My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading-Chapter 297: Entering The Inner City

Qin Cai's five subordinates left, while Qin Cai, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun's wife were escorted to prison. Truth be told, Xiao Yun's wife likely wouldn't face a harsh sentence. Although she had known of her husband's misdeeds, she hadn't taken part in them. At most, she might receive a light sentence—or perhaps none at all.

As for the recording orbs, which had been taken by Lu Bao's subordinates, they were sent for analysis. Investigations would be carried out based on the evidence they contained. With more than twenty orbs in total, Feng Fan was certain that many individuals would end up behind bars—or dead, given that treason here seemed to carry a far harsher punishment.

That is, of course, if he could ensure the evidence didn't conveniently vanish. After all, Qin Cai had already dispatched people to make the evidence—or at least part of it—disappear.

"Young Friend Feng," said Lu Bao, a faint smile adorning his face. "There's much I'd like to discuss with you, particularly regarding the Array Dao. I wonder if you have some time to spare?"

"Senior Lu, I'd be honored. However, I still have some matters to attend to," Feng Fan replied promptly. Though he was eager to obtain the information he came to Yellow Leaf for, he first needed to deal with Qin Cai and ensure that he won his little bet.

Lu Bao nodded before retrieving a small token from his space ring and handing it to Feng Fan. "This is my personal token. You can use it to enter the inner city and find me. When I'm not working, I'm usually at my residence. I'll be waiting for your visit, Young Friend Feng."

With those parting words, Lu Bao turned and left, leaving Feng Fan, Su Xiaoli, Xue Qiang, and Huang Xue standing outside Xiao Yun's house.

"Since we're already inside the city, why don't we find a place to stay for now?" Feng Fan said, turning to the girls.

They nodded in agreement. Though they wanted to ask about his bet with Qin Cai, they decided to save their questions for later. The four of them flew farther from the inner city, searching for an inn. It didn't take long to find one. Given the steady stream of people entering and leaving Seven Heavens City each day, the area was full of inns to meet that demand.

Feng Fan didn't feel like splitting up their small group of four, so he arranged a room with two double beds. The price wasn't exactly cheap, but with his current fortune, it was hardly a concern—ten mid-grade qi stones for a day

"Fenfen, how exactly did you know about those projection orbs?"

After settling into the room, Xue Qiang was the first to ask the question that had been on all their minds.

Su Xiaoli and Huang Xue turned to Feng Fan as well, their eyes filled with curiosity. Feng Fan responded with a faint smile. Could he really tell them he could read minds? If they knew he'd been peeking into their private thoughts, they'd probably be furious.

He'd rather die than admit that. Unfortunately, he didn't have a good excuse either, so he simply shrugged

"I have my ways," he said.

When a lie wouldn't cut it, a vague answer was the next best thing. Of course, his answer was the same as not answering at all.

Xue Qiang frowned at his answer; she definitely didn't like it. But before she could protest, Feng Fan cut her off.

"I need to step out for a bit to make sure that law enforcer doesn't send people to tamper with the evidence. After that, I'll meet with Lu Bao to gather information for the battle for a seat on the Intergalactic Council. Why don't you three take the chance to explore the city?"

Feng Fan didn't wait for an answer, and just like that, he was gone, leaving the girls behind.

Xue Qiang looked the most frustrated. "He's hiding something from me…" she muttered, her annoyance growing. It was already frustrating enough that he had taken not just her but two other women as well, now he was keeping secrets too? How could she accept that?

"You're right, Sister Qiang, but it seems he won't be telling us anytime soon… So, why don't we teach him a lesson?" Su Xiaoli suggested, a sly grin spreading across her face.

Her words instantly caught the attention of both Xue Qiang and Huang Xue. Though Huang Xue wasn't particularly interested in prying into Feng Fan's secrets, she enjoyed spending time with the other two. Making friends had always been difficult for her, but somehow, these two were starting to accept her.

Plotting revenge together against the man they all liked. Wasn't that… exactly the kind of thing friends were supposed to do together?

—

Feng Fan, oblivious to the girls' conversation, calmly made his way toward the inner city. Before the officials carrying the projection orbs had left Xiao Yun's house, he had already shrunk the Suppression Relic to its smallest size and discreetly sent it to trail them.

'Who would've thought this token would come in handy so soon?' he mused, glancing at the badge Lu Bao had given him to grant access to the inner city. 'Then again, even without it, I could've slipped past the city's array without anyone noticing.'

With Feng Fan's mastery over the Array Dao, no formation in the mortal realm was worthy of concern.

Standing before one of the gates leading directly into the inner city, Feng Fan showed his token to a guard. After a brief inspection, the guard nodded and allowed him through.

Once inside, Feng Fan made his way toward a secluded alley. There, he moved his fingers slowly, casting an illusion array that cloaked his presence from sight.

To ensure he wouldn't be detected, he took the time to construct a tier 7 array, powerful enough to make himself undetected by most. While a tier 8 array would offer even greater concealment, creating one would take considerably longer, and Feng Fan didn't think it was necessary.
