Chapter 274: Harmless Bai Xiaofei! (1/2)

With a full stomach, Bai Xiaofei and Blackie headed to the agreed meeting point with Chu Qingtian. Looking comfortable, Bai Xiaofei seemed like a completely different person from the sleepless one last night. First was that he was in a very good mood after the special breakfast. Second was that he knew that the game had already started when he walked towards the meeting place.

At this level, an extraordinary detection ability was only one of the must-have abilities. Even if they didn’t have puppets with similar functions, the people around them certainly would. This was among the ‘basic knowledge’ that the three ‘teachers’ had taught him yesterday.

Strolling into the academy office area, Bai Xiaofei headed straight for one of the conference rooms. The moment he ascended the stairs, Chu Qingtian, who had been waiting there, quickly welcomed him.

“I see you’re not at all in a hurry. Everyone has already arrived, we’re just waiting for you.”

Chu Qingtian didn’t sound nervous. Regarding status, a vice principal of Starnet was no inferior to any of those present today, otherwise, the big bosses all over the continent wouldn’t have sent people over just a few days after he had invited them.

“Good stuff is never afraid of coming late, right? What's more, I arrived on time. Arriving too early will make me seem too eager, which is not necessarily a good thing.” Bai Xiaofei always seemed to make sense, at least Chu Qingtian seemed to have bought it.

“Then I'll see how you perform. Don't let me down. Also, pay attention to your performance, you’re representing Starnet,” Chu Qingtian said as he pointed to the Starnet Brilliance on Bai Xiaofei’s chest. That thing indeed made Bai Xiaofei look like an official representative.

“Don't worry, If I don’t squeeze advantages out of them, I won’t be called Bai Xiaofei!”

Leaving Chu Qingtian with a confident smile, Bai Xiaofei went straight to the conference room, pushed open the door, and made an inviting gesture to Chu Qingtian. In this kind of situation, Bai Xiaofei naturally wouldn’t be as casual as he usually was.

After Bai Xiaofei followed Chu Qingtian into the conference room, all eyes gathered on him.

Some furrowed upon seeing that it was a student in a first-year uniform, but when they saw the Starnet Brilliance on him, their dissatisfaction instantly turned into surprise.

Starnet Brilliance was given to a freshman?!

Many conferred with their own entourage about this. After exchanging a few words, the doubt quickly disappeared from their faces. Obviously, Bai Xiaofei wasn’t the only one who could do investigations!

“Xiaofei, say hello to your senior bosses.” Chu Qingtian’s solemn voice was a standard baritone, loud and dignified.

“I’m a first-year student of the Demon of Illusions, Bai Xiaofei. Greetings, seniors,” Bai Xiaofei briefly introduced himself as told after observing everyone's reaction.

“A hero from young! So our little gentleman Xiaofei earned the highest honor of Starnet when you’ve only just become a student.” The speaker was a lean man with a goatee. Although his face was uncomfortable to look at, the shrewdness written on it couldn’t be taken lightly.

“Master Zhang is too kind, I’m just lucky. Meanwhile, your alchemy is known far and wide and you hold a lofty position in the Devpath Merchant Group. It would be my best hope that you can give me some advice.”

Speaking of the Devpath Group – a special existence among the nine big groups that started out by selling medicines, their backer was the Alchemist Pavilion. What they never lacked was pills.

Bai Xiaofei had been informed of the appearance and names of the people present by Chu Qingtian yesterday, while he learned of their characters and habits from the tutor lessons in the Babel Merchant House, also yesterday.

“Heh, our little friend really knows his way with words, doesn’t he? They are as sweet as honey.” A middle-aged belle covered her mouth and chuckled, but there was a hint of pondering in her slightly tapered voice, and more was to test Bai Xiaofei.

“What are you saying, Mrs. Lan? I was just speaking the facts, I really don't mean anything else.”
