Chapter 95

Deputy Captain Fei probably never expected that by merely assisting in creating a disturbance, he would actually cause someone to escape.

This unexpected turn left him momentarily stunned, feeling a bit bewildered and at a loss.

By sheer luck, he actually managed to create an opportunity.

Fortunately, Fei Xinyu reacted quickly, leaping forward and striking the person down with the back of his blade.

He quickly stepped on the person and tried to dislocate his jaw, but it was too late.

A stream of black blood flowed from the corner of the person's mouth, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. His eyes fixed on Fei Xinyu, he struggled to say, "Good eyesight, I'll be waiting for you... down there..."

Before he could finish, his head tilted to one side, and he was dead.

Fei Xinyu sighed, stood before the corpse, and bowed silently. In a slightly low voice, he said, "Send someone to record this, clean up, and take him to the Soul Return Platform outside the city."

The Soul Return Platform.

It has no fixed location; it can be placed anywhere. After these spies die, their personal items and fake identity documents are often placed there.

This is to facilitate the return of their remains, allowing them to return to their roots.

It is a basic sign of respect.

All countries do this.

It is an unspoken agreement.

Even though there are countless politicians in the upper echelons of each empire who suggest setting up ambushes at the Soul Return Platform to deal with those who come to retrieve the remains, such suggestions are always firmly rejected by the military and the heads of all secret departments.

"We also hope that our heroes can return to their roots! Cutting off others' paths is cutting off our own paths!"

This reason, though criticized by politicians as old-fashioned and foolish, has never been changed.

"The battlefield can be full of deceit and cunning, but one must never lose one's conscience and resort to any means!"

...

At the city gate, chaos reigned.

Countless people were shouting, "Injustice!"

Feng Yin had already met Wu Tiejun in a secluded place, where Wu Tiejun had completed his "transformation."

It was a real transformation; his tall figure now stood at about 1.5 meters.

Looking at the mask on Feng Yin's face, Wu Tiejun smiled bitterly, "Mr. Feng, you still haven't taken off your mask. It seems that your appearance now is completely different from when you were at the clinic, like a different person."

"Yes."

Feng Yin did not deny it and smiled, "Actually, I never showed my true face at the clinic."

"You are indeed very cautious."

Wu Tiejun sighed in admiration.

Feng Yin sighed deeply, "The world is harsh. I have achieved much in medicine, and wherever I go, I can cure diseases with my medicine. Using this skill to help people, if I had revealed my true identity early on, I would probably have... hahaha."

He laughed, the sound lingering.

Wu Tiejun also sighed helplessly.

Given his experience and insight, he could fully understand and imagine the unspoken implications of Feng Yin's words. The world can tolerate a skilled doctor, but if a doctor is too skilled and has a strong personality, they will not be tolerated for long.

Sooner or later, they will disappear from the public eye.

The doctor might not die, but from the day they disappear, they will no longer have any freedom.

For a doctor with Feng Yin's extraordinary skills, such concerns are entirely justified. Even if he were ten times more cautious and never appeared again, it would be completely understandable.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a greater respect for Feng Yin.

Because Feng Yin's reappearance was for the sake of the Great Qin.

"Mr. Feng, this is the Spirit Pearl prepared for you by Lord He."

Wu Tiejun took out a silk-wrapped box, opened the silk, and a chill suddenly spread. It was a box carved from cold jade, and just this jade box alone was an invaluable treasure.

"Lord He obtained twelve from the headquarters warehouse, four from private friends, and added his own collection, totaling twenty-two Spirit Pearls."

Wu Tiejun lowered his voice, "Among them, eight are fifth-grade, ten are sixth-grade, three are seventh-grade, and one is a peak seventh-grade, half-step eighth-grade monster's Spirit Pearl, the rarest and most precious."

"Really that many!"

Feng Yin's eyes lit up.

"And there's more."

Wu Tiejun continued, "There are also ten monster's inner cores, which I will give to you. They might be useful, and if they are, they are easier to obtain than Spirit Pearls."

"Additionally, there are some rare herbs. Although the quantity is not large, the quality is excellent. If they can be used in your medicine to save people, it would be very beneficial."

"Also, there is a silver ticket worth 100,000 taels, issued by the Great Qin Giant Sea Bank. They are untraceable and can be used for your daily expenses."

Wu Tiejun hesitated, "This amount is modest, but please accept it without refusal. It could have been more, but large amounts of silver tickets are too conspicuous. Smaller amounts would make the package too large, making it easier to attract attention on the road."

It must be said that He Biqu and Wu Tiejun had thought of everything.

Feng Yin was truly satisfied. It was more than enough, like a timely rain, coming just when he needed it. He was worried about where to replenish his resources, as his small broken knife had been without food for a long time.

Recently, it had simply ignored him.

Cough, it seemed that since awakening, it had not spoken to him, probably because it only cared when there was something to gain.

Feng Yin touched the package, feeling a bit of a strange itch.

Now that he had so many Spirit Pearls, he wondered how the knife would react, perhaps even kneeling to sing "Conquer"!

This thought made him feel a bit smug.

"Enough, enough, it's more than enough!"

Feng Yin sighed, "Lord He is truly trustworthy."

Wu Tiejun said, "There's also this. This is the token for free travel in the Rainbow Sky, which Lord He instructed me to give to you."

He took out a token, which was wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, about the size of half a palm. Seven colors of rainbow flowed through it, with a colorless line in the middle, which was actually a groove in the material. It looked as if it was freely moving through the rainbow, a spectacular sight.

"This token contains a thread of the will of the headquarters leader. No one can forge it. As long as you drop a drop of blood into the groove, the token will become your personal item, and only you can activate it."

"By holding this token, you can unconditionally mobilize at least a hundred and up to a thousand people in any Rainbow Sky department. This is an unconventional mobilization, for any personal matters."

"Also, there is a protrusion on the back of the token. You can activate it with your own spiritual power, very convenient."

Wu Tiejun hesitated, then whispered, "By the way, this token has another restriction. Once activated, the department heads can lock onto your general location. Please use it cautiously."

Feng Yin's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Wu Tiejun with a smile, "Captain Wu, this... is quite overwhelming. I am just a doctor, what virtue or ability do I have to possess such great power?"

Wu Tiejun said, "Lord He's intention in giving you this token is purely out of goodwill. I suggest you accept it for emergencies. This token can indeed ensure your safety and survival in critical times."

He said each word carefully, "Mr. Feng, you are a person of great ability, with a broad mind and deep insight. You should understand that while the empire values you, it will not allow someone like you to remain outside its control for long."

"This token can give you great freedom, but it also comes with responsibilities and obligations."

Feng Yin pretended to ponder, and after a long while, he slowly said, "I understand."

He looked at the token and said with a smile, "Life is not always as one wishes. I will keep this token for now, hoping I never need to use it."

Wu Tiejun sighed in relief, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your sense of duty."

Feng Yin accepted the token, and Wu Tiejun's mission was complete.

As for whether Feng Yin would activate the token, that was his decision, not Wu Tiejun's concern.

Wu Tiejun had done everything he wanted to say and remind.

He felt he had done his duty to his friend.

"Mr. Feng, Yuezhou is now in turmoil, and a major battle may be imminent. Once the battle starts, the impact will be widespread."

Wu Tiejun's eyes showed a pleading look, "Perhaps, many brothers will... I, I... If the situation becomes urgent, how can I contact you?"

Feng Yin was silent for a long time before he finally said, "Alright, meet me here again tomorrow afternoon. I will give you another batch of medicine. After that, I will find a stable place to stay and a way to contact you."

Wu Tiejun said obediently, "That's great. Please rest assured, I will not mention anything about you to anyone, even if I die, I will keep your secret!"

Feng Yin rolled his eyes, "You should still tell Lord He. I don't have much faith in your brain. If only you knew, I wouldn't be surprised if you were killed on the road one day."

Wu Tiejun was deeply hurt, his eyes filled with resentment, "Even Mr. Feng thinks I'm simple-minded and physically weak?"

Feng Yin coughed, "Don't be too confident, you're not even that physically strong."

Wu Tiejun left, feeling deeply wounded.

He felt he had suffered a great deal of damage from Feng Yin and urgently needed to heal.
