Chapter 2964 - 2965: Breaking Through the Barrier

Chapter 2964: Chapter 2965: Breaking Through the Barrier

Yang Fu was wearing a single shirt, his chest exposed, with a white towel hanging around his neck. He worked in the tea fields like an old farmer.

Wei Qingfeng stood at the edge of the field, not daring to speak.

Because he knew that President Yang Fu disliked being interrupted for any reason while working in the fields.

In his own words, tea cultivation was an exquisite and wonderful activity, and if tainted by mundane matters, the tea’s flavor would change.

Therefore, no matter how important the matter, it must not be mentioned inside this greenhouse.

Wei Qingfeng naturally did not dare to break this rule, so he could only stand obediently at the edge, watching Yang Fu sweating in the tea fields.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Yang Fu finally seemed to have had his fill. He looked up to the sky and exhaled, then wiped the sweat off his body with the towel as he walked out.

Wei Qingfeng quickly went to greet him, carrying a large teapot in his hand.

Yang Fu took the teapot and guzzled from it.

After emptying the large pot of tea, Yang Fu let out a satisfied burp and sighed, "Refreshing!"

It felt like someone who had been asleep for days finally stretched their muscles, experiencing an indescribable relief.

Wei Qingfeng naturally responded meekly, not daring to defy in the slightest.

"Speak, what’s the matter?" Yang Fu said while taking off his single shirt and heading out of the greenhouse.

Wei Qingfeng dared not conceal anything; he knew it wouldn’t be useful anyway.

The president, though seemingly gentle and mild-mannered, had a strong grip on things, and might have already known what he had done!

So Wei Qingfeng narrated the whole story in detail.

After listening, Yang Fu’s face showed no clear emotions, just casually saying, "Alright, I know. You can go now!"

"Yes!"

Although Wei Qingfeng wanted to say more, seeing Yang Fu’s demeanor, he wisely retreated without further words.

After Wei Qingfeng left, Yang Fu changed clothes and went directly to his sister’s area.

"President!"

"Greetings, President!"

Yang Fu’s face was solemn as he headed straight to the secret chamber door.

Being Yang Mufeng’s elder brother, he understood his sister’s character very well.

His sister was naturally competitive, and after suddenly losing to an outsider, she would certainly feel dissatisfied. Therefore, she would return and definitely retreat into the secret chamber to seclude herself.

Indeed.

There were guards at the secret chamber door.

"Is Mufeng inside?" Yang Fu asked in a deep voice.

The guards at the door exchanged glances, then nodded simultaneously.

"Alright, open the door!"

One of the guards hesitated, trying to say something, but got pulled away by another guard.

"Yes, yes, we’ll open it immediately!"

Once the door lock was opened, Yang Fu stepped inside.

It wasn’t until he disappeared behind the door that the guards let out a sigh of relief.

Then, the guard who was quick to act spoke to the one who had wanted to object, "I know you’re a bit dissatisfied, but don’t forget this is the Firearms Society, he’s our president!"

"Even though Miss Yan says no one is allowed in, the president is not included in that restriction. The only thing we underlings can do is obey orders, understand?"

The guard nodded somewhat bewilderedly, feeling his worldview had been refreshed.

Leaving behind these minor figures, Yang Fu, the president of the Firearms Society, upon entering the secret chamber, first saw his sister Yang Mufeng sitting on a mat, focusing her energy on a Metal Cube. He walked over.

"What’s wrong?"

Yang Mufeng was not surprised at her brother’s arrival, knowing her orders couldn’t block him.

Without turning her head, she said, "This is a puzzle that Xue An set for me, and I’m stuck!"

Yang Fu’s face showed a look of amazement, "Could there actually be a Mechanical Cube that puzzles you?"

"This one’s different, it contains many novel ideas, vaguely hinting at ancient Alchemy traces!"

"Is this Xue An really that strong?"

Yang Mufeng nodded, "Yes, very strong. But this guy’s slippery; no matter how I provoke him, he refuses to engage, so I can’t discern his origins!"

Honestly, this was the first time Yang Fu heard his sister praising someone strong, causing his heart to stir.

"So, do you think you can solve it?"

Yang Mufeng said confidently, "Of course I can! And it won’t take long, at most three days, I’ll crack it! Then I’ll visit that guy to settle accounts!"

"Great! Three days later then!"

Yang Fu left.

Three days later, he returned to the secret chamber.

A lot happened during those three days, like Wei Qingfeng’s resignation due to his mistakes, causing an uproar within the Firearms Society.

But in front of Yang Fu’s supreme authority, this supposed tumult was like a leaf falling into a pond, barely stirring ripples before spiraling down.

"How is it? Solved it?" Yang Fu asked.

By now, Yang Mufeng looked somewhat pale, but her eyes shone fiercely, as she murmured.

"Almost, almost, just one tiny clue left, then I can break this cube!"

Seeing his sister lost and seemingly bewitched, Yang Fu shook his head and left once more.

Another three days passed.

"This time?"

But this time Yang Mufeng couldn’t even respond.

She sat trance-like on the mat, her forehead covered in cold sweat from overthinking.

"It shouldn’t be, I’ve solved all the puzzles, why hasn’t the cube been completely solved? Where did it go wrong?"

Yang Fu’s eyes showed concern, but he knew that no amount of persuasion could make his sister stop at this moment.

The only thing he could do was avoid disturbing her, allowing her to be until she completely solved it, and thus freed herself from this mental cage.

Three days after three days, oh how many such days have passed.

A full five sets of three days later, before Yang Fu could visit the secret chamber, a disheveled Yang Mufeng emerged, laughing heartily.

"I finally understand, that damned Xue An is really crafty. He set up such an intricate trap, but I didn’t notice it at first, otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken so long to realize. Damn it! He truly is a genius!"

Yang Mufeng mumbled potentially incomprehensible words. Her figure had become severely thin due to her period of seclusion and deep thinking, but it did not diminish her joy.

When Yang Fu arrived, her excitement grew even more.

"Brother, I’ve found the solution, look!"

Yang Mufeng opened her hand, revealing the fully solved Metal Cube.

Yang Fu nodded, "You’ve worked hard!"

"What’s hard about it? Now, I’m going to find Xue An to settle accounts!"

"Don’t go!"

"Hmm? What’s wrong?"

Yang Mufeng halted, looking puzzled at Yang Fu.
