Why are you dawdling around here?” He Bibiqu gnashed his teeth. His hands were shaking, itching to hit someone.
“If I could find him, would I be here bothering you? Who knows where that scoundrel has gone off to sleep?”
“Then why did you call off the mission?”
“He said he was too tired, that’s his excuse. He’s clearly pulling the wool over our eyes, definitely some sudden change of circumstances. He made up this lame excuse at the last minute!”
“Damn, if you know all this, why are you bringing trouble to me about Wu Tiejun? It’s clear you’re here to plead his case!” He Bibiqu was fuming.
These two idiots were trying to fool him as if he was one of those simple-minded soldiers.
“I would never plead for that son of a bitch Wu Tiejun!”
Fei Xinyu lifted his head: “He didn’t report in, so of course I had to kiss up to you. Just in case Wu Tiejun gets demoted to a foot soldier, it’s a good investment for me to start buttering you up now, it could help me climb the ranks.”
“Climb the ranks my ass!”
He Bibiqu cursed: “A piece of trash like you trying to advance? Maybe in your next life! You’re decent in all other respects, kid, so why did you have to open your mouth? Go sew your mouth shut, then come find me!”
Before his words had fallen, he angrily flung his sleeve, turned back into his room, and slammed the door shut with a bang.
Fei Xinyu rolled his eyes and raised his arm, shouting: “Wu Tiejun, that bastard isn’t sleeping here. Brothers, let’s go find him somewhere else! Come on, let’s go. I’ll take you to Piaoxiang Building, Wu Tiejun must be there, sleeping off his lust on some woman’s belly!”
“Yeah!”
“Hahaha, the Captain must be having fun there, let’s go, let’s go, don’t be late!”
“We can’t let Captain Wu hog all the fun!”
Under Fei Xinyu’s leadership, the group vanished without a trace as quickly as a drop of water on a hot pan.
He Bibiqu was left panting heavily in anger.
I don’t blame you for cancelling the mission at the last minute. Since you cancelled it, there must be a good reason for it.
Once I know the reason, all will be good.
And avoiding casualties is always a good thing,
But what’s the deal with you two idiots trying to fool me?
No matter what’s going on, I still have to relay the news immediately.
“The mission is cancelled.”
A moment later, the three stars of Tiannan came back with gloomy faces: “The news has been delivered.”
“How did it go?”
“How could it go, we were scolded so badly.” Their faces twitched with shame.
All those in charge of the various departments stationed in Tiannan were no ordinary people.
They were not only highly skilled, tactical, efficient in handling matters, but also ruthless killers and incessant cursers who came from military backgrounds.
When it came to the ability to insult, belittle, and provoke people, they were not much worse than Fei Xinyu. Usually, they had to maintain their dignity, but this opportunity provided them with the chance to really let loose. Besides, this situation was indeed mishandled on their part, so they had to take the scolding!
Just a moment ago, the three stars of Tiannan were instructing them to start the mission. But in the blink of an eye, they cancelled it…
The interval was very short, less than half an hour.
Although the time was short, it was long enough for the officers to arrange everything. As soon as the tasks were assigned and orders given, the three stars of Tiannan came in to say that the mission was cancelled.
This profound anger, how could it be small?
They scolded the three stars of Tiannan into a bloody state. Even He Bibiqu, who they usually respected, was greeted thoroughly from top to bottom.
Although the scolding was not direct, He Bibiqu’s face was hot.
These bastards dare to scold me!
Just wait and see. When I get the chance, I’ll teach them a lesson!
The real problem now is, what the hell is going on with Wu Tiejun?
He canceled such a big mission without informing me. What’s the big deal?
He Bibiqu didn’t sleep all night, brooding and speculating, waiting all the while.
He knew Wu Tiejun would give him a reasonable explanation. He didn’t doubt that for a second.
But until the explanation arrived, his mind couldn’t be at ease, so he had to wait.
At long last, Wu Tiejun returned.
Captain Wu crept up to He Bibiqu’s door with great mystery and caution, alert and ready.
He lowered his voice: “Is the boss here?”
Before he could finish, he was grabbed by the neck by He Bibiqu and pulled inside: “Here, my ass! What the hell are you doing? Even in my presence, you’re as sneaky as a rat?”
He Bibiqu had practically spat all over Wu Tiejun’s face.
Wu Tiejun chuckled, regardless of being cursed; his face was filled with excitement. Just like he was enjoying the scolding, completely absorbed, never getting tired.
Only when He Bibiqu had calmed down a bit, did he speak: “Boss, there’s great news.”
“What good news? You cheeky lad, you’ve become so audacious that you can call off such a big operation at will…”
He Bibiqu was at a loss, then suddenly widened his eyes: “You didn’t find Physician Feng, did you?”
“No.”
Wu Tiejun shook his head like a tambourine.
He Bibiqu gave him a sideways glance: “Then what are you so happy about? I really can’t think of any good news big enough to cause you to halt the mission.”
“It was Physician Feng who found me, isn’t that good news!” Wu Tiejun said.
“Bang!”
Wu Tiejun was kicked and slumped against a wall, sliding down. He Bibiqu was seething with anger, “What the hell is the difference? You messing with me?”
“My lord, your understanding is incorrect.”
Wu Tiejun insisted earnestly, “There’s a difference between passive and active. How can they be the same? They’re vastly different, as different as heaven and earth.”
“Son of a -!”
He Bibiqu’s nostrils flared, and he was suddenly tempted to draw his sword.
Couldn’t this bastard speak properly to him just like the old times? What happened to the dull blockheaded guy with the thick eyebrows and big eyes?
“Where is Physician Feng? Is he safe? What exactly happened? Speak up, if you’ve got something to say then spill the beans!”
“My lord, your understanding is incorrect. On your presence, I’m allowed to speak, but dare I not to fart. That’s more of Fei Xinyu’s habit, being disrespectful and reckless.”
“Son of a -!”
He Bibiqu half-drew his sword with a clatter, his rage showing through his glaring eyes.
This bastard must be in good spirits to be able to joke around with him. But I don’t have the patience to humor you when I’m this anxious!
The Tiannan Triad was standing guard nearby, rolling their eyes and staring at the ceiling in exasperation.
If you really have the balls, then dispatch him with one swift stroke. We definitely won’t interfere. In fact, we’d applaud and cheer you on, calling you a true man!
Playing the part for who? Everyone knows that he’s your favorite, don’t they?
This guy who looks thick-browed, big-eyed, and simple on the surface, but is actually as complicated as a sesame seed inside a white dumpling – what’s so endearing about him?
“My lord, there’s good news, very good news.”
Wu Tiejun chuckled and delivered the good news, then he became serious: “This is a very important matter, we need to guard against eavesdroppers, so these three …”
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
The Tiannan Triad members, without further ado, kicked Wu Tiejun savagely one by one before leaving in a huff: “Wu Tiejun, you’ve got guts! You just wait for me!”
This son of a bitch is too irritating, they can’t stand it without kicking him.
And he dared to drive us away.
We swear to avenge this humiliation! We will not rest until we get even!
He Bibiqu sighed, his face a mix of helplessness and exasperation.
If not even the Tiannan Triad is trustworthy, then there is nobody left in the entire Tiannan District that I can trust. Has Wu Tiejun gone mad today?
I may value you, Wu Tiejun, but in terms of trust, the Tiannan Triad still ranks above you. Who gave you the confidence to say this is so important and talk about eavesdroppers?!
Wu Tiejun looked calm and composed as he climbed up from the ground.
He knew that he had offended others again, but he had no choice. The conclusions drawn from this matter were just too significant – even the Tiannan Triad had to be driven out.
Trust is one thing.
But some things are better left known to as few people as possible.
This was Wu Tiejun’s unchanging belief, all the way from the start.
“What the hell happened?”
He Bibiqu felt as though he had sighed enough for a lifetime just this evening.
“Here’s the thing…”
Wu Tiejun brought out a jade vial from his robes: “Physician Feng’s medicine, after several attempts at concocting it, has been successfully produced again. There are six pills in total, and five are here in this vial. Mr. Feng kept only one…”
Wu Tiejun whispered, “These five pills are likely to fundamentally change the condition of your body and internal injuries… At the very least, even if they can’t completely cure the Ice and Snow Cold Poison, they can alleviate its symptoms… I conjecture, for at least the next three to five years, you can be in your best state of cultivation, use your full strength without worry.”
“I believe… this is the most valuable secret that we, the men in blue of the Tiannan District, should keep right now.”
He Bibiqu’s eyes were glued to the small jade vial; the flush of excitement spread across his face.
Despite his age and his calm and composed demeanor, he knew himself best – if there was no way to counteract the Ice and Snow Cold Poison, his life wouldn’t last more than three years max!
Once the injury flares up, extreme cold will burst forth from the inside out, turning him into an ice sculpture, completely frozen to death.
Previously, thanks to the elixir provided by Feng Yin, his injuries had improved. But after the calculated ordeal with Miao Sensen, although he escaped by a hair’s breadth, the elixir’s potency to suppress the cold poison was almost depleted, leaving the specter of death looming over him.
Furthermore, Feng Yin’s disappearance made matters worse, intensifying his psychological pressure!
But now that he heard that Feng Yin has reappeared and that there are five medicinal pills in his possession, all these hidden dangers are suddenly obliterated.
Even if the potency of these five elixirs does not live up to Wu Tiejun’s estimate and they can’t fully expel the Ice and Snow Cold Poison, as long as he knows where Feng Yin is, he can always make more. This time, five were made all at once, which clearly indicates a major improvement in the concoction of the medicine.
In this calculation, starting from this moment, he need not worry about the so-called constraints of the Ice and Snow Cold Poison.
This life bond is finally to be broken!
Shadow of Death, get out!
“Excellent!”
He Bibiqu took the jade vial. He tried to control his excitement and be composed, but his body still involuntarily trembled slightly.
