Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Feng Laiyi's hand trembled, and some of the wine in the glass spilled out.

He put down his wine glass, took out a clean handkerchief, and carefully wiped the wine off his hands.

Feng Laiyi: "Thank you for your reminder, sir. If I survive, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future."

It seems this person is aware of his fate and knows what his tribulations are.

Then look at Grandpa Sun.

His facial features suggest that he still faces imprisonment, but it won't last long. It remains to be seen whether things will turn around afterward.

Liu Dong then stopped talking, smiled and picked up a piece of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and put it in his mouth.

It tastes really good.

Feng Laiyi had calmed down and was talking to Grandpa Sun with a smile.

The two seem to have little relationship, but in fact, including this time, they have only met five times.

As for Feng Laiyi being cared for by Grandpa Sun when she was young...

Old Master Sun only sent twenty silver dollars to Feng Laiyi, and then ignored her completely.

Feng Laiyi later left with the troupe leader to make a living, and Old Master Sun never intervened to stop her.

After all, being a performer in operas was not a high social status in those days; it was considered one of the lowest classes.

Despite the popularity of famous actors, in the eyes of the wealthy, they are nothing more than objects to be trifled with at will.

Three days later was the day of Old Master Sun's birthday, and people of status and position in the city came to the Sun family to celebrate his birthday.

The highest-ranking among them was the local warlord, Commander Li.

This Commander Li was in his fifties, but he was good-looking and in good shape, looking like he was only in his early forties. This made him a favorite among many people who wanted to curry favor with the powerful.

However, Commander Li had very high standards, and all of his concubines were beautiful women with high looks.

Moreover, these beauties all look somewhat alike.

It is said that before Marshal Li became successful, he had a first love who was like a white moonlight. At that time, Marshal Li was a poor boy, and his white moonlight was a rich girl.

Bai Yueguang's family looked down on Commander Li and forced them to separate, marrying Bai Yueguang off to a very powerful official.

The white moonlight, longing for her lover, was depressed and soon died in childbirth.

Commander Li joined the army, and after the fall of the previous dynasty, he seized military power and became a warlord.

General Li was very "infatuated" and could not forget the moonlight.

Apart from his legal wife, whom he married because of her family's money, the other seven concubines were all substitutes he found.

If someone bears even two or three resemblance to Bai Yueguang, or if any feature of their face is similar to Bai Yueguang's, Commander Li will snatch them back to his mansion.

Because of his power, the women's families dared not stand up for them.

Marshal Li treated all the women well. Even if he forgot about the old ones after taking on new ones, he would not mistreat the old ones. He made sure they were well-fed and clothed and enjoyed the life of a wealthy wife.

Therefore, many women actively sought to get close to Marshal Li.

It is said that Marshal Li's eighth concubine was an actress who seduced him with her eyes during her performances on stage. She actually fell for him and rose from a lowly actress to become a concubine in the Marshal's mansion. Relying on Marshal Li's favor, she took revenge on the young lady who had bullied her in the past.

Grandpa Sun personally received Commander Li and ushered him to the head seat.

Their seats faced the stage that had been set up, where a lively performance of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace was currently underway.

Many people enjoy watching lively plays, but those who truly understand plays do not appreciate such commotion.

Seeing that Commander Li was frowning, Old Master Sun instructed the steward, "Please invite Boss Feng to the stage."

The steward went to deliver a message, and soon after, the rhythm of the drums and music below changed.

The actors all stepped down, and a beautiful woman dressed as Magu walked onto the stage.

The beauty's eyes were like autumn water, captivating and mesmerizing. Many gasped, then applauded and cheered.

General Li was also captivated by the beauty on the stage, watching her performance without blinking.

"Who is this person?" Commander Li asked Old Master Sun as soon as the beauty stepped off the stage.

Old Master Sun cursed the two men as "lecherous devils" in his heart, and said, "This is Boss Feng Laiyi, he is a man."

General Li chuckled: "Beauty doesn't discriminate between men and women, so I can have a male concubine too."

Grandpa Sun hurriedly said, "General, although Boss Feng is an opera singer, he has a wide network of connections and many high-status opera fans. By doing this, you will create a lot of enemies for yourself."

Commander Li: "I fear neither heaven nor earth. Anyone who dares to cause me trouble, I will kill him."

Grandpa Sun cursed Commander Li in his heart as a brute, but he still tried to persuade him aloud.

General Li wasn't afraid of the people behind Feng Laiyi, but he was afraid.

The Sun family has always maintained good relations with others and doesn't want to offend anyone or bring trouble upon themselves.

General Li pulled out his pistol from his waist, pointed it at Old Master Sun's head, and laughed, "Old Master, you don't want a happy occasion to turn into a tragedy, do you?"

Grandpa Sun stopped talking; he didn't want the "imprisonment" that Liu Tong had predicted for him to come true.

He's getting old and can't withstand that kind of ordeal.

No one stopped him, and General Li swaggered into the room that the Sun family had specially provided for Feng Laiyi to do her makeup.

At this moment, Feng Laiyi had washed off the makeup on his face, revealing his true appearance.

When he saw that face, Commander Li was stunned.

"Like! So similar!"

She bears at least 80% resemblance to his beloved.

Without hesitation, Commander Li immediately stepped forward, snatched the Phoenix Embroidery, and left.

The guests witnessed this scene, but no one dared to step forward and stop it.

Qin Yi wanted to step forward. He wasn't afraid of Commander Li, after all, his elder brother also controlled the army and was directly under the central government's jurisdiction.

Liu stopped him and whispered, "That's a grudge between those two people; let them settle it themselves."

Qin Yi: "Feng Laiyi actually knows martial arts, right?"

Liu Tong: "You figured it out?"

Qin Yi: "Hmm, his breathing is deep and even, so he must have practiced internal energy cultivation."

Martial arts have declined, and there are very few people who know internal energy cultivation now.

Of the entire Qin family, only Qin Yicai had mastered internal energy cultivation.

The other members of the Qin family all practiced external martial arts.

With the support of internal energy, combat power will increase by several levels.

Liu Tong: "Feng Laiyi's martial arts skills are not weak. She deliberately approached Commander Li. I gave her a hint before, so I think she already has a way out."

Qin Yi: "Feng Laiyi has always lived in Beiping, how could she have become enemies with Marshal Li?"

Liu Tong: "Have you forgotten? Feng Laiyi lived here when she was a child. She left with the opera troupe leader after her family was destroyed."

Qin Yi: "I really don't know him."

Liu Tong: "I looked at Feng Laiyi's face again before, and it turned out he was alright. It's just that we probably won't be able to hear him perform again in the future."

Meanwhile, Feng Laiyi was seized by Commander Li and taken to the Li residence.

Commander Li was not a lustful man; after locking the man in a room, he went to attend to official business. (End of Chapter)
