The next day.

Shen Fei and Su Muyu planned to set off back to Imperial University.

In the morning, Shen Fei went to the Su Family and gave a batch of equipment to Su Juncheng.

He asked him to first secure the equipment in Shencheng City’s development.

Originally, the plan was to take over the equipment market of the Wu Family in Tang City, but unexpectedly, Tang City was gone.

The Su Family’s connections there were suddenly cut off. Thankfully, they hadn’t sent anyone to manage it, otherwise, it would have been a bigger loss.

If the Su Family wants to continue expanding, they can’t directly squeeze out other cities. But this time, they do have a target.

As long as it’s from the Heavenly Pride Club, just suppress them.

After all, they’ve targeted Shen Fei.

Now, Shen Fei is entirely a member of the Breaking Abyss Army.

It’s fatal to be indecisive in the world outside.

Since they’re going against the Heavenly Pride Club, just follow the steps of the Breaking Abyss Army.

Moreover, Shen Fei hasn’t reached the level where he can form his own stance.

Unless he reaches Tier Ten, perhaps then it will be possible.

But for now.

He still has to rely on the big tree of the Breaking Abyss Army.

At least when the strong bully the weak, there will be someone older to help out.

As for the saying that relying on others is unreliable, no one asked you to entrust your life to others completely.

At least many of Shen Fei’s true abilities are unknown even to Luo Ran.

By noon.

Shen Fei was still contemplating the development of Shencheng when he saw Su Muyu, who had finished her studies, suddenly raising her eyebrows.

"Honey, come here."

"What’s up?"

"Nothing, this morning when I went to the Su Family, I actually talked about some things."

Su Muyu sat beside Shen Fei, somewhat curious.

"You used to stay at the second welfare home in Shencheng for a while, right?"

"Hmm? Yes."

Su Muyu nodded.

Shen Fei said with a grin, "I just remembered, I recall once helping a little girl who was bullied by a group."

"But it was a bit dark at the time, and the girl’s face was all funny and weird, so I couldn’t clearly see what she looked like."

Su Muyu glared angrily at Shen Fei, "You’re the weird one, that was me protecting myself."

Shen Fei only understood some of it from Su Juncheng earlier this morning, realizing he and Su Muyu had such an early connection.

All he knew before was that Su Muyu had been to the welfare home, but he didn’t expect it was the same one he was at.

At that time, he didn’t pay attention to the outside world, so he didn’t understand many of the children in the welfare home.

He just remembers he did help a little girl.

"So, even back then you wanted to marry me, hahaha."

"Still laughing, still laughing. You just remembered this late." Su Muyu heard Shen Fei’s laughter and pinched his waist.

With Shen Fei’s physique now, he naturally didn’t worry, and he hugged Su Muyu causing her to let out a charming cry, "We’re going back to school soon, let’s celebrate a bit first."

"What’s there to celebrate? And where is this kind of celebration, besides, it’s daytime now!!"

"What’s wrong with daytime, anyway, no one will disturb us."

"Moreover, haven’t you heard of daylight? I’m a beggar. It has to be daylight!"

"Don’t misuse idioms, you beast!"

"Right, right~"

...

Because they were returning to school, the two stopped themselves, fearing they would be spent by the time they get there.

But when Su Muyu got up, she hummed, "Have you gotten stronger?"

If it weren’t for her growing stronger, Su Muyu felt she might faint.

"The Stabbing Immortal got stronger. An assassin must have swift hands."

Su Muyu’s charming eyes rolled with amusement, she said with a smile, "Hey, shouldn’t you find me a companion?"

"Don’t test me, I only love you and no one else." Shen Fei gave Su Muyu a sideways glance.

This prompted Su Muyu to smile softly.

Seeing Shen Fei being so considerate, the idea of those mentioned collars wasn’t unthinkable, after all, they were merely couples’ little interests...

When the two packed up and were about to leave.

They noticed the four-day anomaly in the sky had vanished, indicating the godly battle had concluded.

Upon seeing this.

"Hmm? Wonder how it turned out."

Shen Fei felt a bit worried.

But shortly after, Shen Fei received a call from Luo Ran, "When are you coming back to school?"

"We’re ready to head back."

"Come to see me tonight, I’ve got some good stuff for you."

Upon hearing this.

Shen Fei’s previously worried heart eased, since Luo Ran had gotten some good stuff.

There’s no doubt Luo Ran had the upper hand.

"Alright, um, Master, nothing serious happened, did it? Your disciple still needs you to rely on like this big tree."

"What can that fake saintess do to me? Over the years, people think I became a nun instead of roaming around."

Listening to his elegant but somewhat aggressive mentor, Shen Fei could only smile, "That’s alright then, that’s alright."

Su Muyu stayed quietly beside, hearing Shen Fei hang up, "Master seems okay, right?"

"Yes." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Luo Ran’s words are quite trustworthy.

During their time together, Shen Fei realized that despite Luo Ran’s gentle temper, it was probably brought by time.

But she was very straightforward.

Like back then, using him as bait to severely harm the Nest Mother without any pretense.

She directly told him the benefits would not miss him.

This kind of person is still easy to get along with.

"That works then."

Su Muyu nodded as well. The two of them got into the Su Family’s car, where Su Muyu continued to watch the video.

"Working hard?"

"No choice, this time in the new student competition, Master said our Grandmaster will attend as well.

Grandmaster is a Tier Eight Warlock, if I don’t perform well, it’ll be embarrassing."

"Your Grandmaster? Which king is he?"

Shen Fei stroked his chin, surprised to learn that Zhu Xiao’s aunt’s master turned out to be a king as well?

"He’s currently stationed at the North China Military Region, preventing the abyssal creatures from the Ice Abyss from attacking, known as the ’Evil Spirit Warlock’ Spirit Witch King."

"North China Military Region, huh. They must be quite strong."

The biggest defense pressure for the North China Military Region is the Ice Abyss.

The Ice Abyss is different from the Abyss that Wu Xia is still guarding.

These practically trap the Abyss within their own domains.

But the Ice Abyss is nearly bordering Blue Star, once part of the Siberian territory, now entirely the domain of the Ice Abyss.

And it’s the North China Military Region that’s defending that area, with those stationed there almost being the strongest of the same-tier professionals.

"Yeah."

"But this time you’re guaranteed first place in the new student competition, after all, I’m not counted in the quota."

Mainly because Su Muyu’s level is too advanced, and with Su Muyu’s mastery of his own skills,

it’s enough to crush all the freshmen at Imperial University.

Su Muyu shook his head, "The new student competition is just one of them, I heard there’s also an exchange competition this time."

Shen Fei was puzzled, "Huh? Why didn’t I know about this."

Now they don’t even consider him a student anymore—Su Muyu was the one who told him he had to participate in the new student competition.

He’s just a little stronger, surely his qualifications as a student shouldn’t be stripped away, right?

"It hasn’t been announced yet, and I heard from Fang Ruxue that members of the aristocratic families are coming.

They want to see the students of the top universities." Su Muyu explained.

"Fang Ruxue didn’t tell me."

Su Muyu laughed, "She said that whether they’re aristocratic family members or not, it doesn’t really matter to you.

At least at this age, there’s absolutely no one with venerable power.

Moreover, the exchange competition is for those with similar strengths.

You’re more suited to be a judge; participating as a competitor would be a bit much."

"So there’s this event, but now with the aristocratic families suddenly emerging, it seems to be related to the Ice Abyss."

"But wasn’t Fang Ruxue said to be the leader of this generation of the Fang Family?

Why isn’t she being trained within the aristocratic family and instead attending Imperial University?"

Su Muyu shook his head, "I don’t know, maybe for influence? Or a test?"

Logically speaking, training within the aristocratic family might be faster for Fang Ruxue.

"The Fang Family."

Shen Fei pondered, the Fang Family seems to have a rather unique position among aristocratic families.

Both the Breaking Abyss Army and the Heavenly Pride Club have traces of the Fang Family.

Although most of the Fang Family’s forces are indeed in the Heavenly Pride Club, there are also some forces like Fang Qingluan and Fang Ruxue placed outside.

And Fang Qingluan seems to be the leader of the previous generation, could it be that the Fang Family’s leadership is cultivated differently?

This family is quite interesting.

And he’d heard about Fang Qingluan once having a falling out with the Fang Family, but observing the interactions between Fang Qingluan, Fang Ruxue, and Fang Lingyun,

it hasn’t escalated to the point of completely breaking ties.

"Speaking of which, how is the Fang Family leader determined?"

Shen Fei suddenly asked.

Su Muyu shook her head, "I don’t know either.

But I did learn a bit before, it seems to have been decided after Fang Ruxue awakened her profession."

"Moreover, the Fang Family of this generation isn’t exclusively a single profession."

Shen Fei shook his head, this family might have secrets behind it.

If the leader of a family,

is undoubtedly the next sect leader, like Fang Qingluan, the leader of the previous generation.

It’s hard to imagine a falling out over a marriage alliance, and who would let the next sect leader marry out?

"Chaotic Sword King’s profession is Sword Array Master..."

"Fang Ruxue is an Ancient Array Master..."

Shen Fei stroked his chin, could it be that becoming the leader of the Fang Family requires something related to arrays?

And the marriage alliance thing, to be honest, when he looked into it, he found no one disclosed who Fang Qingluan was actually marrying.

He naturally couldn’t ask Fang Qingluan or Fang Ruxue, they probably wouldn’t answer him either.

’Might as well ask Master later.’

Shen Fei’s curiosity about the Fang Family wasn’t just a fleeting interest; he knew that the Fang Family’s influence in the Heavenly Pride Club was significant.

You could even say they were one of the leading forces.

Since he was going to confront the Heavenly Pride Club, he certainly couldn’t neglect understanding the Imperial City Fang Family.

Furthermore, the Fang Family always gave him a peculiar feeling.

He always felt there was something hidden behind it.

Su Muyu saw Shen Fei lost in thought and smiled, "Could it be you’re interested in Fang Ruxue?"

Shen Fei snapped out of it upon hearing Su Muyu’s teasing, "I have no such intentions; I’m just a bit curious about the Fang Family."

"You keep talking like that; just don’t get mad if you really pursue it."

Su Muyu fluffed up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "You dare!"

"Getting flustered... see, playing yourself."

"I really don’t want to get involved with those aristocratic families; Marshal Meng would be the first to not let me go."

Su Muyu chuckled, quickly leaning towards Shen Fei with a playful smile, "I’m just saying, just saying. Don’t be mad, honey."

"And there’s the driver here."

The driver remained silent, pressing a button on the steering wheel, and suddenly a partition rose between the backseat and the front.

"They have tech like this?"

Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, while Su Muyu didn’t find it surprising, "It’s normal, after all, sometimes you talk about things in the car."
