Chapter 190: Infighting

As the City Head of Jinling, Ke Zhenyun is the highest-ranking official in all of Jinling; it is not strange that he knows Lin Feng's identity.

Lin Feng did not feel surprised either, and said indifferently, "That's right, I am the Fifth War King of the Dragon Soul."

Having received confirmation from the mouths of Ke Zhenyun and Lin Feng, Bai Yuhui was shocked beyond control, and a stormy sea surged in her heart.

Meanwhile, Bai Qubing had already opened his mouth in such astonishment that a salted duck egg could have been stuffed inside.

"No wonder you were able to cure my father's strange illness; it turns out you are so formidable," Ke Moyu said with a sigh.

The expression on Ke Feihong's face, however, was very complex, and the look he cast toward Lin Feng was dark and unclear.

Lin Feng suddenly shook his head and said, "You got one thing wrong."

"Where did I get it wrong?" Ke Moyu asked, completely bewildered.

Lin Feng said earnestly, "Your father is not suffering from a strange illness; he has been poisoned."

"What did you say? Poisoned!"

Ke Moyu was shocked and pale, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face.

Ke Zhenyun was also given a great fright and asked in a panic, "Mr. Lin, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"How could I possibly be mistaken about such a typical chronic toxin as Yellow Leaf Hemp Toxin?"

Lin Feng chuckled, then continued, "City Head Ke, Yellow Leaf Hemp Toxin is a toxin extracted from a poisonous plant called Autumn Water Yellow Leaf. This toxin is not very strong, and it takes a very long time for it to poison someone to death. But Yellow Leaf Hemp Toxin is extremely covert; with the current level of medicine, it is almost impossible to detect."

"And the fact that your entire body's meridians are blocked and your Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly is exactly one of the major symptoms of Yellow Leaf Hemp Toxin. Therefore, I am certain beyond doubt that the toxin in your body is Yellow Leaf Hemp Toxin!"

Ke Zhenyun's two hands trembled slightly, and a thick look of rage appeared on his face.

"Who is so bold as to dare to poison me!" Ke Zhenyun said angrily.

Ke Moyu then said, "My father rarely eats out; he usually eats at home, so logically speaking, he shouldn't have been poisoned..."

"Does that even need to be said? It must be someone in your house who poisoned your father," Lin Feng said, and looked toward Ke Feihong, who was standing beside Ke Moyu.

Seeing Lin Feng look at him, Ke Feihong's complexion changed slightly at once.

"What are you looking at me for? What is the meaning of that look?" Ke Feihong asked angrily.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Ke Shao, I already felt it was strange just now. I came here to treat your father, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it, and it has a hundred benefits for your father with no drawbacks. Why was your attitude toward me so hostile, to the point that you were practically dying to drive me away from here?"

"Now that I have discovered there is Yellow Leaf Hemp Toxin in your father's body, I feel your strange behavior seems to be explained."

"You just didn't want your father to recover; you wanted him to die, which is why you wanted to drive me away from here!"

Once Lin Feng said this, both Bai Yuhui and Bai Qubing showed expressions of disbelief, staring blankly at Ke Feihong, unable to process it.

Ke Feihong was furious and roared, "Lin Feng, you are making baseless accusations!"

Ke Moyu also said, "That's right, Mr. Lin. My brother did indeed have a poor attitude toward you just now, but to conclude that the person who poisoned him is my brother based on that alone is simply too outrageous."

Lin Feng said very calmly, "Then, Ke Shao, please explain: why are you a Martial Artist? As far as I know, you should just be an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Ke Moyu and Ke Zhenyun were shocked once again.

"Mr. Lin, are you not joking? My son is a Martial Artist? This... how is this possible... he clearly has no talent for cultivation!" Ke Zhenyun said in astonishment.

Ke Moyu shook her head repeatedly: "There must be some mistake somewhere..."

However, Lin Feng did not waste any more breath with them; he lunged directly toward Ke Feihong and threw a punch at Ke Feihong's chest!

For this punch, Lin Feng did not unleash any Martial Skill, let alone use his full strength.

He did not even exert one ten-thousandth of his power.

But if Ke Feihong were an ordinary person, he would have absolutely no way to block this punch from Lin Feng and would definitely die on the spot!

"Stop!"

"Mr. Lin, don't be impulsive!"

Ke Zhenyun and Ke Moyu shouted together, while Bai Qubing and Bai Yuhui were frightened pale.

Yet Lin Feng did not waver in the slightest; his fist, imbued with True Qi, had already reached in front of Ke Feihong.

At this critical moment of life and death, Ke Feihong could no longer hide it; he raised his arms to overlap in front of his chest and released True Qi to resist Lin Feng's strike.

Bang!

The sound of the impact rang out, and the fluctuation of True Qi kicked up a wave of air that spread to the surroundings.

Ke Moyu, Ke Zhenyun, and also Bai Yuhui and Bai Qubing were all blown by this wild wind to the point that they could barely open their eyes, while Ke Feihong staggered back several steps.

"You took my punch and didn't die, yet you still dare to say you aren't a Martial Artist! Ke Feihong, you have already been exposed; I advise you to just honestly admit it!" Lin Feng said heavily.

At this point, no matter how much Ke Moyu and Ke Zhenyun did not want to accept it, they had to accept the fact before their eyes!

Ke Feihong was indeed a Martial Artist; Lin Feng was not shooting at shadows!

"How did you discover it?" Ke Feihong asked, looking at Lin Feng with a gloomy face.

Lin Feng said very casually, "You wanted to hide it in front of me? These eyes of mine can see through the flow and fluctuations of a Martial Artist's True Qi and the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. Even Martial Artists stronger than me cannot pull the wool over my eyes, let alone a small fry like you!"

Since he had already been discovered by Lin Feng, Ke Feihong stopped acting.

He let out a wild laugh, laughing so hideously and so crazily.

"Lin Feng, you are indeed formidable; I admit I underestimated you!" Ke Feihong said, laughing loudly.

Ke Moyu said with a trembling voice, "Brother, are you really a Martial Artist? Was it really you who poisoned Father? You... why would you do this?"

"You actually have the nerve to ask me why I did this?"

Ke Feihong looked coldly at Ke Moyu and said indignantly, "Moyu, clearly I am the eldest son, and you are just a woman, yet you are more highly regarded by Father. No matter what happens, he hands it over to you to handle; it is obvious he is grooming you as his successor!"

"You tell me, is this fair? Is this reasonable? Since you and Father are heartless toward me, then I will be unrighteous toward you. This is what you chose yourselves; don't blame me!"

Ke Moyu's eyes were red, and tears were about to fall.

Ke Zhenyun, meanwhile, revealed a look of deep disappointment.

"Feihong, you have misunderstood me," Ke Zhenyun sighed.

"I misunderstood you? What a joke, I have seen everything you've done with my own eyes, and now you actually want to deny it?" Ke Feihong clenched his fists and rebuked him angrily.

Ke Zhenyun said earnestly, "I have never once thought of letting Moyu be my successor. After all, she is just a woman, and the reason I handed big and small matters to her to handle was simply because I needed someone to help me share the workload. At most, she was just my mouthpiece; the one who made the decisions was still me."
