"Marquis Jing'an, I've long heard of your great name."
The Princely Heir of Prince Cheng, Qin Ziyu, wore a white mink coat as he walked out of the gate of the Prince Mansion, accompanied by a bald giant over two meters tall.
Li Fei immediately noticed this giant.
Dressed in black battle armor, he exuded an aura of fierce prowess, clearly a warrior who could take on thousands in battle!
This was a Martial Arts Master, very likely returning from the Northern Territory.
Prince Cheng valued this son very much, specifically assigning a Martial Arts Master to assist him and help guard the Prince Mansion.
In Lanling City, without a Master Level combat strength, it was indeed hard to speak with authority.
"You are too kind, Princely Heir."
Li Fei calmly watched as Qin Ziyu approached.
Qin Ziyu's smile remained unchanged as he turned to glance at Xi Yuchen, whose legs were broken, and narrowed his eyes.
He had heard of the news 'Xi Yuchen found enlightenment in the snow with a sword' at the mansion and planned to celebrate upon Xi Yuchen's return.
Both being of Tao Foundation Stage Peak combat power, Xi Yuchen was younger than Ji Xiuyong, with higher combat power and greater potential.
Therefore, Qin Ziyu valued this Guest Elder very much, thinking that in a few years, the Prince Mansion might have a second Martial Arts Master seated.
But now, Xi Yuchen's legs were broken.
Moreover, Qin Ziyu heard from the informant that Li Fei defeated and severely injured Xi Yuchen with just one move!
Even Ning Chuan, who is ranked second on the Fengyun Leaderboard now, Qin Ziyu thought he couldn't defeat the recently advanced Xi Yuchen with a single move.
"Has his combat power been restored?"
Qin Ziyu turned back to look at Li Fei, secretly speculating in his heart.
Meanwhile, several cars driving towards the mansion gate parked, and several officials in official garments hurriedly stepped out of their vehicles and rushed over.
"Director Song Jun of Zhi Ge Pavilion's Investigation Department, I have met Marquis Jing'an and Your Highness the Princely Heir."
A middle-aged official, with very small eyes and a somewhat long face, came before Li Fei and Qin Ziyu and greeted them actively.
Previously, the court official of Zhi Ge Pavilion who attempted to assassinate the Emperor at the Heavenly Altar was Wei Hongwen from the Investigation Department, and now Song Jun has taken over this position.
The Director of Zhi Ge Pavilion's Investigation Department is responsible for handling the misconduct of martial artists in Lanling City, a position that requires careful balance.
For example, at this very moment, Song Jun was very reluctant to step in, but he had no choice.
He was a Level 15 official, at the pinnacle of the Fourth Rank Sitting Official.
In terms of rank, he was on the same level as Li Fei, the Blue Patrol Envoy, and more than a level higher than Qin Ziyu, who only held an idle position in Zhi Ge Pavilion.
But in front of the two, he still referred to himself as a subordinate, taking a very low stance.
Neither Marquis Jing'an nor the Princely Heir were to be provoked.
"Lord Song, what is the legal consequence for someone who injures a court official in broad daylight?"
Li Fei didn't waste words and pointed at Xi Yuchen, who was lying on a stretcher, as he asked.
Song Jun's eyes squinted so much they were almost invisible. He first glanced at Xi Yuchen, whose legs were broken, and cautiously asked:
"I don't know which official was injured by this person?"
"I was the one injured,"
Lv Wenxing interjected.
"It turns out to be Lord Lv."
Song Jun carefully observed Lv Wenxing and clasped his hands in greeting.
Both of them worked in Zhi Ge Pavilion and knew each other.
"For what reason was Lord Lv injured by this person?"
"I was driving peacefully when he suddenly struck and cut my car in half."
Lv Wenxing pointed to the car parts scattered on the ground, "I went up to reason with him, and he attacked me, injuring me. Fortunately, Marquis Jing'an happened to pass by and promptly stopped him, otherwise, it might be me with broken legs right now."
Hearing this, Qin Ziyu smiled without saying a word, not in a hurry to refute.
Song Jun nodded and instructed his subordinates to record Lv Wenxing's statement.
Then he looked at Xi Yuchen on the stretcher, his tone equally polite:
"Mr. Xi, why did you attack this Lord Lv?"
At this time, Xi Yuchen had barely recovered from the shock and pain Li Fei inflicted upon him, staring intently at Lv Wenxing:
"He first drove towards me, and I only struck to protect myself."
"Self-defense? You could have completely dodged it, but you chose to strike and destroy my car. If I didn't dodge quickly, I might have been dead! This isn't self-defense; it's attempted murder!"
Lv Wenxing shouted loudly.
Xi Yuchen gritted his teeth. He had exercised restraint in his strike, and even if Lv Wenxing didn't evade, he wouldn't have been injured.
But logically, his best response should have indeed been to dodge, not to directly cut the car.
However, some truths depend on the person and also on the time and place.
Xi Yuchen had just made a breakthrough today, reaching a new pinnacle in life, and it was right outside the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion.
In front of the mansion's people, should he just dodge?
Moreover, Lv Wenxing was the one who provoked initially. If he dodged, it would not only disgrace himself but also the Prince Cheng Mansion!
Even if it repeated, Xi Yuchen would definitely not choose to dodge.
But these words couldn't be said directly.
"Lord Lv, why did you drive towards him?"
Song Jun turned again to ask Lv Wenxing.
Lv Wenxing shook his head: "I didn't intentionally hit him; the car suddenly malfunctioned, and I couldn't stop. Besides, if I really wanted to harm him, would I be foolish enough to drive into him? It would be better if I did it myself."
At this point, Song Jun had almost clarified the situation on the scene.
He smiled and looked at Li Fei and Qin Ziyu:
