Wang Jian promptly embarked on a journey towards the lair of the Miracle Angel Tribe on the sa day.
As he approached the entrance to the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair, Wang Jian ca to a halt and drew upon his mastery of the Shadow Manipulation technique, summoning forth a pitch-black doppelganger to infiltrate the stronghold.
The shadowy replica wasted no ti in slipping into the lair, shrouded in darkness and all but invisible to any who might try to detect its presence.
Lin Feng's daily routine was gruelling as he dedicated himself to rigorous physical training. He could be seen lifting heavy weights, running uphill, and practising his martial arts techniques with utmost discipline.
anwhile, Han Xifeng, along with her mother and other female mbers of her tribe, were gathered in a tent, discussing the tribe's safety.
Han Xifeng proposed the idea of hiring rcenaries to protect the tribe, but her suggestion was t with scepticism from the other won. They feared that these rcenaries might turn on them and pose a threat to their safety instead.
Despite Han Xifeng's persistent argunts, the other won remained firm in their opposition to the idea of hiring outside help.
At this mont, Han Xifeng felt soone poking her back. As she turned around, she saw no one there.
Just as she was about to turn back, Han Xifeng noticed so words written on the ground.
Her eyes widened as she saw the ssage.
It was a simple sentence, but it shocked her to the extre.
"Co et at the usual spot – Wang Jian."
After reading the ssage, Han Xifeng could no longer remain calm. She excused herself from the eting and left the lair quickly.
She turned around and made sure that no one was pursuing her as she headed to the spot where Wang Jian was waiting for her.
Han Xifeng was taken aback by Wang Jian's sudden appearance, and she looked at him with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. "What are you doing here? And why did you summon ?" she asked, eyeing him warily.
Wang Jian's face had a grim look as he replied, "There is a certain situation at hand."
Han Xifeng's brow furrowed in confusion, "What do you an?"
Wang Jian leaned in slightly, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief.
"Fen Shuying has left her hideout and is living in my estate. She wants to investigate her father's death, and I promised to help her," he said, relishing in the way Han Xifeng's expression changed from confusion to apprehension.
"And... how does that relate to ?" Han Xifeng asked, her tone cautious and guarded.
Wang Jian answered her, "She wants to et Lin Feng and confirm whether the rumors are true and whether he is her father's murderer or not."
There is no telling what will happen if the two et.
Once Fen Shuying ets Lin Feng, she will realize he isn't her father's murderer. Lin Feng will also work with her and try to find the true assailant. He will support her along with her clan, and this was unacceptable for Han Xifeng.
"…No way! I can't allow her to et him!" Han Xifeng instantly responded.
Wang Jian wore a worriso expression as he explained, "If I continue to evade this eting, Fen Shuying will only beco more determined to et Lin Feng."
Ha
n Xifeng shared the sa concern and brainstord a solution.
Suddenly, a cunning plan dawned on her as she spoke, "I have a plan. What if I et her and tell her that it was indeed Lin Feng who killed her father because of my request? I am sure she will believe ."
Wang Jian internally smiled as he heard her words. This was exactly what he wanted to hear.
Wang Jian employed a clever psychological trick known as "The Ikea Effect" to manipulate Han Xifeng into supporting his plan. Instead of proposing the idea himself and facing her opposition, he allowed her to co up with it on her own, knowing that people tend to value things they have created or contributed to.
By playing this ga, Wang Jian ensured that Han Xifeng was fully invested in the plan and would do whatever it took to make it work.
"That's a good start, but we need to scrutinize the plan further. Any flaws could jeopardize our success," Wang Jian advised, his mind racing with possibilities.
"Hmm," Han Xifeng responded, lost in thought.
The pair spent the next hour in deep discussion, ironing out the details of the plan until they were confident it was foolproof. Satisfied, they went their separate ways.
"Be prepared. The plan will be put into action tomorrow afternoon," Wang Jian declared before leaving.
As soon as he departed, Wang Jian made a beeline for Fen Shuying's estate to share the news with her.
On the other hand, Han Xifeng returned to the lair. She gathered her loyal subordinates and inford them of this eting with Wang Jian.
She also added, "Keep this news from Brother Feng. You know of his hatred for Wang Jian. He will never allow to go to this eting if he knows of it."
"Don't worry, young miss! Nobody will know of this secret," her servants solemnly promised.
"Good," Han Xifeng responded with a smile.
"I don't want to lie to Brother Feng, but this eting with Wang Jian is necessary to find more information regarding that assault on the Night Dagger Clan's camp. It will be disastrous if the assailants target us."
These final words easily convinced her subordinates, who were still sceptical.
As the evening approached, Wang Jian arrived at the estate where Fen Shuying was staying. He quickly scanned the premises and spotted Lady Xia in the living room, sipping tea.
He quickly demanded, "Where is Fen Shuying?"
Lady Xia was startled by his question but replied quickly, "She's training on the grounds."
Wang Jian's eyes glinted with an unsettling focus as he made his way to the training grounds. There, he observed Fen Shuying intently as she practised throwing daggers with precision.
"I have one bad news and one good news for you, Shuying," Wang Jian spoke.
"What is it, Lord Wang?" Fen Shuying asked. Her eyes were still fixated on her target as she continued her practice.
"The bad news is that Lin Feng refused to join us at the eting. However, the good news is that Han Xifeng will be substituting for him in the eting. She has even promised to inform us of the truth behind your father's demise," Wang Jian spoke.
Those words imdiately caused Fen Shuying to turn in his direction and ask, "She knows the truth?!"
Wang Jian responded with a shrug, "She does claim to know of it."
