Chapter 624: Chapter 626: Scheming with Me

Chu Feng saw Jin Yu and was about to speak when he suddenly interrupted Jin Yu, saying, "Remember this, don’t get it wrong. It’s what you know, not what I know; there’s no need for you to tell me what I already know. Otherwise, you also know how forgetful I am. I’m worried that I’ll forget myself and whether I’ve conducted the red wine experiment or not."

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Jin Yu couldn’t help but shiver. That feeling of being gnawed on by a thousand ants was still fresh in his memory. If he had to experience that feeling again, he would rather die.

Jin Yu nodded and said, "Actually, I don’t know much either. I only know that whether they come after me or the Zhuang Family, in the end, the one they really want to deal with is you, Young Master Chu."

"No, it’s the Holy Stele in your hands. When the Holy Stele was in my Jin Family’s hands, they didn’t dare to act, probably because of the colossal figure lurking behind my Jin Family. But now that barrier is gone, they naturally can act without any scruples."

Chu Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Then why do you think the person who was once hidden behind your Jin Family is now willing to let this happen? Or why don’t they take action themselves? I think their success rate might be higher if they did it themselves."

This was a question that Chu Feng never understood, and of course, it wasn’t that he was afraid but rather he was looking forward to it. Only if they acted, could Chu Feng find out who was the one hiding in the shadows who had killed his elder brother.

If they didn’t act, naturally they would leave no trace, and then it would be impossible to find them. Even if Chu Feng were an Immortal, he could not find out who they really were.

Jin Yu shook his head and said, "Young Master Chu, I really don’t understand either. I also want to know why they didn’t act directly. If they did, at least I would have known who killed my father."

Chu Feng said, "You really don’t know a thing about the people behind your Jin Family?"

Jin Yu shook his head and said, "I don’t know at all, my father never told me. Moreover, after my father’s death, all traces of them in the Jin Family were erased very thoroughly. I have searched every inch of the Jin Family land, even to the extent of digging three feet into the ground, but not even a slight trace was left."

Anyone capable of doing this must possess an enormously powerful force. Even Dragon Soul couldn’t find any trace or shadow of them. If that isn’t power, what is?

Such a person, unless they take the initiative to act, with Chu Feng’s current power, it’s simply impossible to find them.

"Alright, tell me what else you know?" He wouldn’t rush to judge something that hadn’t happened yet.

Because such judgment is often wildly inaccurate. The future could bring countless changes, and each variation corresponds to different outcomes.

Such prediction was not very meaningful for Chu Feng. It was more important to handle the current situation well.

"The Qi Family has teamed up with the Bai Family and another prominent family from Songjiang, planning to enter East River together," Jin Yu revealed everything he knew.

Chu Feng stroked his chin and said, "The Bai Family is still bouncing around so energetically. Didn’t they get hurt badly enough from their fall in Yanjing?"

Jin Yu said, "Young Master Chu, as far as I know, in the recent struggle in Yanjing, the Bai Family gained enough benefits. It seems the Bai Family played a very disgraceful role—a double agent."

"Oh? How so?" Chu Feng hadn’t paid attention to Yanjing’s affairs since leaving Yanjing City.

After all, Yanjing was too far away from Chu Feng, and he didn’t want to overextend himself. Wasn’t there a ’Saint’ who said it’s easy to overstep when taking too large a step?

Chu Feng still had great use for his "eggs," so he didn’t want to take too big a step.

Taking too big a step could make you memorable, making people think you have designs on Yanjing.

Then, instead of helping, it would make things worse, drawing more attention.

Chu Feng didn’t currently possess the ambition to clash with the people of Yanjing City.

Though his roots in Yanjing weren’t any weaker than anyone else’s.

But all that was external force, and Chu Feng didn’t want to rely on external force because he couldn’t ensure that these forces wouldn’t vanish all at once. In such a case, Chu Feng would truly be at a disadvantage; it’s essential to be strong in one’s own right.

Thus, Chu Feng was unaware of what had happened to the Bai Family after his departure.

Jin Yu said, "Based on the intelligence I’ve gathered and analyzed, this time the Bai Family must have had connections with the Qi Family. The Shangguan Family’s downfall, other than you, Young Master Chu, benefiting the most, the Qi Family and the Bai Family were the next biggest benefactors. It could be said that not only did the Bai Family not get implicated, but they also gained support from the Qi Family and reaped significant benefits."

Chu Feng said playfully, "According to what you’re saying, I was used by others again, wasn’t I?"

Jin Yu said, "No, Young Master Chu, the Bai Family and the Qi Family didn’t have any connections before. It was after your actions that they colluded."

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "But I still feel somewhat displeased. Playing with these people means I could fall into their schemes at any time."

Jin Yu looked at Chu Feng and boldly said, "Young Master Chu, in fact, everyone is in your schemes. I don’t believe you hadn’t seen any signs at that time. Weren’t you using the Qi Family’s power then? I know about the things between Chu Feng and the Qi Family in the underground bar. I don’t really believe that you didn’t investigate the Qi Family afterwards."

Jin Yu was right; Chu Feng truly had played a trick on the Qi Family. Of course, that involved a lot, and there was no need for Chu Feng to explain all these things to Jin Yu.

Chu Feng looked at Jin Yu and said, "After I controlled you, I discovered that you’re quite smart and bold enough to speak the truth."

Jin Yu didn’t deny it, saying, "Perhaps that’s just my nature, Young Master Chu."

Chu Feng said, "I used to think I was the meanest, but after meeting you, if anyone calls me that again, I’ll just direct them to look at you."

Jin Yu had no response, his expression somewhat awkward.

"Even so, I’m still a bit upset. Especially about this matter, do you think I’m someone who would let a grudge go unavenged?" Chu Feng asked Jin Yu.

Jin Yu earnestly shook his head and said, "No. Young Master Chu, you’re someone who avenges grievances on the same day. If you want to take revenge, you definitely won’t wait until the next day."

Chu Feng said, "Don’t flatter me too much; look, I ended up coming to find you the next day, didn’t I? Now, tell me, do you have any dirty tricks up your sleeve to deal with the Qi Family, spill it to me."
