Chapter 200 Xiao Bing vs an Innate Master (1/2)

Gao Fei’s power was on another level compared with Xiao Bing’s. And yet he still needed to hide himself from that formidable person or organization. It seemed that Xiao Bing would be easily crushed into pieces if he ever encountered them.

Certainly, no normal person would take such a risk as continuing to accommodate Gao Fei. If the organization that Gao Fei had been hiding from knew the deeds he had done for Gao Fei, it would only endanger him.

But Xiao Bing was no ordinary man. He once had a conflict with the Teeth for a bunch of wanted men. He was even tortured physically and brutally during that time. And the wounds inside his body could sufficiently prove it.

And this time, Xiao Bing was also willing to take that risk for Gao Fei.

Xiao Bing grinned. “You think I’m a coward?”

“You asked if I’m afraid…” The resoluteness and dominance could clearly be seen on this man. Even Gao Fei was shocked. “I’m 26, the age of strength and youth. If I choose my safety over my friends, then what kind of a man am I? Will I still worthy of being called a Chinese man?”

Gao Fei stared at Xiao Bing in bewilderment as if it were the first time he had seen this man.

Xiao Bing grinned. “I have been an orphan since my memory started. And aside from this body, the only thing that has something to do with my parents is my name. Xiao Bing, a name that was discovered on my swaddling clothes when someone found me deserted on the street.

“Soldiers are the sword of the country. I don’t know why my parents abandoned me, but I know what a man they expected me to be—tough, decent, and brave. And besides, I was a soldier. What would others think of me if I cast these qualities aside?” Xiao Bing said gravely, “Just sit down like normal. I didn’t mean to ask you to leave by saying these words.”

Gazing at Xiao Bing with earnest eyes, Gao Fei suddenly spoke, “I apologize for what I just said.”

Xiao Bing grinned. “It’s all right.”

“But if they truly find me eventually, we will never put you in danger.”

Noticing that Xiao Bing was about to speak again, Gao Fei spoke first, “We have known each other for a long time, and my sister and I will never get you involved in this. They are just too powerful. You wouldn’t stand a chance.”

There was a hint of seriousness in Xiao Bing’s eyes as he listened to Gao Fei’s words. He stopped trying to convince this man. Xiao Bing was a fearless man, but that didn’t mean that he would risk so many people’s lives.

Now the only thing that he could do was pray—pray for the infinite delay of that day. But once the power in Xiao Bing’s body was unsealed, there would be no one that could stand in Xiao Bing’s way.

And the time left for him was less than two months.

Su Xiaoxiao had already left with Lil Bei trailing behind when Xiao Bing returned to the noodle house. Now, every night she would come to the noodle house to study with Maggie instructing beside her. At first, Su Xiaoxiao was too proud to regard Maggie as her tutor because Maggie was much younger than her. However, she was soon impressed by this little girl’s talent. She believed that Maggie was even more erudite than the teachers at school.

Maggie was a little girl with a strong mentality and a whimsical and erudite mind. Though Gao Fei and Maggie claimed to be brother and sister, Xiao Bing thought differently. In his eyes, Gao Fei seemed to be a loyal knight who was dedicated to his princess. So he deemed that this Maggie was no ordinary girl.

Yet, he just could not figure out her true identity. Xiao Bing had seen the royal princess of the Hawk Nation and he had not a single clue of Maggie’s identity.

There were still Gao Fei, Maggie, and Zhan Hongyan in the noodle house after everyone else had left. Zhan Hongyan now found a place of her own, so she left with Xiao Bing while the other two had taken their exits.

After they walked out of the noodle house, Xiao Bing asked, “Do you need a ride?”

“Yes.”

Then the two got into the car. Zhan Hongyan sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. The two then exchanged a look. Xiao Bing could not help sighing. “You look different than before.”

“Really? In which aspect?”

“You have become stronger. It seems that Gao Fei is truly a capable man. He did a wonderful job on you.”

“Gao Fei said that I have reached the peak of Clear-strength.”

Xiao Bing gasped. Zhan Hongyan was recently merely at the early stage of Clear-strength, starting to be one of the masters. And within half a month she had broken through two thresholds and reached the pinnacle of Clear-strength, which was only a step away from the Concealing-strength stage.

How was this Gao Fei capable of doing that? Did he have some strength-enhancing elixirs?
