Liu Guanfeng nodded, understanding Chen Yuer's desire to kill him. After all, he was someone who had traveled from another world and could imagine the actions of certain second-generation officials and wealthy heirs, especially a spoiled young girl.
Thinking of this, Liu Guanfeng lay on the bed and cupped his fist towards Song Qun, saying, "Brother Song's kindness is remembered by Liu Guanfeng. Younger Brother thanks you here."
Song Qun continued to nod in response. "Brother Song has no great abilities and can only help in these matters. What do you plan to do next? Is there anything you need my help with?"
Liu Guanfeng leaned back on the bed. "Elder Brother, this matter I will resolve personally, but not right now. Younger Brother is not a narrow-minded person, but I will not allow myself to be bullied."
Song Qun nodded. "If there's anything else I can help with, just let me know."
Liu Guanfeng inclined his body slightly. "I won't trouble Elder Brother too much in the future."
Having said what needed to be said, Song Qun stood up. "Younger Brother, take good care of yourself at home. I will head back now."
"Elder Brother, why are you leaving so hurriedly? It would be nice for you to stay a few more days so that Younger Brother can show some hospitality."
Song Qun shook his head. "Now that I know you have regained consciousness and your injuries are not serious, Elder Brother can rest easy. I still need to return and inform Eastern Boss. When they heard about your assassination attempt, they all wanted to come see you. But as you know, Eastern Boss's leg prevented him from coming. They told me to inform them immediately if your condition improved; they are all very worried about you."
Hearing this warmed Liu Guanfeng's heart. In the past, when he was ill, it was always his mother by his side, while others showed little concern for him. Now that he had been attacked, so many people were worried about him.
"Since that's the case, Younger Brother won't keep Elder Brother any longer. One day, I will treat Elder Brother to drinks."
"Haha! It's a promise. Once you recover, make sure to invite me for drinks."
"Definitely! Please inform Eastern Boss when you return so they can feel at ease."
"Alright, I'm leaving now."
"Elder Brother, take care. Younger Brother won't see you off." After saying this, Song Qun cupped his hands towards Liu Guanfeng and left the room. He quickly mounted his Hedgehog and headed straight for Starfall City.
In the palace of Starfall City, Giant Crocodile Knight Zhou Jianwei had returned. Since the morning court session was already over, Zhou Jianwei went directly to Sun Guangshan's study. Standing at the door, Zhou Jianwei adjusted his clothes and said, "I have matters to report to Your Majesty."
Upon hearing that Zhou Jianwei had something to discuss, Sun Guangshan immediately set down the memorial he was holding. "Come in."
"Yes." Zhou Jianwei entered and approached Sun Guangshan's Dragon Writing Desk, kneeling on one knee as he spoke, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Rise," Sun Guangshan said, looking at the kneeling Zhou Jianwei with a stern expression. Zhou Jianwei stood up.
"What do you wish to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have just returned from Liu Manor in Rain City. When I left, Liu Guanfeng had already awakened, and his injuries have greatly improved; recovery is only a matter of time."
Sun Guangshan nodded upon hearing that Liu Guanfeng was no longer in danger of losing his life, then continued to coldly stare at Zhou Jianwei. "Zhou Jianwei, do you acknowledge your crime?"
Hearing this, Zhou Jianwei knelt again. "Your Majesty, I acknowledge my crime."
"Wherein lies your crime?"
"I bear the guilt of inadequate protection, which led to Liu Guanfeng suffering severe injuries. I ask for Your Majesty's punishment."
"Since you are aware of your fault, I shall not elaborate further. You are hereby stripped of your position as Captain of the Giant Crocodile Knights and demoted to a regular soldier. Additionally, you are fined five hundred gold coins to be given to Liu Guanfeng for his recovery. Do you accept this?" Sun Guangshan immediately pronounced the sentence on Zhou Jianwei.
"I thank Your Majesty for sparing my life."
"You may leave."
"I take my leave." With that, Zhou Jianwei stood up and exited the Imperial Study.
In the past few days, many people have approached Sun Guangshan, all requesting to suppress the matter concerning Liu Guanfeng. Sun Guangshan has been troubled by this issue and ultimately decided to first assess Liu Guanfeng's injuries. If Liu Guanfeng were to lose his life due to this incident, he would have to find the murderer and bring them to justice. However, if Liu Guanfeng's life was not in danger, then there would be no need for further investigation.
During the investigations over the past few days, Sun Guangshan had already learned about the entire sequence of events. He now knew that the mastermind and the perpetrator behind this incident were both associated with Chen Residence and Ma Mansion. Faced with these two powerful families, Sun Guangshan was cautious not to offend them too deeply. Upon hearing that Liu Guanfeng had regained consciousness, he made a decision.
Sun Guangshan summoned Master Huang and whispered a few instructions in his ear before Master Huang exited the Imperial Study.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Master Huang quietly made his way to Chen Residence and directly sought out Chen Xingqi. As soon as Chen Xingqi learned that Master Huang had arrived, he rushed out to greet him and led him into the living room. After asking all the servants to leave, Master Huang approached Chen Xingqi.
"Master of the Chen Family, do you know why I have come today?"
Chen Xingqi shook his head. "Please enlighten me, Eunuch."
"The Emperor has already learned the truth of the matter, which should involve your Chen Residence," Master Huang said, glancing at Chen Xingqi, who lowered his head attentively without showing any expression. Master Huang smiled slightly.
"And the mastermind behind this incident should be Miss Yu, correct?" At this point, Chen Xingqi's expression changed. He took out twenty gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Master Huang. "Please speak well of our Yu'er in front of His Majesty."
Master Huang pushed the gold coins back to Chen Xingqi. "I am here today on His Majesty's orders; he does not wish for this matter to be publicized. However, His Majesty is quite fond of Liu Guanfeng, so it cannot simply be overlooked."
As a leader in the underworld, Chen Xingqi understood this situation well. "Please clarify how much gold my Chen Family needs to provide."
"Master of the Chen Family, His Majesty did not specify an amount; he only wishes to see how sincere your family's attitude is in admitting fault."
Chen Xingqi thought for a moment. "Very well, my Chen Family will provide ten thousand gold coins for Liu Guanfeng's recovery. Additionally, we will prepare a Millennium Ginseng and some other supplements." With determination, he handed over the ten thousand gold coins.
Master Huang nodded in approval; before leaving, Sun Guangshan had instructed him that five thousand gold coins would be the minimum amount expected. The fact that Chen Xingqi offered ten thousand made him very pleased, especially since he had a fondness for Liu Guanfeng's resourcefulness.
Next, Master Huang went to Ma Mansion and conveyed the same message to Ma Weiwu. Ma Weiwu immediately agreed to provide eight thousand gold coins along with a century-old Lingzhi mushroom and some nourishing items.
Master Huang returned to the palace in high spirits and reported back to Sun Guangshan.
The next day, the Chen Family and the Ma Family quietly delivered eighteen thousand gold coins to the palace. When Sun Guangshan saw the gold coins and nourishing items, he smiled slightly. He then withdrew two thousand gold coins from the treasury, totaling twenty thousand gold coins. Subsequently, he dispatched two teams of Giant Crocodile Knights to escort these twenty thousand gold coins and two carts of nourishing items to Liu Guanfeng.
After the knights delivered the items to Rain City, the captain handed a letter to Liu Guanfeng. Liu Guanfeng slowly opened the letter, which conveyed that these nourishing items were for his recovery from King Sun Guangshan, and the gold coins were meant to provide him with some comfort. The letter also expressed a hope that Liu Guanfeng would not dwell too much on this matter. Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly; he understood Sun Guangshan's difficulties. The fact that so much gold could be obtained from both families indicated Sun Guangshan's fondness for him, and Liu Guanfeng was well aware of the significance of the Chen Family and Ma Family in Starfall Kingdom.
Furthermore, Liu Guanfeng had never intended to seek immediate revenge, as both families were still too powerful for him. They were formidable enough that even King Sun Guangshan had to yield.
After reading the letter, Liu Guanfeng assured that he would act according to the king's instructions and expressed his gratitude for the king's generosity. After sending off the escorting knights, Liu Guanfeng entrusted all the items to his steward Liu Fu and continued his recovery.
Thus, a sensational assassination case involving a student in Starfall Kingdom quietly came to an end.
Everyone's lives gradually returned to normal, and Liu Guanfeng began to focus on his recovery. In fact, his injuries were not as severe as he had imagined; within a month, they had mostly healed. However, Nangong Rong insisted that Liu Guanfeng stay home and rest instead of returning to school.
Since childhood, Liu Guanfeng had not been fond of attending school, so he was quite happy when his mother forbade him from going. Each day at home consisted of light exercises and practicing in his room. After more than a month of training, Liu Guanfeng had thoroughly mastered the third layer of the Chaos Initial Skill's Mind Method.
Once Liu Guanfeng fully grasped this third layer, he used the power of the Dragon Pearl to successfully open three more meridians. Thus far, he had opened twelve meridians in total. According to the ranking system for knights, Liu Guanfeng was now considered a high-level Junior Knight.
This was already a miracle; a seven-year-old child achieving high-level Junior Knight status was remarkable. The graduation standard for Intermediate Knight Academy required students to reach medium-level Junior Knight status. This meant that Liu Guanfeng, who had just entered the second year of Junior Knight Academy, had already met the graduation criteria for Intermediate Knight Academy.
After opening twelve meridians, every night he engaged in comprehending the fourth layer of Chaos Initial Skill—Chaos Decomposition—within the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array. Chaos Decomposition differed from Chaotic Separation; while Chaotic Separation transformed a single Chaotic Qi into a single Five Element Attributes Fighting Qi, Chaos Decomposition broke down one Chaotic Qi into five equal segments of elemental Fighting Qi.
Thus, in terms of difficulty, Chaos Decomposition was significantly more challenging than Chaotic Separation. Despite nearly a month of effort, Liu Guanfeng still found himself without any clues regarding it.
