It turns out that this grandson's purpose lies here.
At this moment, Wei Yuan saw Shen Qingyi acting as if he were mad, and he immediately understood Xu Feng's intentions.
It turns out that Shen Qingyi's personality is quite proud; he cannot be provoked. Once he becomes impulsive, he acts without considering the consequences.
No wonder this guy has so many disciples from the Purple Robe Pavilion by his side, but when trouble arises, not a single one is willing to stand with him.
This guy is arrogant, greedy, indecisive, and has poor self-control; he is full of weaknesses. Why does Yuan Ziyi seem to be so wary of him?
Logically speaking, Shen Qingyi is an elder of the Purple Robe Pavilion, and Yuan Ziyi should know his background well. However, based on what he has witnessed with his own eyes, it seems this person is full of weaknesses. Is there really a need to be so cautious of him?
Wei Yuan was puzzled and could only continue eavesdropping at the door.
Feeling that the situation in the room was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, Wei Yuan was also quite troubled. He had already guessed Xu Feng's purpose behind his actions.
He merely wanted to exploit Shen Qingyi's weakness to create a commotion that would attract Wei Yuan and others like Flying Eagle. However, if he did this, even if he managed to drive Shen Qingyi away, he would still fall firmly into Wei Yuan's hands and would have no chance to escape again...
What exactly is this person plotting? Wei Yuan felt very strange.
After all, during the previous game of wits with Shen Qingyi, Wei Yuan had clearly sensed that Xu Feng was someone who could manipulate Shen Qingyi at will; otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to swindle so much money from Shen Qingyi despite the latter's strong influence over him.
It was also because of this money that he had leverage to drag things out with Shen Qingyi. Otherwise, given his status as an elder of the Purple Robe Pavilion, it was likely that his skills were exceptional. After such a long time, killing him a hundred times would be more than enough, wouldn't it?
Yet now Xu Feng intends to use this particular situation to attract the people downstairs. He must have some ulterior motives...
Outside the door, Wei Yuan felt that there was no impulse from Shen Qingyi to kill him, so he had no need to show his face. Instead, he watched the two individuals in the room continue their dog-eat-dog struggle.
After rummaging through everything and making a fuss, Shen Qingyi still found nothing. However, Wei Yuan, who was outside the door, noticed the change in Xu Feng's expression while Shen Qingyi was searching, which led him to deduce a clue.
"You're not going to cry until you see the coffin, are you?"
Shen Qingyi spat this out fiercely but saw that Xu Feng's lips still curled in disdain. Frustrated and unable to find any money for a pen, he began to vent his anger on Xu Feng.
Grabbing Xu Feng's hair and forcefully swinging him around, he sent him crashing into the wall.
What kind of strength is this?
Even after undergoing a long process of cleansing by Spiritual Energy, Wei Yuan had to admit that this guy's strength was comparable to his own.
Thus, Wei Yuan found something quite intimidating about Shen Qingyi: his formidable strength suggested that this guy must also possess impressive skills.
This was not just an ordinary one-on-one fight. Even if you couldn't beat someone directly, you could resort to underhanded tactics. The key point was that Shen Qingyi had many disciples from the Purple Robe Pavilion at his disposal. If he truly wanted to teach them his Kung Fu, those individuals would undoubtedly be much stronger overall.
Perhaps this was why Yuan Ziyi was concerned; dealing with Xu Feng would be easy. No matter how clever he was, as long as someone like Wei Yuan caught him off guard without any defenses or sufficient martial power to resist, what would he have left?
Only in stories can people be tricked into death, just like how Lu Xiucai deceived Ji Wuming in Wulin Waizhuan.
"Let's start analyzing from a long-term perspective, beginning with the relationship between humans and the universe. The only question that has been troubling you is: who exactly are you?"
"You are Ji Wuming? Wrong, this is just a code name. You can call me Ji Wuming, I can call you Ji Wuming, we can all call each other Ji Wuming."
"Then after removing this code name, who am I? Where do you come from, and where do you go when you die? Why do I appear in this world? What does my existence mean to this world? Did I choose the world, or did the world choose me?"
"What kind of inevitable connection do I have with the universe? Does the universe have an end? Is there a length of time? Where does past time disappear, and where does the future world stop? Are the questions I raised at this moment still the same as the ones you just heard?"
"Who exactly killed me? And whom did I kill? Did I kill myself? If you answer correctly, then go ahead and commit suicide."
This series of questions sounded like a tongue twister to the listener, making one feel that it was indeed urgent. But in reality, how could there be such easily deceived people?
Similar deceptive scenes can only exist in film and television works, like Huang Rong deceiving Ouyang Feng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," or Stephen Chow's deceptions in "Judge of Death."
However, in fact, such exaggerated methods are merely for show; in the real world, no matter how foolish a person is, they always have their own judgment and common sense.
So those so-called experts or con artists may be able to swindle money from people's pockets, but they don't have the ability to completely fool someone into being stupid.
"Temporarily stop firefighting and let Zhang Sheng's people continue filming. You all stand guard around Xu Feng's house."
At this moment, Wei Yuan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, quickly took out his phone and sent a message to both Flying Eagle and Yuan Ziyi.
His phone was set up to send messages and turn off silently; however, receiving messages would produce sound. To prevent being discovered by Shen Qingyi inside the room, Wei Yuan turned off his phone after sending the messages.
Inside the room, Shen Qingyi, provoked by Xu Feng, was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in a panic but could not find where Xu Feng had hidden the money.
Xu Feng was still so stubborn, not only hiding the location of the money but also primarily provoking Shen Qingyi. In this situation, Shen Qingyi was already overly tense, and with such provocation, her temper flared up immediately...
Grabbing Xu Feng's hair and giving it a hard toss, Wei Yuan heard a loud crash from the room...
It turned out that Xu Feng had been thrown out by Shen Qingyi, crashing into the wall. Such a technique couldn't be achieved solely through brute strength; one must have a point of leverage to exert force...
Just like in wrestling matches, to throw someone down, you at least need to hold onto their waist or limbs to have the power to throw them. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, can you really throw air?
However, Shen Qingyi managed to throw a fully grown person using just a few strands of hair as leverage. Her understanding of strength was clearly very profound.
Wei Yuan even thought that if he were to kick Xu Feng while he was in mid-air, sending him crashing into the wall, would Xu Feng end up embedded in the wall?
With Wei Yuan's current skills, he was confident he could do it, but he felt that even Yang Ying wouldn't be able to achieve such a feat.
Although Yang Ying was not inferior to Wei Yuan in skill, her advantage lay not in strength but in overall coordination. Generally, people couldn't withstand her techniques and would likely be brought down after just a few moves.
Even many of the high-difficulty moves that Wei Yuan performed now were learned from Yang Ying, specifically modified from her soft yoga techniques...
All along, this was something Wei Yuan took pride in: during the process of absorbing Spiritual Energy, the cleansing effect of the energy allowed him to take a shortcut.
His physical indicators and attributes were at a level that would normally require over a decade of hard training for an average person to achieve...
Yet Wei Yuan had reached this level in one leap, relying solely on the cleansing of Spiritual Energy, which had already given him such conditions. Thus, he felt proud in this regard.
After all, even if an ordinary person is willing to dedicate over a decade to relentless training, they must at least have some proper training methods. Simply relying on the kind of exercise we usually do makes it very difficult to achieve such results; otherwise, wouldn't everyone be able to become like Rambo?
"One last chance for you. Tell me where that money is hidden. You can choose a way to die that makes it a bit more comfortable for you to leave this world."
At this point, Shen Qingyi knew that Xu Feng would never believe he would let him go, so there was no need for Shen Qingyi to continue coaxing him.
As Shen Qingyi spoke, his hands had already gripped Xu Feng's neck. Xu Feng was unable to move under the forceful grip of Shen Qingyi's strong arms, and it seemed that Shen Qingyi was truly determined to kill him without caring about the money.
When did this old guy become so decisive?
Xu Feng was somewhat confused. In his understanding of Shen Qingyi's character, he was extremely greedy. Even when faced with imminent danger, he would likely prioritize protecting his wealth and escaping.
Could such a person really be willing to kill him like this, not even wanting those few million? Did he have the guts to do it?
Indeed, Xu Feng was now gambling with his life. Although the outcome might still lead to his death, as someone who feared for his life yet managed to maintain a calm mind even in the face of death, Wei Yuan couldn't help but think he was quite clever.
Xu Feng knew that if he didn't take the gamble, he would surely die. Once a person dies, all wealth becomes meaningless. So no matter how afraid he was, he had to calm himself down and take a risk.
If he won, perhaps he might not escape unscathed, but at least there would be a chance. However, if he chose not to gamble, then the outcome was already predetermined.
"Bah!"
Struggling against the pain of being choked by Shen Qingyi, Xu Feng managed to spit out a bit of saliva towards Shen Qingyi.
Turning slightly to avoid his spit, Shen Qingyi's hand inevitably loosened a bit. At this moment, Xu Feng managed to speak, saying, "If you kill me, you'll never get that money in your lifetime. Can you bear that?"
Never get it in your lifetime. Can you bear that?
For some reason, Xu Feng's words kept echoing in Shen Qingyi's mind. That was several million; could he really just watch it turn to nothing?
But if he didn't kill him and let him live until tomorrow, he would definitely testify against him. By then, no matter how much money there was, one would need a life to spend it, right?
At this moment, Shen Qingyi found himself in a very contradictory state. Just as Xu Feng had guessed, this person's heart was not particularly strong; it was just that his skills were too formidable.
In fact, Shen Qingyi was a martial arts fanatic and an ambitious person. He was unwilling to be second in Kung Fu, so within the Purple Robe Pavilion, he single-handedly mastered all the Kung Fu of the sect. Therefore, even with Yang Ying present, he might not necessarily be his match.
However, this person was not merely a martial arts fanatic; he also had a very strong desire for power. This was why he led the disciples of the Purple Robe Pavilion away during the conflict between Yang Ying's master and Yuan Ziyi's father, who were both former Purple Robe Marquises.
Of course, his purpose was not like Feng Qingyang from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer who grew weary of sect disputes; on the contrary, he was very eager to see sect conflicts. It was precisely this sect struggle that allowed him to establish his own influence within the Purple Robe Pavilion...
Originally, Shen Qingyi planned to take advantage of the fierce conflict between the two tigers and seize real power within the Purple Robe Pavilion.
However, it was clear that his thinking had fallen behind the times. The so-called internal strife within a sect that seemed only to exist in martial arts stories—fighting for leadership—was no longer something people were willing to enact.
Soon enough, Yang Ying's master voluntarily admitted defeat shortly after the conflict began and ceded the position of Purple Robe Marquis to Yuan Ziyi's father.
Overall, Yuan Ziyi's father's rise to the position of Purple Robe Marquis was essentially bloodless. As a result, neither side's influence was weakened; rather, due to Yang Ying's master's withdrawal, Yuan Ziyi and her father's power grew even stronger...
At this moment, relying on the conventions of martial arts, the position of the Purple Robe Marquis was secured, and it was naturally time to clean up the sect. Originally, Shen Qingyi, who had betrayed him, should have faced retribution from Yuan Ziyi's father.
However, everything was completely contrary to the script that Shen Qingyi had written for himself. After Yuan Ziyi and her father gained real power over the Purple Robe Pavilion, they had no intention of staying at the mountain gate any longer.
On the contrary, under Yuan Ziyi's leadership, she and her father took their disciples and the resources belonging to the Purple Robe Pavilion and left.
Indeed, under Yuan Ziyi's control and guidance, these disciples gradually established a pharmaceutical kingdom belonging to the Purple Robe Pavilion, and Yuan Ziyi successfully modernized the Purple Robe Pavilion.
Overall, Shen Qingyi actually had quite a few weaknesses. He was arrogant, vain, greedy, and at the same time, he was an ambitious person without much intelligence.
Of course, a situation like his could be more accurately described as that of a delusional dreamer because, to put it bluntly, his intelligence wasn't too low, but he just couldn't keep up with the times; in simpler terms, he lacked common sense.
However, this did not mean he was completely foolish. At least his thinking was relatively clear, although he tended to go crazy when provoked.
One undeniable point was that after going mad, he became even more difficult to deal with; his skills were truly formidable.
Even Wei Yuan, who had undergone Spiritual Energy cleansing, experienced Yang Ying's soft yoga training, and various medicinal baths, had to admit that he wasn't entirely confident in defeating Shen Qingyi.
Thus, if one wanted to deal with Shen Qingyi, they had to take him down in one fell swoop while also ensuring they could capture him. Otherwise, this person—capable of scaling walls and potentially killing invisibly—was indeed a source of great concern.
Therefore, Wei Yuan realized why Yuan Ziyi would absolutely refrain from provoking Shen Qingyi unless she was completely certain of victory. If this individual could not be fully defeated, one would have to guard against his retaliation day and night.
Or rather, guard against his assassination attempts. A true martial arts master was indeed not to be underestimated.
Furthermore, in reality, Yuan Ziyi and Shen Qingyi do not have any deep-seated grudges against each other. They simply disapprove of him exploiting the disciples of Purple Robe Pavilion for his own profit, even using addictive substances like Powdered Cherry Blossom to harm others.
However, disapproval is one thing; after all, people are not Ultraman who can just fly up and fight any monster they dislike. Especially since Yuan Ziyi has many people relying on her for their livelihoods, she cannot recklessly offend others with her disciples.
Wei Yuan is also quite conflicted. Logically speaking, he has even less of a grudge against Shen Qingyi than Yuan Ziyi does. He is not particularly fixated on dealing with Shen Qingyi. Although he also disapproves of Shen Qingyi's actions, under the current circumstances, Wei Yuan's primary target remains Xu Feng.
Only when facing Xu Feng can Wei Yuan truly speak of a blood feud that must be avenged.
If it weren't for the fact that he was pinning all hopes of promoting Phoenix Pharmaceuticals on the matter involving Xu Feng, essentially using the confrontation with Xu Feng to shape Phoenix Pharmaceuticals into a conscientious enterprise, things would be different.
In this day and age, such claims are easy to make. For consumers and employees alike, which boss or company dares to confidently claim they are guilt-free?
Therefore, under this premise, elevating Phoenix Pharmaceuticals' position further would be more beneficial for the company's future development.
In summary, for now, Wei Yuan cannot allow Xu Feng to die because he needs to use Xu Feng's life to connect the entire promotional process.
Simply put, as long as Xu Feng is alive, public interest in this matter will not wane. At that time, the reputation of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals will also gain more recognition as more people become aware of it.
