Chapter 177: Say Everything You Have in Mind, I’m Listening
Translated by: pokka

“Dark Death is the most mysterious organization on the continent and is also the biggest tumor plaguing it.” Revelation slowly explained, a trace of anger creeping onto his face. The more he talked, the more agitated he beca. “They operate in an extrely secretive manner, and may be hidden anywhere around us. Even a neighbor who has been living next door for many years may be one of them. The mont their services are required, these hidden mbers will transform into wolves, killing all they need to kill.
“Over the years, any appearance of Dark Death has been followed by bloodshed. Each ti they appear, people with considerable status die. Many people want to eliminate them, but nobody can. The lee combat technique you had demonstrated, the clean killing thod, is a combat technique commonly used by the Dark Death mbers.”
Revelation stopped his explanation and fixed his gaze on Bai Xiaofei. As of this mont, Bai Xiaofei’s mind went completely blank.
After regaining it, he gulped and asked while staring blankly at Revelation, “Master, not even your Heavenly Secret Disk can locate them?”
It had been a while since he had first t Revelation. Through hearsay, he had gained an understanding of how powerful Revelation’s fortune telling ability was and now knew more about him.
“Nope. I tried many tis, and every ti I tried seeing anything related to the Dark Death, an incorporeal power would cut off. A huge amount of origin energy is required to fight that power. With my strength, I can’t break through it.”
An intense self-bla was present in Revelation’s voice. It was as if he had recalled sothing painful.
“Master, can you wait?” Looking at the pain Revelation was in, Bai Xiaofei made a sudden request, stunning Revelation.
“Wait? What am I waiting for?” Revelation raised his head and looked at Bai Xiaofei with doubt in his eyes.
“I promise you that one day, I will find out everything about the Dark Death. Whatever they had done to you in the past, I will use my identity as your disciple and avenge you.”
For so reason, Bai Xiaofei had suddenly grown emotional, and he had made a vow that shocked even himself. On the other hand, after hearing his completely unreliable words, Revelation sank into a long silence.
“I have already waited for more than a century. Another century of waiting is nothing,” Revelation said with a laugh. He then picked up the cup of wine in front of him and downed it. “I had never noticed in the past that the wine of the Thousand Aroma Restaurant is actually this fine!”
Revelation was now intoxicated, not from the wine, but from his emotions. Over the years, this was the most pleasant drink he had had. This was also the only ti Bai Xiaofei had ever beco drunk since entering Starnet Academy. While they were drinking, Rui ngqi arrived with so dicine. When she discovered Bai Xiaofei was fine, she placed down the dicine then silently left the room.
As of this mont, this room belonged to the master and disciple pair alone. By the ti they staggered out of the restaurant, the sky was already dark. Revelation was as graceful as ever, and stepping onto his golden arrow, he flew away.
He was supposed to stay until Bai Xiaofei’s New Student Tournant was over. Unfortunately, he had suddenly received a ssage from the Revelation Pavilion that forced him to leave at an earlier date. Naturally, he did not forget to make Bai Xiaofei promise that he would be the New Student Tournant’s champion before leaving.
Of course, Bai Xiaofei was definitely planning to beco the champion. After all, several billion Athyst Coins were on the line here. How could he allow that much money escape him?
After Revelation left, Bai Xiaofei did not return to room 807. Rather, he sat down in a corner of the public square and blankly stared at the night sky, sinking into deep thought. Both Huskie and Blackie were not around. It was unknown where they had gone to have fun. Having a master like Bai Xiaofei was definitely a stroke of good luck on their part. Very few animate puppets were granted as much freedom as Bai Xiaofei had granted them.
“Are you hosick again?”
Just when Bai Xiaofei felt like he could no longer hold in his emotions, Xue Ying’s familiar voice sounded behind him. Although he was drunk, he could still hear a trace of remorse in Xue Ying’s voice.
“Would you believe if I say I was missing you?” Now that he was drunk, Bai Xiaofei was much more courageous than before. He spoke so calmly that it was as if this was a completely normal conversation. The nervousness he would normally have whenever he flirted was nowhere to be seen.
“I will believe anything you say,” Xue Ying said, slowly sitting down beside Bai Xiaofei. “Do you know that because of you, I also now have the habit of staring at the starry sky? I wonder if this is a healthy habit to have.”
She spoke with a slight smile on her face. Under the moonlight she had an air of cold indifference about her, yet at the sa ti, this cold indifference had so sort of charm to it.
“There are things we won’t know if they’re good or bad, like my departure from my ho. Even now I am not sure if it was a good decision.” As he spoke with her, Bai Xiaofei’s intoxication started fading, and lancholy replaced it.
“If it isn’t for the fact that you’re my student, I will never believe you’re only 16 years old. Every ti I’m beside you, I have an inconceivable feeling that you seem to be the older one instead,” Xue Ying said after turning her head to gaze at Bai Xiaofei. This was the first ti she had ever told him her inner thoughts like this.
Bai Xiaofei smiled bitterly and spoke in a self-mocking tone. “That’s probably because there were a lot of people with troubled minds back ho. They had nobody to talk to, and as the only kid there, I beca the only person they could talk to about their troubles. Slowly but surely, I ca to know many things I shouldn’t have known.”
There was a reason for Bai Xiaofei’s capability to perfectly juggle so many roles. A person who was innately a genius at controlling their own emotions did not exist. Such a person would only co into existence after experiencing many things themself.
“Do you have anything troubling your mind at this mont? May I be your listener?” Xue Ying offered; then, she gulped and blushed. Nevertheless, she still resolutely gazed at Bai Xiaofei, waiting for him to turn his head and look at her.
“Are you sure you want to be my listener?” Bai Xiaofei could clearly see Xue Ying’s expression. Instead of voicing his troubles, he had asked a seemingly pointless question.
Xue Ying paused slightly before speaking, a trace of stubbornness creeping into her eyes. “I have never been a listener before, but I have a feeling I will be a good one.”
“Let first tell you a story.” Bai Xiaofei smiled and started speaking, unaware of the purple flash created by the jade bracelet Xue Ying was wearing on her right arm. “Once upon a ti, there existed a place that was cut off from the rest of the world. The people there had been abandoned by the entire world. No people or place was willing to accept them. Therefore, this place that was cut off from the rest of the world – a place one could only enter and not leave – beca their ho. Even though their bodies had found a place to settle down, their minds could not find peace.
“At this place that nobody could find, they lived on without any hope or goal. So of them decided to kill themselves, while so continued to mindlessly live on because of the slight trace of attachnt they still had towards this world.
“One day, everything changed.”
