News from Avril
Planet Hek was still as beautiful as ever. After a whole year of living in danger, Xia Fei found it a little hard to relax.
Inside the Heaven Execution Training Camp, Xia Fei observed his surroundings as he casually said, I suddenly realized that making the training camp so luxurious and comfortable isn't actually a good thing. To a warrior, though they can improve their cultivation in such a comfortable environment, they won't be able to develop a sense of danger. Not having a sense of danger is a fatal flaw for a warrior.
Phantom disagreed. Back then, I persuaded you to come to the training camp mainly because of the special cultivation enhancement system, as well as the various medicinal ingredients and equipment. Now, it seems that the world has overestimated Heaven Execution Training Camp, spreading rumors to the point that this place has become a holy land for all warriors.
Still, the internal division's system that relies on absorbing the energy of Hearts of Spirit to improve one's cultivation is indeed not bad. Unfortunately, you probably won't have the chance to uncover its secrets.
Xia Fei nodded and did not say anything else. It would of course be a good thing if he could obtain this method of absorbing Cosmic Origin Energy for his own use, but unfortunately, the internal division was very protective of this system, and it was not something someone of Xia Fei's level could come into contact with.
Xia Fei pushed open the door and entered the library, only to see old man Qin Mangs sitting in his seat with his legs crossed. There was a pot of tea on the table and a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Seeing Xia Fei enter, Qin Mangs did not look surprised at all. He merely nodded and softly said, Youre back.
Xia Fei chuckled as he walked over. Old man, since when did you start smoking? I remember you complaining more than once about how smelly cigarettes are.
Qin Mangs tossed the cigarette butt into an ashtray on the table and stretched. Oh, I was bored while you were away, and I remembered how satisfied you looked when you smoked every day, so I got a few packs to try. I actually got addicted to it. Cigarettes are pungent at first, but once you get used to it, it can help a person calm down. I guess it has its own uniqueness.
As if he had never left, Xia Fei changed Qin Mangs pot of tea as per usual and cleaned up the library. Then, the old man and the young man sat opposite each other, each holding a cigarette in their hands as they puffed out clouds of smoke.
Where did you go this time? Qin Mang asked curiously.
Xia Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly. All I can say is that it's a wondrous place, and I can't tell anyone about it due to some rules. If you trust me, you can stop asking.
"You can't tell anyone?"
"I can't."
Xia Fei was very honest, and Qin Mangs sighed in disappointment. Such a thing actually exists in this world? Well, everyone has their own secrets, so I won't pursue this matter any further. "
"Just now, I saw that your speed has improved quite a bit compared to before. It's very difficult to improve a Speed Ability. For you to be able to reach this level within a year, it can be seen that your experience must not be simple. What level are you now?"
"Mid Star Domain rank," Xia Fei said bluntly.
"Intermediate rank!" Qin Mang was slightly taken aback, but he soon regained his composure. To a speed ability user, the Intermediate Star Domain rank was already a terrifying height. Speed abilities were the hardest to improve among all the abilities, and Bosingwa had only managed to reach the Advanced Star Domain rank all his life. Ye Xiaohan, who was known to be extremely talented, was only at the Intermediate Star Domain rank, just like Xia Feis.
It should be mentioned that Bosingwa and Ye Xiaohan were instructors in the internal division, not to mention that Bosingwa was once a member of the Glorious Thirteen. For Xia Fei to be able to reach the Mid Star Domain rank at the age of nineteen was simply unheard of.
Old Sable, who was in Qin Mangs arms, walked lazily over to Xia Fei and meowed twice. Xia Fei smiled and hugged Old Sable in his arms, gently stroking its back with his right hand.
"Looks like Old Sable misses you. You should be able to rest for a while now that you're back. To be honest, you're not at all peaceful, always stirring up trouble every once in a while." Qin Mang laughed.
Xia Fei was speechless. This was not something he wanted, but it would always find him unintentionally. What could he do about it?
"I can't stay for too long this time. I need to report to Battalion Commander Ye this afternoon, so I'll be leaving tonight," Xia Fei said.
"So soon?" Qin Mangs eyebrows knitted together. "Just what are you doing? You're leaving so soon after coming back? "
Xia Fei thought about it and decided to tell him about Old Porters situation. Qin Mangs face revealed a strange smile after he heard what Xia Fei said.
"If that's the case, you really should go and take a look."
This time, it was Xia Fei who did not understand. It took him quite a while to convince himself to go to Black Abyss to look for Old Porters. After all, this journey would be fraught with danger, and no one could predict what would happen.
The reason why Xia Fei decided to take this risk was mainly due to his curiosity and his abnormally sharp intuition. His intuition told him that he should go and look for Old Porters, but Qin Mangs also felt that he should go, so what was the reason?
Just as he was thinking about it, Old Porters suddenly asked, "How much do you know about this Porters person?"
Xia Fei thought about it for a moment and vaguely answered, "I only had some contact with him in the warship graveyard. I know that he once served in the military, and after he retired, he opened an assembly factory in the warship graveyard, doing his old trade."
Xia Fei only told him a small part of it. He did not mention the fact that Old Porters overclocking chip and how he could write using meteoroids. These were all Old Porters secrets, and Xia Fei did not like others prying into his secrets, nor did he like telling others' secrets to others.
Qin Mangs nodded. "Since he asked you to go, you should go. In any case, Porter is a very unusual person, and it will be very beneficial for you to be with him."
Qin Mangs answer was equally vague, so Xia Fei did not pursue the matter. Qin Mangs obviously knew a few things about Old Porters, but he was unwilling to share them. When a person did not want to talk about it, asking would not yield any results.
Qin Mangs gave Xia Fei an unfathomable feeling, and since even Qin Mangs felt that Xia Fei should look for Porter, it only strengthened Xia Fei's determination to go to Black Abyss.
However, there were still a few things he needed to take care of before he left. He needed to go back and take a look at Quantum Holdings, and Xia Fei could not relax about Avril's current situation. The adorable lass had become a sore spot in Xia Fei's heart, and her sudden disappearance made Xia Fei restless.
These minute changes on Xia Fei's face did not escape Qin Mangs eyes. As an experienced man, he was an expert among experts when it came to reading people's expressions.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
Xia Fei forced a smile. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I suddenly lost contact with a friend, so I can't help but worry."
"Since you're worried, why don't you go and take a look for yourself?"
Xia Fei somewhat awkwardly asked. "I would've gone if I knew where she lives. That friend of mine is rather special. She's always been the one contacting me, and I don't know her at all."
Qin Mangs seemed to have expected this. He deliberately put on an unfathomable expression and said, "Are you talking about Avril?"
Xia Fei's heart skipped a beat. The fingers holding the cigarette trembled, and the butt nearly fell out.
Xia Fei had never told anyone about Avril, so how did Qin Mangs know about it?
"That's right. It's Avril. Do you know her?" Xia Fei asked, confused.
Qin Mangs laughed heartily, using his fat palm to pat Xia Fei on the shoulder. "Im not telling you."
He clearly knew, yet he was unwilling to tell him. What was he supposed to say? Xia Fei felt a wave of depression in his heart, and his chest ached from holding it in.
Qin Mangs looked at Xia Fei with satisfaction and laughed. "How is it? It doesn't feel good, does it? It's your fault for not telling me what you've been up to this past year, so don't even think about getting Avril's information from me."
Xia Fei was completely helpless. He had known Qin Mangs for quite some time, yet he had never realized that this chubby old man had such a vengeful side to him. Xia Fei was unwilling to tell him about what had happened on Heritage Planet, yet the old man immediately gave Xia Fei a hard time.
"I really can't tell you," Xia Fei said in a deep voice. Xia Fei said in a deep voice, his expression very serious. Xia Fei would not be careless when it came to matters of life and death. Even if he could never see Avrils face to face again, Xia Fei had to keep this a secret. Xia Fei knew very well which was more important.
Qin Mangs laughter came to an abrupt end. He had only been joking with Xia Fei to vent his anger, but who would have thought that Xia Fei's attitude would be so resolute? This was completely out of Qin Mangs expectations.
"So you really do have something you can't tell me," Qin Mangs muttered. "Looks like it's quite serious."
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows and nodded lightly.
"Avril came looking for you after you went missing, and she even personally went to the place you went missing to take a look. That lady seems to care a lot about you, but …"
Qin Mangs hesitated, suddenly laughing at himself as he muttered, "Why should an old man like me meddle in the affairs of the young?"
With that, Qin Mangs found a pen and paper and wrote down an address before handing it to Xia Fei.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, but your friend isn't the same as you. The two of you are too far apart," Qin Mangs said seriously. "As a person, you must act within your means."
Xia Fei did not understand what Qin Mangs meant. He hurriedly took the piece of paper and unfolded it, only to see an address written on it. "Khanid Star Region, Venal Galaxy, Capital Planet, Sunset Villa."
Khanid Star Region was the core of the entire Pan-Human Alliance. Its level of technology and prosperity were said to be the pinnacle of the Alliance, and the Pan-Human Alliance's capital was also located there.
This meant that Avril lived in a place called Sunset Villa in the Pan-Human Alliance's capital.
There were trillions of humans living in the universe, and those who could live in the Alliance's capital were even rarer. It was said that the capital planet had all sorts of strict entry rules, and the vast majority of humans would never be able to take a single step into the capital. Avril actually lived in the capital?
Xia Fei kept the piece of paper in his spatial ring and remained silent. His sharp intuition gave Xia Fei a very bad feeling, though he had no idea why.
"With your current conditions, there's no way for you to enter the capital, but I can help you get a temporary visa, allowing you to stay in the capital for 72 hours," Qin Mangs said.
Xia Fei thought for a moment before replying, "Thanks. Anyway, I'll be passing through Khanid Star Region on my way to Black Abyss, so I'd like to see her on the way."
Glancing at the time on his microcomputer, Xia Fei saw that it was already noon, and the meeting time with Ye Jingshan was about to arrive.
Xia Fei stood up and said, "Old man, I'm going to see Battalion Commander Ye; I'll come find you later."
