Chapter 439: Reaching a Consensus! (1/2)

Staring at the unwavering Fang Lei, Bai Xiaofei lapsed into a long silence. His face repeatedly changed as all kinds of ideas were taken into consideration in his mind.

Were the Thunderstorm Bandits bad?

For the people who had been handled by them, yes, they couldn’t be any worse. Massacre was a frequent choice, and they brought nothing but bad news for others. They were loathed by many all over the continent. Otherwise, the Globe Merchant Group wouldn’t have put in so much effort, even using the Skypatch Pill as bait to destroy them.

However, for those who have been helped by them, they were not. Those people might even regard the Thunderstorm Bandits as their saviors and the kindest people on earth.

As for the Thunderstorm Bandits’ own point of view, Fang Lei’s attitude already spoke for itself.

They didn’t consider what they were doing was wrong, and they would continue to do so, protecting those they deemed in need of protection and punishing those they deemed in need of punishment. Everything they did was just following their hearts!

Follow your heart, isn’t that what my parents told me?

In this continent, there was no clear distinction between good and evil. Everyone had their merits, except for people who were heinous to the core. Everyone had two sides, and it was already commendable to have a clear conscience.

Yet the Thunderstorm Bandits managed to do it. They retained an absolutely clear conscience. The only pity was that they sacrificed lives for it. From this aspect, they were even respectable!

And the road they took was exactly what Bai Xiaofei was also looking for. Bai Xiaofei was not a saint, he could not help the entire world. He could only take care of a limited number of people, for which he had to squeeze out benefits from others. From this perspective, was there any difference between him and the Thunderstorm Bandits?

In fact, Bai Xiaofei wasn’t even worthy to be compared to them. At least the Thunderstorm Bandits were willing to fight for a bunch of strangers, while he only cared on a small scale…

Reaching this conclusion, Bai Xiaofei slowly revealed a smile.

Different moral standards meant little common ground. Then what about having the same moral standard?

“You must have come to me for help. I am willing to cooperate with you!”

Bai Xiaofei’s first sentence to break the silence stunned Fang Lei on the spot. The change of pace was really a bit fast… After all, Fang Lei didn’t know what was going on in Bai Xiaofei’s head.

“Are you sure?” asked Fang Lei with a hint of suspicion. He felt that the situation was a little surreal.

“Humph, I warn you, do not set your sights on our little sister again!” Fang Lei stubbornly uttered words that weren’t quite appropriate for the situation.

Qin Lingyan and the others who were listening in at the side immediately revealed clueless looks.

Who is Qing’er?

When did Bai Xiaofei get involved with such a person?

Didn’t he say he didn’t know anyone outside? And it’s a member of the Thunderstorm Bandits at that?!

A myriad of question marks flew above their heads, everyone began to recall Bai Xiaofei’s past actions to see if they had missed anything. All four of them came up with the same answer: Nothing…

The only one with doubts was Qin Lingyan as she remembered Bai Xiaofei telling her about hiding a beauty in his room. However, she herself quickly denied this idea. That was less than two days, alright? How was it possible to win over a girl with a complicated background who he had never met before?

Well, Bai Xiaofei got a girl, and he even ate her clean…

“Sorry, I can’t promise this. There are some things that you and I just can’t stop,” Bai Xiaofei straight up retorted with a smile. Fang Lei wanted to say something back but was interrupted by his next words. “Since the ceremony is tomorrow, tonight is our last chance to prepare. Whether you get the Skypatch Pill depends on this, so…”
