Primordial Cultivator - Chapter 386: Caught Red-Handed
“Welcome back, Leader!” The people surrounding Jing Feng quickly shouted aloud as they bowed their heads in respect.
Although they were living under a sewage-like underground tunnel, their appearance wasn’t haggard nor dressed in poor attire.
Instead, they were dressed in clean clothes and well-mannered in terms of etiquette. .
Jing Feng glanced at them for a few minutes before nodding her head.
“It seems like you haven’t disappointed me throughout the years when I wasn’t here to manage you all.” She said calmly.
“Leader, we have listened to your order diligently back then. None of us dared to even idle around and waste time.” One of them said in response.
Jing Feng turned around to face him.
“You’re Di Muzhi, right. Not bad, your cultivation base has actually reached the 7th Stage of Nascent Soul Realm.” Jing Feng said, giving out a clap to praise him for his effort.
Di Muzhi scratched his head slightly in embarrassment.
“Leader, you must be jestering… How can I be worthy of your praise?” He said nervously.
“Hahaha, Di Muzhi, you should just accept the praise from the Leader.”
“I know right, everyone here knows how terrible your condition was when you first arrived.”
Di Muzhi really wanted to smack the other people for talking nonsense in front of Jing Feng.
“Alright, that’s enough of messing around.” Jing Feng decided to intervene and stop their farce.
As much as she enjoyed this type of situation in the past, she could not afford to waste any time idling around.
Soon, a calm and cool expression appeared on her face as she took a deep breath.
“According to an intel that I’ve received from Cui Liu… the bastard that backstabbed me was colluding with the Dark Soul Clan.” Jing Feng said in a murderous tone.
Without Yang Wei’s presence around her, she was like a demon without any shackles on her. She didn’t need to hide her anger and murderous aura against her enemy.
The group that heard Jing Feng’s tone of speech had hurriedly changed their carefree attitude.
Even Di Muzhi who was looking embarrassed a few seconds ago was exuding a cold aura.
“Leader, do you want us to capture him right now and torture him?” Di Muzhi cupped his fist and suggested capturing Yi Renshu. “That scumbag Yi Renshu should meet his punishment now.”
Alas, Jing Feng quickly shook her head and shot down his suggestion.
“Di Muzhi, if I really follow your suggestion, then wouldn’t my years of suffering go to waste?” Jing Feng said with a bright smile.
However, everyone could tell those are the smiles of death. It would only appear when a person truly wants the worse from someone else.
“If we simply torture Yi Renshu physically, then that would not be enough to satisfy me. I want him to live in a life worse than hell- no I want him to suffer a fate without any hope left in him.” Jing Feng laughed menacingly as she flicked her hand and threw out multiple documents to the people inside the underground passage.
“Cui Liu had already gathered lots of information, and it seemed like Yi Renshu was going to get engaged with the Tianlong Sect Patriarch’s daughter. I definitely don’t want to see another helpless woman being backstabbed by a bastard.” She added.
Her words and meanings were clear enough for everyone to know what Jing Feng wanted.
“Leader, rest assured, I will quickly dispatch people to the Tianlong Sect and I will personally lead the mission,” Di Muzhi quickly volunteered himself.
Jing Feng nodded her head.
“I hope to see the good news within 4 days, Di Muzhi.”
“I’ll complete the task in 3 days.”
Afterward, Di Muzhi directly vanished from sight using some secret techniques.
As for the rest of the group, they also quickly left to assist Di Muzhi’s mission and sabotage the Yi Clan’s business.
They had been waiting for far too long for this day to happen. After all, they were people that should have been dead if it weren’t for Jing Feng’s generosity and taking them in.
Thus, their lives had long belonged to Jing Feng, and whatever she ordered, they would complete it without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Jing Feng reminisced about her old days of being the shadow in the Central Zone.
“Haa, when did it become so exhausting to command people nowadays?” Jing Feng rubbed her chin.
Though she only pondered for a moment before remembering that she still needed to return back to the Kong Clan.
‘Hopefully, I didn’t get caught by Yang Wei that I sneaked out today. He will definitely give me an earful if he knew what I did.’ She thought.
Sometime later, Jing Feng activated the same teleportation rune and reappeared in the room that Kong Yusheng lent to her.
Instantly, Jing Feng glanced around the surroundings and didn’t see Yang Wei.
“Phew, I didn’t get caught…” Jing Feng muttered as she patted her chest lightly.
Honestly, she was really frightened about getting caught. Being reprimanded by your loved one is never a fun thing.
Just when Jing Feng tried to take some of her clothes off to change into something light, her expression turned ashen when she realized a familiar person was hiding in her bed.
“W-W-What are you doing there?” Jing Feng asked stutteringly, her foot involuntarily taking a step back.
“What am I doing here you asked? Shouldn’t that be my question for you instead, Jing Feng?” Yang Wei then stood up and held a glaring look at her.
“It’s nighttime already, yet I didn’t see you in your room. Did you know how worried I was?” He asked, with his voice rising higher.
Jing Feng trembled slightly as she cursed at Kong Yusheng silently in her mind.
‘Aren’t you supposed to be training Yang Wei? Just how could he allow Yang Wei to get some rest this quickly?’ Jing Feng thought.
Now that she is caught red-handed, she needs to find a way to pacify Yang Wei.
“I went out to gather some herbs to concoct a new recipe, Yang Wei.” She said in confidence.
