Chapter 383: Chapter 246: You Must Take Good Care of Our Child!_2

Those kind of people, they didn’t want him to risk his life easily.

What if something happened to him? Who could they turn to for reason?

But he confirmed his own expedition plan on the spot.

Even the Shen Family found it difficult to shake his thoughts and influence his choices.

Once Shen Xinglan took this stance, Tang Fei naturally didn’t want to lose to him.

So, he looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing with earnest sincerity, eyes filled with admiration, and emotionally said, "Master, as you know, I am an orphan from the Old Land. I’ve never known my parents or even what they look like..."

"After arriving in New Star, Master has been as kind to me as a mountain, teaching me swordsmanship and common knowledge, just like my own father..."

"I don’t need to discuss it with my parents or elders. If Master says it’s okay, I’ll go. If Master says no, I won’t go. I listen to my Master."

"..." Shen Xinglan.

Do you have any shame at all?

"..." Si Yinchuan.

Kid, I know what you’re thinking, but aren’t you going a bit overboard?

Even Xuanyuan Mingjing found it hard to bear, glancing at Tang Fei and saying, "Speak properly."

"Yes, I will listen to Master."

After Tang Fei and Shen Xinglan had left, Si Yinchuan couldn’t help but speak up and ask, "Dean, won’t there be problems if those two go together?"

Xuanyuan Mingjing picked up a fruit plate from the stone table and tossed a purple-red grape into his mouth, speaking indistinctly, "Aren’t you curious?"

"Curious about what?"

"Curious about who will be able to come back alive."

Si Yinchuan’s pupils dilated, his expression horrified.

Is the Dean raising a gu?

"Dean..." Si Yinchuan carefully chose his words and asked, "Isn’t this a bit too cruel?"

"Without breaking the lesser path, how can one achieve the greater path?"

"Yes. It’s just that I was caught in an illusion." Si Yinchuan bowed and apologized.

"——"

"What? Brother, you’re going to the Old Land?" Little Fatty’s eyes shone brightly, and he asked excitedly, "Brother, can you take me with you? I want to go see the Old Land too. I want to go back and find my godfather..."

"No," Tang Fei refused.

"Why?" Little Fatty was surprised.

Big brother had never outright refused me before, if he did, it was always in a roundabout way...

For instance, saying "Little Fatty, you can’t wear these jeans, you’re too fat for them."

Not just an outright no.

"Because this is an academy expedition, we will ride the Star Disc directly to the Burial Land," Tang Fei explained. "We’re not going to Hate Mountain, and you won’t find your godfather there."

The old man sneaked over to New Star, who could you find at Hate Mountain?

"Then I’ll go to the Burial Land with you..." Little Fatty reacted just like Tang Fei, and said, "Brother, just hearing that name makes me feel it’s not a good place, maybe even more dangerous than the last time we went to the Evil God Cave Mansion... No, I have to go with you. I need to protect you."

"Have you forgotten? I’m your brother, I’m also a cultivator... I’m quite powerful now. Ordinary people are no match for me. Besides, I have teammates. That number one Blue List cultivator, Shen Xinglan, he is also going with me."

"Just the two of you going?" Little Fatty asked.

"Yes, just the two of us."

"Brother, then I must go with you," Little Fatty said with determined eyes.

"Why?"

"Because Shen Xinglan is not a good person."

"How can you tell he’s not a good person?"

"Brother, you stole Sister Phoenix from him, he will definitely want revenge. That’s why he’s not a good person."

"..."

Tang Fei looked at Little Fatty with a shocked expression. Even this naive lad could see through the issue, and here he was, trying to pretend as if nothing had happened?

Every day in front of Master, he praised Shen Xinglan—Master must think I’m an idiot, right?

However, Little Fatty’s brotherhood moved Tang Fei deeply.

He had stolen Phoenix, yet Little Fatty still thought Shen Xinglan was not a good person...

How refreshingly delightful Little Fatty’s logical reasoning was.

"Brother, before we came to New Star, everyone said that Sister Phoenix and Shen Xinglan made a perfect couple. After we arrived at New Star, Sister Phoenix preferred to be with you. So, Shen Xinglan must hate you in his heart."

"This time the two of you will go out alone, and he will surely seek revenge. You can’t beat him, so I have to go with you. We’ll fight him together."

Tang Fei shook his head and said, "I understand what you’re saying, but... this is the academy’s arrangement. I can’t change the academy’s decision. Unless I go tell the dean now that I’m not going."

"Then let’s just not go," Little Fatty said.

Tang Fei gave a wry smile and replied, "Do you think the dean knows about my relationship with Shen Xinglan?"

"The dean is so powerful, he definitely knows. But if he knows, why would he still let you both go together?" Little Fatty was puzzled and then came to a conclusion, "Is the dean not a good person?"

"People, sometimes you can’t just label them as good or bad."

"Then how should we label them?"

"You should label them as those who benefit me and those who benefit others."

"People who benefit me are good people, and those who benefit others are bad people?"

"That’s not right either; some people benefit me, but they are bad... and some people benefit others, but they are kind-hearted good people."

Little Fatty’s head was spinning, and he said, "Bro, this is too hard to figure out. I can’t tell. Just tell me who to smash, and I’ll smash."

"..."

Tang Fei looked at Little Fatty and consoled him earnestly, "I must go on this adventure. If I say I’m not going now, it would drain that spirit I have inside me."

"Which spirit?"

"The spirit..." Tang Fei thought for a moment and said, "The spirit you have when you want to smash the Black Dragon Pond Waterfall into stopping its flow with a sledgehammer."

Little Fatty sort of understood.

Tang Fei patted Little Fatty on the shoulder and said, "Shen Xinglan is very powerful, but your brother is also extremely tough. Don’t worry, I have made thorough preparations. I promise you, I will come back safe and sound."

"Okay." Little Fatty nodded and said, "If you don’t come back, I’ll go smash the Shen Family. I’ll smash as many as I can."

"..."

"What do you feel like eating?" Tang Fei looked at Little Fatty and asked with a smile, "I’ll make it for you."

Little Fatty’s eyes reddened, and he said, "Bro, don’t scare me... You’re not coming back, are you?"

Tang Fei flicked Little Fatty on the head, annoyed, "Where would I go if I don’t come back? Burial land, burial land, where do you want to bury me? Don’t curse me."

"It’s good you’re coming back, it’s good," Little Fatty finally cracked a smile.

"Quick, order something. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat braised ribs," Little Fatty said.

"Alright, I’ll go cook. In a bit, let’s have a few drinks," Tang Fei said.

After dinner, Tang Fei went back to his room to pack his bags.

He took with him the black cloak gifted by his sworn brother, Evil God. The material was unknown, but it was extremely durable.

Tang Fei had tried to burn it and cut it with a dagger, but neither left any marks.

The cloak was comparable to the ancient Golden Silkworm Cloth, perhaps even more effective.

Of course, against high-tech weapons, it was uncertain whether it could hold up.

Tang Fei hadn’t dared to test it.

He then opened the chest he had brought back from the Lu Family and selected a few suitable weapons.

After finishing his packing, Tang Fei called Phoenix via video call.

Upon hearing that Tang Fei was going to the Old Land for an adventure, Phoenix’s expression became serious. She said, "You must be careful."

"Don’t worry, I will be," Tang Fei replied with a smile. "I will definitely return safely."

"Okay." Phoenix nodded, her beautiful face breaking into a touching smile, "I will give you a gift when you get back."

"What gift?"

"You’ll find out then."

"Is this a lure?"

"That depends on whether you’re the little fish in the pond."

"I am," Tang Fei said. "By the way, I need to ask you a favor. If something happens to me, you must take care of our kid..."

"???"

Phoenix blushed, her eyes widened as she stared at Tang Fei.

Kid?

When did we have a kid? I, the mother, don’t even know?

"Little Fatty," Tang Fei said.

Little Fatty had grown up; he didn’t need someone to look after his day-to-day life.

But, Tang Fei was worried he might actually go and seek revenge against the Shen Family.

Facing an entire family alone, Little Fatty had only one path to death.

This was not the outcome Tang Fei wished to see. Regardless, he hoped Phoenix would persuade Little Fatty and, in a crucial moment, save his life.
