Chapter 441 - 443: Feng San's Miraculous Skills
Upon seeing the lady, Feng Luochen's eyes lit up.
In his eyes, Feng San was a paragon of her time.
Observe Feng San's strides, calm and measured, as if calculated by a ruler, each step identical to the last.
Then, observe her demeanor, as she walked through the team of the Shannan Dynasty, not deigning to even spare a glance at them.
Just as the Shannan people were about to erupt, they saw a plump figure blocking their path.
"What's going on? Bullying the few with the many?"
Ouyang Chenchen shouted loudly.
She unapologetically released her Gang Qi.
"Princess Chenchen?"
General Lan and Ouyang Chenchen were old acquaintances.
"Are you General Lan Xi from Shannan?"
Ouyang Chenchen recognized him; servants from Drunken Immortal Inn had told her someone was causing trouble at the Chamber, and knowing she might not be clever enough to handle it, she went to find Feng Bailing.
"Is this Chamber related to you?"
General Lan had earlier heard from Master Song that the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce was a minor chamber, which was why he let Qi Shu take care of it, also to intimidate the competitors from Great Chu.
"I have a stake in this chamber, and not just me, Li Mubei from Nanshe, you know him, right? He also has a stake."
Ouyang Chenchen realized that everything required substantial backing; the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce was just too low-key, seemingly without support, hence it was being suppressed casually.
Hearing that Ouyang Chenchen and the future heir to the throne of Nanshe were both linked to the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, General Lan's face grew dark. Glancing accusingly at Master Song, Ouyang Chenchen was one thing, but Li Mubei, offending him was akin to offending Nanshe itself.
Fortunately, General Lan was experienced in handling intense situations, her eyes twinkled as she spoke solemnly.
"Princess Chenchen is also reasonable. One of my brothers painstakingly raised a group of Beast Servants, preparing them for the Competition Among Ten Countries. However, while passing through Great Chu, they were all killed. Those Beast Servants were all trained in Martial Arts, extremely hard to nurture. Moreover, your chamber staff have admitted that it was they who killed our Leopard Servant."
Ouyang Chenchen's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Beast Master's Beast Servants?
This was problematic.
Beast Masters were notoriously difficult to mess with, and Martial Arts-trained Beast Servants, even just one, would cost at least ten thousand silver taels.
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce had finally started making profits, would they need to take a major financial hit this time?
But Ouyang Chenchen remained calm, she never handled the thinking; wasn't Bai Ling there?
"Feng San, thankfully you've arrived. This fellow has smashed up the chamber! And he's injured Second Brother Zhang and Brother Yong."
Feng Luochen quickly reported the incident.
Dongfang Yong was somewhat annoyed, he didn't want Feng San to get involved initially. Feng San was good at underhanded tactics, but her strength... he had never seen her take action himself.
Besides, there was nothing on her brow.
Generally, both Wuji Masters and Wenhua experts might keep a low profile, not displaying either the Wenhua Seal or Wuji Seal.
But when employing Gang Qi or Wen Energy, the seal would surely appear.
"Are you the owner of this chamber?"
Qi Shu gave Feng Bailing a look, quite ordinary, bearing neither Wenhua Seal nor Wuji Seal; or else, was she a formidable Beast Master, with her Beast Servants hidden somewhere, ready to ambush him?
Qi Shu scanned the surroundings, reassured by the lack of any formidable beast's presence, and slightly relaxed, judging that the other party was merely bluffing.
As for the words of Princess Chenchen outside, he did not pay heed, just a princess, whereas he, Qi Shu, was a prestigious Beast Master.
"I dare not claim to be, I'm merely the errand runner."
Feng Bailing was modest.
"Merely a runner, and you dare to babble in front of me. If you don't want to die, immediately call your boss out."
Qi Shu waved his sleeve.
He was intentionally making things difficult, and with a flick of his sleeve, his Gang Qi surged forward, attacking Feng Bailing like a sharp blade.
Feng Bailing was also well-prepared.
She smiled, the seventh sense silent.
The Gang Qi attacking Feng Bailing suddenly shifted, attacking Qi Shu instead.
A ripping sound was heard, and Qi Shu's sleeve was cut off, surprisingly by his own Gang Qi.
That piece of sleeve was particularly striking as it slowly fell to the ground.
At this moment, people from the Shannan Dynasty all looked over, and their expressions changed upon witnessing this scene.
What martial technique was this?
A huge question mark arose in everyone's mind.
Unheard-of, unseen!
"Truly, if you were to meet our boss, I fear it would be you who ends up dead."
Feng Bailing smiled, a cold and eerie expression that gave chills to onlookers.
Cold sweat broke out on Qi Shu's forehead.
This fellow had not a trace of Gang Qi on him; how did she manage to use his Gang Qi to slice his sleeve?
Beside them, Dongfang Yong and Feng Luochen were also stunned.
Especially Feng Luochen, his gaze towards Feng Bailing was almost infatuated.
"I must have been careless. Just now I only used fifty percent of my strength."
Qi Shu consoled himself.
His internal Gang Qi rapidly gathered; this time, he wanted to use all of it. As he trembled his arm, he was about to make another move.
"If I were you, I would never trouble the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce."
Unexpectedly, Feng Bailing stepped forward, her fingertips touching a specific acupoint on Qi Shu's shoulder, infusing Yang Qi mixed with Dragon Suppressing Needle into his body.
Qi Shu felt his surging Gang Qi inside him freeze suddenly, solidified like water.
Qi Shu was completely dumbfounded.
His Gang Qi!
Gone!
His knees trembled, and he nearly collapsed.
Who exactly was this person?
She subdued him without a single punch or palm strike.
Even a mere runner was so formidable!
Those bosses of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce... Qi Shu dared not continue that thought.
"Miss, if my student has done anything wrong, please forgive him. However, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce must give us an explanation, otherwise, neither the Shannan Dynasty nor Qi Shu's brother will let this matter rest."
Just as Qi Shu was deeply regretting and unsure of what to do, a dignified yet gentle voice was heard.
The middle-aged man named Master Song had walked in.
His voice carried an air of undeniable authority, causing Feng Bailing to feel an inexplicable agitation. The next moment, she realized, a Wenhua expert!
The words of the opponent carried an irresistible force, far more powerful than Nalan Yan'er.
Qi Shu shuddered, snapping back to reality.
Right!
He still had his older brother, the Shannan Dynasty, and Master Song; he couldn't afford to lose face in front of the people from Great Chu.
"Oh? So according to this teacher, how should we settle this?"
Feng Bailing also withdrew her smile.
Her seventh sense allowed her to remain clear-headed under the influence of the opponent's Wen Energy, but she was unable to manipulate this Wenhua Seal expert like she had Qi Shu.
"To kill is to pay with life, and having killed the Leopard Servant, compensation is indeed due. We may not ask for life, but compensation is necessary—a Leopard Servant for ten thousand silver taels, a very fair price."
Master Song said leisurely.
