Chapter 1459: Chapter 573 Dream One

By the time Yan Fei finished reviewing this flawless accounting report, Lu Pingping casually walked into his office and sat down opposite him.

Lu Pingping said, “Fei, you must be satisfied with Dream Island’s achievements last year, right?”

Yan Fei said with admiration, “Indeed, very good, I’m very satisfied. I was not mistaken in people; under your leadership, Dream Island has achieved unprecedented excellent results.”

Lu Pingping said, “I’m glad you’re pleased, but it’s mainly because Dream Island itself is extremely powerful, plus your unconditional support for me. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve such great results.”

Suddenly, Lu Pingping said, “Fei, New Year’s Day has passed, and Domestic’s Zhendan University is preparing to hold an Alumni Association. They plan to invite outstanding students who graduated from Zhendan University back to the school to share some life experiences with their juniors and sophomores during an exchange event among these talented individuals. They have also sent us an invitation to attend.”

Seeing Lu Pingping reporting the status of the Alumni Association as if it had nothing to do with her personally brought Yan Fei’s joy to an abrupt halt, and instead, he felt uncomfortable.

In fact, Yan Fei was well aware of how this Alumni Association came about; initially, there was no plan for Zhendan University to hold an Alumni Association. However, through her father’s influence, Lu Pingping quietly persuaded a few leaders of Zhendan University, who continually whispered in the ears of the current president of Zhendan University. They pointed out that Zhendan University was slipping in the Domestic university rankings, so it was necessary to host an Alumni Association, inviting outstanding graduates to give talks at the school, which would not only increase the fame of Zhendan University but also possibly secure donations from those graduates.

Looking at Zhendan University’s graduates over the past few years, no one was more successful than Yan Fei and Lu Pingping from Dream Island. If Zhendan University could invite them back, it would be a huge success for the school. Just one lecture given by Yan Fei or Lu Pingping at Zhendan University would significantly boost the school’s fame.

Stirred by these people, the president of Zhendan University got excited, as he also saw the great benefits of holding this Alumni Association for himself. Therefore, he immediately made the decision to hastily organize this Zhen Dan University Alumni Association event. And the first invitation they sent out was to Yan Fei and Lu Pingping of Dream Island.

During her time travel, Lu Pingping had buried a Stone Stele covered with prophetic text in the campus of past Zhendan University. To have Yan Fei naturally discover this Prophecy Stone Tablet, she carefully planned this Alumni Association event, intending to invite Yan Fei back to the campus of Zhendan University. Only after Yan Fei discovered the stone tablet and its exceptional nature, would Lu Pingping be able to talk to him and clear up the misunderstandings in his mind.

What Lu Pingping didn’t know was that Yan Fei had long been aware of her plans, and he had removed the Prophecy Stone Tablet she had buried and turned it into the final Upgrade Essential Item needed for the Drone. So no matter what Lu Pingping did now, she wouldn’t be able to let Yan Fei see that stone tablet again.

Knowing the actual reason behind the misunderstanding between him and Lu Pingping, Yan Fei was touched by Lu Pingping’s perseverance. He rekindled his love for Pingping and wished to be with her again. Even in the moment when he brought Lu Pingping into the Dreamland Cave World, he wanted to clear up their misunderstandings, but he held back and didn’t act on it.

Because Yan Fei realized that even after gaining the Divine Power akin to that of gods from the Dreamland Cave World, he still lacked the confidence to defeat the mastermind in the outside world.

Once Yan Fei and Lu Pingping got together, the mastermind would discover that Lu Pingping was truly Yan Fei’s vulnerability, and they would surely use her to force Yan Fei into a pawn-like progression. The mastermind might even sacrifice Lu Pingping for their purposes, and with their god-like power in the outside world, Lu Pingping could not escape death.

The newly emerged Xia Fan was no simple character either; she seemed frail and harmless, yet she possessed amazing items capable of withstanding the attack of an energy cannon. She also controlled a fanatical fanbase–though small in number, they wielded significant influence in society and were willing to do anything for her, making Xia Fan equally dangerous.

The problem was that Xia Fan also fancied Yan Fei and had openly expressed her love for him, viewing Lu Pingping as a romantic rival. If Yan Fei and Lu Pingping truly got together, Xia Fan might lash out in desperation, and Lu Pingping could face a life-threatening danger.

Yan Fei being with Lu Pingping now might seem like a perfect ending with lovers finally united, but it could bring negative consequences, or even worse, directly threaten Lu Pingping’s life, which would be tremendously unfair to her.

Hence Yan Fei had been accumulating power all this time, intending to quickly eliminate the mastermind. Only with the disappearance of the mastermind, and thus the disappearance of Xia Fan, the substitute arranged by the mastermind, would Lu Pingping truly be safe, and Yan Fei be able to be with her.
