195 Safe And Sound
Edward’s expression changed slightly. He shook his arms, and the armor on his body bloomed with dazzling brilliance, forming a light shield around him.
Bang!
Shen Fei’s palm slammed heavily against the light shield, emitting a deep, reverberating sound. The light shield trembled and cracked, almost collapsing. Edward’s expression changed when he saw this, and he immediately retreated, dodging to the side.
“Lord Mayor, you already know of my strength, so I shall no longer bother you.” As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fei planned to leave the study room.
“Wait!”
When he heard Edward call out to him, Shen Fei stopped, turned back around, and asked, “Do you have other instructions?”
Edward’s face twitched a few times. He initially wanted to take advantage of Shen Fei’s inattentiveness to control him. However, he did not expect that Shen Fei’s combat strength would actually be so overpowering.
“Ahem… Wasn’t I only testing you just now?” Edward laughed dryly.
Shen Fei nodded slowly as he came to a sudden realization. He then said, “Is there anything else, Lord Mayor?”
Edward stroked his beard and chuckled. “Let’s make a deal!”
Shen Fei blinked his eyes in confusion. “Oh? Please continue.”
“If you help me retrieve a pill, I’ll tell you a secret!” said Edward.
Shen Fei’s eyes immediately lit up. “What secret?”
‘Edward has three martial souls, so he must be hiding something good.’
“Agree to it first.” Edward pouted.
“Deal!” Shen Fei agreed straightaway. He wanted to see what kind of secret Edward could give him.
Seeing this, Edward laughed loudly, “Haha, good man! Come, follow me. Today, I will teach you how to cultivate!”
Edward laughed as he took the lead and left the room. He brought Shen Fei to the most remote courtyard in the mansion.
“…What?”
The scene of the courtyard shocked Shen Fei greatly. This courtyard did not fit in with the rest of the compound. It was very simple, and there was not even a stone bench. There was only a stone pillar, standing tall, and there were many obscure inscriptions carved on it. On top of the stone pillar, there were all kinds of precious medicinal herbs and medicinal liquids, which emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.
“These are all the treasures I’ve collected,” Edward said proudly. In his opinion, these things were very valuable.
“These things are good, but they’re still too low-quality for you. However, if you’re willing to work for me, I can give you some good things,” said Edward.
Shen Fei was startled. He stared at Edward in astonishment and said, “Mayor Edward, you wouldn’t want me to do hard labor for you, right?”
The corner of Edward’s mouth raised slightly, and he said with a faint smile, “What do you think? Consider it!”
“No, thanks,” Shen Fei directly refused. He was his own leader, why would he need to be someone else’s slave?
“Fine, let’s start!”
“Alright.” Shen Fei nodded.
Suddenly, Edward raised his right palm and pressed it in the air. “Condense!”
In an instant, a black hole appeared out of thin air, devouring the surrounding spiritual Qi, causing it to gather madly within itself. In just a moment, all the spiritual Qi in the courtyard was sucked out, and then it turned into a white mist that was poured into the black hole.
Fwoosh!
As the spiritual Qi entered it, the black hole expanded rapidly and finally turned into the size of a football field. Then, the black hole squirmed and released a monstrous aura. A powerful force seeped out from within, causing the space to tremble as if it was about to collapse.
“This…” Shen Fei could not help but gulp at seeing this scene. His face was aghast “Wh-what is this?” Shen Fei’s face was aghast. He felt as weak as an ant in front of this power.
Edward smiled but did not explain. He pointed at the black hole and said to Shen Fei. “Kid, enter the black hole. It’ll send you to a strange place.”
“What strange place?”
“You’ll understand when the time comes.” Edward smiled.
Shen Fei hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he jumped into the black hole and disappeared from Edward’s sight.
“This brat is quite cautious. I was really worried that he’d run away!” Edward muttered to himself as he watched Shen Fei disappear inside. All of a sudden, his sleeves fluttered, and the eight jade talismans that had been floating in the courtyard suddenly flew into the black hole.
The black hole’s light intensified. Terrifying fluctuations spread out, and a destructive aura swept out.
Bang!
Under this fluctuation, the solid wall nearby exploded into a pile of rubble. Dust filled the sky and blocked Edward’s sight.
Edward frowned. The power of this array was stronger than he had expected! However, he still stood in the middle of the courtyard, not moving at all. His expression was slightly panicked.
While Edward was deep in thought, a ripple appeared in the black hole, and Shen Fei stepped out from it. His clothes were a mess, and he held a fist-sized, round pill.
“Y-you actually got out!” Edward was stunned when he saw this. He had risked his life to obtain that pill after many hardships and taking many risks, all for the sake of finding a suitable inheritor. This item was extremely rare. Even for him, he could only get one every ten years. It could help him improve his strength and comprehend profound truths more easily.
Shen Fei spread out his hands and humbly said, “I was just lucky enough to escape with my life.”
“Having luck is truly a blessing!” Edward laughed, embarrassed. He stared at the pill in Shen Fei’s hand with a fiery gaze. He wished he could snatch it away.
However, he took a few deep breaths and suppressed the greed in his heart. He said solemnly, “It took me after several months of hard work to refine that pill. Now, I’m giving it to you! I hope you can remember what I just said.”
“Uh…” Hearing this, Shen Fei looked at Edward in shock. He immediately shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t accept this!”
“This is a high mystic-tier pill. Are you sure?” Edward frowned. He was a little angry. He gave this pill to Shen Fei out of goodwill, but the latter actually dared to reject it. Was this not the same as looking down on Edward?
“Since you said that this is your hard work, it must be extraordinary. Moreover, I have one of my own,” said Shen Fei seriously.
Hearing this, Edward was startled. After a long moment, he let out a heavy sigh.
Shen Fei’s attitude and reaction had completely exceeded Edward’s imagination. He did not expect that the kid in front of him would not covet his medicinal pill. Perhaps, in this kid’s heart, Edward was nothing!
Edward shook his head and smiled bitterly. “In that case, would you be willing to take me as your master?”
“Acknowledge you as my master?” Shen Fei’s brows twitched. “This…”
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to?” Edward squinted his eyes and a dangerous cold glint appeared in them. “You’re thinking that I can’t bring you any benefits because of my low status, isn’t that right?”
