Chapter 398: Chapter 257, Two Slaps!

Tang Fei opened his eyes to meet a pair of unfamiliar eyes staring straight at him.

"Ah, Junior Brother, you’re awake?" The senior disciple from White Crane by his side said with a face full of surprise, "I’ll go and call the dean over right away."

"Thank you." Tang Fei grinned foolishly.

He always wanted to show the greatest kindness to those who had helped him.

Soon, Xuanyuan Mingjing and Vice Dean Si Yinchuan hurried over.

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Tang Fei had already circulated the Yin Yang Qi to check the internal state of his body and said, "Aside from some pain in my bones, I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere else..."

The doctor who followed in behind them explained, "The pain in your bones is because you’ve been injured in the chest. Even though the weapon didn’t really touch the bone, there was a violent collision of force..."

"Injury to muscles and bones takes a hundred days to heal, of course, that’s for ordinary people. You only need a few days of rest, but during this time, try not to do any vigorous exercise, and certainly don’t engage in any physical sparring with others."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor," Tang Fei said gratefully.

The doctor nodded and turned to Xuanyuan Mingjing and Si Yinchuan, "Deans, if there’s nothing else, I’ll step out. Call me anytime if there are any issues."

He was a specially appointed doctor of White Crane Academy and was naturally managed by both the dean and the vice dean.

"Go ahead with your tasks," Si Yinchuan nodded.

He knew Xuanyuan Mingjing wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters and wouldn’t even respond.

When the doctor and other miscellaneous people had left, Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Senior Brother?" Tang Fei asked with an anxious face, "Senior Brother is injured, is he alright?"

"He was taken home by his family," Si Yinchuan replied cheerfully. "The medical facilities and doctors of the Shen Family are naturally much better than our academy."

"But you don’t have to worry. When you were brought back, the dean had already examined your injuries... there’s nothing serious, just rest for some time and you’ll be fine."

"That’s a relief," Tang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought we were going to die."

"Why did a simple expedition end up like this? What did you encounter in the Burial Land?" Si Yinchuan said, "When we brought you back, both of you were unconscious and your bodies were weak... we couldn’t ask about the situation."

"We encountered Fen Kuai, he wanted to kill us."

"Fen Kuai?" Si Yinchuan looked uncertainly at Xuanyuan Mingjing, "The Fen Kuai who ascended to Grandmaster by brute force? He also went to the Burial Land?"

"He didn’t enter the Burial Land. After Senior Brother and I killed a Yin Jiao inside, we started to look for the exit to return... It wasn’t easy to find the exit, but just as we got out, he was blocking the way right in front of us... as if he was purposely waiting for us..."

"Such a coincidence?" Xuanyuan Mingjing’s brows furrowed slightly as he asked.

"Yes, I also think it’s too coincidental. I asked him why he wanted to kill us, and he said it was for the treasure we got..." Tang Fei looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing and Si Yinchuan, his anger still not subsided as he said, "I think this excuse doesn’t hold water at all."

"Firstly, the Burial Land is shrouded in fog, and all electronic and mechanical equipment inside fails, there are no tools to guide us, and we can’t make out any direction."

"How could he just so happen to be blocking our way? How did he know that we got treasures in the Burial Land?"

"Moreover, we didn’t find any treasures in the Burial Land, just killed a Yin Jiao, and Senior Brother got its Dragon Crystal..."

"I had nothing to take, just chopped off its Dragon Horn and peeled a few scales... For a minor Grandmaster like him, would he run all the way from New Star to such a place to kill and rob for just this stuff?"

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Tang Fei with a profound gaze and asked.

"I just feel that things are not that simple." Tang Fei said with a puzzled expression, "But I’ve had no contact with him, if not for Senior Brother introducing him, I wouldn’t even know of such a person... let alone understand his real intent."

"There will come a day when things come to light." Xuanyuan Mingjing said, looking thoughtfully at Tang Fei, "Your cloak... where did it come from?"

"Cloak?" Tang Fei reached for it, only to find that the cloak was gone.

Seeing Tang Fei’s worried and anxious look, Si Yinchuan said cheerfully, "We took care of your cloak for you. You were injured, and we wanted to check if there were any other injuries on your body, naturally, we had to take off your clothes..."

"But what material is that cloak made of? It feels soft and smooth yet withstands the Water and Fire Sword Energy... The dean said, if not for that cloak protecting your body, you would probably have been killed already."

"I also don’t know what material the cloak is made of; it was like that when I got it... As for where it came from..."

Tang Fei looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing and asked, "Master, do you still remember why Princess went to the Old Land?"
