1714 They are both Leaders, But... (2/2)

”Beijiang? The Black Vatican?” Bai Hongfei was startled, and his eyes glittered.

Bai Hongfei had gone to Beijiang about six months ago. He had heard rumors about the incident that took place in Beijiang from some older Mages, but was unaware of the details. The information about the incident was kept confidential, so not many people knew exactly what had happened.

To Bai Hongfei's surprise, Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou were involved in it, and it sounded like they had played an important role, too!

The older Mages had profusely complimented the people who had helped defend Beijiang from the invasion of the demon creatures...

Mo Fan glared at Zhao Manyan.

Zhao Manyan opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but he eventually decided against it.

He had the urge to spill everything. It was such an epic scene and battle! They were up against the Great Pyramid of Giza, but they were told to keep it a secret. He could not even brag about it to others!

”Teacher, I've already devoted myself to Fanxue Mountain. I heard about the incident in Beijiang, but I've only managed to learn bits and pieces...” Bai Hongfei was eager to learn the truth.

”Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaohou was promoted to major general because of his achievements in Beijiang, too… Why is everyone else getting the benefits when it was us that risked our lives by going into the Pyramid? Shouldn't the government at least reward us with a badge or a title?” Zhao Manyan grumbled with a sigh.

”Pyramid? Is it true that the Pyramid was there!?” Bai Hongfei was excited, staring right into Zhao Manyan's eyes.

Mo Fan realized that Zhao Manyan was unable to keep his mouth shut. However, he simply let him be, since Bai Hongfei was not an outsider. However, Mo Fan could not help but remind Zhao Manyan, knowing his personality, ”You better filter out the details that aren't suitable for children.”

”Of course, I understand!” Zhao Manyan nodded. He knew he could not afford to tell the others about the Ancient King and Mo Fan's Demon Element.

The journey was quite safe, so Zhao Manyan had plenty of time to explain how they had gone from chasing a member of the Black Vatican and tracking down a Red Cardinal to fending off the army of Underworld creatures at the ancient pass. He vividly told them how they protected the Magic Fire Beacons from the Black Vatican on the Great Wall.

In addition to Bai Hongfei, Apas and Yu Shishi were listening too, since they had never heard this tale before. Zhao Manyan was an expert storyteller. They were fascinated by the tale!

Zhao Manyan let out a relieved sigh after noticing the look in their eyes, ”Oh my… I feel a lot better now!”

”Why do I feel like you've heard that story from somewhere else!?” Yu Shishi twisted her lips. She subconsciously looked at Mo Fan. She was struggling to believe that Mo Fan was such a righteous person. Not only did he look licentious on the surface, he was utterly vile and shameless on the inside, too!

”If I was lying, I will not be able to erect for the rest of my life!” Zhao Manyan swore the deadliest oath possible!

”Teacher, you are truly my idol, I admire you so much! I knew it since the very first time we met! I strongly believe that following you around is going to give me a bright future. I wasn't wrong!” Bai Hongfei exclaimed to Mo Fan.

”Piss off! Did you forget how smug you were when I was helping you with your graduation?” Mo Fan cursed him back soundly.
