"Then why did you inquire about matters of spiritual souls?" Professor Guo asked again.

A powerful aura emanated from him, condensing into a sharp, fierce pressure that silently landed on Ma Kainian.

Ma Kainian trembled in his heart when he saw Xiang Beifei, startled by the terrifying presence exuding from Xiang.

Xiang Beifei was the man rumored to have killed a One-Armed Crab in the later stages of Meridian Opening with a single punch. His presence here was no joke.

Collecting his wits, Ma Kainian cursed internally. After all, he was an official of the alliance; no matter how famous this kid was, he was just a civilian, powerless and without influence. If anyone should be scared, it should be him!

"Xiang Beifei, quite the big shot," Ma Kainian said with a sneer.

Xiang Beifei didn't speak, merely glancing indifferently before walking over to Kong Daming and asking, "I saw the phone message just now. What's wrong with my grandfather?"

"I'm not sure; he seemed unwell just now, so I helped him upstairs to rest. He's up there," Kong Daming replied.

"Got it, I'll go up and check on him."

Without another word, Xiang Beifei headed for the staircase.

However, Ma Kainian, feeling ignored, was quite annoyed!

"Humph! Not even a basic courtesy..."

"Roll!"

Xiang Beifei simply commanded.

"Yes."

Ma Kainian's mind went blank, and before he knew it, he lay down and actually rolled out of the room.

"What?"

Kong Daming and Zhang Xiang watched in shock as Ma Kainian rolled away on the ground, completely stupefied.

Ma Kainian actually... just rolled away like that?

This turn of events was totally unexpected.

"Why do we need to patrol the archive room? Who would do something as pointless as stealing from the archives? If you ask me, it probably wouldn't matter even if we didn't come here for a year."

Zhou Guan leaned back, hands behind his head, following Sun Zhong. He wasn't very interested in this job and kept muttering complaints along the way.

Having reached the third floor, Sun Zhong patrolled past a line of rooms.

[You have patrolled the N-level Talent Review Department, patrol value +2]

[You have patrolled the N-level Talent Dispatch Department, patrol value +2]

...

After circling the empty room a few times, Sun Zhong pressed a button on the wall to ensure the alarm was working correctly before leaving the room.

[You have patrolled the Main Archive Entrance, patrol value +5]

But just then, Zheng Xing thought of something, hastily took out his phone to video call his son, and then asked, "Son, you mentioned you had seen Xiang Beifei before. Take a look, is this person Xiang Beifei?"

During the initial talent competition, students from elite schools, although not present, had watched the live broadcast. Anyone with eyesight could recognize him.

Zheng Xing's son, although from Jizhou University, had seen Xiang Beifei. Upon seeing him, he excitedly exclaimed, "It's him! That's him! The genius who trampled the SSR from Qingzhou University under his feet! Dad, you actually met him? Oh my God!"

That was the legendary genius!

"You really are that Xiang Beifei!" Zheng Xing was also stunned.

His son had also told him about the freshmen competition before the holiday period, and he was quite amazed by Xiang Beifei. He never imagined he would run into such a great talent so coincidentally today!

After a moment, he quickly came to his senses, excitedly stating, "He is Xiang Beifei, no doubt about it. My son is from Jizhou University and has seen him before!"

Xiang Beifei put the matter aside for the moment and asked, "By the way, Uncle Kong, are there any houses for rent nearby? We're thinking of moving over."

"A house? Yes, there is. You should've moved here long ago. The old man always talked about saving money for quests and stuff. What made you change your mind suddenly?" Kong Daming inquired.

"Xiaofei is growing up. A shabby house might prevent him from finding a wife," Xiang Qingde stated solemnly.

"Hahaha, that's true," Kong Daming nodded.

But Lu Hong disagreed, "How could that be! If she truly likes him, she wouldn't care about the house."

"Still, it's good to live in a nice place; the old house was a bit too dim," Kong Daming remarked. "Leave it to me, I remember a family moved out from my floor, just two doors down from my place, diagonally opposite. Moving in would be convenient for looking after each other."

"By the way Uncle Kong, when is your restaurant planning to open?" Xiang Beifei asked.

The appearance of a desolate beast like the One-Armed Crab was still a mystery, and Xiang Beifei suspected someone who had yet to be found.

Xiao Sheng!

The SR who had disguised himself as an N-level staff member had disappeared somewhere before the desolate beast appeared that day, and he wanted to see if Xiao Sheng would return to work.

"The day after tomorrow! The employees have been asking about it as well. Speaking of which, I should contact them, we've been closed for so long." Kong Daming said.

"Then I'll go to the wholesale market tomorrow, our supply of ingredients has been cut off, I have to renegotiate with them," Xiang Qingde said.

Kong Daming hurriedly said, "No need, Uncle Xiang, you should rest, I'll take care of it."

"We've been idle for so long already, it's good to get moving. I'm familiar with that place anyway, and there's still a lot to do for the reopening. Many customers have made reservations, waiting to support us when we reopen. You'll be busy then, I can go tomorrow," Xiang Qingde waved his hand, insisting.

Kong Daming couldn't argue anymore and had to agree.

When Xiang Beifei returned home, he made a point of talking to his grandfather in front of the living room camera, clearly explaining his reason for moving out, directly stating that he could make money now and didn't want to live there anymore.

An Awakener in the Meridian Opening phase can easily make enough money to support himself. Those who were surveilling their house would, unless they were fools, know Xiang Beifei's current Cultivation Realm after making inquiries at the school, so nobody would doubt this excuse.

That way, they should start watching his new home. Xiang Beifei was curious to see who would try to install surveillance under his nose.

After saying all this, Xiaohei then blocked the camera again.

The grandfather and grandson packed up together that evening, and really, they had quite a lot of stuff in their home.

"We'll need to call a car. There's no elevator, we can carry it down together when the time comes," Xiang Qingde was contemplating the most convenient way to move.

"I can handle the stuff myself, Grandpa doesn't need to worry too much, just rest on the side," Xiang Beifei said.

"How can that be possible? How can you move so much stuff by yourself? Grandpa can still do work, I'll help you carry it." Xiang Qingde was worried that his grandson would wear himself out, after all, moving was a tiring task.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but laugh wryly, "Grandpa, why do I always feel like you've forgotten that I'm a martial artist?"

"So what if you're a martial artist? A lot of martial artists also hire people when they move," Xiang Qingde said.

Xiang Beifei stamped his foot again, and all the packed boxes started to float up, hovering in mid-air.

Light as a feather.

To lighten the weight of the objects and then use Spiritual Power to pull them all up.

Xiang Qingde looked on in amazement at the feat, "I didn't know you had this ability!"

Xiang Beifei also realized that he rarely discussed his abilities with his grandfather; he smiled, put everything down, then glanced at the camera on the ceiling and said, "Don't worry, from now on, I'll handle everything. You just need to rest, Grandpa."

Xiang Qingde was momentarily stunned and looked at Xiang Beifei in a daze.

There was a time when he was always carefully protecting his grandson, safeguarding his self-esteem, telling him to be positive and hopeful, and hoping he wouldn't give up on himself.

But ever since the Awakening System, his grandson had changed, becoming diligent and cheerful, now an Awakener in the Meridian Opening phase with the ability to protect himself.

It took a while for Xiang Qingde to come back to his senses, then he smiled, "The Awakening System really is a good thing."

Suddenly he felt old, needing protection from his grandson.

That was good too, with the grandson being so sensible, it made him happy to watch.

Moving wasn't a difficult task. If ordinary N-level Awakeners were to move, and they didn't have the corresponding space-system, would have to hire a moving company, rent a vehicle, and spend a sum of money.

Xiang Beifei didn't need to do that, just having Xiaohei spit bubbles was enough.

"Xiaofei is now a big star, we'll all rely on you in the future!" Kong Daming joked.

"Isn't being a star very tiring? I heard you have to shoot all kinds of films every day," Lu Zhiwei asked curiously.

"That won't do! Xiaofei needs to practice cultivation," Lu Hong said seriously. Unconsciously, he had started calling Beifei 'Xiaofei'. In his mind, Xiang Beifei was still a martial artist, and rightly so, cultivation should come first.

Chen Xiuqin came in from outside and laughed, "Not to hide it from you, these last few days I don't know how many talent agencies have called me. They all know I'm acquainted with Xiaofei, and they constantly inquire about related commercial activities, offering various large amounts of money asking if Xiaofei is willing to sign with their companies."

"So what did you say?" Kong Daming asked.

"Of course, I said we'd consider it. How can I make such decisions? We still need to ask Xiaofei's opinion," Chen Xiuqin smiled. She hadn't agreed to any offers, neither had she completely refused, still leaving a choice open for Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, then said, "I do need to cultivate, I don't have time for filming or commercials. However, when I have time, I can start a column to teach everyone how to kill desolate beasts, so as not to let people panic in such situations."

He needed to use this identity to properly guide everyone.

Lu Hong's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Right, many civilians, living in inland cities, have too superficial a concept of desolate beasts. Most of them lack a sense of crisis. Your idea is good."

For powerful desolate beasts, martial artists might be used to them, but for civilians, they were still a rare encounter. As a martial artist, it was naturally Xiang Beifei's duty to advertise for martial arts.

"That's great, I'll help promote you. As a celebrity, you always need to specialize in something. You're a martial artist, so you should do it the martial artist's way," Chen Xiuqin said. As someone who worked in the entertainment industry and was familiar with many stars, she knew very well how to market. As Xiang Beifei's number one mom-fan, Chen Xiuqin was more than happy to help him.

This matter was thus settled, and Xiang Beifei didn't have to do much. Once the next semester started and he went on missions in the outer domains, just casually filming a few videos would be a simple task.

But speaking of which—

"Does she really think she can manipulate my reputation at will like this?"

The person who last tried to use Xiang Beifei's fame to make money had already been dealt with by him.

This time, thinking of using him as a pawn without consulting him, was clearly an intentional move to push him into the spotlight.
