Chapter 40
Tu Feiding Arrives
“Tu Feiding? What’s going on with you? You promised me not to cause trouble, and I agreed to let you bring your people to our base city to search for job transition materials. What do you mean now?”
Tu Feiding glanced at Fang Chang and sneered, “City Lord Fang, I don’t like the way you’re talking. What do you mean by ‘what do I mean’? You should ask the people in your base city! Can’t you see what situation I’m in now?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Chang was slightly taken aback and immediately cast a probing technique on Tu Feiding.
“This… the Soul Roaming buff?”
Seeing this buff, Fang Chang’s expression instantly lit up, “You… are you dead?”
“Yes! If it weren’t for earning some military exploits on the Tianyuan Battlefield some time ago and exchanging for the Blessing of the Heavenly Dao, I would truly be dead this time!” Tu Feiding gritted his teeth.
Listening to Tu Feiding’s words, Fang Chang still had a skeptical look on his face. If it weren’t for the fact that this Soul Roaming buff couldn’t be faked, Fang Chang would never believe this guy’s story.
Although Tu Feiding was just an ordinary level 30 professional about to undergo his second advancement, he was the fifth young master of the Tu family in Jiangnan Base City. He was domineering and behaved like a bandit despite being a member of a prestigious family.
Relying on his family’s influence, he acted tyrannically everywhere. Because there were too many people who couldn’t stand him, the Tu family forcefully sent him to the Tianyuan Battlefield to temper him, earn some military exploits, and also sharpen his temperament.
Recently, he had reached the threshold for his second advancement and couldn’t continue leveling up, so they had to let him return for a job transition.
Fang Chang stared at Tu Feiding for a while before saying, “So, what Tu Young Master means is that your death is related to the people in our base city?”
“What do you mean by ‘related’? It was the people from your base city who killed me! I died by his hands! How could I not know who it was! No matter what you say today, you have to bring that kid in front of me!” Tu Feiding demanded.
After a moment of contemplation, Fang Chang said, “Even if you want me to bring the person in front of you, at least tell me who it is.”
“If I didn’t see it wrong at the time, that person should be called Mo Xiao,” Tu Feiding recalled and said directly, “Not only did he kill me, but he also took away my orange-tier weapon! Regardless of anything, I want him to pay with his own blood!”
“Mo Xiao?!”
Tu Feiding had just uttered the name, and Fang Chang’s expression instantly became serious.
“Are you sure that person’s name is Mo Xiao?” Fang Chang asked tentatively.
Without hesitation, Tu Feiding firmly affirmed, “That’s right, it’s Mo Xiao.”
“…”
Fang Chang fell silent for a moment, then raised his hand and summoned an illusionary panel.
He pushed it in front of Tu Feiding and asked, “Is this the person?”
The panel displayed a photo left behind by Mo Xiao when he enrolled.
“That’s him! Even if I turned into ashes, I wouldn’t forget his face!” Tu Feiding gritted his teeth upon seeing the photo.
“Are you… certain?” Fang Chang asked for confirmation once again.
Fang Chang was naturally aware of the bug concerning Mo Xiao, especially since Mo Xiao was from the Mo family.
However, no matter what Tu Feiding said, he was still a strong level 30 professional on the verge of his second advancement. Fang Chang didn’t believe that this guy would die so easily at the hands of Mo Xiao.
Although he had also heard about Mo Xiao’s feat of killing a level 5 mutant elite monster, that was still just a level 15 monster, which couldn’t be compared to a level 30 professional.
“Is there a problem?” Tu Feiding was also somewhat puzzled by Fang Chang’s expression.
Fang Chang put away the panel and said with a strange expression, “There’s nothing else, but the main thing is, this Mo Xiao just underwent a job transition yesterday. Are you sure?”
“W-What?”
As Fang Chang spoke, the two patrol team members behind Tu Feiding also froze, their gazes instinctively shifting towards Tu Feiding.
“Well, since you can’t come up with a reasonable explanation either, I’ll take you to meet this Mo Xiao,” Fang Chang said, not bothering to say much. He directly opened his contact list.
Just then, the door to the reception room suddenly opened.
Jiang Shan rushed in, saying, “Old Fang, something’s not right with the instance…”
Before Jiang Shan could finish his sentence, he noticed that besides Fang Chang, there were three other people sitting in the reception room.
“Tu Feiding? What are you doing here? Did you get your job transition materials?” Jiang Shan was not as polite as Fang Chang. Upon seeing Tu Feiding, his disgust was unconcealed.
Seeing this, Fang Chang cleared his throat and said, “Tu Feiding has something that requires our cooperation. It’s good that you’re here. Tell Mo Xiao not to enter the instance for now and come here with me.”
Jiang Shan furrowed his brows upon hearing this, then said, “Although I don’t know what you want Mo Xiao for, he won’t be able to come over in the short term.”
“What did you say?! Are you trying to protect that Mo Xiao in Yicheng Base City? Let me tell you! Whether Mo Xiao comes today or not, he has to come! Otherwise, I’ll have the Tu family directly dismantle your instance hall!” Tu Feiding said in a vile manner.
Jiang Shan’s eyes turned cold upon hearing this. “No matter how you cause a scene, he can’t come now. He discovered a hidden space in the instance and is currently trapped inside.”
“Uncle? What’s going on?”
Just then, Jiang He seemed to have heard the commotion in the room and cautiously walked in.
“?!”
When Jiang He entered the reception room, all eyes instantly focused on her.
And in that instant, Tu Feiding also noticed the Bow of Stars that Jiang He was carrying on his back.
“This is it! This is the bow!”
Tu Feiding shouted loudly, “This is the equipment that Mo Xiao took from me!”
“…”
The room fell silent at these words.
The Bow of Stars was the main weapon Mo Xiao used yesterday,
and everyone present had seen this bow.
“I mean, this bow is a good orange-tier weapon, but it’s a bow meant for archers. You’re a melee mage, why would you need this equipment? Why would someone rob you of it? How could he possibly know that you had this equipment? Were you showing off with it all the time?” Jiang Shan said irritably.
“So what if I was showing off? Can’t I show off a little? It’s not easy for me to get my hands on an orange-tier weapon!” Tu Feiding said without thinking.
“Now that Mo Xiao can’t come, give me the bow first! It was originally mine!” Tu Feiding said, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. “Little girl, since Mo Xiao could give you this bow, your relationship with him must be good, right?”
Jiang He frowned at Tu Feiding, “What are you trying to say?”
“Hehe, nothing much. Since Mo Xiao can’t come now, you can replace him and keep me company!”
