I’ve just returned from a case and happened to be meeting friends here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ji Feiyun glanced at Li Muxian, his eyes narrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m used to entering through windows—didn’t disturb you, did I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Yinmoon slowly shook his head and pointed to the wooden wall beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Ji, you’ve come for Guan Shanxue—she’s right next door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feiyun sighed softly, lowering his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This young lady always causes trouble whenever she comes to Shangyang City, and she always picks on me. If it weren’t for the Chief Hunter’s protection, I wouldn’t touch her with a ten-foot pole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Yinmoon smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t understand women’s hearts, Captain Ji. She’s deliberately targeting you—I suspect she’s taken a fancy to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feiyun chuckled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s not interested in me—she’s after someone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the wooden wall next door was suddenly sliced open by a sharp blast of ice qi, which continued straight toward the three men in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously came Guan Shanxue’s icy voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ji Feiyun, since you’re here, come over here at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feiyun snapped a warning and instantly stepped forward, thrusting both palms outward; his roaring true qi formed a gale that blocked before Cang Yinmoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice qi clashed with the gale and dissipated, but the residual shockwave sent nearby tables and chairs flying, shattering them midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guan Shanxue, you’ve gone too far.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feiyun spoke sternly, retracting his jade-like glowing palms with controlled true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, when his peripheral vision fell on Li Muxian behind him, his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian’s position was clearly different from before—he hadn’t even noticed when the man moved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Guan Shanxue, clad in snow-white robes, lightly tapped the ground and flashed across the broken wall into Ji Feiyun’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since when have your Six Shan  Gate people become the Fifth Imperial Prince’s lapdogs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shanxue’s fair, beautiful face twisted with mockery as she glared coldly at Ji Feiyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ji Feiyun quietly withdrew his glance from Li Muxian and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shanxue, what do you mean by that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shanxue snorted, her gaze shifting to the three men—Zhou Chuan and others—frozen in ice qi in the adjacent room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are they yours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feiyun nodded, glancing at the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why did you attack them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If one of them accidentally annoyed you, I can apologize on their behalf.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shanxue sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve been secretly tailing this playboy all along, trying to catch him in a scandal to blackmail the Minister of Revenue into switching allegiance from the Seventh Imperial Prince to the Fifth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard them say it myself—and they’ve already acted on it. What excuse do you have now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feiyun’s expression darkened; he scanned the surroundings and lowered his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guan Shanxue, don’t speak recklessly in a place like this—otherwise even the Chief Hunter won’t be able to save you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I’m lying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shanxue’s eyes flashed with anger; she moved to strike, but Ji Feiyun swiftly pressed his scabbard against her wrist, whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what you heard, this isn’t the place to speak—and I know you’ve always admired that fake prince, but times have changed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t want to drag the Chief Hunter into prison, I advise you to stop now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ji Feiyun slowly withdrew his scabbard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Shanxue opened her lips, then clenched her brows tightly, falling silent; her porcelain face flushed with fury and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing she was quiet, Ji Feiyun visibly relaxed. He turned to Cang Yinmoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Cang, please keep today’s matter confidential.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Yinmoon’s gaze grew solemn; he gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Ji, have you forgotten my position? As a fellow member of the Six Shan  Gate, I know exactly what to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ji Feiyun nodded slightly, then turned to look at Li Muxian; Cang Yinmoon immediately added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Ji, rest assured—this matter concerns the Fifth Imperial Prince and the Six Shan  Gate. My friend here knows the stakes; he’ll take this secret to his grave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feiyun paused, studying Li Muxian for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t seem to be from the capital. Better to follow Captain Cang’s lead—it won’t hurt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ji Feiyun turned toward the adjacent room where Zhou Chuan and the others sat, palm turning, true qi surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struck with a palm like a spring breeze melting snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice qi encasing the three vanished visibly, and soon they returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Chuan and the others exhaled in relief, stretching their stiff limbs to greet Ji Feiyun, but he raised a hand to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a constable rushed in urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Left Vice Minister Gao Changrui and his party are heading this way—they’ll be downstairs any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ji Feiyun glanced at Zhang He huddled in the corner, waved his hand, and signaled Zhou Chuan and the other constables to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then returned to the room where Li Muxian and the others sat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you like to come back with me to the Six Shan  Gate headquarters?” Ji Feiyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Guan Shanxue’s cold, silent face, he shook his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t cause trouble—otherwise even the Chief Hunter can’t protect you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ji Feiyun walked toward the window, but before leaping out, he turned back to Cang Yinmoon and said with deep implication:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While you’ve been away, Captain Fu has been missing you terribly—come back soon and see him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ji Feiyun vanished through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Li Muxian turned to Cang Yinmoon, curiously asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s Captain Fu? Your father? Or your mother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Yinmoon glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My fiancé.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muxian raised an eyebrow; Guan Shanxue’s gaze swept over Li Muxian’s handsome face, and she suddenly sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got a fiancé and still go chasing good-looking boys? Cang Yinmoon, you’re shameless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cang Yinmoon’s eyes flashed with cold killing intent; his hand shot toward his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But halfway, he stopped, coldly saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too lowly to bother with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he called to Li Muxian beside him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that instant, Guan Shanxue’s fingertip surged with ice qi—she suddenly pointed at Cang Yinmoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, to Guan Shanxue’s shock, before her finger even reached out, her own true qi was instantly sealed; her entire body froze, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… when did Cang Yinmoon become this powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1081,"2026-06-20T01:43:38.503Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","608e267dc70f43e266127c9b23f32a0eeaf25f48c4c340e7639129a481a38546","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-27","after-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-chapter-25",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-fifteen-years-of-secret-cultivation-i-star-cover.jpg"]
