827: Chapter 816: Umbrella Tengyun Geshang is Here!
After Teng Huayang returned to the Yunteng Family, the first thing he did was hand the antidote to Teng Feiyue.
Then, he began preparations for dealing with the Shangguan Family.
Meanwhile, in Zhonghai, Ning Fan had no idea when the Yunteng Family would act, but he wasn’t in a rush.
This wasn’t something that could be hurried, and he wasn’t about to start doubting Teng Feiyue and the Yunteng Family just because there hadn’t been immediate results.
Instead, his attention was still focused on Ouyang Feifei.
Ever since she had been injected with the Genetic Potion, Ning Fan had been especially concerned about her.
He wanted to figure out exactly how effective the Genetic Potion was.
The results, naturally, didn’t disappoint.
The Genetic Potion in Ouyang Feifei’s body was working remarkably well, altering her physique.
Originally at the Early Stage of the True Qi Realm, Ouyang Feifei now had an opportunity to break through, which was good news for Ning Fan.
The remaining four vials of Genetic Potion were distributed according to plans, used on Di Baitian and the wandering souls.
However, one vial still remained.
When Ning Fan saw that Ouyang Feifei wanted to inject it into Tulip, he promptly stopped her.
“My dear lady, you’re way too generous!
She’s only been with you for how long, and you’re already willing to use such a precious thing on her?
Are you made of charity?!”
Ning Fan looked at Ouyang Feifei, exasperated.
At this point, he still couldn’t bring himself to trust Tulip, whose entire persona seemed built around the Bewitching Technique.
Tulip was, after all, someone who had come from Umbrella, and who could say for sure whether or not she had truly severed all ties with the organization?
In Ning Fan’s eyes, a period of observation was still necessary.
But Ouyang Feifei thought otherwise, and she firmly told Ning Fan, “The saying goes: don’t use people you mistrust, and don’t mistrust the people you use.
Why can’t we trust Tulip?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust her entirely.
Sure, there’s Qian Mian’s proof of allegiance, but her identity is still too sensitive.
Someone from Umbrella… I doubt she’d willingly play second fiddle so easily.”
Ning Fan maintained his basic skepticism toward people like Tulip.
Ouyang Feifei could understand his point, but she still stuck to her perspective.
In her eyes, while Tulip might not be a good woman, subduing her wouldn’t be too difficult.
If even she couldn’t trust Tulip, the gap between Tulip and the Shadow Team would only grow wider.
Still holding onto this belief, Ouyang Feifei didn’t manage to sway Ning Fan, but in her heart, she was already thinking of other ways to make him realize that trusting Tulip wasn’t as complicated as he thought.
Ning Fan had no idea what Ouyang Feifei was scheming.
All he knew was that the final vial of Genetic Potion wasn’t used on Tulip—or anyone else, for that matter.
For now, it remained in Ouyang Feifei’s hands.
Regarding this, Ouyang Feifei couldn’t resist complaining, “What happened to letting me decide who gets the Genetic Potion?
It hasn’t even been that long, and you’re already going back on your word.
Men…”
“Listen to yourself.
You’re making it sound like I’m some heartless scoundrel…”
Ning Fan felt helpless.
Ouyang Feifei’s words made it seem as if he were some unfaithful lover, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Ouyang Feifei rolled her eyes at him but didn’t push the matter further.
Instead, she turned her attention to handling other issues.
The outer circle of the Shadow Team had just been established, and there was still a mountain of work waiting for Ouyang Feifei.
Unlike Ning Fan, who acted like a hands-off manager, Ouyang Feifei was the busy one, tirelessly working for his sake.
Ning Fan didn’t stay at the Shadow Team for long.
He soon left and received an invitation from Chen Fengnan.
After getting the invitation, Ning Fan made his way to Chen Fengnan’s manor.
Chen Fengnan hadn’t yet left Zhonghai and was now more or less staying there permanently—a decision, naturally, influenced by Ning Fan.
“It’s been a few days, and Mr.
Ning is looking sharper than ever…”
The refined Chen Fengnan observed Ning Fan, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
Ning Fan’s aura had undergone a notable transformation.
He was now like an unsheathed sword, radiating an unmistakable edge!
Chen Fengnan was deeply intrigued by the changes in Ning Fan over the past few days.
What exactly had he experienced to undergo such a remarkable shift?
This sharp, cutting aura came from Ning Fan’s comprehension of Sword Intent.
Once he fully grasped Sword Intent, he’d be able to wield it effortlessly.
Truthfully, Ning Fan didn’t enjoy this overly aggressive aura; he preferred being able to keep it under control.
“Mr.
Chen, let’s skip talking about me.
What brings you to invite me here today?”
Ning Fan didn’t think Chen Fengnan had invited him just for a casual chat.
There had to be something more significant at play.
Chen Fengnan chuckled lightly and praised him again, “Mr.
Ning, your recent achievements have been nothing short of astounding.
Even an old family like the Yunteng Family has fallen under your sway—truly admirable!”
Receiving such flattery from someone like Chen Fengnan did make Ning Fan feel a bit smug, but he quickly refocused on the matter at hand and maintained a serious expression.
“As for the European situation, I’ve mostly taken care of it.
The only downside is that Andorra hasn’t been located.”
By “the European situation,” Ning Fan was, of course, referring to the Mingwang Pavilion.
After the disaster at Rose Manor, Chen Fengnan had been rescued by Ning Fan, prompting a relentless wave of retaliation against the Mingwang Pavilion.
Chen Fengnan’s wrath swept through Europe like wildfire, sparking a widespread anti-Mingwang Pavilion movement.
The Pavilion’s bases across Europe were uprooted one after another, forcing the organization to withdraw from the continent it had operated in for decades.
This time, they suffered substantial losses on all fronts.
“Andorra is like a rat.
Unless he decides to show himself, he won’t be easily found.
But you need to be careful; he’s notoriously vindictive and won’t forget this.
He’ll definitely look for an opportunity to retaliate!”
Ning Fan gave Chen Fengnan a word of caution.
He wasn’t surprised they hadn’t been able to track down Andorra, but he was more concerned about the man’s inevitable return for revenge.
Chen Fengnan nodded.
He understood this well.
He knew Andorra wasn’t someone to be taken lightly.
“That said, there’s another matter I think Mr.
Ning should be cautious about!”
A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Fengnan’s eyes.
“What could possibly make you so tense, Mr.
Chen?”
Ning Fan furrowed his brow.
Chen Fengnan’s words stirred a sense of foreboding within him.
“Teng Yun Geshang—that man is coming to Huaxia!”
“Teng Yun Geshang!”
That man… he’s coming to Huaxia?!
