CHAPTER 887: CHAPTER 555: WHO IS THE TOMB GUARDIAN? (PART 3)

"The dream thing... how would I know?" Tang Fei followed up on Little Fatty’s words nonchalantly.

In his heart, he was also wondering, yes, who is the ’Tomb Guardian’?

Is it just a dream?

The three returned to the small courtyard where Tang Fei lived, where Lu Siyu was already waiting.

Seeing them together, she felt a slight disappointment but said nothing more.

Obviously, Tang Fei, Little Fatty, and Phoenix were closer, looking like a family...

While she felt more like an outsider.

"Where have you been?" asked Lu Siyu.

She had been waiting in the courtyard for half a day without seeing Tang Fei return.

Calling his phone went unanswered, like he mysteriously vanished.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

But seeing Tang Fei laughing and chatting with Phoenix... was he too busy to even pick up the phone?

It stirred a hint of jealousy within her.

"Huh, why would I have such thoughts?" Lu Siyu wondered in surprise.

This jealous feeling was so unlike her old self.

As a descendant of the Mechanical Ancestor, her life’s pursuit was the great mechanical endeavor.

Love...

Ugh, what a vulgar word.

Tang Fei saw Lu Siyu’s missed calls only after leaving the training grounds; when she called, he was ’unconscious.’

"I was training," Tang Fei said with a smile. "The fight with Little Fatty was so intense, I didn’t hear the phone ring."

Lu Siyu was someone he deeply trusted, even more so than Phoenix.

Because there was no conflict of interest between the Lu Family and himself, whereas Phoenix...

She was, after all, a part of the Zhong Royal Family.

The one occupying the throne now is her brother, Zhong Tianque. If she truly had other intentions... aren’t there enough cases of sisterly devotion in real life?

However, Tang Fei wasn’t planning to tell Lu Siyu the truth.

First, telling her would be meaningless, only causing unnecessary worry.

Second, the more people who know, the greater the risk.

Seeing Tang Fei and Little Fatty in training clothes, Lu Siyu didn’t say more. She glanced thoughtfully at Phoenix before saying, "Shen Wu has retaliated."

"Hm?" Tang Fei asked, "What did they do?"

Instead of answering, Lu Siyu opened her phone and played a virtual video.

In the middle of the living room, Zhong Tianque’s multidimensional speech video appeared.

Vividly detailed, it was as if Zhong Tianque was standing right in front of them.

The video ended at one minute and twenty-five seconds.

Tang Fei applauded and praised, "Masterful, truly masterful."

Lu Siyu glanced at Tang Fei, dissatisfied, "What’s with you praising the opponent? If they do well, it only puts us in a passive position."

"We have an old saying on the Blue Star: ’Know yourself and your enemy, and you shall win a hundred battles without peril.’ By recognizing others’ strengths, we can improve our own capabilities."

"In Zhong Tianque’s statement, there was no attack, no rebuttal. He even put himself in the position of caring for the King... You accuse me of colluding with the minister to rebel and usurp the throne, but I feel you’re forced by circumstances, having no choice but to do so. How would the public think after watching?"

Lu Siyu knew Phoenix wouldn’t participate in this discussion. After a pause, she said, "They might think Zhong Tianque is a good son, Shen Wu is a good minister... Zhong Daolong... Those words from the King must be false, said under duress."

Phoenix, upon hearing Lu Siyu first address her father by name and then change to ’King’, smiled and said, "Pay no mind to me, I’m used to it."

Lu Siyu felt a little embarrassed, as no matter what, he was Phoenix’s father...

Addressing someone else’s elder by name felt a bit disrespectful.

Although deep down, she truly had little respect for him.

She responded with a smile, as an apology.

"Exactly, which is why I say there is a master operative behind Zhong Tianque orchestrating these affairs," Tang Fei nodded in agreement.

"Should we strike back?"

"Naturally, we should retaliate," Tang Fei said. "When it comes to a war of words, there might never be a winner, but whoever stops first loses."

"..."

Lu Siyu was speechless.

This guy often comes up with ideas that seem absurd at first but reveal their logic upon reflection.

"Have the Hate Mountain side produce another video, let the King... state he’s under no coercion, laying the blame on Zhong Tianque and Shen Wu once again."

"Oh, and mention Shen Family’s bombardment of Phoenix Palace... after all, it’s known that the Phoenix Palace was blasted into a black hole by the Shen Family..."

"Focus on their blemishes, pursue them relentlessly..."

"I understand," Lu Siyu nodded in agreement. Over time, she gradually got used to and understood Tang Fei’s rhythm.

Tang Fei’s gaze turned to Phoenix again as he said, "They want to create confusion and stir the waters... we can only up the ante."

"However, this ultimately means nothing... those online, if they think your reasoning is sound today, they support you. Tomorrow, if they find you ugly, they turn against you..."

"What can’t be won on the battlefield certainly can’t be won online. So, we need to start a real counterattack."

"Hm?" Phoenix looked at Tang Fei, immediately understanding his intention: "You want to capture Brocade City?"

Brocade City is next to Red Moon City, forming a strategic triangle with Feng City on the eastern port side.

"No, I want to capture Feng City." Tang Fei’s gaze was sharp as a blade, speaking softly, "Taking Feng City would place Brocade City in a two-front deadlock."
