Chapter 745 - 745: A Real Problem Discovered

Zheng Wei stood firm and dispensed with the pleasantries, getting straight to the point, "Are you ready?"

Xiao Feng nodded, extending his right hand, palm up, bending his four fingers twice in a gesture that said, "Bring it on."

Almost simultaneously with his nod, Zheng Wei launched a rapid strike, an arrow step bringing him right in front of Xiao Feng, his body slightly tilted as he raised his leg to initiate an attack.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Five dull thuds rang out in less than two seconds.

Xiao Feng glanced at his slightly numb arm, then at Zheng Wei, concluding it was as he expected—this guy was skilled in leg techniques.

However, even so, it still wasn't enough to make him take it seriously.

"Your leg work is decent, did you learn it from your master's wife?" Xiao Feng taunted with a smile.

Zheng Wei didn't respond, and after a brief respite, he attacked again.

He stepped with his left foot on his right and pushed hard, sending himself into a flip, landing behind Xiao Feng.

Like a madman, he unleashed a flurry of strikes into the air before him.

At the same moment, Xiao Feng's expression changed; he sensed the wind howling behind him, yet felt no substantial impact.

He dashed forward a short distance, and looking back, saw Zheng Wei's foot coming straight at him.

"Scram!"

Xiao Feng roared, dodging the kick while smashing a punch into Zheng Wei's chest.

"Ugh!"

Zheng Wei grunted, his face flushing as he staggered back several steps, unable to stop a mouthful of blood from spilling out.

"Fists fear the young and strong, this saying is indeed true. I concede, I surrender!" Zheng Wei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clasping his hands in a gesture of submission.

"..." Xiao Feng.

Just like that?

I haven't even displayed the unique skill of 'The World's No. 1 Floating Skill', and you're already surrendering?

For a moment, Xiao Feng felt unsatisfied in his heart!

But in reality, even if the fight continued, he still wouldn't have revealed his Thunder Pattern Steel.

The reason is simple.

Something as valuable as Thunder Pattern Steel is undoubtedly a trump card.

And a trump card is best used as little as possible, and known by as few people as possible.

It's like playing poker; you wouldn't lead with four twos and two jokers as soon as the game starts.

A trump card only shows its maximum power when used at the right time.

...

Leaving the Bai Family, Xiao Feng reviewed the conversation with Bai Huanyu.

He figured there was an eighty percent chance Yu Xiuzhi had indeed deceived them and evaded the Bai Family's surveillance.

Whether she was alive or dead remained unknown.

However, most of Xiao Feng's thoughts were no longer on this matter.

He was pondering why Zheng Wei admitted defeat in such an unreasonable manner.

The reason it seemed unreasonable was that this way of surrender felt like it was done just for the sake of surrendering.

"What is the purpose of doing this?" Xiao Feng muttered to himself.

At first, he thought Zheng Wei wanted to test his strength level.

But conceding after less than two rounds, what could he possibly test?

Could it be that Zheng Wei was actually incompetent?

Or perhaps he had made significant improvements recently and was now too strong?

No, no!

Shaking his head, Xiao Feng forcibly dismissed this notion.

Better safe than sorry, so as a precaution, Xiao Feng decided to visit Sun Shijie.

He hailed a taxi back to Jinyue Garden.

Mostly because every time he drove, something went wrong, making Xiao Feng feel vexed.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Feng chose not to drive this time.

Arriving at Zhao Guo'an's villa next door, Xiao Feng walked straight over and placed his left hand in front of Sun Shijie.

"What do you mean?" Sun Shijie was taken aback.

Xiao Feng said earnestly, "Check my pulse, I suspect I've been poisoned, or someone has done something to me."

Sun Shijie frowned, seeing that Xiao Feng didn't seem to be joking, he nodded and placed his hand skillfully on Xiao Feng's wrist.

After a long while, Sun Shijie removed his hand and said, "Your pulse is normal, there's nothing wrong with you."

"Impossible!" Xiao Feng insisted, "Check again thoroughly."

"..." Sun Shijie.

He thought Xiao Feng might be suffering from paranoia.

He had encountered such people before; simply put, these people always suspected they had health issues. Even when he clearly told them there was nothing wrong, they still wouldn't believe it.

Whenever facing such individuals, Sun Shijie always felt like cursing, 'If you don't trust me, why come to me at all?'

'Would it make you happy if I said you were sick?'

Seeing Xiao Feng's determined attitude, Sun Shijie had no choice but to reluctantly place his fingers back, but he was clearly absent-minded, perfunctorily stating, "Everything is normal. Based on your pulse, there's nothing wrong.

If you're truly worried, go to a hospital for a comprehensive check-up."

"Do it one more time, there's no way there's absolutely no abnormality," Xiao Feng persisted.

"..." Sun Shijie.

He was genuinely speechless.

If there's an abnormality, there is; if not, there isn't. Could it be that an originally nonexistent abnormality would appear just by checking the pulse?

"Alright, this is the last time," Sun Shijie stated beforehand.

Xiao Feng nodded, "Put some effort into it, don't just brush it off like it's nothing. It's not like I'm paying you."

"Money shouldn't be an issue between us..."

Sun Shijie began but couldn't continue.

Because he suddenly realized Xiao Feng said, "It's not like I'm paying you," instead of "It's not like I'm not paying you".

The difference of two words conveyed entirely opposite meanings.

The third time as he placed his hand, Sun Shijie was evidently more serious than the previous two times, at least from his expression and demeanor, it seemed so.

Five minutes later, Sun Shijie exhaled a sigh and said, "I've been very diligent, but truly there's nothing... hmm?"

Suddenly, his brow knitted tightly as if he had discovered something.

"Wait a moment." Sun Shijie left a quick remark, quickly running into his room on the first floor.

When he came out, he had two items in his hands.

One hand held a needle pouch, the other, a bottle of strong liquor.

From the needle pouch, he took out two Silver Needles, inserting them into Xiao Feng's head, then handed the liquor over, "Drink."

Xiao Feng, utterly puzzled, nevertheless accepted the bottle, opened it, and gulped down half the liquor.

Not long after, Xiao Feng felt his body starting to heat up, his heart rate also slightly increasing.

Sun Shijie spoke, "Don't be nervous, it's just to speed up your blood circulation."

With that, he placed his fingers on Xiao Feng's pulse once more, his expression becoming gravely serious.

"Take off your clothes," Sun Shijie commanded in a solemn tone.

"Strip?" Xiao Feng almost laughed, "Don't you think this request is a bit excessive?"

Sun Shijie removed the Silver Needles from Xiao Feng's head, his face serious, "I'm not joking, I really found something this time."

Xiao Feng considered for a moment and said no more, immediately beginning to remove his jacket, stripping down to his bare torso.

Sun Shijie observed closely, his scrutiny making Xiao Feng feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, when Sun Shijie came to Xiao Feng's back, he gasped sharply, "Hiss..."
