Qiu Xiong said, retreating on his knees and not daring to lift his head.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Qiu Xiong was about to exit the grand hall, the Pope suddenly called out again.
"May I ask if Your Majesty the Pope has any further instructions?" Qiu Xiong asked, trembling.
The Pope looked at a man below and said, "Where are the Seventh and Ninth Envoys?"
Two men immediately stepped forward, cupping their fists together, "We are here! Please instruct us, Your Holiness!"
"You will go with Qiu Xiong and ensure you retrieve the item! No accidents are allowed!" the Pope said in an irrefutable tone.
The two men nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Yes! We guarantee the mission will be completed!"
"Furthermore, raze that police station. How dare a mere police station kill a genius protector of my Black Lotus Sect! I will let them know the consequences of offending my Black Lotus Sect! Also, find out who killed Protector Zhao and bring back his head to mourn him!" the Pope said furiously.
"Yes, Your Holiness..."
Another day passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Feng woke up early and stood by the sea, enjoying the cool sea breeze.
At this moment, he suddenly received a call from Zhou Lingyu. Da Feng Novel Network
"Hello, Mr. Ye Feng, our Zhou family has agreed to your request! We are willing to withdraw the pressure on the Xiao family and can help the Xiao family deal with the Zhao and Tang families!" Zhou Lingyu said on the other end of the phone.
Ye Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said, "Really? That's great!"
"However... however, it cannot be announced now!" Zhou Lingyu said.
Ye Feng was very confused and asked, "Why?"
"Because the Xiao family is currently weak, and our Zhou family is not yet prepared to confront the Zhao and Tang families!" Zhou Lingyu replied.
This made Ye Feng even more confused, "Then what do you mean?"
"It means that until we are ready, we cannot openly help the Xiao family. You need to give us some time to prepare!" Zhou Lingyu said.
Ye Feng pondered this carefully and felt that the Zhou family's approach was correct.
The Zhao and Tang families were now powerful together. If the Zhou family suddenly turned to help the Xiao family, they would inevitably be suppressed by the two families.
And the Xiao family was in no position to help themselves, so they couldn't openly turn against them before they were ready.
However, by withdrawing their pressure on the Xiao family and helping them in secret, they had already reduced a lot of pressure on the Xiao family.
When they were ready, they would join forces with the Xiao family to counterattack the Zhao and Tang families. This was the perfect plan.
"Okay, let's do that, but it can't take too long. I'll give you a month!" Ye Feng said.
The Xiao family had only given Ye Feng three months, and now more than a month had passed, leaving only one month.
Zhou Lingyu nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, a month is also about right!"
"Alright, then it's settled!"
Ye Feng happily hung up the phone and then shared the news with Xiao Feifei.
After hearing this, Xiao Feifei was overjoyed and thanked Ye Feng repeatedly.
Meanwhile, in the capital!
An old man was feeding something to a middle-aged man on the bed.
If Ye Feng saw what he was being fed, he would be greatly surprised, because he was being fed the very thing he had raised.
"Son, how are you feeling?" the old man asked.
The man on the bed said, "Much better! The effect of this fish is truly miraculous. Every time I eat it, my numb limbs become incredibly itchy, as if they are slowly recovering!"
The old man was overjoyed upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Haha! That's good, that's good! Next time I'll get more from that kid, and perhaps with time, you'll recover!"
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, yes, thank you, Father. You've worked so hard for me for over ten years! To have you serve me!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man felt immense guilt, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Alas, silly child, what are you saying? As long as you are well, your father is content!" the old man said.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it!" the old man asked.
A middle-aged voice from outside replied, "Master, it's me!"
"Oh, it's Steward Zheng! Come in!" the old man said calmly.
Soon, Steward Zheng entered with a document and said, "Master, the analysis report is out!"
"Oh? How is it? Why is this fish so effective?" the old man asked.
Steward Zheng opened it and explained, "Whether it's his fish, crabs, or lobsters, they are not much different from ordinary lobsters!"
The old man frowned, "Then why do his seafood have such good taste and medicinal effects?"
"This is what I am about to explain!" Steward Zheng said.
The old man quickly said, "Oh? Tell me quickly!"
"All his seafood contain a kind of energy. This energy is very magical, somewhat similar to spiritual energy, but far more advanced than spiritual energy!" Steward Zheng said.
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but show surprise and asked, "What? More advanced than spiritual energy?"
"That's right. Because those seafood contain this energy, their taste and texture have taken a qualitative leap, and their medicinal effects have also increased several times to more than ten times..." Steward Zheng explained the report in detail.
"Such magical energy, where did this kid get it from?" After listening, the old man was astonished.
Steward Zheng also showed a look of confusion and said, "That I don't know!"
At this moment, the old man suddenly thought of something and turned to the middle-aged man on the bed, saying, "Alas, son, if there were enough of this energy, do you think you could fully recover?"
The middle-aged man replied, "I don't know about that, but recently, after consuming this seafood, my limbs have started to feel something. If there is enough of this energy, it is very possible!"
The old man immediately slapped his thigh, "Good! Your condition has stabilized anyway. Let's go find that kid another day! You should meet each other!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes instantly reddened, and he said, "Yes, I haven't seen them for over ten years. I've failed them and their mother..."
The old man comforted him, "Son, don't be sad, their mother and child are doing very well!"
After comforting the middle-aged man, the old man turned to Steward Zheng and said, "Steward Zheng, I haven't inquired about that kid's situation for a long time. What has he been busy with recently?"
Steward Zheng replied, "Reporting to Master, the young master has been doing well recently. His company is becoming more and more popular, he has handed over over ten billion worth of antiques and cultural relics to the state, and he even helped the Dongchuan City police solve a smuggling case a few days ago..."
All the events that had happened to Ye Feng in the past year were listed by Steward Zheng, one by one, without omission.
Ye Feng did not know that Steward Zheng knew his every move. If he had known, it was hard to imagine what his expression would have been like...
