Chapter 322: Chapter 212, Hacker!

Tang Fei found the Xuanyuan Mingjing at the Star-picking Platform, where he was instructing Shen Xinglan in sword practice.

Shen Xinglan seldom came to the Star-picking Platform, mostly working silently in secluded corners as if there were some unknown secrets to the Shen Family’s Ultimate Skill.

However, recalling Shen Xinglan’s performance in the Martial Arts competition, Tang Fei had a tremendous sense of defeat in his heart.

This person gave off a feeling of being invincible.

Tang Fei walked up to Xuanyuan Mingjing and spoke, "Master, I need to take a leave of absence."

"Hmm? What happened?" Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Tang Fei, who had reported to the Star-picking Platform nearly every day, rain or shine, since becoming his disciple.

Xuanyuan Mingjing had rarely seen anyone work as hard as Tang Fei, not even Shen Xinglan, who was known for his diligence.

Tang Fei had an almost zealous pursuit of increasing his strength, racing against time, as if he had a formidable enemy chasing after him.

"The Eldest Prince has sent someone for me."

"Did he say what it’s about?"

"No."

"Go ahead," Xuanyuan Mingjing said with a nonchalant air.

"Yes, Master," Tang Fei said with a smile. "I’m just here to notify you of my leave, so you won’t worry."

He had made a special trip not only to ask for leave but also to let Xuanyuan Mingjing know his "whereabouts".

And to let the Eldest Prince’s men know that Xuanyuan Mingjing was aware of his movements...

If something unexpected happened during the gene testing, Xuanyuan Mingjing could stand up and speak for him, and even the Royal Family would have to consider the weight of his words.

He trusted the old man, but he couldn’t put all his hopes on him alone.

If making a round could give him extra insurance, why not do it?

It was foolish not to cling to powerful backers when available.

After bidding farewell to his beloved mentor, Tang Fei greeted Shen Xinglan, who had just finished practicing with his sword, and then met up with two black-clad bodyguards at the entrance of the grape courtyard.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Tang Fei said politely.

"It’s only right," the leading bodyguard replied, forcing a rare smile onto his face.

This was the residence of the Great Grandmaster, and Tang Fei was his disciple...

What was wrong with waiting?

Even the Eldest Prince would have to wait.

Accompanied by the two black-clad bodyguards, the three of them arrived at the helipad behind the White Crane Academy.

A Black Hawk sss-type aircraft had been waiting there for some time; once on board, they flew towards their destination.

Tang Fei did not ask where they were going; it was best to just go with Zhong Tianque’s arrangements at this point.

The aircraft landed on top of the Imperial Genetic Data Building, and Tang Fei used the private elevator to reach the VIP area.

Seeing Tang Fei approach, Zhong Tianque put down the documents in his hand and asked, "Phoenix has told you everything, right?"

"Ah? Told me what?" Tang Fei looked completely taken aback.

No matter what, he wouldn’t involve Phoenix.

"If she hasn’t, let it be," Zhong Tianque dismissed with a wave of his hand, not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer. Originally, he just wanted to catch Tang Fei off guard to see where his sister’s loyalties lay.

If she leaked the results of the family’s internal meetings, he would have to be wary of her in the future...

"Are you surprised? Why suddenly have someone bring you here?"

Tang Fei continued to feign ignorance and looked at Zhong Tianque, saying, "There must be something you wish to entrust to me... I’m honored to serve your Highness. Please feel free to ask, I will do my utmost."

Zhong Tianque pondered for a moment.

Tang Fei was blatantly expressing his loyalty. Could this man be trusted?

If he was ordered to take care of his second brother...

Never mind, it was a serious matter requiring careful consideration.

After all, the incident had just occurred, and if his second brother was targeted right away, he would be the prime suspect.

That was not a result Zhong Tianque was willing to accept.

Moreover, his position as Crown Prince was still unshakeable for the time being.

If there were a next time, he would show no mercy.

"There’s nothing at the moment, I’ll communicate with you in advance if needed," Zhong Tianque nodded, appreciating Tang Fei’s proactive surrender, and said, "The thing is, during the recent Heavenly Path Exchange, both you and Shen Xinglan performed exceptionally well. You won the Mechanical Contest for the Empire, and Shen Xinglan met expectations by claiming the victory in the Martial Arts Contest... "

"My father intends to reward both of you, but while reviewing the records, we found that you haven’t undergone genetic testing yet..."

"Father says that before placing trust in someone, all potential threats must be ruled out... so I’ve asked you here to conduct a genetic test on you."

Tang Fei looked at Zhong Tianque curiously and asked, "What is genetic testing? How is it done? I’ve never undergone such a thing..."

"It’s quite simple, just a few drops of blood," Zhong Tianque explained. "Leave the rest to the professionals. They’ll send the data report to you..."

"Alright, I will cooperate fully," Tang Fei assured.

"Mhm," Zhong Tianque nodded. "I’ve made the arrangements; let them in."

Soon, a doctor and two nurses entered.
