had gifted him an overclocking chip or his knowledge of meteor script.
These were all the old mechanics secrets, and since Xia Fei did not like people prying in his secrets, he naturally also disliked divulging other peoples secrets.

Qin Mang nodded.
Since hes asked you to go, you should.
Anyway, Porter is no ordinary man, so being with him will bring you lots of benefits.

Qin Mang gave a similarly cryptic answer, and Xia Fei did not dig further.
It was evident that the other knew something about Old Porter but was unwilling to speak about it.
Trying to find out more when the person did not wish to elaborate would effectively be pointless.

In any case, Qin Mang was always profoundly unfathomable to Xia Fei, so if even this obese librarian agreed that he should look for Porter, it only served to steel his resolve.

However, before he left, there were still several things he needed to take care of.
He needed to check in with Quantum Holdings, and Avrils current status was also a source of worry for Xia Fei.
That cute lady had pretty much become an enigmatic affliction in his heart, and her sudden disappearance left Xia Fei feeling restless.

The minor changes on Xia Feis face from all these thoughts did not escape Qin Mangs eyes.
The wise, old man that he was could be said to be a master when it came to observing people and their moods.

You seem to have something on your mind?

Xia Fei forced a smile.
Its nothing, actually.
Just a friend of mine whom I suddenly couldnt get hold of, so its making me somewhat worried.

If youre so worried, why dont you go visit your friend in person?

Xia Fei somewhat awkwardly explained, If I knew where she lives, I wouldve already gone and paid her a visit.
That friend of mine is quite special; shes always been the one to initiate contact with me, while I know nothing about her.

Qin Mang seemed to be somewhat hesitant as he adopted an inscrutable expression.
Are you talking about Avril?

Xia Feis heart palpitated, the cigarette in his hand shaking, nearly causing him to drop it to the ground.

Xia Fei had never mentioned anything about Avril, so how did Qin Mang learn of her?

Thats right.
Its Avril.
Do you know her? Xia Fei asked, puzzled.

Qin Mang burst into raucous laughter, his chubby hand patting Xia Feis shoulder hard.
Im not telling you.

He clearly knows something but is unwilling to tell me; just what sort of game is he playing? Xia Fei felt a bout of sadness wash over him, feeling an ache in his chest.

Qin Mang was satisfied upon seeing Xia Fei look so defeated and smiled.
How is it? Not a nice feeling, right? Not telling me what youve been up to this whole year; now, you arent getting anything from me about Avril as payback.

Xia Fei was completely helpless.
Qin Mang and he had known each other for some time, and he had never seen this obese, old coot demonstrate such a side of petty resentment.
Since Xia Fei had not revealed anything about the Heritage Planet to him, he was quick to return the favor to him.

I really cant tell you about it, Xia Fei said gravely.
His expression was very serious.
Xia Fei would never be ambiguous when the issue concerned life or death.
Even if he could never see Avril for the rest of his life, Xia Fei needed to keep the secret.
He knew deep down what was the heftier price.

Qin Mangs laughter ended.
He originally wanted to joke about this with Xia Fei and, at the same time, vent a bit of his foul mood, but who knew that Xia Fei would show such a decisive attitude, which went well beyond Qin Mangs expectation?

You do have something you cant disclose, huh, Qin Mang said, more to himself than to Xia Fei.
It seems that this matter is actually quite serious.

Xia Feis brows were furrowed as he lightly nodded his head.

Avril tried finding you after you went missing, and she even went to where you had gone missing to look.
It seems that that lady is very concerned about you, but

Qin Mang stopped talking once more, suddenly laughing to himself as he mumbled under his breath, Why should an old man like me intervene with the matters of the young?

With that, Qin Mang found some paper and pen, then he wrote down an address, handing it over to Xia Fei once he was done writing.

Dont say that I didnt warn you, but your friend isnt of the same breed; theres a large gap between you two, Qin Mang gave his sincere advice.
As a human, you ought to do everything within your means.

Xia Fei did not understand what Qin Mang meant.
He anxiously took that piece of paper and looked to see a single address written on it: Khanid Star Region, Venal galaxy, capital planet, Sunset Villa.

Khanid Star was the core region of the Pan-Human Alliance; its technological and prosperity levels were at the height of the entire alliance.
Even the capital of the Pan-Human Alliance was based there.

This meant that Avril was living in the capital of the Pan-Human Alliance in a place called Sunset Villa.

There were hundreds of millions of humans living in the universe, and only a rare few could stay in the capital of the Alliance.
It was said that there were a variety of strict access systems on that planet.
The vast majority of humans would never even get the chance to step one foot on that planet, yet Avrils family actually lived there?

Xia Fei kept the piece of paper into his spatial ring without making another sound.
The keen intuition that he possessed gave him a very bad feeling, though he simply could not put a finger on why that was the case.

Given who you are right now, theres no way youll be able to enter the capital, but I can lend you a hand; Ill obtain a temporary visa for you to be allowed seventy-two hours of stay there, Qin Mang said.

Xia Fei thought about this for a moment.
Thank you very much for this.
Since Ill be passing by Khanid Star Region on my way to Black Abyss, I want to pay her a visit.

A glance at the time on his microcomputer and he saw that it was already noon, meaning that it was about time for his appointment with Ye Jingshan.

Xia Fei got up.
Old man, Im going to see Battalion Commander Ye now.
Ill come and find you later.

Qin Mang waved off-handedly.
Go on.
Remember to come back earlier; I have some things I want to give to you.
