Union will be mocked by others.
As such, the president of the Union told me that he wishes to give you the ranking of a Diamond Adjudicator.
Any thoughts?”

A Diamond Adjudicator was the highest title a member of the Union could obtain, holding plenty of privilege and prestige.
It could be seen that the conditions the Adjudicator Union had set for him were not low.

Xia Fei shook his head.
“There’s no need for that.
It’s just a title.
Besides, I didn’t sign any agreement back when I was in Heaven Execution Training Camp, and the reason for that is I don’t want to be bound to anyone via a contract.
I still hold true to my past mentality, and I plan to leave the Adjudicator Union with this return of mine.”

Qin Mang laughed out loud.
“I guess that’s fine.
Even being a Diamond Adjudicator isn’t fitting for the status you now have.
They at least ought to give you a seat beside the ten old coots presiding over The Brotherhood, though it’s the oldest warrior organization and guards who knows how many secrets.
Those ten old coots are also the Union’s core members.
I’m afraid that it’s gonna take quite a bit of maneuvering before that happens.”

Xia Fei smiled.
“Old man, I’m not scorning Diamond Adjudicator because I find it not prominent enough; if I cared about my status back then, I wouldn’t care to be your librarian.
I won’t be joining anything, be it the Adjudicator Union or The Brotherhood.”

Qin Mang was stunned.
He never would have thought that Xia Fei would be so indifferent toward fame or fortune.
It ought to be stated that those ten old coots of The Brotherhood would have access to the top secrets of the Alliance, essentially on par with the military triumvirate.
A young man like Xia Fei joining The Brotherhood was practically unbelievable, and any mentally sound individual would not have rejected such an offer.

“Leaving the Adjudicator Union and not joining The Brotherhood, either?” Qin Mang lifted his head and glanced at Williams who was not far away.
“Were you perhaps thinking that the government or the military would present you with greater benefits?”

Xia Fei shook his head with that same smile.
“Old man, you should know that the Alliance has given me the Terminus Star Region, right?”

Qin Mang nodded.
“Indeed, I do.
You couldn’t be planning to run off to the Death Tri-region and be a lonely tyrant, could you? What’s so good about that impoverished place, anyway?”

Xia Fei answered lacksadiscally, “At the very least, I won’t be restrained by others.
I’ll grow some plants and the ilk, raise some birds or fish when I’m bored.
That’s a life worth living, too.”

Xia Fei knew very well that Qin Mang truly wanted to help him become a peak expert in the Alliance.
It was just that the time for that had passed, and the stage which was called the Alliance was not as attractive as before to Xia Fei, for he was now a lot more intrigued by the Three Laws and the secret world of Law Adepts.

However, he could not tell all these to Qin Mang, so the best he could do was make up some excuse.

Qin Mang laughed and patted his fat head.
“You’re making yet another unconventional choice, just like when you chose to become a librarian years back.
Everyone is thinking that you’ll make big moves and do some great things here in the Alliance with this return of yours.
Instead, you actually want to recuse yourself to the desolate Terminus Star Region—something that even I did not imagine.”

Xia Fei laughed as he bowed to Qing Mang respectfully.
“Old man, I have yet to quit the Adjudicator Union, so I’m still your little librarian.
Shall I brew you a cup of tea?”

With that, Xia Fei really got up and brewed a pot of Longjing Before Rain for Qin Mang personally.
The old man chuckled happily.
“You’ve really got quite the silver tongue, youngster.
I’m afraid that I’ll have trouble finding another underling who can brew tea as well as you do once you leave.”

“I’m afraid I may not have the chance to brew a pot of tea for you in the future, but I’ll be sure to get Charlie to send you some Longjing Before Rain every year.
Most of the tea plantations on Earth are still intact, and that in itself is quite a fortunate turn of events.”

Plenty of others were waiting to have a chat with Xia Fei, so Qin Mang did not delay for much longer.
Taking the pot of tea and walking over to Thuram, he let the others have a chance to speak to the man of the hour.

“How was it? Is the rascal Xia Fei beside himself with glee after knowing that you want to give him an esteemed spot in The Brotherhood?” Thuram was not at all courteous, taking the pot of tea from Qin Mang and pouring himself a cup.

“He rejected it.” Qin Mang sighed.

Thuram nearly spat a mouthful of tea.

“Did I hear that correctly? The ten old coots of The Brotherhood practically hold half the secret martial arts manuals and ancient civilization relics in the Alliance, governing all the warrior organizations.
How could he reject such an offer? Is he still sane?”

“What do you think?”? Qin Mang took a sip of tea and asked.

Thuram shook his head.
“No, I don’t think so.
The rascal Xia Fei is very smart.”

Qin Mang sighed.
“Years ago, when he chose to be a librarian under me, plenty of people also thought that he’s wrong in the head, but he ended up proving himself to be smarter than anyone else.
Now, his decision to retire is likely the same, except even I don’t understand the reason behind it.
I wonder what matter of importance is the lad hiding from me?”

After some time, Williams also quietly joined Qin Mang and Thuram after having a chat with Xia Fei.

“Congratulations to the both of you.
Xia Fei refused to succeed Admiral Layton, so that means the Adjudicator Union won this round.” Williams sighed.

Qin Mang and Thuram both laughed uproariously.
“To think the military would actually dangle such a huge benefit; Xia Fei hasn’t even been in command school, yet you’re willing to come up with such an idea like letting him be the chief of the Navy just like that.”

Williams chuckled politely.
“Looks like our offer isn’t high enough.”

“Actually, Xia Fei didn’t join us, either.” Thuram could not resist admitting.

“Then what does he plan to do?” Williams asked curiously.

“He plans to retire, go fishing in the Terminus Star Region that you gave him.”

*Smash!*

Williams’ expression paled, and that exquisite wine glass he held in his hand landed on the ground, shattering into pieces.

…

The sound of the shattering glass was not too loud, but the room had suddenly gone silent, which caused Williams to think that his momentary absentmindedness had caused everyone to look in his direction.

Actually, everyone had gone quiet not because of the shatter glass but because of a woman.

In the distance, Avril was making her way over, a sweet smile on her face.
