Chapter 739: Brother Chen (2)
Li Xiaofei was starting to get excited. He had been trying to find a thread, something that connected him to Eden, ever since arriving in the Outer World. Now, finally, he had something to pull on. The fog that veiled this world was starting to lift, little by little, right before his eyes. At last, he had a clear target.
“Keep talking.” Li Xiaofei pressed.
“Brother Chen is truly heroic, noble in bearing, graceful as jade, dignified and dashing...”
“Greetings, Brother Chen!”
Song Shiyan slapped Zhou Yifei across the face without hesitation and said, “Unfair my ass. Brother Chen is a true expert, he had us figured out from the start. He’s skilled, bold, and far beyond what we can handle. I’m convinced. If you’re not, figure something out yourself. But don’t drag me down with you.”
He followed a hidden path known only to close allies and arrived at the secret encampment. He retrieved a massive cache of supplies from the Secret Time Pavilion within the Moonlight Treasure Box and handed them over to the village elder.
“Don’t worry,” Li Xiaofei said with a straight face. “Worst case, I’ll just hand you over to take the fall.”
“Haha, well said, no hard feelings after a fight,” Li Xiaofei chuckled. “We’re all just here in Chongque to have some fun. There are no grudges worth holding onto. From now on, we’re all brothers. I’m someone who values loyalty, treats his people well, and is easy to get along with. Anyone who can’t get along with me... should probably do some self-reflection.”

Wiping his hands clean with a hot white towel, Song Shiyan said, “Tell the others too, give it up. Stop plotting. We’re not playing in the same league.”
Li Xiaofei wasn’t the least bit surprised. There were indeed second-generation elites of Chongque City with unyielding spirits and remarkable talent. But those people would never associate with someone like Song Shiyan.
Li Xiaofei sorted the resulting mountain of dirt into different archives, classifying them based on their credibility of fact, half-truth and pure fabrication. He organized everything meticulously, then finally let out a long, satisfied breath.
