Chapter 1775: Excuse Me

"Why are you here again? Is something the matter?" Zhao Ping was somewhat speechless. Why did this woman always choose to come when he was eating mutton hot pot? She came to see Chen Yu so frequently; could it be that she had taken a fancy to him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but size Xingzi up a few more times. Hmm, although she was getting on in years, she still had a certain charm, though he didn't know if Chen Yu liked women at this stage of life.

"Sorry to disturb you." Xingzi bowed apologetically. "I came to find Mr. Chen to express my gratitude."

"Alright then, you two talk." Zhao Ping stood up helplessly, turned around, and left the place.

"What is it? Something up?" Chen Yu glanced at Xingzi; he more or less understood her intentions.

"Mr. Chen, I came here specifically to thank you. After my father took your medicine, the hidden ailments in his body have all healed." Xingzi smiled slightly. "Thank you very much."

"Don't mention it. Didn't you all help me smooth over the negative influence brought by the Songyi Family?" Chen Yu smiled faintly. "If it were just me, I wouldn't be able to control the public opinion; I would have only been able to stop killing with killing."

"Mr. Chen is too modest. These things were things I should have done in the first place." Xingzi smiled slightly. "I came today because there is another matter."

"If you came here wanting me to help you seize back a portion of the Songyi Family's resources, then I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible." Chen Yu shook his head.

"Mr. Chen has his own insights regarding this matter?" Xingzi was slightly stunned.

"Many things controlled by the Songyi Family are, strictly speaking, the lifeblood of the nation. Do you think the high-level officials of Fusang would easily hand this matter over to you?" Chen Yu drank a cup of wine. "If I were you, I would just stay put and wait for those above to distribute it."

"Mr. Chen, you think so too?" Xingzi couldn't help but be startled.

Her father, Beiwu Xiong, had said the exact same words, but she had not expected that some of Chen Yu's viewpoints would actually be so similar to her father's.

Her father was a man who had traversed the political world his entire life, so he could keenly sense that this incident was not simple, and he also knew how to handle it.

But Chen Yu was different; he was not a person from the political world, so the fact that he said such things made Xingzi more or less surprised.

"Of course, I do indeed think so, but your father, Beiye Xiong, probably realized this step earlier than I did, right?" Chen Yu raised his eyes to look at Xingzi.

"That's right, he said the same thing. Your viewpoints and my father's really coincide. I think if you met, you and my father would definitely have a lot to talk about." Xingzi laughed.

"Meeting your father is out of the question; I don't have the time." Chen Yu shook his head. "What is between us is just a transaction, so don't think too much into it. I still have things in Fusang that need you to handle, so you understand."

"What other matters does Mr. Chen have? Please feel free to instruct us; we will definitely do our best to resolve them." Xingzi asked.

"The place where Yagyu Heiichi belonged is called Liehun Hall. Do you know this place?" Chen Yu asked.

"Liehun Hall?" Hearing this, Xingzi's expression changed slightly.

"It seems you do know." Chen Yu understood everything the moment he saw her expression; she had heard of Liehun Hall.

"I have indeed heard some things about Liehun Hall." Xingzi sighed slightly. "But those are just ancient legends."

"What kind of legends? I would like to hear them." Chen Yu immediately became interested.

"It is said to be the final resting place for many heroic souls. Inside are the most powerful people in Fusang, and Yagyu Heiichi... is one of them." Xingzi said.

"That's right. Yagyu Heiichi is ranked fifth in that place, which means there are four others who are even stronger than him." Chen Yu nodded.

"The place where Liehun Hall is located is at the peak of the Snow Mountain. It is reinforced by a Barrier on the outside, making it very difficult for outsiders to enter. They live in seclusion to cultivate; unless it reaches a point of life and death for our nation, they will not come out."

Xingzi said, "When my grandfather was alive, I heard some things about that place, so I know a little."

"I am going there." Chen Yu stated his intention directly.

"What is Mr. Chen going there for? You wouldn't be wanting to..." Xingzi stopped there; she dared not imagine what Chen Yu was planning to do.

Chen Yu going there was likely to wipe out all those heroic-level figures in one fell swoop.

"That's right. Their existence makes me feel threatened, and since I killed Yagyu Heiichi, even if I don't look for them, they will find me and fight me to the death."

Chen Yu said indifferently, "Since that's the case, why shouldn't I strike first and resolve them beforehand?"

"This..." Xingzi didn't know what to say. She knew that since Chen Yu had said so, he must have already decided.

Things he decided were likely impossible for anyone to change.

"You also know that things I decide generally cannot be changed by anyone." Chen Yu laughed. "So even if you don't tell me, I will definitely be able to find where Liehun Hall is located."

"Mr. Chen, the people inside are very strong." Xingzi steadied herself, attempting to change Chen Yu's mind.

"Strong? Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to say the word 'strong' in front of me?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen... mentioning such things in front of you is indeed inappropriate." Xingzi apologized hurriedly.

It was undeniable that the people inside Liehun Hall were indeed strong, but mentioning their strength in front of Chen Yu—wasn't that a slap in the face to him?

"Since you don't want to say, then please go back. I will resolve this matter myself." Chen Yu said.

"Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. That is not what I meant." Xingzi said quickly. "Mr. Chen, I actually don't know the exact location of Liehun Hall."

"There is a map left behind by my grandfather in my home, which should record everything about Liehun Hall, but I need to find this map."

"I see. Then go back and look for it. At the same time, think carefully about whether you want to help me, because once you help me, your Beiwu Family will have no way back."

"I will... consider it carefully." Xingzi said with some bitterness.

She had actually known for a long time that hitching a ride with Chen Yu might not be that easy.

Sure enough, Chen Yu had given her a world-class dilemma.

Liehun Hall was a place established by the high-level officials of Fusang. If the Beiwu Family leaked information about this to Chen Yu, leading to Chen Yu slaughtering the Elders in Liehun Hall,

then once the matter was exposed, their Beiwu Family would suffer a devastating blow from the high-level officials.
