After leaving Luo Feixue, Yang Feilong rushed back to the General Bureau of Investigation.
On the same day, Yang Feilong's rank was promoted by one level, reaching the level of a two-star divine constable, and he also received the corresponding rewards.
Unfortunately, there were no bounties on the wanted list for that assassin. Otherwise, he could have made a fortune. Many assassins were not on the bounty list because they had principles and generally did not kill innocents unless it was part of a mission.
This was their principle.
Afterward, Yang Feilong bid farewell to Old Fang and left Dragon City, driving back to Lan Hai City.
He had left Lan Hai City at the beginning of the month, and now it was the middle of the month. Two more weeks would bring it to the end of the month.
The following days were uneventful for Yang Feilong. As a newly promoted master of time management, his schedule was packed, leaving nothing noteworthy to mention.
Time flew by, and more than a month passed.
For Yang Feilong, the past month had been one of leisure and freedom, with steady progress in his cultivation.
His Qi Refining had reached the middle stage of the sixth level, and his water and fire abilities had also advanced to the middle stage of the sixth tier. His combat power had significantly increased compared to when he returned from Dragon City over a month ago. Whether he could contend with cultivators at the Ba Wu realm now, Yang Feilong was unsure.
The main reason was that he had never fought against opponents of that level.
As the New Year's Day holiday approached, Yang Feilong began to get busy. First, he submitted his application to participate in the treasure selection event, where merit points could be exchanged for treasures, organized by the General Bureau of Investigation.
His merit points had increased again since more than a month ago. This was mainly because he had completed another mission recently, a mission worth sixty thousand merit points. It was the target's bad luck. Thinking that Lan Hai City had no experts, they wanted to cause trouble. However, after just one crime, they were found and killed by Yang Feilong!
Besides this, there was another matter that gave Yang Feilong a headache.
One morning, a day before New Year's Day, after breakfast, Luo Yujiao and Lou Yimo went to the company. This was mainly because the pharmaceutical company had developed too rapidly. Now, the pharmaceutical company had as many as two hundred physical stores, with branches in many neighboring cities. Of course, some of these were franchised stores, but they only accounted for one-third; most were directly operated.
"My beastly father is forcing me to go back!" Li Xiya looked at Yang Feilong with a dejected expression.
Li Xiya did not go to the jewelry company. After careful consideration, she told Yang Feilong about this matter.
"Do you have to go back?" Yang Feilong looked at Li Xiya, his face filled with reluctance.
Li Xiya remained silent.
Yang Feilong knew that if Li Xiya did not go back, her mother, even if not killed by that beast, would certainly be tormented by her beastly father. She knew what kind of person he was!
"Take this storage ring back as proof of your mission," Yang Feilong said, taking a deep breath and handing a storage ring to Li Xiya.
He had quite a few storage rings on him now, so one more or one less made no difference.
Li Xiya's mood was heavy. Looking at Yang Feilong, she said with a face full of apology, "I'm sorry."
"What do you have to be sorry for? I should be the one saying sorry!" Yang Feilong shook his head.
His current cultivation was not enough to kill Li Xiya's beastly father, nor could he force Li Xiya to stay. He paused and asked, "By the way, when is the latest you have to go back?"
"Before New Year's Day," Li Xiya replied with a wry smile.
"Before New Year's Day?" Yang Feilong thought for a moment and nodded, "Go back in a couple of days, and then see the situation there. We'll see if there's an opportunity then."
What he was thinking now was that before New Year's Day, that is, the end of this month, he could exchange some items with his merit points. Coupled with the gravity chamber, his cultivation might reach another level. Even if he was still no match for an eighth-tier ability user, with Li Xiya's assistance and by seizing the right moment, they might be able to kill that guy.
However, they needed to be foolproof and secure an escape route.
Because they needed to rescue Li Xiya's mother, this was a rather troublesome matter, as Li Xiya's mother was just an ordinary person.
"Okay," Li Xiya nodded, her eyes filled with hope and anticipation.
After practicing dual cultivation with Yang Feilong frequently for the past month or two, coupled with her own excellent talent, her cultivation had also made significant progress compared to more than a month ago, reaching the middle stage of the seventh tier. With her superb skills in concealing her strength, perhaps, in cooperation with Yang Feilong, they really had a chance to assassinate that beastly father.
She no longer wanted to be threatened by him!
Afterward, Yang Feilong and Li Xiya discussed for a long time. Then, Yang Feilong set off for Lan Hai University, while Li Xiya headed to the jewelry company. The jewelry company had also made great progress compared to more than a month ago. After all, Li Yufei and Li Xiya were both highly capable, and with the help of Xi Mengru's father, Xi Yingtian, it would be strange if they didn't develop quickly!
In Yang Feilong's office.
"Teacher Yang, I have something to tell you," Qian Yeyu said with a solemn expression after entering.
"What is it?" Yang Feilong asked, looking at Qian Yeyu's solemn expression, a little surprised.
There had been a bit of ambiguity between them on New Year's Day. Later, although Qian Yeyu had some thoughts, Yang Feilong had always kept his distance, so nothing happened between them.
When they interacted at school, it was strictly business. Qian Yeyu was the class monitor, and Yang Feilong was the homeroom teacher.
"The Yeren Group has dispatched ninja masters," Qian Yeyu said to Yang Feilong with a solemn expression. "His cultivation is extremely strong, comparable to cultivators at the Tianwu realm in the ancient martial arts world."
"They are willing to send a ninja master of this level?" Yang Feilong was slightly surprised.
Whether in the Dragon Kingdom or the Land of the Rising Sun, beings comparable to the Tianwu realm were considered important figures.
"It is said that this important figure has other missions, and killing you is merely incidental," Qian Yeyu said seriously.
"Killing me is just an incidental mission?" Yang Feilong touched his nose. "Isn't that looking down on me too much?"
"Although your strength is great, you are too young, and there is still a gap compared to true masters. It is normal for them to think this way!" Qian Yeyu said. "You must not be careless."
She knew that Yang Feilong's strength was far greater than hers, but she did not know exactly how strong he was, and Yang Feilong had no obligation to tell her.
"Tell me, if I kill him, will the Yeren Group send even more powerful masters?" Yang Feilong asked, rubbing his chin and looking at Qian Yeyu.
"You want to kill him?" Qian Yeyu was startled by his words, her surprise evident.
"Is that not allowed?" Yang Feilong shrugged. "Perhaps, you don't want him to die?"
"I'm just worried that you can't kill the opponent, and instead..." Qian Yeyu said with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult for me to kill someone of that level if I want to. Make arrangements for me and create an opportunity. I will take his life!" Yang Feilong said.
Because of Li Xiya's situation, he felt some pent-up frustration and wanted to vent.
The news brought by Qian Yeyu was most suitable for him!
