"That's all I can say. As for what to do, Yunfei, think about it yourself." Taking a sip of the tea in his hand, Wild Hunter smiled, "You should know better than me just how popular that woman is right now."
Bai Yunfei clenched his teeth, but said nothing.
When he saw Wild Hunter, he had already guessed the reason for his visit. Dismissing the servants, Bai Yunfei listened to Wild Hunter's words. His heart was in turmoil, and he felt as if the last layer of skin on his face had been ruthlessly peeled off.
Of course, no one knew better than him just how popular Fei Yujing was in City 0001.
Back then, he had only been interested in the meager financial resources of the Fei family and the Dong Ling Heavy Industry's technology that Fei Zilan could provide. Since Fei Yujing had a favor to ask of him and his father didn't object to the marriage, it was decided just like that.
But he never would've thought that in just two short months, the young woman he brought back would become a dragon in water and a phoenix in the sky!
It wasn't just the children of the aristocratic families that were eyeing him covetously, but there were also people from the other branches of the Bai who were eyeing his fiancée. The reason for this was that Bai Yunfei was easy to bully. He hadn't even awakened his talent as a player, so he wouldn't have a chance to stand on their stage in the future.
Winners were kings, and losers were bandits. This was especially true in the aristocratic families.
Without talent, unless you had an extraordinary background, even a child of the Bai like him wouldn't be looked up to.
Reality was just that cruel.
Wild Hunter saw the change in Bai Yunfei's eyes. He knew that his conditions had moved Bai Yunfei, so he sat down even more firmly and smiled even more.
His father had asked him to investigate the information of the tenth batch of Polar night graduates, but it was actually very difficult. These people were the seeds that the Polar night had decided to nurture. Even his father wouldn't be able to touch them, let alone him.
Wild Hunter knew his brother's personality well. Unless he met an enemy worthy of fighting, he wouldn't openly investigate the background of others. He also learned from Major Mo Hai about the conflict between them and Li Xiang in Hangzhou. Combining all of these, he was basically certain that the murderer of the Kuang Tie was Li Xiang.
As much as he didn't want to admit it, the people from the Polar night really did have the ability to do so.
The biggest problem now was that no one could get close to these ten graduates. The only chance they had was the final trial that would begin at the beginning of October. Unfortunately, Wild Hunter had passed the Ultimate Trial last year and entered the University. At most, he could only ask a group of juniors to help him test Li Xiang. Thus, in the end, his eyes locked onto Bai Yunfei.
The reason was simple.
Firstly, he was a member of the Bai Family and had a natural family advantage. Secondly, he was a good-for-nothing and was easier to control. Thirdly, his fiancée was Li Xiang's first love. Perhaps the biggest cuckold was still on his head. With just a little reminder, he would do anything to kill Li Xiang.
These three points were enough.
Bai Yunfei, in particular, was a narrow-minded person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. If Bai Yunfei were to face the children of the other families of City 0001, he wouldn't have the guts to do so. But this was Li Xiang, an unknown commoner. He was the perfect target to vent his frustrations on.
As for the fact that he was a graduate of Polar night, very few people knew about this. Naturally, Bai Yunfei did not have this information source.
"He's just a commoner. Is he worth so much attention from big brother Wild Hunter?" Bai Yunfei wasn't stupid. Wild Hunter had come to him with great fanfare and even offered him manpower and resources. Bai Yunfei didn't believe that there wasn't something fishy going on.
Wild Hunter laughed heartily. Tapping the mahogany table, he smiled, "I won't hide it from you. One of my juniors has a bit of a grudge with him. I just happened to hear that Yunfei had a big conflict with him here, so I wanted to ask you for a favor. Aren't you going to participate in the Ultimate Trial in October? Don't worry, you're not the only one I'm asking. You'll know when the time comes. "
"I'll leave the item here. It's up to you to decide if you want to do it or not." Wild Hunter didn't give Bai Yunfei a chance to ask any more questions.
His father was General Shogun, and Bai Yunfei wanted to help his father make connections. Naturally, he wouldn't give up on the chance to make friends with Wild Hunter.
But he was more concerned about the matter between Fei Yujing and Li Xiang that Wild Hunter had mentioned.
Originally, Bai Yunfei wouldn't have cared about a childhood sweetheart or a first love. But with the increasing number of people pursuing Fei Yujing, Bai Yunfei was becoming more and more cautious.
If even a commoner could ride on his head like this, how would he be able to stand tall in the sixteenth branch?
"Where did miss Fei go?" Bai Yunfei took a sip of his tea before asking the maid who had just walked in.
The maid shrank back, not daring to speak.
"I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf?! "Bai Yunfei spat angrily.
The maid stammered for a moment before finally replying, "Miss … Miss Fei went to young master Wang's house. She said she wanted to discuss some things related to magic with him."
"Hmph!" Bai Yunfei's face paled. Today it was young master Wang. Tomorrow it was young master Li. Every day, she had a place to go. Leaving early and returning late, did she think he was an idiot?
Throwing the teacup in his hand to the ground, Bai Yunfei shattered it into pieces. Startled, the maid let out a shriek before finally coming to a decision. Reaching out, she took the item Wild Hunter left behind into her bosom.
Li Xiang! Li Xiang! Li Xiang!
Why was a commoner trying to ride on his head?
"You, come with me to my room." With a belly full of anger, Bai Yunfei beckoned to the maid. At his words, the maid's face paled. Thinking about what might happen next, her legs began to tremble. But under Bai Yunfei's pressure, she had no choice but to tiptoe back to his room.
Everything in the villa belonged to the Bai family. Bai Yunfei's father, Bai Ge, had been even more lax with his son ever since he became a councilman. Bai Yunfei rarely interfered with his son's affairs. Since Bai Yunfei's mother died at a young age, Bai Yunfei was practically lawless at home.
At that moment, a small airship slowly descended in front of the luxurious villa. The word 'Wang' was carved into the airship's airbag. To be able to enter and leave the sixteenth branch at will, one could tell that the owner of this airship was no ordinary person.
After the airship landed, the cabin door opened. A young man and a young woman walked out side by side.
The young woman was none other than Fei Yujing, who was wearing a long lavender dress. Beside her stood a tall and handsome military captain. He was probably in his early twenties and had a tall and straight posture. Just his appearance alone was enough to charm a group of infatuated young women.
He gestured for Fei Yujing to follow him, and then slowly followed him.
"Thank you for your guidance today, senior. You've enlightened me." Fei Yujing smiled gracefully, but her expression was very indifferent. The arrogance between her eyebrows didn't weaken in the slightest.
The military captain chuckled and responded: "Junior, you're too kind. We're all people of the Jingbei. After passing the ultimate trial, you'll be my direct junior. This bit of communication is necessary. This time's military training really opened my eyes. Your aptitude as a magus is really enviable. "
"Senior must be joking. I'm just displaying my slight skill in front of an expert. The Jingbei is full of talents. It's just that no one wants to compete with a little girl like me." Fei Yujing led the military captain into the luxurious villa. The several maids at the door had complicated expressions. They wanted to say something, but they didn't dare. They could only watch the two of them enter the door.
In the two months in city 0001, Fei Yujing fully experienced the difference between the grace of an aristocratic family and the ordinary class. If she hadn't accidentally opened up the balance, even if it was her, in the end, she could only be submerged in the vast sea of people.
In the Jingbei, there were too many geniuses.
But she still managed to survive.
And gradually, she gained a firm foothold in this behemoth-like big city.
These days, Fei Yujing learned the most how to deal with the children of aristocratic families and how to live in high society. In Hou City, she put on the mask of a cold noble lady. Only in front of Li Xiang would she show some of her pure temperament. But here, even this last bit of purity could only be hidden deep in her heart.
In front of these people, she had to put on a more perfect mask.
For herself, for her father, for her family.
This time, she was able to seize the title of Best Freshman in the military training. She herself had not expected it, but at least it was a reflection of effective management. In these two months, Fei Yujing had constantly improved herself. At the same time, she had made friends with all kinds of children of aristocratic families. With their support, even some of the Jingbei's new students who had the ability to compete with her would also give up fighting for the face of this group of people.
She was determined to win the title of Best Freshman. This way, she would have an even greater advantage in the final trial.
Now, the most troublesome thing for her was still the identity of Bai Yunfei's fiancée.
Her fiancé … Although she had never taken him seriously, she still had to maintain this status outside.
Before she was strong enough to break away from Bai Ge's control.
Fei Yujing still wanted to say something to the military captain, but her thoughts were interrupted by that dirty sound coming from the room.
That senior from the Wang family smiled awkwardly. He naturally understood Bai Yunfei's habits extremely well. But this kind of debauchery in broad daylight was unavoidably not putting his own fiancée in his eyes too much.
Or could it be that the rumors outside were true?
Fei Yujing's scheming was extremely deep. Was she unceasingly wearing a green hat for this young master of the Bai family? And Bai Yunfei could not bear the humiliation and also did the same in response to her at home?
Fei Yujing frowned. She waved her hand to summon a maid: "Go up and call the young master down."
"Yes, yes …" The maid lowered her head, not daring to look at her. Although Fei Yujing had not yet married into the family, in the situation where Bai Ge was not in charge, now that Fei Yujing was in charge of half of the large and small affairs of the family, these servants were very respectful to her and also very afraid of her.
"Ah, forget it, forget it. I won't disturb Yunfei's elegance." The military captain waved his hand to call back the maid. He turned his head to look at Fei Yujing and said, "How about I go back?"
"How can that be? If senior doesn't mind, you can come sit in my house." Fei Yujing walked in front with a smile, seemingly having no intention of letting him leave.
Looking at the young girl, this kind of beautiful wife was the dream of many men. The military captain sniffed his nose. Could it be that she was really the same as the rumors?
He shook his head. He was not the same as Bai Yunfei. He was not an idiot. Today, he had come with a purpose. If the information he received was correct, this woman was not simple.
He hesitated for a moment before quickly following her.
