Zhao Yuting frowned, her expression darkening.
An icy chill spread through the air. The smile plastered across Liu Fei's face slowly froze into an awkward grin.
"Liu Fei, were you kicked out of Jingwu Guild?"
Liu Fei froze. His smile grew strained. "Well..."
"I remember telling you never to show your face in front of me again."
Zhao Yuting's voice was cold. "You know what the consequences would be. It seems you're ready to face them."
Liu Fei panicked. "Yuting, don't misunderstand. I was just..."
"I haven't misunderstood anything."
Zhao Yuting cut him off with a wave of her hand. She slid into her sports car and shot him a sidelong glance. "My legal assistant will be in touch soon."
The engine started.
Liu Fei wanted to stand in front of the car and refuse to budge, but one look at Zhao Yuting's ice-cold face killed his nerve. He could only curse her inwardly and lament his rotten luck.
Things had gone badly for Liu Fei since Jingwu Guild expelled him. Jinghai City's Awakened circle was small. Everyone knew Jingwu had kicked him out and that he had a conflict with the rising Super God Guild.
Liu Fei had some ability, but no guild wanted to risk taking him in. If they offended the newly ascendant Bai Xiaowen, who could they complain to?
Liu Fei blamed Bai Xiaowen for his troubles. Now that Bai Xiaowen had met with an "accident," Liu Fei was delighted. He felt as though the mountain pressing down on him had crumbled, leaving his future bright again.
Getting close to Zhao Yuting had been his first step, but that plan had died before it began. Worse, now that he had angered her, she would soon come after him for the Psionic Points he owed from university.
