Chapter 361 Life Is Like a Play, It All Depends on Your Acting Skills!

‘Are you going to be an enemy of the whole world? ’

Isn’t it that Tang Fei and the old man are going to make enemies of the whole world?

However, Shang Xiulin asked this question inexplicably without knowing Tang Fei’s true identity

That is something he would never admit even if he was beaten to death.

So, Tang Fei looked at Shang Xiulin with a surprised look on his face and asked, “Why would the dean ask me such a question? Why would I want to be an enemy of the whole world?”

“I came from Blue Star. I know how terrible war is. I love peace.”

Tang Fei smiled bitterly and looked helpless: “Besides, I am just a small person with a small nose and small eyes. Even if I want to be an enemy of the whole world, why? Who would take me seriously? If I have such a thought, wouldn’t it be self-humiliation?”

Shang Xiulin was not deceived by Tang Fei’s self-mockery and sophistry. From the first time he saw him, he already knew what kind of character this guy was.

He is the product of a place like Old Earth. Like Xiao Pang

If he didn’t have such a brother, he wouldn’t be able to survive in a place like Old Earth where people eat people.

He would have been eaten long ago.

It literally means eating.

"Since you have never thought of making an enemy of the whole world, what have you been doing recently?"

Shang Xiulin stared at Tang Fei with sharp eyes and asked: "First, you hit the Lu family, then the Yu family, and now the Qin family. Do you know how dangerous they are? How terrible are they?"

"The reason why you are still alive and can sit in front of me and drink tea is because everything is within their control. You haven't hurt them or hurt them yet."

"If you make them feel the crisis and make them feel that this is a choice of life and death, they will show their true power. At that time, no one can protect you, and they won't protect you either."

"You will be thrown away like an abandoned pawn, and no one will care about your life or death."

"You don't think that you can be arrogant and lawless on this rising star with the support of the Supervisory Council and the royal family?"

It has to be said that Shang Xiulin's words are harsh and unpleasant.

However, Tang Fei can hear deep concern and worry from them.

Is he caring about himself?

Why?

Because he is Xiaopang's master and he is Xiaopang's brother?

Or does he think that the two brothers are helpless and need someone to step up and enlighten them at this critical moment?

Is this just sympathy?

Seeing the master's sharp words accusing his elder brother, Xiaopang was scared.

His white fat face was full of fear and helplessness. If someone dared to do this to his brother, he would go out and pick up a hammer, but the person sitting opposite was his respected and beloved master Shang Xiulin.

So, he hurriedly explained for Tang Fei, saying: "Master, you misunderstood my brother. My brother is not the kind of person who likes to stir up trouble. Usually, he has to fight back when others provoke him."

Fearing that this would make the master sad, he looked up at Shang Xiulin and said: "Master, I will persuade my brother when I go back, and tell him to be careful when doing things, but don't let those bad guys hurt him"

"I know that Master is doing this for my brother's good. My brother is much smarter than me, and he will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

As if he was worried that Tang Fei didn't understand, he turned to look at Tang Fei and said aloud: "Brother, Master is doing this for your own good. He is afraid that you will be in danger. You understand, right?"

Tang Fei squinted his eyes and smiled, reaching out to touch Xiao Pang's head, just like he was still the little boy who liked to look up at him with admiration and worship.

"I understand." Tang Fei nodded.

"Master, you see. I know my brother understands everything. He knows that you are doing this for his own good."

Shang Xiulin was troubled by Xiao Pang's noise, but he really couldn't bear to blame this pure and kind child.

If he didn't have such thoughts, he wouldn't have taken him back as his apprentice and raised him at home like his own son.

Shang Xiulin didn't say anything, but stared at Tang Fei with burning eyes, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

A real reason, not the kind of perfunctory response.

He has been teaching and educating people all his life, and has seen countless people. He can still sense whether a person is sincere and whether he has lied.

Tang Fei was silent for a moment, looked at Shang Xiulin and said: "Dean, if I say I was forced to do it, do you believe it?"

Shang Xiulin frowned slightly, but did not refute.

He understood what Tang Fei meant, and he also knew who the person who could force him to do it was.

"You may not know that I actually resigned once. To be honest, I was scared and I didn't want to do it anymore." Tang Fei said in a deep voice.

Shang Xiulin nodded and said: "There are no secrets in Phoenix City. Even if there are, it's only temporary."

He knew that matter, even more clearly than many people knew.

Not to mention that his sons and daughters are working in important government departments, even he himself dare not underestimate the power of a college dean.

Moreover, he was the dean of the Empire's First Military Academy.

"But, I was taken to Phoenix Palace the night I resigned. They talked to me for a long time. They hoped that I could stand up and they wanted me to do that thing."

"Dean, I know that people outside are scolding me, calling me the Black Impermanence, calling me the executioner, and some people say that I am a vicious wolf who eats people without leaving any bones."

Tang Fei's expression was ferocious, and even his voice became hoarse. Everyone could see the pain in his heart: "But I have no choice. I am just a knife. I have to cut whoever they tell me to cut."

"I even have to know clearly to what extent they want me to cut. Which knife can have its own consciousness?"

Shang Xiulin was silent.

He was silent because he didn't know what to say.

He knew that Tang Fei was telling the truth, and he believed that Tang Fei was "sincere" at this moment.

Everything he had was given by the royal family, so when the royal family came to him, he could only cooperate unconditionally.

Resist?

No one can resist the royal family, not even him.

Otherwise, why would he, a native of the old land, go against the giant families such as the Qin and Lu families?

They have no interest exchanges, no conflicts, and what can he get by beating them to death and crippling them?

So, he could only bear the humiliation and be a knife, a mad dog and a wolf.

No matter how the outside world looked at him or scolded him, he still had to grit his teeth and persist, and bear all the sins on his own body.

He was just a young man, but he had to bear such an unbearable burden.

Even so, he still protected his younger brother so well that he was not attacked or harassed by the outside world.

Shang Xiulin suddenly felt sorry for Tang Fei.

Xiaopang cried.

Seeing his elder brother's hideous and twisted expression and hearing what he said, his eyes turned red.

He wanted to hold back his tears, but he couldn't.

His elder brother was suffering too much and too tired.

But he couldn't help his elder brother at all.

His elder brother suffered so much grievance outside, and after coming back, he had to cook for him, practice martial arts with him, and watch horror movies he didn't like.

His elder brother never said a harsh word to him, let alone mentioned anything about work.

He always thought that with Sister Fenghuang taking care of him, his elder brother should live a comfortable and comfortable life.

He didn't expect that his elder brother would live such a life.

He was just a knife, a killing weapon without thoughts and could only obey orders.

Thinking of this, Xiaopang's heart was filled with infinite hatred again.

He hated those who manipulated his brother's life, and he hated those who forced his brother into this state.

He wanted to kill them all and smash their heads with a skull hammer.

Xiaopang wiped his tears, suddenly stood up and ran outside.

"Xiaopang, what are you doing?" Tang Fei shouted.

"I'm going to practice." Xiaopang answered without looking back.

"It's time to eat," Tang Fei wanted to pull him back.

Shang Xiulin waved his hand and said, "Let him go."

Anyway, it will take some time to eat, and when the meal is ready, let Ran Ran go and call him back.

Xiaopang was emotional and full of hostility. It would be useless for him to stay, and it would affect his pure and clean state of mind, which would be detrimental to his later practice.

Shang Xiulin refilled the empty cup in front of Tang Fei with tea, and after he finished drinking, he raised his hand again to help him finish it.

Tang Fei drank three cups of tea in a row, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Yes, he was acting.

This is the process of his performance.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.

He deceived Shang Xiulin and even deceived his dearest brother.

However, he had no choice.

He felt very sad, but he could only hide it in his heart.

Others' pain can be expressed, but his pain can only be expressed in a different way.

He was in pain because he was manipulated by the royal family and misunderstood by the outside world.

It's definitely not because he deceived Xiaopang and Shang Xiulin who wanted to get him back on track.

Shang Xiulin had been carefully observing the changes in Tang Fei's expression. When his expression stabilized and his eyes became clear, he asked, "What are your plans next?"

Tang Fei looked confused and shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just feel that I'm in a difficult situation now and it's hard to get rid of it."

"Originally, these words should have been said by your master, but the Grand Master is in seclusion recently and you may not see him."

"You studied at the First Military Academy of my Empire, and I am half your teacher, so I will speak frankly about some things. You are in danger now, extremely dangerous. You may lose your life at any time."

Tang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, this is my fate?"

Shang Xiulin shook his head and said, "Others have no way out, but you do."

" Oh? Who would care about our life or death for a small character like me? "

"You still have time to withdraw now." Shang Xiulin looked at Tang Fei sincerely and said softly: "Just say that you have suddenly realized something recently and need to calm down and practice with concentration, and then return directly to Bailu Academy."

"With the title of Grandmaster, even the royal family has to give him some respect. As for those who have been offended by you before, even if they want to retaliate, they will never dare to run to Bailu Mountain to commit crimes."

"You stay on Bailu Mountain. On the one hand, you can practice to break through the realm and improve your strength again. At least, you must become a junior master like Shen Xinglan. Becoming a junior master will have more guarantees for your safety. "

"The other is to wait for the opportunity and wait for the chaos to subside. Phoenix City is now in a stormy situation. You have no roots on Nova and will be shattered if you get involved. Why do you have to stay and wade into this muddy water? "

Shang Xiulin is a wise man, he has long seen that the situation in front of him is dangerous.

The source of danger lies in the royal family. In order for the new emperor to ascend the throne, Zhong Daolong must cleanse the nine major families.

Fight one wave, kill one wave, win over one wave.

Otherwise, who will this country listen to in the future?

Who is the master of the empire?

The situation is so complicated that smart people keep silent and protect themselves wisely.

However, Tang Bandit became the vanguard of this great change, taking the lead and rushing to the front.

How dangerous is this? How stupid is that?

Tang Bandit understood what Shang Xiulin meant, and both Fenghuang and Sheng Xinhuai had mentioned the suggestions he gave to him.

If he was really just a Xinxing refugee, he would hide in Bailu Mountain without hesitation. If he was more than three hundred meters away from the Grand Master, he would be an unfilial son.

But, he is not.

He has his own ambitions and intentions, and he has a mission that he has to complete.

Yes, the wind is high and the sea is rough now.

However, what Shang Xiulin didn't know was that he was also one of the masterminds behind the situation.

It can even be said that everything happens because of yourself.

Because of the tragedy eighteen years ago, because of his own blood feud, and because of the sad and angry souls who survived by chance.

Tang Bandit looked at Shang Xiulin with a grateful face and said loudly: "Dean, thank you for your concern and advice. I promise you that I will definitely find a way to protect myself."

After hearing Tang Bandit's answer, Shang Xiulin understood his attitude.

He is not ready to quit now, nor is he planning to return to Bailu Mountain now.

Shang Xiulin said everything he needed to say, and what he wanted to express was clearly expressed.

Tang Bandit was unwilling to obey, so he had nothing to say.

He is the elder brother of his disciple, not his direct disciple.

If you use too much force, you will annoy others.

Shang Xiulin looked at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "Little Fatty only has a brother like you, and I don't want anything to happen to you. But if you make up your mind to do something, I can only wish you immediate success."

Tang Bandi stood up and bowed deeply to Shang Xiulin.

Shang Xiulin waved his hand and said, "Go and get Xiaopang back. It's time to eat."

"good."

Tang Bandit came to the Black Dragon Pond again, and Xiaopang was hitting the water in the pond with a skull hammer.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Hammer after hammer.

Tang Bandit walked to the shore and sat down. He just watched the little fat man splashing into the water quietly without saying a word.

Xiaopang smashed it for a while, then walked over to Tang Bandit and sat down with the hammer.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Xiaopang whispered.

Tang Bandit grinned and said, "What are you talking about? Why are you sorry for me?"

"I can't help you with anything, I'm an idiot."

"Who said our little fat guy is stupid? During the entrance exam, so many teachers were vying to accept you as a student, and in the end, the dean of business got the advantage. How could such a person be a fool?"

"Brother, I can only throw rocks, but I can't do anything else."

"It'll be good if you can smash rocks." Tang Bandit's voice was gentle, and he was always extra patient when dealing with Xiaopang. "Think about it, when you were hating the mountain, you were the fat little guy who was the best at throwing rocks in our entire region. Are you awesome?"

"Brother, I am not a child anymore. I should go to the Overwatch Council, and I should stay by your side."

Xiaopang's voice was low, his eyes became red again, and he said softly: "I didn't know it was so difficult for you. If I knew, I would definitely stand with you. Even if there is thunder and lightning, let them hit me first. "

"It's not that serious." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "Didn't you see it too? Didn't I live a good life? Nothing happened. When I finish this time, we will go out to play. Don't you want to go to the North?" Want to see the glacier? We will go there then.”

"By the way, I have also sent people to find the old man. Maybe he will be found by then. In that case, we can travel together and the family can be reunited again."

Hearing Tang Bandi mention the old man, Xiaopang's expression softened a little. He looked up at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "Brother, you know, no matter what you do at any time, I will stand by you." Over here, where you are, I’m there.”

"Of course." Tang Bandit nodded and said, "Who told us that we are half-brothers?"

"Brother, I'm hungry."

"Come on, let's go home for dinner. The meal is already prepared, and it's all your favorite dishes."

"Brother, let's go together."

"Um."

"Brother, can you really get your godfather back?"

"Of course, I will definitely get him back." Tang Bandi nodded seriously. Anyway, he only gave the old man half a year.

When the half-year period is up, no matter whether the old man wants it or not, or whether the time is ripe, whether he kidnaps him or lies him, he must be brought to the little fat man.

Xiaopang misses the old man so much.

He and the old man are Xiaopang's only relatives.

——

Chitose Mountain. The old residence of the Qin family.

Qin Wangyue looked at her grandson who was standing tall and tall in military uniform in front of him, and said complainingly: "Why are you back? The military affairs are so busy, and the border situation is so tense. Are trivial things worth your special trip back?"

Qin Jianyi smiled cheerfully and explained: "In your eyes, it is naturally a trivial matter. But in the hearts of us younger generations, it is a great matter. How can we compete with you in determination?"

"You already know the matter, what do you think?"

"The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. I am going to talk to Tang Fei."

"Your sister has already talked to him." Qin Wangyue reminded.

"Women talk differently from men." Qin Jianyi smiled and said: "I believe he is a smart man, and smart people will make smart choices."
