Xu Mo felt his goal was fully accomplished.
Alright, brother, I was just waiting for you to say that. Now my basic worth is pretty much elevated.
In the end, after a very “reluctant” negotiation, Xu Mo happily set Turing City as their next stop.
Although they weren't sure what they would do there yet, they would go first. The goal was to find a way to extend Bai Feifei's life.
Xie Xuan and Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed.
They looked at each other, not realizing they had been scammed. Instead, they felt great that they had finally invited this peerless master.
Bai Feifei looked at their relieved expressions, speechless and feeling incredibly complex inside.
They've literally been scammed and are still counting the money for him... The Old-Timer is too terrifying.
“So, does Turing City really have problems? Do we need to save it too?” Bai Feifei asked in her mind.
“That's not important. We'll see when we get there,” Xu Mo's voice was nonchalant. “Turing's current lifespan is definitely longer than yours. Worry about yourself first. You've lived another day, tsk.”
Bai Feifei: ...
...
The next day, they prepared to leave, doing final wrap-up work.
The reconstruction of Dawn City had just begun, with everything waiting to be rebuilt.
The crisis wasn't fully resolved. After Liang Shuguang's death, many secrets hadn't been fully unraveled, but at least on the surface, things were fine, giving Bai Feifei a sense of peace.
During this day, Wan Qianhong came to find her once more.
They talked about their next plans. Wan Qianhong wasn't too surprised to hear Bai Feifei was going to Turing City first.
“That is indeed how the Masked Hermit Society should act. I'll go with you,” Wan Qianhong said, then thought with some difficulty. “Tsk, but why are you leaving in such a hurry... I can't leave just yet.”
Bai Feifei nodded. “I... might have some matters to attend to. Actually, you don't need to come with me.”
Wan Qianhong didn't pry into her vague words and simply nodded. “Alright, once things settle down here, I'll go find you.”
“Okay,” Bai Feifei replied.
After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly spoke: “By the way, Wan Qianhong, I also have something I want you to pass on to Prophet Liu Yun.”
“What is it?” Wan Qianhong was startled.
“Regarding her reaching Sainthood.”
Bai Feifei's expression turned serious.
“Tell her, within the boundaries of Dawn City, she must not reach Sainthood.
“Otherwise, Dawn City will perish once more!”
Wan Qianhong: ?!
Wait, what? How would it perish again? Are there still unresolved issues?!
Meeting Wan Qianhong's increasingly shocked gaze, she continued:
“I can't explain the specific reasons, just pass it on like that.
“Say that this is Sinking Black's well-intentioned warning to her, and tell her to be a proper Prophet.”
Wan Qianhong stared wide-eyed, unable to speak for a long moment, before finally nodding with difficulty.
“I understand,” Wan Qianhong finally nodded. “I'll tell her as soon as possible.”
“Mm,” Bai Feifei acknowledged.
Actually, Bai Feifei could have passed on Liang Shuguang's final words exactly as they were, but in the end, she didn't use such an intense method, nor did she mention Liang Shuguang again.
Let that crazy past stay in the past. She decided to convey this warning in the tone of the Masked Hermit Society.
...
The day passed quickly. Without Xu Mo even needing to urge them, Xie Xuan and Xie Jin were already in a rush to leave with her.
They wanted to take her away as quickly as possible, so once they were ready, they immediately negotiated with the people of Dawn City.
Ye Hanshan and the other higher-ups in the city were stunned when they heard Bai Feifei was leaving so soon.
Although they had heard about her temporary departure at yesterday's meeting, they hadn't expected it to be so urgent.
And she had ultimately decided to go to Turing?
Well... let Turing City experience it too.
However, when they asked if they should hold a farewell party, Bai Feifei quickly waved her hands to decline.
Right at that moment, suddenly, a pink-haired girl burst through the door!
Bai Feifei was startled, turning to see that it was Ye Yu!
She had run very fast, her hair slightly messy, beads of sweat on her nose.
“Bai Feifei?!” She rushed in, looked left and right, and quickly locked onto her target. “Are you leaving already?”
Bai Feifei looked at her and nodded. “Yes, to Turing City.”
Ye Yu was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say, her eyes turning slightly red.
“Can you take me with you?” she suddenly blurted out.
Bai Feifei fell silent, already thinking of how to reject her.
Reason told her this was absolutely impossible.
She knew exactly what she was going to do. With the Old-Timer around, it was bound to be far from peaceful.
Moreover, her own life was still up in the air.
“Actually...” Bai Feifei hesitated, speaking tactfully. “This trip will be quite dangerous.
“So it's better if you don't come. Why do you want to go to Turing City with me?”
Ye Yu opened her mouth.
Her mind raced, not knowing how to explain it.
She knew very well that her strength was nothing compared to Bai Feifei's.
Forcing her way along would only make her a burden.
She just felt incredibly uncomfortable that the person who had saved everything was leaving right after things had finally settled down.
“Because...” Ye Yu stammered for a long time, muttering unconsciously, “Because I like you. I want to go and see it with you.”
The moment those words left her mouth, the entire room fell dead silent.
Ye Hanshan's eyes widened even further, his face practically screaming, I must be dreaming.
Bai Feifei was first stunned, then her face flushed hot, even the tips of her ears turning red.
In her mind, Xu Mo leaned back in shock:
“Holy shit, a confession?!”
Only after saying it did Ye Yu realize how easily her words could be misinterpreted. She froze, her face burning, and she frantically waved her hands.
“No... that's not what I meant, I mean...”
But looking at Ye Yu, Bai Feifei couldn't help but recall when they first met in the coal mine.
Back then, the one controlling her body and performing all those bizarre actions was the Old-Timer! It wasn't her at all!
In other words, the person Ye Yu had been deeply impressed by and pining for was actually Xu Mo, not her.
Flustered, Bai Feifei blurted out:
“Actually... you only like my spirit, not my body.”
Xu Mo: ?
Everyone: ?
