Martial King's Retired Life

Book 15: Chapter 106

it was fleeting, but ming feizhen sensed someone spying on them just before; however, he didn’t find the person hiding in the shadow when he landed on a building far from dongpo. the presence he picked up on was barely noticeable, but it seemed as though the individual didn’t try to deliberately conceal their appearance. instead, their presence just seemed to be that faint. nobody on the radar resembled that presence, though. suddenly, ming feizhen looked up to the peak of a tree to spot a silhouette rise from it.

black crows...

the individual tied a thread to the feet of several alerted birds in order to bounce up. every time ming feizhen landed after a jump, he noticed the distance between them increased over a dozen metres. the last place he landed was a residential zone one kilometre from dongpo.

as soon as he pushed the door open, ming feizhen reached in and aimed a palm strike at the individual’s shoulder. smiling, he asked, “did you enjoy peeking, brother?”

nobody else would’ve smiled if they saw the individual inside, considering his height and muscular build, not to mention the violence he oozed from behind his mask. his mask was just a plain iron mask that wouldn’t even have scared a kid, but it gave off the vibe of a metal helmet of a deadly warrior on him. despite not doing anything in particular, he was able to emanate violence, the type that would’ve crushed the building with a single wave of his hand. perhaps he was too large for the building.

he unleashed a palm strike at ming feizhen, which ming feizhen met with his own. no colourful energy blasts or the sort were generated, yet the shockwave destroyed the building.

ming feizhen was surprised the individual was able to produce that amount of force instantaneously without looking as if he was even trying. in contrast, ming feizhen went backwards notwithstanding the momentum he had from entering the building.

i fell for a trap.

it was certain that he hadn’t been constantly keeping tabs on feng jiutian, which meant that he was given the task more recently in order to see what the rich young master was up to. of course, they might have been planning to just give feng clan a “pleasant” surprise, such as sending them the corpse of their successor, as a warning to not cross a boundary. most likely, they didn’t expect to run into ming feizhen just as he didn’t expect to run into them.

all in all, nevertheless, ming feizhen was glad that nothing bad had happened so far. if emperor’s entourage found elise at dongpo, too, he would have had an even tougher time trying to justify himself. all he could conclude at this point was that the bugger was more conniving than he had seen thus far.

ming feizhen rushed back to dongpo before emperor’s entourage’s agents arrived, picked elise up onto his shoulder in spite of her displeasure and left a crow with feng jiutian.

“clean this place up already. people are coming. if they ask about me, cover for me. by the way, if the bird dies, i’ll take your lives. both of you,” ming feizhen threatened.
