The Big Trouble
"Alright, that's it for the Bookstore's opening hours today. See you all next week." After saying this, Ma Feifei hurriedly turned around and ran back to the Bookstore, with Yun Qingyang following behind to close the door.
"What are you standing there for, you idiot? Hurry up and put Clefairy away." Jiang Yibei walked naturally to Jiang Bieli's side and said to Jiang Bieli in a low voice.
Jiang Bieli looked up and found that all the cultivators around him were focused on him. He immediately said "Oh" and quickly put Clefairy into his Poké Ball.
"Come with me," Jiang Yibei said calmly.
If everyone had initially lost interest in the sprite, Ma Feifei's words changed their minds. As the first sprite to arrive on the Azure Dragon Continent, even if its quality was only ordinary, as long as it could grow, it deserved to be remembered.
Especially after everyone saw that Jiang Bieli's cultivation level was only at the Spirit Master Sixth Stage, it would be impossible for them not to have some thoughts of murder and robbery.
This is a fantasy world where strength reigns supreme.
Not everyone can have a Saint protecting them like Ma Feifei.
However, since they were in the city and surrounded by cultivators, everyone simply watched Jiang Bieli leave.
"Wang Xianzhi." On a rooftop not far away, Zhang Wu watched Jiang Bieli leave and said softly.
"Here." Standing beside him was the man in the golden robe who had previously staged the honey trap.
"Before sunrise tomorrow, I want to see all the information about Jiang Bieli, including which inn in Dubian Town he's currently staying at."
"Yes!" Wang Xianzhi replied.
"And another thing," Zhang Wu turned his gaze to the Mysterious Bookstore, a strange look flashing in his eyes, "Have you found out about Ma Feifei's background?"
Wang Xianzhi bowed his head and replied, "According to the investigation, Ma Feifei is the son of the late Viscount Ma Zhiyuan. Ma Zhiyuan years ago, he came to Dubian Town with his father and opened this clinic. According to the neighbors, Ma Feifei was frail and sickly from a young age, taciturn, and rarely went out. He spent all his time at the clinic learning medicine from Ma Zhiyuan. Outsiders knew very little about Ma Feifei."
Five months ago, Ma Zhiyuan passed away. Ma Feifei converted the clinic into the Bookstore it is today. At first, the Bookstore was ignored. It wasn't until Yang Chengzhi became famous in the Dragon Ranking Competition that the Bookstore became known to the world, Ma Feifei also came into the public eye as a result.
"And what about the Bookstore? Have you found anything?" Zhang Wu asked in a deep voice.
Wang Xianzhi shook his head, looking at the closed Bookstore, and said, "The books in the Bookstore all seem to be written by Ma Feifei himself. As for why they possess magical effects, that's even more puzzling. I spent a day observing the Bookstore and didn't find any other forces behind Ma Feifei, and the books in the Bookstore do indeed possess some magical abilities."
It's really strange that an ordinary person suddenly opened a Bookstore one day, and the books in this Bookstore even have all sorts of magical effects. It's impossible for it not to attract attention.
"And what about that Saint?" Zhang Wu asked.
Most importantly, there was that suddenly appearing Saint. If it weren't for the Saint's presence, Ma Feifei's Bookstore would probably have been trampled to pieces by now.
"Some time ago, Ma Feifei and Yang Chengzhi went to Nine Heavens Mountain. According to information provided by passersby, this Saint accompanied them on their return."
"What about Yang Chengzhi? Can we catch him?" Zhang Wu asked.
Currently, in the eyes of outsiders, the people closest to Ma Feifei, besides Gongsun Qiong, are Yang Chengzhi. Therefore, to gain a deeper understanding of Ma Feifei and this Bookstore, the only way is to start with these two. Gongsun Qiong is a no-brainer; as the president of the largest merchant guild in the Great Chu, even Gongsun Qiong Zhang Wu wouldn't dare to touch her. That leaves only Yang Chengzhi. Moreover, Yang Chengzhi, who entered the Nine Heavens Mountain with Ma Feifei, certainly knows the reason behind the news about the Saint.
Wang Xianzhi shook his head and said, "Yang Chengzhi has now been listed as a key student for cultivation by the Zhenguan Academy. It is said that next year he will be asked to participate in the Vast Academy's new student assessment, which is held once every five years. If he passes the assessment, Yang Chengzhi will study at the Vast Academy for five years."
Clearly, Yang Chengzhi, who had made a name for himself, had the Zhenguan Academy as his backing, and was not someone that ordinary people could touch.
"However..." Wang Xianzhi hesitated.
Zhang Wu's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Speak."
Wang Xianzhi lowered his head and whispered, "It is said that Zhou Zhuling, the daughter of the Limitless Spirit Emperor, is very close to Ma Feifei, and their relationship is quite extraordinary."
"Slap!" Zhang Wu slapped Wang Xianzhi across the face and shouted, "You want me to kidnap my superior's daughter?"
"I deserve to die." Wang Xianzhi covered his face, lowered his head, and trembled slightly.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and their conversation fell silent.
A long time.
Zhang Wu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the long street, and said calmly, "How is the Azure Dragon Envoy's recovery going?"
"The opponent's sword energy is astonishing. The Azure Dragon Envoy quite badly injured and will probably not recover for at least three to five months," Wang Xianzhi replied.
"Did the Azure Dragon Envoy give any instructions regarding the Mysterious Bookstore?" Zhang Wu asked.
Wang Xianzhi shook his head and replied, "No, but the Azure Dragon Envoy asked me to tell you that someone in the organization is protecting Ma Feifei, and their position is not low, at least the Thirty-Six Envoys or above."
"Oh~" Zhang Wu suddenly realized, reaching out to brush a strand of hair from his temple. A slight smile played on his lips as he said in a slightly teasing tone, "So the one who injured the Azure Dragon Envoy must also be someone from the organization?"
Wang Xianzhi an awkward smile; he dared not respond to such a remark.
"I have a pill refined by Teacher Huang, which has a great therapeutic effect on healing injuries. Why don't you take me to see the Azure Dragon Envoy, and let me personally deliver this pill to the Azure Dragon Envoy to heal his injuries? How about that?" A small bottle appeared in Zhang Wu's hand without anyone noticing.
Wang Xianzhi took a step back, bowed ninety degrees, and said, "My lord, please don't make things difficult for me. I don't know the exact location of the Azure Dragon Envoy's hiding place. Please forgive me."
"Hmph!" Zhang Wu snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the bottle in his hand disappeared into thin air. He then jumped off the roof.
Wang Xianzhi raised his head, watching Zhang Wu walk away, his eyes filled with malice.
In early winter, darkness falls quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sky was already overcast. Wang Xianzhi glanced at the Mysterious Bookstore, jumped down, and headed towards the center of Dubian Town.
The reason Ma Feifei hurriedly closed the Bookstore was mainly because he had received a notification from the system.
And it happened two in a row!
