So, Lin Xiao was currently suspecting if Li Zhiyan harbored a secret, or if the spectral fetus was placed within Li Zhiyan by someone's deliberate choice.
The people of the Extreme Joy Sect had all been apprehended by him, and the surviving elders were still imprisoned. He would have Zhu Guangyu question them later.
He might as well take a stroll around this Joyful Union Sect, and explore it further. He hadn't had enough time to tour the entire sect before.
As he prepared to leave the cafeteria, he couldn't resist walking over to Ning Fengzhi's side.
"Seventh Uncle, how are you feeling?" Lin Xiao looked at the content smile on Ning Fengzhi's face, and the answer was obvious.
"Very good. As a doctor, I'm very satisfied to be able to help so many disciples with what I can do. And the income is not bad either," Ning Fengzhi immediately said.
He happened to feel that he didn't have enough money. After a few hours of busy work, he had already earned several thousand.
This could be considered an income.
"You know, I wasn't talking about that," Lin Xiao said, glancing at Yuan Feifei.
Yuan Feifei then got up and said, "I won't disturb you two from talking about important matters."
With that, she left.
However, before leaving, she still cast a lingering glance at Ning Fengzhi. It seemed that the relationship between these two was warming up quite quickly.
"Yo ho."
After Yuan Feifei had walked away, Lin Xiao placed a hand on Ning Fengzhi's shoulder. "Seventh Uncle, it seems things are going quite smoothly?"
"Of course!" Ning Fengzhi puffed out his chest proudly. "I'm a handsome, dashing, and elegant young man. While I'm not young, I'm still a wealthy heir of the Ning family. Isn't it a piece of cake?"
"So, it's a done deal with her? When can we have the wedding feast?" Lin Xiao deliberately went along with Ning Fengzhi's narcissistic words, as the best way to make Ning Fengzhi aware of his awkward situation was to humor him.
Upon hearing this question, Ning Fengzhi immediately fell into thought, then chuckled dryly and quickly said, "Brother Xiao, I was just saying that. Don't take it seriously. We're still a long way from that."
"Oh, so you haven't made her your girlfriend yet?" Lin Xiao then put on an expression of sudden realization.
"Of course not... still a bit short," Ning Fengzhi said, indicating with his pinky finger.
"So, you're still in that stage of 'more than friends, less than lovers'?"
"No... still a little bit short," Ning Fengzhi continued, his expression even more awkward.
"So, you guys... are still just friends?"
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow. It didn't seem like they were just friends, did it?
"No, no, no. Right now, I would say she and I are... in the budding stage of love. We haven't explicitly stated anything. I'm sure I like her, but I'm not sure if she likes me. I don't know if I should confess. That's the stage we're at," Ning Fengzhi finally explained the current situation.
"Understood. Simply put, you're in unrequited love, and you don't even know what she's thinking. Is that right?" Lin Xiao immediately summarized.
"...No... it seems like it," Ning Fengzhi struggled, then resigned himself to the fact that it was indeed only at this stage.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades must continue to work hard..." Lin Xiao patted his shoulder again. "However, there's something next that might require you to use your damned charm to get this Feifei you like to take us on a tour of the Joyful Union Sect."
"What charm do I have..."
"If you don't invite her, I'll just find someone else randomly?" Lin Xiao said directly.
"I'll do it."
Ning Fengzhi immediately stood up from his seat and hurried towards Yuan Feifei, who hadn't gone far and was even waiting at the entrance outside the cafeteria.
"Feifei, do you have time later?" Ning Fengzhi asked Yuan Feifei cautiously.
"If you have something to say, say it. I'm very busy," Yuan Feifei said with her arms crossed, glancing at Ning Fengzhi and turning her head away.
"Brother Xiao wants someone to give us a good tour of the Joyful Union Sect later, so I thought I'd come and invite you. If you're busy, then forget it," Ning Fengzhi said, seeing that Yuan Feifei didn't seem to have any intention. He could only shake his head and say helplessly, "I'll go tell Brother Xiao..."
"Don't!"
Yuan Feifei immediately grabbed Ning Fengzhi's clothes, then let out a soft huff. "Since you've come to invite me, I will certainly make time out of my busy schedule to be your guide. Otherwise, people will say that we disciples of the Joyful Union Sect have no foresight. That won't do."
"Then we'll have to trouble you, Feifei."
Ning Fengzhi still bowed very politely, putting on a show. As he lowered his head, a smug smile played on his lips.
Arrogant, but still easy to understand.
Lin Xiao watched this scene from a distance and shook his head. It seemed that Yuan Feifei would soon be captured by this pure young man, Ning Fengzhi, whose theoretical knowledge far surpassed his practical experience.
...
"This is our disciples' Martial Arts Hall, but nowadays, we often cultivate directly in the industries managed by the various sisters. The training grounds are rarely used," Yuan Feifei acted as a guide without any hesitation. In half an hour, she had already shown them a large part of the Joyful Union Sect.
She introduced each place thoroughly.
There was nothing unusual here. After Lin Xiao and Ning Fengzhi looked around, they left the Martial Arts Hall.
Yuan Feifei walked ahead and asked, "Divine Doctor, from your demeanor, you seem to be looking for something. Did you lose something important in the Joyful Union Sect?"
"No," Lin Xiao shook his head. "I haven't lost anything... I'm looking to see if the person who ambushed your master left anything here. After all, your master has considerable cultivation. There are not many people in this world who could attack your master and escape safely."
"That's true. My master is amazing, especially when it comes to dealing with men. My master is definitely the most formidable person in this world! No man can get the better of my master." Yuan Feifei said proudly.
"Wrong. I know someone who not only got the better of your master but also had your master completely under his thumb," Lin Xiao expressed his differing opinion at this point.
"How is that possible?"
Yuan Feifei turned to look at Lin Xiao. "Is it you, the Divine Doctor?"
"No, it's your master's husband."
