Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Formidable Intelligence Chief

Chu Feng exhibited extraordinary talent in understanding Sword Intent, which made Liu Ping think of that legendary hero from the Sword King Mansion.

Prince Jian was once able to dominate the battlefield and remain undefeated beyond the borders, causing the Three Outer Clans to feel terrified and helpless. Wasn’t it all thanks to his strong Sword Intent?

Now it seems that Chu Feng, the once Qilin Sword Son, might be the most outstanding among Prince Jian’s three children.

His talent in the Sword Dao might even surpass Prince Jian’s.

"A few days ago, Qiao Sheng was forced by Chu Feng, that waste, to kneel on the playground, subjected to all sorts of humiliation. His hatred for Chu Feng must be very deep. I could use this to my advantage."

After class, Liu Ping left the classroom quickly with a sullen face.

He went to find Qiao Sheng to discuss ways to deal with Chu Feng.

...

Inside a luxurious mansion of the Qiao Family, the walls were adorned with extremely rare and valuable medicinal materials, such as dried thousand-year-old pangolin, and a giant centipede, known as the king of poisons, which was over a foot long.

There was also a ginseng resembling a child that had lived for ten thousand years.

Everything was there, and each item was a rare treasure in the world.

The Qiao Family Master, a plump white man, was slowly sipping ginseng tea prepared by the servants, sitting on a grandmaster chair covered with soft polar bear fur. As a wealthy man, he paid a lot of attention to health preservation.

At that moment, an elegant and beautiful woman quickly walked in.

Her gaze seemed to see through people’s hearts, and her face bore a charming slight smile. Although her exact age was indiscernible, she was certainly not under thirty.

But never underestimate her, she is the head of intelligence for the Qiao Family.

In charge of the Qiao Family’s intelligence network, there were virtually no secrets she could not uncover. Her subordinates included countless beautiful girls who had undergone special training.

Some sold laughs in brothels, while others married as concubines to officials of the Jianyun Dynasty.

She even had infiltrated the Imperial Palace.

The Qiao Family Master, while drinking his ginseng tea, fixed his gaze on the enchanting face, "Shishi, how is the investigation I asked you to conduct?"

Unlike ordinary beauties, Shishi exuded an uncommon decisiveness and heroic spirit.

She was like a female general.

"I have not disappointed you, master. I have found out. The Puppet Elixir auctioned at the auction, was indeed put there by Chu Feng, the Third Prince of the Sword King Mansion." Shishi’s face showed a hint of pride.

For others, finding out the details of an auction’s client is extremely difficult.

But she had successfully found out.

Heroes have a weakness for beautiful women, and there are not many men in the world who don’t like beautiful women. Besides, those who don’t like them must certainly have other hobbies.

Silver, power, reputation, and others.

As long as there is a preference, Shishi finds a way to get close to them. She lets her spies mix in with these people.

Thus obtaining the desired information.

"Third Prince Chu Feng, how is that possible? Isn’t that boy just a waste?" The Qiao Family Master was shocked upon hearing this, he spurted out the ginseng tea in his mouth everywhere.

He was choking badly, coughing continuously.

The news was indeed startling.

"I just said that the Puppet Elixir was auctioned by Chu Feng, it doesn’t mean that Chu Feng crafted it." Shishi hurried forward, extending her delicate hand to pat the Qiao Family Master’s back.

Calm him and smooth his Qi flow.

"On that day, Chu Feng took two elixirs to the auction. Another one was a Continuation Pill."

"According to the information I gathered, a few days ago, Second Princess Chu Yun of the Sword King Mansion. Due to her rash cultivation in seclusion, her Sword Qi went out of control and broke her Heart Meridian. She was on the brink of death."

"Later, the Sword King Mansion sought everywhere for treasures to suppress the Sword Qi. Not many days after, Chu Yun’s injuries were healed. If I’m not wrong, she must have taken a Continuation Pill."

Shishi possesses vast amounts of intelligence information and, relying on her professional skills, is very adept at summarizing and analyzing these pieces of information.

Thus connecting seemingly unrelated intelligence to deduce significant information hidden behind the scenes.

At this moment, she used this typical method to deduce that Chu Feng possesses Continuation Pills, and not just one.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" the Qiao Family Head furrowed his brows and demanded.

He did not like it when his subordinates beat around the bush and spoke in riddles.

"I have checked some of Chu Feng’s recent movements; he suddenly took Niu Baotian as his mentor a few days ago. It might have been even earlier, but no more than three or four days. Because before this, Chu Feng had a conflict with Niu Baotian..."

Saying this, Shishi recounted the incident where Chu Feng had a conflict with Niu Baotian’s son.

"On the same day Chu Yun had her accident, Niu Baotian bought a batch of materials for refining Continuation Pills from the Medicine Guild’s Hall."

If Chu Feng heard Shishi’s words, he would undoubtedly break out in a cold sweat.

The deeds he thought were secret were all uncovered by others.

Upon hearing this, the Qiao Family Head’s eyes lit up.

"Are you saying that both the Continuation Pill and the Puppet Elixir were crafted by Niu Baotian from the Medicine Guild’s Hall?"

"This Niu Baotian is indeed very impressive; he suppressed Qiao Dusi from our Qiao Family just two days ago. It seems I need to visit the Medicine Guild’s Hall immediately and have a talk with Pill Master Niu Baotian."

"No matter the cost, I must get this person on our Qiao Family’s side."

The Qiao Family Head swiftly stood up, preparing to visit Niu Baotian right away.

After listening to Shishi’s analysis, the Qiao Family Head was certain that Niu Baotian was the one who crafted the Puppet Elixir.

"Master, do not be hasty. I believe that the person who refined the elixirs might not necessarily be Niu Baotian. It could very well be Chu Feng," Shishi stated dramatically.

The Qiao Family Head took her opinion very seriously.

Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Oh, why do you think it was Chu Feng who refined them? Chu Feng is merely a disciple of Niu Baotian. If a disciple is so capable, wouldn’t the mentor be even more proficient?"

"I will immediately visit Pill Master Niu Baotian and recruit him to serve our Qiao Family at a high cost; surely that’s the right move."

The Qiao Family Head appeared somewhat anxious, mainly worried that other families might recruit him first.

Shishi bit her thin red lips, her eyes flickering, and eventually she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, don’t you find it strange that Niu Baotian suddenly took Chu Feng as a disciple?"

"Previously, Niu Baotian was not as famously renowned. Moreover, after Chu Feng beat Niu Baotian’s son, he once wrote a prescription for Niu Baotian that could detoxify him."

"It was for this reason that Niu Baotian did not trouble Chu Feng anymore."

The Qiao Family Head’s brows furrowed even tighter. "According to you, Chu Feng is more skilled than Pill Master Niu Baotian? Then why would he take Niu Baotian as his mentor?"

By common sense, competent ones become mentors. If Chu Feng were more skilled, it should be Niu Baotian taking him as a mentor.

Moreover, Chu Feng has always been considered a waste and very young. It is very hard for people to believe he suddenly acquired great skills.
