15: Return immediately, the murderer has been identified.

"Little Fei, we've found clues about what you asked us to investigate!" The voice on the phone was none other than Chen Qingyun.

Chen Fei immediately sat up straight. The things he had asked Chen Qingyun to investigate were essentially three: one was the source of the Myriad Poison Gu, another was the distribution channels for Floating Life, One Dream.

The last one was the first place in Tianqing City in his previous life that betrayed humanity.

That place was called Listening to Rain Dock, a high-end club.

Although it was unclear whether this Listening to Rain Dock had any connection to Jiang Yiyi's incident, Chen Fei still grouped it together.

Even if it was truly unrelated, it wouldn't hurt to investigate Listening to Rain Dock in advance.

"Dad, what have you found out?" Chen Fei's tone carried a hint of seriousness.

Chen Qingyun slowly recounted what he knew: "Little Fei, we haven't found out much.

After all, Floating Life, One Dream is a potion that was banned over a decade ago; it couldn't possibly be circulating on the market.

The only place where it could still circulate is the black market.

My people did find a suspicious figure on the black market who calls himself The Sower. It seems he has more contraband items there."

The Sower?

Chen Fei looked puzzled; he hadn't heard of this person in his previous life.

But then again, after he was injured and left Tianqing City, he stayed in the military the whole time, so it was normal not to know.

"And one more thing!" Chen Qingyun added: "The composition of Listening to Rain Dock you asked me to investigate is complex.

There are many high-ranking officials and nobles inside, and even some military personnel registered as members there.

The person behind the scenes who can run such a high-end club is definitely not simple; don't offend them lightly.

I originally planned to withdraw my people, but I unexpectedly discovered that The Sower, after disguising himself, actually entered Listening to Rain Dock through the back door.

At that moment, I felt something was off about this Listening to Rain Dock!"

Chen Fei let out a heavy sigh. Sure enough, it ended up being connected to Listening to Rain Dock.

If he wanted to join the mist and become a betrayer, what would be the most important thing to do?

Of course, it would be destruction, stifling geniuses, and creating chaos.

Following this line of thought, stifling Jiang Yiyi became inevitable.

And he, Chen Fei, was just the most tragic, most insignificant sacrifice in this scheme.

A faint, cold smile curled at the corner of Chen Fei's mouth. "Let me guess, has a teacher also entered this Listening to Rain Dock before?"

"Exactly!" came Chen Qingyun's affirmative reply from the other end of the phone.

Chen Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing through. "Was it Song Gong, or Xue Lei?"

"Neither!"

This news made Chen Fei's expression stiffen. Had he guessed wrong?

If it wasn't these two, then who else could it be?

Only those people could make Jiang Yiyi drink Floating Life, One Dream without any guard up.

What information had he missed?

Chen Fei's brows furrowed tightly, his face revealing an indescribable sense of frustration and suppression.

Sensing Chen Fei's mood wasn't great, Chen Qingyun comforted him: "Little Fei, don't worry. This Sower is under our surveillance; sooner or later, he'll slip up.

Besides telling you all this today, I also have good news for you!

Jiang Nan is not only a King-level Beast Tamer but also the chairman of the Changqing Chamber of Commerce.

This time, you helped Jiang Yiyi escape disaster, which counts as a favor to the Jiang family.

So he agreed to let you go to the Changqing Chamber of Commerce and pick any A-grade Beast Pet Egg you want."

An A-grade Beast Pet Egg? Such good fortune?

Hearing this, Chen Fei's expression improved a bit.

Anyway, his second beast pet slot was already unlocked; it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

Even if it didn't meet his needs, it would be a good choice for his parents.

If that didn't work out, selling it to earn some Spirit Stones would also be good.

The currency circulating on the Spirit Taming Continent is Spirit Stones.

After all, whether it's Beast Tamers, Yao Beasts, or Martial Artists, they all need to draw Spiritual Qi from Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones are divided into High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade, as well as Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

One Mid-Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with other categories divided accordingly.

A B-grade Beast Pet can sell for one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

An A-grade beast pet can sell for one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

As for S-grade Beast Pets, they are generally traded only with High-Grade Spirit Stones or Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and even then, they are scarce and hard to come by.

Now, the Jiang family is offering an A-grade Beast Pet Egg; only a fool would refuse.

"I understand, Dad. I'll return in a few days!"

"Alright, be careful!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

When things deviate from the expected track, it's always so sudden and unexpected.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't think about it anymore. I'll focus on improving my strength first. Only then can I adapt to any changes!"

After assigning a task to Little Gu, Chen Fei began studying the Hidden Origin Art again... September 16th!

"The train has arrived at the station. Please be careful when transferring!"

As the doors opened, Chen Fei entered the carriage and found his seat.

Half a month had passed since Chen Qingyun's phone call.

Chen Fei was almost ready and had embarked on his journey back.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that this carriage was mostly filled with students.

"Students, for this Three-School Exchange Competition, our main opponents are still Tianqing Academy. Everyone, start by digesting the information about our opponents.

Their freshman class this year also has a few promising talents.

Shangguan Shihua, an Intermediate 3rd-tier Beast Tamer, with two A-grade beast pets, capable of both offense and defense, very troublesome.

Qu Lie, an Intermediate 3rd-tier Beast Tamer, also with two A-grade beast pets, but one of them is a thunder-attribute Yao Beast with extremely high damage... Su Can, the top freshman, an Intermediate 5th-tier Beast Tamer. So far, he has defeated all his peers using only one beast pet.

No one knows what his second beast pet is yet.

However, it can be confirmed that his first beast pet is an A-grade Eagle-Tiger Beast."

The Eagle-Tiger Beast has the body and head of a tiger but the sharp claws and wings of an eagle.

It combines three attributes: elemental, flying, and sonic.

Especially the flying attribute, which gives it an advantage in the sky, making it very troublesome.

The teacher added a few more sentences: "Ordinary people only Awaken at the age of 18, but there are some exceptions.

This Su Can Awakened two months before turning 18.

Beast Tamers who Awaken early have one advantage: their cultivation time is longer than others.

That Eagle-Tiger Beast is likely only his second beast pet, not his main one.

So during the exchange competition, remember not to engage in direct confrontation with him..."

When Chen Fei heard this, he lost interest in continuing to listen.

He had long passed the age for such small-scale skirmishes.

However, it was only now that he understood the strength of Beast Tamers in his grade.

He hadn't expected the strongest to already be at Intermediate Beast Tamer level 5; this speed was indeed not slow.

Even with the constant improvement using slaughter value, he was only at Intermediate 3rd-tier Beast Tamer.

If it weren't for the sacred codex, it would be hard to say whether Chen Fei could even reach Intermediate Beast Tamer now.

Opening his phone, Chen Fei saw a new message:

Return to Shanhai Academy quickly, clues about the murderer have been found!
