Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Medicine Garden
Boom!
With Lin Feng’s words, the strings of the pipa in the hands of the Peach Girl suddenly snapped, and she immediately revealed a look of astonishment. Although the astonishment disappeared quickly, Lin Feng still caught it.
"Are you indeed from Purple Moon?"
Lin Feng suddenly frowned, Ji Wuye on the side was completely confused, wondering what was happening.
"You jest, young master. I am merely an unwanted wild girl from Hu Niu village. I had the good fortune to be taken in by a musician from Ye Tian Music Workshop, learned to play pipa, and then drifted to this Zui Tian Tower, where I became a geisha."
Peach Girl’s brows carried a trace of doubt.
However, she might have been able to deceive others, but not Lin Feng, who just sneered and pointed at a faint purple mark under her neck, which, although faint, was clearly visible.
"Night reveals purple moon, dawn greets the cold moon, night stays awake, and man dies. Purple Moon Tower, one of the top three assassin organizations in the Great Thousand Domain."
The Peach Girl’s expression changed instantly, but she soon returned to normal, looking at Lin Feng with complex eyes and spoke softly:
"How did you know? In Hu Ben Country, there cannot be more than three people who can recognize this mark, and you should not be one of them."
Lin Feng said indifferently: "That’s none of your concern, but of course, you can be assured that I will not betray you."
"Why?" the Peach Girl asked with furrowed brows.
"Because you want to escape from Purple Moon, I haven’t got that wrong, have I?" Lin Feng said with a half-smile.
Peach Girl showed a look of astonishment in her eyes.
"You need not ask me why I know so much about Purple Moon. Hu Ben Country is a small country in the Great Thousand Domain, and very few people are aware of it, so you could live in peace. But, unfortunately for you, due to the mysterious death of one of my relatives, I’ve investigated Purple Moon before, hence I know a bit more than the average person."
Lin Feng’s words were indeed true. The death of the Iron Spear Divine Marquis had led him to believe it was the work of an assassin; he had investigated Purple Moon at the time. However, Purple Moon was too secretive, and even he could not find their lair.
But the more it was so, the more curious and suspicious Lin Feng became.
"You’re not an ordinary person." Peach Girl looked deeply at Lin Feng and shook her head slightly, "I hope you will keep your word. Indeed, I am trying to flee from Purple Moon and wish to rid myself of this mark, but..."
Saying this, a touch of sorrow appeared in Peach Girl’s eyes.
"But how could it be so easy to escape? You came to Hu Ben Country because you had no other choice, right?" Lin Feng said.
Peach Girl did not speak, her silence an admission. Ji Wuye on the side was dumbfounded, all those things about the top three assassin organizations, Purple Moon this and that, how could the moon possibly be purple?
"Lin Feng, what on earth are you talking about?"
Lin Feng glanced at him, "You better go pay the bill, do not seek to know what you should not know."
"I..."
Ji Wuye was left speechless by Lin Feng’s remark, mumbling a few words before obediently going downstairs to pay.
"Show your true face," Lin Feng said indifferently.
Peach Girl’s eyes flickered, utterly astounded by this young man. In front of him, it was as if she had been stripped of her clothes, unable to hide anything, and then she sighed, reached out to touch her face, revealing a human skin mask. The real Peach Girl, however, was even more beautiful than the one the mask depicted.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Peach Girl spoke with a hint of resentment.
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders, "Relax, no matter how good-looking you are, I’m not interested in you. And you can rest assured, I won’t tell anyone else about your identity, so you can continue to be a geisha here. Of course, if you’re thinking about killing someone to silence them, then you’re thinking too much."
Peach was slightly moved, a Martial Master Third Layer daring to speak to her, a Martial Master Seventh Layer, in such a manner. However, subconsciously, she felt that Lin Feng was no ordinary person, so the thought of killing Lin Feng only flickered momentarily before she dismissed it.
She asked doubtfully, "Then what do you want?"
To her, exposing her identity meant this man was threatening her, and she had already assumed that as long as he could keep this secret, whatever he wanted, she would satisfy.
"I need you to get close to a person!"
"Who?"
"Iron Spear Divine Marquis!"
...
Leaving the Zui Tian Tower, it was already time to light the lamps. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Returning to the Ji Family, Lin Feng immediately began closed-door cultivation.
The Iron Spear Divine Marquis could be considered Lin Feng’s enlightenment mentor. Lin Feng held his death close to his heart, and although he didn’t know if he could prevent this regret in this life, at the very least, Lin Feng wanted to know who the real murderer was behind the scenes.
Therefore, he assigned Peach, who was adept in the ways of an assassin, to infiltrate and stay close to Iron Spear Divine Marquis.
Of course, Peach was very surprised when she learned that Lin Feng wanted her to infiltrate someone like Iron Spear Divine Marquis. As a Heavenly Martial Master, he naturally had a formidable reputation in Hu Ben Country.
Peach didn’t want to jump out of the tiger’s den only to enter a Dragon Pond. On the spot, Lin Feng let Peach witness one of his own Star cultivations.
The Ninth Grade Shield Bone Dragon, whether it was Ninth Grade or Shield Bone Dragon, both were already shocking to Peach.
At that time, Lin Feng also made a promise.
"When I, one day, have Dragon Roams the World, I will grant you a lifetime of splendor and wealth."
The promise was made, and Peach agreed. What moved her was not Lin Feng’s Martial Master Third Layer strength but his potential future achievements.
"Keep cultivating hard. Luckily, I still have some leftover Solid Vein Pills from last time. With this life’s sudden changes, having both Ninth Grade Shield Bone Dragon and Heavenly Grace Dragon Book, I refuse to believe that I cannot reach or even surpass the Demon Dragon Emperor from my past life!"
A sharp light flickered in Lin Feng’s eyes.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day, Ji Wuye came to see him.
Lin Feng had long been ready to spring into action, knowing today was the day for the Ji Family and Wang Family to compete for the Medicine Garden. The Ji Family had failed to prevail numerous times before, unable to stand up to the Wang Family’s total superiority. The younger generation of Ji Family felt powerless.
However, this time, they saw hope, hoping that Lin Feng could represent them as a disciple of the Ji Family.
In the eyes of many Ji Family elders, Lin Feng was the disciple of the old Family Head of Ji, so they all agreed to let Lin Feng take part as a Ji Family disciple, and they were also aware of Lin Feng’s strength.
"Lin Feng, for today’s Medicine Garden competition, our Ji Family will also send ten disciples, and I am one of them."
Ji Wuye said. Lin Feng nodded to show his understanding.
The Medicine Garden was not located inside the city but fifty li outside the city, in a small Medicine Valley.
When they arrived at the Medicine Valley, Ji Family Head Ji Dong personally escorted them, while the Wang Family was led by their Family Head, a middle-aged man, who had no fewer than fifteen people following him, the weakest among them was at Martial Master Third Layer.
"Ha ha, Brother Ji Dong, how come you’re thinking of competing for this Medicine Garden this time?"
