Chapter 2 Breakthrough
Faced with the pressure of the old man Cao, Wang Fei smiled indifferently. Countless thoughts flashed in my heart, and there was no lack of grievances. However, he still controlled his emotions well.
"Senior, I don't want anything in return for helping the Cao family. Linger, she saved me and didn't let me give anything. It's that simple, it has nothing to do with interests!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and he looked directly at Wang Fei for a long time. From the sincere and bright eyes of the other party, there is no false meaning.
"Hahahaha!"
After a series of cheerful laughter, he said, "I understand! Linger's girl is ghostly, and she finally made no wrong friends this time! I take back what I just said. You, Wang Fei, are the best friend of our Cao family from now on!"
Cao Fei stood aside nervously and was greatly relieved to see that his father and Wang Fei did not clash. He stepped forward and said, "Father, you scared me to death! If it hadn't been for Wang Fei, our Cao family would have suffered a heavy loss this time!"
"I naturally understand this!" The old man stared at Cao Fei and said, "The items escorted by our Cao family this time are worth more than 10 million gold coins. If there is an accident, it will definitely be depressed in the next few years.
"So, we need to thank Wang Fei. It's not for anything else, just because he made our Cao family go through a disaster!" Cao Fei quickly picked it up, but the gratitude he said was essentially different from the old man's previous gratitude.
"Fier, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple! Nearly 100 guards on the scale of a caravan of hundreds of people. Ordinary thieves will never take action easily! After all, even if they succeed, they need to pay a lot of effort! Moreover, the previous scale of the thieves seemed to be only about 100 people!"
As a personal experiencer, Wang Fei also fell into thinking while the old man expressed doubts. After the other party finished speaking, he immediately expressed his doubts and said, "Senior, according to what you said, it is indeed a suspicious thing to encounter a group of thieves. However, this does not mean that there is a conspiracy in the middle?
"Wang Fei, you may not know about our Longyan City, so let me talk to you!"
Cao Fei sighed slightly and continued: "Longyan City is basically composed of ten forces. In addition to our Cao family, there are also the Long family, Yu family, Li family, Feng family, Bao family, Shenfeng mercenary regiment, heaven and earth mercenary regiment, sky mercenary regiment and war bear mercenary regiment. Ten forces control the operation of Longyan City after 70%. Including the guard force and material circulation of Longyan City!"
"And the ten forces are not immutable. Every ten years, a challenge will be held. Except for the ten forces, any local force in Longyan City can challenge us. As long as you defeat any force, you can become the new top ten forces in Longyan City!"
"Although the situation of our Cao family ranks fifth among the ten forces. However, in recent years, the masters in the family have been severely damaged. Seeing that the ten-year period is coming soon, many forces have put their challenging eyes on the Cao family!"
Cao Fei's words, although there is nothing to do with the attack on the caravan. However, Wang Fei heard a different taste. Maybe it was really an action against the Cao family by other forces.
"Wang Fei, you may not understand that the status of our Cao family in Longyan City is facing unprecedented challenges. It may not be a good thing for you to come to Cao's house as a guest!" The old man's sincere words revealed a lot of worries in his eyes.
"Hehe! I am a mercenary, a mercenary with no roots for the time being. I came to Cao's house as a guest. Although Wang Fei said it easily, he was also a little alert in his heart. If it is really another force's action against the Cao family, after being destroyed by him, the other party is likely to transfer hatred to him.
For this, Wang Fei can only remain silent for the time being. After all, no one can make a definition of the thieves at this time.
"Feier, Wang Fei is also tired on his way. You'd better take him down to rest first! In the evening, we will hold a banquet to welcome the distinguished guests!"
Under the leadership of Cao Fei, Wang Fei quickly came to the guest room. They are all distinguished guests admitted by the old man, and the residence is naturally made by the Cao family. An independent courtyard with at least five or six servants serving.
Wang Fei decisively retreated the mercenary and said to Cao Fei, "uncle, I need a quiet environment to recover the energy and star power consumed along the way. For this reason, I won't attend the banquet in the evening!"
Originally, Cao Fei did not agree. However, when he saw Wang Fei's pale face and learned the hardships along the way from the mouth of the caravan, he nodded heavily.
For Wang Fei, Cao Fei is only grateful. It not only saved his daughter's life, but also saved the Cao family from a crisis.
After sending Cao Fei away, Wang Fei sat alone in the center of the yard. At this time, the sun shines high. If you practice, you will definitely get half the result. However, in order to recover his energy as soon as possible, he still silently operated the nameless mind.
It has been more than three months since I left Zhengqi College. During this period, Wang Fei was either fighting or on his way, and he never had a good rest.
Especially during the period of competing for the stars, they have experienced a lot of battles.
In the harsh environment, coupled with his own hard practice, Wang Fei's cultivation has unconsciously enhanced to the peak of the solid state. It only takes one step to break through to the late solid state.
However, Wang Fei still has no chance to break through before the star power recovers. He can only gather the weak star power in the air and slowly replenish it into his star cave. In addition, the mind also completely relaxed its vigilance.
In the past few days, even if he didn't fight, he was extremely exhausted. Especially after receiving the escort of the Cao family's caravan, the safety of the road depended almost entirely on him.
In addition to arranging the route of the caravan, you also need to pay attention to the surrounding situation. The nervous life every day makes his energy exhausted to the extreme.
After this complete relaxation, a sense of pleasure immediately rose in my heart. The unspeakable comfort made him make a few low moans.
At this time, the scattered stars in the sky suddenly gathered towards him.
According to theory, it is the broad daylight that star power should be covered by sunlight, so only a small part of it still floats in the air.
At this time, Wang Fei also couldn't figure out the situation. All he knew was that the star cave, which had been half depleted, in just over ten minutes
In time, it recovered to about 60%.
"Someone is wrong! Such a rapid gathering of star power, even in the days of the mercenary city, has never passed so fast!" Although Wang Feiren is practicing, he remains conscious. The strange changes made him frown.
In addition to the strange changes of star power, the only thing worthy of Wang Fei's abnormality is the pleasure in his heart. As the stars gather more and more, the pleasure is gradually passing away.
About an hour later, the star power in the star cave has finally been fully replenished. However, at this time, the cultivation is far from over.
The star power absorbed in the air may not be as abundant as before. However, it is still condensing towards his star cave. The originally small solid star force is increasing little by little after the condensed star force.
Originally, it had reached the mid-term cultivation of solid-state stars, but at this time, it got a breakthrough opportunity.
Observing this phenomenon, Wang Fei's face immediately burst into a glow of joy. If you can take this opportunity to break through your existing realm again. After reaching the late stage of Star Master, you can take a big step towards the realm of Star Master.
Thinking of this, Wang Fei controlled his emotions very well. If you are too excited, it will certainly not have a positive promotion effect. He silently operated the nameless mind method and planned to work hard to improve his existing cultivation as much as possible.
Perhaps, success or failure is only in an instant.
From Wang Fei's serious look, it shows that he must want to seize this rare opportunity to take his cultivation to the next level!
