Bao Xiuzhu was slightly taken aback. She smiled and said, "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that. Repairing soul devices can't be done on Planet Garde 83. You'll need to send the soul devices back to headquarters and have them repaired by our Treasures Sky Auction's exclusive clerics. At most, I can waive fifteen percent of the processing fees for the branch. That's the most I can do."
Bao Xiuzhu spoke sincerely. Though she really wanted to build a good relationship with Xia Fei, she really did not have the ability to interfere with the headquarters' pricing policies. Besides, it was the crucial testing period for the new chairman of Treasures Sky Auction, so Bao Xiuzhu could not gamble with her future.
Xia Fei calmly said, "There's no need for headquarters to know. Just accept the business, and I'll handle it."
Bao Xiuzhu's eyes lit up. Bao Xiuzhu had always wondered if Xia Fei was a cleric, and what Xia Fei said today proved that he was! Even if he was not a cleric, he was someone closely related to one!
"Okay, it's a deal," Bao Xiuzhu said excitedly. As a girl, Bao Xiuzhu was not lacking in decisiveness when it came to business. In her eyes, this was an opportunity!
No matter what reason Xia Fei had to help the Aurora Race, as long as she accepted the business, Xia Fei would owe her a favor. Was there anything more wonderful than a cleric owing a favor?
Bao Xiuzhu instantly felt her confidence soar. The fact that Xia Fei had personally come to find her meant that he did not hate her too much. Bao Xiuzhu, who was always shrewd as a businesswoman, saw a little hope.
"I'll personally come to get the things tonight. I'll return them to you after I'm done," Xia Fei said as he put out his cigarette.
"Understood. I'll wait for you in the back garden where we talked last time." Bao Xiuzhu nodded.
With that, Xia Fei got up and left through the side door to avoid bumping into Xiao Beiwang. Meanwhile, Bao Xiuzhu urgently called Ji Liang over and whispered a few words to him.
Ji Liang became more and more shocked as he listened, his mouth slowly opening wide.
"Remember, from today onward, the Aurora Race will be our most important customer in Garde 83," Bao Xiuzhu said in a deep voice, her brows slowly relaxing.
Everything was clear now. The Aurora Race had the secret help of a cleric. Not only would they not die, they would also rise again! Even if he didn't want to give face to the Aurora Clan, he had to give face to the mysterious Spirit Master!
She was all smiles. This was the first time Bao Xiuzhu felt so happy since she had come here. When she returned to the garden, Ye Zishui was nowhere to be seen.
"Eh? Where did that damned girl run off to? "
…
Xia Fei exited Heavenly Treasures Store from the side door. After taking a few steps on the street, he shook his head and stopped in his tracks. He sighed and said, "I say, lady, what's wrong with you? Why do you have to follow me? "
Turning his head, he saw Ye Zishui standing there, smiling at him.
Actually, Ye Zishui was quite polite, and her personality tended to be well-behaved, but the ladies from rich families tended to be pampered, so they all had a bit of a temper. The reason why Ye Zishui got into a fight with Xia Fei was because of her personality.
"Let's go our separate ways. It's not like this road belongs to your family, so why can't I follow you?" Ye Zishui disagreed. "You're Xia Fei, right? What's going on between you and Sister Xiuzhu? "
The first half of her sentence was a little clever, but the latter half was a lot more naive. Ye Zishui, who was not scheming, directly asked about the relationship between Xia Fei and Bao Xiuzhu.
Xia Fei chuckled. "Would you believe me if I told you that I'm in a relationship with Bao Xiuzhu?"
Ye Zishui froze for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I really don't believe it. Big Sister Xiuzhu would never fall for someone as insignificant as you. She's very proud, and she's the smartest among us sisters."
Xia Fei turned around and continued walking, muttering to himself, "That's right. She's too smart. Everything she does is full of purpose, making it hard for others to get close to her."
Ye Zishui did not treat Xia Fei as an outsider. She grabbed Xia Fei's sleeve and said, "So that's what you think too? You're so young, but why do you speak like my grandfather? He also said the same thing about Sister Xiuzhu. "
Xia Fei said, "Businessmen pursue profit, so there's nothing wrong with that. Do you believe that there's nothing going on between me and her now?"
"Hmph!" Ye Zishui pouted. "Even if you want to be in a relationship with Sister Xiuzhu, she won't let you. Hey, there's a candy shop here. "
The young lady's personality was quick to act up, and the street food and craftsmen very quickly attracted her attention. She did not even ask for the price and simply took it.
Soon, however, Ye Zishui looked at Xia Fei pitifully.
"I didn't bring any money with me …"
…
Xia Fei had nothing to do, so he decided to wander the streets with Ye Zishui. Ever since he arrived at Garde 83, Xia Fei had mentioned that he wanted to take a look around the streets, but he ended up having a lot of things to do over the past few days, so he had dragged it out until now.
Ye Zishui did not have much of a plan, so Xia Fei found it fun to wander around the streets with her. In the blink of an eye, it was noon. The two of them found a street stall and had a bite to eat. Ye Zishui was from a wealthy family, so she did not usually have the chance to eat street food. A bowl of fish balls mixed with spring onions was enough to put a smile on her face.
"Soul Combat Center!" Ye Zishui pointed at a rather shiny sign on the right side of the street. "Come, let's go in and take a look!"
It had been a long time since Xia Fei had gone through Soul Combat training, and his hands were a little itchy, so he and Ye Zishui entered this Soul Combat Center.
There were more than a hundred simulation chambers in the lobby. It was not a big place, but it was the network of the Virtual Soul Combat Company, which could connect to virtual battlefields all over the universe.
In order to protect their own interests, the Virtual Soul Combat Company only allowed their subsidiary companies to operate online. Though the Soul Combat Center on Mammoth was huge, it was not a network, so it could only entertain itself.
Aside from Soul Combat, there were also educational simulations. As long as one paid a certain fee, they could watch all kinds of combat recordings and get personal guidance from Soul Combat experts to improve their combat skills.
At this moment, a screen was playing a recording of Xia Fei's time on Mammoth. That strange movement technique, that amazing maneuver, had everyone gasping in surprise.
"That's the video. I've watched it over a hundred times, but I just can't figure out how he did it."
"If you can figure it out, it wouldn't be called a classic. On the official website of the Virtual Soul Combat Company, this video has reached an unprecedented number of downloads. It's the most popular video in Soul Combat."
"It's a pity that this guy called Xiao Fei never appeared again after that. He has already become a legend."
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. Mammoth had a closed network, but the Virtual Soul Combat Company had released Xia Fei's video from the closed network to the public without paying him a single cent in copyright fees. This made Xia Fei very frustrated.
Ye Zishui's eyes sparkled as she said mysteriously, "The footwork you used to avoid me that day was learned from this video, wasn't it? Hehe, not bad. It means that you're very good at learning. Don't worry; I won't tell Xiao Fei about you. "
Xia Fei was slightly stunned. It was clearly his version of Crafty Approach, so why did Ye Zishui say that he had secretly learned it?
Frowning, Xia Fei asked, "You know Xiao Fei?"
Ye Zishui looked around and nodded proudly.
"Hehe, I happened to meet the operator of One-armed Starry on Mammoth."
* Shing *
Xia Fei's expression changed slightly as he muttered to himself, "Nonsense. I've never seen you before. How do you know that I'm Xiao Fei?"
Xia Fei was very depressed. He thought that he had made it airtight, but in the end, this lady still managed to find out.
* Smack! *
Ye Zishui burst out laughing, holding her stomach as she punched Xia Fei's waist.
"You sure know how to joke around. It would be strange if you could control One-armed Starry like that!"
Ye Zishui rolled her eyes and whispered into Xia Fei's ear, "That person is actually Xiao Xiao from the Xiao family. People call him Seventh Young Master Xiao!"
Xia Fei was even more confused. He was clearly the one controlling Starry, so where did this Xiao guy come from?
"I was on Mammoth with Seventh Young Master Xiao. Not only do I know that Xiao Fei is Seventh Young Master Xiao, but I also left a message for him on the simulator. Do you believe me now?" Ye Zishui said gleefully.
Xia Fei suddenly realized that the naggy lady who kept leaving him messages was none other than Ye Zishui!
Xia Fei smiled and said, "Alright, I believe you."
As long as he did not expose his identity, Xia Fei could not be bothered with people like Seventh Young Master Xiao or Eighth Young Master Xiao.
"Let's go. These guys are worlds apart from Seventh Young Master Xiao, yet they actually want to challenge Starry's template. They're really overestimating themselves." Ye Zishui pouted.
Xia Fei was speechless.
"You're pretty good at learning. You've learned a bit of footwork from Seventh Young Master Xiao so quickly, so you have some potential."
Xia Fei continued to be speechless.
"Still, you shouldn't be too proud even if you have potential. Don't do something like impersonating Seventh Young Master Xiao anymore. After all, you're not the one who created this footwork. Seventh Young Master Xiao is great, but he's a little narrow-minded. If he finds out that you're impersonating him and comes to settle the score, you'll be in big trouble."
Xia Fei sighed, completely speechless.
"Don't tell me you've fallen for Seventh Young Master Xiao?" Xia Fei probed.
Ye Zishui blushed as she whispered, "Who wouldn't like someone who can control Starry's template so well?"
…
Xia Fei and Ye Zishui strolled along the streets. To others, it looked very strange.
Xia Fei had never been particular about what he wore. His sportswear had been washed so many times that it was almost white, and he had even brought it from Earth.
Ye Zishui, on the other hand, was very different. She exuded the superiority of a lady from a wealthy family, and even a random handkerchief was worth thousands of pearls.
The two of them walking side by side naturally attracted the attention of passersby, some with good intentions, and some with bad intentions.
In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant by the roadside sat several well-dressed youths. They were all disciples of the Leng family. They were drinking out of boredom as they swept their eyes over the pretty ladies on the street, whistling and teasing when they saw a pretty one.
"Third brother, look. This is the only guest in the Aurora Clan's courtyard. His name is Xia Fei. I've sent someone to ask around, and he's not related to the Aurora Clan at all. He's just a freeloader."
The youth who was addressed as third brother frowned as he stared at Xia Fei, muttering to himself, "Damn it. All the scoundrels in the Aurora Clan's courtyard came to our house to cause trouble, and he's the only one left at home. Perhaps this brat is the mastermind!"
