After making the incision, Gao Zhuo's heart was still beating. Xiang Beifei was helping to stop the bleeding when Elder Luo uttered a light "Hmm," and said, "Strange, this heart is larger than that of a normal person."
"It's because it's too large that I'm curious. It looks more like it's been inflated or as if its potential has been prematurely overdrawn." Xiang Beifei had seen quite a few such hearts before.
"That's the situation, but we need to rely on..."
"He Caiwei and Zhu Yiji won't be causing trouble again in a short time. It's time to plan our next move."
Xiang Beifei currently lacked the ability to kill He Caiwei, but that didn't matter. It was actually better for him that He Caiwei was alive, for there were still many uniqueness values to harvest!
Whatever he exchanged, Xiaohei would take it, no negotiation allowed. If he didn't exchange, then his system would just be a decoration, something to admire but beyond reach. This feeling of untouchability would make He Caiwei even more frustrated!
Order at the school had been restored. Elder Luo took over Liangzhou University with decisive means and legitimate authority, and no one dared to object.
After all was dealt with, Xiang Beifei had to consider searching for Zi Hou.
However, just at that moment, he suddenly felt something was off. Turning his head, he found that Hua Jiuyue had somehow already stood up!
"You really don't understand the idea of cherishing fragrance and valuing jade."
Hua Jiuyue was still laughing fervently and, before Xiang Beifei could react, she had already clutched the golden cage at her waist.
The golden cage was peculiar and, in an instant, it disappeared with Hua Jiuyue into the void!
"Next time, remember to have heart-to-heart talks on both sides!"
Hua Jiuyue's excited voice echoed in his ears, but her figure had vanished completely, leaving no trace of her essence behind.
Xiang Beifei stood up with a slight frown.
A heart-to-heart on both sides?
Could it be that Hua Jiuyue, that person, had more than one heart?
"Somewhat unexpected," Xiang Beifei mused.
This was something he hadn't anticipated. Normal people only have one heart, and he hadn't considered the possibility of someone having two.
However, he had to admit that Hua Jiuyue was very cunning. If she couldn't win a fight, she'd play dead and then use the information discrepancy between her and Xiang Beifei to escape.
Xiang Beifei remained calm and did not pursue.
That golden cage was unusual—not an item from the system—and its teleportation capability was even more potent. Unable to find a trace of the other party, he had virtually no chance to pursue.
If he encountered her again, he would have to crush her body to examine it first.
Xiang Beifei's brows furrowed slightly.
Did that person fear his Spiritual Power flame?
As if his flame was her nemesis?
You see, Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power flame didn't have any particular restraining effect against martial artists. It was a simple and brutal fist flame. If the opponent was weaker than him, they'd be gone with one punch, but if they were on par with him, they could certainly block it.
At most, he could burn the opponent's Spiritual Power through a counter-attack, but there was no absolute restraining effect.
Those who feared his fist flame were only desolate beasts!
Since last year, Xiang Beifei had encountered every single desolate beast, and he had managed to suppress them with his fist flame, weakening their combat prowess. His Spiritual Power flame was the nemesis of desolate beasts.
So, what was the deal with Hua Jiuyue?
Actually, before coming here, representatives of the "Idle Faction" at the council meeting had suggested that they join forces to deal with Luo Yunxian!
With so many people, if they took action against Luo Yunxian together, they believed they had a chance of winning.
However, there were also several members from the "Leisure Faction" who were firmly against this idea. Their reasoning was simple: from what they saw in the video, Luo Yunxian hadn't even used his full strength when beating Zhu Yiji. If they really fought, even if they could take down Luo Yunxian together, at least some of them would be taken with him!
After ending the call, Xiao Sheng was around, which allowed him to be somewhat relieved. As a God-Refining-level expert, Xiao Sheng could handle things if there was any Unrestrained activity.
He continued inquiring among some people, including Elder Luo and Ye Changfeng, and even went specifically to ask Sun Heshun, who used to be his father's immediate superior.
Strangely enough, all these people had photos of Xiang Tianxing in various group pictures, but not a single video of Xiang Tianxing!
It was as if all videos related to Xiang Tianxing had ceased to exist.
He then opened his own file in the Jiuzhou archives. There was quite a bit of information about him. When he went there in January, he had shone brightly as a rising star in the newcomer competition. The archive contained a high-definition video of him defeating Hou Chengwu with a single blow.
"Xiaohei, can you erase the video footage about me?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Xiaohei pondered for a moment, touched the video with his little paw, and nodded: "Woof."
"Not this kind of data that we've copied, but the data in the main archive of Jiuzhou. You know, the one 'God' guards," Xiang Beifei said.
Liangzhou University's issues were not yet fully resolved, because there were still many matters waiting for him there.
How could Zhu Yiji and He Caiwei let go so easily after such a major setback?
As UR-level Awakeners, the Alliance would not truly punish them. At most, they would get a warning, an internal sanction, but it would be superficial; in essence, things would remain the same as before.
