Chapter 99: Re-entering Qingyuan

September 9th, night, the day before Zhang Mingze was released without charge.

Qingyuan Boxing Village.

Liu Saner came to the residential area of the inner village.

Since the incident of the Green-Faced Ghost assassinating Zhang Mingze happened, he had been temporarily arranged by the Great Dragon Head to live in the residential area, so as not to be found by the Tiger Blade Gang after leaving the Boxing Village.

Not long after, the fake Green-Faced Ghost was captured. Liu Saner felt it should be safe, so he returned to his home.

Unexpectedly, before he could settle down for long, the 'Market Entrance' incident broke out, and the Green-Faced Ghost killed seven officials overnight!

Although he didn't understand the various inside stories, out of some intuition, Liu Saner felt that the one who appeared later was the real Green-Faced Ghost, and the other party had not been captured.

So he considered whether to return to the Boxing Village to live, but felt that the Tiger Blade Gang shouldn't be targeting such a small person as him.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly received a phone call...

After hanging up the phone, Liu Saner hesitated again and again, and finally ran back to the Qingyuan Boxing Village at the fastest speed, then came to the residential area of the inner village, walked all the way in, and was stopped outside a large courtyard.

The large courtyard inside was where the Great Dragon Head lived. Unless the Great Dragon Head summoned him personally, a boxing agent like Liu Saner was not qualified to enter.

"Brother, please help me report it. I have an urgent matter to seek an audience with the Great Dragon Head."

Liu Saner said to the guard at the gate with a smile.

The guard sneered: "Who are you? Is the Great Dragon Head someone you can see just because you want to?"

"It's a matter related to the Green-Faced Ghost, really a very urgent matter!"

Liu Saner leaned forward and whispered.

"Green-Faced Ghost?"

The guard was startled and looked at Liu Saner, "You wait, I'll go in and report."

A few minutes later, the guard ran out again and said to Liu Saner:

"Go, the Great Dragon Head wants to see you."

"Thank you!"

Liu Saner was overjoyed and followed the other party into the courtyard for the second time.

Afterward, he walked into the main hall where weapon racks were placed on both sides again and saw the Great Dragon Head sitting on the Taishi chair.

The other party was still in green clothes, with a long ponytail, her temperament cold and clear, her gaze like a sword.

"Subordinate has seen the Great Dragon Head."

After the guard retreated, Liu Saner bowed to the other party.

"You said you had an urgent matter to find me, related to the Green-Faced Ghost. Did the Green-Faced Ghost contact you again?"

The green-clothed woman asked directly.

"The Great Dragon Head is wise and divine, indeed so."

Liu Saner said with his head lowered.

"What did he want with you?"

"He said he wanted to have a chat with the Great Dragon Head, concerning the survival of the Qingyuan Boxing Village."

Liu Saner looked up at the green-clothed woman and said cautiously.

"Heh."

The green-clothed woman sneered, "He's quite good at alarmism. How does he want to chat with me?"

Liu Saner saw that the Great Dragon Head was not angry, and felt relieved, busy saying:

"He left a phone number for me."

The green-clothed woman looked at Liu Saner, who was bowing and lowering his head, and asked with interest:

"Why are you willing to pass a message for him?"

Liu Saner's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "It concerns the Boxing Village, and the subordinate thought that even if one percent of what the other party said was true, I should let the Great Dragon Head know!"

"Is it just that?"

The green-clothed woman asked with deep meaning.

Liu Saner looked up subconsciously and happened to meet the other party's eyes.

He only felt that the Great Dragon Head's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through himself, pointing directly at the human heart!

Liu Saner's brain was blank, and he said subconsciously:

"I... I admire the things he did very much, and want to help him as much as possible."

After the words were spoken, Liu Saner felt like falling into an ice cellar, instantly chilled from head to toe, and felt that he was dead.

But what surprised him was that the Great Dragon Head was not angry, and the look in her eyes toward him became softer:

"Give me the phone number."

"Yes."

Liu Saner handed the note with the numbers written on it to her with both hands, and then he consciously withdrew.

After Liu Saner left, the green-clothed woman walked to the wooden table in the corner where the rotary phone was placed, picked up the receiver, dialed the rotary, and dialed the number on the note in her hand.

A few seconds later, the phone was connected.

"Green-Faced Ghost?"

The green-clothed woman spoke first.

"..."

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

The green-clothed woman's tone turned cold: "If you don't speak again, I'll hang up."

"I am the Green-Faced Ghost. Are you the Great Dragon Head of the Qingyuan Boxing Village?"

A low voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Liu Saner said you wanted to chat with me about the survival of the Qingyuan Boxing Village. You don't even dare to meet, chatting with me about this over the phone—don't you think it's ridiculous?"

The green-clothed woman asked coldly.

"No way, I offended a bit too many people, it's not very convenient to show my face."

"I'll only give you ten seconds. If the matter you want to chat about doesn't interest me, we don't need to chat."

"..."

However, the person on the other end of the phone was silent again.

"You have seven seconds left."

The green-clothed woman frowned, about to lose patience.

"Hao Yi."

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly said a name.

The green-clothed woman was startled upon hearing this, subconsciously tightening her grip on the receiver, but her tone still had no change:

"Who?"

"Is he your senior brother?"

"..."

This time the green-clothed woman finally couldn't remain calm, and there was a trace of killing intent in her tone:

"Who exactly are you?!"

"I think we can meet and chat."

"Ha?"

The green-clothed woman laughed, then her eyes turned cold, "Alright, where do you want to meet?"

"Just at the Qingyuan Boxing Village. I'll come to see you."

This answer was completely unexpected to the green-clothed woman, and she sneered:

"It's getting more and more interesting. Alright, I'll wait for you at the Boxing Village."

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

"Someone come."

She called a subordinate, "Order down, if the Green-Faced Ghost enters the Boxing Village later, bring him directly here to see me."

"The Green-Faced Ghost is coming to the Boxing Village?"

"Don't ask too much, just do it."

"Yes!"

Afterward, the green-clothed woman sat back on the Taishi chair and waited quietly.

Now the second big search operation had officially begun, and there were search personnel everywhere in the Qingyuan District. There were even more eyes watching outside the Qingyuan Boxing Village. She was very curious about how the Green-Faced Ghost would enter the Boxing Village silently to see her?

"Stop! Do you have a national ID?"

Li Fei was stopped by a few Duchayuan officers.

"Yes."

Li Fei took out his national ID from his bosom without haste and handed it over.

The national ID issued by the Great Lan Dynasty had several pages, with more than a dozen types of personal information such as native place, registered residence, national ID number, issuance time, education level, occupation, residence, etc.

And in order to make the 'person and certificate consistent,' there was a column on the national ID specifically for filling in physical characteristics, such as a square face, where there was a mole on the face, double eyelids or single eyelids, etc.

The last and most critical personal information was 'fingerprint entry.'

On the national ID, fingerprints would be distinguished by two categories: 'basket' patterns and 'bucket' patterns. When filling out the certificate, the ten fingers of the holder would be checked one by one, and the information would be filled into the corresponding column.

'Bucket' patterns were filled with '〇', and 'basket' patterns were filled with 'ム'. The characteristics of all ten fingers were recorded to prevent forgery. (Note 1) 【100】 "You live in the Duchayuan family compound. Are you a descendant of the Duchayuan?" 【101】 The Duchayuan officer who checked Li Fei's national ID asked in surprise after seeing the information in the address column. 【102】 Li Fei nodded: "Yes." 【103】 "Who is your father?" 【104】 "Must I say?" 【105】 "Hahaha, no need. You ran out to play secretly, right?" 【106】 "Hehe." 【107】 Li Fei touched his head embarrassedly. 【108】 The few Duchayuan officers responsible for the inspection all had smiles on their faces, and the look in their eyes toward Li Fei became much more intimate. 【109】 Li Fei's upright appearance at a glance was a good child, and he was also a descendant of the Duchayuan, so they didn't ask too many questions and let him pass, also urging Li Fei to pay attention to safety. 【110】 Next, Li Fei encountered two more inspections on his way to the Qingyuan Boxing Village, all of which he passed safely. 【111】 After all, the Green-Faced Ghost was a murderous and ferocious expert with Martial Master combat power. How could he be related to this descendant of the Duchayuan who was under 18 years old and had an upright face? 【112】 It was very difficult for the Green-Faced Ghost to enter the Qingyuan Boxing Village without attracting attention, but Li Fei was different. 【113】 What does the person the Green-Faced Ghost killed have to do with me, Li Fei? 【114】 So Li Fei entered the Qingyuan Boxing Village smoothly and openly like this. 【115】 Although there was a big inspection outside, the Boxing Village was still bustling and very lively. 【116】 Li Fei found a dark corner where no one noticed, put on a hood, turned his clothes inside out, put on a black robe outside, and completed the costume change. 【117】 Carrying the Green-Faced Ghost's mask with him was too easy to expose, so he only brought these things when he went out this time, and even if he was checked, he would have an excuse. 【118】 Li Fei, whose whole body was shrouded in a black robe, walked out of the dark corner and walked all the way to the residential area of the inner village. 【119】 Soon he was stopped by the guards patrolling the Boxing Village. 【120】 "I am the Green-Faced Ghost, here to see your Great Dragon Head." 【121】 Li Fei said in a low voice. 【122】 A few guards were startled. The leading Martial Master of the Body-Breaking realm looked at Li Fei cautiously: 【123】 "Follow me." 【124】 Afterward, Li Fei was led all the way into the courtyard in the residential area. 【125】 "The Great Dragon Head is waiting for you inside." 【126】 The leading Martial Master said, then turned and left. 【127】 The Great Dragon Head said she would see this person alone, so no one followed in. 【128】 As for the Great Dragon Head's safety, no one in the Boxing Village would worry about this. 【129】 Li Fei walked into the main hall and saw the green-clothed woman sitting on the Taishi chair. 【130】 As both sides looked at each other, Li Fei felt as if a sword was stabbing toward his face, and the steel armor implant in his body became restless, almost subconsciously launching 'Tyrant Body'! 【131】 Li Fei was secretly startled and immediately controlled the restless implant in his body. 【132】 "Daring to come to this Boxing Village alone to see me, you have guts." 【133】 The green-clothed woman said coldly. 【134】 "If I don't come personally, how can I show my sincerity?" 【135】 Li Fei said neither humble nor arrogant. 【136】 "Since that's the case, why did you let Liu Saner pass the message first? Are you testing me?" 【137】 The green-clothed woman looked directly into Li Fei's eyes, as if she could see through the human heart. 【138】 Li Fei was startled in his heart, unwilling to be led by the other party, and said: 【139】 "The Great Dragon Head may have extraordinary strength, but I don't know if you have the confidence to contend with the joint efforts of the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang?" 【140】 Li Fei asked. 【141】 The green-clothed woman was startled and asked calmly: "You came to find me to tell me that the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang are going to join forces to deal with the Qingyuan Boxing Village?" 【142】 Li Fei nodded and said sincerely: 【143】 "It's not that I'm alarmist. Please think carefully, Great Dragon Head. Looking at the entire Xingcheng, I don't belong to the Chief's faction, nor do I belong to the Tiger Blade Gang's faction, yet I dare to strike at both sides at the same time. Then which force am I most likely to belong to? My appearance has disrupted the situation in the entire Xingcheng. Who is most likely to benefit in the end? Who is the person Gu Zhenhui and Yu Hu are most likely to suspect?" 【144】 "Why can't it be suspected that the Chen family sent someone to do it?" 【145】 The green-clothed woman asked. 【146】 To talk about the forces on the surface of Xingcheng, the local first family, the Chen family, was the third largest force after the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang. 【147】 Li Fei said without hesitation: "The Chen family is of course also a target of suspicion, but the degree of suspicion of the Qingyuan Boxing Village is definitely far above the Chen family. After all, I appeared in the Qingyuan Boxing Village from the beginning, and it was also here that I assassinated Zhang Mingze." 【148】 Actually, this was Li Fei's plan from the beginning. He deliberately disrupted the situation just to pull the Qingyuan Boxing Village into the game, thereby seeking an ally he could cooperate with. 【149】 Only in this way could he enter the game as a 'chess player.' 【150】 But after making that phone call and hearing the Great Dragon Head's voice, his thoughts changed... 【151】 The green-clothed woman was amused and looked at Li Fei coldly: 【152】 "Are you trying to say that you did those things just to frame my Qingyuan Boxing Village and arouse the suspicion of the other two sides?" 【153】 Li Fei shook his head and looked at the other party: 【154】 "I did those things more out of my own heart, to follow my own heart, for my own satisfaction." 【155】 "Follow your heart, for your own satisfaction?" 【156】 The green-clothed woman looked into Li Fei's eyes, and after looking at each other for a while, her tone softened slightly: 【157】 "Then why did you specifically come to remind me to be careful of the joint efforts of the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang?" 【158】 Li Fei: "I want to tell the Great Dragon Head that the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang will definitely join forces to deal with the Qingyuan Boxing Village, please prepare early!" 【159】 "Oh?" 【160】 The green-clothed woman narrowed her eyes, "What makes you so sure?" 【161】 "Because this is a very good opportunity for both sides. It is rare for both sides to join forces with consistent goals, and it just so happens that there is a reasonable target of suspicion. Then regardless of whether I am from the Boxing Village or not, they can directly count me as a person from the Boxing Village, and then use this to deal with the Boxing Village!" 【162】 Li Fei said: 【163】 "This second city-wide search will inevitably search the Qingyuan Boxing Village. At that time, they only need to find someone else to impersonate me, and the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang will have a reason to deal with the Boxing Village. At that time, Great Dragon Head, do you have the confidence to resist the joint efforts of both sides?" 【164】 The green-clothed woman fell into deep thought. 【165】 She had to admit that what Li Fei said made a lot of sense. If she were Gu Zhenhui or Yu Hu, she might also be unable to resist wanting to seize such an opportunity. 【166】 And there was another important reason: compared to dealing with the Chen family, which had deep roots in the local area and involved all aspects, dealing with the Qingyuan Boxing Village, which only had experts sitting in town, was easier and easier to clean up afterward. 【167】 "So you came to find me, wanting to join forces with me?" 【168】 The green-clothed woman saw through Li Fei's intentions. 【169】 She seemed to have an ability that could point directly to the human heart, always able to see through other people's plans and thoughts at a glance. 【170】 Li Fei nodded: "That's right, although this is not my original intention, this situation was indeed caused by me, so I am willing to join forces with the Great Dragon Head to solve this crisis together." 【171】 The green-clothed woman looked at him: "You are meticulous and logical, a rare smart person. Then have you ever thought about another possibility?" 【172】 Li Fei: "What possibility?" 【173】 "I will capture you now and hand you over to the Chief's faction or the Tiger Blade Gang, and the crisis of the Boxing Village will naturally be solved, and I can even exchange for some benefits." 【174】 The green-clothed woman said in a leisurely tone. 【175】 As soon as the words fell, she jumped up from the Taishi chair and pounced on Li Fei, with the momentum of thunder! 【176】 Note 1: The basket pattern has an opening on the outside, like a mountain and flowing water. 【177】 The bucket pattern is the opposite of the basket pattern, roughly a circular fingerprint, usually composed of N concentric circles. 【178】 In short, the outer circle of the fingerprint is closed, generally classified as a bucket pattern. 【179】 Interested friends can check it out themselves. Besides being used to identify identity, this thing can also be used to see doctors, fortune-telling, measuring marriage, etc. There are many ways to do it, and this book will also involve some later. 【180】 (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 100 =====

"Your home is in the Inspectorate's family compound; are you a descendant of the Inspectorate?"

The inspector checking Li Fei's national ID asked in surprise after seeing the information in the address column.

Li Fei nodded: "Yes."

"Who is your father?"

"Do I have to say?"

"Haha, no need. You snuck out to play, right?"

"Hehe."

Li Fei touched his head in embarrassment.

Smiles appeared on the faces of the several inspectors responsible for the spot check, and the way they looked at Li Fei became much more friendly.

Li Fei's righteous appearance made him look like a good kid at first glance, and since he was also a descendant of the Inspectorate, they let him pass without further questioning and even urged Li Fei to pay attention to safety.

Next, Li Fei encountered two more spot checks on his way to the Qingyuan Fist Village, and he passed them safely both times.

After all, the Green-Faced Ghost was a bloodthirsty and cruel expert with the combat power of a Martial Master; how could he be associated with this righteous-looking Inspectorate descendant under 18 years old?

It was indeed difficult for the Green-Faced Ghost to enter the Qingyuan Fist Village without attracting attention, but Li Fei was different.

What does the Green-Faced Ghost killing people have to do with me, Li Fei?

And so, Li Fei entered the Qingyuan Fist Village openly and successfully.

Although there was a major inspection outside, the Fist Village was still bustling with noise and excitement.

Li Fei found a dark corner where no one was paying attention, put on a hood, wore his clothes inside out, and put on a black robe over them; that completed his disguise.

Carrying the Green-Faced Ghost's mask on his person was too easy to expose, so he only brought these things when he went out this time, and even if he were checked, he would have an excuse.

Li Fei, completely shrouded in a black robe, walked out of the dark corner and headed all the way to the residential area of the inner village.

Soon, he was stopped by guards patrolling the Fist Village.

"I am the Green-Faced Ghost, here to see your Great Dragon Head."

Li Fei said in a low voice.

The several guards were startled, and the leading Martial Artist in the Body-Breaking Realm looked at Li Fei cautiously:

"Follow me."

Subsequently, Li Fei was led all the way into the courtyard in the residential area.

"The Great Dragon Head is waiting for you inside."

The leading Martial Artist said, then turned and left.

The Great Dragon Head had said she would see this person alone, so no one followed inside.

As for the Great Dragon Head's safety, no Martial Artist in the Fist Village would worry about that.

Li Fei stepped into the main hall and saw the woman in green sitting on the grand armchair.

As they locked eyes, Li Fei felt as if a sword were thrusting toward his face, and the steel armor implant in his body stirred, almost causing him to subconsciously activate 'Tyrant Body'!

Li Fei was secretly alarmed and immediately controlled the restless implant in his body.

"Daring to come to this Fist Village alone to see me, you have quite some nerve."

The woman in green said coldly.

"If I don't come in person, how can I show my sincerity?"

Li Fei said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Since that's the case, why send Liu Saner to pass a message first? Are you testing me?"

The woman in green looked straight into Li Fei's eyes, as if she could see through the human heart.

Li Fei was startled in his heart; not wanting to be led by the other party's rhythm, he spoke:

"The Great Dragon Head may have extraordinary strength, but I wonder if you are confident you can counter the joint forces of the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang?"

Li Fei asked.

The woman in green was taken aback and asked calmly: "You came to find me to tell me that the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang are going to join forces to deal with the Qingyuan Fist Village?"

Li Fei nodded and said sincerely:

"I am not fear-mongering. Please think carefully, Great Dragon Head. Looking at the entire Xingcheng, I belong neither to the Chief's faction nor the Tiger Blade Gang's faction, yet I dare to strike at both sides simultaneously. Then which force am I most likely to belong to? My appearance has disrupted the situation in the entire Xingcheng; who is most likely to benefit in the end? Who are Gu Zhenhui and Yu Hu most likely to suspect?"

"Why can't it be suspected that the Chen family sent someone to do it?"

The woman in green asked.

Speaking of the forces on the surface in Xingcheng, the local top family, the Chen family, was the third-largest force, second only to the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang.

Li Fei said without hesitation: "The Chen family is of course also a target of suspicion, but the degree to which the Qingyuan Boxing Village is suspected is certainly far above the Chen family. After all, I appeared in the Qingyuan Boxing Village from the very beginning, and it was also here that I assassinated Zhang Mingze."

Actually, this was Li Fei's plan from the start; he deliberately disrupted the situation just to pull the Qingyuan Fist Village into the game, thereby finding an ally he could cooperate with.

Only in this way could he enter the game as a 'chess player'.

But after making that phone call and hearing the Great Dragon Head's voice, his thoughts changed.

The woman in green was amused to the point of anger and looked at Li Fei coldly:

"Are you trying to say that your ultimate goal in doing those things was to frame my Qingyuan Fist Village and provoke suspicion from the other two sides?"

Li Fei shook his head and looked the other party in the eye:

"I did those things more out of my own heart, to follow my own will, and for my own satisfaction."

"Follow your own will, for your own satisfaction?"

The woman in green looked into Li Fei's eyes, and after a moment of staring, her tone softened slightly:

"Then what was your purpose in coming specifically to warn me to be careful of the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang joining forces?"

Li Fei: "I wanted to tell the Great Dragon Head that the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang will definitely join forces to deal with the Qingyuan Fist Village. Please prepare early!"

"Oh?"

The woman in green narrowed her eyes, "Why are you so certain?"

"Because this is a very good opportunity for both sides. It is rare for both sides to have a consistent goal and join forces, and they just happen to have a reasonable target of suspicion. So, regardless of whether I am a member of the Qingyuan Fist Village, they can directly count me as a member of the Fist Village and use this to deal with the Fist Village!"

Li Fei said:

"This second city-wide search will inevitably search the Qingyuan Fist Village. At that time, they only need to find someone else to impersonate me, and the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang will have a reason to deal with the Fist Village. By then, Great Dragon Head, are you confident you can withstand the joint forces of both sides?"

The woman in green fell into deep thought.

She had to admit that what Li Fei said made a lot of sense. If she were Gu Zhenhui or Yu Hu, she might also be unable to resist wanting to seize such an opportunity.

And there was another important reason: compared to dealing with the Chen family, which had deep local roots and ties to all sides, dealing with the Qingyuan Fist Village, which only had experts sitting in command, was easier and easier to clean up after.

"So you came to find me because you want to join forces with me?"

The woman in green exposed Li Fei's thoughts.

She seemed to have an ability that could point directly to the human heart, always able to see through other people's intentions and thoughts at a glance.

Li Fei nodded: "That's right. Although this was not my original intention, the current situation was indeed caused by me, so I am willing to join forces with the Great Dragon Head to resolve this crisis together."

The woman in green looked at him: "You are meticulous and clear in your logic; you are a rare smart person. Have you ever thought of another possibility?"

Li Fei: "What possibility?"

"If I capture you right now and hand you over to the Chief's faction or the Tiger Blade Gang, the Fist Village's crisis will naturally be resolved, and I could even exchange you for some benefits."

The woman in green said in a leisurely tone.

As her words fell, she suddenly leaped from the grand armchair and pounced toward Li Fei, her momentum like thunder!

Note 1: The loop pattern has an opening on the outside, like high mountains and flowing water.

The whorl pattern is the opposite of the loop pattern, generally a circular fingerprint, usually composed of N concentric circles.

In short, the outer circle of the fingerprint is closed, generally classified as a whorl pattern.

Interested friends can check it out for themselves; besides being used to identify identity, this thing can also be used to diagnose illnesses, fortune-telling, measuring marriage, etc. There are quite a lot of ways to it, and this book will also involve some later.
