Chapter 250 The Legend Returns

Hardly had the four from Old Wang's team left when another group arrived—it was people from the Eight Divisions, Hei Wukai, Yin Fu, and Mo Tong.

Yin Fu had been genuinely worried sick during this time, especially after being summoned for questioning by Karida. With her intelligence, how could she possibly believe Karida’s talk about ‘assigning tasks’? She knew something must have happened to Wang Feng.

She asked Lucky Heaven to have the people of the Eight Divisions in Aurora City investigate, but it was as if Brother Wang Feng had vanished without a trace. No good news came from the investigation; instead, she learned from Hei Wukai that Wang Feng had been repeatedly targeted by assassins from the Nine Gods.

According to Hei Wukai, the Nine Gods seemed determined to kill Wang Feng, sending experts from the Wild Group. Wang Feng’s sudden disappearance was likely related to the Nine Gods.

This only made Yin Fu more anxious. Now, seeing her, Old Wang noticed that the girl was clearly much thinner than before, with red-rimmed eyes. As soon as they met in the dormitory, Yin Fu burst into tears and ran up to hug Old Wang, leaving him somewhat taken aback.

"Alright, alright, don’t cry, don’t cry..." Old Wang shrugged helplessly and could only gently pat Yin Fu’s back, "I’m back safe and sound, and I’ve gained a lot this time. Brother went out and accomplished many great things, it was incredibly exciting!"

Mo Tong’s face had initially shown some excitement, but seeing Yin Fu sobbing uncontrollably and feeling quite dissatisfied with Old Wang, he spat, "Pfft, you accomplished great things? I bet you just snuck out to play, without telling us or even mentioning it to Yin Fu and me!"

"Haha, you caught me there, next time Brother will definitely take you!" Old Wang laughed heartily, "But seriously, I went to Ice Spirit City. The scenery there is breathtaking, and the weather is cool. Even in the middle of summer, people wear cotton coats. The girls there are exceptionally beautiful... of course, none as cute as our Yin Fu! Oh, and I also went to the sea and saw an enormous squid. Wow, truly, the sea is vast, and the squid is huge—ten barbecue grills couldn’t hold it..."

By now, Yin Fu had calmed down considerably. Listening to Old Wang’s animated descriptions and exaggerated accounts, she finally managed to smile through her tears.

Mo Tong, standing nearby, listened with wide-eyed amazement, filled with envy.

To be honest, he envied those who could travel the outside world, much like how he respected Principal Karida despite not agreeing with everyone else. Hei Wukai’s rebellious antics were just childish pranks, not worth his attention. What truly captured his interest was the wondrous world described by Wang Feng.

Pirate kings, bounty hunters, ice bee sieges—tut tut tut, just thinking about it was thrilling!

Meeting princesses, having fun, fighting, and even gaining fame at the Holy Sanctuary... Wang Feng sure had a good life. He could sleep and still get dragged to such an exciting place. Why didn’t anyone come to kidnap him?

Bind me! You fools of the Nine Gods, come and bind me! I am, after all, the noble and valiant Mahoraga; binding me would be a hundred times more useful than that boy Wang Feng!

Mo Tong's face was a mix of longing and regret.

Only Hei Wukai, standing beside them, had not been listening to Old Wang’s incessant chatter at all. His eyes had been fixed on him for quite some time, initially with a hint of confusion, but gradually his gaze became intensely excited and sharp.

"Wang Feng, have you solved your problem?"

Mo Tong was still daydreaming about rescuing the beautiful Ice Spirit Princess, then righteously rejecting her advances, and finally returning to Aurora City hand in hand with Yin Fu. He was startled by Hei Wukai’s words: "Solved what?"

Hei Wukai ignored him, his eyes still fixed on Wang Feng, his face full of eager anticipation.

But Old Wang looked melancholic: "The previous problem was solved, but the issue is..."

Hei Wukai's brows furrowed slightly, and the atmosphere in the room grew tense. Yin Fu also looked over with a puzzled expression.

"What problem? What did you solve, Wang Feng? Speak up! Why are you beating around the bush!" Curiosity got the better of Mo Tong, who was visibly anxious, the gossip fire burning brightly in his heart.

"Ah, this matter was only known to Principal Karida..." Old Wang knew what he was thinking and said softly: "The soul ailment has been cured, but there was an accident during the process, and now I have the Black Hole Syndrome. If it weren't for Brother Da's intervention, you wouldn't see me here today, so..."

Hei Wukai's brow furrowed even more.

"What is Black Hole Syndrome?" Yin Fu's heart, which had just settled, was once again filled with worry as she looked at Wang Feng: "Is it serious? Will it endanger your life?"

"Under normal circumstances, it's nothing serious, but if the soul power is overused, it will backfire." Old Wang glanced regretfully at Hei Wukai: "So, Old Black, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight."

Yin Fu and Mo Tong, hearing about such a strange condition for the first time, were momentarily stunned.

"Fighting is just a hobby, how can it be compared to your health?" Hei Wukai straightened his expression and turned to look at Yin Fu and Mo Tong, speaking solemnly: "Yin Fu, Mo Tong, Wang Feng trusts us enough to share this tremendous secret with us... You know that the Nine Gods are trying to assassinate him. If such news leaks out and reaches the Nine Gods, it would be a serious matter!"

"Lighten up, Old Hei," Old Wang said with a smile: "If I can't trust the three of you, who else can I trust? Besides, if anything happens, won't you guys protect me?"

"Of course!" Mo Tong laughed and patted his chest, making his pectorals thump: "We're all in this together, and I even helped scare the Judgment for you! Don't worry, I'm not one to blab, we Mahoraga are the most reliable!"

"You're the biggest blabbermouth!" Hei Wukai glared at him sternly: "Keep your mouth shut. If you leak any information about Wang Feng, I don't care if it's intentional or not, I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to get out of bed!"

The past two months at the Rose Holy Sanctuary could be described as 'peaceful.'

Those chaotic and troublesome incidents that used to plague the Rose Holy Sanctuary had vanished, and the disciples became more obedient. There were fewer troublemakers and fewer show-offs. Although it seemed to lack some vitality, to many old Rose members, this was how the Rose Holy Sanctuary should look.

Of course, this peace also brought a certain dullness. Reports about the Rose in the Light of the Holy Sanctuary had almost disappeared, and its influence in Aurora City and competitiveness against the Judgment had declined.

But as Damos put it, these were all normal occurrences. The Rose, due to Headmistress Karida's expansion, had introduced some highly unstable elements. While this gave the Rose Holy Sanctuary some eye-catching topics, it also continuously damaged the Rose's reputation.

Now, the Rose was constantly self-correcting and getting back on track. The brief silence and lack of topics were merely paying the price for past mistakes. Anyone who makes a mistake must pay a price, and the Rose was no exception. A true resurgence would only come after correcting these wrongs, and it was just a matter of time.

Many people agreed with this view, especially after Karida left and Damos temporarily took charge of the Rose.

In just two to three weeks, Damos swiftly dealt with several nouveau riche students who had paid their way into the Rose, pleasing the mentors who already disliked these individuals and setting an example to deter other disciples whose thoughts had started to wander. The Rose Holy Sanctuary was increasingly looking like it was getting back on track, becoming peaceful and orderly.

However, just as the Rose Holy Sanctuary was slowly getting back on track, Headmistress Karida returned, along with the legendary flatterer.

It felt like dropping a heavy bomb into a calm lake; the once tranquil surface suddenly exploded, and the entire Rose Holy Sanctuary almost instantly became lively again. Everyone was eagerly anticipating and excited.

Both Headmistress Karida and Dean Damos were high-ranking figures in the Holy Sanctuary. How they would compete was something the disciples couldn't observe or guess, but they could speculate and look forward to Wang Feng!

This legendary flatterer, lucky star, and black eight expert, how would he face off against the new president of the Student Council, Lin Yuxiang?

To say the least, the two could also be seen as a microcosm of the struggle between Karida and Dean Damos. Lin Yuxiang was indeed a fierce newcomer, but Wang Feng was a slippery local snake. Everyone sensed that this would inevitably be a long and intense battle.
