Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 668: The New Emperor of Soldiers

"You should stop trying to decline; I have a high opinion of you. You should know that there are very few in the whole world who can dodge my arrows."

Even Xia Bingxin had to admit that she couldn’t see through Feng Bailing’s cultivation level. At least on the surface, Feng Bailing seemed to possess neither Wen Energy nor Gang Qi, yet she had actually dodged her arrow.

Moreover, that arrow strangely followed its target. What kind of skill was this? Regardless of what it was, it must be an extremely powerful technique.

Feng Bailing was so young that it seemed impossible for her to have such profound abilities; Xia Bingxin speculated that Medical Buddha must be hidden nearby.

It was Medical Buddha who had injured her!

"Senior, please stop joking. I am truly incapable of bearing such a heavy responsibility."

Feng Bailing continued to demur; he still needed to return to Chu City and did not have the time to manage the affairs of the Soldier Inn.

"Let’s not beat around the bush. I’ll just tell you the truth, whether you want to take on the position of Emperor of Soldiers or not, you will have to take it, because I had been planning to step down from this position, and you happened to appear. Everything is destined."

Xia Bingxin sighed lightly.

"Have you also heard of Tianji Sect?"

Feng Bailing was surprised. Could it be that Xia Bingxin also had a connection with Tianji Sect?

Xia Bingxin’s next words confirmed Feng Bailing’s guess. Seeing Feng Bailing’s clueless expression, Xia Bingxin wasn’t surprised; after all, the existence of Tianji Sect was only known to the royal families and the powerful figures of the Ten Countries.

It wasn’t strange for Feng Bailing, who was both young and not a member of the Royal Family, to be unaware of it.

"My surname was not originally Xia; my real name is Nan Xin, and I am a disciple of Tian Jizi. Many years ago, my master foresaw that the world would fall into great chaos in twenty years. As his end approached, he decided to send out several disciples to save the common people. We were sent to assist the monarchs of the Ten Countries, to maintain a balance among them. I was originally assigned to the Chen Dynasty, but due to certain reasons, I could not stay in the Chen Dynasty, nor could I return to Tianji Sect, so I ended up joining the mercenary world. Afterwards, I became the Emperor of Soldiers, but I have never forgotten the task my master entrusted to me. A few days ago, my fellow sect members suddenly sent a message that a traitor had emerged within our sect. My two elder martial brothers were killed in succession. Although I did not have much affection for them, as a fellow sect member, I must uphold the legacy of my master, and I must join my fellow sect members to eliminate that traitor together."

Xia Bingxin related in an unhurried manner. She did not say much but simply outlined the sequence of events; however, Feng Bailing understood everything clearly upon listening.

So, it turned out that Xia Bingxin was also a disciple under Tian Jizi. From her words, she was meant to be dispatched to the Chen Dynasty, but for some reason, she entered the mercenary world. Feng Bailing’s knowledge of the Chen Dynasty was not extensive; he only knew the Wu sisters, Wu Wanwan and Wu Zhenzhen.

As for the traitor mentioned by Xia Bingxin, it must be Gan Liu and Lady Nan Feng.

It seemed that the headmaster had already made contact with other sect members, and they had determined that Gan Liu had betrayed Tianji Sect by killing the other two martial brothers, so they planned to join forces against Gan Liu.

Seeing Xia Bingxin’s determination to leave, Feng Bailing’s mind was troubled. She was somewhat interested in the mercenary world but had no intention of controlling it. However, the issue of Soldier King Qi and the virus emerged, and Feng Bailing’s thoughts changed.

Who was the person connecting with Soldier King Qi and Xiao Junci?

That remained unknown for the moment, but the other party clearly knew the mercenary world well and would certainly not give up easily in the future. They may even come up with other methods to spread the virus, and the Ten Countries might all be affected. At that point, the mercenaries would be needed.

Now that Xia Bingxin was handing over the position of Emperor of Soldiers, if Feng Bailing could control the position of Emperor of Soldiers, it would be like having control over the Mercenary World—an opportunity that comes once in a blue moon. Soon, she made her decision.

"Senior, I am sorry, but Medical Buddha does not wish to interfere with the affairs of the Mercenary World. However, I do have an idea. This crossbow originally belonged to Xia Xing, and my master also holds Xia Xing in high regard. If you truly intend to relinquish the throne of Emperor of Soldiers, instead of giving it to me, why not pass it on to Xia Xing?"

Although Feng Bailing himself cannot bear the mantle of Emperor of Soldiers, Gong Zhu can.

Gong Zhu is originally a genius from the Xingxiu Sect, possesses great strength and surpasses others with his strategy. If he could become the Emperor of Soldiers, it would be a great help to Feng Bailing’s future, at least securing the most powerful ally for Feng Bailing in the Mercenary World.

Feng Bailing is not worried that Gong Zhu would stab him in the back.

"Hmph, that defiant disciple."

Xia Bingxin said discontentedly.

Yet she pondered Feng Bailing’s words in her mind.

If not for the appearance of Feng San, Xia Bingxin indeed wanted to pass on the position to Xia Xing, whom she was quite satisfied with in many aspects, and who had also learned her archery.

Xia Bingxin gave Feng Bailing a sideways glance.

Although she felt that Xia Xing treated Feng Bailing and the others differently and could not practice the supreme archery, if there was an additional Medical Buddha behind Gong Zhu, it would be equivalent to providing a safeguard for the Mercenary World, which was not necessarily a bad thing.

Xia Bingxin did not disclose the full truth to Feng Bailing. The reason she and her fellow disciples banded together to deal with Gan Liu was because the current Gan Liu was very difficult to handle.

He had joined forces with Xiao Junci from Beiqi and Lady Nan Feng. After the Tianji Sect lost Tian Jizi, they also suffered the loss of several disciples, significantly weakening their strength.

Relying solely on the remaining disciples might not be enough to deal with Gan Liu, but if they could persuade Medical Buddha through Xia Xing and Feng San, that would be different. Medical Buddha might even save their lives at a critical moment.

"Fine, a melon forced off its vine is not sweet, since Medical Buddha also thinks highly of Gong Zhu, I will pass on the throne of Emperor of Soldiers to her. This crossbow..."

Xia Bingxin’s eyes greedily followed the crossbow in Feng Bailing’s hands.

Feng Bailing readily handed over the crossbow to Xia Bingxin.

Afterward, Xia Bingxin publicly declared that Feng San was a subordinate of Medical Buddha, that Medical Buddha’s archery was the best in the world, and that having been defeated by Medical Buddha, she planned to retreat and cultivate in seclusion.

After her retreat, the throne of Emperor of Soldiers was passed on to her direct disciple, Xia Xing, who, from that day on, would take over all affairs of Soldier Inn. Seizing this opportunity, Xia Xing began to reorganize the Mercenary World.

During the night, within the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

"That’s the course of events. Do you have a method to investigate the situation of Noble Consort Dugu?"

For the sake of safety, Feng Bailing ordered Lady Lai to destroy all the goods carrying the virus. Feng Bailing had not forgotten his original purpose which was to investigate news related to Noble Consort Dugu.

"I need about ten days to investigate this person. However, according to what you’ve said, this person is definitely not simple and is very likely to be connected to the group behind Soldier King Qi."

Gong Zhu is astute and quickly picked up on a few leads. However, all these suspicions still need to be confirmed.
