"Xiao Huai, what happened to your eye? Did someone beat you up?! "Xia Fei asked in confusion.
Today was Xia Fei's first visit to the Aurora Race's logistics office. He had only been going through the motions, but he ended up seeing Xiao Huai sitting painfully on a chair by the door.
The moment Xiao Huai saw Xia Fei, he jumped up in excitement. In terms of seniority, Xia Fei was Xiao Huai's ancestor. Moreover, Xia Fei and Xiao Huai had some unspeakable secrets. He was one of the few people in the Aurora Race who were close to Xia Fei.
Xiao Huai felt both admiration and fear toward Xia Fei, this unconventional senior. He admired Xia Fei because of his great methods. He had managed to resolve such a huge crisis for the race, and he feared Xia Fei because his method of resolving the problem was rather bloody. He would kill at the slightest disagreement. This was very different from the Aurora Race's way of survival.
"Ouch ~"
Xiao Huai's jump affected his wound, and he covered his eye with one hand as he groaned.
Xia Fei smiled and helped Xiao Huai up. He took out a bottle of light blue medicine from his spatial ring and had Xiao Huai drink half of it while rubbing the other half on the wound at the corner of his eye.
"It really doesn't hurt anymore! Ancestor Xia Fei, what medicine is this? "Xiao Huai asked.
"Oh, some medicine that I casually mixed. It's better to be prepared when you're out. I'll give you a few bottles later. Keep them as a backup," Xia Fei lightly said.
Xiao Huai's eyes widened in shock. "Ancestor, you know how to mix medicine?! This medicine is much better than the formula of the Apothecary Race. You're truly amazing! "
Xia Fei did not think much of it. Medicine was naturally very effective, but the food nourishment that Old Man Dustfloat had passed on to him was truly amazing. He could eat and drink without feeling any pain. This was probably something that could not be found anywhere else.
"Tell me, how did you get that eye of yours?" Xia Fei lit a cigarette and sat down next to Xiao Huai.
Xiao Huai stammered. "This morning, I passed by Sun Dajin's house and remembered that they still owe our logistics office a sum of money, so I went in to collect the debt, but …"
Xia Fei was startled. Did Xiao Huai mean that he had failed to collect the debt and ended up getting beaten up? This was strange. It was said that the Xiao Huai followed the lead of the three great families. How could someone dare to beat someone from the Xiao Family?
Without another word, Xia Fei stood up and pulled Xiao Huai out of his chair, saying, "Come with me!"
"Where are we going?" Xiao Huai asked curiously.
"Where are you going? Naturally, it was to seek justice! You're not allowed to see your little girlfriend for a week! This is your punishment! "
Xiao Huai said with a sad face, "Ancestor, this is not fair. I didn't hit anyone. Why are you punishing me?"
Xia Fei sighed. The culture of the Aurora Race was truly terrible. The rules of the race were that it was fine to be beaten, but those who beat others would be punished! Thus, when Xiao Huai heard that Xia Fei was going to punish him, he was immediately displeased.
Xia Fei's expression was cold as he sternly said, "You went out to collect your debt and ended up getting beaten up, yet you still have the nerve to ask me why I punished you? Listen up, as long as I'm alive, we'll be the only ones who can beat people up! "
Xia Fei's words were naturally very encouraging. Xiao Huai had been cooped up in the race for so long, just waiting for someone to back him up. However, when he thought of the race's rules of being kind to others, Xiao Huai still felt some lingering fear and nervously followed Xia Fei out the door.
After turning a corner, they happened to bump into several youths from the race. They were all about the same age as Xiao Huai and had been sent to the logistics department for training.
It was still early, and these youths had all come to report to the logistics department.
"Oh! Xiao Huai, this must be the ancestor Xia Fei who has just returned to the family, right? " This group of youths hurriedly came over and greeted Xia Fei with great respect. It was obvious at a glance that they were the children of a well-educated family.
Xia Fei was not very old, but he was of high seniority. It was not impossible for them to call him ancestor, but Xia Fei did not like it. He felt like he was being called old for no reason.
"Yes, I'm Xia Fei. In the future, there's no need to call me ancestor. Call me uncle or elder brother. It's up to you. Where are you going?" Xia Fei nodded and said.
"Naturally, we're going to report to the logistics department."
"Don't go. Today, you're all coming with me to raid a house," Xia Fei coldly said.
This group of youths did not dare to offend Xia Fei, so they cautiously followed behind him.
Xia Fei was the disciple of a certain spirit-master. This was something that had long since spread throughout the race. Even when the Aurora Race was framed by the Leng family, it was Xia Fei who had stepped forward to settle the matter. These youths all knew about this.
Although Xia Fei had just returned to the family and did not have any specific duties, everyone knew that if the Aurora Race wanted to rise again, they would probably need to rely on Xia Fei. Let alone these youths, even the patriarch, Xiao He, would have to give Xia Fei some face. Thus, no one dared to oppose Xia Fei's actions. At most, they would whisper among themselves.
"Xiao Huai, what's raiding a house?"
"I don't know. It's probably a visit to someone's house." Xiao Huai shrugged and said.
"Oh, a visit? Wouldn't it be impolite to visit someone so early in the morning?"
"That's right. According to the rules, you have to prepare a gift when you visit. I don't see that Brother Xia Fei brought any gifts, so we might as well pool our money and buy something for that family. Otherwise, people will say that we're impolite, and that won't be good."
"That makes sense. I still have fifty pearls. Who else has spare money?
"I have 120 pearls." This was truly difficult for the well-educated scions of the Aurora Race. Xia Fei was going to raid a house, but they were actually pooling money to buy gifts!
Stopping, Xia Fei angrily glared at these disappointing youths.
Xia Fei was very vexed, but he really could not get angry. This was because these pairs of eyes were so naive. It was clear that they really did not understand what raiding a house was all about. In a few moments, these youths had pooled together around seven or eight hundred pearls. Xiao Huai wrapped the pearls in a handkerchief and came to Xia Fei's side. "We're going to visit someone, so we have to prepare a gift. What should we buy?"
"Buy my ass!" Xia Fei unleashed a barrage of curses at these youths, making Xiao Huai and the others a little afraid. In their minds, visiting and preparing gifts was a very normal thing. This was the rule of the race, so they did not know why Xia Fei was so angry. Yuan helplessly said, "Don't be angry at them. Putting aside the fact that they're just teenagers, so what if they have elders who have lived for tens of thousands of years? You still have to be polite and courteous wherever you go. This is the education and rules of the clan. "
"Bullsh * t rules!" Xia Fei angrily said. "What kind of people are they?! This is too humiliating! This is too humiliating! No, I have to think of a way to reverse this situation for the Aurora Race. " Lowering his head, Xia Fei looked at the naive faces of these youths and their eyes that were so pure that they were a mess. He felt very sad. It was fortunate that these naive people were born in large clans. If they were placed in society, they would probably be eaten up so badly that not even their bones would be left. Sighing, Xia Fei sternly said, "This morning, your brother Xiao Huai was beaten up! How do you think we should take revenge? "
"We should tell the elders in the family, and then they can ask Xiao Huai what he did wrong and how he angered that family. They can then get Xiao Huai to change," one of the youths seriously said. The other youths nodded.
* Smack! * Just as he finished speaking, Xia Fei slapped the young man hard across the face.
"Why don't you just die?! It's your brother who got beaten up! You actually want your brother to reflect on why he got beaten up?! Are you even raised by your parents?! "Xia Fei angrily roared.
The youth was stunned by the slap and hurriedly bowed. "You're right, elder, but that's the rule of the race. Besides, if Xiao Huai didn't do anything wrong, why would someone beat him up?"
What a bunch of muddle-headed youths. They were so young, yet they did not even have the slightest bit of courage?! Xia Fei's grief and indignation reached its peak.
It seemed that it was too difficult to reason with these youths. Xia Fei straightened his face and said in a deep voice, "From now on, all of you must remember two things. First, rules are the least important thing in this world. The reason why rules exist is to be broken!"
"Second, the greatest principle in this world is to be unreasonable! No matter when, what we do is right! What's right is right, and what's wrong is also right! If anyone punches your brother, you'll kill their entire family! "The youths were dumbfounded. This was a world of difference from what the race had always taught them! The race taught these youths to be reasonable, to follow the rules, and to be kind to others, but Xia Fei wanted them to be unreasonable and kill anyone who offended him! For a moment, the youths could not understand, and they kept scratching their heads.
Xia Fei sighed in his heart and muttered to himself, "This won't do. It'll lead these kids astray." Yuan was speechless when he heard this, thinking, 'Astray? You're the one leading them astray, alright?! ' That was when three figures flashed across the opposite street corner. Xia Fei's sharp eyes immediately saw who they were.
"Get your asses over here!" Xia Fei pointed at them with a single finger. Very soon, Iron Tiger and his two brothers stood respectfully in front of Xia Fei, their faces drenched in cold sweat. At this moment, their injuries had all healed. After all, they were only external wounds, and it was not difficult to treat a broken leg in Alpha Universe.
"Sir, we were just planning to leave …" Iron Tiger lowered his voice and nervously said. He was well aware of Xia Fei's identity as a cleric, and he had also heard about Xia Fei's return to the Aurora Race, so he was naturally very afraid of Xia Fei.
Xia Fei smiled and nonchalantly asked, "Iron Tiger, you should know what it means to raid someone's house, right?" Iron Tiger was stunned, nearly falling to his knees. He thought that Xia Fei was going to deal with his family, so his legs kept trembling as he said a few words of admitting defeat.
Xia Fei impatiently waved his hand and sternly said, "Who wants to raid your house? I have something to do today, and these kids don't understand yet. You three brothers, come with me. " Iron Tiger was afraid of Xia Fei, so he did not dare to disobey. He hurriedly agreed, saying that he would do anything for Xia Fei.
