Undefeated for twenty-five years!
Chapter 662: Undefeated for twenty-five years!
The atmosphere in the living room was rather awkward. Due to physiological reasons, Sakura was unable to imitate a burly man to perfection. In all fairness, Sakura's impersonation was already very good, but she had only been seen through by Xia Fei, who had very sharp eyes.
Sakura did not say another word after hearing Xia Fei's words. She pursed her lips and twirled her fingers.
After some thought, Hyacinth asked, "How did you find out that my house was hidden in the bamboo forest?"
Xia Fei replied, "Based on common sense, as you're a top-notch impersonator, it's not appropriate for you to set up your house by the side of the road in such an obvious location. It's not in line with the habit of impersonators to hide themselves. As for the real house in the bamboo forest, it was a complete accident. I just felt that the bamboo forest was too lush and green, different from other places, so I only discovered the mystery behind it after destroying it."
Hyacinth nodded repeatedly and said in a deep voice, "The bamboo used for the disguise was moved here using the Law of Matter, so the roots were slightly damaged. I added some nutrient solution to fool others, but I didn't expect it to backfire, causing the bamboo forest to be too lush and not beautiful. Brother Ah Fei, I've learned a lot from your words."
Hyacinth's wife, Poria, was also full of praise, praising Xia Fei for his amazing eyesight and logical analysis. Sakura was very unconvinced. She put her hands on her hips, her thoughts unfathomable.
"When you used that dark red dagger to stab my daughter just now, you really gave me a fright. That aura made me think that you were really going to kill her." Hyacinth felt that the atmosphere was not good, so he teased Xia Fei with a smile.
Xia Fei shook his head. "That wasn't a threat. When Miss Sakura used the Law of Matter to burrow into the ground, I saw that her technique was immature and didn't pose much of a threat to me, so I gave up on the idea."
Everyone was stunned. Hyacinth asked, "Are you saying that if the impersonator was a threat to you, he'd already be dead by now?!"
"Yes. The impersonator of Seth could be an enemy, and I don't have the habit of letting my enemies go," Xia Fei said calmly.
Seth's face paled. This master of his was truly full of killing intent. If there came a day when he did something untoward to Xia Fei, there was no way Xia Fei would let him go!
Sakura was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that Xia Fei had only managed to survive because he saw how young she was. If her parents had disguised themselves as Seth, the consequences would have been …
You... Youre too ruthless! Sakura angrily yelled at Xia Fei before leaving the living room in a puff of smoke.
Feng Xinzi said somewhat awkwardly, "Ying 'er has been spoiled since she was young. Please don't blame her, Brother Ah Fei."
Actually, his thoughts were not much different from his daughter's. He also felt that Xia Fei was too ruthless, wanting to kill even a possible enemy, leaving no leeway and being unreasonable.
"I wonder why Brother Ah Fei is looking for me, Feng Xin Zi?" Feng Xin Zi asked.
Xia Fei cupped his hands. "I've long heard of your great name. You're the number one impersonator in Exiled Grounds, and I've always wanted to pay you a visit. Also, I do have some matters that require your assistance. Help me make a trip to White Horse Constellation."
Feng Xin Zi nodded. Xia Fei's flattery was very pleasing, and the grudge in his heart had somewhat eased, but it was still a long way from being intimate.
"Oh, White Horse Constellation. That's the headquarters of the humans of the God Race. It's heavily guarded, and there are many clans there. Our Purple Blood Rockies look very similar to humans, and it's said that we were distant relatives in ancient times. I wonder if Brother Ah Fei has heard of this?"
"Taiji Fist?" Xia Fei was a little depressed. Feng Xin Zi did not mention Xia Fei's request at all, instead talking about the similarities between the Purple Blood Rockies and humans. Needless to say, Feng Xin Zi was not willing to help him.
"Rumors can't be trusted, but it's very obvious that the Rockies and humans share some similarities. We humans have red blood, which is why most of our clansmen have ruddy faces. Nobles have the rare purple blood, and even their eyes are purple. They have an extra mysterious aura compared to humans, but aside from that, I really don't see any other differences," Xia Fei casually said.
The Rockies and humans were indeed very similar. Their eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, and ears were all the same, unlike the Lionhearts that Oro belonged to. They were tall and had golden fur all over their bodies, and there were hundreds of differences between them at a glance. Humans and the Rockies only had a few differences, and they were all hidden differences that could not be distinguished without looking closely.
After talking about Feng Xin Zi for so long, Xia Fei felt bored, so he took the initiative to talk about White Horse Constellation.
Feng Xin Zi had a troubled look on his face as he said in a low voice, "Brother Ah Fei might not know this, but though we Hyacinth used to be in the impersonation business, the two peak races have been getting tighter and tighter in recent years. Rumor has it that another war between the two races is imminent, and their defenses are getting tighter and tighter.
"It's fine if Brother Ah Fei asks us to infiltrate the ordinary regions of the two races, but White Horse Constellation is the core constellation of the God Race and the main city of the human race. Not only does it require an extremely high level of impersonation, but it also requires official procedures and complicated DNA authentication, making it truly difficult.
"Everyone has their own specialties. As the two major impersonation races in Exiled Grounds, the Shepherdians specialize in the God Race, while we, the Rockies, specialize in the Demon Race. Brother Ah Fei wants us to infiltrate White Horse Constellation, but that's not an area we specialize in.
"I heard that the Shepherdians have managed to find a way to enter the core region of the God Race, and they even recently accepted a big job, directly attacking the Dragon Ascension Conclave organized by the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall. I'm sure Brother Ah Fei knows that Dragon Ascension is the number one martial hall of the God Race, and its strength is extraordinary. For the Shepherdians to accept such a job is a testament to their strength.
"In order not to delay Brother Ah Fei's mission, it's better to ask the Shepherdians for help. After all, infiltrating the God Race is their specialty. It's not that I, Hyacinth, don't want to help, nor am I afraid of accepting the mission, but I don't want to delay Brother Ah Fei's mission."
It was a good speech, but not only did he not give Hyacinth any face, he even completely pushed Xia Fei's request away. In other words, everyone had their own specialties, and they specialize in the Demon Race. If you want to go to the God Race, look for the Shepherdians.
…
Back to Sakura, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. It was one thing for Xia Fei to see through the impersonation technique that she was so proud of, but did he really intend to kill her when he stabbed her with that sword? That was enough to hurt a fourteen-year-old girl's body and mind.
To a young lady, the world was always a beautiful place, filled with hope for the future. Sakura had no idea about the darkness in the outside world, nor did she know why Xia Fei had developed such a vicious style.
Sakura was quite stubborn, and it was very difficult to change her mind once she had made up her mind. Right now, Xia Fei was a complete villain in her heart, the worst and most vicious villain in the world.
"Sakura, who provoked you this time? Look at how angry you are. Grandpa will stand up for you. "Sakura was hiding in the bamboo forest alone when she was stopped by an old man and a young man walking toward her.
The old man's hair and beard were all white, and he was leaning on a walking stick, looking like he was having a hard time walking. The young man beside him was about the same age as Sakura, and his eyebrows were as thick as a landscape painting. It was none other than the young man that Hyacinth had impersonated before, except that this was the real person.
"Grandpa." Sakura pouted and ran to the old man like a spoiled child, hugging him and burying her face in his robes.
"Someone bullied me, and my parents didn't help me."
As expected of a descendant of an impersonator, Sakura did have a certain charm when she acted pitiful, making others feel sorry for her. Her voice was soft, but every word she said was like a knife that cut right into the heart.
"Sakura, who bullied you? Sambo will teach him a lesson for you, "the young man said with a red face.
The boy said with a red face. He seemed to be very shy. He looked very unnatural when he saw Sakura, and his thick eyebrows kept twitching.
Hyacinth was a group, and everyone in the group was more or less related to each other. The old man was Sakura's biological grandfather, the famous impersonator Otter of the Exiled Grounds.
In the past, the purple-blooded Rockies had always preferred to act alone. Though it made it easier for them to hide their tracks, they would not be able to complete the mission if they received a large order, which was very limited.
Sakura's father, Hyacinth, had great foresight. He believed that if the Rockies continued to stick to their old ways, they would be eliminated sooner or later, so they had to change the situation and form a powerful combat group, utilizing everyone's strengths and characteristics to form a team so that they could deal with larger and more complicated infiltration missions.
Thus, Hyacinth gathered all the members of the family and proposed this idea. The old-fashioned Rockies were naturally vehemently against it, and even Hyacinth's father, Otter, did not agree. After arguing for three days and three nights, they finally came up with a compromise. Hyacinth and his wife, Poria, would be the first to test it out, and they would discuss it again if the results were good.
Thus, Hyacinth and Poria began to go out and carry out various missions. Having a capable helper was equivalent to having an extra arm, and they were successful in every endeavor. Seeing the benefits, the clansmen naturally no longer objected, and they all requested to join the group.
Hyacinth specially selected the best elites of the clan to join the group. Coupled with his rather good management skills, the name "Hyacinth" gradually spread, becoming a golden signboard, and the asking price also skyrocketed. Seth's price of three hundred grade 4 Origin Crystals per day was a price from ten years ago. After all, he had not seen Hyacinth for ten years, so he had no idea that the price had increased by a full tenfold! Three thousand a day!
As for the other great race of impersonators, the Shepherdians, they were ruthless by nature and had the bad habit of devouring other sapient species. Under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to hire Shepherdians unless it was a mission that involved destruction or assault. Just like the tragedy at the Dragon Ascension Conclave, it was a case of utter destruction that did not require much skill.
The benefits of expanding Hyacinth's group were obvious. After accepting a mission, there would immediately be someone who would begin the preliminary preparations, the mid-stage setup, and the late-stage escape. There would be those in charge of impersonation, and those in charge of combat. Every one of them had their own duties, and they operated with precision. This was also the reason for the one hundred percent success rate of the mission.
If Xia Fei could convince Hyacinth, he would not be getting just himself but an elite team that had not tasted defeat in twenty-five years! From this point alone, three thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals per day was not too outrageous.
"You're talking about that young man who came today, right? That person's not bad. He has good eyesight and analytical skills. If he's nurtured further, he might just become an even better impersonator than your father," Elder Otter said as he stroked his beard, seemingly quite appreciative of Xia Fei.
Saying that Xia Fei was better than her father? Miss Sakura became even angrier. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.
"Actually, I also think that Ah Fei is quite talented, being able to see through my father's impersonation. I'm just angry that he doesn't leave any leeway in his words," Sakura mumbled, pretending to be aggrieved.
"What did he say?" Elder Otter curiously asked.
"He said that Hyacinth has an undeserved reputation, that he can't even fool an amateur like him, and that he's not fit to be called an impersonator."
Sakura observed her grandfather's expression as she spoke, only to see Elder Otter's light purple face turn green on the spot! His long silver hair stood on end as he fumed!
"Aiya! That's just too much! "Otter raged.
