Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 148: The Noble's Son Blocks the Road
Perhaps because he expressed the depression in his heart, Leng Feibai felt much more relaxed after a while.

That night, Leng Feibai did not rest, but instead meditated and practiced his skills all night.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, a stream of Taiyin Qi burst out from Leng Feibai's body.

"Done! Seventeenth level [Disintegration]!"

Leng Feibai immediately felt relieved and stood up and jumped off the bed.

"My power has improved a lot. What a pity! Before I break through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demonic Art, I won't be able to see the effects of the art in tempering my five internal organs!"

After his thoughts died down, Leng Feibai raised his hand and drew a cleansing talisman and hit himself.

After finishing cleaning himself, Leng Feibai took out a set of new clothes and put them on, then went straight to the dining room.

After breakfast, Fan Jian worriedly warned the two, "Be careful when you enter the palace. If you see something wrong, leave immediately."

"Don't worry, godfather!"

Leng Feibai nodded and said, "According to Eunuch Hou, Your Majesty should only have suffered flesh wounds. I can still treat this injury!"

"Aunt Liu and I hit it off right away. She won't do anything to harm me!"

Looking at the two children's calm expressions, Fan Jian sighed and motioned them to leave the house.

Shortly after the carriage left the Fan Mansion, seven or eight teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old were seen riding horses and following the carriage along the street across the street.

Inside the carriage, Leng Feibai said calmly, "Someone is watching us. They're only a bunch of fourth or fifth rank guys."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian hurriedly said to Wang Qinian, who was busy driving the carriage, "Old Wang, look around. Is anyone following us?"

When Wang Qinian heard this, he pretended to stretch his neck and looked around. He saw a group of young men on horseback not far away, looking at them with unfriendly expressions.

"Sir, what Mr. Leng said is correct!"

Wang Qinian said calmly, "There is indeed a group of bad boys watching us from the shadows! Judging from their attire, they should be from noble families."

"Son of a noble family!"

Fan Xian frowned and said, "I haven't provoked them, right? Why are they staring at me?"

"there is always a solution to a problem!"

Leng Feibai had a blank expression on his face. "Let's see what they want to do. Anyway, it's just a matter of beating them up."

Fan Xian smiled slightly after hearing this. "That's right. His Majesty wants me to be a lone minister anyway. If they come with ill intentions, I'll just give them a beating to vent my anger! Old Wang, choose a quiet street to walk on, so that a fight doesn't involve the surrounding shops."

Wang Qinian smiled and said, "Sir, do you want to send a signal to Old Deng so that he can bring people over to help?"

"No rush, wait until the fight starts!"

Fan Xian also had an idea in his mind. Since Emperor Qing asked him to be a lone minister, he would offend these nobles as a way to vent his anger for yesterday's beating.

The carriage gradually arrived at the intersection. Before Wang Qinian could turn the carriage around, the group of young men had already ridden their horses in front of the carriage.

"Fan Xian, you idiot who was almost beaten to death by His Majesty. Get out here right now!"

A young man in blue rushed out from the team and said, "How dare you rob His Highness's Baoyue Tower? I will teach you a lesson today!"

"Baoyue Tower!"

Leng Feibai couldn't help but be stunned, "Why, that building is still in our hands?"

Fan Xian nodded and said, "Well, His Majesty said that the Fan family shouldn't be blamed for everything, so he gave me that building as compensation. But I don't know what to do with it, so it's been lying idle!"

"That can be changed!"

Leng Feibai thought about it and said, "What do you think about changing it into a snack shop?"

Looking at Leng Feibai's expression, Fan Xian said helplessly, "Take your time to think about it. I'll go get rid of the people on the other side first."

With that, Fan Xian leaped out of the carriage. Shortly after, the sounds of fighting could be heard from outside. With Leng Feibai's help, Fan Xian's internal injuries had healed. While he hadn't resolved the issue of his uncontrolled Tyrannical Qi, he could now unleash his might and beat up these guys.

In less than ten minutes, the battle outside was completely over.

Leng Feibai lifted the carriage curtain and frowned at the mess outside. He took out a fifty-liang silver note from his pocket and said, "Old Wang, take this silver and compensate the store owner. This Fan Xian is so reckless."

Wang Qinian saw this and said in confusion, "Mr. Leng, you don't have to pay for it yourself!"

"Let those guys pay. I guess they'll use their family power to smash the store this afternoon!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, a strange smile flashed across his face. "But I'm sure I can make them spit out the money for me."

After hearing this, Wang Qinian said nothing and took the silver note to pay the money.

Less than five minutes later, Deng Ziyue arrived with a group of people from the first team, holding a sword and saying, "Sir, I am late. Please forgive me!"

"It's not too late!"

Fan Xian introduced them directly, "Old Deng, let me introduce you. This is my brother, Leng Feibai. Brother, this is my right-hand man in the First Division. Deng Ziyue!"

When Deng Ziyue saw Leng Feibai, he quickly said, "So it's Mr. Leng. I've heard of you a long time ago. It's a great honor to meet you today."

After saying that, Deng Ziyue took out a copy of "Bao Gong An" from his pocket and said, "I wonder if I can ask Mr. Leng to write an inscription for me?"

"next time!"

Leng Feibai politely declined, "I didn't bring a pen. I'll help you write it in a couple of days!"

"Good good!"

Deng Ziyue quickly put the book away and turned to Fan Xian, "Sir, what should we do with these people?"

Fan Xian looked up at Leng Feibai, who said helplessly, "I don't understand Qing law. This incident is, at best, an attack on the inspector general, and at worst, a street brawl. I don't know how Qing law should handle it."

Wang Qinian quickly reminded him, "Street fights usually result in caning, fines, or even imprisonment for ten or eight days. But if you attack the inspector general, that's a serious crime. The worst possible outcome is execution of the entire family!"

After hearing this, Fan Xian thought for a moment and said, "Then let's just treat it like a street brawl. Old Deng, take these guys back and lock them up first."

“What a catch!”

Deng Ziyue said in panic, "Sir, these are..."

"don’t worry!"

Fan Xian comforted Deng Ziyue and said, "I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

Deng Ziyue looked helpless and directly ordered the man to be taken back.

The captured nobles immediately started shouting, with the first one even shouting loudly, "If you dare to arrest me, I will kill your entire family."

"Fan Xian, do you want to have a big game?"

Leng Feibai looked at the expressions of these noble children and thought of something. He immediately came up with a bad idea, "Catch these people and give each of them a beating with a stick. Then, each of them will be forced to write a 5,000-word self-criticism. If the self-criticism is not thorough, they will be beaten again. If it is good, each person will be fined 10 taels of silver and their family will be asked to redeem them."

Hearing Leng Feibai's disgusting method, Fan Xian couldn't help but feel a chill. But after thinking carefully, a hint of evil flashed in his eyes and he said, "Old Deng, what my brother said makes sense. Let's do it!"

"no!"

Deng Ziyue was embarrassed after hearing this, "Sir, this is a job that will offend people."

"What are you afraid of!"

Fan Xian smiled evilly and said, "Working in the Inspection Office is inherently offensive. If you can't make it work, go ask Dean Chen. If he disagrees, just pretend my brother and I didn't say anything!"

Deng Ziyue nodded after hearing this and said, "I understand!"

After saying that, Deng Ziyue immediately brought a group of playboys back to the Inspection Institute and delivered the solution provided by Leng Feibai to Chen Pingping.
