Capítulo 826: Chapter 826: The True Master Arrives
Night falls at the headquarters resort of the Star Moon Sect, in the living room on the third floor of a villa.
Sitting there were Lin Fei, Ancient Moon River, Elder Bai, Gao Zhan, Lu Dai, Leng Ying, Gu Mu, and others.
“Xie Feng, I have already interrogated He Jing. Even by threatening him with his grandson He Ling, we got nothing. He said that aside from that villa estate where Housekeeper Song secretly resides, he doesn’t know any other places Housekeeper Song could be staying.” Ancient Moon River said to Lin Fei with a serious expression.
Lin Fei was not surprised by this outcome, so his expression remained calm and composed.
“Mr. Gu, someone must have tipped off Housekeeper Song this time, which is why we came up empty-handed. But I believe that since Housekeeper Song knows you have reclaimed control of the Star Moon Sect, the Martial Saint of Jiangnan will definitely prompt him to take action,” Lin Fei said as he looked at Ancient Moon River.
“But Xie Feng, if the Martial Saint of Jiangnan comes in person, how should we deal with it?” There was a touch of worry in Ancient Moon River’s eyes.
Even though he knew Lin Fei’s abilities were extraordinary, the Martial Saint of Jiangnan was a legendary figure in Jiangnan, not easy to confront.
Lin Fei remained indifferent and said, “Mr. Gu, even though you have taken back control of the Star Moon Sect, to the Martial Saint of Jiangnan, this is no major event. A person of his stature is unlikely to come in person; the most likely scenario is that he will send Housekeeper Song.”
“However, no matter how strong Housekeeper Song is, he is not the Martial Saint of Jiangnan. Therefore, even if we deal with Housekeeper Song, if we do not locate the Martial Saint of Jiangnan, we will still face endless troubles.”
Ancient Moon River looked at Lin Fei and said, “You mean we must find the Martial Saint of Jiangnan to completely resolve this issue?”
Lin Fei nodded, “Exactly, otherwise eliminating Housekeeper Song is pointless.”
“But if even Housekeeper Song can’t be found, how can we locate the Martial Saint of Jiangnan?” Ancient Moon River seemed puzzled.
Lin Fei’s gaze sharpened as he said, “It seems, at present, there’s only one plan that can achieve this purpose.”
Then, Lin Fei leaned in close to Ancient Moon River’s ear, speaking in a voice only Ancient Moon River could hear.
After listening, Ancient Moon River had a look of surprise on his face, gazing at Lin Fei, saying, “Your plan is to use the ruse of self-injury.”
Lin Fei smiled and said, “It just might cause Mr. Gu some discomfort.”
Elder Bai, Gao Zhan, and Lu Dai exchanged glances, not knowing what Lin Fei just whispered to Ancient Moon River.
But they dared not ask.
Ancient Moon River burst into hearty laughter, “Ha ha ha, a little discomfort is nothing! As long as we can eliminate Housekeeper Song and that Martial Saint of Jiangnan, the Star Moon Sect can remain secure forever.”
Then, Ancient Moon River furrowed his brow again, looking at Lin Fei and said, “Xie Feng, I still have one more question. Even if we act according to the plan, how will you deal with the Martial Saint of Jiangnan?”
Lin Fei replied, “Mr. Gu, you forgot I mentioned that I know a legendary expert. Once we find the Martial Saint of Jiangnan, I will ask this legendary expert to deal with him.”
Ancient Moon River’s eyes lit up. He naturally didn’t think the legendary expert Lin Fei mentioned was non-existent; he just knew that this legendary expert was Lin Fei’s support.
“Xie Feng, if you hadn’t said it, I would have almost forgotten that you have a legendary expert as backup.” Ancient Moon River’s face lit up with joy as he spoke to Lin Fei.
Even Elder Bai, Gao Zhan, and Lu Dai believed Lin Fei’s words.
“Mr. Gu, in the next couple of days, be extra cautious. If nothing unexpected happens, Housekeeper Song will come after you. Meanwhile, I will seek my legendary expert to lend us a hand.” Lin Fei said to Ancient Moon River.
Ancient Moon River nodded repeatedly, “Xie Feng, I will deal with Housekeeper Song according to your plan, but please trouble yourself to invite the legendary expert.”
Lin Fei said, “It’s no trouble; this legendary expert is easy to talk to. I will now go to find the legendary expert.”
He was speaking the truth; there was no legendary expert. If there had to be one, it would be himself.
When he bid farewell to Ancient Moon River, it wasn’t to find a legendary expert, but to first return to an outlying villa to check on Qin Yunyue, Yuan Yuxi, and Qin Zimo.
Before leaving, Lin Fei told Elder Bai, Gao Zhan, and Lu Dai, “First, go back to your respective strongholds in Jiangnan City, summon experts from your factions, and await my orders.”
“Yes, Master.” The three immediately replied respectfully to Lin Fei.
At night, Lin Fei and the three others left the Star Moon Sect resort district.
After the four left the resort district, just hundreds of meters away from its gate, a person hiding in the dark took out a phone, “Housekeeper Song, the three major sect leaders—Elder Bai, Gao Zhan, and Lu Dai—have also left the resort district.”
Clearly, this figure in the shadows focused their scrutiny on Elder Bai, Gao Zhan, and Lu Dai, completely overlooking Lin Fei.
“Hmm, keep watching for one more day; I must uncover who is backing Ancient Moon River.” Housekeeper Song’s voice came from the phone.
“Yes, Housekeeper Song,” the man in the shadows immediately replied.
The next day arrived, some distance from the resort, halfway up a mountain, a man in ordinary attire dialed a phone.
“What’s new, any discoveries?” The voice of Housekeeper Song inquired from the phone.
“Housekeeper Song, the three sect leaders who left last night have not resurfaced.” The man reported to the phone.
“Ancient Moon River must have support, but in any case, we must act tonight to avoid complications. Keep close watch and ensure Ancient Moon River doesn’t escape.” Housekeeper Song instructed.
“Yes, Housekeeper Song.”
Night fell once more, several kilometers away from the Star Moon Sect resort on the sea, there was a yacht.
Inside the yacht’s cabin, seated on the leather sofas were Lin Fei, Yun Zhen, Qin Yunyue, Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, and others.
They were drinking, chatting, and the atmosphere was light and pleasant.
This was Lin Fei’s first time relaxing and playing with Qin Yunyue, Yuan Yuxi, and others since arriving in Jiangnan City.
At this moment, Yun Zhen’s phone rang, drawing the attention of Lin Fei and everyone else.
Yun Zhen took out the phone and answered, “Hello, what’s up? Any discoveries?”
“I see, very well, remain calm, and we will come over right away.”
After finishing the call, Yun Zhen looked at Lin Fei and said, “Lin Fei, there’s a discovery. Our people lurking around the Star Moon Sect resort have found some people in the surrounding mountains secretly watching the Star Moon Sect.”
“It seems Housekeeper Song has sent people to secretly monitor Mr. Gu. Let our Cloud Pavilion people keep a close eye on Housekeeper Song’s men,” Lin Fei said.
“Yes,” Yun Zhen immediately replied.
“Look, someone is flying in the air.” At this moment, Yuan Yuxi spotted something through the porthole and immediately called out to the others.
Everyone looked in the direction indicated and saw, under the bright moonlit sky, an elder with grey hair wearing a long robe, soaring like a great roc, arms spread wide, robes billowing, as he flew swiftly towards the Star Moon Sect resort in midair.
Seeing this elder in long robes with grey hair, who remarkably resembled the “Housekeeper Song” with the mask that was killed by Ancient Moon River today, Lin Fei suddenly realized: This person is Housekeeper Song!
