บท 1312: Furnace Citadel

The cafeteria.

Xia Fei waited for Pod and Avril to prepare him dinner, as he toyed with a black ring in his hand. Before Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng left the study, he had given Xia Fei this ring. He told him that this was the only item that could prove his identity.

Sure enough, Xia Gucheng did have a heart-wrenching history. When he was just a baby, Xia Gucheng was found floating across space on an escape pod by a passing merchant ship; they rescued him, and he was subsequently raised by the captain.

From a young age, Xia Gucheng had demonstrated talent in combat; it was just a pity that his adoptive parents were just common merchants and had been unable to give him more help on that front. The man had to carve a path all by himself to get to where he was today!

Xia Fei kept that ring away and lit a cigarette.
