Chapter 971: Chapter 963: Realization

It was as if something inside his body had been ignited, a curiosity towards danger. If he were just an ordinary doctor, he would never have chosen to enter the prison, living this kind of life now.

"You’ve changed," Liu Rui said to Xiao Yifei when it was just the two of them.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yifei was somewhat unresponsive.

"Haven’t you noticed that you’re increasingly enjoying this kind of life now?" Liu Rui asked.

Xiao Yifei didn’t speak, he began to recall all the things that had happened in recent days. When he first chose to enter the prison, there was indeed a bit of impulsiveness involved. After just entering, he had some regrets—the days in prison were tough, not to mention the uncertainty of when he could leave—with the constant danger of losing his life.

But ever since he met up with Liu Rui, he stopped worrying about these problems. And Liu Rui was right; he seemed to be increasingly enjoying this kind of life, genuinely liking those few people, enjoying their banter, and even liked wandering around every day, learning about the prison’s situation.

For the things about to happen, he had a faint sense of anticipation, not knowing what would occur, but every time he thought about it, he felt a bit excited.

"I’ve changed a bit, I can feel it myself. I do indeed like this kind of life." Xiao Yifei admitted.

"You always were meant for this kind of life." Liu Rui said casually.

Perhaps, Xiao Yifei thought, everyone has fantasized about what kind of life they would lead in the future. He suddenly realized that the reason he hadn’t pursued anything in life before was because those weren’t the kind of lives he truly wanted. Although being a doctor was a profession he liked, he preferred to treat people in places like the battlefield.

This showed that, deep down, he was still someone unwilling to accept an ordinary life; he longed for a kind of exciting life. And this deep-seated desire was only released and fulfilled after he met Liu Rui, who was truly the person who changed him.

It turned out the information they received was quite reliable; those three factions really launched an attack at midnight. However, Xiao Yifei and his group did not sit idle; they secretly leaked the information to Bai Long.

When Bai Long received this anonymous letter, he didn’t take its contents to heart, because he was quite confident in his own strength. It wasn’t just those three factions; even if three more came along, he’d find it manageable, so he thought they could come if they dared.

Still, Bai Long developed a great interest in the person behind the anonymous letter. The saying that words reflect the person wasn’t unfounded. From the letter’s handwriting, it appeared to be written by a man, probably someone who practiced calligraphy from a young age. Yet, each stroke was controlled and restrained, showing no sign of aggression, suggesting the writer likely had a gentle disposition.

Bai Long hadn’t expected that there would be such a person within this prison. If there was a chance to meet him in the future, he genuinely wanted to pay a visit.

Because Bai Long himself hadn’t read much, he had very complex feelings towards academics. On one hand, he somewhat disliked them, feeling they acted pretentious and flaunted things unknown to others. On the other hand, he deeply longed to be like such a person himself.

Unfortunately, his childhood time was entirely spent practicing martial arts. When he grew up and wanted to add a bit of scholarly air to himself, he couldn’t get into reading anymore. He recognized the characters, but when put together, he couldn’t understand their meanings, leading to a longstanding regret. noveldrama

Before going to bed, Bai Long specifically instructed the night guards to be extra alert and report at any sign of trouble.

Actually, Bai Long’s side had long prepared corresponding plans. He wasn’t foolish about what the other three factions intended to do; he was aware, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been successfully leading for years. In such situations, the biggest taboo would be to alert the enemy prematurely, so Bai Long’s side pretended to be completely unaware.

In the middle of the night, a real storm of bloodshed arrived. The three factions surrounded Bai Long’s location from three directions, thinking they were catching Bai Long’s people off guard in their sleep. After eliminating a few guards, they boldly proceeded inside, only to find the rooms completely empty with no people.

Yet, they hadn’t seen Bai Long’s people leaving earlier. The scout they sent reported everything was fine before the action, leading them here confidently. Could Bai Long have played the empty city strategy on us?

The leader summoned the scout and asked, "Didn’t you report everything was normal? What’s going on now?" Angrily, he kicked the scout.

This made one person beside him unhappy. That person was his subordinate. Although they were in a cooperative relationship now, treating his subordinate like this was clearly disrespecting him!

So he said, "I already thought your plan was unfeasible. Now that there’s a problem, you blame my man. Are you deliberately opposing me?"

The other leader saw the two were about to argue but didn’t intervene. He thought that it was better that way; if they fought, he’d gain some advantage.

Anyway, all three of them harbored secret agendas. Now something had gone wrong, and they’d completely forgotten their purpose for coming here. Just at that moment, many people suddenly rushed out from all corners and attacked them.

The faction members here were watching their leaders argue, completely unaware of the impending danger. Before some even realized what was happening, they had already fallen to the ground.

However, the overall strength of both sides was now balanced. Bai Long’s side excelled in taking advantage of surprise, achieving the effect of catching them off guard.

The three factions had superior numbers, nearly triple Bai Long’s, so it was unclear who would prevail for the moment.

Xiao Yifei and his group hid at a distance, observing the battle. Maybe due to the night, Xiao Yifei felt this scene had an eerie atmosphere.

Gradually, the balanced situation began to change. Bai Long’s side had fewer and fewer capable fighters, while the other side yelled loudly, "Bai Long, if you have the guts, come out and fight for yourself. Hiding behind, what kind of hero are you?"

Liu Rui heard these words too.

Finally, someone stepped out from the shadows. A gust of wind blew, stirring the fallen leaves on the ground, and Bai Long emerged, standing ten meters away from them, without saying a word.

No one on this side dared to step forward. Among them, none had ever faced Bai Long; he was like an unattainable figure. They knew Bai Long was formidable, but had never witnessed it firsthand, so they were intimidated.
