CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27 WEIGHING PROS AND CONS

Contact Huang Xiong’s master?

Bai Que frowned upon hearing this.

When he recruited Huang Xiong, he had naturally done some research and knew that Huang Xiong’s master was a renowned expert!

And the organization his master belonged to was an international superpower!

If news of Huang Maxiong’s death were passed on to his master, would his master use it as an excuse to invade Yuntai?

Bai Que could tolerate sharing a slice of the pie, but if such a superpower were to invade Yuntai, with his master’s formidable skills, would there still be room for Yuntai and Black Tiger Hall?

Thinking of this, Bai Que hesitated and said, "No! Huang Xiong was already so formidable; his master must be even more terrifying. Unless absolutely necessary, we must not reveal his death!"

"But... but the Flame Dragon Association has Zhou Tian now. We can’t hold them off!" Scar nervously exclaimed.

"If you can’t hold them off, then find a way! Otherwise, what’s the point of keeping you around?!"

Bai Que slammed the table and roared in anger.

Scar, terrified by Bai Que’s fury, immediately knelt down in fear.

Just then, a subordinate rushed in shouting, "Boss! We found him! We found him!"

"Found who? What did you find?"

Bai Que, still seething, yelled at the subordinate.

"We... we found Ye Fei!" the subordinate stammered in fear.

"What? Found him? Where? Speak up!" Bai Que demanded immediately.

"At... Yuntai University!"

The subordinate nervously handed over a student ID and said, "Turns out this Ye Fei is also a Yuntai University student, just like Young Master Bai Meng!"

"What? He’s also a Yuntai University student?"

Bai Que quickly opened the student ID.

Upon seeing Ye Fei’s photo, he kicked Scar so hard that Scar was sent sprawling.

"M-Master? What... what did I do now?" Scar asked, trembling.

"Take a look for yourself!"

Bai Que tossed the student ID onto Scar’s face.

Scar hastily picked it up to take a look and immediately realized what had happened. The person they saw at Ye Fei’s house that day had indeed been Ye Fei, but since none of them had known what he looked like, they failed to recognize him.

"Investigate! Find his whereabouts immediately and kill him. Avenge my son!" Bai Que declared with murderous intent.

"Yes, Boss! I’ll take care of it right away!"

With that, Scar hurriedly dragged the subordinate and fled the hall as if escaping for their lives, leaving Bai Que alone, his eyes as cold as ice...

Yuntai University.

The second half of the semester had finally begun.

Since this was the last semester before graduation, it was particularly significant for the students.

This semester not only marked the end of their university life but also signaled the start of their transition into society, where they would begin to work and support themselves.

Thus, before this final semester began, Yuntai University organized large motivational meetings in each class to help students better understand the life ahead.

As a member of Yuntai University, Ye Fei naturally arrived in his class.

As always, he remained low-key and as usual, invisible to everyone.

While the teacher was giving motivational speeches on the podium, the students beneath were chatting away, uninterested.

"I don’t even need to find a job after graduation. What’s the point of all this? Hey! Have you guys decided where to go after graduation? Are you all heading to your parents’ companies?"

The liveliest girl in Ye Fei’s class, Han Fenfen, asked curiously.

"Where else? I’ll just hang out at my dad’s company!"

"My uncle works at a bank. He’ll probably get me a relaxed position there."

"My dad wants me to start at the grassroots level for two years, then see if I can land a minor position in the city government!"

The boys and girls around nonchalantly replied one after another.

Half the students at Yuntai University were admitted for their good grades, while the other half came from wealthy families.

Judging from these students’ conversations, it was evident that over 80% of Ye Fei’s class came from privileged backgrounds. No wonder they had earned the nickname "Second Generation Class."

In other words, over 80% of this class were rich second-generation kids who didn’t have to worry about work after graduation.

Looking at his classmates’ calm and disdainful faces, Ye Fei could only shake his head in silence.

A car accident, a betrayal—these two events had changed Ye Fei’s entire life!

If not for how Meng Ying and Bai Meng treated him, leading him by sheer coincidence to devour the soul of the Soul-controlling Demon and become a cultivator, where would he be now?

He wouldn’t be able to sit here so calmly, listening to these rich second-generation kids brag about their smooth futures.

For Ye Fei, studying was no longer important. The only reason he came back for this semester was to get his diploma and give his parents back in his hometown some closure.

As for work?

If he didn’t achieve Nascent Soul in ten years, he wouldn’t even be alive, so what was the point of talking about work?

If he did succeed in forming a Nascent Soul within ten years, then he would have a chance to become a starry sky dominator like the Soul-controlling Demon, towering above Earth and reigning supreme even across countless cultivation planets billions of light years away.

Ten years from now, at best, these rich second-generation kids around him would become regional magnates or political bigwigs.

By then, they wouldn’t even qualify to look up to him.

Noticing Ye Fei’s calm indifference toward their chatter and the faint sneer on his lips, a male classmate named Shi Tian smirked and looked at him playfully. "Ye Fei, right? We’ve been classmates for four years, and I’ve never heard you say much. Don’t you want to share your plans after graduation?"

Plans after graduation?

Upon hearing this, the others laughed mockingly.

While they hadn’t paid much attention to Ye Fei, they all knew that he was just a poor student from an ordinary family, completely out of their league.

Moreover, over the past four years, Ye Fei had worked part-time to pay for tuition and the rent of Wu Xia’s apartment, so he had inevitably fallen behind in his studies.

What kind of development could someone with poor grades and no family wealth possibly have?

Clearly, Shi Tian’s question was deliberate.

Seeing that his question had sparked laughter, Shi Tian continued mockingly, "Oh, I get it now. Ye Fei, are you trying to act cool to attract the attention of our Han Beauty? If you manage to latch onto Miss Han, you could save yourself fifty years of hard work!"

"Hmph! Watch your mouth!" Han Fenfen immediately snorted coldly, not even sparing Ye Fei a glance.

In her eyes, Ye Fei was a complete nobody, an utter waste of space, unworthy of comparison to herself.

So, when Shi Tian associated them together, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

Shi Tian noticed her reaction and quickly apologized, "Han Beauty, don’t be mad! I was just joking. You, Miss Han, are no ordinary person. No riffraff could dare to dream about you, right, everyone? Haha!"
