Chapter Ten: Who Mistakenly Identified Someone?

The Yue, Ma, and Yang armies, originally one entity, though separated for a century, still felt like one family. The Ma family's

only eldest daughter was going to university in Nantian City. Naturally, the Yue family, the local tycoon family stationed there, had to offer

a welcome.

In the Ma family, daughters were considered more precious than sons throughout history. Each generation might have many sons, but only

one daughter, and only this one girl could inherit the Ma family's miraculous "Dragon Vein" and cultivate the Ma family's wondrous "Taiqing Sect"

Taoist arts.

Yue Jianfeng, the commander of the Yue family army, instructed his son Yue Zhengyang to host a lively

private The arrangements would be made by Yue Zhengyang and his sister Yue Yunjiao, and he and his grandmother would also

attend.

After Shui Linfeng and Ma Yingfei and her servants extinguished the lights and went to sleep, he impatiently bypassed the various insidious traps and restrictions.

With a few leaps, he flew straight to the top of the pavilion. In the middle of the spirit beast pavilion beams, where the twin dragons frolic in the sea, was a Sun Profound Origin Mirror,

the very entrance that continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of Purple Dragon Mountain.

Shui Linfeng, shirtless, stood on the Profound Origin Mirror, silently circulating his profound energy. The moment his profound meridians

connected with the Purple-Gold Dragon Qi, Shui Linfeng was thrown back down.

The Purple-Gold Spirit Dragon Qi was not merely of the same origin as his own cultivated profound energy; it was as if it were tailor-made for

his divine skill. Shui Linfeng's profound pores were wide open, absorbing too much, and the sudden surge of spiritual energy was

overwhelming. In mid-air, his body twisted sharply, his left hand barely grabbing the tail of the "Mocking Wind Beast" at the corner of the pavilion, his entire body

hanging in mid-air, almost falling to the ground.

Although Phoenix Perch Pavilion only has three stories, each story is three zhang (approximately 10 meters) high. Including the eaves and beast-shaped roof, the entire pavilion

is nine zhang, nine chi, and nine cun (approximately 6.6 meters) tall. Falling from such a height would undoubtedly break Shui Linfeng's bones and tendons.

Inside Phoenix Perch Pavilion, Ma Yingfei sat cross-legged on the Taiji Eye of the eighty-one Xuan Yuan Jiao Golden Lamp array. These Xuan Yuan Jiao

Golden Lamps were neither oil lamps nor electric lamps, but spirit lamps lit by the purple-gold dragon energy absorbed by the spirit beasts on the pavilion's roof.

As long as the spiritual energy continued, the golden lamps would not go out. The powerful purple-gold dragon energy collected and refined by the lamps was absorbed into Ma Yingfei's body for

further refinement. During this process, 999.9% of the energy was lost; only about one-thousandth of

the spiritual energy could be absorbed.

Ma Yingfei's Taiqing Sect Daoist techniques were already extremely profound; if she were from another Daoist sect, she wouldn't even be able to absorb that

one-thousandth of the spiritual energy. One-thousandth of the royal capital's purple dragon spiritual energy was truly a considerable amount.

Ma Yingfei's cultivation level is now far superior to Shui Linfeng's. She sensed Shui Linfeng

sneaking and immediately activated her Heavenly Eye to observe his every move.

She had also instructed him that evening not to wander around Phoenix Perch Pavilion, as almost every inch of the space was protected by extremely powerful mechanisms

and restrictions . The Purple-Gold Dragon Qi was too strong; the excess was used within the grand formation of Phoenix Perch Pavilion.

The dragons on the stone railings, the beast horns on the artificial hills, and so on, could all be spiritual artifacts or mechanisms. Whether human, demon,

ghost, or anything from the mortal or underworld realm, triggering these mechanisms would result in immediate and merciless death.

Even birds couldn't land in Phoenix Perch Pavilion. Ma Yingfei herself dared not wander around much either. The entire

"Mysterious Origin Chaotic Heavenly Star-Shooting Array" of Phoenix Perch Pavilion was

set .

After the arrangements were completed, the information was handed over to Ma Xiuying, the ancestor of the Ma family who was then the founding empress of the Ming Dynasty. She had only explained it for a short

while when an urgent military situation arose, and Emperor Zhu urgently summoned her away. The explanation was fragmented,

constantly interrupted by various matters.

Ma Xiuying didn't know much either, so naturally, Ma Yingfei's knowledge was also limited. Of the entire Phoenix Perch Pavilion, only

the guardhouse at the entrance was safe. Otherwise, would the Ma family have trusted Ma Yingfei to live in the vast

Phoenix Perch Pavilion with only a maid? Anyone unaware of the situation would need at least a regiment of soldiers, using corpses to

forcefully block the mechanisms, to approach the main building of Phoenix Perch Pavilion.

In the imperial district of Zilong Mountain, who would mobilize a thousand men to openly and brazenly attack Phoenix Perch Pavilion?

To avoid loss of life! Ma Yingfei repeatedly emphasized the power of the formation and seriously warned Shui Linfeng that this was

a formation set up by the Earth Immortal Liu Ji, and almost no one in the world could unravel it.

Not to mention Liu Ji, Shui Linfeng really wouldn't dare to trespass recklessly. Being able to absorb the remaining purple-gold spiritual energy on the outer perimeter of Phoenix Perch Pavilion

was already quite an achievement. The mere mention of Liu Bowen immediately ignited Shui Linfeng's greed; the quality of spiritual energy on the outer perimeter and at the top of the pavilion

was worlds apart.

Ma Yingfei, using her Heavenly Eye, observed Shui Linfeng weaving through the mysterious array, turning left and right without touching a single

mechanism , leisurely flying from the back of Phoenix Perch Pavilion to the top as if taking a stroll. She was utterly astonished.

After returning to the guardhouse alone, Shui Linfeng had already opened the "Linglong Record," which his master, Daoist Shao, had explained clearly and

in detail—the Profound Origin Chaotic Star Shooting Array of Phoenix Perch Pavilion—and memorized it thoroughly after a few repetitions.

Shui Linfeng broke out in a cold sweat. With a powerful movement of his left hand, he flipped over and flew onto the Profound Origin Mirror. This time, he

stripped off all his clothes, throwing them in a corner of the pavilion, revealing all 360 of his profound acupoints, and slowly began to absorb the spiritual energy. The purple-gold spiritual dragon energy was

slowly and continuously absorbed into his body without the slightest leakage.

It's not surprising that cultivators often practice naked to facilitate the absorption of spiritual energy through their body's pores;

clothing is inconvenient.

In the grand formation on the third floor of the pavilion, Ma Yingfei was also cultivating completely naked when all eighty-one golden dragon lamps suddenly went out

. Seeing through her Heavenly Eye that Shui Linfeng had completely severed the purple-gold spiritual energy, a thought struck her: Could it be that

the person my aunt and great-aunt wanted me to find was him?!

After a full two hours, or four hours later, Shui Linfeng felt his body overflowing with spiritual energy.

The amount of spiritual energy injected in just four hours was more than a year's worth of intensive cultivation. Suppressing his elation, Shui Linfeng changed his

posture , and ended his cultivation. At this rate, one day of cultivation in the Phoenix Perch Pavilion would be equivalent to a year. Even if Ma Yingfei didn't want him,

none of the restrictions and mechanisms in the Phoenix Perch Pavilion could stop him; he could sneak off to cultivate diligently at night!

From the main building to the guardhouse, it was only about a hundred meters long. With a few leaps in mid-air, Shui Linfeng

brought the guardhouse lights on.

On the third floor, in Ma Yingfei's Qi Refining Hall, the eighty-one golden lamps shone again. Amidst the flickering lights, Ma Yingfei sat

blankly in the great formation, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't believe that the problem that had plagued the Ma family women for millennia would fall

upon this man!

The next morning, Ma Yingfei ate breakfast, got into the white Porsche that Ah Xiang had backed out of the garage, but...

Refusing to drive Shui Linfeng along, he stepped on the gas, and the Porsche sped away.

It turned out that yesterday, A Xiang had taken Shui Linfeng up the front mountain's stone steps, a shortcut that went straight up and down. A winding mountain road connecting the various mansions had long been built

around Zilong Mountain.

Shui Linfeng didn't mind; he grabbed some things, hugged and kissed A Xiang who walked up, and

strode down the stone steps of the shortcut.

The first day of school wasn't too bad, just distributing books and such! Shui Linfeng took

the opportunity to greet Wang Jianbo and the other two, explaining that he would be living in Fengqi Pavilion and would help them deal with any dormitory checks.

Tomorrow, all the freshmen would be going to Pingdingshan in Jiangdu for two weeks of military training. Shui Linfeng figured Ma Yingfei

was also a freshman and probably wouldn't be able to escape either.

As Shui Linfeng and his companions, chatting and laughing, stepped out of the main gate, they heard a sweet voice call out, "Shui Linfeng, come here!"

The voice was icy cold, and it was immediately recognizable as Ma Yingfei's. No one else possessed such a clear, cold, alluring, and arrogant

voice. Hearing Ma Yingfei's cold tone, Wang Jianbo and the other two knew that Shui Linfeng was indeed not Lingdang, and they

greeted him in unison before leaving.

Ma Yingfei took a large bag from the car, filled with newly issued books. She said to Shui Linfeng, "I

have something to do today, I won't be going back for lunch or dinner, take my books with me!"

Shui Linfeng smiled and asked, "Is Miss going to military training tomorrow too?"

Ma Yingfei replied, "Who dares to train me? But I still have to go to Pingdingshan tomorrow!"

Ma Yingfei held the rank of major. According to the laws of Daze, those with military ranks were exempt from regular military

training . Among the three classes of commoners in the Daze Empire, there were military households, farmers, artisans, and miscellaneous households.

Military households were retired officers (colonels and captains) who did not reach the rank of general at the founding of the Great Ze

Empire

. Military households enjoyed special treatment; they could be exempted from military service or pay only low-level military service when opening shops or factories. They had priority entry into the army and were the Great Ze Empire's natural reserve force. Their children, after reaching adulthood and passing necessary examinations, could be granted

ranks of captain or lower even if not in the military.

Agricultural households included farmers, fishermen, herders, etc.; industrial households included skilled workers, engineers, merchants, doctors,

and other businesses with formal occupations. Shui Linfeng's background was tragic; he was a third-class commoner,

his status in the empire only slightly better than a slave—he had personal freedom, but his living conditions were far worse than those of slaves in wealthy families! With

Ma Yingfei not returning, Shui Linfeng happily strolled hand-in-hand with A Xiang through Nantian City. A Xiang

was unfamiliar with the area , and being in the forbidden zone of Zilong Mountain, she rarely went to bustling city centers.

Shui Linfeng asked her to remove the slave leather collar from her pink neck, but A Xiang refused, insisting on

getting . The laws of the Great Swamp Empire were very harsh. Slaves who removed their collars without their masters' permission

were to be whipped.

Shui Linfeng was in a good mood today, wearing the expensive clothes Ma Yingfei had given him. He had unusually dressed himself

impeccably , and with A Xiang by his side, the two wandered around the Confucius Temple. As fate would have it, Shui Linfeng had received

some money from the construction site and, taking a beautiful woman out, wanted to show off a bit.

At three in the afternoon, both were a little hungry. Shui Linfeng, holding A Xiang's hand, went to "Qifang Pavilion"

to eat "Da Zhu Gan Si" (a local specialty of Nantian City). They ate and chatted as they ate.

Perhaps because A Xiang was quite pretty, four or five burly men escorted a strong man up to the second floor. The man's

eyes immediately lit up with lust when he saw A Xiang, and seeing the slave collar around her neck, he thought the pretty girl was easy to bully. Although

a burly man sat opposite her, the rules of the Great Law clearly stated that slaves could not

sit on equal footing .

The burly man and the beautiful woman wearing a slave ring sat facing each other, chatting and laughing; he was clearly no

important figure, so she paid him no mind. Ignoring the shopkeeper's invitation, she led her men straight to Shui Linfeng's

table.

Shui Linfeng was chatting happily with A Xiang when a large hand slammed on the table, and a lecherous face loomed over:

"Little sister's face is so tender! I wonder if her vagina is tender too?"

The burly men beside her laughed loudly, echoing, "Take it off and we'll know!"

A Xiang blushed crimson with embarrassment. Shui Linfeng, his mood ruined, was furious. His eyes flashed, and he roared,

"Get out!"

The entire shop immediately fell silent. Shui Linfeng was a penniless wretch, not a member of the underworld,

rarely eating in shops, and seldom knowing anyone of high status.

The visitor was Wu Daren, nicknamed "Shaking-Head Tai Sui." His uncle was Yue Dashuai's driver.

He was on good terms with a detective chief in the Nantian City Criminal Investigation Bureau, and a friend of "Old Root," a local gang leader.

He terrorized the Confucius Temple area, bullying men and women, and no one dared to interfere.

"Clothes make the man," as the saying goes. Shui Linfeng usually dressed haphazardly, partly because he had little money,

and partly because he was somewhat self-deprecating, always looking disheveled. Today, however, he brought A Xiang out, got a new haircut, and wore

a set of designer clothes and shoes. He wasn't truly stupid; from A Xiang's words, he knew she had feelings for him.

Normally, for someone from Shui Linfeng's family, finding a wife was a pipe dream, but everyone wants to improve their situation. A

Xiang was a beautiful young woman; if she married him, she could escape her slave status. It was a win-win situation, and

everyone was willing to get together.

Enraged by the disturbance, Shui Linfeng, skilled in martial arts, paid no heed to those burly men! Seeing them

standing there like stunned birds, he roared again, "Didn't you hear me! Get lost!"

Wu Daren, a bully in the neighborhood, feared by all, was furious to be insulted like a dog by a young man. His

veins bulged with anger, but he laughed instead of getting angry, "Do you know who I am!"

Shui Linfeng, outwardly gentle but inwardly strong, fearless and ruthless, was capable of stabbing even the King of Heaven

three times if he really lost his temper. He just wanted Wu Daren to leave, and impatiently said, "I don't care who you are! Get lost!"

Wu Daren, truly humiliated, turned ashen-faced and slapped him. Shui Linfeng didn't even raise an eyebrow;

with a casual grab of his left hand, a slight force was applied, and the sound of bones breaking rang out.

Wu Daren's eyes welled up with tears, and his face quickly turned from ashen to blood red. " Just kidding," Wu Daren cried out in pain, his entire wrist bone

shattered. "Ouch! Let go!"

Several burly men nearby tried to rush forward, but Shui Linfeng grabbed Wu Daren's wrist and struck him repeatedly in the face

. In the blink of an eye, the man rolled on the ground.

Several burly men lay on the ground, their faces covered in blood, groaning in pain. Nearby shopkeepers watched in terror, and a

kind-hearted person cried out, "Young man, hurry! His uncle is the driver of Commander Yue! Don't offend him!"

Shui Linfeng, his temper flaring, didn't care about any "Yue" or "Yang" Commander. He kicked

another man away angrily, saying, "Bullshit! If Old Man Yue pisses me off, I'll beat him too!"

Seeing the men lying on the ground, A Xiang quickly grabbed Shui Linfeng's hand, saying, "Alright! Let them go!"

Shui Linfeng couldn't refuse A Xiang's words, shaking off Wu Daren's hand, he said, "Get lost!"

Wu Daren gritted his teeth, stood up with his men, and said, "Don't you dare leave!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, "You idiot! Trying to talk tough! I'll count to three! If you don't leave, believe me, I'll kill

you!"

Wu Daren wanted to retort, but a burly man beside him gave him a wink and pulled him away.

As soon as Wu Daren left, a kind-hearted person nearby hurriedly said to Shui Linfeng, "Hurry up! If you're late, you won't be able to leave!"

Shui Linfeng, young and impetuous, was unaware of the danger and couldn't back down in front of A Xiang. A Xiang, following

behind Ma Yingfei, didn't think much of it and didn't dare to offend anyone in the Northwest.

Seeing everyone had run away, Shui Linfeng laughed, "What are you afraid of! We haven't finished eating the dried bean curd yet!

It's not too late !"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't want your money! Hurry up and leave after you finish eating!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, "That's perfect! Go get another bowl! If it's free, why not eat it!"

The more timid people paid the bill and left in a hurry, while the bolder ones deliberately ate slowly, staying behind to see what would happen.

A moment later, Wu Daren came up with two detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau. The two detectives peeked out and saw Shui

Linfeng and Ma Yingfei still there, chatting and laughing, as if nothing had happened, and were greatly surprised.

Wu Daren pointed at Shui Linfeng from afar and said, "That's him!"

The two detectives, who spent their days moving around the yamen, were shrewd and knew their place. They'd never seen a local "

celebrity sit idly by and wait to be arrested before.

Shui Linfeng, this country bumpkin, saw Wu Daren bring two detectives over in a short time, and they seemed quite

familiar with . He thought to himself, "Damn it! Today's gone too far! Should I subdue him and leave, or obediently

go back with them?"

He ate some dried bean curd while his mind raced. Ah Xiang, used to using Wu Daren's power, didn't find anything

wrong . Seeing the two detectives approach, she pointed at Wu Daren with a charming smile and said, "He spoke rudely, shouldn't he be taught a lesson?"

One of the older detectives, a shrewd and experienced officer, felt that something

was amiss he didn't get agitated, but instead grabbed the other detective who was about to arrest him and began to sized up Shui Linfeng

.

Shui Linfeng suppressed his fear, knowing that if they returned to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, they would be severely injured, if not killed.

Gritting his teeth , he decided to cripple the two agents first;

at worst, he could simply flee to the ends of the earth. Having thought it through, he was no longer afraid. Hatred welled up within him, and a murderous intent surged. A flash of lightning appeared in his tiger-like eyes, and he coldly

snorted, "If you want to arrest me, then do it! What are you looking at!"

The older agent's eyes met Shui Linfeng's, and a chill ran down his spine. He had already clearly seen Shui

Linfeng's snow-white attire. His gaze shifted, and he noticed the inconspicuous, strangely shaped blue dragon on Shui Linfeng's left chest, further

shattering his heart.

He cautiously asked, "From the north?"

Ah Xiang replied, "Yes! Is that not allowed?"

The agent hurriedly said, "Sorry! You've mistaken me for someone else!"

He pulled the agent beside him and turned to leave.

Wu Daren was utterly bewildered and shouted from behind, "You two idiots! I told you to arrest someone!

Why are you acting like you've seen a ghost!"

The older detective lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up and go! Don't cause trouble!"

Wu Daren roared, "What do you mean, cause trouble! My wrist is broken..."

The other detective, though confused, knew the older detective wouldn't panic without reason. The older

detective quickly covered Wu Daren's mouth: "We'll talk about it at the station! It's scarier than seeing a ghost!"

Shui Linfeng stood there, completely baffled! Ah Xiang was stunned at first, then suddenly seemed to realize something and

burst into a giggle, laughing so hard she was shaking.

Shui Linfeng asked, "What's so funny?"

Ah Xiang suppressed her laughter and replied, "They really have mistaken me for someone else!"
