Chapter 670 - Chapter 670 670

Chapter 670: 670 Chapter 670: 670 Feng Jun did not show surprise at Yang Yuxin’s sensitivity; in fact, among those in power, it is rare to find someone with insufficient wit.

Some say, “The meat eaters are despised, for they cannot plan far ahead.” In reality, most of the time, it’s because their perspectives differ from the average person’s.

So he answered with a smile, “Yes, I’m thinking of going abroad. Might even consider buying a little island somewhere.”

His statement was half-joking, half-serious. It wasn’t that he had the intention of going abroad, but rather… he needed to think about arranging some excuses, to prepare for any possible incidents.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuxin immediately tensed up. “Which country do you plan to visit? How long will you be gone?”

“It depends,” Feng Jun didn’t take her reaction seriously and answered with a smile, “I haven’t even used my passport since I got it.”

“I suggest you postpone your overseas trip,” Yang Yuxin’s voice was a bit heavy, “Jin City’s five consecutive jumps haven’t been resolved yet, and it might be inconvenient for you to leave now.”

Five consecutive jumps… How should one put it? Actually, in a country as large as Huaxia, do a few deaths really matter that much? As long as the situation can be controlled locally and online public opinion doesn’t form, there wouldn’t be big trouble.

However, in that particular incident, not only did more than five people die, but there were also firearms from overseas, and the victim of the shooting was Yang Yuxin. Once the report was submitted, the national machinery, once put in motion, could not be stopped.

Not to mention, the incident involved not only the small southwestern country but also the shadow of Nihong Nation.

Now, no one was bothering Feng Jun, but that didn’t mean no one was paying attention to him. Of course, this attention was only cursory; after all, in the vast land of Huaxia, there were too many matters worth attention, and he had the protection of the Yang Family.

But at this moment, if he wanted to leave the country, he might truly not be able to go.

Yang Yuxin made it clear to him, “Even if you manage to leave, it will definitely raise your profile in others’ eyes. Why bother? Why not keep a low profile for a couple of years, or wait until the Jin City incident is resolved? Wouldn’t that be better?”

Feng Jun was startled when he heard this, then he smiled, “Alright, I was just making a joke. I won’t go abroad, not even by smuggling.”

However, Yang Yuxin knew what his words meant, “From what I know, you may have smuggled yourself to Myanmar before. If you have similar plans now, you had better be cautious and not rely on those smugglers… Those guys aren’t safe.”

Feng Jun, having made his way in the city, was of course very aware of the unreliability of smugglers.

Are the local authorities really unaware of the existence of these smugglers? Impossible.

A secret known by three people is no secret at all.

Just like the government’s crackdowns on vices and gangs, if they truly meant to take action, they wouldn’t need to make slogans. They would go straight to the local police who knew the situation better than anyone,

During crackdowns, they might encounter organized crime from other regions attempting to expand locally, and the police might not be informed, but smugglers… To stay in this business relies on reputation; they are all seasoned hands.

If not seasoned, who knows where they might transport people, or if there’s even someone to meet them?

In short, while the police may not usually interfere with smugglers’ minor activities due to the extensive network of interests involved, if the police truly forbid someone’s exit from the country, they would ensure that the smugglers were informed too.

Feng Jun replied with a smile, “I was just joking. By the way… Our conversation isn’t being monitored, is it?”

Yang Yuxin gave a vague answer, but her tone was very certain, “In theory, no. Things haven’t gotten serious enough for that. They have far too many things to deal with every day… Anyway, our conversation doesn’t involve anything significant.”

She had another concern, “Leaving like this, will there be any problems with the manor?”

Director Yang was very well aware that Luohua Manor had too many treasures; if Feng Jun wasn’t around, replacing him with someone else might not be able to keep things under control.

“No problem,” Feng Jun answered with a smile, “I’ve taken another expert under my wing.”

Being able to effectively control Hua Hua, he indeed saved himself a lot of trouble. Without chains to bind it, even if an Innate Expert appeared, it might not end well for them.

That night, Feng Jun made some arrangements and instructed Hua Hua for a good while, telling it to keep a tight watch over the manor.

The next morning, riding a motorcycle, he vanished into the chilly wind at the manor’s entrance.

Actually, Luohua Manor was not short of cars. One car per person might not be possible, but certainly one for every two people was more than sufficient. However, Feng Jun chose to leave on a motorcycle this time because he planned to travel across the country. Driving a car would make it easy for people to track him, but riding a motorcycle was different.

In most big cities, motorcycles are banned, and in small places, no license is needed. At worst, if the bike got impounded, he would just abandon it and walk away.

Therefore, it was the cold weather and the safety risks of high speeds that could cause greater inconvenience.

But given Feng Jun’s skills and reflexes, this seemed hardly worth mentioning.

What he didn’t expect was that less than half a day after he left, Luohua Manor had visitors–a middle-aged woman with two women in their thirties.

The three of them got out of a taxi and immediately asked to see Master Feng at the entrance. The two gate guards informed them that the Master was not in, and if they had any issues, they should come back later.

The guards were now very loyal, but if not necessary, they would not offend people lightly. Firstly, they were afraid of creating personal grudges, and secondly, Luohua Manor also had to consider its public image.

The three women wanted to know when Feng Jun could return, but that was not a question a gate guard could answer.

After discussing among themselves, they finally switched to a different request, “Could you please tell Gazi that an old acquaintance seeks an audience?”

Gazi’s status in the manor was somewhat extraordinary. He was the only childhood friend Feng Jun had brought from his hometown. For this reason, even Sister Hong treated him with considerable courtesy. Moreover, he made himself deserving of respect, as he was the first person from the manor to be promoted to martial master.

On the other hand, Gazi was particularly approachable. He did not carry the arrogance of Xu Lei Gang and Wang Haifeng and was quite amicable, even somewhat too good-natured, and didn’t mind others calling him by his nickname.

The fact that these three women could utter the name “Gazi” did not mean they were particularly close to Lu Xiaoning, but the two guards did not dare to treat them negligently and so they called him directly on the intercom.

Gazi arrived quickly in a small car.

He got out of the car and came to the gate, scrutinizing the visitors carefully, “May I ask… what can I do for you?”

“Greetings, Taoist friend,” the middle-aged lady raised her hand in a salute, “Danxia Tian’s Guan Shanyue of Magu Mountain at your service.”

Gazi suddenly realized and returned the salute, “Oh, I was wondering why you looked familiar. It turns out we’ve met in Maoshan before.”

As it turned out, this lady was the one who had appeared at the reopening ceremony of Juqu Cave Heaven, only at that time she was dressed in a Daoist robe, and now she was in secular garb, which made him not recognize her at first.

Guan Shanyue gave him a slight smile, “Taoist friend, may we enter the manor to talk things over in detail?”

The weather was cold at the moment, and the three women had come by taxi wearing relatively thin clothes, now shivering a bit.

Gazi looked at their appearance and felt a twinge of pity, but letting them in… even if he were inclined, the gate guards would not agree–the order to admit someone could only be given by Feng Jun.

He pondered for a moment and then asked, “May I dare to ask why you three have come? Can it not be explained in a sentence or two?”

Guan Shanyue nodded, “Indeed, it can’t be explained briefly. First, may I ask when Master Feng will return?”

Gazi did not answer, but instead instructed the gate guards to open the gate. He then drove the car that he had brought through the gate and invited the three women to get in. “We can’t just let anyone into the manor. Let’s talk in the car.”

The three women got into the car and explained their purpose.

Having witnessed the reopening of Jintan Huayang Celestial Part in Magu Mountain, they were quite envious. But initially, they could not ascertain who exactly had helped Maoshan, only knowing that Luohua Manor had played a significant role.

Guan Shanyue, being a perspicacious person, feigned ignorance while asking some questions. Although she was laughed at, she had done a favor for the Maoshan Sect.

Afterward, she got concrete information from Tang Wangsun and knew that it was best to go directly to Luohua Manor for help.

This was where she was careful, not like the father and son of the Wudang Guo Family, who, upon having a suspicion, went straight to the door to seek Feng Jun.

In fact, even after the arrangements were made, she was still a bit uneasy, a trait commonly seen in women.

In her hesitation, she learned that Wudang Elder Guo had gone to Luohua Manor and then Feng Jun had left with a few people.

Guan Shanyue had contacts in Wudang too, and she simply assumed that Elder Guo was busy for Wudang’s sake, so her attention shifted there, not realizing that she wouldn’t see anyone for several days in a row.

A couple of days ago, Elder Guo returned to Wudang but had been in talks with the leaders for two days.

Guan Shanyue could not guess what was happening, but being good at persistence, she directly approached him and asked what he wanted with Feng Jun.

Elder Guo initially pretended not to know, but Guan Shanyue was not the kind to give up easily. She hinted, didn’t you want to avoid having this gossip spread everywhere?

Then she hinted to Elder Guo: “My Danxia Tian also has opportunities, and how you treat me today–you’d better not regret it in the future.”

Eventually, she expressed that she was not very interested in any benefits that he might have gained; her main concern was to ask for his opinion on whether the people of Luohua Manor were reliable.

Who was Elder Guo? Upon hearing this, he could tell that if she claimed to be not much interested in the Guo Family’s benefits, it meant she indeed had something valuable on hand and wanted Luohua Manor’s assistance in dealing with it.

Cultivators never think they have too many resources.

Elder Guo immediately said that he had indeed received some help from Senior Feng.

As for whether they were trustworthy or not, he could not say, only that Feng Jun was astonishingly powerful, fair in his dealings, and as for your concern about your own interests being compromised–you first have to make sure they are interested in the items you possess, otherwise they might not even be willing to help.

Their communication was not comprehensive, but they agreed that if Magu Mountain found success after seeking Luohua Manor, the two sides could speak openly and honestly about cooperation.

Having met with Elder Guo, Guan Shanyue felt reassured about Feng Jun. If only Maoshan praised him, then so be it, but Elder Guo from Wudang also praised him highly and even hoped to exchange resources in the future, which showed that Feng Jun was indeed convincing in his actions.

Therefore, she brought two disciples and made their way to Luohua Manor, only to find that they were a bit late.
