Xia Fei frowned.
“Not at all.”

Zanian straightened his face as he whispered, “It’s like this.
After you saved Mu Fuping and disappeared, she went back to bug her family about looking for you.
Relationships in this circle are very superficial, so the Mu family doesn’t really care about your disappearance.
That’s why she ended up mentioning how she has feelings for you due to the urgency of the matter, so now you’re in this situation.”

“Actually, you can’t really blame Miss Mu.
She hasn’t experienced much of the world, so she didn’t weigh the pros and cons of her actions.
Strictly speaking, what she said had benefited you in the short term, but it actually ended up hurting you for the long term.
Forget the Mu family; there are even more members of the other great clans who harbor animosity toward you.”

Xia Fei was slightly surprised, not saying a word.

Though Wolf Shunye was somewhat thick, he was still someone born into the Nine Great Clans, so he furrowed his brows, too, the moment he heard Zanian’s account.

“What Brother Zanian said isn’t wrong.
Here in the Law Realm, marriages are often arranged, especially among the great clans.
It’s a tool used to foster relationships, and Mu Fuping, that lass, has practically shoved you into harm’s way!

“She’s the direct granddaughter of the Mu family, so even we of the Wolf family are planning to arrange a match for her.
Several disciples in our clan have even gotten into a fight over it.
It would be fine if Mu Fuping didn’t have the status she had, but now it’s too late.
These people are suspicious, so even if you say that there’s nothing between you two, you’ve made enemies already.”

Xia Fei was speechless.
Mu Fuping was truly a case of kind intentions gone awry.
It was no wonder why there were always looks of ill intent thrown his way; to think that this was the reason for everything.
If Zanian did not mention this, Xia Fei would still be clueless about everything.

“Forget it.
I still understand Mu Fuping; she’s just a lady who knows nothing about the world.
If I were to bear a grudge on her, that would instead mean that I wasn’t magnanimous enough.
After all, her original intention is out of kindness.” Xia Fei sighed as he said this.

Zanian said, “Best if you think like that.
Actually, this isn’t unsolvable.
Once you join the Dragon Ascension, I dare to guarantee that no one will dare have any funny ideas toward you.”

Wolf Shunye added, “Zanian’s absolutely right.
The Yu family can’t protect you, and it’ll be a matter of time before these people act on their plans against you.
You’ll be safe only if you make it into Dragon Ascension.
Forget the fact that there’s nothing between you and Mu Fuping; even if there’s really something, they can only just glare at you.”

Zanian and Wolf Shunye let out a great laugh with a tinge of immorality, as Zanian pointed out.
“What Gigawolf said isn’t a bad idea at all.
Mu Fuping has taken the initiative to look for you many times and has shown a fondness for you.
Why don’t you just take her in once you join the martial hall?”

……

Dragon Ascension Martial Hall’s backyard, North Ridge Warzone.

This warzone was the area where the warriors would be practicing their martial arts techniques daily.
A set of approximately two-meter tall war armor slowly rose from the thick metal alloy ground, and it was none other than the Edgeless war armor!

Wolf Shunye’s eyes turned green, a silly grin plastered across his face as if he was over the moon.
He could not stop himself from walking over and running his finger on the cold metal surface.

“Edgeless! It really is Edgeless! You’ve definitely hit the jackpot this time! To think the war armor belonging to one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension would end up in your hands.
Had I known that this was the prize, I would definitely have joined in the assessment as well and fight it out with you!” Wolf Shunye said with great excitement.

Zanian said, “Great Clans not needing to join the initial assessment is our way of showing care to you all.
Honestly speaking, Xia Fei really risked his life to obtain Uncle Busey’s Edgeless.
Had you joined, there’s no guarantee that you would’ve cleared it.
Besides, the prize for the second cycle won’t be anything less than Edgeless, so you’ve still got a chance.”

Wolf Shunye did not care for that, though, vehemently complaining about the rule that Great Clans did not require to participate in the initial assessment.

Xia Fei made his way over to Edgeless and pushed a button on the war armor’s arm.

*Ping ping ping*

Edgeless’s armor plates, thin like a cicada’s wings, automatically changed shape and instantly enveloped Xia Fei in its protective embrace.

Though it was hard war armor, Edgeless did not give the slightest cumbersome feeling when worn.
The ergonomic design of the armor was so perfect that it felt like none of Xia Fei’s movements was restricted in the least.

Testing the armor by moving his arms, Xia Fei marveled.
“Not bad.
It’s even stronger than the liquid war armor I have and can even feel a measure of assistance with every move I make.”

Zanian nodded.
“The engine on the back of the war armor is very powerful.
It not only grants you the ability of space flight but also increases the power of your attacks.
A single move of your arm and the mechanical frame will move accordingly, able to boost your strength by approximately 30%.”

Xia Fei squatted and the twin quantum engine behind him blasted into activation!

*Whoosh*

Xia Fei penetrated through the clouds like a rocket, going past the atmosphere and right into the stars!

This was Edgeless! A top-notch set of war armor, which allowed its user to achieve space flight like a warship by itself!

Spending about an hour to get used to Edgeless, Xia Fei’s psychomotor skills were excellent, and the armor hardly wasted much of his strength.

The two quantum engines, Edgeless contained allowed him flight in addition to what the average war armor provided.

This was no ordinary flight, either, but true space flight like that of a space-faring warship!

As long as Xia Fei willed it, he could easily shuttle from planet to planet without the use of any warship, and that level of freedom was something indescribable.

Storing Edgeless away, Xia Fei returned to Yu family in preparation for the second cycle of examination next month.

His newly obtained spatial compass allowed Xia Fei to travel directly to Roaring Tiger Park.
The utilization of the tool was very simple, only requiring him to enter the coordinates.
A simple tap of confirmation activated it.

The Roaring Tiger Park was silent, with not a soul in sight.
Even the two Beast Kings were nowhere to be found.

Xia Fei knitted his eyebrows together as he could vaguely sense the unusual atmosphere around him.

“Xia Fei! Xia Fei!” Gu Dong came dashing out of the office, apparently very flustered.

“What happened?” Xia Fei asked severely.
