"If anyone still has any objections to me, step forward. There’s the door! You can leave at any time!"
After Ren Feifan finished speaking, the entire Holy Gate became nearly silent, as if you could hear a pin drop.
Even those who held contempt for the Holy Leader like Li Anjun, no longer dared to voice any displeasure. The scene previously was enough to prove just how terrifying the current Holy Leader is.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, nor measure the sea with a pint pot, might just be the best explanation.
All of them were certain, once they leave the Holy Gate, they will never find another sect to replace it.
Though the Holy Gate has only been established for a few short months, and their sect leader is frighteningly young, it further underlines how formidable the Holy Gate is!
In just a few months’ time, the Holy Gate has already become akin to the first-rate sects of the ordinary world!
The youth of the Holy Leader signifies the boundless possibilities of the Holy Gate!
Throughout all Huaxia, which sect has such a young sect leader? Which sect has gained such strength in such a short amount of time?
Not even something remotely close!
So, for a whole five minutes, the Holy Gate was enveloped in enduring silence. Not a single person had the desire to leave, and at this moment everyone was making considerations in their hearts.
That is, never leave the Holy Gate!
Furthermore, never dare to go against the will of the Holy Leader!
The long silence finally passed, Ren Feifan retracted his arm and said solemnly, "If no one chooses to quit, then from now on, you must obey the Holy Gate! From now on, if we discover anyone not obeying, they will be expelled from the Holy Gate. Serious offenders will be executed directly! Remember there’s no room for negotiation!
Also, the Holy Gate will soon establish a penal code and an extreme supervision system, which will be led by Yuan Hanqing. You may voice your objections."
Upon hearing Yuan Hanqing’s name, everyone understood that she was a woman of low cultivation. Their faces showed a hint of envy, but they still did not dare to disobey because the examples were right in front of their eyes. If they were annoying, they would be doomed.
Seeing that no one objected, Ren Feifan turned and left immediately, heading for Xu Shihan’s room.
Ever since he set the formation, he had made efforts to block out any disturbances in their rooms. How was Xu Shihan’s cultivation faring now, he wondered?
Ren Feifan pushed open the door to Xu Shihan’s room, only to find that it was empty. But he soon heard the sound of running water.
Was Xu Shihan taking a bath?
His gaze quickly drifted towards the bathroom, where he witnessed a heart-racing scene.
"Don’t peek, don’t peek," he muttered, but his eyes were wide open.
It had been some days since he last had a conversation with Xu Shihan, wasn’t it...?
However, on second thought, Xu Shihan was technically his wife now, shouldn’t he have some respect for her?
As there will be plenty of time in the future, he can afford to wait.
Just as Ren Feifan was about to leave, a clear voice came from the bathroom. "You’re here so soon? Didn’t you say we weren’t going to bath together?"
Ren Feifan paused for a moment, not sure what to say.
He had never said they would bathe together, had he? Although he seemed to have mentioned something along those lines before...
"Hurry up and get undressed, the water’s still warm," Xu Shihan urged..
His wife was a little too direct.
However, Ren Feifan had always been a man who listened to his wife, so he took off his clothes without any hesitation.
Soon, he felt a chill creeping over his body.
Xu Shihan seemed to have heard his movements, she quickly said, "Come on in, let me scrub your back."
A smile crossed Ren Feifan’s face. It seemed he had found himself a good wife, who took the initiative to scrub her husband’s back. Not bad, not bad at all.
He went straight into the bathroom, saw the steam rising from the bath, and quickly pulled open the door.
Xu Shihan’s head was covered in foam as she massaged her hair; her eyes were closed, evidently to avoid the foam getting in.
Ren Feifan swallowed, his gaze drifting from Xu Shihan’s elongated legs up to her proud jade rabbits, causing him to become disgracefully aroused.
"Cui Ying, could you help me scrub my back?" Xu Shihan extended a wet towel towards him.
It was then that Ren Feifan realised Xu Shihan had meant Cui Ying, but he was already in too deep to back out now.
He took the towel gently from Xu Shihan’s hands, and began to wipe her back for her. However, Xu Shihan soon began to feel uncomfortable and quickly stiffened.
She knew this thing all too well.
She turned around and came face to face with Ren Feifan.
In the past, Xu Shihan would have screamed immediately, but now, her eyes only widened slightly in shock for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
There’s nothing to fear.
"Feifan, could you scrub a little gently? Also, how did you get in? I thought it was Cui Ying. Cui Ying just said she wanted to take a bath with me.""
Ren Feifan didn’t expect Xu Shihan to be so calm. He swallowed and then proceeded to dutifully scrub her back.
After a while, Ren Feifan weakly said, "Um... Wife, I’ve finished scrubbing."
It was only then that Xu Shihan seemed to come to a realisation, and she blushed all over.
And so, the two of them bathed for a full hour in the bathroom.
Except for the last step, everything that was supposed to happen had quietly happened.
Ren Feifan left Xu Shihan’s room looking relieved, wondering when Shihan would be able to break through to the third level, as he was looking forward to practising every day.
Xu Shihan had been stuck on the second level of Nine Yin Profound skill for quite some time now, she should be close to making a breakthrough.
By that evening, Ren Feifan finally received a message from the Holy Gate disciples who were out on expedition.
According to their investigation, someone knew of Du Haizhi’s whereabouts. The Holy Gate disciples managed to find this person, who happened to be a driver.
They learned from him that Du Haizhi had traded his invaluable jade pendant for traveling a distance of 30 miles.
In other words, Du Haizhi was now far away from where he was.
That made the search much harder, Ren Feifan did indeed possess skills for finding people, but these skills were futile at this time.
That is because the other party’s realm was too high, he could not pinpoint an accurate location.
After another few hours, Ren Feifan received another update. The Holy Gate disciples managed to find, based on surveillance, that Du Haizhi had gone to a small city in the south.
This city was named Lin City, which belonged to Jiangnan Province.
Ren Feifan didn’t follow up with any more investigations, he was all too familiar with Lin City. He decided that he should go there in person.
Moreover, that mysterious man, whom he had been in contact with in the past, had also instructed him to pay a visit to Wanfo Mountain in Lin City.
This person had always shown a bit of goodwill towards Ren Feifan, otherwise, he wouldn’t have tipped him off back then.
In that case, he did need to take a trip to Wanfo Mountain in Lin City.
To save time, Ren Feifan took one of the Holy Gate disciples with him for a drive to Lin City.
It was quite far, but it was the fastest way there.
Ren Feifan also wondered how Ye Chuchen was getting on with buying that private jet.
Approximately five hours later, Ren Feifan arrived at Lin City.
It was just dawn at Lin City, with very few people on the road. Ren Feifan let the disciple who drove him there find a place to stay and wait for his phone call. Then he headed to Sun Qingqing’s apartment.
(There’ll be more updates later)
