Although Huangfu Ning was a master, his martial arts skills made it difficult for him to come and go without a trace. Overall, it was impossible for Huangfu Ning and his group to help him. In other words, he had allies in Tianshu Tower.
...The day after the expert who secretly helped Huangfu Zhong brought the poisonous insect to him, at dawn, a waxy yellow note containing nothing on it was received by the black market stronghold in Qinghe County. After receiving the news, the black market people did not know how to get it to Hua Wuxin within two days.
Hua Wuxin was currently hiding between Qinghe County and Qingliang Valley. He had complete control over not only Qinghe County but also Qingliang Valley's intelligence. Even the actions of the capital, thousands of miles away, were completely within his grasp. At this moment, he once again realized how wise his decision had been to take over this black market. Although he had to give up his position as patriarch, it was all worth it.
Hua Wuxin is now recuperating while trying to fulfill Wang Ruo's last wish in the shortest possible time and with the least possible expense. He promised Wang Ruo that if possible, he would live as long as possible to fulfill Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou's wishes.
When the news arrived from Qinghe County, Hua Wuxin had just finished his breakfast. He had originally given up eating breakfast, but thinking about the damage it was causing to his body, he became somewhat irresponsible.
The subordinate who was replying saw that someone was already clearing the dishes on the table, so he said, "Boss, the food has been delivered to Huangfu Zhong."
After Hua Wuxin finished drinking the bitter medicine, he asked, "Are you sure?"
The visitor nodded and said, "It's confirmed. The person responsible for delivering the item saw him receive it with his own eyes before informing us. He wouldn't dare to deceive us."
Hua Wuxin stood up and stretched his muscles before saying, "Well, now that the matter is settled, tell him that from today on, the threat posed by Tianshu Tower to him will no longer exist. Just let him rest assured."
"I understand."
Hua Wuxin looked at the notes on the table that were passed from various places and couldn't help but ask, "How many martial artists do we know are still in Tianshu Tower who are forced to do what they want?"
What they were discussing were the people Huangfu Zhong had previously discovered, those who had been caught by Tianshu Tower and were therefore forced to work secretly for Xiahou Qing. Huangfu Zhong had previously wanted to stay in Tianshu Tower in order to find evidence against these people and, after destroying it, reduce the support Xiahou Qing provided.
If even Huangfu Zhong could discover something, how could the black market not be prepared? To be frank, Xiahou Qing had always been very confident in himself, so he assumed the black market wouldn't expend significant financial resources to get involved in Liang State's affairs. However, he wasn't familiar with Hua Wuxin, otherwise he wouldn't have bought the information from the black market for convenience when initially collecting it. Of course, Xiahou Qing should have considered this possibility, but the person assigned to this task was Xiahou Chun, whom he trusted the most.
The visitor had anticipated Hua Wuxin's potential questions and had made thorough preparations early in the morning before reporting the news: "We currently have thirty-six individuals who are well-known in the martial arts world."
Hua Wuxin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "That's enough. You can contact these people secretly. Just as Tianshu Tower treated Liang State in the past, we will do the same to them today."
After saying that, Hua Wuxin was about to go out to water the flowers, but seeing that the visitor had no intention of leaving after answering, he asked, "What else?"
The visitor lowered his head and said, "...There's a child-like person who has been waiting outside for three days and three nights. Boss, do you think we should let her go?"
The only child-like person who knew Hua Wuxin was here was probably Prajna, but it was unclear whether that person also knew: "Is that person a man or a woman?"
The visitor replied, "It's a girl this time."
Hua Wuxin sighed deeply and then said in a rather unkind tone, "Tell her I'm not feeling well and am recuperating. If it's nothing urgent, let her leave. I don't need her to do anything here."
The visitor said helplessly, "I've already said that before. She said she wouldn't leave until she saw the boss. I didn't want to disturb the boss's rest before, but after a few days, I still feel a little..."
Hua Wuxin thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it. If you can't drive her away, there are others who can take her away. I'll be at your service."
After a while, Hua Wuxin wrote several pages of letter paper, put it in an envelope and handed it to the subordinate waiting beside him. After taking the letter, perhaps because the little girl looked so pitiful, the subordinate couldn't help but ask: "Boss, from the look in her eyes, do you really not plan to meet her? What if she has something important to say?"
Hua Wuxin said that he would never see Tanhua again, just like when his father was dying and wanted to see her but was ruthlessly turned away by her. When she did those things, she should have thought that there would be retribution today.
"Just deliver the letter to Prajna. You don't need to worry about anything else. Don't be fooled by her appearance. If something really stumps her, the black market may not be able to help. Do you understand?"
The subordinate lowered his head to glance at the letter in his hand and added, "Well, what if this girl comes again?"
Hua Wuxin chuckled and said with certainty: "Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
...Before Xiahou Qing returned to Qinghe County, the weather in Liang State was still the same as before. Everyone could still enjoy a little leisure time and also had time to prepare for the coming storm.
Lin Feng, who had returned from Qingliang Valley, got off the carriage and covered his face with a thick cotton cloth. After placing Lin Zhenzhen's ashes back in Shi Zairong's bedroom, Lin Feng went to the study as if he knew the way.
Shi Zairong frowned and moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak out loud for various reasons. When he finished his work and was about to get up and walk around, he looked up and saw Lin Feng: "You're finally back! I thought you were detained by Tang Chen!"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I'm not of any use to her, why is she holding me hostage?"
Lin Feng's expression when he spoke had changed significantly from when he was here before. At least, now he didn't feel as heavy and distressed as before. "Oh, it seems like I guessed, you've reconciled?"
