Chapter 306: Dialogue, Hearing about Bai Longfei Again! (1/2)

“Why, is it something that you can't say?” asked Bai Xiaofei when he saw Old Man Illusionary freeze.

“No, it's just that I didn't expect you’d ask this question,” replied the old man with a trace of loss in his voice, as if he had sunk into some memories.

“You weren't the guardian here before, were you? Or, let me put it another way, were you from the continent?” From just an expression, Bai Xiaofei made a very close guess.

“That’s right, I used to be a puppet master on the continent. Because I said something I shouldn't have, my body was destroyed. Lei Shan, who was present, used a soul tool to store my soul, and then I became the guardian of this Illusionary Sandboard.”

A not-so-long speech gave an amount of information that had Bai Xiaofei reflect for half a day.

“Are you a survivor from the ruins?” Bai Xiaofei asked softly, his eyes shining brightly.

“You know of the ruins?!” Old Man Illusionary was a little surprised, and he looked at Bai Xiaofei in disbelief.

“I heard it from someone else.” When Bai Xiaofei said this, the old man couldn't help but feel relieved. It wasn’t like the ruins couldn't be discussed, only that the exact situation inside was forbidden to be spread.

“I did come out of the ruins, and the destruction of the flesh was also because I said something about the ruins,” the old man finally answered Bai Xiaofei’s question with a sigh and regret in his voice. If he had known any of that would happen, he wouldn't have even tried!

“Can anyone outside see and hear what we are saying now?” Bai Xiaofei suddenly asked a question completely unrelated to the previous topic.

“Apart from your command scenes, nothing you say here will be known to anyone, and I will not reveal it to anyone,” Old Man Illusionary gave a reassuring answer with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei grew obviously excited.

“Do you know Bai Longfei?” Bai Xiaofei asked the question he wanted to ask most!

“Bai Longfei?!” Alarmed, Old Man Illusionary began to scan Bai Xiaofei from top to bottom for half a day, but he didn’t seem to see what he wanted to. “What is your relationship with him?”

“He is my biological father.”

“But you don't look alike at all!”

“I may look more like my mother, although I’ve never seen either of them.”

The last time it had been Revelation who answered this similar question. This time Bai Xiaofei had only had himself to rely on…

Old Man Illusionary was still suspicious upon Bai Xiaofei’s answer as he kept shaking his head and muttering, “Not alike, not alike…” But after whispering for a while, he still chose to answer.

“I do know that little fellow Bai Longfei. Although he was only of the Exquisite Rank, he had the strength to compete with a Legendary Rank. In the end, he successfully emerged from the ruins. Should no accident happen, he must now be at least peak-grade Legendary Rank.” From the approval when he said this, the old man obviously regarded Bai Xiaofei's father very highly.

“He's gone…” Bai Xiaofei’s tone was laced with a hint of loss, for he still had some attachment for this father who had never met. After all, he gave him life and gave him a playmate – Huskie – who had accompanied him since childhood.
