Chapter 247
“Xiaohei, he has already claimed the reward, can it still be taken?”
“Woof woof woof!”
As long as Yuchi Shen hasn’t used it, even if it’s been claimed, it can still be taken!
But the first piece of Purgatory Armor was in early August, just a few days before the entrance assessment of Liangzhou University, and when Yuchi Shen claimed it at that time, the system had already checked its value, which had nothing to do with Xiang Beifei, so Xiaohei couldn’t get the first piece of Purgatory Armor, but could take the latter two.
“Only the latter two pieces can be taken?”
Xiang Beifei pondered.
Yuchi Shen was an SR-level university professor, much smarter than most people. If something went missing, he would certainly think about what went wrong.
The second piece of Purgatory Armor was taken in mid-September, and the third piece in October, and these dates were displayed in the system. If these two pieces were both taken, Yuchi Shen would definitely wonder why only these two disappeared, leaving exactly one behind.
Yuchi Shen’s system had never encountered such a situation before, so it would be strange if this sudden incident wasn’t difficult to investigate.
Then he might notice that the time when these two pieces of Purgatory Armor were claimed was right after Xiang Beifei entered the university.
In Xiang Beifei’s view, the likelihood of Yuchi Shen suspecting him was small, since Yuchi Shen would never think that a person who had only reached the late Qi-Controlling stage had the strength to act against someone in the mid God Refining stage.
Even UR-level Awakeners, if they only had the Qi-Controlling stage of cultivation, could do nothing to an S-level Meridian Opening stage, not to mention the restraint from the system; there was still a gap in cultivation levels.
Having a higher system level only means that the Awakeners cultivate faster, not that an Awakener at the Qi-Controlling stage could ground someone in the Meridian Opening stage and rub them into the dirt; it’s impossible.
Not everyone is Xiang Beifei.
But just in case, Xiang Beifei decided to only take one piece, to reduce the chance of arousing Yuchi Shen’s suspicion.
“Just take the third piece; don’t take the second,” Xiang Beifei said.
If Yuchi Shen had only been at the Meridian Opening stage, he could have taken them freely, but with Yuchi Shen at the God Refining stage, he had to be more cautious.
After all, Yuchi Shen still has that Divine Spirit Pill worth 50 million system points!
Currently, Yuchi Shen has nearly 49 million system points; he’s roughly one million short. Once Yuchi Shen gathers the full 50 million, that’s when to consider his Divine Spirit Pill!
Before then, he would take the Purgatory Armor first; it’s only fair since Yuchi Shen made life difficult for him back then.
“Woof woof woof!”
Xiaohei indicated no problem.
Xiang Beifei didn’t linger and immediately left the teaching building.
Collecting packages should, of course, happen far from Yuchi Shen.
He quickly ran over and sat on the grass of the sports field, an area with many people, where he intended to be just another idle sunbather.
System rewards? He had no idea what that was!
Xiaohei woofed a laugh, wagging his tail, and with a flash of light, a piece of Purgatory Armor appeared in its little bubble.

At the door of Ye Changfeng’s office, Ye Changfeng was having a conversation with Yuchi Shen, whose expression was somewhat mocking, whereas Ye Changfeng did not look too pleased.
“Ye Changfeng, if Liangzhou University ends up last this year, then your precious student, Xiang Beifei, will have to take responsibility,” Yuchi Shen said with a strange laugh.
Ye Changfeng furrowed his brows and spoke up, “Take responsibility for what? What does this have to do with Xiang Beifei?”
“Whether or not it has anything to do with him is not for you to decide. You may think it’s unrelated to him, but the higher-ups at the school may not necessarily see it that way. You know this better than anyone. When he was admitted, many people had their reservations. Is that not common knowledge?”
Yuchi Shen looked at Xiang Beifei with a smirk that was not quite a smile.
But Ye Changfeng spoke calmly and firmly, “He got in through legitimate channels; did you forget the details of the entrance assessment? I thought you remembered it more vividly than I do.”
Upon hearing “entrance assessment,” Yuchi Shen’s complexion darkened, and the smile disappeared from his face.
Ye Changfeng’s words were sharp and unabashed.
For Yuchi Shen, it wasn’t a pleasant memory, even though Xiang Beifei later brought him 600 system points, which didn’t make him much happier.
That’s because Elder Luo had beaten him up.
But Yuchi Shen snickered again, saying, “Even if he got in through proper channels, what of it? Those managing Liangzhou University care about the university’s reputation, not an N-level student. Xiang Beifei’s arrival has caused quite a mess. You do understand this, right?”
“I’ve said it has nothing to do with him!” Ye Changfeng replied with a deep voice.
“Suit yourself. I’m just kindly reminding you to be clear about how to handle this matter. If you can’t satisfy those at the school, heh, you should know what kind of person Dean Wei Tong of the Martial Arts College is,” Yuchi Shen said with a strange laugh.
“So you’ve decided to side with them?” Ye Changfeng asked indifferently.
“The fact is the fact, it’s unrelated to which side I’m on. Take care of yourself,” Yuchi Shen said.
Yuchi Shen then turned and left in a leisurely manner.
Ye Changfeng leaned against the door frame, watching Yuchi Shen’s smug retreating figure, chin in hand, lost in thought.
After leaving Ye Changfeng’s office, Yuchi Shen moseyed downstairs. Something crossed his mind, and he smirked disdainfully.
Soon, he returned to his own office, sat down in his chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and casually glanced at his system interface.
But then he suddenly realized something was amiss.
Following that, Yuchi Shen shot up from his seat.
The Purgatory Armor, why are there only two pieces left?
No, he had gotten three pieces of Purgatory Armor!
