Chapter 55: Successful Evacuation

“Ye Feng, you’re really back!” As soon as Ye Feng entered the house following Long Yue, he was surrounded by Xu Qiang and the others.
“Mm, I came back a couple of days ago because of some matters,” Ye Feng nodded. “I’ve just been too busy to return to school… How are you all?”
“A couple of days ago, someone pretended to be you, lured us out of school, and then kidnapped us…” Lao Ba said excitedly.
“I know. Before rescuing you, I contacted the boss, and he told me that the shapeshifter is dead!” Ye Feng shook his head.
“Have you joined some kind of spy organization?” Lao Liu asked with envy. “What about me? Can I join too?”
“Mm, sort of!” Ye Feng smiled indifferently, then shook his head and patted Lao Liu’s shoulder. “Your physical condition is okay, but it’s still far from what we require! Study hard and find a good job instead!”
“Ye Feng, given their current situation, it’s probably not suitable for them to return to your school. If anyone in Pearl sees that it was you who did this today, they’ll trouble them again!” Long Yue thought it was unrealistic to let them go back to school.
“It’s fine. All video footage has been completely deleted, and I’ve erased the memories of the witnesses. As for those people’s bodies, I made sure they disappeared completely.” Ye Feng smiled. Before leaving, he had hidden himself so that Pearl and the others wouldn’t see him while cleaning up the scene. In fact, he had erased the memories of all witnesses for the entire day and dealt with those non-human corpses before leaving.
“You have so many tools…” Long Yue was still shaken by all the strange gadgets that seemed to appear out of nowhere for Ye Feng.
“Mm, there are all kinds of weird things for sale on the black market, and most of them aren’t expensive. I just bought many things because I thought they were interesting.” Ye Feng wasn’t telling the truth, but these words were enough to cover up for the two noble ladies who had never been to the black market where hunters gathered.
“You can go back to school with complete confidence,” Ye Feng said, crossing his arms.
“It seems you’ve fully mastered this business in just a few months!” Long Yue laughed while shaking her head.
“That’s how this job is. If you leave even the slightest clue, people will come to cause trouble. After getting troubled a few times, you naturally develop good habits…” Ye Feng shrugged helplessly.
“How long do you three plan to stay in City H?”

“Let’s go check on Long Ao first to see how he’s doing. If he can handle things without problems, we can leave without worry. If he’s in trouble and needs our help, we might have to wait until things settle down for him. But given his personality, he definitely won’t agree to let us get involved. So, we’ll have to go back first and ask our father to send someone to help.” Long Yue gave an uncertain answer.
“Okay, just call me before leaving. I’ll take them back to school first.” After saying that, Ye Feng prepared to leave. At the door, he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, before we set off, you’d better call your dad and let him know I’m going to pay my respects. Otherwise, he might not let me in when I get there.”
“Got it! Don’t worry!” Long Yue turned to Zhuge Ling’er. “He might think I’m a forgetful old woman…”
“It’s understandable for him to worry. After all, those stubborn elders in your family are really difficult to deal with. Although this isn’t their concern, it would be troublesome if they interfered last minute.” Zhuge Ling’er knew well how the Long family operated.
“If any of those old guys makes things difficult during my brother’s memorial, I swear I’ll turn on them right there and make them look foolish! If I really become the head of the family in the future, I’ll definitely cause them trouble often!” Long Yue said with a dark expression.
“Sister Yue, that’s taking personal revenge…” Zhuge Ling’er stuck out her tongue.
“Ling’er, my brother suffered a lot in the Long family during his lifetime. I don’t want anyone to disturb him even after he’s dead…” Long Yue shook her head. “Besides, my father is different from yours. He’s too straight-laced and inflexible. That’s why those old guys can keep using rules and regulations to restrict him and control him.”
Zhuge Ling’er simply lowered her head and listened silently…
…
Total combat value: 743
Strength: 172
Speed: 178
Mental strength: 191
Innate internal energy: 202
Ye Feng lay on the bed with his hands on his head, quietly looking at his combat stats. In just a few days, his strength had nearly doubled.
“Even during a period of rapid growth, Yi Fan’s mental strength only increased by less than 200 points in four months,” Ye Feng muttered. Yet in his case, all his stats had increased significantly in less than a week. “Could it be because of practicing the ‘Wu Dian’?”

Yet Ye Feng indeed felt that every time he practiced the “Wu Dian,” his body absorbed energy from the outside, which then gathered into a stream of heat that moved along a specific path before being delivered to his dantian.
“Damn, it’s still the first page!” Ye Feng sent his mental energy into his sea of consciousness and reached for the book, but the content was exactly the same as what he had seen before—no changes at all. Since obtaining the “Wu Dian,” Ye Feng could only see the content of the first page, which taught how to absorb energy from the outside and provided a route for its flow. He would absorb energy every day until he felt a sense of fullness in his dantian, at which point he would stop.
Ye Feng also tried repeatedly to learn something else, but to his frustration, he couldn’t turn to the second page of the “Wu Dian,” no matter how many times he tried.
“If the second page can’t be opened, it means its access requires certain conditions, and these conditions are most likely related to my strength…” Ye Feng frowned slightly, guessing the reason why he couldn’t turn to the second page. “For now, I can only proceed according to the content of the first page…”
Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes and began another day of practice, following the instructions on the first page of the “Wu Dian” once again…
