Half a month later, Wu Qi's injuries had fully recovered. Yet, up to this point in time, he still had no idea what mystic tricks had Yan Dan been playing with. What Wu Qi did was merely play the fool with that old devil, Lao Ai, helping Lu Chengfeng avoid owing a favor to Princess Ying Chuan. Then, he too had played a trick on Wei Xiaoxiao and counter-ambushed those men she deployed in assassinating him, while capturing some prisoners.
After that, there came a great purge, as if a fierce thunderstorm was raging through the entire Ji City. It was a true purge, and the level of cruelty had greatly frightened Wu Qi. When he came back from the mine, Lu Chengfeng was struck with wild joy. He told him about what happened during the few days when he was in the mine. Wu Qi could not refrain himself and kept shaking his head while listening to the story, as he was deeply moved by the cruelty of the Imperial Clan.
