Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"What's wrong with Jiang Fei?" Chu Yuan first contacted Chen Yun and asked directly;

On the other end of the terminal, Chen Yun said urgently, "I don't know the specifics either, but... the captain said he defected!"

How could Fei Ge possibly defect?! There must be more to this than meets the eye!

Chu Yuan was shocked. Defection was no small crime... What exactly did Jiang Fei do?

"What can I do?"

"Chu Yuan, you are the holder of the Zhenwu Token. Please contact our captain and find out what exactly happened!"

"Okay." Chu Yuan agreed without hesitation. He hadn't known Jiang Fei for long, but in his opinion, Jiang Fei didn't seem like the kind of person who would defect.

Then Chen Yun sent over a number, and just as Chu Yuan was about to dial it, Qi Da's communication came through;

"Chu Yuan, there's something wrong with the cultivation technique."

I'd only had a few days of peace and quiet, and now all these troubles have piled up at once...

Chu Yuan inwardly complained, but replied aloud, "Principal, I saw your message. What could possibly go wrong with the cultivation technique?"

Qi Da said in a deep voice: "The people in charge of transporting the cultivation techniques this time are members of the Chenyang City Martial Arts Bureau."

But... he disappeared with the cultivation technique!

The Zhenwu Bureau has initiated the pursuit procedure. The martial arts manual will be brought back, and the person... will be executed on the spot!

But you should still be mentally prepared.

"..." Chu Yuan was silent for a moment before asking, "Was that martial artist from the Zhenwu Bureau named Jiang Fei?"

Zidane was surprised: "You already knew?"

"..."

The two things turned out to be one thing... Jiang Fei ran away with his martial arts manual?

Although the Zhenwu Bureau had already determined the nature of the crime, Chu Yuan still felt that Jiang Fei was incapable of doing such a thing.

Given Jiang Fei's age and cultivation level, it's impossible to say he has no background whatsoever.

He didn't urgently need the cultivation technique;

Although the Martial God Talisman is powerful, it would be a huge loss if it came at the cost of being hunted down by the Zhenwu Bureau!

But I really need to do something;

After all, he was the victim and the holder of the Zhenwu Token.

Getting involved will give you more room to maneuver!

Chu Yuan did not rush to contact the captain of the Chenyang Town Martial Arts Bureau, but went home first.

At the dinner table, Han Cui didn't ask him anything; everything was as usual.

Chu Ying secretly cast a smug glance at him, as if to say, "See, I didn't say anything..."

Chu Yuan wasn't in the mood to talk to her right now, and said, "Mom, I won't be home for the next few days."

"What's wrong?"

"Jiang Fei... he's run into some trouble, I need to go help him."

Han Cui paused with her chopsticks, then smiled and said, "Jiang Fei is a leader in the Zhenwu Bureau, what help could you possibly offer?"

"I can help."

Seeing that Chu Yuan looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, Han Cui's smile slowly faded: "...Alright, then go ahead, be careful."

My son is also a skilled martial artist;

What kind of help can martial artists offer each other? Especially since the son is just a student with no other status...

It's nothing more than fighting!

Although Han Cui was worried, she did not stop it, understanding that this was the fate of martial artists.

Furthermore, Jiang Fei had once saved her and Chu Ying...

Chu Yuan nodded, noticing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, and then smiled and said, "Oh right, Mom, there's something I forgot to tell you."

I've been admitted to university without taking the college entrance exam.

Han Cui was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "Really? Which martial arts academy?"

Chu Ying also perked up her ears and listened carefully;

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Divine Capital Martial Academy."

"Pah! Bro, why don't you just say Divine Capital Martial Academy?"

And "if nothing unexpected happens"... Don't you know that in those TV dramas, whenever that line appears, something unexpected always happens in the end?

Chu Yuan was both amused and exasperated: "Are you cursing me?"

"No! I... Oh dear!"

Chu Ying was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks, but she didn't know how to retort.

Chu Yuan ignored her and said, "There hasn't been any specific notification yet, but our principal has already informed me in advance."

"Great...this is wonderful!" Han Cui's face was visibly beaming with happiness;

"Brother, does that mean you'll be staying in the capital from now on?"

"We can go together then," Chu Yuan said, making a grand promise.

Even though it's the capital city, he refused to believe that he couldn't afford a house there.

"Let's talk about it later, let's eat first..."

......

"I am Ma Hui."

"Captain Ma, hello, this is Chu Yuan." Chu Yuan said in a deep voice, "I heard that Jiang Fei is in trouble, and I would like to know the inside story."

"Chu Yuan..." There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the terminal: "Did Chen Yun tell you?"

Chu Yuan did not answer directly: "As far as I know, Jiang Fei's mission is to escort a cultivation manual;

Then he disappeared en route... How did you determine that Jiang Fei defected, rather than being attacked?

"You even know this?" Ma Hui was somewhat taken aback;

"That cultivation manual is mine. I have already been notified that it has been lost."

"So that's how it is..." Ma Hui suddenly realized and explained, "After Jiang Fei escorted you to participate in the secret realm trial, he received another mission from the General Bureau."

Only after completing the previous task did I receive the task of escorting the cultivation technique.

During this period, he stayed in Qiyang City for nearly a day, which can be verified by surveillance footage;

Then they disappeared, and their devices became unreachable...

Our investigation confirmed that Jiang Fei had proactively mobilized energy to disable the surveillance system.

And at the milk tea shop where he began to erase his tracks, there were no signs of a fight...

The Qiyang City Martial Arts Bureau questioned the staff at the milk tea shop, and the result was also that Jiang Fei was deliberately hiding.

Chu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Does this count as defection? Or perhaps there are other details?"

If Jiang Fei was truly greedy for the cultivation technique, why did he only do it in Qiyang City? Couldn't he have already run away with the technique?

Ma Hui sighed, "Otherwise what? Does he have to kill a few people or steal some secrets to be considered a defector?"

Under normal circumstances, it would be fine if we couldn't get in touch temporarily;

But we're currently on a mission, and this mission isn't low-level...

"The technique is mine. What if I don't pursue the matter?"

"Whether you investigate or not is useless; this is discipline."

"Your opinion doesn't count, and neither does mine..."

"What if I, as the holder of the Zhenwu Token, demand the removal of Jiang Fei's status as a defector?"

"..." Ma Hui's attitude seemed to soften, and he fell silent: "At the very least, we have to find him first! Only then can we discuss other things."

"Alright, I request to participate in the search for Jiang Fei!"

"...I will send you a complete investigation report later."
