Chapter 410 - 211: Reunion with Lu Shiran (3)
Chapter 410 - 211: Reunion with Lu Shiran (3)
Li Hengsheng took a deep breath, and the pain of being betrayed by Lord Zhou and Lu Qiaoqiao was somewhat soothed.
In this world, there are still people who love him.
He has his father and the senior Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable.
"After Inspector Wan returns, please convey my gratitude to your lord. If Jiangxue Dao ever needs assistance, feel free to send a letter." Li Hengsheng clasped his hands and said.
"Absolutely, absolutely," Wan Guifeng laughed, "But given the current situation, I can’t return for now. Lord Li, you were quite harsh on the Mu Mansion and the Hua family just now, almost giving them no leeway. They certainly won’t take it lying down and will come looking for trouble, so I’ll stay to help out."
"Moreover, Caohe Village isn’t innocent either. They usually keep a low profile, but they’re like a lurking hungry wolf, ready to pounce at any moment."
"One must be vigilant."
Wan Guifeng reminded.
"Don’t worry," Li Hengsheng said calmly, "soon they won’t be able to make any more moves."
After saying this, Li Hengsheng walked into the Inspection Mansion.
Wan Guifeng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. Where did Li Hengsheng’s confidence come from? Could it be that some powerful figure is coming to support him?
Otherwise, considering the current situation, Li Hengsheng can be said to have thoroughly offended both the Hua family and the Mu Mansion.
Moreover, the ancestor of the Mu Mansion is about to exit seclusion.
When that time comes, can Li Hengsheng still have peaceful days?
Even if the ancestor of the Mu Mansion doesn’t dare to openly kill Li Hengsheng, killing him secretly wouldn’t be difficult for someone at the Innate Perfection level, right?
By that time, not even having myself and Xu Kui around to protect him would be able to withstand someone at Innate Perfection!
Wan Guifeng was puzzled but did not ask further.
Li Hengsheng walked into the Inspection Mansion. At this moment, Mu Jing and Hua Zheliu were tied up, with their henchmen all subdued and obedient.
"Li Hengsheng, you better release me quickly. My ancestor is about to exit seclusion, and then it will be your day of reckoning!" Mu Jing glared at Li Hengsheng viciously.
Hua Zheliu also glared at Li Hengsheng in anger, "My Hua family also has an ancestor alive. You better release me, or you’ll regret it."
"Release you?"
Li Hengsheng chuckled, "I still need to extract some information from you. One is from the Mu Mansion, and the other is a direct line of the Hua family. You must know a lot. You are well aware of the crimes of the Mu Mansion and the Hua family. I hope you can assist, as I’m responsible to the people as the Inspector of White Snake Dao, and I hope you don’t make it difficult for me."
"Bah!"
Mu Jing said, "I won’t say anything."
Hua Zheliu snorted coldly, "I know nothing."
"Hmm, quite stubborn." Li Hengsheng was unfazed and ordered them to be locked up in the dungeons to be properly ’entertained’.
After they were locked up, the other guards began to tidy up the scene. Those around Li Hengsheng were all curious about how he was still alive.
Li Hengsheng himself did not know how to explain this.
"Senior Brother Li, I almost sent a message to the sect," Wu Santong said, tears in his eyes. Seeing Li Hengsheng come back to life was a great relief.
"Don’t worry, everything’s fine," Li Hengsheng said with a smile.
"Senior Brother, who was the one that killed you?" Wu Santong was still furious and determined to find out.
"Wu Shidi, don’t ask." Li Hengsheng shook his head, "I can handle this matter myself."
"Alright then."
Since Li Hengsheng said so, Wu Santong did not pursue it further.
"Young Master, I’ll arrange a meal to celebrate you and also thank Inspector Wan’s help over the past few days," Xu Kui suggested.
"We should indeed thank Inspector Wan properly."
Li Hengsheng nodded.
Next, Li Hengsheng had a table of dishes prepared at the largest restaurant in Tushan City and invited Wan Guifeng.
Wan Guifeng was surprised, not expecting Li Hengsheng to invite him to a meal.
What is Li Hengsheng’s status?
He’s someone that the ancestor of the Great Yuan Dynasty himself ordered to be taken care of, and backed by Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, such a figure inviting him to a meal?
It was noon.
Beiyan Tower.
It’s the largest restaurant in Tushan City, and its owner, though a businessman, has some connections in the National Guardian Mansion, which allowed the restaurant to grow so large.
Upon hearing that Li Hengsheng wanted to dine, arrangements were made seamlessly.
The largest private room on the third floor was given to Li Hengsheng.
In the private room sat Li Hengsheng, Xu Kui, Wu Santong, Marquis Yan, Wan Guifeng, Lin Qizhu, and some other powerful guards.
One purpose was to celebrate Li Hengsheng’s rebirth and another was kind of a welcome for Wan Guifeng.
When Wan Guifeng met Li Hengsheng, he initially thought Li Hengsheng would be an aloof and serious person, but after a few rounds of drinks, he found Li Hengsheng to be very approachable.
Li Hengsheng and Wu Santong shared some interesting stories from the Mountain Ancient Land, which intrigued Wan Guifeng and made him long for the sect.
Wan Guifeng never expected that Li Hengsheng, who jumped from being a service disciple to a direct disciple of the sect, would be something he might never witness again in his life.
