Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 228 - 156: This Favor Is Overwhelming_3

Before long.

Liu Jinhu arrived at Zhenbei Prison as well.

"Loulan Slash, you killed Jin Muchuan."

"Zhenbei Prison."

"Old Prison Doctor!"

"He’s the mysterious figure behind Han Dong."

"So it turns out the one stirring up trouble behind the Young Master is actually a Demon Sect disciple."

Liu Jinhu was furious.

Ever since Cao Zhengyang was killed and the ledger was lost, all sorts of mishaps had occurred, countless plans built over the years were destroyed, yet he couldn’t find the real culprit; now, he finally knew who’d been pulling the strings.

"I need to head south immediately and inform the Young Master."

Liu Jinhu was still recovering from his injuries. During this time, he’d been living in the Imperial City instead of following the Second Prince south to suppress the rebel faction. Now that he knew who’d been behind it all, he could wait no longer.

After he’d left,

Many officials from the Court came one after another.

The Emperor also dispatched three top experts from the Imperial City to investigate.

Kui Han was among them.

"Boom!"

Just as they were examining the scene,

Scholar Chaihu descended from the sky.

His aura was weak.

Blood streaked his lips.

It was clear he’d gained no benefit from Uncle Fu.

"Why didn’t you help me just now?"

Scholar Chaihu interrogated Kui Han.

Kui Han had been present when Uncle Fu made his move; had Kui Han lent a hand, perhaps Uncle Fu could have been detained.

"Immortal Master, please calm your anger. This is a grievance between your Yun Gui Sect and the Demon Sect. I serve the Holy Emperor in the Imperial City. It would be unfitting for me to intervene."

Kui Han had expected this and explained.

"You... I want to see the Emperor."

Scholar Chaihu was fuming.

"The Holy Emperor has been waiting for you. Let me take you over."

Kui Han smiled again.

Scholar Chaihu closed his eyes in anger, slowly regulating his breath.

"By Lord Bao’s orders: the death of the Commander has been investigated. All shift-duty personnel may return home."

Officer Zhao relayed.

Meanwhile,

Li Zhang’s room had also been sealed off.

Jiang Feng heard the commotion.

Without looking back, he walked out of Zhenbei Prison.

And returned to Willow Alley.

"Xiao Jiang, I heard something happened in the prison. What’s going on?"

Uncle Huo heard the stir but not much detail.

He waited at the alley entrance for Jiang Feng.

"Uncle Huo, it’s late; go home and rest. Be careful your wife thinks you snuck out for a drink again."

Jiang Feng reminded him.

"We’re already back in the alley! Come on, tell me, what happened?"

Uncle Huo couldn’t hold back his curiosity. Having been dismissed from his position these days, he was getting bored.

"It’s good news for you. Once Director Han returns from the south, you can go back to the prison."

Jiang Feng thought about it. Now that both Li Zhang and Lin Yuanfu were dead, he didn’t need to send Uncle Huo off to another prison. He could bring him straight back.

He patted Uncle Huo on the shoulder and headed into the courtyard himself.

"This... Hahaha, heavens have eyes! Tonight I really should have a drink."

Uncle Huo was stunned, then ran off excitedly toward the tavern.

Jiang Feng watched Uncle Huo leave, feeling a bit helpless; Uncle Huo couldn’t change his drinking habits. But in this harsh world, having something you enjoy is a blessing—even if, for Uncle Huo, it was rather expensive.

Sitting atop his bed,

Jiang Feng checked his panel information.

"Up by more than a hundred ten thousand; Uncle Fu’s favor is truly immense."

"The Second Prince, Seventh Prince, even Xiao Zhan and the rest, will now see him as the mysterious figure behind Sister Dong."

"He’s been lurking in Zhenbei Prison. Even if Sister Dong denies it, nobody else will believe her."

"Now everyone’s attention will be on Uncle Fu; I no longer need to fear being targeted by the Second Prince or Xiao Zhan."

"Yun Gui Sect won’t trouble me either."

"Whew!"

Jiang Feng let out a long breath.

He anticipated that the favor Uncle Fu spoke of was helping him draw attention, but he hadn’t imagined Uncle Fu had also mastered Loulan Slash, and by using it, had taken on all the blame for what he’d done.

Now the Second Prince, Xiao Zhan, the Seventh Prince, and Yun Gui Sect would never suspect him again.

"Repay kindness with kindness, revenge with revenge."

"Uncle Fu, I’ll return this favor one day." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Jiang Feng thought to himself.

Then, he disappeared into Willow Alley.

And headed for Chaoyang Alley.

He stood in the old courtyard where he’d once lived.

Gazing at the third courtyard in the northeast corner.

Jiang Feng remembered that home housed a mother and daughter; though he hadn’t expected their bond was not by blood, and that the girl had been adopted by Uncle Fu.

When he arrived,

Chaoyang Alley was quiet and deep with night.

Everything happening at Zhenbei Prison, the strife between Yun Gui Sect and the Demon Sect, had nothing to do with the common folk in the alley; at this hour, the "mother and daughter" were deep asleep.

Jiang Feng silently spirited away the little girl,

And placed her upon his shoulder.

Using his Monkey Escape Technique, he raced toward the South City Gate.

He maintained a moderate pace,

Ensuring the little girl could rest comfortably on his shoulder.

Meanwhile, he protected her body with true essence, blocking all the gales kicked up by his rapid speed.

Jiang Feng crossed the city gate, avoiding the attention of a squad of guards.

When he saw Tiger Fang Manor ahead,

Jiang Feng didn’t approach immediately.

He stopped on the mountainside to the left of Tiger Fang Manor, observing from a distance for a while.

Ever since Dark Hall was destroyed,

The manor, once the property of the Second Prince, had changed hands—bought by a merchant. Martial artists patrolled inside and out, and Jiang Feng saw no sign of Uncle Fu.

But he knew, since Uncle Fu had asked him to bring the girl here, he wouldn’t be deceived.

So he stirred nearby power of heaven and earth, creating a disturbance that would be sensed by innate powerhouses.

Not long after,

A battered figure darted from the rear of Tiger Fang Manor. It was none other than Uncle Fu.

Now, his face was pale, his breath chaotic.

He looked even worse off than Scholar Chaihu, making Jiang Feng realize just how strong Yun Gui Sect was—if Uncle Fu ended up like this, what would happen if Jiang Feng faced Scholar Chaihu?

"Who goes there?"

Suddenly, someone burst out of Tiger Fang Manor.

There was actually an innate powerhouse hiding inside. Sensing the change in the power of heaven and earth here, they shot over as a blurred shadow.

Jiang Feng looked closely—it was a woman.

She held a long sword, soaring forward like a butterfly.
