The Rebirth Waste Strikes Back Chapter 78

78 – Assassination of Yi Fan

Yi Fan returned to his living quarters and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Yi Fan also lived in an independent dormitory, and his place was a little remote. Yi Fan usually gave off the impression of a somewhat reclusive and eccentric young master, so very few people ever visited Yi Fan's residence.

Yi Fan closed the door and walked inside.

A dart came flying straight towards Yi Fan, and with a wave of Yi Fan's hand, the dart was blocked by a wall of ice and fell to the ground.

When Yi Fan waved his hand, a magic staff also appeared in Yi Fan's hand. Almost at the same time as when the staff reached Yi Fan's hand, an ice dragon flew out from the staff. Due to the surprise attack, a black-clothed person had no choice but to reveal himself.

“Ice magic, how can you do ice magic?” Du Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Yi Fan glanced at the visitor and said, “Du Feng, I didn't expect that cheap woman to send you here!”

Yang Man has been with Yi Xun for many years, and had already cultivated her own forces. Du Feng was one of Yang Man's people, and he's helped Yang Man handle many things.

“Why can I use ice magic? Why don't you go to hell and ask King Yama [1]!” Yi Fan's eyes flashed coldly.

An ice phoenix appeared in front of Du Feng, and some panic appeared on his face.

After discovering how dangerous Yi Fan was, Du Feng turned around and fled. A bright red snake appeared in front of Du Feng, and a cloud of black mist was sprayed out from the snake's head. Du Feng fell to the ground suddenly.

Yi Fan placed his foot on Du Feng's chest and asked, “Who sent you? Did Yang Man that woman send you here to kill me?”

Du Feng looked at Yi Fan and said with a hoarse voice, “It was you, you harmed the Second Young Master and placed the blame on the First Young Master, causing the First Young Master and the Second Young Master to turn against each other!”

Yi Fan looked at Du Feng and said, “You sure reacted quickly. Unfortunately, a smart person like you was actually willing to be Yang Man's lackey!”

Du Feng looked at Yi Fan and said, “You'll meet your retribution, the Madame will never let you off.”

“Speaking of retribution, it's that cheap woman who got her retribution first. When will it be my turn?” Yi Fan said indifferently.

“You…” Du Feng looked at Yi Fan angrily.

Yi Fan smiled at Du Feng brilliantly and said, “You're probably here to kill me, right? That's good, I'll send you off first then. Don't worry, every single one of you who helps Yang Man do evil [2], once you die, very soon you'll have someone to go accompany you. On the path to the Yellow Springs [3], you definitely won't be alone.”

Yi Fan had a strange smile on his face. One of his eyes was red, the other blue, and he was inexplicably terrifying to look at.

Du Feng's body was frozen on the surface, but there was a flame burning on the inside. Under the pressure from temperatures of extreme heat and cold, Du Feng turned into ashes.

After dealing with Du Feng, Yi Fan quickly put away the spirit snake, and not long after, there was a knock at the door.

Yi Fan opened the door, looked at the person who came, and asked, “Vice Principal, why did you come here?”

Li Hong glanced at Yi Fan's dormitory and said, “Just now there were a few strange magical fluctuations from over here. Did something happen with Student Yi?”

Yi Fan smiled and said, “It's nothing.”

“It seems that some bad people have infiltrated the college, Student Yi Fan, you should be more careful.” Li Hongdao.

“Thank you, Vice Principal, for your concern. I will.” Yi Fan said lightly.

Yi Fan turned his head around, and a small snake slithered out from under Yi Fan's wrist. Yi Fan smiled coldly, Du Feng had died, which was equivalent to breaking one of Yang Man's arms. Yang Man may not have cared too much before, but now that Yang Man's dealing with trouble both internally and from outside, she should probably be worried now. However, not even Du Feng's ashes were left now. Even if Yang Man wanted to investigate, it wouldn't be discovered.

Yi Family.

“Mother, what's wrong with you?” Yi Chuxue asked, looking at the restless Yang Man.

Yang Man pursed her lips and said, “Nothing?”

“Mother, that guard who's usually by your side, Du Feng, why isn't he here?” Yi Chuxue asked, somewhat confusedly.

Yang Man lowered her head. She had sent Du Feng to probe at Yi Fan's intentions yesterday, but Du Feng hadn't come back for the entire night, and she didn't know if something had happened to him.

“I sent him out to do a task.” Yang Man said.

Yi Chuxue nodded and said, “So it's like that!”

Yang Man couldn't help but clench her fists. She had sent Du Feng out just in case, but even now Du Feng still hasn't come back yet. Yang Man couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

“Madame.” A shadow guard wearing black appeared by Yang Man's side.

Yang Man nodded and said, “What's the situation?”

"Everything's normal at Tianlan College and nothing has happened so far," said the guard.

Yang Man lowered her head. How was that possible? Du Feng obviously went to Tianlan College, but hasn't returned all night! Could Du Feng have possibly been discovered by a teacher when he was sneaking into the college, and was killed by a teacher from Tianlan College? If so, then Du Feng was really wronged when he died.

Yi Chuxue looked at Yang Man's somber face, and immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.

Yi Chuxue lowered her head and secretly thought: It seems that ever since Yi Bing's accident, bad things have happened to the family one after another. Looking at her mother's face, it seems thatDu Feng probably had an accident. Usually, Yi Chuxue wouldn't care too much about a servant like Du Feng, but it's different now!

Yang Man narrowed her eyes and thought: Du Feng was missing. It seems that there really was a problem with Yi Fan.

Tianlan College.

“Master.”

When Hu Feng saw Qi Shaorong, he immediately showed a bright smile, “Disciple, did you come find me, your master, for something?”

Qi Shaorong looked at Hu Feng and took off his gloves.

Upon seeing the mark on Qi Shaorong's hand, Hu Feng suddenly opened his eyes up wide and said, “This mark! Why are you tainted with this thing, since when have you had this on your hand!”

“After fighting against Zhuang Hao in the secret realm,” said Qi Shaorong.

Hu Feng raised his eyebrows and said, “How could this be? If we'd known earlier, you should have just directly knocked Zhuang Hao out!”

Qi Shaorong looked at Hu Feng and said, “Master, what exactly is this mark?”

Hu Feng twisted his eyebrows, glanced at Qi Shaorong, and said, “Disciple, you know that humans and monster beasts can form a contract. In fact, a contract can also be formed between people. The contracts between people can be sorted into two types.”

“What two types?”

“One is a master-servant contract, which means that one party has to submit themselves under the rule of the other. The other type is a mutually beneficial contract between equals. This kind of contract can also be called a marriage contract. If this contract is changed into a marriage contract, then……”

“So what's the type? Do I have to marry Zhuang Hao?” Qi Shaorong asked.

Hu Feng rubbed his nose and said, “If a marriage contract is formed, then when going up against an enemy, the tacit agreement between the two people would increase exponentially. Also, this type of contract would be beneficial for dual cultivation. Disciple, I've heard that you and Zhuang Hao were engaged.”

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "Master, everything that you know and have heard are old news from eight-hundred years ago. Zhuang Hao had already broken off the engagement a long time ago.”

Hu Feng looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Really? I've heard that Zhuang Hao's always entangled with you.”

Qi Shaorong: “…”

“Zhuang Hao likes the Ghost Doctor, and I also like the Ghost Doctor. We are rivals in love.” Qi Shaorong said.

Hu Feng looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “You and Zhuang Hao are love rivals?”

Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Disciple, the students of our Tianlan College, must all strive to do their best in everything they do. They can't show weaknesses for affairs of love either. Although a love rival like Zhuang Hao isn't easy to deal with, you still can't show any weakness. You must do all you can to pursue your goals, until you've caught the Ghost Doctor, do you understand?” Hu Fengyi said sternly, with a sense of justice.

Qi Shaorong: “… I understand."

“Disciple, I've heard that this Ghost Doctor is very shady! He seems to be very rich, he's a good match!” Hu Feng said.

Qi Shaorong: “…”

“As for my contract, how does Master plan on dealing with it?” Qi Shaorong asked.

Hu Feng thought about it and said, “Let me see if I can find a way to get rid of it directly. If it can't be done, then there's nothing else we can do. I can go capture Zhuang Hao, bring him here, and force him to release the contract for you.”

Qi Shaorong's eyes widened and said, “Master, Zhuang Hao's grandfather is a level ten magic saint!”

Hu Feng nodded and said, “Yes! However, that magic saint has gone out to travel all over the land, so we don't have to worry about him for now.”

Qi Shaorong: “…” His master was really lawless and out of control, but the old man's suggestions were still very constructive.

“Does this mark have any effect on you?” Hu Feng asked.

Qi Shaorong pursed his lips and said, “There isn't too much of an effect on me for the time being. However, when Zhuang Hao speaks, there'll be a voice in my subconsciousness making me want to comply with him.” However, this voice was still very weak, so it didn't really affect him that much.

Hu Feng shook his head and said, “Look at the type, Zhuang Hao's potential to control beasts is really powerful! If not, then he wouldn't be able to contract people as well.”

Qi Shaorong looked at Hu Feng and said, “Master, are you trying to grow his ambition now and destroy your own prestige?”

Hu Feng: “…”

Hu Feng rubbed his hands together and said, “If we want to capture Zhuang Hao, then we'll have to do it as soon as possible. If that kid advances to the eighth level, it'll be difficult to get him. Then at that time, I might not necessarily be able to catch him.”

Qi Shaorong: “…”

“Young Master, you're back, what did the Principal say!” Qi Heng asked.

Qi Shaorong shook his head and said, “That damned old man, we don't have any ideas for the time being. If it doesn't work out, then in the end I'll still have to go look for Zhuang Hao.”

Qi Heng shrugged and said, “Master, actually, asking Zhuang Hao isn't that big of a deal!”

Qi Shaorong glanced at Qi Heng and said, “It's not that big of a deal? How is asking Zhuang Hao not a big deal? If I fall to the point where I have to go ask Zhuang Hao that little imp for his generosity, then that would really be too embarrassing!

“Young Master, you're younger than him!” Qi Heng said.

Qi Shaorong snorted softly and said, “How could that be, the Ghost Doctor is already seventy years-old.”

“That's just your nonsense.” Qi Heng said.

Qi Shaorong: “…”

“Young Master, Yi Fan encountered an assassination yesterday!” Qi Heng's expression became a little more serious.

Qi Shaorong tapped his fingers on the table, “Oh, it looks like Yang Man couldn't hold back, she still made a move in the end.”

“Yi Fan dealt with it very cleanly,” said Qi Heng.

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, “I trust in Fan's actions, but Yang Man will be suspicious if her person doesn't return.”

Qi Heng nodded and said, “Right!”

Qi Shaorong pouted his lips and said, “However, it's really nothing much. Yi Huo and Yi Bing have both become wastes, so Yang Man, that woman, has less power in her hands to use now. Yi Fan should be able to cope with those people who follow Yang Man's orders.”
