Chapter 9: The Secret Place and New Alliances
The morning after Xiao Feng's encounter at the nightclub, he prepared for his first day at Haicheng University. As he settled into his new routine, he noticed the bustling atmosphere of the campus. Students chattered and walked around, and he quickly realized that he needed to familiarize himself with this new environment.During his first class, Xiao Feng was surprised to see Ruixi among the students. She was one of the most popular girls at the university, known for her beauty. Despite her part-time job at the nightclub, few students knew about it. Ruixi was taken aback to see Xiao Feng at Haicheng University and approached him after class, eager to catch up. Their friendly conversation drew the attention of other students, who watched with a mix of curiosity and jealousy.Some of the boys, envious of the attention Ruixi was giving Xiao Feng, tried to provoke him. They made threats, but Xiao Feng remained unbothered and didn't let their taunts affect him. As the day ended, students dispersed, and Xiao Feng decided to explore the city further.He ventured out to a hidden shop known for rare items. Inside, he discovered a map that was priced cheaply because the shopkeeper didn't know its true value. Xiao Feng bought the map, hoping it might lead to something useful.Following the map's directions, he arrived at a secret location marked as a "Secret Place." There, he encountered a group of people also searching for treasures. Among them was a young man who, despite keeping a low profile, carried himself with an air of sophistication. Xiao Feng soon learned that this young man was the heir of the Xiao family, known as Xiao Chen.Xiao Chen and Xiao Feng struck up a conversation and quickly found common ground. Xiao Chen was impressed by Xiao Feng's demeanor and skills. As they entered the secret Place together, Xiao Feng helped the group navigate through numerous dangers. His actions earned him the respect and gratitude of Xiao Chen, who was pleased to have Xiao Feng's support.In the end, Xiao Feng found several valuable items, including herbs that could aid in his cultivation. Xiao Chen, grateful for Xiao Feng's assistance, offered him support. He promised that if Xiao Feng ever needed help, he could reach out to him. Xiao Chen also hinted that his family might have more resources and connections that could be of use.With new alliances formed and treasures secured, Xiao Feng returned to his villa, feeling more settled in Haicheng. The day had been eventful, and he looked forward to the new opportunities and challenges that lay ahead.
