Chapter 325: Unspeakable Matters
"If I did something unspeakable with your daughter here... Well, it's called unspeakable for a reason, right? How could I tell you?"
Xiang Beifei simply didn't know how to ridicule this person.
Xi Keyao timidly said, "Xiang Beifei, my father didn't lay a hand on you, did he?"
"No," Xiang Beifei shook his head.
"I'm sorry, he can be very annoying; you don't need to take those words to heart," Xi Keyao whispered.
"It's okay."
Xiang Beifei turned his head and observed Xi Keyao.
Today, Xi Keyao wore a light blue jacket and a pair of proper khaki casual pants, looking like a very quiet girl. Standing there, she fiddled with her fingers uneasily and stole glances at Xiang Beifei. When she noticed Xiang Beifei was also looking at her, her face turned red again.
"Why is Xiang Beifei looking at me like that?"
Xi Keyao felt very shy and sat on the bed in the room. But soon, she remembered the words her father mentioned before he left, and thinking that this was the hotel bed her father slept in, she quickly stood up and moved to a chair on the side. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"It's just the two of us in the room; I can only look at you," Xiang Beifei said.
"Oh, I see," Xi Keyao muttered.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and the room fell into an awkward silence.
Xiang Beifei, however, was contemplating the Pioneer Stone that his father had left behind.
The incomplete information from the Pioneer Stone had mentioned a term:
[Shixi Text]
At the time, he couldn't be too sure about this term, thinking it was some kind of script, until he saw Xi Wenxuan. Then he realized, it obviously meant [knowing Xi Wenxuan].
So why did his old man leave this term in the Pioneer Stone?
Was it just to remind him of the engagement?
Or was there another reason?
Earlier, Xi Wenxuan spouted a bunch of incomprehensible words. Xiang Beifei appeared to be waiting calmly for him to finish speaking, but in reality, he had been checking Xi Wenxuan's past system logs all along.
The Composed System of Xi Wenxuan was indeed very odd, adding countless trivial matters on a regular basis with innumerable system logs. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as Elder Luo, who would log every tiny incident.
Despite this, Xiang Beifei successfully found the incident from five years ago.
[July 16, 3026, Xiang Tianxing killed a desolate beast Dang Kang in front of you with composure, composure value +81]
[July 16, 3026, please host maintain your composure, don't panic!]
[July 16, 3026, please host maintain your composure, don't let your emotions get the best of you!]
[July 16, 3026, Xiang Tianxing and his wife chose to continue their journey with composure, composure value +97]
…
The desolate beast Dang Kang!
It was the same as with Kong Daming, meaning that when Xi Wenxuan went on a mission to the Northern District of the Essential Domain, he was definitely there!
That meant he was involved in that mission.
However, whatever happened during the mission, Xi Wenxuan's system logs did not detail it since the logs have their own way of recording, and irrelevant things would not be logged.
The only inference that could be made was that Xi Wenxuan must have been greatly agitated back then and couldn't keep his composure, leading to the system's reminders.
Five years ago, Xi Wenxuan's cultivation had reached the intermediate stage of Meridian Opening! Yet, he still panicked. What was the cause of such alarm?
Xiang Beifei didn't understand, so he revisited Xi Wenxuan's system logs from other periods.
[July 29, 3026, please host maintain your composure, don't let your emotions get the best of you!]
[July 30, 3026, please host maintain your composure, don't let your emotions get the best of you!]
…
During these days, Xi Wenxuan could hardly maintain his composure, and the logs were filled with various system prompts. He didn't complete a single system task, and this went on for an entire month.
And according to Kong Daming's system logs, these days coincided with Xiang Tianxing's misfortune. During those days, Kong Daming was continuously searching for Xiang Tianxing. Xiang Beifei didn't know who went with him because Kong Daming's actions were classified.

But it was quite apparent that Xi Wenxuan should be one of them!
[August 21, 3026, you found "Unrestrained" in a composed manner based on the clues left by Xiang Tianxing, composure value +28]
[August 21, 3026, Qin Hongyi answered your question in a composed manner, composure value +23]
When Xiang Beifei saw the three words "Qin Hongyi," his expression became rather grave!
Xi Wenxuan actually knew Qin Hongyi!
In 3026, Xi Wenxuan had gone to find Qin Hongyi, yet the fact was that records showed Qin Hongyi had died in 3024!
So, did Xi Wenxuan always know that Qin Hongyi was actually still alive?
Xiang Beifei couldn't help but ponder the relationships involved.
Also, what does it mean to find "Unrestrained"?

Seeing Xiang Beifei deep in thought with his head bowed, Xi Keyao timidly asked, "Xiang Beifei, are you still angry with my dad?"
Xiang Beifei came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, I'm just thinking about other things."
After a while, Xiang Beifei added, "Sorry, I didn't know you came to Liangzhou University because of me."
"It was my dad who insisted I go," mumbled Xi Keyao.
"So did you choose the Martial Arts College because of me too?" asked Xiang Beifei.
Xi Keyao hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Yes, dad said if you chose martial arts, then I had to choose martial arts, only then would we have something in common."
Her awakened ability was an SR-rated Support with All Might System, and originally she wanted to choose the nursing major at the Liberal Arts College because she wanted to use her system's abilities to alleviate other's suffering, but her father forcibly pushed her to study martial arts.
Of course, her martial arts talent was amazing too. She had only been in a fight once since she was young, and it was when Ye Changfeng picked SR team members to team up with Xiang Beifei for a competition. That was the first time Xi Keyao fought someone, and she took down another SR.
"But Xiang Beifei, you shouldn't feel burdened. I find that martial arts can be very interesting, I gained a lot of insight acting together with you in the outer desolate lands," Xi Keyao appeared very happy.
"You really are optimistic," Xiang Beifei laughed.
"I'm learning from you," Xi Keyao said with an embarrassed smile.
"What do you think about that drunken marriage promise?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"I... I don't know," mumbled Xi Keyao.
"I thought you wanted to decide for yourself," said Xiang Beifei.
"But... marriage is decided by two people together, we have to respect each other's opinions," Xi Keyao said with her head lowered.
After a while, she asked expectantly, "What do you think, Xiang Beifei?"
"Did Uncle Xi say that you meet those criteria already?"
"He... he forced me," muttered Xi Keyao.
"But you still tried very hard to meet them, didn't you?"
"I..."
"Do you like me?" Xiang Beifei asked doubtfully.
"Ah... Ah... That..."
Xi Keyao's face turned as red as if it had been scorched by fire, nearly steaming.
"If you say you don't like me, I might be sad."
"No, no, I didn't say I don't like... "
"So that means you do like me," Xiang Beifei said.
"Ah..."
Xi Keyao, her face and ears crimson with embarrassment from what Xiang Beifei had said, covered her face, no longer able to sit still, and thought about dashing outside; but upon reaching the door, she realized her father had already sealed off the place.
"Your dad welded the door shut; stop struggling, neither of us can leave," said Xiang Beifei calmly.
This was a Spiritual Power seal of a God Refining advanced practitioner, and he was at a loss.
