The contents of the letter were short and simple. It was about Fei Yujing.
Regarding this childhood sweetheart of his, aside from the regret of not being able to be together in his past life, Bai Yunfei also felt guilty for leaving without saying goodbye in this life.
But he had no other choice.
Ye Tong had been taken away by the Bai, so he had to bring her back. If he followed Fei Yujing to Keihoku University, then his future would be limited. He had to become a player.
Because of this, he had no choice but to come to the Polar night training camp. So far, Li Xiang was quite satisfied with the results.
But this time's fainting had been a huge joke. Just like Fei Yujing, he had the talent to become a player. But there was no medicine for regret in this world, and he didn't regret coming to the Polar night training camp.
This was a place that trained people. In the future, Li Xiang would be able to walk a step ahead of everyone else when he entered the University.
The letter gave a brief introduction to Fei Yujing's recent situation. After the Fei merged with the sixteenth branch of the Bai Yunfei family, they slowly began to operate their own businesses in City 0001. Fei Zilan's business acumen was outstanding, and Wang Bo walked the same path. Because of this, Wang Bo paid special attention to him. Wang Bo had a very high opinion of Fei Zilan and called him a business genius.
In just a few short months, Fei Zilan had accumulated his first bucket of gold.
Fei Yujing, on the other hand, had shown her talent during the military training. In City 0001, she had lost the aura of a rich girl from Hou City. In front of a group of high-ranking officials, she was more like a commoner. But she didn't fall because of this. Instead, in the past two months of military training, she had become one of the most famous students in Keihoku University who had the talent to become a magus.
Seeing her get better and better, Li Xiang's heart was filled with all sorts of emotions. Giving up on the girl he liked and walking down the most difficult path was his choice. If the two of them had the chance to cross paths in the future, he would still want to be together with her.
But she must hate me now.
After a brief introduction of Fei Yujing, Wang Bo talked about two things. The first was that Fei Yujing was engaged to Bai Yunfei. He didn't go into the details, but he did mention why she agreed to Bai Yunfei's proposal. The second was that Kuang Tie had already reached his hand out to Fei Yujing. With his background and connections, he wouldn't be afraid of Bai Yunfei, who wasn't even in the Sixteen Houses.
In the eyes of the Kuang Tie, or perhaps most of the geniuses in City 0001, Bai Yunfei was the one who had married into the Bai family. He didn't have any special talents, but he was lucky enough to hook up with a talented commoner. Without the Bai family's help, he wouldn't be able to control his fiancée.
In City 0001 alone, there were countless people who wanted to make Bai Yunfei a cuckold.
Seeing this, Li Xiang smiled knowingly. Perhaps because Wang Bo was thinking about his feelings, Wang Bo's words were mocking Bai Yunfei as much as possible. In his past life, Bai Yunfei could rely on the support of his family to easily crush Wang Bo. He was an existence that Wang Bo couldn't even look up to. But now, in this world where strength was everything, the gap between the two was far too large.
But if Wang Bo had chosen to follow Fei Yujing to Keihoku University, then Bai Yunfei's pitiful situation would've been the same as his. In fact, it would've been even worse. After all, Li Xiang was the real Bai Hu.
Because he didn't know what Li Xiang was thinking, Wang Bo only pointed out the situation and told him how to deal with it. It was up to Li Xiang to decide what to do. He only said that if Li Xiang needed help, he would do his best to help.
He didn't have time to deal with the dispute between Bai Yunfei and Fei Yujing. But Li Xiang knew that Fei Yujing might've agreed to Bai Yunfei's marriage for the sake of his spot in the Keihoku University.
She had sacrificed herself so much for him. No matter what, he had to give her an explanation.
Unfortunately, Li Xiang was still trapped in the Polar night. If he couldn't get out alive, then everything was just empty talk. This misunderstanding would have to wait until the final trial to solve it.
Aside from a short message, Wang Bo had also sent him two communication devices. Because he didn't have his own steam writing device, Li Xiang could only use this communication device to communicate with a set of friends. The only people in his contact list were Wang Bo and Ming Xu.
"Kuang Tie …" Li Xiang crushed the letter in his hand to pieces. Anger was slowly rising in his heart. Time after time, did Wang Bo really think that he was easy to bully?
Ming Xu had just finished washing up when he walked into his room. His entire body was dripping wet when he saw Li Xiang crush Wang Bo's letter. Immediately after, he gave Li Xiang a puzzled look.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing." Li Xiang waved his hand and smiled bitterly. Ming Xu was really a natural airhead when it came to certain things. He had told her many times that she didn't remember to wear clothes. However, he didn't reject this kind of combat partner at all. In fact, he felt very comfortable with it.
Smart, cold, and tacit cooperation. They were simply born to be life and death partners.
"This is from Wang Bo." Li Xiang threw the communication device that he had given to Ming Xu. This communication device cost nearly 300,000 Blue Astral Coins, and it looked quite high-end. This kid was really willing to spend money after making up his mind.
Ming Xu frowned. She was a mechanical idiot and didn't like to use this kind of mechanical equipment. However, she still knew how to use this simple communication device. Seeing her frown, Li Xiang knew that something was wrong. How could he have forgotten about this?
Fortunately, Ming Xu accepted it in the end. She skillfully operated it and sent a message to Li Xiang. It was an angry little man on fire.
Li Xiang smiled bitterly. He saw that she actually had a special account. That was a permanent account that could only be registered with a special steam language! It could be said that it could be used for a lifetime. It was a super account that could be used by players!
He looked again and saw that Wang Bo also had one.
Wang Bo's nickname was "I Want to Be a Fatty", and Ming Xu's was "Zero".
Sigh, it was good to be a child of a rich family. Li Xiang looked at his own nickname, "Tourist 12345", and sighed. He replied with a little man with a bitter smile. After thinking for a while, he sent another message to Wang Bo, asking him to help find 11 basic firearms books.
Old Ghost had left behind a shocking list of 162 books. He had already found one, and he was still missing 161 books. It shouldn't be a problem to pick 11 simpler books for Wang Bo to find. Since Wang Bo was willing to spend resources on him, it would be a waste not to use him.
.....
Nightfall.
In the wild forest outside Ghost City.
The small airship that Crimson Moon hid in the secret room of the bar had completed its final assembly test a few days ago. It only needed a large amount of fuel and source gas to take off. This airship had to cross continents, star vortexes, and space rifts. Therefore, the power core crystal needed a large amount of energy to ensure that it would be safe.
This time, the 200 million she had earned allowed her to barely scrape together enough money to return to the Southern Land with the secret on her. This was her mission as a member of the Crimson Moon family.
Li Xiang, Ming Xu, and the others stood together and looked at the small airship that was docked on the ground. Yu Yi and Crimson Moon were talking in each other's ears. Fire Phoenix, Vulture, and a few other remaining core members of Crimson Moon looked at them silently and stood far away.
After all, Crimson Moon was an organization that Crimson Moon casually used to gather money. She had never told her subordinates about her family background or the reason for her departure. Even if she did, it would only cause them more trouble. However, they could still guess a little. It was precisely because Fire Phoenix understood the gap between them that she pretended not to know anything even when she guessed that Crimson Moon was going to leave.
After talking to Yu Yi, Crimson Moon waved at Li Xiang. He walked over in confusion. Shouldn't she be saying goodbye to her subordinates at this time?
"Little Brother Li Xiang." Crimson Moon put her hands behind her back and smiled at him.
"Mm."
"Thank you for helping me a lot." Crimson Moon suddenly lowered her head and kissed him gently on the neck. This sudden kiss shocked everyone. No one knew what she was doing.
When her lips touched Li Xiang's skin, he was also stunned. Immediately, a burning and stinging sensation rose from his neck. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it. It seemed that something was floating on his neck.
Crimson Moon smiled and picked up a mirror to show him. There was a new mark on his neck. It was a purple crescent moon.
This was the family mark of the Yue Family, one of the five Sovereigns.
"I'll leave my subordinates to you." Crimson Moon glanced at Fire Phoenix and the others. There was a trace of reluctance in her eyes. She then turned to look at him deeply. "Goodbye. I hope we can meet again in the future."
Her gaze finally drifted to Fire Phoenix and the others. She then turned her head away. The corners of her eyes were slightly wet, but she didn't look back as she got into the small airship.
It was impossible to say that she had no feelings for them. However, Crimson Moon knew that the danger she was going to face this time was far greater than when she was in Ghost City. Bringing them along would only bring a few more corpses in the end. Rather than let them go on the road of no return with her, it was better to let them live a good life here.
Fire Phoenix and the others stared blankly at Crimson Moon's departing figure. It was as if they were still in a dream.
Under the loud noise of the mechanical equipment, the airship suddenly shot out a few air pillars and slowly floated up.
Everyone watched as Crimson Moon's airship took off and disappeared into the moonlight. Only then did they leave one after another.
Ming Xu looked at the mark on Li Xiang's neck. He pondered for a moment. Without saying anything, he disappeared into the darkness alone.
After returning to the garden bungalow, Yu Yi secretly told Li Xiang about the Yue Family mark. The Yue Family was a very special existence among the five Sovereigns. It was a well-known matriarchal family. They had high requirements for marrying into the family, but they encouraged the women in the family to marry into the family. It was a mysterious family.
Usually, this kind of mark was left behind by a Yue Family member who took a fancy to the man.
However, Crimson Moon obviously wouldn't be together with Li Xiang. Yu Yi felt that it was very strange.
"Uh … Maybe it's just a prank?" Li Xiang touched the mark on his neck. Other than a little tingling, he didn't feel anything else.
"Forget it. I still can't see through her. Maybe it's really just a prank. Anyway, it's only good for you." Yu Yi spread his hands. The five Sovereigns each had their own characteristics. The Yue Family in the far Southern Land had always been a place that all men dreamed of.
It was different from the extreme xenophobia of Dong Ling's family. If you could accept the matriarchal family, then the Yue Family was heaven.
The women of the Yue Family were all kinds of flirtatious. They were all good wives and mothers, gentle and virtuous. They were simply the best choice for a partner.
However, Li Xiang didn't have time to think about these things now. The night after tomorrow was the time to explain the final exam. Now that he had inexplicably obtained the player's qualification, it was time to fine-tune his strategy in the future.
However, seeing the lonely eyes of Fire Phoenix and the others, Li Xiang felt a little sympathetic. On the way back, he secretly ran to the Crimson Moon Bar to comfort her.
The person who would take over Crimson Moon's position in the Crimson Moon Bar would be Fire Phoenix. Crimson Moon's departure was tantamount to a heavy blow. However, the collapse of the Ghost Soldiers allowed them to firmly occupy the first place.
When he arrived at the bar, only Fire Phoenix was sitting at the bar, shaking the Snow Pot.
"What would you like to drink?" She smiled lazily. Li Xiang had never seen her so tired.
"Uh, draft beer." Li Xiang didn't want to trouble her to mix drinks.
Fire Phoenix nodded. She generously took out two barrels of draft beer from the freezer behind her and threw them directly in front of him.
"Drink with me, will you?"
