This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 89 - : The Move

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: The Move

August 31st.

The last day of the month, Li Fei arrived early as usual at the Martial Arts Hall.

However, before he could look for Hao Yi, a group of people found him first.

“Brother Fei!”

The leader wore a big smile and greeted him warmly.

Li Fei looked at the person.

...

His name was Luo Hua, the son of a platoon leader from the first platoon of the Inspection Bureau, and he was one of the core members of Lu Changwu’s small team previously.

Since Lu Changwu had died unexpectedly and Lu Sheng had been demoted, this small group belonging to the children of the Inspection Bureau had basically disbanded.

Later, when Li Lei had been unexpectedly promoted to captain of the first platoon, people had again begun approaching Li Fei, hoping he would step up to become the new leader, but Li Fei had brushed them all off.

He had been too busy with various matters recently and really had no interest or energy to play the role of leader or socialize with these children of the Inspection Bureau.

“Brother Fei, today is the monthly assessment, how have you considered the matter I proposed before?”

Luo Hua asked.

Li Fei responded, “What is the content of this month’s assessment?”

He had been busy with Perception Training these past few days, ‘taking hits’ every day, nearly forgetting about the monthly assessment.

“This month’s assessment has to do with a significant incident that happened these past few days.”

Luo Hua said, “Recently, in the World of Xing City, a fearsome figure known as Green-faced Ghost appeared; do you know about him, Brother Fei?”

“Eh.”

Li Fei blinked, “I know a little bit.”

“This Green-faced Ghost first killed a Third Level Main Judge from the Court of Judicial Review, then publicly attacked someone in Qingyuan Fist Village, seriously injuring a master from the Tiger Saber Gang to the verge of death!”

Luo Hua spoke in excited, hushed tones.

“Our monthly assessment is to participate in a joint operation by the Inspection Bureau, Zhi Ge Court, and Righteous Court to arrest Green-faced Ghost.”

“I see…”

Li Fei blinked again, “Do we know where Green-faced Ghost is?”

Luo Hua shook his head: “Not yet, but we’ll be joining the Inspection Bureau’s search operation.”

“What if we don’t find him by the end of the search, how will this month’s assessment be evaluated?”

Li Fei asked.

Luo Hua was taken aback: “With a joint operation of three courts, such a major effort, surely we’ll find him, right?”

“Hmm…”

Li Fei nodded, “You have a point.”

“Brother Fei.”

Luo Hua pointed at the people behind him, “In this operation, we all look up to you as the leader!”

Compared to the original small team when Lu Changwu was still around, the number of people Li Fei saw before him was not even half of the original.

With Wu Yihua taking over as Inspector General, the internal structure of the Inspection Bureau changed dramatically. Many were reluctant to oppose the Tiger Saber Gang anymore and chose to leave the group.

The families of these current members were mostly from the first platoon, and with Li Lei as their parents’ immediate superior, they chose to have Li Fei lead.

“Let’s support each other.”

Li Fei responded.

He didn’t see the need to push these students away, especially since Li Lei still needed the support of their parents.

“Great!”

Seeing Li Fei agree, Luo Hua and the others were overjoyed.

“With Brother Fei leading us, maybe we can catch the Green-faced Ghost and achieve great merit!”

Someone flattered.

“….”

Li Fei could only smile at this, not knowing what else to say.

He then went to Hao Yi’s office to inquire about the details of the monthly assessment.

It was indeed as Luo Hua had said.

“If we fail to find Green-faced Ghost, or if you don’t encounter him in this search operation and thus lack a chance to perform, alternative assessments will be arranged.”

Hao Yi told Li Fei.

“Alright.”

Li Fei nodded.

Hao Yi, recalling the phone call from last night, looked slightly uneasy:

“This Green-faced Ghost has the combat power of a martial master, skilled in fighting, and his Implant likely focuses on strength. If you really encounter him, don’t confront him head-on.”

Li Fei bowed to Hao Yi:

“The student understands.”

As with last month’s assessment, all Rank A students gathered in the great hall, the Vice Hall Master spoke, and then seven or eight senior instructors led the teams.

This time, the Inspection Bureau’s vans entered the Martial Arts Hall to pick up all the Rank A students for the search area.

“Little Brother Fei, I’ve been sent by Captain Li.”

Inside the van, an Inspector riding with Li Fei and others initiated conversation:

“We are conducting a city-wide search, Captain Li is in charge of Kaiping District, and he sent me to bring you there to join the search.”

“Okay, thank you for the trouble.”

Li Fei nodded, a bit sentimental.

The last monthly assessment featured a similar scenario involving Lu Changwu and Lu Sheng, and now it had shifted to Li Fei and Li Lei.

This moment was just like that moment.

The expressions of Luo Hua and the others in the van were somewhat strange, clearly making the same connection.

However, given how things ended for Lu Changwu and Lu Sheng, who knew what the outcome of this month’s assessment would be?

…

Yu Residence.

In the room where Zhang Mingze was recovering from his injuries, Doctor Huang, who had been watching by the bed, suddenly looked delighted and hurriedly administered several acupuncture needles to Zhang Mingze lying on the bed.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Zhang Mingze, who had been in a coma, suddenly started coughing and slowly opened his eyes.

“Go inform the Gang Leader, the Master has awakened!”

Doctor Huang turned and shouted to the people outside.

Soon, hurried footsteps approached, and Yu Hu quickly entered, looking immediately at Zhang Mingze on the bed.

Seeing the other party awakening, his face brightened, and he turned to ask Doctor Huang,

“How is he doing?”

Doctor Huang, who had just finished checking the pulse, told Yu Hu,

“Since the Master has awakened, it’s as if he has stepped back from the gates of hell. As long as his condition does not worsen over the next few days, his life should be saved.”

“That’s great! That’s great!”

Yu Hu exclaimed with joy. “Doctor Huang, we will need you to continue to put in effort.”

Doctor Huang quickly bowed, “You are too kind, Gang Leader.”

“Gang Leader.”

From the bed, Zhang Mingze weakly called out.

Yu Hu hurried to the bedside. “You just focus on recovering, don’t worry about other matters for now.”

Zhang Mingze slightly shook his head, looking at Yu Hu,

“Gang Leader, tell me about the current situation.”

Seeing this, Doctor Huang hurriedly said, “Master Zhang, you shouldn’t overexert yourself.”

But Zhang Mingze just stared intently at Yu Hu.

He knew that after his severe injury and near-death experience, Yu Hu would definitely take significant actions.

Yu Hu sighed as he looked into Zhang Mingze’s eyes.

He knew the man’s temperament too well, so he quickly recounted his arrangements and the events of the past two days.

“What was Gu Zhenhui’s reaction?”

After hearing Yu Hu’s description, Zhang Mingze asked.

“I proposed a joint action between the Governance Hall, Inspection Bureau, Zhi Ge Court, and Righteous Court. Gu Zhenhui did not oppose it, and his officials were very cooperative,”

said Yu Hu. “He is trying to avoid suspicion.”

“Hmm.”

Zhang Mingze hummed, falling into deep thought.

Due to his severe injuries, his thinking was slow. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, suddenly coughing again:

“Cough, cough, cough!”

“Master!”

Doctor Huang hurriedly stepped forward and administered two more needles to help Zhang Mingze stabilize his breath.

Zhang Mingze looked at Yu Hu and weakly said,

“Publicizing that Green-faced Ghost killed Feng Zhenshan… Gang Leader, that was a clever move… but…it also left a loophole…”

In the room, Yu Hu’s gaze sharpened.

…

In Kaiping District, Li Fei and others had already met up with the first platoon of the Inspection Bureau and divided into dozens of teams to start searching.

Since most residents of Kaiping District were either rich or noble, the search could not involve intruding into homes; they could only approximate as much as possible.

“Male, about 178 cm tall, of medium build, possibly with multiple sword injuries on his body.”

This was the information about Green-faced Ghost that Li Fei and others received.

In addition, each person had a picture of the Green-faced Ghost’s mask, and all search members asked around to see if anyone had seen this mask, while also looking for any suspicious individuals.

As it was still raining heavily, everyone used umbrellas as they moved through the rain.

After several hours of searching, Luo Hua and others, who had started off ambitious and hopeful of encountering Green-faced Ghost and seizing an opportunity to excel, all wilted like frost-stricken eggplants.

“When will this search end?”

Luo Hua couldn’t help complaining.

“This kind of large-scale search is all about luck; it could be fruitless even after a dozen days.”

A accompanying inspector said.

“Is it possible that Green-faced Ghost has already left the city?”

A female student asked.

“That’s less likely because all major exits of the city were sealed off immediately, and all outgoing individuals were strictly inspected. It would be very difficult for him to leave the city unnoticed.”

“Ah, this assessment is so boring.”

Another student complained.

Li Fei, who had been silent, chimed in,

“It really is quite dull.”

He was involved in the search himself, thinking that if they actually managed to find Green-faced Ghost, it would truly be unbelievable!

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot sounded in the distance.

Everyone present was startled.

Then, they heard a series of sharp whistle sounds and faint shouting:

“Green-faced Ghost spotted!”

“Green-faced Ghost is here!”

To be continued tomorrow.
