The Almighty Ring

Jiang Fei took the list from Han Tianyu and stayed in his office. He sat down on the sofa and got comfortable there. Bringing home a list of girls with their personal details would be suicidal since Si Tuying would definitely be there.

To start it off, Jiang Fei read the details of the first two persons which he was familiar with. Both Yang Qing and Yang Po became stronger since the day he met them. Right then, they were at the Pinnacle stage of Level 3. With excellent mastery in martial skills, their combat prowess was formidable.

The third girl was also familiar – Xue Aohan from the Snow Mountain Sect. Like the twins, Xue Aohan was at the Pinnacle stage of Level 3. While the twins were better in hand to hand combat, Xue Aohan’s mastery in the arts was sword skills.

The next two girls in the list came from the same sect. Lian Feiyu and Yun Yu from the Whistling Cave Sect, a powerful sect from the Northern Faction of the alliance. The two girls were unfamiliar. According to their files, Lian Feiyu was at the Pinnacle stage of Level 3 and had mastered a unique martial skill that utilized sound to kill someone without shape and form. The downside was that she was weak in hand to hand combat. In close quarter combat, she would be at a disadvantage.

The other student from the same sect was Yun Yu. Like her fellow students, she was the opposite of Lian Feiyu’s capability. With no inclination towards learning the sound art of the Whistling Cave Sect, she picked up strong close quarter combat skills to support Lian Feiyu in fights. She wields a long Seven Stars Dipper Stick as her main weapon of combat.

The last girl comes with a little surprise for Jiang Fei as she was from the Soaring Cloud Sect.

To be fair, Jiang Fei did not have good relations with the Soaring Cloud Sect although he did not hate them. Even so, Jiang Fei could not help but have a closer look at the girl.

The girl’s name was Shang Guanqi, a fighter at the Pinnacle stage of Level 3. She was good at using concealed weapons and had mastered the art of assassination. Unlike the others, there was not much information about Shang Guanqi in the file. As a result, Jiang Fei had the highest prejudice against this girl.

“Are you worried about the girl from the Soaring Cloud Sect?” said Han Tianyu as he noticed he was frowning hard at Shang Guanqi’s page in the files.

“That’s correct. How can I be relaxed when someone was sent from the Soaring Cloud Sect! Are they trying to take advantage of the situation to kill me?” said Jiang Fei.

“I can’t say much about that but having your guard up at all times would be good for you!” said Han Tianyu. Han Tianyu was not too worried about it was because of the ancient Chinese tradition. Whenever the alliances sent a team for an overseas mission, and someone from their ranks decided to betray and kill their own ally, the perpetrator would be captured and brought back to their sect. The punishment was so severe that the perpetrator and the entire sect would be destroyed with extreme prejudice.

Even so, Jiang Fei had someone behind his back! The Level 5 master! The Soaring Cloud Sect would have to fear both the repercussions from the entire alliance and Jiang Fei’s master.

That was why Han Tianyu could say something like that.

“Ok then,” said Jiang Fei as he ignored Shang Guanqi at the moment but he kept it in his mind at all times.

When Jiang Fei flipped to the final page of the files, he realized something.

“Yo! Brother Yu! Isn’t this the babe that you are having a crush on?” said Jiang Fei.

“Oh well. Too bad the feeling wasn’t mutual. If you can, go for it! Might as well help yourself since I can’t,” said Han Tianyu as he merely scoffed. Although Han Tianyu did not deny that he had a crush on the girl, he was not being completely honest with Jiang Fei. The man was not serious about any relationship. If he really wanted a girl with looks, all he needed to do was to ask the girl out. To be frank, not every girl liked that but as a general consensus, as long as Han Tianyu flaunted his wealth, he could make anyone fall in love with him.

“I’m not like you. I’ve got nothing to show!” said Jiang Fei as he shook his head.

The girl that Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu were referring to was Ding Menghan. She was a pretty little girl from the Green Willow Peak, the daughter of the manor’s owner, Ding Tianqi. Like all the girls on the list, she was at the Pinnacle stage of Level 3. Her weapon of choice was a Nine-Tails Whip. Having said that, she was so much stronger than Han Tianyu that it would make him look like a kid fighting a bull. No wonder the girl had no interest in Han Tianyu! The girl did not care about materialistic fortunes.

“You are one lucky bastard. You know that? Being a Casanova is not better than having a powerful master to learn from!” Han Tianyu grunted disgruntledly. Even though Jiang Fei was a complete novice in terms of flirting and knowing the ways of a woman, he still had a teacher who was almost all-powerful. Han Tianyu would be willing to trade his good looks and even his fortune to have someone like Jiang Fei’s Level 5 master to teach him martial arts.

Jiang Fei laughed a little and got up. He then passed the dossier back to Han Tianyu.

“I’ve read through them and understood the girls. Remember to give me a call when it’s time to go,” said Jiang Fei as he quickly flipped a few pages to check if he had missed anything. Accidentally, he saw a page which he had missed which detailed the hobbies, likes, and dislikes and their personality. Although it was not important, Jiang Fei felt like reading them to be thorough.

“Okay. Make sure your phone is not on Silent mode,” said Han Tianyu as he organised the papers and stored them in his desk.

By the time Jiang Fei had returned home, Si Tuying had already left his house. After asking his mother about her, he was notified that Si Tuying was picked up by her third brother. Something had happened at home, something which she did not reveal to his mother. Not wanting to disturb, Jiang Fei decided to leave Si Tuying alone until she was ready to talk about it.

After dinner with his parents, Jiang Fei returned to the game. The PvP competition was still in its selection stage. There were too many players from all level ranges had registered in the competition. The preliminary battles had taken too long as it was almost one-third of the entire PvP competition. Hence, with nothing else to do, Jiang Fei did the same thing he did with Isabella and Ariel – sightseeing.

The next day, after breakfast, when Jiang Fei was about to sit down on the sofa to watch some television program, Jiang Fei received a call from Si Tuying.

“Fei! I need your help!” Si Tuying cried on the phone.

“What’s wrong!” Jiang Fei bellowed as his heart rate increased.

“M-My father! Something’s happened to my father!”

“Where are you now! I’ll save him!” said Jiang Fei.

“I’m in the Central General Hospital!”

“Wait for me,” said Jiang Fei. He turned around to his parents and informed them that he would be leaving the house immediately. As it was an emergency, he did not bother to explain what happened and why he needed to leave.

With no context, Jiang Fei only cared about one thing – to reach Si Tuying as soon as possible. He called Han Tianyu to send him a helicopter to send him to the hospital. With no idea what had gotten into Jiang Fei, he chose to drive him there himself. It was the second time Han Tianyu had seen Jiang Fei so worked up.

When he arrived at the hospital, Si Tuying was crying her eyes out in the lobby. Thankfully, the third brother, although agitated, was calm as he explained what had happened.

It was Si Tuying’s father, Si Tujianxin. Yesterday evening, Si Tujianxin attended a gang’s meeting but did not return after midnight. It was then when the third brother called Si Tuying and asked her to return home in case something went wrong. The next morning, the two received a call from the hospital, informing them that their father was stabbed multiple times in the chest and was admitted to the hospital. Doctors were currently in the surgery room performing an operation to save their father’s life. As the situation developed, Si Tuying panicked. She only had Jiang Fei in her mind then. Without thinking about anything else, she called Jiang Fei and he came over.

Oddly enough, Jiang Fei started to relax after he had understood the situation. While others would think that he was a mad man to relax after understanding the gravity of the situation, Jiang Fei was calm since he knew just the way to save Si Tuying’s father. As long as he was still alive, Jiang Fei could save him with a few bottles of Health Potion!
