Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Selection

Bai Feifei’s eyes widened in surprise, "Master Dragon King, didn’t you say you wouldn’t accept me into the Dragon Group? You..."

"I said ’if.’ Don’t you even know what ’if’ means?" Dragon King said with a bit of worry, "It’s not easy wanting to take a disciple, only to find out it’s a blockhead!"

A light dawned in Bai Feifei’s heart, and she quickly knelt down, "Master above, please accept your disciple’s bow!"

As she spoke, Bai Feifei knocked her head on the ground three times, with such force that blood seeped from her forehead!

Dragon King was stunned; he hadn’t expected Bai Feifei to just follow suit so straightforwardly and brutally by kneeling and offering herself as a disciple!

"However, it doesn’t feel too bad!" Dragon King slightly smiled in his heart and then said, "Bai Feifei, from today on, you are my disciple, Liu Chengfeng. In this life, Liu Chengfeng acts without distinguishing between good and evil, right and wrong, but only follows his heart! So, I hope you won’t let the moral constraints of society tamper with your true feelings!"

Bai Feifei frowned, "Master, what does it mean to not go against one’s true feelings? Does it really mean disregarding right and wrong and only following one’s heart?"

Dragon King knew that Bai Feifei had previously been in the Criminal Police Team, and her heart was filled with the sense of responsibility and mission of a police officer.

Dragon King said, "Over a decade ago, a special forces warrior returned home from duty and killed his wife and thirteen fellow villagers before escaping into the deep mountains, vanishing without a trace. Would you say this man should be killed?"

Bai Feifei frowned, "Life is precious; he should be killed!"

"But did you know? His wife had an affair, and in her greed for the family’s demolition compensation, conspired with her lover to create a car accident that killed his parents! When the warrior returned home, he found his wife in bed with several other men; do you think those people deserved to die?"

Bai Feifei was stunned, and after hesitating, she said, "If this is true, according to our criminal law..."

"I’m not asking you about the law; I’m asking if they should be killed?" Dragon King said indifferently, "I can tell you, besides the confession of the lover, there was no evidence that the soldier’s parents were killed."

Bai Feifei was struggling internally; her emotions told her that those people deserved to die, but her rationality reminded her that even if they deserved death, they should be handed over to the police authorities—individuals do not have the right to enforce the law!

"Should they be killed?" Dragon King asked again.

"They should be killed!" Bai Feifei blurted out impulsively, then her face turned pale because she had made a decision she believed to be wrong!

"Of course, they should be killed!" Dragon King nodded, "Do you know why that soldier was able to escape?"

With that said, Dragon King pointed to his nose, "I helped him escape, do you understand now?"

Bai Feifei was stunned; Dragon King, as a pillar of faith in the Dragon Group and a guardian of the nation, had actually helped a "murderer" escape!

"Bai Feifei, I told you all this because I want you to remember! Hatred for one’s country and family is the most intolerable hatred in a person’s heart. If someone can forget and tolerate such personal vendetta, how can they be truly loyal to their country?" Dragon King said seriously, "Our Dragon Group, just like the military, must harbor unquenchable passion. A disciple of mine, Dragon King, is not bound by the petty moral laws of the ordinary people. To follow one’s heart, to have clear intentions—that’s the first lesson I will teach you!"

Bai Feifei understood then that all those words from Dragon King were actually meant to test her.

"Yes, Master, I understand!" Bai Feifei said earnestly.

"Good, I believe you are a smart child. You should be able to understand," said the Dragon King. "Alright, now let me see your Lifeline Snake; the Indian Snake King is probably fuming with rage right now!"

Having one’s arm chopped off and the disciple’s Lifeline Snake stolen, doomed never to become a master, even though he is an S-class master, it’s hard to endure such a blow: "No matter who you are, I will take my disciple’s Lifeline Snake back from you!"

...

After reviewing Bai Feifei’s Seven-step Silver Light Snake, the Dragon King nodded in approval: "Very good, very good, as long as this Seven-step Silver Light Snake can grow smoothly, your achievements will be boundless. It seems your friend really cares about you! He even gave you such a precious thing."

Bai Feifei’s face blushed slightly: "Yes, I often receive his care. This time too, I don’t even know how to thank Ling Feng!"

The Dragon King said impassively, "You like him, don’t you!"

Bai Feifei appeared startled: "Master, I... I..."

The heart matters of a young girl being exposed, especially before a recently recognized master, made Bai Feifei’s face heat up.

The Dragon King pondered for a moment and said, "Feifei, your master here isn’t stuck in the past. Plus, you are at the age for romantic feelings. It’s normal for you to like a boy! And based on what you said, Ling Feng really cares about you. It’s natural for you to have feelings for him."

Bai Feifei nodded slightly and whispered, "I really do like him, but he always seems so aloof, and there’s already a girl he likes by his side, I..."

The Dragon King coughed lightly and said, "Feifei, I now want to ask you, are you intending to indulge in romance, or do you want to strive to seek revenge soon?"

Bai Feifei lifted her head and said earnestly, "Master, can’t these two coexist?"

"I have a Cultivation Technique, which, combined with your Lifeline Snake, will be very powerful!" the Dragon King said calmly. "However, you must remain a virgin before the cultivation is complete; otherwise, you will deviate into madness, and all your efforts will be wasted! So, if you want to seek revenge soon, practicing this Cultivation Technique will be twice as effective. But..."

The Dragon King didn’t finish, but Bai Feifei understood. Wanting to practice the Cultivation Technique meant she must keep her distance from Ling Feng; otherwise, unable to control her feelings, all would be lost!

Yet Bai Feifei didn’t think twice; she firmly declared, "Master, teach me the technique!"

The Dragon King looked puzzled: "Have you really decided to leave Ling Feng?"

Bai Feifei shook her head: "No, I think I will never be able to forget him in this lifetime. If possible, I would of course like to stay by his side."

"But then why..."

"Right now, seeking revenge is my greatest wish!" Bai Feifei said. "What I can do now is to cultivate the technique as quickly as possible, to master it early, to avenge my father early, and to stay by Ling Feng’s side as soon as possible, even if there is no place for me by his side anymore!"

Looking at the determined face of Bai Feifei, the Dragon King sighed softly in his heart: "Such a lovely and heartbreaking girl. I’m sorry, Feifei, for my daughter, I can only deceive you. But rest assured, I will teach you meticulously, so that you can seek your revenge as soon as possible! Even if, after five years, you want to return to Ling Feng’s side, I will no longer stop you. But these five years, I must try my best for my own daughter, even if one day you learn the truth, I will spare no effort!"
