Chapter 305: Old Man Illusionary! (1/2)
“Brother Yun, I'm leaving with Senior Sima to run some errands and won't be back tonight. If anyone is looking for me, just tell them I’m very busy and have no time to deal with them. If there are any problems, let Brother Feng and Brother Lu handle them,” said Bai Xiaofei to Yun Sheng who he bumped into as he walked out with Sima Ye.
At the moment, Yun Sheng was probably the only idle person in the whole Demon of Illusions because he was really of little help. Despite this, Bai Xiaofei still gave him the nominal role of patrol captain.
And he was the only one in the patrol squad…
“You’re going out when it’s getting dark? That’s so not like you! Are you going to do something bad?!”
Yun Sheng questioned with an odd face, rendering Bai Xiaofei embarrassed.
“Brother Yun, don't tell me you don't know Senior Brother Sima.” Bai Xiaofei leaned to the side, while Yun Sheng didn’t take his words to heart and casually craned his head over to see.
“Senior Sima who? Why would I know him… What the heck! Sima Ye?!” Jolted awake in an instant, Yun Sheng felt as if he had seen a ghost.
What the hell? Didn’t they say this fellow rarely goes out? How does Xiaofei know him?!
This is not a guy to provoke!
Thinking this, Yun Sheng looked at Bai Xiaofei with a hint of worry. He knew it wasn’t necessarily a good thing to be involved with the likes of Sima Ye.
In Starnet, Sima Ye had a nickname – the bearer of bad luck. To find people to duel with him, he had done his fair share of scheming and tricking others, and the final result was pretty much one-sided abuse in his favor. The other nine in the top ten on the Command Ranking had all been tormented this way, but there was nothing they could do, this fellow was too strong in the Illusionary Sandboard.
“It's okay, we’re just having a friendly discussion. I'll be back by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.” Smiling slightly, Bai Xiaofei made a ‘rest assured’ expression before heading out with Sima Ye.
Behind, Yun Sheng watched Bai Xiaofei, as he stood there sighing for a long time. However, deep down somewhere, he actually held a faint expectation.
If Bai Xiaofei can beat Sima Ye, it would be a huge wave of popularity for him!
Although Bai Xiaofei didn’t really lack popularity right now…
The Illusionary Sandboard was stored in the Gods Amongst Men as it was made by the former head of the faculty in conjunction with a large group of teachers. Each entry required a fee of 100 Amethyst Coins, so its existence had made a lot of money for the Gods Amongst Men.
Because many people were very curious about what it was, plus the point reward for making the top 100 was considerable, it never lacked challengers. When Bai Xiaofei and Sima Ye arrived, there were 89 people waiting outside.
Only one person could enter at a time, which was probably the most stupid thing about the Illusionary Sandboard.
“There are people still queuing, why don't we take a rain check? I promise I won't hide. I'm a man of honor!” Bai Xiaofei earnestly promised, but Sima Ye simply ignored it.
If you can claim you have credibility, this world would have no more thick-skinned people!
“You don't have to wait,” said Sima Ye softly as he then walked to the entrance of the Illusionary Sandboard. Upon his appearance, the students waiting first revealed a shocked expression, then everyone respectfully stood neatly in a row.
“Good afternoon, Senior!”
This wasn’t flattery, it was awe. And Sima Ye seemed to be used to this kind of awe. Having no intention to react to the students, he looked up at the big screen at the entrance where everyone could watch how the challenger was faring. At the moment, the person on the screen was leading a team of 200 people to combat the opponent, but the situation didn’t look good.
“He will be out in three minutes at most. I’ve brought someone to rush up the ranking. You guys don’t mind giving up a seat, do you?” Sima Ye looked at his junior students with a cold expression like he’d erupt into a storm at any time.
“Not at all! Not at all!”
