The first person to arrive was Xiao Bai.
After some time of not seeing him, Xiao Bai’s face had become even paler, dazzlingly white.
Moreover, his temperament had grown increasingly cold, making him resemble an ice sculpture, emitting a jade-like luster all over.
Tang Fei knew this was related to the cultivation technique he practiced.
Take Xie Pianxian for example, he was originally just a bit more handsome, but since he practiced the Water Technique of the "Broken Stream," he became more and more delicate.
Soft and charming, he had turned into the sissy he was today.
Tang Fei had heard from the old man that the cultivation technique Bai Wuxin practiced was called "Jade Marquis Technique," and his swordsmanship was called "Broken Sword Style."
"Jade Marquis Technique" was originally named "Royal Marquis Technique," firstly describing its noble status among cultivation techniques, and secondly describing its fierce and aggressive nature.
Later, a Taoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain changed the "Royal" character to "Jade" mainly to highlight its cool and noble qualities, which also aligned more with the Taoist trait of achieving without contention.
The "Broken Sword Style" was even more straightforward and direct, brimming with killing intent.
Its sword techniques consisted only of simple moves like chopping, slashing, stabbing, thrusting, sweeping, lifting, pushing, and slicing, totaling eight moves.
However, each move was extremely fierce, with no return.
Bai Wuxin had recently been practicing in the ice-and-snow-covered Manless Valley, revealing the essential elements needed for his cultivation technique.
Being in an environment with similar attributes could enhance the power of one’s cultivation technique.
"Xiao Bai, long time no see," Tang Fei said cheerfully.
Bai Wuxin frowned slightly; he didn’t like being called Xiao Bai.
But the person who called him that was Tang Fei...
What could he do about it?
"Are you alright?" Bai Wuxin surveyed the surroundings and asked.
Seeing the head thrown on the ground, he turned his head away with some distaste.
He had a slight obsession with cleanliness and disliked seeing such dirty and ugly scenes.
Of course, killing people himself was an exception.
He rushed over immediately after receiving Tang Fei’s message and followed the location shared by Tang Fei.
The fight between Tang Fei and Xie Pianxian had just ended when he appeared in Crab Valley.
"I’m fine. If I wasn’t, could I still be standing here waiting for you?"
"Xie Pianxian," Tang Fei replied.
"Xie Pianxian?" Bai Wuxin’s slender eyebrows furrowed slightly.
One had to admit, Bai Wuxin was indeed a good-looking man.
Even though Tang Fei considered himself handsome, he felt slightly inferior compared to Xiao Bai.
He was like a beautiful man who had stepped out of a national comic, an Immortal descended from the heavens.
Dressed in white, surpassing the snow, his black hair like ink.
His glances were peerlessly magnificent.
Bai Wuxin had always lived secluded in the orphanage, never dealing with outsiders.
Thus, the outside world still did not know of his reputation or appearance.
Once he stood in the limelight, recognized by the public, Jie Wencai, who enjoyed judging talents, would surely be thrilled and lavish his praises, right?
Xie Pianxian was also beautiful, delicate, and tragically attractive.
But because he was too effeminate, he lost his original charm.
This was not a plus but a significant negative.
At least in the eyes of Tang Fei, who had normal male preferences, hearing Xie Pianxian speak made his skin crawl with discomfort.
He almost wished to punch through his throat...
"Are you very familiar with him?" Tang Fei, seeing Xiao Bai’s expression, asked.
"I’ve never met him," Bai Wuxin replied: "Broken Stream Xie Pianxian, long renowned, with a far-reaching reputation... Even he has acted, the mastermind behind must be someone significant."
He paused, then asked: "Where is he? Didn’t you keep him?"
Tang Fei’s gaze swept towards the dark dump below the cliff and said, "He took a hit from my sword and ran off injured."
"Why didn’t you pursue?" Bai Wuxin asked puzzled: "If you had captured him, you could have forced the real culprit out. How could you miss such a good opportunity?"
Tang Fei then pointed at the Octopus Car’s gaping mouth and explained, "Mr. Sheng was poisoned and is still unconscious. If I had gone after him, what would I have done about her?"
"Troublesome beauty," Bai Wuxin found Tang Fei’s actions hard to comprehend.
Just a woman, was she worth such fuss?
Was she more important than finding the mastermind behind this?
"Heh..." Tang Fei chuckled sarcastically, these straightforward men didn’t understand the adorable and charming nature of girls.
Sheng Xinhua had helped him too much; no matter what, he couldn’t just abandon her while she was unconscious.
If something truly unfortunate happened to her, Tang Fei would feel guilty for a lifetime.
"Since you’re alright, I’ll be leaving," Bai Wuxin stated.
"Okay," Tang Fei nodded.
Bai Wuxin’s identity was special, and he still couldn’t be exposed now.
He was currently managing Ghost for Tang Fei, operating more easily from the shadows.
"Will they send someone else over?" Bai Wuxin asked, not without concern.
"They probably won’t," Tang Fei thought carefully and said: "But I don’t rule out their possibility of taking a desperate risk. Now that they’ve started, might as well go all out. End it all."
"Then I’ll wait nearby for a while, stay until you are safe, then I’ll leave," Bai Wuxin said.
"Thank you, Xiao Bai, you’re really thoughtful."
"No need for thanks, just don’t call me Xiao Bai again."
"All right, Xiao Bai."
Xiao Bai gave Tang Fei a cold glance, then his figure vanished into the night.
After Bai Wuxin left, Tang Fei finally dialed Phoenix’s phone number.
