"You're saying that candidate called Xia Fei might have the Skywing bloodline?" Busey sternly asked.
Zanian smiled. "I got the feeling. Do you remember that eccentric old man Xia Zonghai in the Law Enforcement Board?"
"I do. A stubborn old man who doesn't care about anything. He's a classic example of the Skywing bloodline," Busey answered. From his tone, it seemed like the Skywing Clan did not have a good reputation in the circle.
Zanian Feng smiled. "That day, I snuck over to watch the assessment and noticed that Xia Fei had a different aura when he went berserk. It was rather similar to that old man Xia Zonghai of the Law Enforcement Board, so I began to suspect Xia Fei's background.
"The same surname Xia and the same aura. That's too much of a coincidence. As for whether or not he's from the Skywing Clan, I can't say for sure. In any case, that overbearing aura is very similar to that of the Skywing Clan."
"The same surname Xia and the same aura. Isn't that too much of a coincidence? As for whether or not he's from the Skywing Clan, I can't say for sure. In any case, that overbearing aura is very similar to that of someone from the Skywing Clan."
Busey leaned back and thought for a few moments.
"I've seen Xia Fei's background. He's from a small planet in the Alliance called Earth. If he's from the Skywing bloodline, there's no reason for him to not live in the White Horse Constellation, much less go to the tiny Yu family," Busey muttered to himself.
Zanian shrugged. "Uncle Busey, it's not like you don't know the temperament of the Skywing Clan. Their family is the most unreasonable, capable of doing anything. Their entire family is filled with lunatics, and they can't be judged by common sense at all."
Busey was speechless. "You're right. The Skywing Clan isn't considered a large clan in the circle, but they're extremely troublesome and can't be judged by common sense. If Xia Fei really is from the Skywing Clan, that'll be very bad."
The two of them fell silent. It seemed that the name of the Skywing Clan had made Busey hesitate. This was very unusual. The mighty Dragon Ascension Martial Hall did not even fear the Nine Great Clans, yet it was so cautious of a Skywing Clan that did not belong to the Nine Great Clans.
"Zanian, have you told your father about this?" Busey asked.
Zanian shook his head. "He has so many things to do. How can I disturb him if I'm not sure?"
Nodding, Busey said in a deep voice, "Then how do you think we should deal with today's situation?"
Zanian replied, "Elder Nie Ying acted on impulse and broke the rules of the dojo, and there's no way to hide it. On the other hand, no one knows that Xia Fei used some method to control the exotic beasts. If you deal with Elder Nie Ying without punishing Xia Fei, given Elder Nie's personality, he won't be able to accept it. Dealing with Xia Fei without dealing with Elder Nie will only make things even more troublesome if the Skywing Tribe finds out."
Busey nodded repeatedly in agreement with Zanian's words.
"Why don't you just treat this page as a blank page?"
"Over?"
"That's right. The fourth round of the test is invalid, and no one will look into it. We can just pretend that nothing happened."
"This …" Busey let out a long sigh. "It really is a good idea."
Zanian Feng continued. "As for whether or not Xia Fei is a member of the Skywing Race, there's no need to worry about it. In the future, all we need to do is strictly manage him during the assessment. If today's situation doesn't happen again, everything will be fine."
Standing up, Busey patted Zanian on the shoulder. "Not bad. You're becoming more and more like your mother. We'll do as you say."
…
It was another early morning, and Xia Fei quietly packed his luggage and left the Yu family.
He had been forced to kill the family patriarch Yujiang's friend, but Xia Fei did not complain too much. Even if the patriarch blamed him, it was still better than exposing Lionheart Emperor Oro.
If someone left, someone else would naturally come. Xia Fei went to the White Horse Constellation, but even more people were converging on the Yu family from all directions. The murder last night did not cause too much of a stir in the clan, and the patriarch, Yujiang, had not expressed his stance, either. It seemed that Yuhua's decision to have Xia Fei leave so quickly was a little too cautious.
In the White Horse Constellation, in a very unremarkable inn, Xia Fei sat by the window, using the sunlight to carefully observe the Blood Crystal.
Having absorbed the blood essence of a Law Sovereign, the Blood Crystal had become even more crystalline and translucent. Its scarlet appearance made it look very beautiful under the sunlight.
"I'd like to bask in the sun for a while," Lionheart Emperor Oro said.
Xia Fei rolled his eyes at him. "I'd advise you to just stay in the ring. Last night, when I was looking at the stars, I ended up seeing a lot of trouble. If I get exposed because of this, it won't be a good thing for either of us. If not for Yuhua covering for me, the consequences might have been even worse."
Oro frowned. "That person's concealment technique is very ingenious. I was too preoccupied with my own thoughts to notice, but I'll definitely notice it next time."
"There's a next time?" Xia Fei grumpily asked.
Putting away the Blood Crystal, Xia Fei walked down the street and headed for the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall.
"Xia Fei, where have you been these past two days?" Ludi came up to him from afar, his complexion not very good, and there was a tinge of vexation on it.
"The results of the fourth round have been annulled, and everyone's scores are returned to zero. You weren't punished, either."
Xia Fei nodded. This was a result he had not expected, but being able to continue participating in the Dragon Ascension Conclave was not necessarily a bad thing for him. He knew how powerful the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall was, and if he wanted to one day become a member of the God Race or even get close to the Cosmic Gate, the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall was unquestionably Xia Fei's first choice, a shortcut.
"You're fine, but it's a pity that my hard-earned full score was forcefully annulled," Ludi said with some vexation. "I even boasted about it to my family. What would I do if the old man found out?" Ludi was rather vexed.
Xia Fei ignored Ludi's nagging. What hard-earned score? Wasn't it Xia Fei who had given him the full score? This fellow actually thought that it was his luck.
Though the fourth round had been annulled, the scores for the secret test were distributed as usual. Xia Fei's score was twenty, and though it was not high, it was no longer a negative score. He had escaped the embarrassment of being in last place.
After reading the notice and the results, Xia Fei planned to leave. He had killed Yujiang's friend, and Yuhua had told him to keep a low profile for the time being.
Suddenly, seven or eight youths in their twenties blocked Xia Fei's path, looking very aggressive. They all had nameplates on their chests with the word "Bright" written on them. It appeared that they were from the Brightsea Clan of the Nine Great Clans.
Shrugging, Xia Fei planned to take two steps around them. After all, Yuhua had just told him to keep a low profile, and he did not want to provoke any trouble.
However, when these youths saw Xia Fei take a detour, they blocked his path as if they were intentionally looking for trouble.
Xia Fei did not move. His eyes coldly swept over these youths, memorizing their appearances.
The youths from the Ming Clan made a path, and a freckled man made his way through the crowd, swaggering up to Xia Fei.
Next to Xia Fei was Ludi, nicknamed the Playboy. He was wearing an expensive silk handmade suit that was abnormally bright, and he had a purple gold python on his waist and a cat's eye necklace on his wrist. As he walked, he would often attract the gazes of young ladies.
Compared to this freckled man, Ludi's radiance immediately dimmed. The cat's eye necklace was no longer eye-catching, and the purple gold python even looked rather shabby.
As for Xia Fei, who was usually plain and simple, he was even more out of the picture. The freckled man was covered in jewels that would make even noblewomen vomit blood with envy. They sparkled under the sunlight as if they were afraid that others would not know how rich they were. Just the Bitter Ink Gold Jade Ring on his left hand was worth no less than ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals!
Fortunately, he was born in the Brightsea Clan. If he were the scion of some minor clan, he would have long since been targeted by others.
"You're Xia Fei?" the freckled man held his hands behind his back and asked in a strange tone.
Xia Fei lightly nodded. He had always had a very unrestrained temperament. Even if he wore the cheapest sportswear and stood in front of a rich scion, he would not feel the slightest bit unnatural.
This nonchalant attitude made the rich young man furious. He believed that poor people should feel inferior, but Xia Fei did not feel the slightest bit of this. His lips curled in contempt as if he did not care about the rich young man at all.
"Miss Fuping of the Mu Clan isn't on the same level as you. If you know what's good for you, stay away from her," the freckled man said, suppressing his disgust for Xia Fei.
"Mu Fuping?" Xia Fei asked.
"You dare to call Miss Fuping by her name?" the freckled man said in frustration.
"If I can't call her by her name, what's the point of giving her that name?"
"You!"
The freckled man was very vexed, but he suppressed it. He repeatedly told himself to pay attention to his demeanor. After all, he was a member of the Nine Great Clans, so he could not get angry at a nobody like Xia Fei.
"In short, remember that Miss Fuping is a member of the Nine Great Clans. She's not someone a nobody like you can approach. The Yu Clan? As long as I give the word, even the patriarch of the Yu Clan will have to lower his head to me! Take a good look at the insignia on my chest! "
After saying this, the freckled man turned and left. Today was very strange. Whether in terms of background or wealth, he far surpassed Xia Fei, but in front of Xia Fei, he felt like he was the beggar. In particular, Xia Fei's attitude of not caring about anyone seemed to have been imprinted in his bones from birth, making it very difficult for others to imitate him.
"I forgot," Xia Fei indifferently said.
The freckled man turned his head and stared at Xia Fei in disbelief.
"Say that again?"
"I forgot what you told me just now," Xia Fei slowly said.
The surrounding crowd let out a series of sighs and chuckles. There were quite a few examinees in front of Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, and these warriors from small clans did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of the people of the Nine Great Clans, but Xia Fei had used the most contemptuous attitude to retort, earning him plenty of attention.
The kind-hearted were worried for Xia Fei, but even more were gloating. Offending someone from the Nine Great Clans would not end well, especially a nobody like Xia Fei who had no backing.
Phantom covered his face with one hand and sighed. He understood Xia Fei's personality very well. It was like a spring, the more it was pressed, the stronger it would become. That unerasable stubbornness was beginning to flare up again.
In the distance, a white-clothed youth's eyes flashed. He was Zanian Feng, the youngest son of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall's master. Zanian Feng seemed to be very satisfied with Xia Fei's temperament, muttering to himself, "Similar. Truly too similar."
The laughter of the crowd was very grating, and to the freckled man, it was undoubtedly mocking.
* Whoosh! *
A small silver dagger appeared in his hand, the tip pointed at Xia Fei's throat. The freckled man swallowed and sternly said, "Say that again and you'll die!"
Xia Fei's lips curled up, and he opened his mouth. At the same time, his left hand lightly touched his spatial ring.
"No! He's a member of the Nine Great Clans! "Phantom cried out in alarm.
