Xiang Beifei knew his grandfather’s system was extraordinary. Since he arrived in this world, his grandfather’s system had always been amidst snowflakes, occasionally popping out various strange things.
In this world, he could see everyone’s systems, and he was clear that sothing was wrong with such a system. Up to now, he had not seen anyone else’s system look like this.
This ti, his grandfather’s system seed to have awakened sothing, actually managing to draw him into it.
Where had he gone?
Xiang Beifei didn’t bother with Ma Kainian, who was behind him ticulously counting tea leaves and quickly made his way to the resting room.
As soon as he walked into the resting room, he imdiately felt a faint system aura flickering in and out of existence. Kong’s Mansion banquet hall had various system defenses throughout the shop, and Xiang Beifei was very familiar with these system defenses. So as soon as he entered the resting room, he imdiately sensed this aura that was completely out of sync with the entire defense system of Kong’s Mansion.
"Woof!" Xiaohei barked seriously.
"Right, it must be his system," Xiang Beifei nodded.
Xiaohei imdiately leaped out, began to roam the whole room, looking for what exactly was going on with this system fluctuation.
Xiang Beifei continued to replay the surveillance video of when his grandfather first showed signs of feeling unwell.
At that ti, his grandfather was clearly talking to Zhang Xiang. The two seed to be chatting happily, but soon, his grandfather suddenly realized sothing and looked at his own system interface.
And on his system interface, a few intermittent words appeared:
[...Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave, danger...]
[You House north thirty]
Xiang Beifei carefully looked at these words. "Bone Mountain," he had seen this word twice already. The first ti was in Xiang Tianxing’s Pioneering Stone, and the last ti was in his grandfather’s system interface.
This was the third ti.
Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave, what place was that? Why was there danger?
Xiang Beifei examined his grandfather’s reaction closely. His grandfather seed to sense sothing, continuously patting his own head, his expression appeared to be in pain. What exactly had happened?
He felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
The situation before him had beco uncontrollable.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei stood at the spot where Xiang Qingde had disappeared, barking towards Xiang Beifei.
Its white fur bristled, turning into streaks of white light, rippling through the air, quickly simulating the scene that had unfolded around Xiang Qingde.
However, Xiaohei could only simulate the appearance and lacked the specific abilities of Xiang Qingde’s system. But it barked twice again, "Woof, woof," appearing very perplexed.
"Teleportation?" Xiang Beifei asked in surprise.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei jumped onto the window sill of the resting room, looked down, glanced into the distance, then turned its head and exhaled a bubble, wrapping the residual aura in the room before leaping out the window.
The resting room’s window had iron bars. Xiaohei could squeeze through the gaps, but Xiang Beifei didn’t have the ability to pass through walls, so he handed the business license to Kong Daming and quickly turned around, running towards the balcony of another room.
Kong Daming anxiously asked from behind, "Xiaofei, where are you going?"
"Going out for a bit."
Xiang Beifei leapt from the balcony in one bound. Before Kong Daming could catch up, he had already stepped onto his flying sword, disappearing into the sky.
"Has the old man run into so trouble?"
Kong Daming shouted from behind, but Xiang Beifei had already vanished. He was anxious too, took out the surveillance monitor from the business license, and started to flip through the footage of the resting room, wanting to find out where the old man had gone to help with the search.
However, what puzzled Kong Daming was that Xiang Qingde no longer appeared in the surveillance footage. He only saw that Xiang Qingde had left the room and walked out the back door.
Xiaohei had already modified the surveillance footage.
"Did the old gentleman leave to go ho?"
Kong Daming didn’t quite understand, so he headed back downstairs, only to see Ma Kainian still fussing over a can of tea leaves, which instantly made him feel at a loss.
"What’s wrong with this guy again?"
For a mont, Kong Daming had no idea how to deal with Ma Kainian.
"Mr. Ma, it’s ti for you to go back," Kong Daming tentatively said.
"Don’t disturb ! The weight of this tea leaf is incorrect; I must find all its faults!"
Ma Kainian was very serious as he held up the black tea leaf that had shriveled to the size of a small soybean. He would not rest until he had pointed out every single fault of the tea leaves.
——
On the rooftop opposite to Kong’s Mansion’s grand banquet, Liu Shenghui stood there, watching as Xiang Beifei leaped from the balcony and vanished into thin air.
"Found him, let’s go."
He turned his head and whispered, himself already morphing into a shadow, following suit.
Two figures stood in the shadow behind the balcony. They remained so still in the darkness that one wouldn’t even realize they were there if they didn’t move.
When Liu Shenghui dashed out, those two shadows also rged with the darkness and disappeared.
——
Xiaohei was quickly sniffing ahead, tracking the teleportation direction with the scent left behind by the old man’s system.
This was difficult for Xiaohei; although it could adeptly harness various system abilities, since it involved a teleportation-type system item that transcended spatial limitations, it was really hard to pinpoint the destination directly.
"Woof woof!"
Xiaohei had gone three hundred kiloters out and landed in a forest within the city district. Climbing onto a branch and trying for a mont, it turned and shook its head at Xiang Beifei.
This was where the old man had last appeared.
Xiang Beifei surveyed the forest and then took a few steps forward. What ca into view was a heavily fortified building in octagonal arrangent, only one story high, labeled "Western District Transfer Station".
This place was bustling as people ca in and out of the main hall. The location served as a Teleportation Array transfer station, and since it was over a thousand kiloters from the outerworld wilderness, not even Martial Arts practitioners at the God Refining stage could reach it in one step. Therefore, inlanders who wished to venture to the outerworld wilderness to hunt desolate beasts needed to use the Teleportation Array.
This was a direct point-to-point transport, sending travelers all the way to the border outpost, where they would then be officially registered before being allowed to pass through the teleportation gate and leave the Jiuzhou continent.
Xiang Beifei had rarely used such Teleportation Arrays because he was still a college student, and the Martial Arts College aid mainly at training pioneers, requiring students to train in the outerworld wilderness. Hence, transport to the outerworld wilderness did not require any endorsent during school days; only the teacher’s approval was needed.
"Could Grandfather be going to the outerworld wilderness?"
Xiang Beifei felt sothing was very wrong. Like his grandfather, an Awakener without any self-defense capabilities, what was he doing heading to the outerworld wilderness?
He stood at the entrance, looking at the entrance of the transfer station, filled with confusion.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei quickly ran toward the Teleportation Array transfer station and slipped inside. About two minutes later, it ca running back, excitedly conveying the information it had gathered: "Woof woof woof!"
"This complicates things."
Xiang Beifei’s expression beca quite grave.
