Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Identity Background
Hearing Yang Fei’s question, Wang Hui shook his head and said, "I don’t know that."
Yang Fei slightly frowned.
Wang Hui hurriedly explained, "The true leading figures of Sky Net are all very mysterious, and even I only recognize one of them. When they discuss matters, they always appear after disguising themselves, being very cautious and secretive. Zhang Yunlong could appear at that leaders’ meeting, so his identity is probably not simple."
Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but ask, "Innate Realm experts can change their appearance completely by moving their facial muscles and even slightly adjusting their bones’ positions. How could Zhang Yunlong show his true face? Are you sure you have really seen him?"
Yang Fei too stared at Wang Hui, their gazes sharp, making Wang Hui’s heart thump nervously, not daring to hide anything as he explained, "Indeed, Zhang Yunlong wasn’t using his real face at that time, but his physique..."
"Innate Realm experts can change both their appearance and physique," Qin Yanyang said.
Wang Hui nodded, "Yes, but I had seen Zhang Yunlong before that, especially the two moles on his neck which are not very prominent. Besides, he couldn’t hide his aura."
Qin Yanyang was familiar with Zhang Yunlong, so after giving it some thought, she silently nodded.
Indeed, there were two moles on Zhang Yunlong’s neck, but they were not large and would hardly be noticed by anyone. The only reason she remembered them was because of her careful observation.
Yang Fei’s focus, however, was slightly different. Looking at Wang Hui, he said, "You mentioned that Zhang Yunlong’s aura cannot be concealed, so you must be very familiar with his cultivation technique, right? You should be no more than forty years old. With your age and cultivation, you must not be someone unknown, otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Zhang Yunlong. Which sect or school are you from?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hui’s expression changed, and he averted his gaze as he said, "I’ve been cultivating under a martial eccentric of the Martial Arts World since I was young, and it was merely a coincidence that I encountered Zhang Yunlong."
Yang Fei kept his stare fixed on him and, seeing Wang Hui’s evasive eyes, he chuckled lightly, "It seems you don’t want to live."
Startled, Wang Hui hurriedly said, "Of course I want to live, small... cough cough, Yang Fei, Miss Qin, I beg you to give me a chance to live. As long as you spare me, I, Wang Hui, will be eternally grateful and handsomely repay you. Moreover, I wasn’t targeting you this time. I was just unlucky, encountering you all while on a mission. I... I..."
He repeated the word ’I’ several times, his face showing frustration.
To think that he, a Unique Tier martial expert, would encounter four other Unique Tier warriors on a mission — where was the sense in that?
Wasn’t the intelligence report saying that the girl had dismissed her bodyguards and was acting alone with only Yang Fei?
He had some understanding of Yang Fei, knowing that this youngster was a rising star in the Divine Continent Martial World, famous for having killed Yan Zhongshan in a single strike, very impressive indeed.
In his view, Yang Fei would at most be at the Seventh or Eighth Grade of the Energy Transformation Realm.
Even if he were at the Ninth Grade of the Energy Transformation Realm, Wang Hui would be able to suppress Yang Fei easily.
But to his surprise, Yang Fei’s battle strength was so formidable that with just one move, he had left Wang Hui with surging blood and severe injuries.
"You haven’t shown the sincerity that you want to live," Yang Fei said with a smile as he looked at him.
He understood the frustration of the man before him and couldn’t help wanting to laugh.
Indeed, the man was unlucky — he just happened to bump into Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao coming to see him, and Li Xuanyu had arranged to dine with him and Qin Yanyang.
With a pained expression, Wang Hui said, "I’m sincere, Yang Fei. I, Wang Hui, swear to heaven that as long as you let me go, I will be eternally grateful and will repay you greatly in the future."
Qin Yanyang looked towards Yang Fei. She truly felt it was too cruel and wasteful to kill such a Unique Tier expert.
Yang Fei knew his wife was kind-hearted, but he would not let Wang Hui off easily. Looking at Wang Hui, he said, "Whether your name is truly unknown is a mystery. How can I believe what you’ve said upon our first meeting? Since you want to live, then show your worth. Do you think a criminal with no value has the possibility of being forgiven?"
The man before them had evaded their gaze when they inquired about his sect earlier.
It suggested that his background was significant, possibly not wanting others to know which sect or Martial Arts Family of the Martial World he hailed from, or that he was serving Sky Net.
"Be more forthcoming, or I won’t let you leave," Yang Fei said, his smile gone, and a cold murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
Wang Hui shivered inside. He felt that Yang Fei meant what he said.
This kid is decisive in killing and ruthless in his actions, and the whole Martial Arts World is abuzz with rumors about it.
Furthermore, now that he knows Yang Fei’s combat strength is off the charts, able to defeat him with just one move, he instinctively feels awe.
"My name really is Wang Hui, and everything I said before is true. As for the origin of my mentorship lineage, I... I’m not trying to hide it, but even if I told you, you wouldn’t have heard of it," Wang Hui said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanyang smiled confidently and said, "You just have to say it, and I will know."
Wang Hui gave her a glance, his expression changing several times, before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "I come from the Wang Family of the Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei furrowed his brows, completely puzzled, obviously having never heard of this aristocratic family.
Qin Yanyang’s pupils shrank slightly, her expression becoming serious.
Noticing the change in Qin Yanyang’s demeanor, Wang Hui was slightly surprised, "You know of the Hidden Sect?"
Qin Yanyang slowly nodded, her gaze sharply fixated on Wang Hui, "Are your words true?"
"I want to live, I would not lie. Such matters can be verified, lying would be pointless," Wang Hui said.
Qin Yanyang suddenly recalled another matter and asked, "So when you met Zhang Yunlong before, was it also within the Hidden Sect?"
A hint of admiration flashed in Wang Hui’s eyes as he nodded and said, "Miss Qin is indeed intelligent. You’re correct, I met him five years ago within the Hidden Sect."
Although Yang Fei was somewhat curious about the Hidden Sect, he was not in a hurry to ask questions. He knew that Qin Yanyang would explain it to him.
Just by looking at Qin Yanyang’s expression, he knew that the Hidden Sect must be extremely powerful, with no small reputation.
Meanwhile, Wang Hui was observing Yang Fei.
He himself was already considered a genius in cultivation, but it was only upon meeting Yang Fei that he realized there existed talents even more heaven-defying than himself in the world.
Yang Fei was only in his early twenties, yet he had already stepped into the Innate Realm at such an age, a talent that even seemed more exaggerated than Zhang Yunlong’s.
No, although Zhang Yunlong’s talent was formidable, his success was not solely due to his innate ability, but also because of the numerous methods of the Hidden Sect.
The young man before him, Yang Fei, regardless of whether he had also used many special secret techniques, had already entered the Innate Realm at such a young age, which in itself was a heaven-defying talent for cultivation.
Therefore, in his view, Yang Fei’s mentorship lineage should also hail from the Hidden Sect.
But now, through observation, it seemed Yang Fei had not even heard of the Hidden Sect, which secretly amazed him.
It really was as the elders in his family said: the Martial Arts World is vast, with heavens beyond heavens, and exceptionally gifted individuals truly abound everywhere.
"Miss Qin, now that you know the origins of my mentorship lineage, you should understand that I would not dare to deceive you. So please spare me this once; I assure you I’ll remember this kindness," Wang Hui said to Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang slowly nodded, looking at Yang Fei and saying, "We cannot kill him."
Whether or not to spare Wang Hui was of no concern to Yang Fei. Since Qin Yanyang said so, he naturally would not object.
Qin Yanyang, fearing he might not understand, said, "The Hidden Sect is very particular, I’ll explain to you later. He wouldn’t dare deceive us since as a disciple of the Hidden Sect, he shouldn’t be appearing here, let alone working for Sky Net."
Yang Fei smiled and nodded, "As long as you’ve decided, it’s fine. You don’t need to explain to me. But whether his name is real, that remains to be seen."
Wang Hui hurriedly said, "I can swear to the heavens, if there is even half a lie in what I’ve said today, I, Wang Hui, will not die a good death."
Yang Fei chuckled and looked at him, "Since my wife has decided to spare you, I’ll let you live. However, I have one condition."
Wang Hui hastily said, "Just say it, I’ll do whatever I can."
