Chapter 892 - Summoned! (2/2)

“You know him?” The perceptive emperor immediately sensed that something was wrong from Bai Xiaofei’s tone. He didn’t expect his random exclamation would actually lead to something interesting.

“In the academy, the principal and teachers often compared me with this senior and said that if we were born in the same era, the rivalry between us would be outstanding, so I have always been curious about him.” Bai Xiaofei made up an excuse so quickly that it gave the emperor no chance to doubt the truth of his words.

“It turns out to be so, but his affairs should be well known. Didn’t anyone mention it to you?” Another fatal question from the emperor.

“I also want to know why, but they always avoided answering when I asked. I could see that they were angry about what happened to him and also worried as if I would do something. After all, I’m a bit nosy.” Again, Bai Xiaofei replied instantly and flawlessly.

Indeed, no one in Starnet told him anything about his father. Lei Shan and those who knew he had a special relationship with Bai Longfei and would provoke people who he could not afford for the sake of revenge.

“I see. I think I should let you know because I don’t want you to follow his path.”

Pausing briefly, the emperor went on to say,

“Many years ago, he left Ethereal to travel. Later, when war broke out between Violethorn and Soarwind, he, who was a member of Violethorn, returned without hesitation, fighting countless battles and never losing one. In the end, however, he was inexplicably branded a traitor and became a wanted fugitive. That’s when he disappeared.”

It was a story that Bai Xiaofei had never heard before, throwing him into shock and confusion.

Wanted by the Violethorn Empire?! Why?!

Violethorn!! Was it you who killed my dad?!!!

Fury soared from his heart as well as the urge to rush to Violethorn immediately and question them. However, this impulse was quickly suppressed.

Bai Xiaofei understood why Lei Shan never told him about it. And, the reason why Luo Xi specifically mentioned Lan Qiushuang had to be for fear that he would choose Violethorn as his first stop.

After all, it was not yet time to go against such a giant like Violethorn…

“This is really the first time I’ve heard about it. If I have the chance, I will visit Violethorn and see if I can return my senior’s innocence. I don’t believe someone who graduated from Starnet would become a traitor,” Bai Xiaofei declared. He did not believe his father to be that kind of person. In his impression, his father was a hero and a good man from what everyone in the Gorge of Heroes had told him!

“I’m afraid it’s not that easy. It was decades ago. Even if some people still remember, they will still keep it sealed. Every empire has secrets that cannot be spoken of and this may be one of Violethorn’s,” the emperor lamented with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Like Violethorn, Ethereal also had matters that could not be mentioned…

“Alright, let’s end this topic here. You summoned me not just to tell me a story, right?” Bai Xiaofei calmed down as he got down to business.
