Chu Fei returned to the dormitory, his carefree expression gone, replaced by solemnity.
Everything that had happened that morning looked simple, but it had actually been fraught with danger.
When Liu Tingyun asked about Cao Liwen, countless thoughts had flashed through Chu Fei's mind in an instant.
Clearly, his earlier speculation had been correct. Liu Tingyun most likely knew about some of Cao Liwen's preparations. Even if she did not know all the details, she at least knew about this matter.
Liu Tingyun's intentions had also been obvious. She clearly wanted him to do something that would betray Cao Liwen.
Unfortunately, Chu Fei had been prepared. He refused immediately.
Money was important, of course. A penny could stump a hero. But one's persona was even more important—if his persona collapsed, he could no longer be a hero!
Chu Fei did not want to be branded as someone who abandoned righteousness for profit.
Do not forget that Dawn Academy's core purpose was Wu Yong's search for disciples. That was Chu Fei's ultimate goal.
If he were branded as greedy and ungrateful, two-faced, or anything of the sort during this process, then he would be screwed.
So Chu Fei made a snap decision. He turned around and ran to the Academic Affairs Office, slightly exaggerating Liu Tingyun's words and attitude as he took the opportunity to ask Dawn Academy for money.
Since Wu Yong could establish an academy just to find disciples, then given his current performance, Wu Yong should show something as long as he knew what Chu Fei needed.
If Wu Yong's side showed nothing, Chu Fei still had a second plan—Huang Gang.
The Dawn Team certainly had no money, but Chu Fei did not need money. He intended to go hunting with Huang Gang. They were only exotic beasts.
