Chapter 1162: Wind Rain Village, Cloud Soaring Town
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This full-scale war didn’t mean that it could last long. After all, both parties had sacrificed a lot. This battle was the outbreak of many people who had been suppressed to the extreme.
In a society where social classes existed, there must be oppression and resistance.
However, the resistance this time was too fierce.
This battle was caused by many reasons. It was hard to tell if such battles would happen again.
Knowing the whole situation, Han Fei was relieved. “Then where are we now? Old Jiang, let me tell you, those Venerables are capable of divination. Let’s not let them find us.”
Old Jiang looked at Han Fei strangely. “I’m afraid you don’t know your own situation yet. In your father’s words, even a king can’t figure out your current state. What’s the use of being a Venerable?”
“Huh?”
Han Fei swallowed and murmured, “Am I already so awesome now?”
“Tsk!”
Old Jiang rolled his eyes. “Okay, as long as they can’t figure out where you are, they won’t spend so much effort to find other people. The Three Venerables are dead, and you want them to leave the Thousand Star City? Then they have to be bold!”
Han Fei took a deep breath. “What about the Thousand Star City? What will happen to Xiaobai’s family, the Jiuyin family, and the Heavenly Sword Sect?”
Old Jiang paused and smiled. “Don’t worry about the Luo family. The Luo family’s divine technique is not a joke. As for the Heavenly Sword Sect, you don’t have to worry either. The seven major sects are one. If the big clans dare to attack the Heavenly Sword Sect, the consequences won’t be good. Both parties will suffer heavy losses. The Cao family and the Chen family, which don’t participate in the battle, are also happy to see the other big clans suffer.”
As he said this, Old Jiang glanced at Jiuyin Ling and said lightly, “As for the Jiuyin family, Jiuyin Lie has pledged allegiance to the Luo family and was rescued. However, his strength must have plummeted, and he will probably fall to the level of an Explorer. As for your sister, she has already gone to the Scattered Stars Island. She’s fine.”
Jiuyin Ling was secretly relieved, but she didn’t say anything.
Jiuyin Ling might be standing on the side of the Thug Academy in a daze, but Jiuyin Lie was not a fool. He had bet all his wealth on the Thug Academy. He was sure that if Jiuyin Ling followed Han Fei, she would definitely make great achievements in the future.
Old Jiang said, “Alright, since you’re awake, I’m leaving. Although we won this battle, all the resources accumulated over decades have been used up in one go. This time, too many explorers on both sides have perished. Those who didn’t die must have lived in seclusion. They probably won’t come out again unless it’s extremely necessary. I should go into seclusion too. Now I’m in a good mood. Old Bai and I are going to try to reach the Venerable realm.”
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. “Yes?”
Old Jiang chuckled. “How can it be so easy? Anyway, just stay here. Although no one will know where you are, you have to keep a low profile. Otherwise, you’ll be discovered by their people hiding in the 36 towns. You have to keep your strength a secret and don’t expose it. Although they won’t deliberately look for other people, they are still very concerned about you. If they discover you, it’s hard to guarantee that those people won’t leave the Thousand Star City…”
With that, Old Jiang stomped and a teleportation array appeared. With a swish, he disappeared.
Han Fei was still a little stunned. When the teleportation array disappeared, he wanted to ask more questions, but he had already left.
Han Fei couldn’t help but look at the village girl, Jiuyin Ling. “Where is this?”
Jiuyin Ling pursed her lips and blushed. “Wind Rain Village, Cloud Soaring Town.”
“Pfft!”
“Where?”
Jiuyin Ling asked in confusion, “Why? Is there a problem? Wind Rain Village, Cloud Soaring Town.”
“Ah! Old Jiang, come out…”
Han Fei couldn’t have felt worse. He couldn’t help but look at Jiuyin Ling. “Are there only the two of us here?”
Jiuyin Ling thought for a moment and eventually nodded. “Yes! Do you want to ask about a girl?”
Han Fei looked at Jiuyin Ling in surprise. “How do you know that? Why didn’t I myself know that?”
Jiuyin Ling thought for a long time and said, “Well, Junior Uncle Faceless said that you had a knot in your heart because the first time you entered the level-three fishery… At that time, you were still young and didn’t have enough experience, so you had a knot in your heart.”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. Junior Uncle Faceless, isn’t that Patriarch Thug, Li Daxian?
Yes, he was a Venerable, a super powerhouse who once suppressed the entire Thousand Star City. How could he not know what happened to him back then?
However, he didn’t save that girl!
Suddenly, Han Fei’s face changed. “She’s not dead?”
Jiuyin Ling shook her head. “No, she’s dead.”
Han Fei frowned even more. “Since she’s dead, why are we here now?”
Jiuyin Ling said again, “She can’t be considered dead either.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Is she dead or not… Hiss, undead creature?”
Han Fei was shocked.
Thinking of Li Daxian’s own state, Han Fei immediately shouted angrily, “Li Daxian, f*ck you.”
Jiuyin Ling secretly stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, Why did you even scold a Venerable?
Han Fei said angrily, “Couldn’t he have helped me back then? Now, I’m so frustrated…”
As he talked, Han Fei suddenly looked at Jiuyin Ling up and down and said leisurely, “Xiao Jiu! When did you know our patriarch?”
Jiuyin Ling blushed a little and said nervously, “No… No, I didn’t know that Junior Uncle Faceless was Senior Li. He just asked if I wanted to be with you. Then, he said that he brought me to a place and told me that you would have a disaster…”
Han Fei was dumbfounded when he heard that.
They were all old foxes!
Those people had set countless traps from top to bottom, from left to right.
It could be said that all the people around him who could be used had been used. Why was it that in the end, it was Jiuyin Ling who saved him from the Thousand Star City? It was because they had foreseen that he would have an accident.
As for Zhang Xuanyu, Luo Xiaobai, and Le Renkuang, they had attracted too much attention. But Jiuyin Ling was different. Although she was talented, she wasn’t that talented, her strength wasn’t strong enough, and she didn’t have a powerful family. Of course, few people paid attention to her.
Therefore, the person who was easiest to save him was Jiuyin Ling.
Han Fei was speechless. He was as pure as a little white fish in front of them.
Li Daxian didn’t have any divination abilities, so he must have contacted Old Han long ago. Therefore, he knew that he would have a great disaster, so he arranged for Jiuyin Ling to save him in advance.
Everything had been arranged, including the Sea Quelling Painting matter. This matter involved Ren Tianfei. It could be seen that Ren Tianfei was actually on their side.
Yes, the three of them were on the same side. He didn’t know how long they had hooked up.
The three of them had put on a big show. Except for the three of them, everyone, including him, Old Bai and the others, was a chess piece?
And all of this must have started when Old Han paved a path for him.
This path was his path to becoming a king.
From beginning to end, his growth had been clearly arranged by them. But he had f*cking thought that was just because he was extremely talented and lucky!
Han Fei pondered. “Where is she?”
There was a reason for Jiuyin Ling to disguise as a village girl. In fact, the couple of the family had died in an accident in the ordinary fishery. Therefore, this small courtyard was controlled by the faceless men.
To outsiders, Han Fei was a level-eight fisher named Tie Ren. Most people called him Old Tie.
Han Fei was speechless when he heard the name.
F*ck, if he went out, everyone would call him Old Tie?
Perhaps because of the name, Old Tie was a refiner.
Of course, the refiner in the village was actually a blacksmith and had nothing to do with refining…
Jiuyin Ling certainly wasn’t as pretty as she used to be. Her skin was a little dark, and she looked very ordinary. She wasn’t ugly or beautiful, but the kind of person that no one would remember if she was thrown into a crowd.
She was acting as Han Fei’s wife, Zhou Nan, a level-six fisher who would never reach level seven. She was responsible for the fish tax of the family.
This was an extremely ordinary family. Old Tie often went fishing with his wife in the sea because he was bad at forging.
At this moment, when the two of them went out, Han Fei felt a strong village vibe.
In the big tank at the door, there were seven or eight clams. The simple drains were where the seafood was cleaned as usual. The stone tables and hammers in the courtyard were suitable for Han Fei’s forging tools.
However, from the small courtyards next door, Han Fei could tell that the location of this residence was definitely not the best in the village.
When the two of them went out, they saw a small girl cooking five clams in the yard next door. The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old and looked a little thin. At this moment, she was only a level-seven fisher.
“Huh?”
Han Fei looked at Jiuyin Ling in surprise. “This girl used to be a fishing master, but she was seriously injured.”
Jiuyin Ling nodded and said via voice transmission, “Her name is Lin Wu, and she is Lin Miaomiao’s sister. In the resource competition of the village, she was seriously injured by the neighboring village. Because she is half disabled and spiritual fruits are too precious, she can only live like this.
Han Fei frowned. “Lin Wu? Sister? Why doesn’t the village arrange a profession for those who are disabled because of the resource competition?”
Jiuyin Ling said, “She refused to accept it and believed that she still had hope of rising. One day, she hoped that she could return to the fishing master realm. Therefore, she gave up the position arranged by the village and insisted on going to sea every day.”
Seeing Han Fei and Jiuyin Ling leave, Lin Wu immediately waved her hand. “Uncle Tie, Auntie Nan, have you eaten breakfast? If not, eat together!”
Jiuyin Ling said to Han Fei, “We don’t usually eat with her. You’re more honest and simple-minded. I’m not a talker. It seems that they are just neighbors.”
Han Fei thought to himself, Am I an idiot again? Why do I have to pretend to be an idiot again?
However, I seem to be a professional in this aspect!
My acting skills have reached the point of perfection.
Considering that he might have to stay in the Wind Rain Village for a long time, Han Fei smiled innocently. “Xiao Wu, why are you up so early to cook? You can eat by yourself. Your Auntie Nan and I are going to sea today.”
Lin Wu waved his hand. “Uncle Tie, Auntie Nan, be careful.”
Han Fei didn’t rush to contact the girl, but frowned slightly. “Xiao Jiu, did Lin Miaomiao never come back?”
Jiuyin Ling shook her head slightly. “Undead creatures might not have a way to come back. Uncle Faceless said that the reason he chose this place was to let you overcome the knot in your heart. After all, Lin Miaomiao is alive in another way, so you shouldn’t keep thinking about her. Besides, Uncle Faceless said that in the past few years, you’d better consider all the things you have done in the past. There may be many small details that should be resolved. If you can reach a perfect state of mind, it will be good for a breakthrough.”
Han Fei curled his lips. That’s easy to say. I’ve almost forgotten what I did in the past. I should follow my heart. Even those villains can make breakthroughs, right? So, following my heart might be a simple solution.
Han Fei counted his fingers and realized that he had caused a lot of trouble.
Han Fei shrugged. “Okay! I’ll take my time.. I need to consolidate my foundation too.”
