“Dad.”
After seeing Han Huxiao’s mood improving, Han Yue felt relieved.
Han Yue continued, “Deputy Hall Master Xu also interrogated the troublemakers, and they confessed that the force behind the scenes was Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.”
“Fenghe Martial Arts Hall?”
When Han Huxiao heard this, his eyes looked around, his face full of uncertainty.
Han Yue didn’t want to disturb her father’s thoughts.
“Xie Ninghe…”
There was a hint of coldness in Han Huxiao’s tone.
After hearing about the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Han Huxiao concluded that the troublemakers were speaking the truth.
When Han Huxiao entered Chun Rin Canton and established the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, he had his troubles with Xie Ninghe, the owner of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
When Fenghe Martial Arts Hall was just established, the two sides fought openly and secretly for resources.
Later, with the passage of time, both Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and Fenghe Martial Arts Hall built a foundation in Chun Rin Canton. On the surface, it looked like everything had become peaceful.
But neither Han Huxiao nor Xie Ninghe had completely let go of their grievances.
In the subsequent confrontations, the two sides each received their share of victories and defeats. Last month, the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall even snagged a deal from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
However, even though the competition between the two sides was fierce, Han Huxiao did not expect that Xie Ninghe would dare to try to kill him and destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
“It’s not that simple.”
After thinking about it, Han Huxiao came to a conclusion.
“What’s the matter, Dad?”
Han Yue asked quickly.
“It is absolutely impossible for Xie Ninghe to do this alone.” Han Huxiao said affirmatively, “He must have brought in a helper.”
“Xie Ninghe can’t even recruit the intention realm warrior that had ambushed me. With the power of Xie Ninghe and the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall alone, even if the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is defeated, they won’t be able to completely eliminate us.”
“He is not stupid. He definitely won’t spend a lot of effort recruiting other forces.”
Han Huxiao inferred, “The only possibility is that Xie Ninghe has pulled someone in! He has teamed up with others and is ready to pull us into the abyss.”
“Um…”
Han Huxiao’s inference made Han Yue, who had already calmed down, become a little flustered again.
“Then what do we do?”
“Don’t panic.”
Han Huxiao was still calm. “Although the people who have joined Xie Ninghe are strong, they are not that strong that we can’t deal with them. If the people who joined Xie Ninghe really had enough strength, they would not have brought Xie Ninghe in to share a piece of the pie.”
“Now that we have Xu Ning in the martial arts hall, although we can’t turn the tables against them, it’s not difficult to wait for Miss Feng San to come next month.”
Han Yue nodded silently after listening.
…
After Xu Ning returned to the room, he did not immediately study the Tidal Fist. Instead, he routinely checked the Thousand Source Bug.
Xu Ning first took off his belt and put it on the table.
Xu Ning had been wearing this belt for a long time, so the surface layer of the belt had worn out.
Two days ago, Xu Ning had found an equipment shop, and he bought a new custom outfit there. In two days, he would collect it.
For something as precious as the Thousand Source Bug, Xu Ning would have to carry it on him to feel at ease.
Xu Ning opened the hidden compartment.
“Um…”
Xu Ning checked it out as usual. Less than two days had passed since the last time the Thousand Source Bug expelled any Aura Crystals.
Inside the hidden compartment, there was an extra silver-white Aura Crystal next to the white insect.
This Aura Crystal was discharged by the fat white bug after it swallowed a kind of stone called pure ore.
‘It expelled an Aura Crystal in just a day and a half?’
This was the first time Xu Ning had seen this white fat bug work with such efficiency.
Without hesitation, Xu Ning immediately grabbed the silver-white Aura Crystal.
When Xu Ning’s fingertips touched the silver-white Aura Crystal, Xu Ning saw a pop up.
—
2 units of discovered energy, absorb?
Yes/No
—
“2 units?”
Xu Ning felt pleasantly surprised.
When the Thousand Source Bug previously swallowed the fire crystal ore, it took three days to discharge an Aura Crystal that was worth 2 energy units, but now, it only took a day and a half!
Its efficiency had doubled.
According to this calculation, as long as Xu Ning provided the Thousand Source Bug with pure ores, he would have a stable energy generation of 40 units of energy per month.
Xu Ning was overjoyed.
“Absorb.”
Xu Ning immediately absorbed 2 units of energy.
Xu Ning’s energy reserves went from 98 units to 100 units.
The Aura Crystal in Xu Ning’s hand also turned into powder.
The Aura Crystals discharged by the Thousand Source Bug were free of any impurities after being absorbed.
But because it swallowed ores, its Aura Crystals were no longer pure.
For the owners of other Thousand Source Bugs, impure Aura Crystals were definitely a big problem.
But for Xu Ning, this had no effect at all.
‘I’ll experiment with another ore for this Thousand Source Bug.’
Among the ore purchased by Xu Ning previously, the Thousand Source Bug was only interested in four types of ore.
Xu Ning reached out his finger and pushed the fat white bug abruptly away from the surface of the remaining pure ore.
The white fat bug was forced to move away from the delicious food. It looked a little reluctant.
But soon, Xu Ning gave it a new ore. After the white fat bug sensed it, it happily continued to eat it.
‘It sure has a big appetite.’
Xu Ning closed the hidden compartment and tied it on his waist again.
Xu Ning felt that his advancements were getting more and more secure.
‘If I can learn Tidal Fist and get a void realm secret scroll, that would be great.’
Xu Ning looked forward to his progress. He then picked up Tidal Fist and continued to study it.
Xu Ning was confident that in two days, he could finish studying Tidal Fist and implant it on the Martial Arts Panel.
However, Xu Ning didn’t know exactly how many energy units were needed to advance Tidal Fist.
After all, it was a void realm secret technique, so it must require a ton of energy
However, Xu Ning was not worried about not being able to advance it after implanting the technique. After all, he had 100 units of energy saved up.
In addition to this, he also had 100 gold taels.
Xu Ning planned to wait until the afternoon before he would go buy some spirit medicines with the 100 gold taels he got. Once he finished absorbing them, he would have more than 100 units of energy.
…
In the afternoon, Xu Ning left the martial arts hall.
After Xu Ning left, Du Che also left the martial arts hall.
The direction Du Che went was exactly where the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall was located.
On the way to Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Du Che used a rice hat to cover his face.
This was what many rangers wore when they entered a city in order to stay low-key.
When he arrived at the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Du Che entered through the back door and entered a room.
“Hall Master Xie.”
After entering the room, Du Che respectfully saluted the person sitting at the table.
“Dad.”
After seeing Han Huxiao’s mood improving, Han Yue felt relieved.
Han Yue continued, “Deputy Hall Master Xu also interrogated the troublemakers, and they confessed that the force behind the scenes was Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.”
