Chapter 28: Alliance of the Four
Feng Ming Li followed Feng Zhengying as he saw that every person they encountered was bowing to them.
So Feng Ming Li made a conclusion that this place was one of his powers. Feng Ming Li tried to check their cultivation and he was stunned because a lot of people here were already in the Senior Spiritualist and Earthly Spiritualist Realm.
He didn’t know how Feng Zhengying managed to raise such powerful subordinates, but after he felt the abundance of Qi in the place, he already concluded the answer.
Feng Ming Li silently followed Feng Zhengying as they reached the training room, where they both saw two women fighting in combat inside.
Feng Ming Li was already amazed, especially seeing the two women who fought in combat at their fastest speed. He could barely see the movements they made, as if they were both born to do that thing.
He could even see that they did not use internal force to make themselves fast, which was a rare skill among all cultivators.
In the cultivation world, a lot of people depend solely on their cultivation power, especially in fighting. A lot of people are called geniuses because they manage to master their cultivation power through their own skills.
But if you find a person who solely depends on strength and not on their cultivation, out of millions of cultivators, five is already generous to say.
So when people run out of Qi in their body or toll their bodies to the point that they can’t use any other technique, they will die immediately.
Feng Zhengying is one of the people he knows who also depends on his own strength and not only on his cultivation power, making him really, really powerful.
And now, he managed to see another two in his life.
“Who are they?” Feng Ming Li was curious why he and Feng Zhengying stopped in front of the large glass.
Even his eyes couldn’t help but roam around because he didn’t know where they were. It was like they were in a different place because even a single thing, he couldn’t recognize at all.
“They are Fan Lihua and Fan Yaoli,” Feng Ming Li’s brows knitted as he looked as if he saw a ghost in front of Feng Zhengying.
“Fan Xuan Yan is in the Crown Prince's faction, why did you let the two of them here?” Feng Ming Li asked.
“They will not betray me. First of all, they already cut ties with the Fan Family, and second, this place was Fan Lihua’s, and all the people you can see are her subordinates. She solely built all of this over two years with her sister,” Feng Ming Li dropped his jaw because he couldn’t believe what Feng Zhengying said.
“They hide too deep,” Feng Ming Li was too absent-minded when he told it to Feng Zhengying.
After a while, Zexel and Fan Yaoli went out after their training. Both of them were dressed in jogging pants and sweaters.
They were wiping their sweat as Zexel saw Feng Zhengying and Feng Ming Li waiting for them.
“Ah’ying, I thought you needed to run an errand today?” Making Feng Ming Li stunned again.
Zexel’s behavior toward Feng Zhengying was too intimate.
“I’m done,” Feng Zhengying replied.
Feng Ming Li was even more stunned by Feng Zhengying’s behavior. He could see the gentleness in Feng Zhengying’s eyes as he stared at Zexel.
Zexel’s lips curved as she bowed a bit.
“Pardon for my negligence, Lihua greets Gui Wangye,” even Fan Yaoli bowed a bit, but not too low. It was enough for formalities.
Feng Ming Li felt a bit of awkwardness as he saw Zexel and Fan Yaoli bowing to him.
“You don’t have to bow to me, especially if we’re not in a public place. Since Zhengying chooses to trust the two of you, I’ll choose to trust you too,” Feng Ming Li said. Both of them nodded as they continued to go to the receiving area.
Zexel explained to Feng Ming Li what had happened over the past two years, but not their identities. Feng Zhengying knew the reason, so he didn’t pursue it anymore.
Zexel let her subordinates prepare everything for Feng Ming Li, especially when she discovered that Feng Zhengying let Feng Ming Li come here for seclusion.

Zexel and Fan Yaoli went outside to stroll around the mountain. Although this place was only a man-made mountain, Zexel had made this mountain too beautiful.
She made a lot of beautiful scenery, and one of them was the falls at the back of the mountain.
She had a treehouse in the biggest tree near the falls, and it became their destination.
“What do you think about the Ninth Prince?” Fan Yaoli asked as she stared at the falls.
“We can trust him just like Ah’ying,” Zexel knew how righteous Feng Ming Li was since she had the host’s future memories. It was one of her advantages when she traveled here, that’s why.
But she didn’t dare to use it often since she knew herself that she had already changed a lot of happenings, and a lot of things in the host’s future memories would now be useless.
On the contrary, there are still events that, no matter how much she changes her fate or how many things she changes, will still exist and will not be affected.
Just like the incoming epidemic disaster that is followed by the most tragic natural disaster of the Pingjing Dynasty.
She had already prepared everything, so she didn’t need to worry about what would happen in the near future.
“Are you sure? How can you tell?” Fan Yaoli was doubting, but she knew it was quite possible since the person she was asking was the Mafia Queen of her Modern Era.
How did she maintain her position as the highest there for more than 23 years if she didn’t have unbelievable skills?
