you and those around you."
"Moreover, once you have the identity of our special departnt, it also ans that you have certain privileges hereafter in our Huaxia land. Even if you kill soone in the street, the relevant departnts will not trouble you."
"The most important thing is," he said, "the special departnt identity I arranged for you doesn’t require you to report in, nor does it restrict you in any way. When we need your dical skills, all you have to do is help out casually."
"Of course," he continued, "this won’t happen very often, and it certainly won’t interfere with your usual studies and life."
After finishing his speech in one breath, Song Yan then looked toward Zhu Fei, waiting for his own decision.
Zhu Fei thought carefully, he didn’t imdiately reply but instead asked, "Old Song, the reason you applied for this special departnt identity for , could it perhaps be because of my dical skills?"
Indeed, he had to clarify this matter.
He didn’t want to expose his abilities carelessly, but if the reason Song Yan had applied was indeed his dical skills, and if he could truly fulfill all he had promised, then why not join the special departnt?
After all, his dical skills were rely the tip of the iceberg of his capabilities.
"Yes, that’s right, it’s your dical skills. Although with your current strength, you can also join our special departnt, I think it’s better to focus on your dical skills, which might be more beneficial for you."
Song Yan nodded, earnestly responding to Zhu Fei, "Also, I can assure you that aside from a few of us, no one else will ever know your information, including your past identity."
"My past identity?"
Hearing Song Yan’s words, Zhu Fei was suddenly startled.
He then rembered that his past identity was none other than the illegitimate son of the Family Head of the top-tier Zhu family.
It seed that these old tirs like Song Yan had even dug up his past identity.
As if reading Zhu Fei’s thoughts, Old Mr. ng at his side suddenly smiled slightly and said:
"Zhu Fei, my young friend, at this point, there are so things that we old fellows will not hide from you."
"Indeed, we did investigate your identity initially, as you have been gracious to us, and we had thought about secretly watching over your family."
"However...heh, rest assured, from now on, we will try to change your identity, and except for the few of us present here, no one will know, including the Zhu family."
"Whew...thank you."
Zhu Fei suddenly let out a long sigh.
He knew, now these elders like Old Mr. ng had no intention of harming him, but rather, they were considering his well-being and wanted to help him change his identity.
And this was exactly what he was very willing to accept.
After all, he had no sense of belonging to the Zhu family, and even less of any good feelings—instead, there was a faint hatred.
Because, it can be said that Liu Hui, the mother of this body’s original owner, was indirectly hard by the Zhu family.
Thus, now that these elders like Old Mr. ng were able to change his identity and give him a new life in this world, Zhu Fei indeed felt a trace of gratitude.
Besides, if he continued living under this identity, with his capabilities, perhaps soday, the Zhu family would notice.
And with the shaful deeds typical of the Zhu family, it was possible that they might force him to return to the family or cause so other troubles for him, or even plot to kill him.
Realizing this, Zhu Fei imdiately turned to the three elders and bowed with cupped fists: "In that case, I first thank the three of you here. If there’s nothing else at the mont, I will take my leave for now."
"Alright."
This ti, the three elders did not say much else but each nodded with a smile, indicating agreent.
"Wait, Zhu Fei, I’ll go with you now."
However, just as Zhu Fei was about to turn around and leave, Qiu Ruoxue, who had been silent up until now, suddenly stood up and spoke softly to Zhu Fei.
