Receiving the family assembly order meant that the Skywing Clan needed him now!
Being duty-bound, Xia Fei got up, packed his things, and strode off without any hesitation.
Xia Fei unexpectedly bumped into three people when he reached the corridor. It was the director of Fig Corporation's Fourth Research Division, Mu Qian, and his assistant, Muenba. Following behind them was the current director of 137 Research Institute, Cai Lu, who had an ugly expression on his face.
"Yingfei, you came just in time. Let me introduce you. This is our immediate superior, the director of Fourth Research Division, Mu Qian, and this is Muenba's assistant," Cai Lu called out to Xia Fei and barely managed to introduce himself.
He had a very awkward expression on his face. After all, he was the one who had thrown Xia Fei into the maintenance team. Now that Xia Fei was in the limelight in the company, even beating a genius like Chu Jing, it was a harsh slap to the face. Not only was it a slap to Chu Jing's face, but even Cai Lu's face was burning with pain.
Many people knew that Cai Lu had been kicked out of the Fourth Division by Flynn, and since Xia Fei was Professor Flynn's disciple in name, everyone believed that Cai Lu was using his position to avenge him when he was thrown into the lowly maintenance team.
It would have been fine if Xia Fei had not been in the limelight. Every year, there would be tens of thousands of top students from Flowerless Star Academy joining the company. No one would care if one of them was missing, but Xia Fei was in the limelight! Even Chu Jing, the only graduate from the Eternal Branch in the last 150 years, could not beat Xia Fei. Was there anything more bizarre than that?
However, Xia Fei's slap was too harsh. It was not just Cai Lu and Chu Jing who were slapped in the face. Those old fogeys from the Eternal Branch probably hated Xia Fei to the bone as well.
"Hahahaha! As expected of a top talent from the independent branch. Your future is limitless!" Mu Qian, the director of Fourth Research Division, warmly grabbed Xia Fei and started chatting with him.
"The battle between you and Chu Jing today was truly an eye-opener. Not only was it exciting, but you even broke the company's record for solving a problem in a single hour! It will forever be recorded in the company's history! "
Mu Qian was a bit of a bureaucrat, able to boast without batting an eyelid. Xia Fei was unmoved. At this very moment, his mind had already flown to Snow Wind Demonic Wing City, secretly guessing just what had happened in the clan.
Looking at the dim corridor, Mu Qian couldn't help but frown and ask in a deep voice, "Superintendent Cai, what's wrong with you!? How can the strongest genius of Division 4, no, the entire Fig Corporation live in a place like this?! "
Cai Lu's face paled. He had already expected Mu Qian to suppress him and put on a show for Xia Fei. Everyone knew that Xia Fei had done such a sensational feat today. Let alone the 137 Research Institute, even the fourth division would not be able to hold him back. He would have to go to the next division sooner or later!
Being able to enter this round was akin to ascending to the heavens in a single bound. It would be strange if Mu Qian did not take the opportunity to curry favor with Cai Lu, and Cai Lu could only be a sacrifice.
Sure enough, Mu Qian deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Director Cai, which research group does Yingfei currently work in?"
When Cai Lu heard this, he almost fell to the ground. By now, who didn't know that the company had produced the best maintenance worker in history? Mu Qian was asking a question he already knew the answer to. He wanted to embarrass himself greatly!
"In the maintenance team," Cai Lu whispered.
Whoosh ~
Mu Qian's eyeballs immediately stood up.
"Maintenance team! You let the company's best seedlings enter the maintenance team! Director Cai, is there something wrong with your head?! "
Cai Lu hurriedly said, "The maintenance team is understaffed, so I got Yingfei to help out for a few days. It's not a real arrangement. From today onward, Yingfei doesn't need to go to the maintenance team. I'm planning to let him take over as the deputy team leader of the mechanical dynamics research group."
"There's no need for that!" Mu Qian waved his hand and coldly said, "If this is the attitude of 137 Research Institute, Yingfei doesn't need to stay here anymore. The stress testing laboratory in Division 4 needs a research assistant, and Yingfei is the perfect candidate."
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. He was not in the mood to listen to this bunch of nonsense. All he saw was Xia Fei suddenly speeding away as he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, everyone, but I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. Also, I don't like people choosing where to go for me. The maintenance team is great, so I wish to continue staying there."
With that, Xia Fei actually left, leaving the three of them in the dark hallway.
'As expected of a freak from an independent institute,' Mu Qian thought to himself. Mu Qian thought to himself. He turned around to look at the sweating Cai Lu. This man was annoying no matter how he looked at him, so he threw all his anger at him.
"Director Cai, I can see that you're not doing very well in 137 Research Institute. How about this? You can report to the landscaping department tomorrow. The old director there just happened to retire, and they're lacking a suitable replacement."
Cai Lu felt his head go numb. The landscaping department was responsible for greening the area. Fig Corporation's flowers and trees were all cultivated mechanically, so the landscaping department was actually responsible for maintaining those landscaping machinery! They were maintenance workers that were a grade lower than the maintenance team!
Without giving Cai Lu any chance to argue, Mu Qian left, leaving Cai Lu there without a care.
Flynn had kicked Cai Lu out of Division 4 and into 137 Research Institute back then. Cai Lu had spent a long time to climb up to the director's position, but in the end, he was kicked into the landscaping department by a disciple that Flynn had never even seen before! Each time was more ruthless than the last!
…
Snowstorm Demonwing City. Thousands of miles were covered in ice and snow.
"So, this is Demonwing City?" Xia Fei stood outside the city and took a look before striding inside.
Demonwing City's structure was much more complicated than Wind Garden's. Nine winding corridors were connected, and countless courtyards were stacked on top of each other. Anyone who was inside could easily sense the unique sharpness of the Demon Sealing Blade!
Unlike Wind Garden, which kept a low profile, Demonwing City was full of danger! Overbearing killing intent!
The atmosphere in the city was tense, and Xia Fei saw many of his tribesmen along the way. All of them had solemn looks on their faces as if something was happening.
Xia Fei only knew Xia Guanghai and Xia Xia. Now that Xia Guanghai was out on a mission and Xia Guanghai was cultivating in seclusion, all he saw were unfamiliar faces.
The moment they met, everyone nodded at Xia Fei, becoming acquainted with him. The tribesmen had already heard about Xia Fei and Xia Guanghai before coming here, so though this was their first meeting, there was no sense of alienation.
Five Empyrean Winged Warlock Saints were already calmly standing in the front yard. At this moment, they were all fully equipped and wearing armor. They were gathered together and whispering to each other. Upon seeing Xia Fei, the five Warlock Saints greeted him. Xia Fei could guess that he was probably going to be working with them.
"Xia Fei, come here," Xia Ke sternly said from nearby.
Xia Fei walked over and greeted Xia Ke and Xia Lianning, the two peak Warlock Saints. Now that the patriarch was not around, the two of them were responsible for all the tribesmen's affairs.
After the introductions were over, the three of them sat around the patriarch's study. This was Xia Fei's first time in Demonwing City, so he was naturally very curious about everything in the city. When he learned that this was the residence of the patriarch whom he had never met before, Xia Fei was startled and could not help but take a few more glances. However, the patriarch was not in Demonwing City, leaving Xia Fei somewhat disappointed.
"It's like this. The patriarch originally planned to have you establish yourself in the God Race as a test, but things have changed, so we had no choice but to summon you to Demonwing City. As for the patriarch's mission, we'll continue with it after this matter is over," Xia Lianning sternly said.
Xia Fei nodded. "I understand, but what is it?"
"It's important," Xia Ke sternly said.
Xia Fei was startled and pricked up his ears to listen.
"You've already met Xia Guanghai. He's now leading a small team from the tribesmen to a distant turbid region. The turbid region is very complicated, with normal space and dark space intertwining. It's a bizarre and dangerous place."
Turbid? Xia Fei suddenly thought of a problem. According to the records of the Atlanteans, their clan had discovered the original Beast Spirit Codex in the turbid star region. Who could have imagined that this method of controlling all beasts would become the root of their clan's destruction? Not long after, they disappeared from the Law Realm forever.
Now, Xia Guanghai was also carrying out a mission in the turbid region. Could there be some connection?
Xia Lianning paused for a moment before continuing. "Xia Guanghai led his men into the turbid region precisely because our patriarch requested it. According to him, Heaven's Wings is in dire need of the support of Immemorial Mystical Armaments!"
With that, Xia Ke and Xia Lianning turned to Xia Fei's right arm. It was no secret that the Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue was hidden there. Everyone knew that it was one of the things that Xia Fei had relied on to make a name for himself.
Xia Fei curiously asked, "He needs Immemorial Mystical Armaments? There are thirty Immemorial Mystical Armaments, and every one of them is very powerful, but there's no need to go to war over them, right? "
Xia Ke shook his head. "The patriarch didn't explain, but we're guessing that it has something to do with the recent instability of the Cosmic Gate."
Xia Fei was startled. The Cosmic Gate was also something he was concerned about.
Xia Lianning continued Xia Ke's words. "The Law Realm isn't infinite. With the Law Realm as the center, the two peak races control an area of ten trillion lightyears. Everything beyond that is the territory of the dark beings. Now that the Cosmic Gate is beginning to destabilize, those dark beings hiding in the distant stars are also beginning to make a move."
"Beings in the darkness?!" Xia Fei suddenly felt his heart palpitate. It turned out that there was more than one form of life in the universe. In the Law Realm, even if all the intelligent lifeforms were of different races, there was not much difference between them.
Take the old demon lord Oro's Lionhearts for example. They were covered in golden fur and had huge bodies, but they also had two eyes and a mouth. While they looked different from humans, there was no essential difference between them. Who knew what these so-called dark beings looked like?
If the outer perimeter of the Law Realm was the territory of the dark beings, then it would be far too dangerous!
The universe was so vast that there was practically no end to it. Who knew how many intelligent but evil and cruel lifeforms were hidden in those unknown stars!
If all these dark beings were to become enemies with the Law Realm, it would undoubtedly be a battle to the death!
