Reporting That All Is Well

As they were talking, a group of people rushed into the lounge; they were other members of the University Team.

The University Team members were clearly divided into factions. Zhao Yuting walked at the front, Liu Fei and Xiao Mingsheng walked on one side, Feng Zi'ang walked alone on the other side. They were obviously not talking to each other. Han Xu, Ding Cheng, and Yan Jun walked in the middle.

Feng Zi'ang walked up to Chen Guowei and Xiang Hui: "What were you talking about just now?"

"We didn't talk about much, just about Lao Bai's affairs," Chen Guowei said.

Feng Zi'ang sighed, his expression turning somewhat grim. "Still no news?"

"No, not at all."

Han Xu walked over. "Who else is in the captain's family? I'd like to go to his house this Sunday, do you want to come?"

Chen Guowei glanced at Han Xu with some surprise. Xiang Hui, however, seemed unsurprised and nodded, saying, "Old Chen and I will both go."

"I'll go too," Feng Zi'ang said.

The conversation was not loud, but the Awakened Ones' senses were sharp, and even though the other party did not try to conceal it, the other University Team members in the lounge could still hear what they were saying.

Liu Fei paused for a moment, then walked over. "I'll go take a look too... Are you planning to go in the morning or the afternoon?"

"What are you going there for, to watch the spectacle?" Chen Guowei was inexplicably furious.

Liu Fei frowned. "Junior Chen Guowei, what kind of attitude is this? Bai Xiaowen is, after all, the captain of our University Team. He got into trouble, and as a member of the University Team, what's wrong with me visiting his family...?"

"Shut your the Crows." Judging from Liu Fei's tone, as if he was certain that Bai Xiaowen was in trouble, Chen Guowei said even more irritably.

Liu Fei raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Xiang Hui suddenly said calmly, "Alright, stop making a fuss. If Bai Xiaowen doesn't come back, the captain's position will definitely be yours. Senior Liu Fei, you should just behave yourself and be more patient. There's no need to rush to put on a show for the school and us."

"Hey guys, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go have lunch and discuss what gift to bring for Lao Bai's sister." Chen Guowei stood up.

Xiang Hui, Feng Zi'ang, and Han Xu stood up at the same time.

Suppressing his anger, Liu Fei said to their retreating figures, "What kind of attitude is this from you lot?!"

"Han Xu, where are you going?" Xiao Mingsheng called out to Han Xu.

Han Xu paused for a moment, then turned and said, "I'm going to the captain's house too."

"What are you going to do? Bai Xiaowen is from the Super God Guild. If anything happens, the Super God Guild will naturally take care of it. Why are you worrying so much?" Xiao Mingsheng said with a sneer. "You know the relationship between our Jingwu Guild and the Super God Guild. Why are you so dense!"

Han Xu shook his head. "These things have nothing to do with me."

"Sigh..." Watching Han Xu walk away, Xiao Mingsheng was about to say something more.

Liu Fei stopped him. "Forget it, let him go."

Liu Fei turned to Zhao Yuting and smiled, "Yuting, let's go eat together. A new Baxi Commandery barbecue restaurant opened on South Street; I heard it's pretty good..."

"I have no appetite," Zhao Yuting glanced at Liu Fei. "You and Xiao Mingsheng go." She pulled out her sunglasses from her collar, put them on, picked up her delicate little bag, and strode out.

"How about we go together tomorrow?" Liu Fei grabbed his sports backpack and asked.

"I have class."

"What about Sunday? Shall we go out to eat together on Sunday?"

"Something's wrong."

They chased each other and soon walked out of the training base building, where they could see Chen Guowei and his group walking ahead.

Chen Guowei is on the phone.

Liu Fei hadn't paid any attention at first, but when he caught a glimpse of Chen Guowei and the people around them out of the corner of his eye, their eyes and brows radiating a kind of joy, as if they had just won millions, he instinctively sensed something was wrong and his ears perked up immediately.

"Hey, Lao Bai... Okay, okay, I know you've been busy since you got back. You go ahead and get busy, we'll have dinner together on Sunday!"

"Please give my regards to the beautiful Li!"

Liu Fei's cheerful expression froze, and the sports backpack in his hand silently slipped from his grasp.

Zhao Yuting paused for a moment, then suddenly took off her sunglasses, a smile appearing on her lips.

"Which barbecue restaurant did you just mention? Let's go try it, and invite Xiao Mingsheng Yan Jun, Ding Cheng, and the others too."

Taoran Residence.

Bai Xiaowen put down her phone, which was charging, and turned her head to say, "Finally, I've let everyone know I'm safe. You can all relax now."

Li Shuyi also hung up the phone and said, "I called my dad too, and he said he would inform Grandpa Zhang and Master Sun, and that we don't need to rush over, but should get some rest first."

"He really is my dad..."

Bai Xiaowen clicked his tongue. "However, we returned after taking a nap in the Spirit Realm, so we're not tired now."

"I slept well and feel great. But I don't know if someone slept last night," Li Shuyi said, pursing her lips.

Bai Xiaowen gave an awkward laugh, "Alright, you go take a shower first. I'll make a few bottles of potion, and then we'll go to the shop."

Li Shuyi stretched, revealing a section of her fair waist. "Okay... don't forget to call Sister Zheng and Xiao Jun too..." she said as she walked towards the bathroom.

Bai Xiaowen actually remembered it in his heart, but Li Shuyi's thoughtful reminder still warmed his heart and made him feel very comfortable.

I called Sister Zheng first, Sister Zheng immediately started complaining about Bai Xiaowen. As a full-time agent, it was really outrageous that she had lost contact with her employer for a whole month.

However, after hearing the reason for Bai Xiaowen's delayed return, Sister Zheng understood.

Awakened beings strive to become stronger in the Spirit Realm and the Wilderness Zone; this is their primary duty. Fame, status, and wealth in the Earth World are merely byproducts of their power and are secondary.

Of course, some awakened individuals are seduced by the bright lights and bustling Earth World and are unwilling to venture into the Spirit Realm or the Wilderness Zone, which is putting the cart before the horse. Such people's combat skills will rapidly deteriorate, and they will be surpassed by their peers and even younger generations.

Stagnation or even regression in strength will inevitably affect the status of the Earth World.

At the end of the call, Sister Zheng told Bai Xiaowen that there was no need to call Xiao Jun anymore, as Sister Zheng had been with Xiao Jun these past few days and she could convey this message.

Bai Xiaowen quickly thanked Sister Zheng and inquired about Xiao Jun's situation.

He quickly realized that Xiao Jun must have been very distressed these days—after all, there was a precedent of her father and sister disappearing in the Spirit Realm, and Bai Xiaowen's delayed return this time seemed to be the beginning of Xiao Jun's third disappearance of a relative.

Sister Zheng replied that although Xiao Jun was worried, she was not greatly affected, mainly because she did not believe that Bai Xiaowen would have an accident—especially after hearing Chairman Li Beihai mention some secrets circulating among Advanced Awakened, which suggested that in very rare special circumstances, Bai Xiaowen's return might be delayed.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief and finally calmed down to prepare the medicine.
