"Hello, is this Wuma You? This is Feng Zi." As soon as the call connected, I spoke up.
"Oh, it's you!" Wuma You sounded surprised and then excitedly asked, "What made you think of calling me?"
"Well, it's like this..." I had just started to explain when Wuma You interrupted, "How about we collaborate on a big deal we have here?"
I was taken aback and couldn't help but smile as I tentatively asked, "Is Pei Zi leading this?"
"Of course!" Wuma You replied without hesitation.
"Okay, what's the time and place?" I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"October 1st, Jiangxi Panyang Hubei Lake Area. We'll contact each other by phone then! Old Wu will treat you all to a feast!" Wuma You's voice sounded a bit excited, speaking without any ambiguity.
I wasn't polite either and replied directly, "Alright, it's a deal."
After hanging up, I called Xianxian and the others to share the news. Everyone expressed their willingness to go. Wang Yi was even planning whether to set up another base over there. As for Lime, he completely ignored our conversation and had already gone off to practice with his sword early in the morning.
At that moment, Wang Yi received a phone call. After saying a few words, he ran over to me with an excited expression and said, "Brother Feng, I've taken care of what you asked me to do, haha!"
"Stop rambling and get to the point," Xianxian interjected first, giving Wang Yi a glare. "You're already the team leader; why are you still so reckless? How have I been teaching you?" Although she said that, her eyes still revealed a sense of pride since Wang Yi had been doing quite well lately.
Wang Yi chuckled, his rugged face appearing somewhat innocent as he said, "I've always remembered the boss's teachings! But since no one else is around here, there's no need to keep a straight face. Hehe, Brother Feng..." Wang Yi looked at me again and continued, "Isn't it a coincidence? The one named Liu Xinying and her son just reported that they are living in Jiangxi. We can take care of them at the same time!"
"That is quite a coincidence!" I nodded. Since they were in the same area, we wouldn't need to run around to two places—perfect!
"Hey hey hey, Fengfeng, why do I feel like your smile is getting more and more mischievous?" Xianxian suddenly spoke up, her eyes sparkling as she stared at me intently.
"Really?" I touched my lips and replied nonchalantly, "Maybe you've influenced me."
Xianxian immediately jumped up, "What did you say?!"
"Hehehe~" Snow Princess covered her mouth and chuckled, reaching out her arm to pull Xianxian back onto the sofa. Pouting her rosy, plump lips, she said, "You two are getting along better and better, Fairy. I'm getting jealous!"
Ugh! I shot a disdainful glance at Xianxian. "Who has a good relationship with him!"
"Returning your words!" Xianxian also glanced at me, wrapping her arms around Snow Princess and laughing flirtatiously, "Snow Princess, be good. This Lord likes you the most; I only have a good relationship with you!"
"Really?" Snow Princess raised an eyebrow, unable to hide her smile.
"Of course!" Xianxian's eyes sparkled with hearts as she hugged Snow Princess and started kissing her.
I looked at the two of them with disdain. Showing off their affection, they'll die quickly!
Just as I walked out, I bumped into someone face-to-face. I stopped in my tracks, looked at the person, and asked, "Why aren't you taking care of your injuries properly?"
The person was Fu Song. The serious injury that Wang Yi mentioned actually looked severe on the surface, but in reality, it still needed many days to heal. "I'm fine," Fu Song shook his head and handed me a gray package. "There's a delivery for you."
"My delivery?" I took the package with confusion. It only had my name as the recipient written on it; there were no other messages, which was quite strange.
Walking to the balcony, I carefully opened the package and found only a letter inside. The font was written in black ink with a fountain pen—strong and vigorous. I recognized whose handwriting it was at a glance. A rush of heat surged to my head; I didn't even know how I felt at that moment.
It read:
Son,
When you see this letter, you may feel confused, angry, or sad. Just don't blame your father; I didn't mean to keep all this from you. Originally, I planned to bury these secrets deep in my heart and not let you get involved in those dirty matters. But your father knows that one day you will be drawn into it, so I entrusted this letter to an old friend for safekeeping until you truly need it.
What I want to tell you next is a great secret from our generation. For fifty years now, since your grandfather's time, our family has been searching for a secret that you probably already know about—yes, it's the Divine Sign.
What the Divine Sign is, we are not entirely sure. Your grandfather was inadvertently pulled into that vortex. In his generation, he did not find anything, and unfortunately, he went missing during a confrontation when I was eighteen. After that, Dad searched for a long time and during that period, he found something extremely valuable to me! That might have been the happiest moment of my life, but I also saw some of the filth behind the Radiance.
More than twenty years ago, I went on an adventure with a group of friends. We suffered significant losses during that expedition; many people in the team died. It was after that incident that I decided not to get involved in this matter anymore and to stop searching for the Divine Sign and immortality. However, Dad had already touched things he shouldn't have; those people wouldn't let him retire, so Dad might have to personally resolve the darkness left by that generation.
Remember, don't come looking for Dad. Just live well.
There was no signature or date. The letter ended here, with just over four hundred words, conveying very little information to me!
The paper had slightly yellowed, and the ink had long dried. It could be preliminarily determined that this letter was written two or three decades ago, after the incident involving Dad's expedition team.
I didn't know about these matters; Dad never told me about the expedition team or anything else. To be honest, I'm only in my early twenties now; I wasn't even born when Dad's expedition team had their accident.
For fifty years, has our Feng Family been searching for that secret? Including my Uncle and Second Uncle? Second Uncle has always acted very mysteriously; I know what kind of business he is involved in without guessing. However, Uncle is engaged in legitimate business; logically speaking, he shouldn't be targeted.
Yes, I no longer believe that shipwreck was just a simple accident. Now I consider many more things; I can say my perspective is much broader now. I'm no longer that naive kid from before; reality has forced me to grow up, and I'm happy with this growth. In fact, there are some things I've already forgotten at just twenty; many times I feel like I'm in my late twenties or early thirties.
Regarding the Cat's Eye Stone, indeed Dad didn't mention it, nor did he say a word about Mom.
The most important information is about that expedition team from over twenty years ago! Dad must have gone on that adventure because of Grandpa's disappearance, right? However, I'm really curious about where the expedition team went twenty years ago. Since many people died, it must not have been an ordinary place; it could very well be a major clue regarding Dad's disappearance!
Dad's life underwent significant changes because of that incident. Although I'm not sure if it relates to the current situation, I'm certain that what happened back then isn't over yet! Therefore, I must find that place!
"Little Phoenix, I heard you received a package. Hurry and show it to me; is it from your dad?" Xianxian walked over with a curious expression.
I glanced at him and asked, "How did you guess?"
Xianxian blinked his eyes and said, "So it really is from your dad! Quick, hurry up and let This Lord take a look!" While saying this, his hand was already reaching out to grab it.
I let go of my grip and allowed him to take a look while I sat aside deep in thought.
Because there wasn't much written above, Xianxian quickly finished reading and, seeing Snow Princess's curiosity, handed the letter directly to her. Then, he moved a stool to sit beside me and asked, "Are you still going to Jiangxi?"
"Why not?" I looked up at him in confusion.
Xianxian had a look that said "just pretend," and he turned away from me, saying, "Don't tell me you don't want to go to the places that the expedition team has been?"
I gave a wry smile, "What if I want to go? Do you know where it is?"
"I don't know," Xianxian replied straightforwardly. After pondering for a few seconds, he muttered to himself, "I really didn't expect there was such a thing. I've been in the organization for so many years and never heard anyone mention it. Is it true that the higher the magic, the deeper the secrets? Feng Yuanliang is hiding too deeply!"
"So you don't know about that expedition team either?" I asked.
Xianxian shook his head. "Stop laughing; that's so ugly! If I don't know, can't I just look it up? It's not just about twenty years; even if it's a matter of a hundred or a thousand years, we are still investigating!" After a pause, Xianxian continued, "Besides, we have so many people now. The League of Shadows has officially started operating; let Gao Liang's team mainly investigate the expedition team from twenty years ago!"
"Okay." I nodded.
Currently, the League of Shadows is divided into three teams. The captain Wang Yi is primarily responsible for operations.
The second captain Gao Liang, whose main job is as a doctor, is in charge of the rear guard. His main tasks are to gather intelligence and train his medical team and rear guard. He is now the main economic source for the League of Shadows, with all financial operations managed by him.
The third captain Zhao Yang has good skills and has been working hard on his training lately. His abilities have improved significantly; he can take on three opponents at once. He is also very steady in character and decisive when needed, so he is mainly responsible for training the members.
The investigation into the expedition team is beginning to intensify, while we are also starting preparations for matters concerning Pei Zi. We just don't know what that mysterious big deal is all about.
