Chapter 90: Chapter 78 Reminder【Extra 9 for Silver Alliance Master Chirp Snow】 Chapter 90: Chapter 78 Reminder【Extra 9 for Silver Alliance Master Chirp Snow】 Feng Yin was suddenly startled upon hearing this, he never expected that Wu Tiejun would make such an astonishing claim at this moment, almost scaring him to death.

But why would Captain Wu guess that it was him?!

Wu Tiejun climbed the tree, stopped between the branches, maintaining a distance of approximately five meters from Feng Yin. He no longer approached, but leaned against the tree, whispered, “I thoroughly investigated and confirmed that one of Miao Sensen’s targets this time is indeed you, Mister Feng.”

“Looking at the whole of Yuezhou, or even the whole of the Tiannan District, you are the only one who has the qualifications to mobilize such manpower at such high cost. There isn’t anyone else worthy of such consideration.”

“Thinking back to what Miao Sensen told me, it seemed calm and undisturbed, but it was actually a plan of deception, he didn’t catch you, sir, nor did he kill you; Miao Sensen simply couldn’t bring himself to kill a talent like Mister Feng.”

“Hence when Miao Sensen claimed that he had killed you, I simply didn’t believe him.”

A sly smile appeared on the rugged face of Wu Tiejun: “Why not come back and use this news to boost morale, get rid of all the demons of Great Yan in Yuezhou.”

“And for your whereabouts, I’ve been investigating in secret. Even though you plan carefully before you act, and escape using the fire, given your cultivation level and ability, the only new area you could reach in such short time is Yuezhou City. The fact that Miao Sensen mobilizes his forces into Yuezhou City, even at the risk of exposing ‘Qian Wanjing’, further validates my judgement that you are in Yuezhou.”

“Upon receiving the message from you this evening, I immediately cancelled the operation. Not because of fear of Qian Wanjing, nor concern of falling into an ambush or trap; the plan had already been well prepared for any unforeseen circumstances, but the reconnection with you and knowing that your heart is still set on Great Qin is more important than anything else.”

“Neither Qian Wanjing nor Miao Sensen could even hold a candle to you. They’re insignificant.”

Wu Tiejun chuckled without a sound.

Regardless of whether Feng Yin admitted it or not, he just kept talking.

It seemed that he had already settled in his heart – this person could be no one else than Physician Feng.

Wu Tiejun had already said so much that it made Feng Yin feel somewhat embarrassed. He had already figured it all out and was quite upfront, even to the point of interrupting his pre-established operation. If Feng Yin continued to keep his identity mysterious, wouldn’t that be somewhat underhanded?

He slid over to Wu Tiejun, still wearing his black face mask, and chuckled, “Captain Wu indeed has a meticulous mind. Your rugged exterior is actually a disguise. It’s impressive. I truly admire you.”

This part was completely unexpected to Feng Yin, nowhere in his calculations.

Wu Tiejun could think so far and deeply, he could almost be described as cunning.

If He Bibiquu could think so much and react so well, Feng Yin would not be surprised.

But Wu Tjin making such a conjecture, and putting it into practice, truly surprised Feng Yin, making him feel like he underestimated him.

He underestimated this hero, Captain Wu. He was wrong about many things about him.

“Sir, please call me Captain Wu.”

Wu Tiejun said earnestly: “The rank of Captain is higher than what I currently am; you cannot call me randomly.”

Feng Yin slapped his forehead: “Alright, Captain Wu.”

Well, he was still that obstinate person at heart. That part should be true.

“Sir has overestimated me. I dare not accept an ‘admire’ from you.”

Wu Tiejun sighed, “When facing an enemy, if we aren’t flexible in our thinking, how can we overcome and conquer them? If we can’t react quickly to things that come up, how can we act based on the situation at hand? Generally, only when facing our colleagues can we let down our guard, stick with our obstinate personality. I’m not incapable, nor mindless, and certainly not shrewd, but when dealing with my own people… there’s no need to think more.”

He took a deep sigh, “People like me, we belong on the front lines, in fights, in battle formations, on battlefields. As soon as we find ourselves dealing with logistics, administrative work, or power struggles, it’s nothing but annoyance and frustration. How can we work with our hearts?”

Feng Yin silently nodded in agreement. He had to admit it.

Wu Tiejun might be able to do a lot of things, able to complete all tasks given to him, but when it comes to managing relationships with colleagues and superiors, that really isn’t his strong suit. He could be annoyed to death. On the other hand, when he interacted with his subordinates, their mutual understanding was self-evident.

Such a person is not unintelligent, nor lacking in emotional intelligence.

But he would always play his good hand poorly, always obstructing his own path to success.

Even with Feng Yin’s experiences from two lifetimes, he still couldn’t figure out how to describe someone like this.

But Feng Yin knew better than anyone, both in this world and in his previous one, that such people were not uncommon.

When facing their subordinates, they could treat them as equals. When dealing with the poor and beggars, they could still treat them as equals. They could sympathize with anyone who deserved sympathy and do any kind of work assigned to them.

But such people all had one common, extremely fatal flaw, that was: they simply couldn’t bend down in front of their superiors or leaders!

They couldn’t help but resist in the face of wrongdoing, or someone or something breaking the rules.

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

In their hearts, it’s especially clear.

Their world doesn’t allow for a grain of sand.

When others are fawning over someone, this kind of person never would; when others are inviting guests, this kind of person wouldn’t invite; when others are giving gifts, this kind of person would never give!

If a subordinate does something wrong, I say it directly, nothing wrong with that; but when a superior does something wrong and I say it directly, that’s quite outrageous.

This kind of person… In literary words, they are proud but not condescending, they stand up to the powerful but do not oppress the weak!

But this type of person, undoubtedly, is the kind of person who struggles the most in any world.

“Grand Master He and I, we both know that you’re not really dead, but even when we talk about it, we never say it outright.”

“Because your current situation is really quite dangerous, in order to minimize the risk to you as much as possible, even we only conduct investigations in secret, to ensure that even if we can’t find you, it doesn’t matter. As long as you are safe, that’s all that matters.”

“After all, Yuezhou is our home turf. If we can’t find you, Miao Sensen definitely won’t be able to find you.”

Wu Tiejun showed a relieved smile.

“But now that you have revealed yourself, I am very happy, and you’ve also shown goodwill to us, for which, I am truly moved.”

Wu Tiejun breathed out, as if he had let go of a major concern.

Feng Yin’s eyes behind his mask were filled with warmth, he said softly, “Thank you all for your concern. I’ve already devoted my life to medicine; if I were to devote myself to officialdom, my efforts would be diluted, contrary to my original intentions, I don’t have any interest in it.”

Wu Tiejun perked up, chuckling softly, “Your thoughts, Mister, are no different from mine; with your capabilities, you should be honored wherever you go, why bother entering into officialdom and pile up superiors, constrained with numerous rules and regulations. No matter how high the official position is, it wouldn’t be higher than the Emperor, Generals, Marshals, and those high-ranking officials. Once in, even if you become a hotshot, you can’t avoid being envied and coveted by others, with added worries and constraints.”

“Being a free man, aloof from worldly disputes, unrestricted by power, acting as per your heart, how joyful it is.”

“So, I was never enthusiastic about taking you back to work in the government office, hehe… If I had your capabilities, I would absolutely not work in the officialdom.”

Feng Yin’s face became even more amiable.

The two lingered in the tree at the crossroads, under the camouflage of branches and leaves, they both became part of the tree, and even if someone accidentally passed by or used the tree as stepping-stones, it was extremely difficult to notice them.

Feng Yin was feeling particularly good at this moment.

This feeling was quite inexplicable, yet extraordinarily real.

“This is a trap.”

Feng Yin quickly stated, “I don’t know what messages you picked up, or what intelligence you’ve acquired, but this time the trap is too big, once you make a move, I fear you’ll be completely caught in it.”

“What do you mean, Mister?” Wu Tiejun frowned.

“Do you think that this matter involves the defense army? Therefore, worried about a catastrophe, you acted in advance?”

“Precisely.” Wu Tiejun admitted.

“But now they are fully prepared, and the defense army has already sent high-level military officers to the Qian Family Mansion.”

Feng Yin sighed, “Although I don’t understand what you’re plotting, or what the other side is preparing, I know one thing: any rebellion requires an opportunity.”

“Opportunity! The opportunity for a rebellion!”

Wu Tiejun was clearly stunned by this statement, he gaped, “Has it already taken shape?!”

Feng Yin said, “These days, I’ve been observing the Qian Family Mansion, there are military people entering and exiting during the night; moreover, the mansion has been filled with Yuezhou’s high society for the last few days.”

Wu Tiejun’s face turned dark.

“I suspect they are all set; once you make a move, it’ll immediately lead to a standoff; then the upper echelons will engage in power struggles, buying time; Yuezhou will be thrown into turmoil, the entire defense force will be stirred up, showing signs of a mutiny.”

“At that time, they’ll need people’s heads to quell the mutiny…”
“Once Tiannan’s men get dragged in, it’s pretty much over.”

“Or perhaps at the same time, before or after, the army gets agitated, rebellion due to oppression, or whatever, anyway, you can figure it out, it’s not impossible for Yuezhou to change hands.”

“The whole Great Qin, or the whole Tiannan District, might be dragged into the mire.”

“And from now on Great Qi and Great Yan, they no longer need to worry about Tiannan, even becoming offensive or defensive as needed…”

Feng Yin said lightly, “If I were a person of Yan State or Qi State, this kind of situation is what I would truly want, not just a Great Qin Tiannan’s Rainbow Heavenly Clothes.”

Wu Tiejun’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

It must be said, what Feng Yin said is precisely the situation that Qi State and Yan State most want to see.

If such a thing really happens, even if it only succeeds by half or even a third, it would be what the other side dreams of.
