Another Epic-grade Book
The sudden turn of events left everyone bewildered, staring blankly at Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang as they emerged.
They had been keeping watch on this Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two for several days, taking turns day and night. They knew exactly how many people were there, and even how many flies could sneak in through the crack in the door.
But now, two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, as if they had appeared out of thin air, and they even knocked the butler away. No one knows where he flew off to or if he can be saved.
Prime Minister Di Heyu was even more shocked. To climb to the position of Qin State, one needs more than just intelligence; one must also have strength. As a Spirit Emperor, he had already used his divine sense to investigate the small shop when he arrived, and there was no sign of life fluctuations inside.
However, reality slapped him hard in the face. At that moment, he even doubted whether his cultivation at the Spirit Emperor realm was real.
"Are you their leader?" While Di Heyu was lost in thought, Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang had already walked out of the Bookstore and stood on the steps, looking at Di Heyu. Among the entire criminal gang, only this old man stood out in terms of clothing, temperament, and even cultivation level. It would be easy to identify who the leader was.
"It is indeed I." Di Heyu tightened his long robe, his expression serious, exuding the air of a superior.
Ma Feifei frowned. This old man was a bit stubborn! Not only did he bring me here late at night to smash up my shop, but when I caught him red-handed, he didn't even apologize. Instead, he acted like he was in a superior position, which was really unpleasant.
"Tell me, why did you smash my shop?" Ma Feifei glanced at the servants around the old man. Their strength was all at the Spirit Venerable and Spirit King levels, and there were also a few Spirit Ancestor Sect errand boys. It seemed that their background was not low. He wondered which royal or noble family they belonged to.
"Hmm?" Di Heyu frowned as well, equally uncomfortable with Ma Feifei's accusatory tone. Who was he Di Heyu? The Great Qin, the third most powerful figure in the Qin State, a man who could be considered at the pinnacle of the Azure Dragon Continent, yet he was being looked down upon by this mere young boy. How could he not be angry?
However, Di Heyu knew this shop was unlikely to be simple. To avoid causing trouble, he suppressed his temper and said in a deep voice, "Summon your master. Tell him that Prime Minister Di Heyu of the Great Qin requests an audience."
Now that his identity has been revealed, the owner of this shop should surely give him some face, right? After all, this is the Qin State, and within Qin State borders, even a great figure at the Spirit Saint realm would have to show him respect.
"That's me. What can I do for you?" Ma Feifei became interested and looked at Di Heyu with great interest. Last time, a Qin State came, and today a Qin State came. How come her little shop is so popular before it's even opened for business? It's a bit strange!
Jingxing's successful Rain Dance Jing Xing was known to Ma Feifei, and the "Eight Formations Diagram" reward from the mission was also stored in Ma Feifei's mind. However, in principle, such a secret should be kept to oneself, right? Who would be so bored as to say that they succeeded in Rain Dance because they learned it from a book in some small shop? That would just lower their own standards!
"You?" Di Heyu looked at Ma Feifei, his eyes full of doubt. He couldn't tell Ma Feifei's cultivation level, but he could guess his age—around twenty. How high could someone that age be? How could he possibly be a powerful figure who could teach people the secret art of summoning wind and rain?
"What? You don't believe me?" Seeing Ma Feifei Di Heyu didn't believe him, Ma Feifei shrugged and secretly winked at Yun Qingyang. After receiving a response from Yun Qingyang, he pointed his finger to the sky.
"Rain is coming!"
Di Heyu and his men were startled and instinctively looked up at the sky.
"Smack~"
Suddenly, a bucket of water flew horizontally towards Di Heyu Pu. Because Di Heyu were looking up, they didn't have time to react and the water splashed directly on them, soaking them to the bone.
Di Heyu was dumbfounded, as were all his subordinates, who stared blankly at Ma Feifei.
"Didn't I tell you to make it rain? Why did you even bring out a bucket?"
"I only freeze and snow, I don't rain."
"Then why don't you just pour it into the air! Who pours it horizontally onto people like that... Is that how the rain falls in your area?"
"Shall we Encore?"
"..."
Encore? You're so adorably Yun Qingyang, didn't you see that murderous glint in my eyes? Do you think I'm stupid? You think I'd let you splash me again?
"Smack~"
Ma Feifei subconsciously looked up and saw Yun Qingyang suddenly run into the sky and then splash a bucket of water at Di Heyu. This time, Di Heyu didn't even have time to react!
"Holy crap, grandpa, aren't you slapping me in the face?" Ma Feifei looked at Di Heyu with disdain and said, "This is the Qin State, right? I can understand if you didn't react when you were splashed with water the first time, but getting splashed a second time is a bit much, isn't it? I seriously suspect you're trying to scam me!"
Di Heyu's face shifted from surprise and bewilderment to Rage after Ma Feifei's words, then turned grim as he roared, "This is utterly outrageous! Seize them!"
At this moment Di Heyu no longer cared about anything else; he only had one thought: to kill the person who had insulted him!
"Yes!" The family retainers, who had been waiting in ambush, all activated their Spiritual Power and rushed towards Ma Feifei.
Yun Qingyang, back beside Ma Feifei, frowned and was about to step forward when Ma Feifei stopped her, took the wooden bucket from her hands, and said, "Let me do it!"
Apart from the old man who had the cultivation of Spirit Emperor, everyone else in front of him was trash. Ma Feifei hadn't fought in a long time and was itching for a fight, so he channeled all his Power of Faith and charged towards them from the wooden barrel.
"Bang bang bang~"
"Clang clang clang~"
"Da da da~"
A fierce and evenly matched battle ensued, ultimately ending with Ma Feifei emerging victorious.
"Boom~"
Suddenly, a powerful force struck Ma Feifei from behind.
However, before it could even get close to Ma Feifei, the power vanished. Immediately afterward, a muffled groan was heard. Ma Feifei turned to look and saw Di Heyu lying on the ground, being trampled by Yun Qingyang...
"Take your foot away! This is the Prime Minister of Qin State! How can you treat him like this?" Ma Feifei dropped the wooden bucket and ran over, moved Yun Qingyang's leg away, and then began to grope Di Heyu's body.
"Your Excellency, I'm so sorry, my friend was a bit too heavy-handed, please don't mind..." Ma Feifei said, taking a belt with him.
"But Prime Minister, you really are something else. If you wanted to see me, you could have come during the day. Who comes knocking on the door at night, and even banging on it?" Ma Feifei took a jade pendant with him.
"Smashing the door, to put it mildly, is vandalism; to put it more seriously, it shows a lack of character. Character is something that needs to be taken seriously, don't you think, Your Excellency?" Ma Feifei finally touched the spatial ring, pulled it from Di Heyu, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ma Feifei, I got a share too!" Yun Qingyang said urgently from behind.
Ma Feifei waved his hand and pointed to the group of people lying on the ground beside him, saying, "You get a share too. Go and take their spatial bags first, and we'll split it 50/50 later. Right now, I need to give the Prime Minister a good lesson in morality."
At this point, Ma Feifei patted Di Heyu on the shoulder and continued, "Don't worry, my greatest strength is that I like to persuade people with virtue, and I'm happy to help those who have gone astray to repent and start anew. Wait a moment, okay?"
After Ma Feifei finished speaking, he ran to the Bookstore entrance in a flash, squatted down and rummaged through his spatial ring, taking out a stack of papers and several calligraphy brushes.
Then he fell into a daze again, but after a while he recovered, ran into the Bookstore, and walked out after a while, carrying a black-covered book.
Ma Feifei scooped up the paper and pen from the ground, grabbed the black-covered book, and ran downstairs. Looking at the group of people on the ground, he used his Spiritual Power to shoot the paper and pen out one by one, which landed right in front of them.
"Well, I have a book here. If you understand it, you can return to the original essence of humanity. I'll read a sentence now, and you'll read it aloud and copy it down. Do you understand?" Ma Feifei said seriously, a ruler appearing in his hand at some point.
The servants exchanged bewildered glances, finally turning their attention to Di Heyu.
Di Heyu's face was already very unpleasant, but being subdued with a single kick just now made him realize that he had run into a troublemaker today.
"Young brother, release me, and I'll pretend tonight's events never happened." The woman had clearly reached the Spirit Saint realm, and was no lower than the fifth level. Although Di Heyu was the Prime Minister, he didn't want to provoke such a powerful figure. Now, he could only accept his bad luck.
"Smack~"
The ruler struck Di Heyu's arm directly.
"Hiss!"
Di Heyu's face was contorted in pain. The ruler didn't break any bones, but the pain was excruciating, even though he used his Spiritual Power to protect his body.
"It's class time now, don't use your status to intimidate the teacher, understand?" Ma Feifei waved the ruler in her hand seriously, seemingly waiting for Di Heyu to resist.
Di Heyu covered his arm, remained silent for a while, and finally picked up the brush, looking down at the paper on the ground without saying a word.
Seeing this, the servants around them naturally Copycat.
"Good coordination. Now, everyone, repeat after me." Ma Feifei was very satisfied. He took out a Grand Tutor Chair from his spatial ring, sat down, opened the black-covered book, and recited with great expression. "At the beginning of life, man is inherently good."
