Chapter 201: Who Exactly Is This Young Man?

Chapter 201: Who Exactly Is This Young Man?I was just kidding; it shouldn't have triggered a city-wide alarm.

Li Xiaofei stepped outside. The alarm was coming from the distant city walls. It was a beast tide! Li Xiaofei immediately realized what was happening.

The alarm is exactly like the one that sounded during the last beast tide. No. This time, the alert level is higher. A beast tide of even greater scale.

The alarm echoed through the sky, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Countless people emerged from their homes and gathered in the square as they looked toward the city walls.

The people of the base city were all too familiar with this kind of alarm after countless years of wars against the star beasts. They had learned to gauge the scale and threat level of a beast tide based on the volume, frequency, and duration of the alarm. The square outside the small building was filled with people.

"What happened?" asked Tan Qingying as she stepped out. She was still wrapped in Li Xiaofei's towel and coat.

In the morning sunlight, the girl looked as beautiful as an elf who had just emerged from a secret realm. Countless gazes fell on her in an instant.

The boss actually brought a woman home for the night? The boss sure has good taste. This girl is stunning.

Li Junjie instinctively greeted her, "Good morning, sister-in-law."

The boss's woman should be addressed as sister-in-law by his followers.

Li Xiaofei was speechless.

Tan Qingying cheerfully waved at everyone, "Good morning, brothers."

The small square erupted in cheers.

"What's all the fuss about? Hurry up and go eat. After you finish, gather and head to the city wall to assist in the battle." Chu Yuntian shouted to disperse the crowd.

He knew the girl’s background.

The boss had actually slept with the city leader's daughter. Impressive.

"It's not what you all think..." Li Xiaofei tried to explain, but the crowd had already dispersed quickly.

The two of them quickly finished breakfast in the office. Then Tan Qingying rode her bike back on her own. Li Xiaofei, on the other hand, hurried to the city wall with the experts from the Cloudy Sky Gang.

However, halfway there, he received a light core call from Officer Wu Junzhuang, informing him that the beast tide had already retreated, and the crisis was temporarily over, so the gang's assistance was no longer needed. So they turned back.

The next day, which happened to be Monday, Li Xiaofei finished dealing with the gang's matters and finally returned to school.

***

Li Xiaofei unexpectedly ran into Bai Longfei at the school gate.

"I was beginning to think that you were getting poached by another school." Bai Longfei greeted Li Xiaofei enthusiastically, "You've been on leave for so long, where did you go?"

Li Xiaofei replied, "I went on a blind date."

"What?" Bai Longfei was shocked. "A blind date?"

"Yeah, I'm planning to live off someone else, just like you. I was looking for a 65-year-old rich lady as a girlfriend," replied Li Xiaofei.

Bai Longfei immediately raised his middle finger. "There's only one word for that—damn!"

The two handsome men, with their arms around each other’s shoulders, looked rather mischievous. They drew a lot of attention as they headed for their morning exercises.

After finishing the morning exercises, Li Xiaofei went to Principal Chen Fei to officially end his leave.

"Is everything resolved?" Chen Fei asked.

Li Xiaofei nodded and said, "Yes, everything's taken care of. I won't be wasting any more time on gang matters in the future."

Chen Fei's peach blossom eyes immediately lit up with a satisfied smile. He said, "I'm glad you realize it was a waste of time."

Li Xiaofei continued, "There are two more things I'd like to discuss with you, Principal."

Chen Fei instantly grew wary as he said, "Don't push your luck. There's no way I'm giving you more time off."

"It's something good," Li Xiaofei said as he pulled out a carefully transcribed version of the Pity Flower Treasure Manual. "This is a miscellaneous manual that Inspector Li gave me. I think some of its contents could be useful for courses at our school. Would you take a look?"

Principal Chen Fei, pleased with the way Li Xiaofei said "our school," casually took the manuscript and started reading. But his satisfied look soon gave way to a serious expression.

He looked up and asked, "Is this really a manual the Inspector gave you?"

Li Xiaofei nodded like a well-behaved lamb.

"This manual contains a lot of material that even universities might not cover, yet it's explained so clearly that it could easily be taught at the high school level. If we offer it as a course at our school, it could definitely become our flagship class."

Chen Fei grew more excited as he continued flipping through the manual.

"If we had a manual like this a few years ago, Red Flag High School wouldn't have fallen into such decline..."

He burst into laughter and quickly made his way out of the office. "I'm going to discuss setting up this course with Old Qin. You should hurry up and catch up on your lessons."

"But I haven't even mentioned the second thing yet..." Li Xiaofei said.

"The second thing can wait," said Chen Fei, walking off at lightning speed.

Li Xiaofei scratched his head and muttered aloud, "Is donating ten million star coins to the school really not that important?"

Whoosh.

Chen Fei suddenly reappeared in front of him as if he had teleported. "What did you just say? How much are you donating?"

Li Xiaofei jumped in surprise and exclaimed, "Principal, didn't you just leave? How are you back so quickly?"

A visibly excited Chen Fei grabbed Li Xiaofei by the shoulders and said, "You weren't joking just now, were you?"

Li Xiaofei replied, "If you think that's too much, Principal, I could donate less..."

"Only a fool would think that's too much." Chen Fei shouted, "Quick, tell me you're not teasing me!"

Li Xiaofei nodded and said, "I recently made some money and wanted to give back to my dear school, so I decided to donate ten million star coins."

"You're saying ten million star coins, not one thousand star coins, and not one million star coins?" Chen Fei had to double-check.

Li Xiaofei could only nod.

"Hahahahahaha!" Chen Fei suddenly burst into laughter as he started spinning in circles on the spot.

Uh-oh. Did this old bandit just get so excited that he lost his mind?

"Where did you get so much money?" Chen Fei suddenly stopped, staring seriously at Li Xiaofei.

"I fought in a life-and-death gang match and won," Li Xiaofei briefly explained what had happened a few days ago.

Chen Fei broke into a cold sweat as he listened, then carefully looked Li Xiaofei over again. When he saw that Li Xiaofei still had all his limbs and didn't appear to be injured, Chen Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still felt a bit shaken and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about something this big? I could have brought Old Qin with me to back you up."

Li Xiaofei responded honestly, "I didn't want the school to be directly associated with the gang. It wouldn't be good for the school's reputation."

Chen Fei was taken aback. For a long time, he just stood there and then gently patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder. "Go to class."

Li Xiaofei grinned as he left. Meanwhile, Chen Fei remained in the office, holding the Pity Flower Treasure Manual in his hands, reflecting on what the young man had just said.

He suddenly realized that the decision to wander into the slums that afternoon might have been the most important decision he had ever made.

Who exactly is this young man?

The first time they had met in the slums, Li Xiaofei was still struggling to survive. Now, he had completely risen from a poor youth to a millionaire. Yet he hadn't fallen into the trappings of luxury and excess.

He donated water sources and star coins. But he never thought about buying himself a car, a house, or luxury goods. This young man carried the grandeur of the ancient heroes who would spend thousands of gold pieces freely, knowing they would come back.

He also possessed the chivalry to wish for ten thousand mansions to shelter the world's poor and bring them joy. Perhaps, after all these years of perseverance with Old Qin, they had finally moved the heavens. And in return, they were blessed with a savior for Red Flag High School?

***

Li Xiaofei dutifully went to class. The morning was mostly filled with cultural and theoretical courses. In the afternoon, the school team had a joint practice session.

Yan Chiyu's return had re-energized everyone at Red Flag High School. Now, everyone was eagerly anticipating the effect of the two swords of Red Flag High School working in harmony.

The wait didn’t last long. A new round of the league had begun. Red Flag High School's opponent this round was Lanshan High School, one of the five prestigious schools.
