Chapter 547: Chapter 545 Leave the Following Matters to Me

"Yeah, based on your description, the other party’s strength couldn’t have been fooled by you, he was undeniably going easy."

Xiao Yi nodded, Situ Qingfeng had made the sparring process very clear, and as someone with experience, he understood the difference between a high-tier Bone Tempering Period and the peak. With his insight, just from Situ Qingfeng’s description of the sparring, he already knew how big the gap was between their strengths.

His expression was somewhat grim as he said, "It seems that their intention this time was indeed to force you to leave, to make you back off knowing the difficulty."

"Boss, I won’t back down. If I don’t get rid of these bastards and uproot them completely, I won’t carry the Situ surname!"

Situ Qingfeng clenched his teeth fiercely, his eyes carrying a trace of resolute determination.

"Yeah, this group of conscienceless bastards truly can’t be let off!"

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes, but he smiled slightly at Situ Qingfeng and said, "However, what’s more important right now is for you to heal your injuries first."

"Yeah."

Situ Qingfeng nodded, he was very aware that to contend with that group of people, the most important thing was to heal his injuries. Without being fully healed, everything else was just a pipe dream. In his current state, wanting to take on those people was absolutely impossible, nothing but a fool’s talk.

Thinking of the days ahead with his injuries still mending, only able to sit idly in G City while those bastards roamed free, his heart suddenly filled with urgency He lifted his head to ask Xiao Yi, "Boss, when will my injuries be healed?"

"If the healing goes quickly, you should be better within a week, but during this week, you cannot engage in combat, understood?"

Xiao Yi certainly knew what Situ Qingfeng was anxious about, but he was a doctor, not a deity. A recovery time of around five days was already the quickest pace, and to be on the safe side, he deliberately added an extra day or two as he looked at him seriously.

"A week, is it really that long?"

Situ Qingfeng had felt like his body had already healed in an instant and that he could fully recover in at most two days. However, upon hearing what Xiao Yi said, he was taken aback to learn it would actually take a week, his whole demeanor deflating as he looked at Xiao Yi with a pitiable gaze.

"Humph, do you think the injuries you sustained were light? Several of your major meridians are ruptured. A week is already the shortest time. Don’t be ungrateful!"

Xiao Yi, seeing Situ Qingfeng’s pitiful look, couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying with dissatisfaction, this guy really thought he was some kind of a miracle worker. If he had a way, wouldn’t he have used it already?

"But... Boss, a week is really too long. Those bastards..."

"Don’t worry about it for now. Leave the upcoming matters to me."

Situ Qingfeng wanted to say something more but was cut off by Xiao Yi directly.

"You? Boss, do you mean... you’re going to take action yourself?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Situ Qingfeng’s face immediately showed a hint of surprise, followed by disbelief as he asked.

"Although I’m not as good as you at investigating cases, this time you’ve already found so many clues, I think there shouldn’t be any problem."

There was a faint glimmer in Xiao Yi’s face, and a sharp, chilling light occasionally flashed through his eyes.

From the moment Situ Qingfeng began to recount his experience, Xiao Yi had decided to personally get involved in the case. He wouldn’t let them continue to get away with their deeds any longer. Those bastards, not only committing heinous, cruel crimes that defy conscience but also daring to be so arrogant, to toy with Situ Qingfeng, and to hurt him to this extent—it made Xiao Yi furious!

Although he didn’t know why they didn’t kill Situ Qingfeng, he wouldn’t be grateful for that. To him, the fact that they had seriously injured Situ Qingfeng was enough to enrage him!

Whoever hurt his friend, that wounded him even more than if they had hurt him personally!

"Boss, don’t underestimate them, those people, they have masters at the pinnacle of the Bone Tempering Period, and maybe, there’s more than one..."

Situ Qingfeng looked at Xiao Yi’s expression, and while moved, showed a degree of solemnity and worry. In his eyes, Xiao Yi’s strength was at the pinnacle of the Bone Tempering Period, just a notch above his own. Going in alone would be too dangerous.

"I know, don’t worry, I’m not as foolhardy as you. If I can’t beat them, I’ll run away myself."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, interrupting Situ Qingfeng.

"Boss, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stop you. I’ll call Xiaomei right now to discuss it with you..."

Situ Qingfeng, noticing the faint smile on Xiao Yi’s face and the light sparkling in his eyes, instantly knew that Xiao Yi had made his decision. He didn’t say anything more, knowing that it would be futile. Moreover, he felt that Xiao Yi was right to make this choice. The longer those bastards were at large, the more children would be victimized. Also, for some reason, they had recently been acting more recklessly, as if in a rush to abduct a certain number of children, which was a major reason he was able to find the clues.

"No need, I’ll go by myself. I’m not a cop, not used to collaborating on... uh... cases. I prefer working alone."

As soon as Xiao Yi heard Situ Qingfeng’s words, he was startled and quickly waved his hands.

It was a joke to him; the last thing he wanted was Zeng Xiaomei, that beautiful policewoman, tagging along on a case—it would be the death of him, not to mention having to deal with a group of other policemen. That was absurd.

Besides, bringing them along would only be a burden to him. With his current strength, even Zeng Xiaomei, a high-tier practitioner of the Bone Tempering Period, would be a burden, let alone the other cops. Situ Qingfeng’s injury was already a lesson to be learned; he did not want to repeat the same mistake. If their opponents were merely experts at the peak of the Bone Tempering Period, ensuring their safe retreat wouldn’t be an issue, but if they encountered someone from the Condensation Period, he wouldn’t dare to guarantee anything.

Now, going solo, he could act more conveniently and efficiently—that was best for him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
