Chapter 94: Chapter 82: Kong Gaohan Arrives [2nd Update] Chapter 94: Chapter 82: Kong Gaohan Arrives [2nd Update] In such a situation, it would already be a luxury for He Bibiqu to have anyone grant him face, especially those executive officials on the higher levels.

It could be said that it’s easier to meet King Yama than to deal with troublesome ghosts, or even colder, ‘the tea turns cold as soon as the guest departs’. That’s just human nature, and it has always been that way throughout history!

After all, even if He Bibiqu had the ability to punish them, he could not possibly do so during this most critical time. That would only cause more trouble for his successors.

But now, with He Bibiqu fully recovered and incredibly confident, he is not afraid to lay down the law, ‘If I assign you a task and you dare cause me any trouble, I will slap you dead!’ No one dares to utter a word! Even if a lawsuit is escalated to Qing Ming himself, He Bibiqu is certain of victory, his confidence is unwavering!

Whether in this world or in Feng Yin’s previous life, reality is always, painfully, the same!

“Yes.”

“Everything Mr. Feng requested is here. Take it all and deliver it to him.”

He Bibiqu replied indifferently, “I only have eighteen of the Demon Race’s Spiritual Pearls on hand, plus two high-grade ones sent from headquarters, so that’s twenty in total. I hope that’s enough for Mr. Feng’s temporary use. I’ll keep looking for more. Whatever amount I can get my hands on, I’ll get. The same goes for other medicinal herbs.”

He glanced at Wu Tiejun: “Listen carefully, don’t ask Mr. Feng why he needs certain herbs for his medicine making; it’s enough to know what he needs.”

“Yes!” Wu Tiejun answered seriously.

“Also …” He Bibiqu addressed Wu Tiejun,” Mr. Feng couldn’t have just given you these five pills, right? He must have also given you the ones that were unsuccessful but still effective against internal injuries, correct?”

Wu Tiejun stared wide eyed, adamantly denying, “No! Mr. Feng did not give me any!”

He Bibiqu snorted and stretched out his hand: “Hand them over!”

Wu Tiejun wore an expression as if he had been cut, muttering, “Really not… there really aren’t many.”

An angry He Bibiqu said, “Hand them over! Every piece of medicine that Mr. Feng gives you could save the life of one of your comrades, but at a huge cost to him. Can you afford such an expense? Without spiritual medicine in return, I cannot use the resources of the Heavenly Clothes to compensate Mr. Feng, don’t you understand this point?”

Wu Tiejun drooped his head, feeling hit where it hurt: he couldn’t afford to compensate.

Even if he pooled all his resources, he still wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Being broke meant no bargaining power!

With a pained look and trembling hand, he took out the medicine, tightly gripping it and pleading, “Elder, please leave more for our Blue Squadron…”
He Bibiqu snapped, “I’m not saying I’m going to take it all. Isn’t half enough? When are you going to break this habit of keeping everything for yourself? How can you attract big fish without offering some benefits? How can you transform them into a steady stream of wealth? How can you achieve anything big with such a stingy attitude? Do you understand that those in power above value the big picture?”

“Half?! That’s enough! That’s enough!”

Wu Tiejun was overjoyed.

He Bibiqu counted the number of pills and his expression drastically changed. He was filled with regret and wanted to step down, “How can there be so many? How are you all going to use them up!”

He Bibiqu never expected that there would be such a magical medicine; Mr. Feng had given him a staggering one hundred and sixty of them all at once!

So many!

Half of it meant eighty pills!

He Bibiqu guessed that there would be only ten or twenty of these semi-finished spiritual medicines, only then did he promise to give half of them away.

Is Wu Tiejun’s small squad worthy of receiving eighty miracle drugs?

He Bibiqu felt this was an outright waste!

This is a miracle drug, capable of healing internal injuries and preventing the exhaustion of life energy!

“Sir, you’ve got it wrong!”

Wu Tiejun instantly glared at him, arguing, “We may not use them all at once, but we can save them for later use. Besides, sir, you just said it yourself, a man should never go back on his word.”

He Bibiqu frowned, “I feel like thirty pills are plenty … you don’t have to be so …”
“Sir! Sir, you can’t go back on your word…”

Wu Tiejun stood his ground.

In the end, He Bibiqu even suggested letting him keep sixty pills, but he still refused.

“Eighty pills, not one less. Seventy-nine won’t do!” Wu Tiejun was resolute.

He Bibiqu became so upset that he was turning green. He pulled out eighty pills: “Go! Go at once! Go right now! I don’t want to see your stubborn face ever again!”

“Alright.”

Wu Tiejun turned to leave.

“Remember, these pills are leftovers from the Jianghu Town last time, Mr. Feng’s existence must not be exposed.”

“Understood.”

“Hey, get out of here!”

“Sir, as far as I know, Fei Xinyu has secretly stashed twenty pills.”

“Fei Xinyu??”

“It’s an absolute fact! Mr. Feng told me! Fei Xinyu is a terrible man, taking advantage of his position for personal gain. Sir, in my humble opinion, this kind of behavior is intolerable and must be sternly punished!”

“Hmm, I see.”

“I’d better take my leave.”

…

Wu Tiejun finally left.

He Bibiqu violently kicked the chair Wu Tiejun had been sitting in, as if he was shattering this stubborn man into pieces. He let out a long sigh, loudly declaring, “Send out the invitations, ask the heads of the various divisions to come for a meeting. Tell them that there are important matters to discuss.”

“Yes, sir. When they arrive, they’ll probably be unhappy with the conversation, especially after tonight’s incident…”

“Hmmph, in front of me, who would dare!”

Now, He Bibiqu was standing tall and undisputed. His dominance was unchallenged; he seemed to see no one as his equal.

Thus, the three stars of Tiannan were sent to deliver invites.

He Bibiqu leisurely prepared a cup of tea, then used spiritual power to clean up the room, ensuring no traces of blood and other abnormalities remained. Before, he would not have wanted to waste his spiritual power so unnecessarily.

But today, right now, it was nothing!
As he sipped his tea and contemplated, he knew he had to pretend to be injured for a while longer. He has to put on this act even in front of the old guys with Heavenly Clothes. He wanted to see who would dare to disrespect him.

This was neither sneakiness nor cheapness, but wisdom!

He would definitely make them suffer!

As he was thought about the satisfaction of grabbing Chu Xiaotan and giving him a good beating, he suddenly broke into a lopsided grin.

It truly felt good!

Chu Xiaotan had been opposing him all his life…

Just as he was lost in his delightful thoughts, a voice suddenly echoed, “Is He Bibiqu in here?”

It was a familiar voice.

He Bibiqu quickly changed his facial expression, hurriedly hid the healing potion, and then his face instantly turned pale, like the deathly grays he wore before.

A quick glance around ensured that no slip-ups were made. He then burst into a hearty laugh, welcoming the visitor with a face full of smiles.

With a great warmth, he shook hands with an elderly man in white clothes, his face showing a mix of surprise and joy. “Minister Kong, why did you suddenly come here? You didn’t even give me a heads-up. Haha, I am pleasantly surprised and ecstatic!”

The man outside sported white hair as pure as snow, a serene face extremely kind. His eyes were bright and clear, and strangely, his brows were half black and half white, sword-like with inky color except for white tufts at the ends, somewhat slanted upwards.

This unusual contrast of black-white brow shapes gave an otherwise mournful face a tinge of severity and sharpness.

This was Minister Kong Gaohan of the White Clothes Division from the illustrious Heavenly Clothes Seven Divisions. He was known as the saintly healing hand, the devilish killer.

A saint that heals people;
A blade wielding maniac in chaotic times.

The soft hand, the sharp blade.

Kills easier than saves.

The man in question was Elder Kong.

Upon seeing He Bibiqu, Kong Gaohan carried a warm smile on his face and softly said, “I couldn’t resist coming to see how you are doing. Even though you did take some divine medicine and look a bit better, your plotting against Miao Sensen came at a cost. Your injury got aggravated and even the divine medicine’s benefits got greatly reduced. How could I not worry?”

Mid-sentence, he suddenly paused, his gaze sharpening and sweeping over He Bibiqu, his eyes then filled with surprise.

He Bibiqu expressed gratitude, “Big Brother Kong really is my good brother. I am indeed ashamed for causing you so much worry.”

However, the astonishment in Kong Gaohan’s eyes only intensified, his eyes widening and his finger trembling. “Your…your injuries…”.

He Bibiqu sighed, adopting an air of defeat, “We only have a few years left, might as well embrace the severity of our injuries. Come on, we have not seen each other in a while. Let’s sit down and have some tea.”

Kong Gaohan suddenly shook off He Bibiqu’s hand, his voice lowered with anger, “Are you trying to fool me? Do you think I’m an ordinary cultivator? As a medic, observing and diagnosing are basic skills. There’s a fundamental difference between the pallor caused by injury and the one purposely made. You old bastard deserve a thousand cuts!”

“I really…”

“You dare say you’re not healed?”

He Bibiqu coughed, “Alright, alright, you win. Can you lower your voice, you old man…why does your voice get louder as you age!”

Kong Gaohan shot him a fierce glare and strode into the room.

He Bibiqu had no choice but to follow along with an ingratiating smile. He had been caught out by the man who not only was older but had also saved his life multiple times in the past. He had been suffering from the Ice and Snow Cold Poison for thirty years and if it were not for the help of this old man, he would not have made it this far. He was afraid of nothing and no one, but he held utmost respect for this saintly hand, he behaved respectfully each time. And now that his old friend was aware of his secret, he had to tread carefully.

“Oh no, this old man is definitely going to take advantage of me this time, he saw through my disguise just like that.”

He Bibiqu muttered to himself in annoyance.

“There’s not much left anyway…”
