From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 11 Why did Teng Zijing come?
Chen Qiye went to meet the person from the Inspection Institute alone, and their secret conversation ended soon.

After everyone left, Chen Qiye stood in the living room, stroking his chin and lost in thought.

The reason why the Inspection Institute was looking for him was to get rid of the Bai family. The other party did not say the specific reason, but Chen Qiye guessed that the Bai family must have done something wrong and the Inspection Institute did not want to waste time and directly took drastic measures.

But the person who performed the surgery obviously could not be someone from the Inspection Institute, so he became the best choice.

Firstly, he happened to have a grudge with Bai Chengxuan, but that was secondary. The most important thing was his own strength.

When participating in the hunting competition, many people saw that their strength was close to the fifth rank, and they were also archers. Such ability might be average in other places, but it was very conspicuous in a small place like Lezhou.

Teng Zijing, who led the group openly this time, is only a fourth-rank official, so it makes sense for the Inspection Institute to secretly seek cooperation with him.

However, compared to these questions, Chen Qiye was more curious about why Teng Zijing appeared here, as he was someone close to Fan Xian, the protagonist of Joy of Life.

"Sir, are you still listening to the music?"

Chen Qiye was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when Qin Feier appeared beside him.

His eyes moved slightly and he said, "I will listen, of course I will."

Qin Feier sat down next to her, holding the pipa, and started playing the strings with her fingers.

Seemingly speaking casually, "I didn't expect that you have friends in the Inspection Institute. This really surprised Fei'er!"

Chen Qiye waved his hand: "Miss Fei'er, you don't understand. There are some things that cannot be said carelessly. The Inspection Bureau is directly under the royal family and everything they do is for the sake of national law. How could they have a private relationship with a little dandy boy like me?"

"Please forgive me, Master, for being so talkative."

"It's okay, just be careful next time."

The atmosphere soon became quiet, leaving only the sound of the pipa, but this sound sounded absent-minded.

"What is the relationship between Miss Fei'er and the Bai family?"

"Ah?" Qin Feier was stunned by this sudden question.

"Sir, Fei'er and Mr. Bai San have absolutely no relationship beyond the line."

"That's not what I'm asking. I mean, has Miss Fei'er ever had any dealings with the Bai family? Or is she planning to have any dealings with them?"

The Inspection Bureau wants to get rid of the Bai family, so it must be that the Bai family has done something. The Inspectorate is generally responsible for foreign intelligence, so these associations make people imagine a lot.

For Chen Qiye, who can look at problems from a perspective beyond the entire world, he can think of even more things.

Brothels, Oirans, Fear of the Inspection Office...
Chen Qiye immediately thought of a person, that is Si Lili, one of the heroines, who is very popular.

And Si Lili is a secret agent of Northern Qi. So, could Qin Feier be one too?
But if it was really her who was colluding with the Bai family to cause trouble, then with the capabilities of the Inspection Institute, it is impossible that they were ready to eliminate the Bai family before finding out about Qin Feier.

This made him confused.

Qin Fei'er's face turned pale. "Sir, Fei'er has no relationship with the Bai family. It's just that the third son of the Bai family came to ask Fei'er to play a few songs. There's nothing else."

The Inspection Office was investigating the Bai family. She knew this when she heard Bai Chengxuan's reaction in Yingchun Tower that day.

She didn't know why the Bai family was being investigated. The only task she had received recently was to find a reasonable and useful identity to go to Kyoto and secretly cooperate with Si Lili. She knew nothing else.

To go to Kyoto, the identity must be reasonable and useful. Qin Feier observed for a long time before choosing Chen Qiye.

But no matter why the Bai family was investigated, if the Inspection Institute noticed her, she would be in danger. Now that Chen Qiye suddenly asked this, she didn't know if the other party had discovered anything.

But Qin Feier knew that she had to keep calm and try her best to make the other party think that she was panicking because she was afraid of being misunderstood as having an ambiguous relationship with Bai Chengxuan.

She looked at Chen Qiye pitifully and said, "Sir, Fei'er is yours. Except for you... you... I have always kept a distance from other people. Please trust Fei'er." Chen Qiye almost laughed. This woman was putting on an act for him.

However, he has not figured out what to do yet, so he will wait and see. If it is really necessary, he will decide whether to kill or not depending on the situation.

"Miss Fei'er, you'd better not go out during this period of time and stay at home."

Qin Fei'er certainly didn't dare to go out, she held the pipa and bowed: "Fei'er listens to you, Master."

After the chat, Chen Qiye began to continue to gain skill experience.

He thought that if he didn't go to Kyoto, he would not have any intersection with the Kyoto forces, but he didn't expect that the Bai family would make him appear in the Inspection Institute's sight in advance.

In this case, we must speed up the improvement of our strength.

There was still a month left before the agreed action against the Bai family was launched with the Inspection Institute. During this period, Chen Qiye practiced martial arts more diligently than before. He even cancelled his nightly sex activities. Apart from eating, defecating and sleeping, he practiced martial arts every day to gain skills and experience, and he did it in a multi-pronged way.

He practiced Xingyun Gong and archery simultaneously. When practicing, he asked Qin Feier to sit next to him and play the piano, and he would drink when he was thirsty.

Just like this... day after day, twenty-nine days passed...
Chen Mansion Backyard···
The backyard that was converted into a training center underwent some adjustments today.

The straw target that Chen Qiye used to practice archery was replaced with a solid wooden rake, and there was even a target made of cast iron.

In the middle of the yard, Chen Qiye was holding a bow and arrow, with his eyes closed and concentrating.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, raised his bow and shot out. With a "whoosh" sound, the sharp arrow shot out and pierced through the solid wooden rake in the blink of an eye. The momentum continued to shoot into the wooden pillar supporting the house from the back, and the entire arrow body penetrated the wooden pillar until the arrow head appeared from behind the wooden pillar and stopped.

A string of information appeared in Chen Qiye's mind.

【Name: Chen Qiye. 】

【Talent: God rewards hard work. 】

【Strength: Rank 7.】

[Main skill: Archery lv5 (200/5000)]

[Skill: Cloud Walking Skill lv4 (300/3000)]

[Skill: Drinking lv3 (50/1500)]

[Skill: Listening to Music lv3 (10/1500)]

[Skill: Riding lv1 (10/100)]

With the internal energy and mental skills, his experience improved much faster, and his strength also increased from the fifth level a month ago to the seventh level. Moreover, Chen Qiye felt that his seventh level was definitely stronger than the ordinary seventh level, and even the eighth level might not be his opponent.

Each skill can bring him enhancement, such as listening to music.

At present, he can completely hear people's breathing frequency through the wall, and his perception ability has been greatly improved. It can be said that now, as long as he shoots an arrow, basically no one below the ninth rank can stop him.

Of course, this is just his guess based on his own physical changes. As to whether it is really that cool, he has to test it in actual combat to know for sure.

Fortunately, there is an opportunity right now.

The cleanup operation against the Bai family should be starting soon. The Inspection Office should have handled everything during this time. When the time comes, he only needs to follow and be the one holding the knife.

Get rid of the Bai family and let the Chen family completely replace the Bai family as the strongest family power in Lezhou.

The Inspection Institute came to him for cooperation, and for now he had no choice but to accept it. Only when he becomes a grandmaster in the future will he be qualified to do whatever he wants.
