Chapter 661 The Diligent Marquis of Zhaoyi
Ye Kang blinked. So he was recommended by the Three Offices?
Indeed, opportunities are earned.
Jin Lingfeng continued, "You will also receive credit, but the Three Offices will need some time to report it. You can use this time to recuperate."
"Thank you, sir. I have one more thing to do."
Ye Kang suddenly remembered something and said, "Does Your Excellency still remember when the people from Fangjiabao helped us yesterday?"
Jin Lingfeng nodded: "Of course, that's exactly what I was going to ask you. What exactly happened? I have no dealings with Fangjiabao before. Did you invite them?"
Ye Kang smiled and said, "She's that little scarred girl in my team. Why don't you call her over and ask her directly?"
"it is good."
Without wasting any words, Jin Lingfeng immediately had someone summon Little Scarface.
A moment later, the latter entered the room and bowed to Jin Lingfeng, saying, "Fang Siyu of Fangjiabao greets the Captain."
"You're from Fangjiabao!"
Jin Lingfeng was surprised that the scarred man revealed his identity as soon as he entered the door.
The main reason is that she looks too ordinary, making it hard to associate her with Fangjiabao.
After all, Fangjiabao is a force to be reckoned with among the Sand People, with at least six Star Luo Realm experts within its walls, making it far stronger than Baiguling.
The scarred man glanced at Ye Kang, chose to believe him, and then lifted the restriction, unleashing his true cultivation level, which was at the peak of the Fourth Palace, allowing him to enter the Fifth Palace at any time.
She bowed her head and said, "Fang Siyu begs for forgiveness. I have been hiding my identity all along. Please forgive me, sir."
Jin Lingfeng narrowed his eyes.
He wasn't stupid. Someone who concealed his cultivation level would be willing to come to Windbreak Valley as a lowly bone-removing team member; he must have ulterior motives.
He said, "So Fang Tianzheng was the one who summoned you. Tell me, what do you want?"
Fang Siyu took a deep breath: "My lord, it's not that our Fang family fortress is plotting something. It's just that my father is about to break through and urgently needs a precious plant as a catalyst. We inquired everywhere and finally found out that this precious plant is in Fengxi Valley."
"What Baozhi?"
"Dendrobium trifoliata".
Jin Lingfeng raised his eyelids instantly and said in a low voice, "You have a lot of nerve. Three-leaf Dendrobium is a specialty of Fengxi Valley, exclusively for the imperial court. Every year, special people come here to take care of and collect it. Each plant is counted. Losing even one plant will cause a major incident."
His tone hardened, and his expression turned slightly angry.
Each region in Kyushu has its own specialties, and although Windbreak Valley is small, its windless climate and unique soil allow it to cultivate a special product.
But so-called special products are strictly protected, especially those specially supplied by the imperial court. Who would dare to mess with them?
Fang Siyu's face immediately paled: "My lord, please forgive me! I did not ask for the whole Dendrobium, only a section of it. The reason I entered Wind Breath Valley was to try my luck and find a defective product that I didn't need. I had absolutely no intention of stealing!"
"Fine, since you've helped me, I won't pursue the matter further. As for the dendrobium, there's a quota for it, so I can't give it to you."
"I see……"
Fang Siyu said regretfully, "As expected, it's impossible to persuade Jin Lingfeng with just a little personal favor."
Just then, Jin Lingfeng suddenly took out a pill.
"Although I can't make the decision about the three-leaf dendrobium, I can't let you make a wasted trip for Ye Kang's sake. This is a Star-Rising Pill, which can increase the chances of a Star Luo Realm warrior rising to a higher star level."
"what!"
Fang Siyu was shocked.
It's actually the legendary Star-Rising Pill!
This is a pill that only advanced alchemists can refine. In a sense, with this, even without dendrobium, Father would definitely be able to break through to the next level!
She immediately knelt down and bowed deeply to Jin Lingfeng, saying, "Thank you, Captain! From this day forward, Fangjiabao will follow your lead!"
"There's no need for that. This was given to me by my mother. She wanted me to advance to the Star Luo realm as soon as possible. However, my cultivation technique cannot progress too quickly, otherwise my foundation will be unstable, and I probably won't need this pill. It's a useless item, nothing special. Besides, you should thank him."
Jin Lingfeng looked at Ye Kang.
Fang Siyu immediately cupped her hands to Ye Kang: "Commander Ye, I have been disrespectful before, please accept my bow!"
Ye Kang didn't hesitate; if she wanted to pray, then she should.
He said, "We've both benefited from this, so there's no question of gratitude. Now that we've achieved our goal, you should go back. It's not good for you to keep pretending to be crazy here."
“I understand. I will set off immediately and return to Fangjiabao.”
Fang Siyu accepted the pill, glanced gratefully at Ye Kang, and then left the room and departed from Windbreak Valley.
Having resolved the matter, Ye Kang then turned to Jin Lingfeng.
"Sir, there is something I don't know if you are aware of."
“Speak. I’ve already said it. In front of outsiders, I’m an adult, but among brothers, you’re the eldest. Ask whatever you want.”
Jin Lingfeng stopped pretending and collapsed onto Ye Kang's bed, casually popping grapes into his mouth.
Ye Kang's lips twitched. This guy was serious.
I thought he was just saying it casually, but I didn't expect him to actually acknowledge me as his older brother.
The temperaments of these spoiled brats are truly both laughable and exasperating.
He also looked serious and asked, "What exactly did Zhou Fangbi do that he would be hunted down by three people?"
Jin Lingfeng was taken aback: "You're asking about this? It seems like they robbed a shop, and I heard that after killing people, they didn't take anything with them, just a rare and precious herb and ran away."
Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good.
It seems that Zhou Fang must have been robbing rare and precious materials in order to build the Ling Shang Platform.
In other words, the Abyss Fire Salt in the storage bracelet was the stolen goods he had taken, and now it was in his hands.
The jade slip belonging to the VIP member of Bafang Lingbaozhai was most likely obtained by him by chance and had nothing to do with the crime.
With this analysis, Ye Kang felt much more at ease.
With Zhou Fangbi's self-destruction, the case of the Yellow-Rank Heavenly Treasure was finally closed.
However, if it is that VIP member's jade slip, the person behind it will definitely not let it go easily, and will definitely trace it back to me.
Now there's no need to worry about that anymore.
However, we cannot be careless; at the very least, he will not mention Bafang Lingbaozhai to anyone.
He said, "I understand, sir. It's quite boring recuperating. Could you find me some books to read?"
"Sure, I have a whole bunch here. My mom gave them to me, telling me to study them when I have free time. I can't even get through a single page. I'll leave them all here. You can return them to me when you're done."
After saying that, Jin Lingfeng waved his hand, and books that could fill half a room appeared.
Ye Kang was utterly astonished: "Just how much stuff did your mother stuff into your body?!"
"Hehe, it's my first time going on a long trip, so I gave you a little more."
"No wonder the Marquis wanted to kick you out!"
Ye Kang was dumbfounded; this was truly spoiling the child.
With such a mother, Jin Lingfeng only became a spoiled brat who loved fighting insects, instead of becoming a heartless scoundrel, which shows how hard Marquis Zhaoyi worked in his education.
