The Last Three Days, Listening to Music in the Brothel

[Year 12, when performing light footwork, a hundred meters are covered in an instant, Fleeting Light Shadow breaks through to Major Accomplishment!]

[Year 20, your light footwork is as light as a feather, you can travel with the wind, leaving no trace on snow, Fleeting Light Shadow breaks through to Perfection!]

[Cultivation results feedback...]

Su Fei's toes touched the ground, and his figure instantly turned into an afterimage, darting through the courtyard.

He sometimes stepped on the edge of the stone bench, and sometimes swept over the wall, as if merging with the surrounding night.

With this perfected light footwork, "System, I have twenty years of cultivation power left, upgrade the Nine Yang Divine Art."

[Year 1, you refined your True Qi, the True Qi in your Dantian became more condensed, showing signs of liquefaction.]

[Year 10, you have been cultivating day and night, your realm is stable, and the True Qi within your body surges like rivers and seas.]

[Year 13, you mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cleanse your meridians, and the Nine Yang Divine Art has made some progress!]

[Year 20, after such a long period of arduous cultivation, you have become more adept at using the Nine Yang Divine Art, but you are still a little short of the Grandmaster Realm.]

[Cultivation results feedback...]

A surge of majestic True Qi merged into Su Fei's body.

A wave of comfort spread throughout his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed and disappeared.

Xiantian Realm Ninth Layer!

Su Fei clenched his fist, clearly feeling the surging True Qi within him. At this level of True Qi, he was not far from the Grandmaster Realm.

He looked up at the night sky, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

He almost forgot, there was a threshold to break through from the Xiantian Realm to the Grandmaster Realm. Ordinary Xiantian Realm Ninth Layer martial artists needed to go through great hardships to break through.

It seemed he would need to prepare more cultivation power for the next breakthrough.

With his current strength, although he was not yet a Grandmaster, he had improved countless times compared to his past self.

He could kill his Xiantian Realm Eighth Layer self in one move without any problem.

Even if he encountered a Grandmaster Realm expert, Su Fei felt he had a chance to fight.

In Qingzhou, apart from a few individuals, he didn't need to fear anyone.

Time to sleep.

He didn't have to be on duty for the next three days.

What to do?

He'd call Wang Meng and the other strongmen under him to go listen to music at the entertainment district.

Anyway, Su Fei wasn't short of money now, and he'd pick the best girls.

Just as Su Fei was enjoying himself.

Two memorial reports, one after the other, departed from Qingzhou, and the martial rider riders delivered them to the Great Xuan Imperial City at an extremely urgent speed.

Great Xuan Imperial City, Southern Commander's Office of the Imperial Guard.

Commander Lei Chongxiao, wearing the official uniform of a fourth-rank military officer, sat at his desk, with a memorial report placed before him.

The words "Qingzhou Urgent Report" in vermilion on the cover were particularly eye-catching.

He opened the memorial report, quickly scanned the contents, and his brows gradually relaxed, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up.

The memorial report was written in neat handwriting, and the opening directly stated the important matter.

Zhao Feiying, the deputy commander of the Qingzhou Army, had rebelled, colluded with the White Lotus Sect to illegally sell arms, assisted them in their rebellion, and even attempted to poison the Commander Long Teng, in an effort to control the Qingzhou Army.

Reading further down were the specific details, all of them were details of Su Fei's case-solving.

From finding traces of the Gale Crossbow in the Chen Family annihilation case, to sensing the suspicious cause of Li Yan's death while investigating in the Qingzhou Army camp.

Then, finding the Fufang Street address in Li Yan's residence, and finally apprehending the person in charge of the White Lotus Sect's stronghold at the Mourning Hall, and then exposing Zhao Feiying's conspiracy.

Between the lines, there was all praise for the Imperial Guard General Banner Officer Su Fei, calling him insightful, swift in solving cases, and having thwarted a shocking conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect, truly a pillar of the Imperial Guard.

Lei Chongxiao became happier the more he read.

"Good, good Su Fei."

"To have such courage and ability at such a young age is truly rare. Qingzhou has produced a remarkable talent."

Just then, a report came from outside the door.

"My lord, General Chen from the Ministry of War is visiting."

Lei Chongxiao was slightly surprised. Although the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guard were both violent institutions of Great Xuan, they had always performed their duties separately, with little interaction between them.

The Imperial Guard also had the responsibility of monitoring the entire realm.

Therefore, their relationships with each other were not very harmonious, and they didn't interact much.

He hurriedly got up and went out to greet them.

"General Chen, what important matter brings you here?"

The visitor was a middle-aged general in armor, who was none other than Chen Wu, one of the military's commanding generals.

The two had never had any dealings before.

Seeing Lei Chongxiao arrive, Chen Wu spoke proactively and very politely.

"Greetings, Lord Lei. I've heard much about you. I've taken the liberty of coming today regarding a matter in Qingzhou."

"Oh, Qingzhou? General Chen, please tell me what it is."

As he spoke, he took out a memorial and handed it to Lei Chongxiao.

"This is an urgent memorial from Long Teng, the Commander of the Qingzhou Army. He highly praises an Imperial Guard General Banner Officer named Su Fei, stating that not only did he crack the arms smuggling case in a short period, but he also arrived in time to defeat Zhao Feiying when the traitor poisoned and attempted to murder him."

"Furthermore, he used his internal energy to detoxify Su Fei, saving his life. The memorial also states that Su Fei's contributions were indispensable in solving the arms smuggling case and requests that the military department commend him."

After speaking, Chen Wu smiled somewhat sheepishly.

"That old fellow Long Teng must be confused. Su Fei is from the Imperial Guard, how can the military department commend him? But that old fellow has some merits, so I've come to bother you, Lord Lei, and ask for your help in figuring this out."

Lei Chongxiao took the memorial and read it. Indeed, it was very similar to Feng Changqing's memorial, except that Long Teng's report focused more on Su Fei's battle against Zhao Feiying in the military camp and his detoxification, with the text full of gratitude.

"It seems this Su Fei has indeed made considerable contributions."

Chen Wu continued.

"Lord Lei, although the military department and the Imperial Guard each have their own duties, our intentions to protect the country and bring peace are the same."

"Su Fei's actions have not only thwarted the White Lotus Sect's plot but also preserved the foundation of the Qingzhou Army. It would be best if the Imperial Guard were to heavily reward Su Fei."

Chen Wu spoke earnestly.

"If Lord Lei is willing to help, then in the future, when Imperial Guard members from various parts of Great Xuan handle official business in the army, we in the army should cooperate more."

Upon hearing this, a more enthusiastic smile appeared on Lei Chongxiao's face, and he nodded in agreement.

"General Chen's words are very true. I was thinking the same thing. Since Su Fei is part of the Imperial Guard, he should naturally be rewarded by my department. The military department can assist, and we can then petition His Majesty for approval, so he can serve the court well."

Chen Wu was overjoyed to hear this.

Lei Chongxiao, the Southern Commander of the Imperial Guard, and Chen Wu discussed for a long time in the room before Chen Wu left the Southern Commander's Office of the Imperial Guard, fully satisfied.

Afterward, Lei Chongxiao took the two memorials and went directly to the imperial palace.

Time always passes quickly when enjoying oneself. In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

This morning, Su Fei arrived at the Thousand Households Office early for duty. His colleagues at the office all knew that Su Fei had made contributions and was about to be promoted.

Regardless of whether they knew Su Fei or not, everyone greeted him proactively when they saw him.

Facing these people's goodwill, Su Fei did not become arrogant and simply nodded in response.

There hadn't been many cases in the past few days, so he was enjoying the peace and quiet.
