"Cough, cough, you're not saying it right. I need to eat to have the strength to work, right?"
Li Tianjiao coughed dryly.
Hmph!
At this moment, Elder Bei beside him let out a cold snort, clearly looking down on Li Tianjiao!
Li Tianjiao's hand flashed with blue light, and with a raise of his hand, he knocked out Elder Bei!
"Hmph what hmph? Is it your turn to look down on me? Damn it, you've been making a lot of money all these years. When I confiscate your two families, let's see who dares to disobey!"
"It's not your turn to confiscate families!" Ling Feng casually replied.
"Ah? Why isn't it my turn?" Li Tianjiao glared unhappily. Confiscating families was where the real profit was.
Could it be that Ling Feng was planning to keep the most profitable business for himself?
But Ling Feng beckoned to Elder Xi, "Elder Xi, the wealth that those two families coveted, it's up to you to investigate. I believe you've heard about these matters before, but you've always turned a blind eye. If you handle this matter well this time, you can live out your remaining years in peace!"
Elder Xi's expression turned grim upon hearing this.
But then he smiled at Ling Feng and said, "Heh, thank you, Heavenly Venerate, for showing mercy!"
"Elder Xi is old, and I won't act rashly. However, if Elder Xi remembers anything important, please remember to mention it to us!"
Ling Feng did not hide his intention to punish Elder Xi.
Li Tianjiao, standing nearby, couldn't help but nudge Ling Feng on the shoulder.
"Hey, hey, that's enough. Elder Xi is a peacemaker. It was he who strongly recommended me for the position of Town King back then. He has contributed without fault all these years!"
"Indulgence is also a fault. How can there be no fault?" Ling Feng said impartially, not caring about Li Tianjiao's feelings at all.
Li Tianjiao was stunned and looked at Elder Xi awkwardly.
Elder Xi, however, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yes, Town North Heavenly Venerate is right. I do have faults!"
After speaking, Elder Xi looked at Ling Feng, his eyes showing a look of recollection. He said, "After the Heavenly Venerate's reminder just now, I do recall something. Before Elder Dong died, he seemed to have sent out some secret information. That was his own intelligence network that he had cultivated. Therefore, to investigate further, the Town King will have to personally handle it!"
Li Tianjiao's eyes widened a few more times upon hearing this.
"Elder Dong, that old fellow, was he really a spy?"
Ling Feng reached out and stopped Li Tianjiao, "Whether he's a spy or not, you'll have to investigate yourself. Elder Xi has said all he needed to say."
Li Tianjiao paused for a moment and then understood Ling Feng's meaning.
This was giving Elder Xi the final leniency and respect.
A relieved smile appeared on Elder Xi's face, and he nodded gratefully at Ling Feng.
Returning to the Elder's Court.
The video of Tian Geng, also known as Na Lan Xing, being apprehended on the spot was played.
The punishment of the two Supreme Elders was also fully revealed. With Elder Xi publicly explaining everything, who in the Elder's Court would dare to disobey?
After all, many experts from the Elder's Court who had been brought along had witnessed all of this.
It was just that when everyone heard that Elder Xi would also retire after dealing with the black market matters, it made them feel a bit wistful.
Elder Da and the others even stepped forward to plead with Li Tianjiao and Ling Feng.
But before Ling Feng and the two could respond, Elder Xi stopped them, stating that it was all voluntary.
On this night, the Elder's Court underwent a complete change of power.
As the sky darkened, Lu Qingyi also found Ling Feng.
"I've already heard about the matters in the Elder's Court. Furthermore, the Bai family has already arranged for people to secretly investigate me, and some have even made moves against me!"
Ling Feng sat on the sofa in the living room of the villa, and upon hearing this, he lazily leaned back on the sofa.
He casually replied, "Just kill them. The Bai family's foundation is not clean. Relying on some cultivation techniques, they have amassed wealth and committed all sorts of evil deeds. If you can eliminate them and confiscate their property, it would be a good thing!"
Lu Qingyi's lips twitched, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Are you reshuffling the deck?" Lu Qingyi bit her lower lip.
Ling Feng sat up slightly, "Is it that hard to tell? If everything is fine now, there would be no need to reshuffle. I still bear these responsibilities, so I naturally have to reshuffle."
"Okay, I understand. Then, how should we deal with that underground auction?"
Lu Qingyi was still a little worried, "Their methods are also quite ruthless, and the power of the black market is not small. Although the two Supreme Elders of the Elder's Court supported them from behind, most of their power is controlled by themselves. The Elder's Court only helped to cover things up and stabilize some matters, so as not to escalate the conflict. Your actions this time might provoke them."
"Are you here just for these matters?" Ling Feng shook his head, not responding to this.
"Not entirely. I've already told Li Tianjiao that I'll be joining the Elder's Court and working under him from now on."
Lu Qingyi said with a hint of embarrassment.
Ling Feng shrugged, "You don't need to report this to me. You're also someone who understands the concept of superiors and subordinates. You won't cause trouble under him."
"Who's causing trouble? I mean, when you're going to take action against that underground auction, can you bring me along?" Lu Qingyi finally revealed her true intention.
"Then just say it directly and save time. Let's go!"
Ling Feng stood up immediately.
Lu Qingyi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously followed Ling Feng out to the car.
After the car started, Lu Qingyi came back to her senses, "Hey, wait, you, did you arrange to take action long ago?"
"It's already in motion. We're going to clean up the mess now!" Ling Feng said casually.
"Clean up the mess?" Lu Qingyi gasped, "Do you know who the boss behind that auction is?"
"Yes, it's the third young master of the Li family, Li Zhuoxin, the head of the four great families in the capital," Ling Feng said casually.
"Li Zhuoxin? Why him?" Lu Qingyi's eyebrows furrowed tightly!
"Why can't it be him?" Ling Feng countered.
Lu Qingyi shook her head, "I've met this person twice since returning to the capital. He seems to be quite low-key, and he also donates a lot of money in secret, establishing schools and hospitals in many remote areas. Among the second-generation rich under thirty, he's quite positive. It's said that the Li family has handed over many of their group's core projects to him."
Ling Feng shook his head.
Remaining silent.
Lu Qingyi also felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and didn't know how to speak.
"Are you trying to plead for him?"
Abruptly, Ling Feng asked.
Lu Qingyi repeatedly shook her head, "It's not pleading. I just wanted to say, have the matters been investigated clearly..."
The more she said, the softer her voice became.
Would Ling Feng not investigate clearly?
Asking this question was rather absurd!
