Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

A glint of cold light flashed in Fei Si’s eyes, and he became somewhat angry.

In his view, the mechanism must be credited to Chen Cha! Because, Chen Cha was his subordinate, and Chen Cha’s achievement represented his own achievement.

Fei Si’s face, however, showed a smile as he reached out and patted Chen Cha’s shoulder, instead praising him: “It’s precisely because of your integrity that I appreciate you.”

“Although this work is not yours, I trust that in the future, you will definitely create an even better artifact.”

Chen Cha was visibly moved: “Thank you, Master, for your appreciation!”

Many years ago, it was Fei Si’s solicitation that brought him to Fire Persimmon Immortal City to develop.

But who knew, Ju Immortal City was not easy to thrive in! He had painstakingly managed the Frisbee Workshop, and by this year, it was already in a precarious state.

However, the opportunity Fei Si had given him was genuine. For this, he had always been tremendously grateful.

Fei Si naturally continued probing: “Let me ask you then, which cultivator invented this mechanism monkey?”

Chen Cha was unwilling to do it, so Fei Si decided to step in himself, “helping” Chen Cha solve this problem.

In the vast Fire Persimmon Immortal City, what did it matter if a few unknown mechanism masters disappeared?

Chen Cha did not suspect and gave a brief introduction about Ning Zhuo.

“A mere Qi Refinement Level Three…” Fei Si sneered in his heart, then his expression changed upon hearing the next words, “Hmm? Someone from the Ning Family?”

Fei Si slightly frowned.

That made it difficult to take action.

He immediately dismissed his previous dark thoughts.

Because this involved the Ning Family, a Golden Core Level power. Provoking them would be extremely troublesome.

The Ning Family’s overall power was considered the weakest among the Four Directions Powers in Fire Persimmon Immortal City. The Ning Family only had one Golden Core Stage cultivator.

However, the Ning Family Ancestor had proven their might in actual combat.

Sixteen years ago, during the Ning Family’s migration, they went through a fierce battle. The Ning Family Ancestor fought two enemies alone, repelling the ambushers and saving most of their clan members, showcasing remarkable combat power.

This feat was why the other three forces allowed the Ning Family to settle in Fire Persimmon City. Although minor conflicts between the four powers were inevitable, they all managed to restrain themselves, avoiding severe clashes.

Moving against Ning Zhuo might mean facing the Ning Family and their Golden Core powerhouse. Fei Si would never take on such a huge risk.

For such a small amount of credit, it was not worth it at all!

Failing in this plan, Fei Si quickly thought of another.

He sighed: “Chen Cha, you have deceived me!”

Chen Cha was immediately apprehensive: “Master, you are my benefactor. Your support is the reason I have been able to cultivate in Fire Persimmon Immortal City. Why do you say this?”

Fei Si replied: “Your report was vague, making me mistakenly believe this mechanism was your work.”

“I have already vouched for you to the City Lord and even secured a reward for you.”

“Sigh, I have always trusted you.”

“Now, the die is cast. If the truth comes out, what do you think the City Lord will do to us?”

“As for me, I might be fine. But I worry about you. For you, this is a serious crime of claiming credit!”

Chen Cha’s face turned pale, and he became panicked: “What should I do? Please, Master, save me!”

Fei Si remained silent, stroking his beard thoughtfully. After a moment, he said: “Here’s what you should do: talk to Ning Zhuo and see if you can persuade him to transfer the credit for this mechanism monkey to you. You are much older than him, while Ning Zhuo is only sixteen. What could a cultivator in the Great Clan School have experienced? Hehe, have a good chat with him and negotiate.”

Chen Cha was deeply troubled: “But…”

Honestly, he didn’t want to do this at all.

Fei Si snorted inwardly and sighed out loud: “Chen Cha, this is for your own good! If you don’t go along with this, and the City Lord finds out eventually, you will be the one being punished! The crime of falsely claiming credit is no small matter.”

Fei Si listed a few examples nonchalantly, causing Chen Cha to break into cold sweat.

“Sigh, things have come to this point, I can only try to persuade Ning Zhuo. No, I must successfully persuade him!” Chen Cha sighed inwardly, being forced to change his mind.
