Chapter 124: Chapter 91: Shen Feiyang: What! You Want Me to Go Undercover in the Black Lotus Sect?

"Feiyang, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you for ages.

"Quick, come with me. Someone wants to see you."

A teacher from Third High School had searched for a long time inside the Second High School campus before finally finding Shen Feiyang sitting by the edge of the gymnasium, looking as if he had lost all will to live.

Hearing the Third High School teacher’s words, Shen Feiyang finally snapped back to reality.

He stood up and asked weakly, "Teacher Xu, who is looking for me?"

Teacher Xu hesitated, ultimately deciding not to tell Shen Feiyang exactly who was looking for him. "Just come with me first, you’ll find out in a bit."

Seeing the other party’s secretive manner, Shen Feiyang ultimately chose to follow him.

Before long, the two arrived at the Second High School principal’s office. As Teacher Xu pushed the door open, Shen Feiyang quickly spotted a tall, elderly man.

"Hello, Shen Tongxue."

Looking at this unfamiliar old man, Shen Feiyang himself didn’t have much of a reaction, but his right hand started to ache faintly. It was as if it were warning him of the danger posed by the elder before him, urging him to be extremely careful.

Therefore, Shen Feiyang instantly went on high alert. Although the probability of his identity as a member of the Black Lotus Sect being exposed was very small, it wasn’t impossible! So he had to be extremely careful.

"Mr. Yu, Shen Tongxue, you two take your time talking. I’ll step out now."

"Alright, Xu, thank you for the trouble."

After Teacher Xu left, only Shen Feiyang and the unfamiliar old man remained in the room.

"Don’t be nervous. I just came to have a chat with you. Please, have a seat."

Shen Feiyang cast a wary glance at the elder, then obediently sat down opposite him.

Seeing Shen Feiyang’s nervous demeanor, Yu Tianqi smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the former Scripture Master of the Qing Province Mountain and Sea Bureau, Yu Tianqi."

"The... the Mountain and Sea Bureau???"

Ordinary people might not know what the words ’Mountain and Sea Bureau’ meant. But to Shen Feiyang, a ’Black Lotus Cultist,’ he knew all too well what they represented.

It should be known that although Shen Feiyang had only recently joined the Black Lotus Sect, he had heard plenty of stories about Black Lotus Cultists being killed or captured by the Mountain and Sea Bureau. To say the Mountain and Sea Bureau was the mortal enemy of the Black Lotus Sect was no exaggeration at all!

Thinking of this, Shen Feiyang felt as if a giant, blood-red ’DANGER’ sign had materialized on his forehead.

"Bad, bad, bad. Have I been exposed? Why else would a bigshot from the Mountain and Sea Bureau suddenly seek me out alone?

"Should I just confess right now and say I was forced to join the Black Lotus Sect?

"Or should I deny it to the death and insist I have nothing to do with them?

"Urgent, urgent, urgent! Can someone please tell me what I should do?!"

Fortunately, due to the mysterious Female Ghost, Shen Feiyang’s face was perpetually pale, making him look so frail and weak that a gust of wind could blow him over. So even though his face turned incredibly unsightly from sheer panic, Yu Tianqi still didn’t notice anything amiss. In fact, it even made Yu Tianqi feel a bit sympathetic toward him.

"Sigh, what a pitiful child. He has such heavy Yin Qi on him at such a young age. How is he going to live his life in the future?

"But his appearance and background do fit my requirements perfectly. We’ll see what he chooses."

"Are you wondering why I came looking for you?" Yu Tianqi asked.

Shen Feiyang nodded blankly. With his mind in turmoil, he actually didn’t quite catch what Yu Tianqi was saying, only responding mechanically.

Yu Tianqi sighed and asked, "I wonder, Shen Tongxue... do you know about the Black Lotus Sect?"

"Ah?!"

It was as if a trigger word had been set off; Shen Feiyang jumped up with a WHOOSH, like a startled feral cat.

Seeing his massive reaction, Yu Tianqi immediately looked confused.

Shen Feiyang also snapped back to reality, realizing he had overreacted. He hurriedly explained, "How could I not know about a renowned Evil Cult on the Immortal Alliance’s wanted list like the Black Lotus Sect? I hate them to the bone!"

"They forced me to join the cult and threatened to slaughter me if I refused. How could I not hate them to the bone!

"I hate them! I hate them so much!"

Looking at Shen Feiyang’s indignant expression, Yu Tianqi was stunned for quite a while. When he reviewed Shen Feiyang’s file, he hadn’t seen any conflict between the boy’s family and the Black Lotus Sect. Although Shen Feiyang’s parents had passed away early, it was due to a normal traffic accident and had absolutely nothing to do with the Black Lotus Sect.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianqi couldn’t help but ask, "I wonder why you, Shen Tongxue, feel so strongly about the Black Lotus Sect..."

Before Yu Tianqi could finish, Shen Feiyang slammed his hand on the desk, raised his right arm, pointed at the ceiling, and declared, "There is no ’why’! Sin and I... cannot coexist under the same sky!"

Paired with the sunlight streaming through the window onto him, in this very moment, Shen Feiyang... practically radiated a sense of justice!

Watching Shen Feiyang’s display, Yu Tianqi automatically filled in the blanks, picturing a righteous youth of the Immortal Alliance—someone who, despite a rough life, kept a sunny disposition and wouldn’t tolerate a single speck of evil. Combined with the glowing records of the good deeds Shen Feiyang had done in his earlier years, which he had read in the file, Yu Tianqi felt even more certain that the boy was the perfect candidate for this plan.

Because only someone with such principles, a kind heart, and natural talent would be able to maintain their original intentions and not forget their mission in a filthy place like the Black Lotus Sect.

"Shen Tongxue, the future of the Immortal Alliance... needs righteous people like you!"

Meanwhile, Shen Feiyang looked at Yu Tianqi, who had been thoroughly bluffed by his impromptu performance.

He secretly thought to himself, "Since I’ve said all this, he probably won’t associate me with the Black Lotus Cultists, right?"
