"All right then, Second Sister-in-law, I will let you get on with it. Just pretend I never said anything." Feng Tianhu spoke with a smile.
"I will be going, then." Having said that, Dongfang Xiaocui turned and walked away.
Feng Tianhu, for his part, sank back into brooding. There are many people like him, who never learn and forget the pain as soon as the wound heals; no sooner had he learned that there was nothing to worry about than his mind began to stir again.
Of course, he did not mean to move against Wei Zhao—he lacked the nerve for that. The man he wanted to take down was still Feng Tianqi; he wanted to seize the position of the Feng family's young heir. Feng Tianhu was deeply stifled these days: when he addressed the Tomorrow-After-Tomorrow Sect, they paid him no heed at all, plainly judging his status and standing beneath their notice.
"Someone come!" Back in his room, Feng Tianhu called out in a low voice.
"Boss!" A man in black abruptly appeared in Feng Tianhu's chamber. Over the years Feng Tianhu had raised a number of men, his hidden force, never exposed and never lightly deployed; ordinarily these men gathered intelligence for him.
"That matter I had you investigate—how does it stand?" Feng Tianhu glanced at the man in black and asked. "Have you found that woman of Feng Tianqi's from before?"
"To answer you, boss, we have some leads now, but where exactly she is remains unclear," the man in black said. "According to our investigation, the last place that woman appeared was Songshan City, after which she vanished without a trace. We cannot rule out that she left in secret, but our people are already quietly looking into women who appeared alone in Songshan City in those years."
"Oh? Songshan City?" Feng Tianhu knitted his brows slightly. To be honest, the two cities he was most wary of right now were Donghai City and Songshan City, for those were Wei Zhao's strongholds. Unless it was necessary, he did not wish his people to set foot in those two cities again and have any dealings with Wei Zhao. But now it seemed he would have to send them into those two cities to investigate once more, so he instructed: "You have done well. But mark this: when you investigate, you must avoid a man named Wei Zhao at all costs. Do not come into conflict with him."
"I understand, boss!" The man in black nodded. "Word has already spread through the上古 circles that Wei Zhao can kill two peak late-stage Heaven-rank experts at once. Naturally we will not pick a fight with the likes of him."
"I have always been at ease with how you handle matters. Go. If you get definite news, tell me at once," Feng Tianhu said.
"Yes, sir!" The man in black cupped his fists and vanished. Feng Tianhu then sank into thought: he was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to bring down both Feng Tianqi and Feng Nitian. But for now, plainly because of Wei Zhao, those two would be riding high, and so Feng Tianhu chose to bide his time.

Xiaotaohong had a good impression of Kang Xiaofeng, perhaps because of Tianchan's earlier warning. She had paid him particular attention—and once a woman gives a man particular attention, and that man happens to be outstanding, the odds are very great that she will fall in love with him. This was especially so for a woman like Xiaotaohong, fresh from a wound in love and eager to escape its shadow.
Of course, Xiaotaohong's professional ability was also formidable, and Kang Xiaofeng relied on her heavily, letting her take part in some of the company's core business. Thus it was that Xiaotaohong truly discovered that Guandaifu Pharmaceuticals had no connection whatsoever with the crafting of the medicinal cauldron.
There was no material here about the cauldron at all, nor any record related to its production. It was certain that the cauldron had not been manufactured here.
