CHAPTER 625: CHAPTER 381, IT’S STARTING!

The room’s door was pushed open from the inside, and Bai Wuxin, dressed in white garments purer than snow, appeared at the doorway.

His eyes, filled with wary suspicion, sized up Tang Fei and he asked out loud, "You can detect me?"

Ever since he had been pursued and nearly died from grievous wounds last time, the dean had sent him to the Manless Valley to undergo rigorous cultivation.

It was there that he finally saw through the illusions, puncturing that thin layer of membrane.

With a single step through the Mountain Gate, he ascended to the rank of a Junior Grandmaster.

A Junior Grandmaster could let the Yin Yang Qi circulate within the body internally, without the need to breathe and even without a heartbeat.

Exempt from birth and form, merging as one with all the myriad things of heaven and earth.

But how on earth could Tang Fei have detected his presence?

Could it be that he too had advanced in rank?

What was his cultivation realm now?

Bai Wuxin wanted to probe the cultivation realm of Tang Fei, yet that wisp of his Qi that he released disappeared without a trace, without causing the slightest ripple.

This only deepened the confusion in Bai Wuxin’s eyes.

"What’s so difficult about that?" Tang Fei shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Impossible, I’ve concealed my inner Qi..." Bai Wuxin retorted.

"But you didn’t cover up your good looks—the extraordinary aura about you is overpowering, impossible to block."

"..."

Bai Wuxin looked at Tang Fei with a stunned expression.

What kind of nonsense was this?

"You’re this handsome; don’t go out too easily in the future." Tang Fei scrutinized Bai Wuxin’s delicate features, skin fair like snow, and the clean, cool quality of his temperament with great envy, and said.

Having not seen him for a while, the guy had somehow become even more attractive.

In Tang Fei’s heart, Bai Wuxin was always the second-handsomest, just after himself, and now there seemed to be signs that the newcomer might surpass the old.

Could this be the result of his breakthrough as a result of diligence?

No, this momentum had to be nipped in the bud.

Having said this, Tang Fei baffled Bai Wuxin.

Tang Fei regained the initiative and walked past him, saying, "Come inside quickly, otherwise that irresistibly handsome scent will drift outside."

Bai Wuxin entered silently, not wanting to speak with him.

Tang Fei hadn’t been home for a while, but the room was still incredibly clean.

Perhaps it was precisely because he hadn’t come back that the room remained so clean...

After all, Little Fatty couldn’t cook and only relied on the cooking robot.

The cooking robot controlled the cooking process with exquisite precision, hardly ever allowing for oil fume spillage or food splattering.

Although Tang Fei’s cooking was tasty, it was heavy with oil and spice, following the practices of the Old Land...

Thus, cooking a meal was akin to going through a battlefield.

And since Tang Fei himself was not inclined to clean up and Little Fatty wasn’t thorough, it eventually fell to the cleaning robot.

Thank goodness for technology!

Tang Fei sat at the tea table boiling water for tea, and Bai Wuxin did not stand on ceremony, but went straight over and sat down in front of him.

There was no need for politeness between them, as they were originally entrusted with each other’s lives and fortunes.

Tang Fei poured the brewed Red Robe tea into two cups, handed one of the cups to Bai Wuxin, and looking into his slender eyes, he asked, "Did the old man send you?"

When Tang Fei first came to New Star, he liked to drink juice and cola.

He thought those kinds of drinks were sweet, just like his life at the moment.

After a while, he grew tired of it and found tea more comforting to drink.

"Hmm." Bai Wuxin nodded.

Taking a sip of the tea, he found it exceptionally fragrant, exquisite tea.

Bai Wuxin had lived in this room before; he knew that the house had been a gift from the prestigious Princess Xiu Xue of the Empire, a gift that also included the assortment of wines and teas that now filled the room.

Phoenix had explained that these items were left by the previous professor, but as to the specifics, he did not wish to delve any deeper.

He was not interested in matters of love and affection; everyone simply doing what they ought to do was enough.

He sought revenge, and Tang Fei was to lead them in seeking that revenge.

"Why hasn’t he come?"

"He has other matters to attend to."

"What for?"

"To see how you are."

"I’m fine," Tang Fei said aloud.

Tang Fei knew that when word of his injury got out, the old man would surely be the most worried and fearful.

However, Phoenix had directly taken him to the Imperial Maritime Hospital, and he was placed in a VIP hospital ward.

The Imperial Maritime Hospital was heavily guarded, particularly the VIP ward dedicated to the Royal Family’s service, which was sheltered 24 hours a day, offering full and fail-safe protection to the honored patients within.

Moreover, Sheng Xinhua’s constant presence at his side meant she even changed her underwear in the ward’s shower room...

"Eh, why do I know about that?"

This situation meant the old man couldn’t come in, and Tang Fei couldn’t meet with him, either.

The phone that could reach the old man was not with him; he didn’t have the chance to even send a message or make a call...

So, when Bai Wuxin heard he had been discharged, he promptly appeared before him.

Bai Wuxin, holding the teacup with both hands, looked up at Tang Fei and asked thoughtfully, "Are your injuries not as severe as the rumors suggest?"

"How severe are the rumors?" Tang Fei asked with a smile.

Bai Wuxin fell into a brief silence, then said, "I already know the answer."

"..."

Seeing the weird look Tang Fei was giving him, Bai Wuxin said, "He said that you know a hundred ways to solve a problem, but you chose the most foolish one."

Tang Fei gave a bitter smile and said, "Indeed, the old man understands me best."

"He said the same, that he knows the color of the shit you’re going to take just by the way you stick out your butt."

"..."

"Why did you do it?" Bai Wuxin asked.

"The old man wouldn’t ask me that question."

"Why not?"

"Because it would make me feel embarrassed."

"..."

"And besides, he knows why I did it."

"I asked him, and he told me to ask you."

Tang Fei let out a soft sigh and said, "Now is a critical time for us; one wrong move and it’s all over."

"But because I caught Qin Jianyi, it inevitably provoked a backlash from the Flame-Bathed Legion. With someone like Tang Shengyan targeting me, I can’t sit still, nor can I hide anywhere."

"Therefore, I must find a way to untie this knot... to divert the gaze of Tang Shengyan and the Flame-Bathed Legion away from me, as well as divert others’ attention away from me..."

"So... the attack on Zhong Tianque..."

"It has nothing to do with me," Tang Fei said expressionlessly.

"..."

Bai Wuxin took a USB drive from his breast pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "He wanted me to give this to you."

"Is it time to start?" Tang Fei asked.

A rare, fiery light flashed in Bai Wuxin’s calm eyes, but his voice remained cold as ice, "Yes, it’s time to begin."
