"Second Brother, they've been inside for so long and still haven't come out. I'm already hungry."
Ba Hu complained.
On the roof of the building nearest to the Imperial Banquet.
Three people were sitting on the roof; Little White Rabbit was peeking around, staring intently at the Imperial Banquet hotel below.
Little White Rabbit turned her head upon hearing this, glanced over, and then turned away. She disliked the reckless Ba Hu, but deep in her heart, she loved Mad Bull.
In her heart, only Mad Bull was worthy of being their leader.
Mole was not ranked first because he was resourceful, but because Mad Bull couldn't be bothered to compete with him. Among the Twelve Zodiacs, other than Heavenly Dragon and Mad Bull who possessed innate talents, everyone else was quite ordinary.
The Clown Gang had only been established for a few years. Their leader, Clown Emperor, was a believer of the Lord in Yellow; his strength was terrifying, and he was temperamental.
Working under him, if something displeased him, one would be killed on a whim. However, if any of the Twelve Zodiacs died, their vacancy would be filled by a newcomer.
Only Little White Rabbit knew that Mad Bull was the longest-serving member of the Twelve Zodiacs. He was steady in his actions, meticulous in his thinking, and most importantly, he possessed a talent that allowed him to discern good and bad fortune.
Therefore, he never failed in anything he did!
"Don't be impatient, Ba Hu!"
"My intuition tells me that now is not a good time to act; success is basically impossible. Let's find an opportunity tonight."
The tall and powerful Mad Bull in front of them said in a muffled voice.
Mad Bull was just his title; it didn't mean he was brainless. On the contrary, he liked to plan.
"But..."
Ba Hu was somewhat impatient.
"No buts! Ba Hu, don't forget how Ugly Emperor arranged things when we left. If the task isn't done well, the consequences will be worse than death!"
Little White Rabbit, lying on the edge of the roof, threatened when she saw Ba Hu ignoring Mad Bull's orders.
"Hmph, you two are as timid as mice. I can't be bothered to talk anymore. Notify me when it's time to act; I feel miserable if I don't have anything to do for even a minute."
Ba Hu let out a cold snort. A large number of tentacles appeared on his body, pale yellow mist rose from the ground, and eerie whispers came from the void, making people feel chaotic and insane. When the mist dissipated, he had already vanished.
"Brother Niu, Ba Hu is going too far. He doesn't put you, the leader, in his eyes at all!"
Little White Rabbit said in a low voice, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Mad Bull waved his hand, not caring at all.
"He has the strength, so naturally, he doesn't look at others. Besides, I'm already satisfied with this personality of his, unlike Heavenly Dragon, who looks down on everyone in the world all day long!"
There had been several opportunities to act today, but he hadn't made a move because every time he thought about acting, his heart would sound a frantic warning. He suspected that someone might be protecting Ye Feng from the shadows.
"Let's go, Little White. He killed Mole, and he has our Church's mark on him. He can't run away anyway; now is not the time to act!"
Little White Rabbit nodded upon hearing this, chanted a spell, and with a similar burst of mist, the two of them also disappeared.
The roof returned to peace, as if no one had ever been there.
Imperial Banquet, second-floor luxury private room.
From their conversation, it was known that the female principal was named Liu Jia, a member of the famous Liu Family in the JA District. The Liu Family had been developing in the JA District for many years and mainly worshipped the God of Justice and Courage.
Wherever there are people, there is a society. Her status in the family was clearly not high, otherwise, she wouldn't need to look for investors.
Ye Feng, Wang Lei, and Liu Jia were chatting happily. He had originally come from a corporate background and didn't lack communication skills. Since he was here to invest, the two of them were naturally fawning over him.
"Hello?"
Liu Jia waved her hand at Ye Feng to apologize.
"Principal, the event has been arranged, the venue layout is complete, the students have been mobilized, and twelve thousand students have signed up!"
The person on the other end of the phone said.
"Good, I understand."
Liu Jia hung up the phone and looked at Ye Feng with an inquiring gaze.
Ye Feng understood what she meant; she was asking if he had finished eating, so he nodded.
The three of them stood up and left the table.
..
Before long, the three of them arrived at the university gate.
Ye Feng looked at the scene before him and was very satisfied; this setup was done with great care.
Huge banners were posted at the school gate, written with "Recruiting Believers." Balloons were hung everywhere, and wooden boards were placed on the ground, all detailing the deeds and powerful abilities of the Pure White Maiden.
Some were obviously fabricated; even Ye Feng himself didn't know he had those abilities.
The school was packed with people, as if they had given all the students a holiday specifically for this event.
At the gate, Principal Liu and Principal Wang invited Ye Feng to join them, but because the event hadn't started yet and Ye Feng didn't want to be too conspicuous, he could take this time to look around the campus to see if there were any suitable believers!
The two didn't insist, mainly because they were busy. Having received the money, they were afraid the event wouldn't go well, so they exchanged greetings and left together.
Ye Feng strolled through the campus, following the flow of people, scanning the nearby students with his divine sense to check their talents, but unfortunately, the results were unsatisfactory.
He expanded the range of his divine sense to cover the entire school. Heaven rewards the diligent; his heart fluctuated instantly. This was the reaction he would only have when he found someone compatible with Pure White. There were two such signals in total.
He looked toward the one closer to him.
His vision shifted.
On the playground.
A woman was bad-mouthing another woman.
The girl being talked about was the one who triggered his reaction.
"Bai Jie, are you trying to join the Pure White Church so you can surpass me later?"
"Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
The woman in the purple dress looked pure, with large, watery eyes, appearing innocent and well-behaved.
Standing beside her was a boy who looked unremarkable, followed by several of his subordinates.
The woman who was being scolded raised her head.
She had a melon-seed face, a pair of affectionate Peach Blossom Eyes, a face like peach blossoms, and skin like congealed fat.
However, her face was covered in black lines, and the black lines twisted from time to time, ruining all her beauty, giving her entire face a strange appearance.
But Ye Feng knew that this was merely Contamination. To him, all it would take was one Purification to restore her to her original state.
"Young Master Liu, Bai Jie is threatening me!"
The pure-looking girl in purple was very beautiful; she pouted her lips and looked at the Young Master Liu in front of her.
Young Master Liu looked imposing but was very overbearing.
"We've been good to you, why would you want to leave our big family?"
"Bai Jie, you'd better honestly admit your mistake and stop dreaming about joining the Pure White Church. I can have my uncle treat your Contamination, and you'll be able to hold your head high again!"
He looked Bai Jie up and down and said.
Bai Jie lowered her head and remained silent.
Ye Feng watched this scene, his heart burning with rage. With a single thought, his figure vanished instantly into the crowd.
The next moment, a faint White Mist rose.
He had quietly arrived beside them, and they hadn't even noticed.
"Stop!"
Ye Feng looked at the students before him, not expecting them to treat their classmate this way.
The only difference between them and the Old Ones was that they didn't have enough strength; otherwise, they would definitely be doing evil.
Young Master Liu was excitedly talking about Bai Jie when he was interrupted by Ye Feng, and his anger soared.
"Who are you? You look so unfamiliar, yet you dare to meddle in my, Liu Chuanfeng's, business!"
"Do you know that the principal is my aunt? The famous Liu Family in the JA District is my family! You actually dare to provoke me!"
Generally, when Liu Chuanfeng brought up his background, others would just slink away; no one dared to offend him.
But today, he had run into a tough nut to crack!
Ye Feng couldn't be bothered to waste words with them. With a flicker of his figure, *slap, slap, slap, slap*, he landed several heavy slaps on the faces of this group, knocking them all to the ground, looking completely bewildered.
"Ouch, ouch! Kid, I don't care what your background is, you're dead this time! I only said a few words to Bai Jie, and you actually dared to hit me!"
Liu Chuanfeng, rolling on the ground, didn't forget to threaten him.
The others were all lying on the ground playing dead. They weren't fools; since Liu Chuanfeng had already announced his name and still got beaten, it meant the other party probably wasn't afraid of him at all, so how could they dare to speak?
"Let's go, go participate in the Pure White Maiden's recruitment. The God will protect you!"
Ye Feng looked at the dirty Bai Jie with a gentle expression.
Bai Jie looked up at the handsome boy who looked like a god of war before her, her eyes shining with brilliance. But remembering the black lines on her face, she was afraid of scaring Ye Feng and quickly lowered her head again.
She bowed to thank Ye Feng, then turned and walked away.
