“Since when did you learn to threaten me, you little brat!”
“And you’d better listen. I have my reasons for asking, and even if you don’t tell me, with my skills, finding out her identity wouldn’t be hard, would it?”
Seeing Xu Fei get serious, Bai Feng stopped teasing and spilled everything. “That beauty’s called Kawashima Miki, our school’s famous ice queen. Even at events like this, she just dresses up, sits there, and doesn’t talk to anyone.”
The moment Xu Fei heard the name Kawashima, he perked up. “Kawashima? As expected, only someone from a family like that would be a cultivator.”
“But why’s she here all of a sudden? Could my fake death plan with the stand-in have been exposed?”
Xu Fei sank into thought, then shook his head, dismissing the idea that Kawashima Miki was here to spy on him. The reasoning was simple: according to Bai Feng, she’d been studying here for two years. No one could have that kind of terrifying foresight to predict Xu Fei’s arrival two years ago.
That would be far too frightening.
So, meeting Kawashima Miki here today was purely a coincidence!
“Since it’s a coincidence, that’s fine. Her cultivation level’s low, so she probably can’t sense anything special about the sachet I gave Bai Feng.”
Xu Fei could tell that while Kawashima Miki had traces of true qi, it was very weak, which put him slightly at ease.
Just as Xu Fei and Bai Feng were about to leave after resting, an uninvited guest showed up.
“Well, well, Bai Feng, you look stunning today!”
It was Qian Jiahang, the persistent tagalong.
Since their alley fight, Qian Jiahang now looked at Xu Fei with a bit more wariness, but that didn’t mean he’d given up. He’d realised he couldn’t take Xu Fei down with force anytime soon, so he decided to stick with his charming gentleman persona.
Judging by Bai Feng’s reactions, she was starting to fall for it. If Qian Jiahang kept at it, success wasn’t out of the question.
“Thanks, you look pretty sharp today too,” Bai Feng replied with a faint smile.
Instead of breaking the mood, Xu Fei deliberately stepped away at just the right moment. “Uh, Bai Feng, you chat with your classmate. I’m going to the loo.”
As Xu Fei turned to leave, Qian Jiahang sneered inwardly. “Didn’t expect this guy to be so tactful!”
Little did Qian Jiahang know, Xu Fei had already pegged him as a free bodyguard for Bai Feng, someone to be used when convenient.
At the same time, Xu Fei chose to leave because a new idea had sparked in his mind. Posing as Kawashima Ichiro’s disciple seemed plausible enough, but there were still some holes in the plan.
If he could get close to this Kawashima family beauty, it would be the perfect cover.
So, Xu Fei walked away, grabbed a drink, and headed toward Kawashima Miki.
