They didn’t know if Luo Xiaobai had ever encountered such a ridiculous divorce predicament. In any case, they had never seen it before.

He just divorced his wife so easily? Clearly Su Cheng had known about this plan and even slapped his wife twice.

This scene was like a television drama.

This matter was resolved very quickly. In just half an hour, she had already been taken away cursing and kicking.

Han Fei and the others even sighed. The TV drama ended so quickly?

Only then did Su Cheng come to Han Fei and the others to apologize and leave.

As for the Explorer referred to as Second Patriarch, he stayed behind and smiled at Han Fei and the others. “My friends, I’m really sorry. Although we shouldn’t air our dirty laundry in public, we had no choice.”

Luo Xiaobai asked, “What compensation will there be for us?”

Luo Xiaobai was straightforward.

She had seen through this trick long ago. Furthermore, she was smart enough to know that since it had already happened, the Thug Academy was a part of it.

Although her impression of the Su Family had plummeted, this wasn’t the time to fall out with them. Asking for compensation was the best choice.

Han Fei smiled and said, “Before that, there’s something else we need to know. I just want to know if the mother and son in the yard were acting.”

The elder shook his head with a smile. “That was definitely not an act. That mother and son took an unorthodox path, but that child’s talent is pretty good. A level-six low-quality spiritual heritage might not catch your eyes, but that child has an excellent talent and can endure hardship.”

Zhang Xuanyu frowned. “If you knew that he’s talented, why did you place him and his mother in such a place? Letting him be bossed around by a maidservant?”

The elder sighed and said, “Our Su Family has long declined. Most of our descendants are useless. And my young friends, I think you know that if you need to tap into a person’s potential, you’ll have to suppress him, polish him, and even make his heart full of hatred. Only then might he have a chance in the future.”

Luo Xiaobai said, “You’ve long taken a fancy to him?”

The old man nodded. “Yes, so we deliberately let the servants bully him. Of course, we will ensure that he and his mother are alive. He is one of the family members that our Su Family wants to send to the Thug Academy.”

Le Renkuang muttered, “I really don’t understand! It’s so difficult to be a descendant of a large family!”

Li Luoluo snorted. “It seems it’s better to stay in town. There’s freedom in towns. There aren’t so many schemes there.”

Zhang Xuanyu curled his lips. “You just didn’t see it...”

Han Fei nodded. “Alright, we’ll see. However, Senior Su, we were used during our first ever time visiting you. That doesn’t make sense, right? You’ll have to make up for it.”

The elder smiled and said, “Of course. The compensation is that from today onwards, our Su Family will completely stand on the side of the Thug Academy. Our Su Family can do anything for you that is inconvenient for you to do.”

Luo Xiaobai asked in surprise, “What trouble do you have?”

The elder sighed slightly. “To be honest, the Su Family doesn’t have many good descendents. Although the two Explorers of our family are only about 800 years old, we were once forced to expend too much of our vitality, leaving the two of us with less than ten years to live. If the two of us die, the Su Family won’t be far from complete decline.”

Han Fei took a deep breath. This old man is so bold! He’s betting everything on the Thug Academy.

Han Fei said indifferently, “Are you sure you can get the corresponding reward for doing this?”

The elder smiled and said, “As long as one of the chosen children rises to prominence, the Su Family will be revived. As long as the two of them don’t perish, the Su Family will not be wiped out. I won’t lose.”

Luo Xiaobai suddenly asked, “After learning that the Thug Academy has returned, you must have investigated the matters regarding the Scattered Stars Island, right?”

The elder nodded slightly. “I’ve heard of the news. My young friends, you are all legendary figures. Even the big families dare not mess with you.”

Luo Xiaobai said, “Then why are you betting on the Thug Academy?”

The old man grinned brightly. “The people behind the Thug Academy are willing to put you in the Thousand Star City. How can our Su Family not take the bet?”

The old man’s words rendered Han Fei and the others speechless.

After all, they were a family that had once been glorious, so they dared to stake everything they had on a single bet. It was a sink or swim deal.

But did the Thug Academy need it?

Of course.

With two Explorers protecting the Thug Academy branch in the Thousand Star City for ten years, even if they offended a small family and took in two students, they had nothing to lose.

Han Fei shrugged. “Alright, so be it. Anyway, the Zhao Family won’t be stronger than the Chu Sect and the Cao Family, right? Since we’ve already met one child, where’s the other?”

The elder smiled and said, “Young friends, please attend the banquet, but with me around, there will be suspicion, so I’m afraid I can’t accompany you.”

Han Fei and the others understood that the old man had his concerns. How could a dying man not have any concerns?

Luo Xiaobai said, “Alright! Let’s go to the banquet.”

...

But Han Fei didn’t feel comfortable. As soon as they entered, they were tricked. Although the outcome wasn’t bad, it left a poor taste.

Compared to these old foxes, he was like a piece of white paper.

Luo Xiaobai said, “Don’t worry. The Su Family is betting on the Thug Academy. Besides, at this juncture, the sudden appearance of the Thug Academy is their straw to clutch at.”

At this moment, the butler was already waiting on the way, smiling at Han Fei and the others as if he didn’t know what had just happened.

The Su Family’s welcoming banquet was held in the courtyard. It was brightly lit everywhere. The entire banquet venue was more than 2,000 square meters large with more than a hundred tables.

At the very front of the banquet was an arena-like clearing, and Han Fei’s table was closest to the arena. Su Yang personally accompanied them, along with some famous people who weren’t from the Su Family.

After Han Fei and the others sat down, Su Yang introduced, “My young friends, these are all from the famous families of the Pure Sun Island. This is Liu Chengzhi, an advanced Law Enforcer who is in charge of the Pure Sun Island’s trade market... This is...”

In fact, Han Fei wasn’t interested in these people at all.

Luo Xiaobai wasn’t interested either, so she just said, “If anyone wants to enter the Thug Academy, he’ll have to pass the test. Family Head Su, most of the people should be here. Please let all the children of the Su Family come out!”

Su Yang smiled and said, “My young friends, do you want to announce to the public that the Thug Academy is about to recruit students before the test?”

Han Fei nodded. “Alright!”

Immediately, Han Fei’s figure flashed and appeared in the arena.

The moment Han Fei stood in the ring, everyone’s eyes were focused on him. The voices of conversation also became quieter.

Han Fei declared, “My name is Han Fei. I’m the acting president of the Thug Academy in the Pure Sun Island of the Thousand Star City. I’m sure everyone here today knows about the return of the Thug Academy! I’ll cut to the chase. The Thug Academy will start recruiting students from tomorrow on. However, heh... We’ll only recruit three students. Why three? Because we’ll recruit two students right away. Anyone can participate. Those who want to come can gather outside the Thug Academy tomorrow.”

Wow!

Below, countless people were dumbfounded. What the hell? Your school will only recruit three more students?

Someone said, “They’ll only recruit three more students?”

Someone was speechless. “Isn’t this too few? Are they really an academy?”

Someone stood up and said, “My young friend, even the former Thug Academy wouldn’t only recruit this many students!”

Han Fei immediately said, “Don’t call me young friend. You can call me President Han. An acting president is also a president.”

The man rolled his eyes. You, a peak-level Hidden Fisher, are worthy of being the president?

Someone sneered. “Heh! Can a Hidden Fisher become the president of a school? Is it still the former Thug Academy?”

Han Fei certainly wouldn’t be afraid.

In fact, he didn’t care about anyone here. The Thug Academy never recruited disciples all at once. Apart from Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan, which one of them was recruited amongst a crowd?

Han Fei sneered. “It’s up to you whether you want to come or not. The Thug Academy will admit any student meeting our standard. As long as you can enter our school, you will be successful. That’s all I have to say. The rest is up to you.”

Just as Han Fei was about to leave the stage, someone suddenly sneered. “What if you, the acting president of the Thug Academy, loses?”

Suddenly, someone flew over from the sky. It was clearly a Law Enforcer.

Everyone looked up and found that this person was actually an intermediate Law Enforcer. His aura seemed to be stronger than the intermediate Law Enforcers Han Fei had encountered before.

Han Fei immediately looked at Su Yang. “You invited him?”

Su Yang stood up. “Who are you? It’s not appropriate for you to come uninvited, right?”

“Haha!”

The person smiled and said, “It’s none of your business. Since the Thug Academy has started recruiting, we have to see if they have the ability, right? If they just mess around here, isn’t that a joke?”

Han Fei immediately understood that this guy was here to cause trouble.

Su Yang shouted, “Sir, do you think it’s so easy to barge into my Su Family? If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude.”

That person said disdainfully, “Family Head Su, what’s wrong? These youths have just come to the Thousand Star City, but have already established a relationship with your Su Family? I’m just doubting their intentions. I haven’t done anything rash. Why is Family Head Su pushing me away?”

Han Fei stepped into the air. “That’s easy. You want to know if I, the acting president, have the ability? Okay. Let’s have a life-and-death battle now. Do you dare?”

“Hiss!”

Everyone below was in an uproar.

Someone exclaimed, “He’s indeed from the Thug Academy. Their people are always so arrogant!”

Someone sighed. “Although Han Fei seems to have a battle record of fighting five alone, junior and intermediate Law Enforcers are two different concepts.”

Someone frowned. “That’s not right! Why did I hear that Xu Li went as well? The power he unleashed is comparable to an intermediate-level Law Enforcer!”

On the other side, the youths who had been prepared all looked up into the sky as though they were listening to a heavenly book.

A peak-level Hidden Fisher challenging a Law Enforcer? Was this the strength of the Thug Academy?
