Chapter 620 Leng Ying's Past
Night, Lin Fei's villa.
In the living room, only Lin Fei is sitting on the sofa, sipping red wine.
At this moment, Leng Ying walks into the living room.
"Lin Fei, the people from the five major families—Qin, Yuan, Xiao, Li, and Xie—have all been moved to a safe place," Leng Ying reported to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded.
Although Yue Ling, the leader of Hidden Kill, was dead, and among the three hall masters, one was dead, one injured, and one fled, over a hundred Hidden Kill experts suffered heavy casualties and were all imprisoned.
But the truly terrifying presence behind Yue Ling is his father, the Sect Leader of Hidden Kill, Yue Chong.
Planning ahead, Lin Fei naturally could not let the five patriarchs fall into the hands of Hidden Kill again.
Therefore, Lin Fei asked Leng Ying to contact the Cloud Pavilion to arrange their secret relocation and protection of the five major families.
The five major families are already immensely wealthy in Huadu City, and with numerous secret villa properties, it's not difficult for them to remain hidden.
Along with the protection from the Cloud Pavilion, they can avoid the deadly hands of Hidden Kill.
Leng Ying continued, "However, considering the safety of Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, Xiao Xiao, Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, Li Qing, Xie Wenbo, and Xie Yiting for their schooling, after discussion among the five patriarchs and our Cloud Pavilion elders, it was decided to transfer them to Jiangnan University in Jiangnan City first.
Once things are calm in Huadu City, they can return to Huadu University."
Jiangnan City is the largest city in Huaxia, situated in Jiangnan, a bustling hub, and it is a certain distance away from South Huaxia.
Lin Fei nodded, "Okay, that's good. Huadu City is not peaceful now, they can come back once everything is calm."
Then, he took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check for one hundred million, tore it off, and handed it to Leng Ying, saying, "This is the fee for the Cloud Pavilion's protection of the five major families."
However, Leng Ying did not take it and said, "Lin Fei, the elder of the Cloud Pavilion said he wouldn't accept your money, but there is a condition: they hope you will join the Cloud Pavilion."
Lin Fei frowned slightly and said, "What obligations are required to join the Cloud Pavilion?"
"The elder of the Cloud Pavilion said that as a disciple of Medical Saint Lin, with your superb medical skills, if you are willing to treat the important figures of the Cloud Pavilion in the future, then they are willing to protect the five major families for free and provide you with all information." Leng Ying said, looking at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei was a little surprised, but then relieved, due to Cloud Pavilion's strong intelligence capabilities, they must have already known about him treating the old secretary and curing numerous critical patients in the hospital.
And the important figures in the Cloud Pavilion, naturally, would have times when they are severely ill, if having someone like Lin Fei to cure them, they essentially have a life-saving charm.
The Cloud Pavilion could provide Lin Fei with all the information he wanted, which was what Lin Fei most needed at the moment.
This deal is indeed very favorable to Lin Fei.
Moreover, compared to Hidden Kill, the Cloud Pavilion adheres more to the justice of the Jianghu, unlike Hidden Kill which would do anything for money.
"Alright, Leng Ying, tell the elder of the Cloud Pavilion that I agree to his conditions, to join the Cloud Pavilion, and I am willing to treat the important figures of the Cloud Pavilion in the future." Lin Fei said to Leng Ying.
Leng Ying showed a hint of happiness on his face and said, "Good, I will inform the elder of the Cloud Pavilion."
Lin Fei looked at Leng Ying and asked, "By the way, Leng Ying, what is your status in the Cloud Pavilion?"
Leng Ying said, "Over ten years ago, I was an assassin of the Cloud Pavilion, but since the woman I loved disappeared during a mission in the Middle East, I also went there to find her.
The news I got was that she had died at the hands of a Middle Eastern warlord. That's why I became a bloody mercenary, participated in wars between warlords, and eventually killed that warlord."
Lin Fei didn't expect that Leng Ying had such a sorrowful past.
He asked Leng Ying, "Did you find her?"
Leng Ying's eyes revealed sad sorrow, shaking his head, "I found her when that brutal and cold-blooded warlord burned her together with a dozen Middle Eastern women. Because the bodies were all burned, I couldn't even identify which body was hers. In the end, I buried them all."
"After returning to Huaxia, I was deeply shocked and depressed, so I was no longer allowed to perform tasks for the Cloud Pavilion, until later I killed several black-market bosses in Shencheng, and was arrested by the military and sent to Demon Island."
Lin Fei knows that with Leng Ying's strength, if he hadn't been completely devastated, the military might not have been able to capture him.
And his going to Demon Island seemed more like choosing a place isolated from the world to escape and heal his psychological wounds.
Lin Fei looked at Leng Ying and said, "Why did you decide to leave with me later?"
Leng Ying said, "First, I lost to you in that battle on Demon Island, so I should keep my word and become your follower.
Second, I stayed on Demon Island for five years, and I didn't want to remain depressed anymore. Your appearance made me want to start a new life following you."
Lin Fei placed his hand on Leng Ying's shoulder, saying, "Leng Ying, you will have a new beginning."
However, Lin Fei had a feeling that the woman Leng Ying loved may not necessarily be dead; she could still be alive.
Because Leng Ying said she died with a dozen women but didn't identify which body was her.
This might mean the woman he loved wasn't among them; after all, the warlord's words couldn't be fully trusted.
Of course, Lin Fei did not voice these thoughts.
After all, it was only his speculation; if he shared it with Leng Ying, and that woman turned out to be truly dead, it would only lead to added pain for Leng Ying.
Leng Ying could feel the encouragement and sincerity in Lin Fei's eyes, and he nodded.
"Lin Fei, the Cloud Pavilion got news, the Sect Leader of Hidden Kill, Yue Chong, has learned that Yue Ling was killed and is already rushing back to Huadu City. I fear Hidden Kill will soon take revenge on you." Leng Ying immediately informed Lin Fei of the latest information gathered by the Cloud Pavilion.
Lin Fei remained calm, saying, "Let them come! Only by uprooting Hidden Kill's power in South Huaxia can we resolve the crisis faced by the five major families and make Hidden Kill exercise restraint."
Leng Ying nodded, "Lin Fei, you are now a member of the Cloud Pavilion, and as long as you are in danger, the Cloud Pavilion will never stand by idly."
Lin Fei raised his hand to stop Leng Ying, saying, "No, Leng Ying, just have the Cloud Pavilion people protect the five major families. As for my enmity with Hidden Kill, I'll settle it myself."
Leng Ying knew Lin Fei's strength and his fearlessness against enemies, so he could only nod and agree.
However, he knew the Sect Leader of Hidden Kill, Yue Chong, was a formidable figure rumored to have the strength of the Martial King.
Leng Ying was still somewhat worried.
"Lin Fei, I'll go meet the elder of the Cloud Pavilion first." Leng Ying bid farewell to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded, "You head back to the Cloud Pavilion, and both you and the Cloud Pavilion should not intervene. Protect the five major families in secret."
"Yes, Lin Fei." Leng Ying had to agree.
After Leng Ying left, Lin Fei continued drinking his red wine alone.
The villa was so quiet at night.
But Lin Fei knew that the calm here and in Huadu City would soon be shattered by an impending storm.
