Just after offending a Cheng Prince Mansion, showing no sign of restraint, he went on to offend a powerful prince and the entire Righteous Law Pavilion!
Li Fei had only ever seen one such reckless person before....
He Jian's unwavering determination, unafraid of authority, reminded Li Fei of Hao Yi's shadow.
So upon learning the entire story, he didn't hesitate to stand up for He Jian!
He Jian remained silent and in the end did not thank Li Fei.
The old man coughed a few times, then lowered his head to continue looking at the dossier in his hand:
"In the grand assembly five days from now, there will be a result for the three major cases. As long as there's a breakthrough in any one of these cases, there should also be a result for the Heavenly Altar assassination case."
Li Fei nodded: "He Daren."
He Jian looked up at him.
"Have you ever thought that perhaps the New Heaven Association is using us to continuously expose problems within the court, thereby causing chaos in the court?"
Li Fei voiced his inner dilemma.
He Jian looked at him without a hint of hesitation in his eyes:
"I am only responsible for investigating the case, only responsible for bringing the discovered clues and exposed truth to light. As for how the case will be judged and the issues resolved, it's up to the big figures above to consider."
Li Fei: "What if this truth could be exploited by someone?"
He Jian met his gaze, the determination in his profound eyes unwavering:
"But the truth is there, and when I see it, I will not disregard it."
Li Fei held the elder's gaze for a moment, then smiled again.
From start to finish, the elder remained steadfast in only one thing: unveiling the evils he witnessed!
That was his duty, and he was beyond reproach in fulfilling it.
Li Fei extended his hand to He Jian, "Please give me your hand."
He Jian was momentarily startled, but still trusted enough to extend his right hand.
Li Fei gently grasped his wrist, and a faint blue light spread from Li Fei's body to He Jian's.
He Jian felt invigorated, as if being immersed in a hot spring during a cold winter, feeling comforted from the inside out.
The internal injuries that hadn't healed yet were recovering at an extremely fast pace!
Furthermore, his long-exhausted heart and spirit were also rejuvenating in tandem!
Previously, Xi Yuchen had severely injured him, inflicting not only physical wounds but also damage to his heart and spirit.
The harm to his heart and spirit was caused by Tao Power, which ordinary medicine could not heal. Coupled with He Jian never properly recuperating, consuming a great deal of heart power daily to investigate cases, the state of his heart and spirit deteriorated.
This was a major reason why he had aged so much in just a few months.
Now, what Li Fei was using on He Jian was his fourth core-level extraordinary ability—Green Divine.
He could not only heal the body but also the heart and spirit.
The 'Five Phases Reversal Technique' primarily functions to reverse anomalies of the body or implant, and physical disabilities are certainly a type of anomaly, which can be reversed to a normal state before injury.
But using the 'Five Phases Reversal Technique' for healing is inefficient, with slower healing speed and greater exertion on oneself.
The same injury, with the 'Five Phases Reversal Technique', might take over ten minutes and consume a significant amount of force to 'reverse'.
But with the 'Green Divine', just one minute, consuming very little force and implant power, can complete the healing.
However, if it's an abnormal condition of the body, like muscle sclerosis or dilated meridians, the 'Green Divine' is ineffective, as these are not injuries and cannot be treated, requiring the 'Five Phases Reversal Technique' for reversal.
This is 'matching specialties'.
A few minutes later, He Jian's internal injuries healed, and his spirit refreshed, leaving him looking vigorous and energetic.
Li Fei ceased using the 'Green Divine' and withdrew his hand.
He stood up and smiled at He Jian, saying:
"Lord He, focus on investigating the case; I'll handle the rest."
Having said that, he turned and left.
He Jian's answer also solidified his own determination.
The other's pursuit is to uncover the truth, while his pursuit is—
To have no regrets in this life!
He Jian watched Li Fei's back, his serious face breaking into a smile.
He placed the now-read dossier on the left, then pulled a new one from the stack on the right, continuing his study.
On the desk, the already-read dossiers on the left had formed a small mountain.
And the unread dossiers on the right were equally a small mountain.
The wind blew through the window.
Another page of the dossier in He Jian's hand turned.
The first grand assembly of the forty-eighth year of Hong Guang's reign convened.
At 7:30 in the morning, the doors to the square outside the Zhenglan Hall opened, and a crowd of officials flowed in, entering the square and proceeding towards the Zhenglan Hall.
It had been snowing heavily every day lately, but there wasn't a hint of accumulated snow on the square.
In front, the Zhenglan Hall, the white snow fell on the eaves, on the glittering tiles, quickly melting away, and likewise, not covering the great hall's roof with accumulated snow.
This grand hall remained magnificently resplendent and imposing throughout all four seasons!
Over a hundred officials successively ascended the steps.
This was the first grand assembly of the year, and the shocking three major cases might have a result today.
Thus, the officials attending today's grand assembly wore heavy expressions.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the rear crowd, with many officials turning to look.
At the entrance to the square, stood a golden figure, standing out from among the many officials clad in blue official robes.
The newcomer was none other than Marquis Jing'an—Li Fei!
