Miss Allen
There was no denying that Hua Hei and Hua Bai's suggestion was extremely tempting. Xia Fei's heart skipped a beat. Ever since he had obtained the Blood Crystal, Xia Fei had not been able to let go of it. None of the weapons in the past could compare to it. Things like October Flying Snow and Dragonscale Hectoslasher were all famous weapons, but the Blood Crystal's crazy sucking power made them all pale in comparison.
If he had a chance to use the Celestial Zerohammer to synthesize a divine weapon again, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity for Xia Fei. Even though artificially synthesizing a divine weapon was very risky, and no one knew what it would look like after the synthesis, there was a chance that a heaven-defying blade like the Blood Crystal would appear.
With this thought in mind, Xia Fei nodded. He took the piece of paper from Hua Hei and said, "I'll definitely consider it, but I wonder if this artificer is reliable?"
Hua Hei laughed heartily and shook his head. "Of course not. The more high-end an artificer is, the more crafty an Apothecary will be. Me introducing you to him is one thing, but whether or not you can convince him to help you is another matter. It'll all depend on your luck."
Xia Fei was speechless. The Celestial Zerohammer's structure was complicated, and it would probably consume a high-end artificer's entire life's savings and effort. There was no reason for it to be activated so easily, but he could still try his luck. In any case, he would not lose anything.
"Alright, all good things must come to an end. It's fate that we brothers were able to meet you this time. The Primeval Battlefield is far from as safe as we imagined it to be. We'll be leaving this place after you leave," Hua Hei and Hua Bai said with a smile.
Xia Fei replied, "Then we'll meet again. I wish you good luck."
"You too." Hua Hei and Hua Bai said together. "If there's any news, I'll let you know through the compass. It's impossible for you to find us."
…
Watching Xia Fei leave, Hua Hei muttered to himself, "Not bad, young man. Do you want to rope him in?"
Hua Bai shook his head. "It's still too early. Our goal is the Cosmic Gate. Perhaps Xia Fei will have his own position in this universe in the future, but he's not enough to be of any help to us right now. We can take care of him as a good seedling for now."
Hua Hei chuckled. "Does that mean you think highly of him?"
Hua Bai nodded and said, "Looking well is one thing, whether or not he can stand up is another matter. How many geniuses have died in recent years? I just think that Xia Fei is too independent and doesn't like to rely on others. Be it us or those old fellows, it's very difficult to rope him in. "
Hua Hei sighed and said in a low voice, "Yeah, it's another strange fellow. Let's go as well. This Primeval Battlefield has obviously been entered by an expert, and it isn't a place we can stay for long."
Hua Bai looked very upset, but he didn't say anything. The two brothers' days of living without a place to stay were far from over, and it was all thanks to his elder brother.
…
Wind Garden.
Xia Fei left quickly and returned just as quickly. All in all, he had gained a lot from this trip to the Primordial Battlefield. Not only had he increased his cultivation, but he had also obtained the Beast Spirit Pearl. Even the identity of the Black and White Gods had been slowly unraveled. The only pity was that he had not obtained the Law of Time, the lost law power of the God Race.
"Where did you come back from?" Xia Fei bumped into Xia Zonghai the moment he entered. It was currently morning in the White Horse Constellation, and Xia Zonghai had packed up, looking like he was going to the Law Enforcement Board.
"Oh, I just went for a stroll," Xia Fei casually said, not mentioning anything about the Primordial Battlefield at all.
Suddenly, Xia Fei thought of something and turned to leave with Xia Zonghai.
"It just so happens that I'm also going to the Law Enforcement Board. Let's go together," Xia Fei said.
Xia Zonghai smiled. "Sure. Are you going to the Law Enforcement Board to look for that kid from the Lang Family?"
Xia Fei nodded. "I'm going to look for Lang Shunye, but before that, I want to see Old Woods."
Xia Zonghai was very puzzled. "Woods? He doesn't often go to the Law Enforcement Board, so you'll have to go to his home. Forget it. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll take you there. "
Xia Fei repeatedly agreed, and the two of them walked side by side.
The White Horse Constellation had long since returned to its former prosperity, as if the expulsion of the Yue Clan did not have too much of an impact here.
"Did you know? The humans lost again this time," Xia Zonghai said with a shrug.
Xia Fei curiously asked, "What lost again?"
Xia Zonghai replied, "You don't know? That kid from the Feng Family didn't look for you to join them? "
Xia Fei recalled that Zanian had indeed looked for him two months ago, though he did not say what it was about.
"The Dragon Ascension Martial Hall holds a tournament every three years, and this year, the humans drew the powerful Sunnis. Zanian went around recruiting experts, but he still suffered a crushing defeat. All the great clans felt humiliated, so they've all strengthened their training for the younger generation. The White Horse Constellation is now much more deserted than it was in the past."
The Law Realm was a place where there were all kinds of races, and humans were not the only ones. The Dragon Ascension Martial Hall's tournament was based on race. It turned out that Zanian wanted Xia Fei to join Dragon Ascension as soon as possible because of the tournament.
Xia Zonghai shrugged. "Actually, the human race is only considered a medium-sized race in the entire Law Realm. The Feng Family has been able to control the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall for so many years only because of the favor from above. Now that the favor is gone, the Feng Family is done for. This has nothing to do with our Heaven's Wings, so it's good that you didn't go. Our family doesn't need to give anyone anything."
Xia Zonghai's words were full of arrogance, and Xia Fei could only shrug.
As they were talking, they arrived at the front of Old Woods's house. It was a rather grand residence, but unfortunately, the front yard was deserted, making it seem rather lonely.
"This is Old Woods's house. I won't be going in with you. Ever since he lost his daughter, he's been in a daze. I don't want to see him wiping his tears early in the morning." Xia Zonghai pointed. "Go home early tonight. I have some things I need to tell you."
The two parted ways there. Xia Zonghai went to the Law Enforcement Board to find someone to play chess with, while Xia Fei knocked on Old Woods's door.
The one who opened the door was an old man with a deep frown on his face. He looked like he had a lot on his mind. He led Xia Fei to the living room and ordered a maid to serve tea before he went into the inner courtyard to invite Old Woods out.
With nothing to do, Xia Fei stood in the living room and looked around. There were a few pictures hanging on the wall, and one of them was of Old Woods hugging his granddaughter, Allen. Woods was in high spirits in the picture, looking much younger than he was now.
"Does she look familiar?" Xia Fei pointed at Allen in the picture.
Oro was slightly taken aback, muttering to himself, "Hmm? I really have seen her before, but why can't I remember where? "
Xia Fei laughed. "Do you still remember when I deciphered one of Woods's fractal geometric pictures, and the result was actually a song called Rising and Sinking Stars?"
Oro thought about it for a few moments before he exclaimed in shock, "I remember now! Isn't that the lady we met in the Primordial Battlefield was her? And that strange song was also Rising and Sinking Stars!"
Xia Fei nodded, not saying a word.
Back then, Xia Fei only felt that the song was very familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before. It was only later that he realized that this lady was Woods' daughter, and that song was Rising and Sinking Stars.
Woods' daughter was actually related to the lost Law of Time. Xia Fei could not help but feel that the world was very big and very small at the same time. Two seemingly unrelated matters actually had some kind of subtle connection.
That was when Old Woods came into the living room, sighing. He felt some warmth in his heart when he saw that it was Xia Fei. After all, it was Xia Fei who had unraveled the knot in his heart for many years, unraveling that infinitely mysterious fractal picture.
As the host and guest sat down, Xia Fei did not directly state the reason for his visit. Instead, he took a roundabout way and talked to Old Woods about the results of his search for his daughter.
Sure enough, the moment Xia Fei started the conversation, Old Woods began to pour out his troubles to Xia Fei. It was no wonder that Xia Zonghai refused to let him in. Most people would not be able to handle Old Woods' snot and tears.
It was inevitable for people to feel sad, and to Woods, being sad was already a normal thing. Even if he met a stranger, he would involuntarily cry and complain to them to relieve the depression in his heart, let alone Xia Fei, who had helped him before.
Xia Fei listened patiently, storing every piece of information that he thought was valuable into his heart. It seemed like it had been a long time since Old Woods had shared his troubles with someone, treating Xia Fei as a close friend, talking about everything.
…
It was close to noon when Xia Fei finally walked out of Woods's house. If not for Xia Fei's trick to escape, Old Woods would have kept him there for three days and three nights.
"It doesn't seem like the disappearance of Woods's daughter has anything to do with the Law of Time," Oro said, shaking his head. At first, he was still interested in listening to Woods talk about Miss Allen, but as time went on, the old demon lord grew impatient. After all, it took a lot of patience to listen to someone cry and complain.
Xia Fei shook his head. "There are three details. First, Allen has an extremely high IQ and talent in music. Second, Allen is fond of mysticism. Third, many years before her disappearance, she began to behave strangely, not liking interacting with people her age."
The old demon lord was confused. "What does any of this have to do with anything? What can you deduce from these three conditions? "
Xia Fei smiled. "Religion. I feel that Miss Allen's disappearance has something to do with religion."
"Religion?" Oro was even more confused. He whispered, "Law force is the biggest religion in the circle, and everyone likes it. Aside from that, I've never heard of religion being popular."
Xia Fei replied, "All the signs point to Allen being a natural believer of religion. Because she's smart, she has a lot of worries in her heart. Because she's indecisive and lacks obsession, she's easily used by religion."
The old demon lord shook his head. "I didn't think that you'd actually study religion, even knowing what kind of people are suitable to join a religion. Then, who do you think will never be religious?"
The corner of Xia Fei's lips curled up, and he strangely said, "I'm like this."
