While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 88 The New Leader of the Six Gates of Huazhou

Just to be on the safe side, Yue Feng bought some materials at the market, booked a superior room at an inn, and after a simple disguise, he took the wanted poster and headed to the Six Doors headquarters in Huazhou City.

The Six Doors headquarters in Huazhou City was unlike any other Six Doors headquarters Yue Feng had ever visited. Not only was it much more imposing in appearance, but it also occupied the best location in all of Huazhou City. The area in front of the headquarters was bustling with activity, a stark contrast to other Six Doors locations.

Yue Feng found the gatekeeper and said he wanted to see Constable Meng Yun. The gatekeeper sized him up for a while, and seeing that he was a new face, he didn't pay much attention: "Who are you? Who recommended you?"

Ever since Yue Lingshan guessed his identity, Yue Feng felt that the alias "Feng Yue" was unreliable, so he changed his name: "My surname is Feng, and my given name is Manlou. No one introduced me, simply because..."

Upon hearing that no one had offered an introduction, the gatekeeper grew impatient: "Go away! You dare come to the Six Doors to beg for money without an introduction? Go cool off somewhere else!"

The gatekeeper was about to leave when Yue Feng grabbed him, applying slight pressure. The gatekeeper felt an overwhelming force gripping his entire body, filling him with terror. Though Yue Feng still wore a smile, the look in his eyes was more terrifying than any cold expression.

"Great hero, let's talk this out... I'm too ignorant to recognize your greatness..."

"Take me to see Meng Yun, okay?" Yue Feng asked with a smile.

"Alright, alright, great hero, please follow me, please follow me."

The gatekeeper changed his attitude and obediently led Yue Feng to a side room, then knocked on the door: "Lord Meng, someone is looking for you."

A pleasant male voice rang out from the room: "Oh? Who is it?"

The gatekeeper turned and glanced at Yue Feng: "He is a young hero named 'Feng Manlou'."

"Feng Manlou? I don't know him." The man said, opening the door. "What brings you here?"

Meng Yun had a square face and thick eyebrows. At first glance, he appeared to be an honest and simple man. However, the shrewdness deep in his eyes was impossible to hide. Yue Feng's heart stirred, and he took out the wanted poster, showing it to Meng Yun:

"I wander the world, earning a living by bounty hunting. I've heard that Officer Meng is upright and hates evil, so I've come to ask if you have any information about him."

Meng Yun sent the gatekeeper back and invited Yue Feng inside. He got straight to the point and said, "This man has no name or surname, and we don't know where he came from. His only skill is his swordsmanship, which is so amazing that it has earned him the nickname 'Weeping Ghost Swordsman'."

"To be honest, young hero Feng, many skilled fighters from our Six Doors have fallen victim to the Weeping Ghost Blade. If you're not absolutely confident in your skills, I advise you not to get involved in this mess."

Just then, the wind blew open the window, and a leaf drifted into the room. Yue Feng didn't move his wrist; with a light flick of his fingertip, he sliced ​​the leaf in two from a distance. The cut was clean, as if it had been made by a sharp blade.

Meng Yun's expression brightened: "Excellent finger technique! Young Hero Feng possesses not only such superb skill but also a fervent heart to serve his country and its people. Very good! Someone, serve Young Hero Feng some tea!"

A servant served tea, and Meng Yun invited Yue Feng to drink some. He then said, "What I'm about to tell you is a closely guarded secret, and Young Hero Feng must not divulge it. In fact, we have already obtained several clues about the Weeping Ghost Blade, but the reason we haven't closed the net yet is because we are waiting for someone."

"Who?"

"A new commander has been transferred from elsewhere. He will be in charge of the Weeping Ghost Blade case from now on. So, if Young Hero Feng really wants to participate in this case, you might as well wait here. The new commander will arrive soon."

Yue Feng nodded in agreement. After waiting for a short while, they heard a commotion outside, with many people moving around. Meng Yun suddenly stood up: "They must have arrived. Young Master Feng, I'll go greet them. You wait here a little longer." Without waiting for Yue Feng's reply, he went out and closed the door behind him.

Extremely bored, Yue Feng spent 90 points to upgrade the Maha Vajra Finger to the Great Perfection. He closed the control panel and rested with his eyes closed for a while. Footsteps sounded outside the door. He opened his eyes, and just then, the door opened. Meng Yun respectfully led in a stunningly beautiful woman with fierce eyes and a frosty face.

Yue Feng stood up, and Meng Yun introduced the woman: "Commander Wu, this is the young hero Feng Manlou I just mentioned to you. He is highly skilled in martial arts, and more importantly, he has a heart full of patriotism and a desire to serve the people. We hope he can participate in tonight's operation."

Wu Shuangxue coldly scrutinized Yue Feng before her: "Officer Meng, are you sure this person is without fault, neither a friend nor an enemy of the criminal?"

"this……"

"I handle cases without the interference of outsiders. Tonight's case will be handled by my own men. Let's not mention this matter again! Tell him to leave immediately."

After Wu Shuangxue finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Yue Feng before turning and leaving the room. Meng Yun sighed, "Young Master Feng, look at this..."

"It's alright." Yue Feng bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant. "There will be plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future. I'll head back now."

Feeling quite apologetic, Meng Yun personally escorted Yue Feng out of the station. After leaving, Yue Feng found a nearby restaurant and chose a table by the window on the second floor, where he could see the station's main gate in the distance. He ordered a pot of wine and several dishes, poured himself a drink, and ate slowly, quite content with himself.

As night fell, the sound of hooves suddenly rang out, and several fast horses rushed out of the gate of the garrison like a whirlwind, onto the long street, and galloped away. Yue Feng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it on the table.

Before the silver coins even hit the table, Yue Feng had already vanished.

Outside Huazhou City, in Longchuan Town.

Wu Shuangxue, along with Meng Yun and several other skilled members of the Six Doors of Huazhou, dismounted in front of an inn that had closed early. After tying their horses up, a constable knocked on the door. Meng Yun explained to Wu Shuangxue, "The innkeeper, Manager Wei, is our informant; he provided the clue about the Weeping Ghost Blade."

Wu Shuangxue gave a faint "hmm". After a moment, a middle-aged man with a weasel-like face opened the door and bowed. Wu Shuangxue said, "No need for pleasantries, lead us to the place." Manager Wei nodded and bowed, leading the way, and soon brought everyone to an unremarkable little courtyard.

The courtyard gate was tightly shut. Wu Shuangxue drew her sword. With a flash of light, the bolt on the gate snapped silently in two. Holding the sword in one hand, Wu Shuangxue pushed open the gate with the other. The courtyard was empty, devoid of anything, yet wisps of medicinal fragrance wafted from the east wing room.

Wu Shuangxue led her men over and pushed open the door. There lay a severely injured young man on the bed in the side room. Although he was unconscious, he was still tightly gripping a single-edged sword in his hand.

A pretty young maid was squatting by the bed, intently brewing medicine. Suddenly, she saw Wu Shuangxue and the others and opened her mouth to shout. Wu Shuangxue casually pressed the maid's pressure points and walked towards the young man on the bed.
