Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Door-to-Door Protest
The Yang Family’s current reputation in Jin City may not be prominent, but dealing with two businessmen is still no problem.
Feng Jun didn’t want to handle everything personally, but he wasn’t quite accustomed to entrusting others with matters either.
After pondering for a moment, he asked aloud, “Both of their family businesses are not small, even if they are businessmen, isn’t there some cost associated with moving against them?”
This was a principle of mutual exchange of interests; no one could be controlled haphazardly. When one asks others to handle matters, there must be some form of compensation.
Not to mention the Yang Family, even Gu Family, the in-laws of Yang Yuxin, had to follow this principle.
Yang Yuxin understood this truth as well, but she responded decisively, “You, Master, don’t need to worry about this factor, and neither do I.”
In fact, she didn’t owe anything to the local members of the Yang Family. Instead, it was the Yang Family members who remained in the area who would occasionally seek help from the Yang Family in the capital, especially her, being a daughter-in-law of the Gu Family, their requests were not few.
So if she entrusted the local Yang Family with a task, she wouldn’t owe them anything. And even if she didn’t, when they had their own issues in the future, they would still come to her—after all, it was the same clan, and there was no reason to feel embarrassed about it.
However, what she could think, Feng Jun could not. Considering that he would owe a favor to the local Yang Family, he no longer wanted to dwell on it and shook his head with a smile, saying, “Let’s forget it, matters of Jianghu… better be left to Jianghu.”
“You don’t need to think so much,” said Yang Yuxin, who really wanted to assist him, “They are just two small private enterprises.”

Feng Jun shook his head, “Forget it… Let’s rest early today. Tomorrow morning, we still have to go to Mount Qingcheng.”
Speaking of early morning, it was indeed quite early. At half past six in the morning, the female police officer arrived at the hotel, and when the two of them came out, it was still very dark outside.
Jin City is almost half a time zone west of Zhengyang; at this time of the year in Zhengyang, it was just past five and not quite six o’clock yet.
After driving for more than an hour, it was still dark when they arrived at Qingcheng.
For this trip to Qingcheng, Feng Jun still had Xiao Tian drive a police car because… how should I put it? Believers can be quite scary when they are frenzied. He might not care, but Yang Yuxin might get involved, so it’s safer to drive a police car.
The two arrived so early not only to visit those Daoist temples but also to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Qingcheng.
They had business to attend to, but they also intended to enjoy the trip.
Xiao Tian was very familiar with Mount Qingcheng, much more so than Yang Yuxin. Not only could she lead the way, but she could also explain various anecdotes. Feng Jun felt that even if she stopped being a police officer, she would make an excellent tour guide.
As they approached Celestial Master Cave, a group of Taoist priests came towards them.
The three of them didn’t pay much attention, as they had encountered many Taoist priests along the way; there seemed to be some Daoist association or something nearby.
Among them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, accompanied by an exceptionally tall female police officer, truly stood out and attracted many curious glances from a group of Taoist priests.
Just as they were about to pass by each other, someone let out a light exclamation of surprise, sizing up Feng Jun before exclaiming, “Is it you?”
This Taoist priest appeared to be in his thirties, with a very ordinary look and build, nothing particularly remarkable.
Feng Jun glanced at the man, furrowing his brows in thought… Hmm, no, he had no recollection of him.
He was about to continue walking when he heard the priest yell, “Stop, who allowed you to come to Qingcheng?”
Feng Jun turned his head, looking at the priest again with a puzzled expression, asking, “Mount Qingcheng… is it your property?”
“Qingcheng does not welcome a defiant person like you,” the Taoist snapped, “Leave at once!”
“You’re out of your mind,” Feng Jun said indifferently, continuing to step forward without sparing the priest another glance.
“Stop!” the priest shouted again, “Qingcheng does not welcome you, believe it or not, I can make you leave?”
Feng Jun stopped, turned his head again with an impassive face, and said, “Come on, I’m standing right here. You try to make me leave?”
Xiao Tian approached and demanded coldly, “What’s going on, who are you?”
“Hmph,” the priest snorted coldly and didn’t answer. But since the other party was a police officer, he couldn’t act rashly.
“You need to explain yourself,” Xiao Tian spoke sternly, “Mount Qingcheng is a Grade A scenic area. What gives you the right to prevent people from visiting? If you don’t explain yourself, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Her task received from the police department was to protect the two distinguished guests. Although Yang Yuxin was of slightly higher priority, Feng Jun was still under her protection.
Now, facing such evident hostility towards someone she was tasked to protect, it was necessary to investigate this person’s identity.
The Taoist remained silent; however, another Taoist came over with a smile, saying, “He’s from out of town and doesn’t understand the customs here. Officer, don’t take it personally.”
There were also Taoist priests who had been here for years; seeing Xiao Tian looking unfamiliar, one of them inquired with a frown, “Officer, you’re not from around here, are you?”
Qingcheng falls under the jurisdiction of Guan County and is also part of Jin City, but Xiao Tian still nodded, “Yes, I come from Jin City.”
“Then, never mind,” the questioning Taoist said, “You see, you can’t manage our local matters. As for our fellow Taoist here, it was just a slip of the tongue. It’s cold, and we shouldn’t all have such fiery tempers… alright?”
Xiao Tian didn’t want to make trouble while away from home, but after thinking for a moment, she still chose to stand firm, “I can let it go, but I need to know this person’s name and background.”
“No need to ask,” Feng Jun said with a smile, “He’s from Dragon Phoenix Mountain. Isn’t this just setting up an enemy for Qingcheng intentionally?”
“This friend has good eyesight,” the questioning Taoist gave a thumbs-up and then spoke with a smile, “Qingcheng and Dragon Phoenix Mountain originate from the same source; there’s no difference… I’d like to ask, how is it setting up an enemy for Qingcheng?”
“You go ask him yourself,” Feng Jun couldn’t be bothered to explain and turned to walk down the mountain, “Forget it, meeting such a killjoy, I don’t even feel like climbing anymore. Let’s go back.”
At that moment, the Taoist from Dragon Phoenix Mountain finally called out, “He is the owner of Luohua Manor!”
Upon hearing this, the faces of all the Taoists changed in unison, and several of the faster-moving Taoists flickered in their steps, blocking Feng Jun’s path, “Honored one, may I ask if you come from Zhengyang?”
Looking at them, Feng Jun smiled and answered unhurriedly, “I am from Zhengyang.”
The earliest questioning Taoist asked seriously, “Fellow Taoist, what brings you to Mount Qingcheng?”
Feng Jun glanced at him, replying with a smile, “Here for tourism. Why not?”
“Fellow Dao Feng, let’s not jest,” said the Taoist, clearly aware of many things, with a stern face, “Why bring police for tourism?”
“Bringing the police is to prove that I haven’t done anything at Mount Qingcheng,” Feng Jun replied with a half-smile, “Whatever happens on Mount Qingcheng later on, it has nothing to do with me. Understood?”
His words came across as too arrogant, almost blatantly saying: I’ll deal with you Qingcheng later.
In fact, Feng Jun didn’t want to say that; after all, it hinted at challenging the existing laws. But Qingcheng’s actions had been too excessive. His visit was originally for revenge, and if the other side dared to ask, he wasn’t afraid to answer.
The questioning Taoist was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Feng Jun to answer so boldly.
At this moment, he genuinely wanted to give a harsh retort, but he was surrounded by Taoist friends from other temples and there were police present too.
So he paused for a moment before reluctantly letting out a bitter laugh, “Fellow Daoist and Qingcheng are certainly unrelated… may I know why you particularly favor Jintan Huayang Celestial Part?”
Feng Jun glanced at him and continued walking downwards. He was not interested in explaining, nor would he say why he harbored such animosity towards Qingcheng.
These causes and effects… need they be spoken? “Whom I hold in high regard has nothing to do with you Qingcheng, does it?”
Several Taoists tried to stop him, unwilling to let him leave, but Feng Jun walked straight into them, breaking through the encirclement and striding away.
Some Taoists were not reconciled and yelled out, intending to get physical, but Xiao Tian spoke loudly, “What are you doing? Qingcheng is supposed to be a tourist attraction, who gave you the right to stop visitors?”
Not only did she speak, but she was also holding her mobile phone, continuously recording.
These days, the police are a vulnerable group. Without a law enforcement recorder in hand when out and about, they hardly dare to claim they’re police. She didn’t bring a law enforcement recorder, but habit had set in. If she saw a situation likely to escalate, she would subconsciously start recording with her mobile phone.
While she spoke, her heart was actually somewhat uneasy.
True, she was a police officer and had a psychological edge over ordinary citizens, but facing a group of Taoists alone, she felt uncertain—Taoists are organized too, especially those from Mount Qingcheng, who are renowned and have local support.
If they really angered the other party, a call from them could bring many ignorant devotees. If they attacked her physically, she would have no recourse—not even sure of getting justice afterward.
Yet to her slight surprise, after she shouted, the Taoists indeed did not take any action.
Thus, the three of them were able to leave the mountain smoothly.
Xiao Tian didn’t notice, but there was an undeniable unwillingness in the eyes of a few Taoists, which was suppressed by the stern look from a middle-aged Taoist with a dark complexion.
This dark-faced Taoist had been silent all along. Once the three had descended the mountain, he huffed, “That’s right; don’t fall for their trap. This Feng surname surely has backup waiting down the mountain.”
With this remark, everyone understood, and their indignant faces brightened with smiles.
Oh, so the scoundrel wanted to set a trap and catch us all at once? Lucky for us to be so shrewd, not falling for his ruse.
However, in fact, the dark-faced Taoist knew best what was really going on. After calming everyone down, he stepped aside to make a phone call and spoke in a low voice, “Brother, Feng Jun from Luohua Manor has arrived… it seems like he’s here with bad intentions.”
“Luohua Manor’s Feng Jun… The one from Zhengyang?” The brother on the phone sounded puzzled, “What’s he here for?”
The dark-faced Taoist sighed, “People from the lower institute want to deal with him. I heard they’ve even sent someone to Zhengyang to take over his Daoist temple.”
“Tsk,” the brother smacked his lips and paused for quite a while before speaking, “Those people from the lower institute really are a mixed bunch. So, it’s… they failed?” (Update complete, calling for monthly votes.)
