"He went to visit Mr. Lu and even revealed the core ingredients of the Shen's Nutrition Liquid."

Tang Fei and Phoenix exchanged glances, but both remained composed.

"I understand." Tang Fei nodded and said, "Go on with your work."

"Yes." Lin Hai turned and left.

"He's a clever man." Phoenix commented with a sigh.

"Indeed." Tang Fei's gaze was profound as he echoed, "He truly is a clever man."

Dushan Army. Main Camp.

Because Shen Anyuan and Ji Yunfeng's bodies were crushed to pulp, leaving no corpse to speak of, only a clothes ceremony could be used for the tribute.

They took a handful of red soil from the battlefield and wrapped it in the deceased's clothing for the ceremony.

Shen Qingping couldn't find any clothes his parents had worn, only a Peaceful Jade Pendant made from top-grade nephrite jade given to him for his eighteenth birthday, which he used to express his sorrow.

Shen Qingping wore mourning clothes and a white veil, kneeling before the altar to burn paper offerings.

Numerous Dushan Army senior generals like Lu Zhiyong, He Hongyu, Chen Ran, Bai Li, and others dressed in black with white veils, standing nearby to accompany the ceremony.

Seeing Tang Fei arrive, everyone bowed in respect:

"Greetings, Lord."

"I'd like to chat with Qingping." Tang Fei spoke up.

"Yes, Lord."

The crowd acknowledged and withdrew.

Tang Fei approached the altar, took three sticks of incense, lit them, bowed thrice to the altar, then placed the incense into the burner.

Shen Qingping stood up to salute and solemnly said, "Thank you, Lord, for coming to pay respects to my mother."

"Qingping, please be sure to restrain your grief."

"Yes, Lord."

Tang Fei looked at Shen Qingping's pale and thin face, speaking solemnly, "My parents and family were killed by the Shen Family, and so for years, I have been seeking revenge."

"Your parents were also killed by the Shen Family, so you must seek revenge too."

"The crime of killing parents is unforgivable. I vow to be irreconcilable with the Shen Family." Shen Qingping gritted his teeth and said.

"What you need to do is what I need to do. I will share my power with you, and I also need to draw on your strength."

"At your command, Lord." Shen Qingping bowed and said.

Tang Fei patted Shen Qingping's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "We not only share a common enemy, but also a common goal, and a bright future."

"In the Red Desert, I told you Shen Wuxiang might die, but the Shen Family will not perish... Under your leadership, the Shen Family will step into another glorious future."

"Thank you, Lord."

Tang Fei nodded and turned to leave.

He had spoken everything that needed to be said; he would help him revenge and give him a bright future...

Other things were meaningless to say.

"Lord..."

Tang Fei stopped his steps, looking at Shen Qingping with puzzlement.

Shen Qingping looked at Tang Fei, his face full of sorrow, and said, "My parents are dead, I'm very sad. But that doesn't mean I wish others to suffer the same pain as me."

Tang Fei was silent for a moment, then lifted his feet to leave.

Shen Qingping... has grown to this extent?

Indeed, in a greenhouse, you can't grow a millennium-old pine, nor can a courtyard produce a galloping horse.

Only after experiencing true blood and fire can one be reborn.

As Tang Fei's figure moved farther away, Shen Qingping knelt again before the altar.

"Dad... Mom... your son has grown up..."

"I will definitely avenge you."

------

Liyu Port. Beihai Fleet.

The Star Disc slowly descended onto the deck, with Bai Wuxin leading a group of Ghost Team Members to guard nearby.

Tang Fei leaped down from the Star Disc, teasing Bai Wuxin, "Even amongst ourselves, this kind of welcoming arrangement?"

Bai Wuxin spoke expressionlessly, "Just afraid you might get lost."

It's been a while since they've seen each other, and the kid has grown increasingly handsome.

A bit irritating.

"Indeed." Tang Fei looked at the enormous command ship, as if stretching to infinity, and said, "With no one to guide, it's really hard to know where to go. Let's go, let's meet our friends from far away."

Bai Wuxin led the way, Tang Fei met with the Beihai Fleet Commander Chen Binghan and others in the prison on the lower decks.

"Hello everyone, I am Tang Fei."

Tang Fei glanced around, cheerfully doing his self-introduction.

Chen Binghan and others stared coldly at Tang Fei, yet no one spoke up.

From senior officers of the Beihai Fleet turned to prisoners, who could feel good in their hearts?

It's still uncertain how they'll be dealt with later.

Just, to their surprise, the enemy leader was so young...

Some senior officers or staff's family sons were even older than Tang Fei.

"I'm here to make friends with everyone." Tang Fei didn't mind everyone's attitude, continuing, "Of course, due to the scarcity of time, we might not have a chance to get to know each other deeply..."

"So, those willing to be friends with us, I warmly welcome. Those unwilling, I can understand."

"What happens if we don't want to be your friends?" Xie Yifeng asked.

"Liyu Port will soon be my family's fish pond, and the fish in the pond have nothing to eat... you wouldn't mind helping feed them, right?"

"..."

Everyone was shocked.

Though the port is called Liyu Port, it houses sharks.

Who would feed them? With what?

Tang Fei did not choose to actively chat with anyone, the opportunity lay before them, let's see if they can seize it.

If they accept his goodwill, that would be ideal.

If they wish to demonstrate their backbone, Tang Fei wouldn't mind.

The fish pond is large, it can hold a lot of people.

"How will we proceed next?" Bai Wuxin asked.

He was temporarily in charge of the Beihai Fleet's affairs, but he only knew how to kill, not how to command ships.

"Lu Zhiyong's side will dispatch a management team of three hundred people, first disperse them and embed them across various ships as technical officers."

"Of course, I know this is a drop in the ocean... replacing the entire Beihai Fleet's command system and technical personnel will require time."

"We had no navy previously, no suitable reserve officers... Lu Clan could provide some, but the Barren Land is blocked by Shen Wuxiang's army, getting people out isn't easy..."

"So, if the current command system and technical team can be preserved, it would be very convenient for us."

Bai Wuxin's eyes showed confusion as he asked Tang Fei, "Since you want them to stay... why did you show such dislike just now?"

"When we entered, did you notice their expressions?"

Bai Wuxin recalled and said, "They had no expression on their faces."

"What does this signify? It signifies they are proud, fearless. They think we can't afford to kill them, maybe even need them..."

"Isn't that precisely true?"

"Indeed." Tang Fei acknowledged with nod, saying, "Among all military branches, the navy is the proudest. These senior officers and staff who master ship driving and sea combat experience are particularly proud, usually dismissing others."

"However, with this attitude, it's unfavorable to our negotiations... so I must quell their arrogance."

"I want to create a sense of urgency and crisis for them, let them know I'm not desperate for them... I believe someone will soon come to me for a private chat..."

"So, you gathered everyone to meet, then separated them for detention... to make them suspicious of each other... then pick them off individually?"

"No, I'm just afraid they're too shy to proactively chat with me... You know, in starting a business, we must protect customer privacy."

"Such a sly heart."

"What?" Tang Fei asked.

"I still prefer killing." Bai Wuxin said.

A swift strike, heads roll.

Smooth and clean.

Who needs so many twists and turns?

Just then, a Ghost Team Member walked in quickly, reported, "Lord, the prisoners in cell one request a meeting."

Tang Fei raised his eyebrows at Bai Wuxin, didn't I say it's no mistake?

Bai Wuxin turned his face away, not wanting to see his smug expression.
