Chapter 84

In such a situation, why bother to do anything? It’s already quite good if someone still gives you face, especially with some of the clerks in the upper echelons.

One could say that the king of hell is easy to see, but the little devils are hard to deal with, or that once a person leaves, the tea grows cold. Human nature has always been like this, from ancient times to the present!

After all, even if He Biqu has the ability to punish them, it’s impossible to really do anything to them during this critical period. That would only create more trouble for his successor.

But now, He Biqu’s injuries are fully healed, and he is full of confidence. If you dare to have other thoughts when I ask you to do something, I’ll slap you to death! No one would dare to say anything! Even if the lawsuit goes all the way to the Great Venerable Qingming, He Biqu has the confidence to win, with full confidence!

Whether in this world or in Feng Yin’s previous life, reality is always so harsh!

“Yes.”

“The things Mr. Feng needs are all here. You will take them all and deliver them to Mr. Feng.”

He Biqu said calmly, “The demon race’s spirit soul beads, I only have eighteen. Adding the two high-grade ones sent from headquarters, there are only twenty in total. I hope these will be enough for Mr. Feng to use temporarily. I will continue to find ways to get more, as much as I can. The same goes for other medicinal materials.”

He looked at Wu Tiejun, “Remember to convey these words... don’t ask why Mr. Feng needs these medicinal materials, just know what he needs.”

“Yes!” Wu Tiejun said seriously.

“Also...” He Biqu looked at Wu Tiejun, “Mr. Feng shouldn’t have given you only these five pills, right? The others, which are ineffective but useful for internal injuries, he must have given you as well, right?”

Wu Tiejun stared with wide eyes and denied it, “No! Mr. Feng didn’t give me any!”

He Biqu snorted and directly extended his hand, “Hand them over!”

Wu Tiejun had a pained expression, muttering, “There really... aren’t many.”

He Biqu angrily said, “Hand them over! Mr. Feng refined the medicine and gave it to you, which is equivalent to giving you the lives of many of your brothers. But the cost to Mr. Feng must have been huge. Can you afford to pay for it? Without spiritual medicine as an exchange, I can’t use the resources of the Rainbow Heavenly Robe to compensate Mr. Feng. Do you understand this?”

Wu Tiejun, hit where it hurt, immediately became dejected. He couldn’t afford it.

His entire squad, combined, couldn’t afford it either.

Without money, it’s hard to be tough!

He endured the pain, trembling as he took out the medicine, tightly clenching it in his hand, and pleaded, “Old Master, please leave more for our Blue Robe Squad...”

He Biqu said irritably, “I didn’t say I would keep it all. I’ll leave you half. Is that enough? When will you change your habit of keeping things to yourself? If you don’t give others some benefits, how can you catch big fish? How can you turn them into a continuous source of wealth? Your stinginess won’t accomplish anything. Do you know what leaders value most?”

“Half?! That’s enough, enough!”

Wu Tiejun was overjoyed.

He Biqu opened the container, counted the pills, and his face immediately changed, regretting it deeply as he looked at Wu Tiejun, “How many are there? How can you use them all!”

He Biqu hadn’t expected that this Mr. Feng would give 160 pills at once!

So many!

Half would be 80 pills!

He Biqu had guessed that there would be only a dozen or so of these semi-finished spiritual medicines, so he had promised half without hesitation.

Eighty divine pills for Wu Tiejun’s small squad?

He Biqu felt it was a waste!

These were divine medicines for healing internal injuries and restoring vitality!

“Sir, you are mistaken!”

Wu Tiejun immediately argued, “We can save them for later if we can’t use them all at once. Besides, Sir, you just said that a man of honor can’t go back on his word.”

He Biqu frowned, “I think thirty is already a lot... you don’t need to be so...”

“Sir! Sir, you can’t go back on your word...”

Wu Tiejun wouldn’t budge.

In the end, He Biqu wouldn’t even give him sixty.

“Eighty pills, not one less. Seventy-nine won’t do!” Wu Tiejun’s attitude was resolute.

He Biqu was so angry his face turned green, and he took out eighty pills, “Get out! Get out immediately! Don’t let me see you again, you stubborn brat!”

“Alright!”

Wu Tiejun turned and left.

“Remember, this medicine is what was left over from the last time in Jianghu Town. Mr. Feng’s existence must not be exposed.”

“Understood.”

“Get out!”

“Sir, I know Fei Xinyu has privately kept twenty pills.”

“Fei Xinyu??”

“Absolutely true! Mr. Feng told me! Fei Xinyu is a scoundrel, using public resources for personal gain. Sir, I think this kind of behavior must be punished!”

“Hmm, I understand.”

“I’ll take my leave.”

...

Wu Tiejun finally left.

He Biqu kicked the chair Wu Tiejun had been sitting on to pieces, as if he had shattered the stubborn brat, and took a deep breath, saying loudly, “Send out invitations, invite the heads of various departments to come here for a meeting. Say there’s important business to discuss.”

“Yes, Sir. They might say unpleasant things when they come, after all, this matter just happened tonight...”

“Ha ha, in front of me, who dares!”

He Biqu was now full of confidence. His momentum was strong, and he was completely unafraid, looking down on everyone!

At that moment, Tian Nan San went to invite the people.

He Biqu leisurely brewed a cup of tea and used his spiritual power to clean the entire room, making sure there was no trace of blood or any abnormalities. Previously, he would never have used his spiritual power so casually.

But today, it was all fine!

Feeling relaxed, he drank tea and thought, yes, he would still pretend to be injured for a while, no matter who it was, even the old people of the Rainbow Heavenly Robe, he would still pretend... just to see who would dare to be disrespectful to him.

This wasn’t being devious or cunning, but wise and insightful!

He would definitely make a big move!

Just as he was thinking about the wonderful moment of catching Chu Xiaotan and giving him a good beating... just thinking about it made him grin.

So damn satisfying!

Just this guy has been opposing me all his life...

No, his injuries are healed, and a breakthrough is imminent. He has a lot of good times ahead. How can it be just a lifetime? The second half of his life will definitely be spent bullying Chu Xiaotan, thinking about it makes him feel great!

Just as he was thinking about the most beautiful moment, a voice suddenly said, “Is He Biqu here?”

It was a familiar voice.

He Biqu’s face changed, quickly put away the pills, and then his face turned pale, the same pale color with a hint of deathly aura as before.

He quickly scanned the room to make sure there were no flaws, then let out a hearty laugh and went out with a smile.

He warmly shook the hand of an old man in white, with a sense of long-lost reunion and surprise, “Minister Kong, why did you come suddenly? You didn’t even give me a heads-up. Ahaha, I’m so surprised and delighted!”

Outside, a man with gray hair, dressed in a snow-white robe, with a gaunt face and a very kind expression, had exceptionally clear and bright eyes. Most peculiarly, his eyebrows were half black and half white, with two white eyebrows slanting upwards at the ends.

This strange black and white eyebrow shape added a fierce look to his otherwise compassionate face.

He was Kong Gaohan, the head of the White Robe Department, one of the seven departments of the Rainbow Heavenly Robe.

The Rainbow Heavenly Robe’s proud divine physician, the ruthless judge.

A divine hand for healing;

A steel blade for justice in troubled times!

Divine hand and steel blade.

Better at killing than healing!

This was referring to this old master Kong.

Kong Gaohan, seeing He Biqu, smiled warmly, “You lured me here, how are your injuries now? Although you took the divine medicine and showed some improvement, the injuries you sustained from setting up the trap for Miao Sen have worsened. Even with the benefits of the divine medicine, the damage is significant. How can I not be worried?”

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, his eyes becoming serious and then filled with surprise.

He Biqu looked grateful, “Brother Kong, you are truly a good brother. I feel ashamed, making you worry so much. I am at fault.”

But Kong Gaohan’s eyes grew more and more shocked, his eyes widening, and his fingers trembling, “Your... your injuries...”

He Biqu sighed, speaking in a disheartened tone, “I don’t have many years left. What does it matter if my injuries are severe or not? Come, let’s go inside and have some tea.”

Kong Gaohan suddenly let go of He Biqu’s hand, lowering his voice angrily, “Are you trying to fool me? Am I just an ordinary cultivator? For a doctor, the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation are the first lessons. Your injuries are clearly healed! The pale face caused by hidden injuries is fundamentally different from a deliberately feigned pale face, you old scoundrel!”

“I really...”

“Try saying you’re not healed again!”

He Biqu coughed, “You’re the one who’s good, you’re the one who’s good. Keep your voice down, old man... why do you have a louder voice the older you get!”

Kong Gaohan glared at him and strode inside.

He Biqu, now with a shortcoming in the hands of the other, had no choice but to follow meekly.

There was no way around it. Kong Gaohan was older and had saved He Biqu’s life more than once. He Biqu had suffered from the Ice Heaven Cold Poison for thirty years and had been able to survive until now largely thanks to this old man. He Biqu, who was fearless, was very respectful of this divine hand and steel blade, and even more so when his true condition was seen through.

“Damn, this old scoundrel is definitely going to take advantage of me this time, seeing through me at a glance.”

He Biqu was extremely annoyed.

“There wasn’t much to begin with...”
