Chapter 412: Chapter 263, Is This a Visit? Or Charity?_2

"Does Shen Xinglan know his cover is blown?" Lu Siyu asked aloud.

"He knows," Tang Fei said decisively. "He’s an extremely smart person."

"So now, the situation is, you know it was the Assassin sent by the Shen Family, and Shen Xinglan also knows that you know this..."

"Yes," Tang Fei nodded.

So what if he knew? It was still inevitable.

Even now, pretending to not know was still the best option.

Under the roof, one has to bow.

"Then the pattern of your interactions has changed," the old man looked at Tang Fei and said. "For those who break boundaries through cultivation, the most crucial thing is to act on will. If you don’t resolve this issue, then it will be a thorn in Shen Xinglan’s side..."

"Shen Xinglan, such a distinguished and talented young man, why would he want to waste time on this sort of thing? Thus, he will try every means to eliminate you, and it’s very possible that he will act personally."

"I understand," Tang Fei nodded and spoke, "What I don’t understand is why does the Shen Family suddenly want to strike against me? Because I have even dispatched a minor Grandmaster... Do I deserve such attention?"

The old man’s expression was gloomy as he said, "Because of your excellence, or rather than you are in competition with Shen Xinglan....Just for this reason, I think it’s not worth Shen Wuxiang acting personally."

"What other reason could there be?" Tang Fei asked.

"Perhaps, they are suspecting your identity or mine..." the old man said. "It is very likely they are suspecting my identity."

Tang Fei looked at the old man in shock and said, "How could they suspect this?"

"I’ve told you many times not to underestimate the heroes of the world and never think you are the smartest person there," the old man seriously cautioned again.

"A young man from the Old Land who knows cultivation and excels in mechanics saved the Princess and is closely related to the Lu Family... If you were the Shen Family, wouldn’t you suspect our identity?"

"What should we do?" Tang Fei asked.

He was a person severely lacking in security; he disliked this feeling.

If it were up to him, he would simply run back to the Old Land.

Go find An Ning, find Chen Tianlong; they must be doing quite well at the Flame Shrine, right?

Although the environment in the Old Land was harsh and without any hope, at least his life would be secure.

To live, there was nothing more important than staying alive.

But, he knew the old man would not agree.

The old man’s gaze deepened as he looked at Tang Fei, as if seeing through all his internal organs.

He knew this kid too well; life on the Old Land had cultivated his resilience and bandit-like ferocity, but it also made him prone to solving and avoiding problems in the simplest ways: fight if you can win, run if you cannot.

Now he felt his identity was about to be exposed, and he was thinking of running away.

"They are just suspecting," the old man spoke. "As long as I do not come forward, their suspicions won’t have any basis."

"Besides, haven’t you already been taken by the Royal Family for a genetic test? The results, compared with anyone of us... You are safe."

"The Royal Family’s doubt actually saved me?"

"Exactly," the old man nodded and said. "If it was us who went for the genetic testing, the outside world might not believe it. But the results issued by the Royal Family, especially since Zhong Tianque personally took you for the test, then the credibility of these results is very high..."

"I understand," Tang Fei nodded and said. "What do we need to do now?"

"First, strive to enhance your own strength. Seriously learn from Xuanyuan Mingjing, there is no better teacher than him, and no safer place than by his side."

"Even if Shen Xinglan wants to make a move on you, he absolutely will not do it at the White Crane Academy, under Xuanyuan Mingjing’s watch... His pursuit is the vast universe, he definitely wouldn’t want to ruin the master-disciple relationship with Xuanyuan Mingjing..."

"Secondly, work hard to maintain good relations with the Royal Family. The better your relationship with the Royal Family, the more Zhong Daolong or Zhong Tianque would want to use you, making it difficult for the Shen Family to act rashly..."

"They are afraid they might bear the crime of excluding a foreign body?"

"If the Royal Family needs someone, yet you are continuously striking, what is your intention?"

"I understand," Tang Fei nodded, acknowledging it.

After all, his relationship with the Royal Family was indeed very close; if not due to the wrong time and situation, maybe they’d already be close beyond measure...

"And the most important point."

"What?"

"Keep your distance from Phoenix."

"Why?"

"The Royal Family is willing to endure you because they need you. If you go too far, making Zhong Daolong intolerable... Have you forgotten Ling Yunxiao?"

"Are you monitoring me?" Tang Fei stared at the old man and asked.

The old man curled his lips and said, "The Empire Princess ended her foreign inspection trip early and rushed to White Crane Academy to visit her close friend first... In such a vast Empire, who doesn’t know?"

"Ah? Everyone knows?"

"You should watch the news when you have time," the old man said helplessly. "This is New Star, you need to constantly grasp the hot issues... especially concerning yourself."

"Oh," Tang Fei nodded. He indeed didn’t have the habit of browsing the news.

The old man glanced at Lu Siyu and said, "You should collect the daily news and forward it to him."
