"How could I have fallen asleep in someone else's house without any warning?" Li Xiang rubbed his head as he got up. He was lying on the bed alone. His memories of the previous night were a bit messy. He remembered that he was forced to stay after completing the deal with Zhang Xixi.
"You're awake. Have some breakfast. I'll send you back to the Polar Night assembly. If you want to go to the Sky Arena, send me a message and I'll come pick you up." Zhang Xixi was busy in the kitchen. She was naked except for a pink apron. She held a spatula in her hand as she shouted at Li Xiang.
After breakfast, the two returned to the flashy Crimson Tiger. Zhang Xixi drove Li Xiang back to the Polar Night. Like Lei Xiong, she had the right to enter the Polar Night freely. However, she only sent him to the door before preparing to leave. She seemed to be quite afraid of the Chief Instructor.
"I'll talk to you later. Don't leave anything behind." Zhang Xixi waved the communicator in her hand and got back into the Crimson Tiger.
Li Xiang returned to the dining hall that night. The ten tenth batch graduates were gathered here. Everyone was sitting in their original seats. He walked over to Ming Xu and asked in a low voice, "How's the Assassination Department?"
"It's quite interesting." Ming Xu lowered her head and smiled. This was the second time Li Xiang had seen her smile. Unfortunately, that beautiful smile disappeared in less than a second.
For her to be interested, it seemed that the Assassination Department was similar to the Mechanical Department. It was not an ordinary organization.
Everyone else's faces were brimming with excitement. This way, they would officially graduate from Polar Night. Their future path would be very broad. In a sense, they had indeed reached the realm where they could leap freely in the vast sea and fly freely in the sky.
The Chief Instructor and Priest Cantrey gave them a few final blessings. They wished that they would be able to enter the university of their dreams and survive the Polar Night. After that, they officially announced the start of a month of free time.
One month later, the most important final trial would be held in October. It was also the first major event Li Xiang had to attend after leaving Hou City. He looked up. Everyone seemed to have already made plans. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they all left.
"Ah Xiang, wait." Chen Fan waved at him and motioned for him to go to the restroom to chat. On the other side, Ji Yanqing also found Ming Xu.
The two of them went to the toilet. Chen Fan fiddled with his chest for a while and took out a crumpled cigarette.
"Here, do you want one?" Chen Fan chuckled and lit a cigarette for himself. Then, he took a deep puff. "These cigarettes are the best that you can't buy on the market. They're specially supplied by the military."
"It does taste good." Li Xiang lit a fire. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the last day of his previous life. He and Chen Fan had also leaned against the windowsill and smoked like this. The two of them had gone from old enemies to close friends who could talk about anything. Perhaps from the beginning, other than their different standpoints, the two of them had never treated each other as real enemies.
Even in the end, Chen Fan was still admonishing him not to go down the path of no return. Perhaps to him, losing an enemy like himself was also driving him crazy.
Fortunately, in this life, the two of them did not have to kill each other.
After finishing the cigarette, Chen Fan said softly, "The black box that Polar Night gave you contained information about Ye Tong's sister?"
"Yes. What about you? "Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. He roughly understood why Chen Fan was looking for him.
"It's about my sister." Chen Fan smiled bitterly. He put out the last of the cigarette and took out another one. After some thought, he put it back. "To be honest, you know that I came to Polar Night to find out the truth of what happened back then. But now that the truth is right before my eyes, I feel that it's better not to know."
"What happened?" Li Xiang frowned. In his previous life, Chen Fan said that his sister had been killed by criminals. Because of that, he became a police officer to bring those criminals to justice. It seemed that things were different in this life.
His sister was also a graduate of Polar Night. She even participated in the player assessment. This meant that she had already reached the pinnacle of a level 3 magician.
"She was a graduate of the second batch of Polar Night. She was older than us by 8 years. If she's still alive, she would be 26 years old. She graduated two years ago. According to the information, after she graduated, she was admitted to the First Military University in the final trial. Then she had excellent results for four years and was guaranteed to enter the player assessment. But … "
At this point, Chen Fan suddenly scratched his head. He did not know what to say.
"She's not dead?"
"Yes!" Chen Fan rubbed his head in frustration. He said to him, "Not only is she not dead, she's still alive. But she's not with us. She's with the tarot cards."
"Tarot cards?!" Li Xiang was shocked. He whispered, "You mean, your sister betrayed us?"
"Yes, she completely betrayed us. She's now a member of the tarot cards. Before the player assessment, she even sent me a letter. Did you know? Then in that assessment, she killed all the other examinees and betrayed us to the tarot cards. "
Chen Fan's expression was indescribable. To him, this was harder to accept than death. The person closest to him actually did such a thing. Moreover, it had to be the tarot cards.
"Damn it, the tarot cards, the tarot cards … That's Wanqing's family's enemy." Chen Fan was completely panicking. Even if he really stood on the opposite side of his sister, he might not be able to do it. However, Ji Yanqing's entire family was slaughtered by them. He definitely had to avenge her.
"There's no use panicking now. What do you plan to do? Did you tell Wanqing? "Li Xiang sighed. This brother of his was also in constant trouble.
"How would I dare to tell her? It's not like you haven't seen Wanqing's expression when she mentioned the tarot cards." Chen Fan hurriedly shook his head. "I plan to go to the First Military University now and see if my sister left any clues for me. I have a feeling that she's not really relying on the tarot cards."
"Then I can only wish you a safe journey. If there's anything I can help with, remember to contact me through the communicator." Li Xiang nodded slightly. Going to the National Military University of China was a good choice. Chen Fan had always yearned for that kind of military life. The First Military University of China was directly under the military. It was a very good university for players.
The two of them chatted for a while. Chen Fan entered the Chen Dragon Group's Special Operations Department, while Ji Yanqing entered the Chen Dragon Group's headquarters. They would probably have many interactions in the future.
After Li Xiang and Chen Fan finished chatting, just as he walked out of the toilet, he suddenly received a message from Baimiya.
Her nickname was "Cha Cha". It sounded cute, but it was quite different from her actual self.
Let's chat for a while. — Cha Cha.
I don't think there's a need. — Yes.
Li Xiang hesitated for a while, but still rejected. He did not want to have too much to do with Baimiya. He had a bad impression of the Bai family.
It was about Li Yetong. It's up to you whether you want to come or not. Stick out your tongue. I'll wait for you at the restaurant's side door. — Cha Cha.
Li Xiang's face was slightly sullen. He hated it when people used Ye Tong to threaten him. He walked to the restaurant's side door and saw Baimiya in white tights leaning against the wall, caressing the strange heavy sword in her hand. Seeing him walk over, Baimiya chuckled.
"What's the matter?"
"Something good." Baimiya smiled and glanced at the others in the distance. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, she moved closer to his ear and smiled. "It's about the ultimate trial."
"Hmm?"
"Did you know? On the day Ye Tong left Hou City, I was the one who personally escorted her onto the airship. Cousin Bai Yuhan and Cousin Bai Lihu were also with me. "Bai Micha explained the events of that day with a smile, as well as the identities of the people who were with him.
"So what?" Li Xiang frowned.
"Actually, that night, Haiting and I both thought about it. Why did the siblings only take her away? If you really are siblings, you should have the blood of the Bai family flowing in your veins. Although there is no official statement about your parents, the blood of the Bai family cannot be fake. This kind of thing, there are probably many people who can think of it. "
"So."
"Nothing much. These big things are not for the younger generation like us to think about. The older generation naturally has their own ideas. But no matter what, not bringing you back to acknowledge your ancestors means that the Bai family has completely given up on you. Do you understand? " Baimiya leaned close to his body. The faint scent of her virgin body wafted into his nose. "This makes me even more curious. Who are your parents that they would rather give up on a member of the clan than bring you back? This kind of situation is very rare. It is very likely that one or both of your parents are criminals of the Bai family. But because the Book of Prophecy recognized her as its master, Ye Tong had no choice but to return to the clan. "
"What are you trying to say?" Li Xiang moved slightly to the side. He did not mind beauties getting close to him, but he did not like Baimiya's scent. Perhaps it was because they came from the same source that repelled each other.
Li Xiang had considered the things she said before. Or rather, as long as there was enough information, most people would be able to guess a little. But it was better to play dumb now.
"Do you still not understand? Sister Ye Tong is deeper into the Bai family than you are. Her environment is more transparent. She is so smart, so she can see everything clearly. In the clan, who knows how many pairs of eyes are watching her, waiting for her to fall, or secretly plotting against her. She did not take the initiative to bring you back because she wanted to protect you. From what I know, she is the second person in our generation who can speak directly with His Majesty the White King. If she really wanted to help you, she only needed to mention it to His Majesty the White King, and no one would be able to stop you from returning to the Bai family. But she did not do that. She would rather face all the danger alone. In return, she became everyone's target. You, on the other hand, can live a carefree life. After all, compared to the master of the Book of Prophecy, what is a portion of the Bai family's blood? "
Baimiya became more and more agitated as she spoke. Her body rose and fell violently. After a long string of words, she gradually calmed down and returned to her usual demonic expression.
"The time you have now, the life you have, everything you have, was exchanged for by Ye Tong's own safety. This is something that should be shared by both of you. Do you understand, Li Xiang?"
"I understand, but this is between me and her. What does it have to do with you? It's not your place to denounce her, is it? "Li Xiang smiled. Was this girl trying to kill him because of this?
"You don't understand! You don't understand at all! " Baimiya roared. Then, she lowered her voice and grabbed him by the collar. "I've waited for so long, and finally, Ye Tong has appeared. I won't allow anyone to destroy her before she grows up, including you and herself."
Crazy? Chuunibyou?
Li Xiang could not find the right words to describe this somewhat hysterical girl in front of him. Her way of thinking was so strange, but it made sense. Perhaps it was just as she said. His life was too different from theirs, and he could not understand her feelings.
These children of noble families had been spoiled since they were young. There was nothing they could not get if they wanted something. Gradually, their personalities became strange, and some even developed strange habits.
Baimiya's lonely expression did not seem to be fake.
But so what?
What does it have to do with me?
He slapped Baimiya's hand away.
"In any case, this is my attitude. Now, I've changed my initial thoughts. I admit that you won't be a burden to Ye Tong, so I'll help you. I'll help you stand in front of her, and then watch the final battle between her and me. "Baimiya smiled wickedly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
This girl's way of thinking was completely different from normal people. Li Xiang made his final decision. He gave up on trying to understand Baimiya's way of thinking, and instead tried to glean some useful information from her words.
"I understand. You want to help me in the final trial?"
"That's right. In any case, in October, we'll work together and do something big. I guarantee that you'll be able to enter the Chronometer Tower Consortium." Baimiya stretched out her hand. "Of course, you can also choose to reject me, and then I'll kill you without hesitation, without mercy. I definitely, definitely, definitely won't let you interfere with Ye Tong's growth."
Li Xiang looked at her and chuckled.
He suddenly grabbed her hand. This time, neither of them used any strength.
