On a near lifeless street of Shanghai, Feng Hui looked at the cute red-bloused girl. He was about to respond to her proposal of following their family, but he detected a distortion in space-energy nearby.

”Brother Hui was about to answer… did something happen?” Xie Na noticed this, and she was troubled. The cute red-bloused girl felt that her heart was about to leap out of her chest. Patting her plentiful bosom, she looked in the direction that Feng Hui was keenly observing.

A moment later, a white-colored portal took form, and Feng Hui coldly lifted his hand in anticipation. But after a brief scan, he dropped his guard, and he waited for the humans inside to walk out. ”Hm?”

Three figures emerged from the portal. An extremely handsome male with stylish brown hair, a blonde muscular male, and a beautiful brunette clumsily fell out of the portal. Seemingly, the three of them were all around the age of twenty.

”You are?” Liu Jun warily asked. For some reason, when compared to the monsters, this cold-looking teenager appeared to be even scarier. This was not normal. From childhood, he did not fear much.

”Feng Hui.” Feng Hui replied, and he was extremely casual about it all. This fact led the trio to believe that the teenager was the mastermind behind the portals. As if he had read their mind, he added, ”No, I'm not behind the monsters.”

”… I'm Liu Jun, these two are my childhood friends, Huang Dong and Qian Xue.” Shakily, Liu Jun responded. Did this teenager just read their mind? Previously, it was a brief thought. But after the series of mind-reading, the three believed that the teenager was definitely not normal.

”Mn.” Feng Hui observed the trio. While examining their physique, he had a sudden inspiration. He thought, ”At the school, it could be written off as a one-time thing. But this is too much. Shouldn't there be some visible side-effects from an outsider increasing one's power?”

Feng Hui believed in statistics. Such a miracle was not too likely; therefore, he deduced a hypothesis. ”Likely, the immortal qi is extremely compatible with all lifeforms. However, there could be some negative effects later on which are not visible on the surface.”

Feng Hui was not conceited. Since he had acknowledged the spellcaster to have reached a higher realm than himself, he was willing to adjust his concept of cultivation to meet the circumstances. Notions that he had formerly accepted as 'laws' in the Dragon Continent may not be.

The trio felt uncomfortable under the white-uniformed teenager's blatant scrutinization. Liu Jun held up his hands, and he said, ”We mean no harm.”

”…” Feng Hui was somewhat irritated. Before his reincarnation, on Earth, he had been stated to be a kind individual. But now, even with his aura contained, he could not blend in with the others? Did living in the Dragon Continent really change him that much?

”Look, neither do I.” Feng Hui sighed.

”It's true! Brother Hui is kind, and he's the leader of our generation!” Xie Na excitedly worshipped, and her mesmerizing eyes displayed extreme fervor. Within her gaze was the glistening light of innocence and hope.

”Is that so?” Liu Jun listened, and he responded in inquiry.

”Not to that extent, but I do mean no harm.” Feng Hui curiously looked at the cute red-bloused girl. He had a faint belief, ”Maybe I was wrong? I'm still kind-looking?”

”Brother Jun, let's believe them. Besides, the mastermind has no reason to appear.” Huang Dong declared, and he stared at the white-uniformed teenager. His emotions were unclear. Was it distrust or curiosity?
