d,” Quinn loudly spoke.
As he was wearing a mask, it was impossible to see the changes on his facial expression, but by observing his eyes, Xia Fei could tell that Quinn was still somewhat wary about him.

“Lord Qui praises me too much.
Chen Ziqiang is a divine doctor, a level 6 apothecary.
How could I compare to him? It was only a fluke that I was able to win against him.”

Quinn waved his hand.
“Master Ah Fei, you humble yourself too much.
Modesty is a very admirable trait, but there is no need for excess modesty.
By now, your illustrious name has spread throughout the Exiled Grounds, but who did you learn your arts from? Why would you come to the Exiled Grounds?”

‘Probing me?’ Xia Fei inwardly muttered.
Quinn was truly very cautious.
Rather than mentioning his illness, he first tried to gather information about Xia Fei.
It turned out that he was still rather wary.

In truth, this was quite normal.
During the treatment, Xia Fei would have to approach Quinn and send mental energy into Quinn’s body.
Thus, Quinn would have to let down all his defenses.

This was no different from placing himself on the execution platform for Xia Fei to take his head.
Any smart warrior would have to first question an apothecary on their background before seeking their help.
It would be a serious problem if someone with ill intentions used that moment to make a lethal strike.

Xia Fei bitterly chuckled.
“Lord Qui, let’s not bring up the past.
While Ah Fei doesn’t look down on the Exiled Grounds, who would abandon the Law Realm and come here to live unless they truly had nowhere to go? As for my master, I can’t speak of him.
I hope that Lord Qui will forgive me.”

Quinn pondered what he had heard.
Everything Xia Fei had said was right.
There were only two kinds of people in the Exiled Grounds.
The first were people who had been born here, the descendants of those who had been exiled, and the second were traitors or fugitives who had fled the Law Realm because it was no longer safe for them to stay there.
Xia Fei was claiming that he was a traitor, so it made sense that he was unwilling to talk about his past.

Quinn casually asked Xia Fei a few more questions, but Xia Fei already had answers prepared and easily replied to them.

Quinn could not help but nod as his doubts slowly dissipated.

It had to be said that Xia Fei was truly a good actor.
When lying, neither his expression nor pulse changed, and he also had a perfect grasp over the sort of attitude a high-ranking apothecary should have, that of someone who was often revered by others.

Geniuses were often arrogant, so if Xia Fei had been too humble or cautious, he would actually be doing himself a disservice.
This sort of confident demeanor, breezily answering questions, was how a proper apothecary should act.
Xia Fei had completely immersed himself in the role, working hard for that chance at a bloodless victory against Quinn.

“Why are you wasting words with this evil beast? Kill him! Kill him! He has the Phoenix Tail Stone and you have Peacock Blue.
You don’t need to be afraid of him.
You can do it!” From the moment he saw Quinn, Oro had been constantly howling, only willing to rest once Quinn was torn to shreds, but Xia Fei had a plan in mind and ignored him.

Oro’s anger was directly conveyed to Xia Fei through the radar system, and someone of weaker will might have easily been influenced by Oro’s emotions.
Fortunately, Xia Fei was not so easily shaken.
Not even the beautiful consort of the butterfly species, Qingyan, had been able to shake Xia Fei’s resolve, let alone the raving anger of some lion.

“There’s no point in being so frantic.
I will kill him in your place but through my own methods,” Xia Fei said to Oro through the radar system.
He was steadfast in his resolve.
Putting aside the fact that Oro was only a toothless, declawed lion, even if he had his former strength, he would have still failed to change Xia Fei’s original intentions.
Once Xia Fei made up his mind, he rarely allowed the opinions of others to change it.

Quinn gave a slight nod.
He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.
He held his cup like a woman, his middle finger and thumb holding the cup while the rest of his fingers were extended.

Suddenly, his eyes exploded with cold sparks as he stared at Seth.
His immemorial mystical armament instantly flew out, floating near the ceiling like a sentinel hawk.

This sudden shift in attitude caught Xia Fei and Seth off guard.
They had been pleasantly talking a few moments ago, so why this abrupt change in attitude? Had he already seen through Seth’s disguise? That could not be, could it? Seth’s disguise was exquisite.
Not only had his face changed, his voice and demeanor had well.
There was no way it could be so easily seen through, right?

Far too many questions appeared in Xia Fei’s mind at this moment, but his eyes remained like placid pools of water.
He stared straight at Seth, hoping that he would not break at this critical moment.

Seth felt these two extraordinary aura simultaneously.
One was from Quinn, and it was a familiar pressure, suffused with frigid killing intent! The other was from Xia Fei.
It was like a gentle hand that enclosed him, preventing all danger from creeping through his mind and giving him confidence.

‘Why are you afraid of him? I’m right here!’ This was the signal that Seth could read from Xia Fei’s eyes.

Seth was a very cowardly person, but for some reason, he suddenly had the strength to hold out against Quinn’s aura!

Juen and Joey bowed on the side with foolish smiles on their faces.
They had no idea that an unseen battle of aura was taking place before them!

There were no weapons to be seen, but killing intent engulfed the area!

“This assistant of yours seems rather familiar?” Quinn spoke in a very grim tone.
“Have we met before?”

*Zing~*

Xia Fei’s hands began to sweat, and he wondered to himself, ‘Why don’t I strike first?!’
