"If someone poses a problem, then the person who posed the problem will be dealt with.

That is the best way to solve problems.

After Tang Fei had dealt with Lei Zongnan and his group of Black Robes, the progress bar of devouring the Flame Shrine sped up considerably.

The first to come and report to Tang Fei was Chen Fenglei, who, after taking a tour around the Divine Palace, disdainfully told Tang Fei, "It's far inferior to the Phoenix Palace."

Tang Fei looked at him with a mix of laughter and helplessness and said, "Did you think this was New Star? It's already quite an accomplishment to have such a tall and sturdy house on Old Land that is still intact, not overrun by Mutant Beasts, and hasn't been corroded by acid rain."

"I'm aware of the situation here. I was just making a casual comparison," Chen Fenglei said with a chuckle. "I'll have the group below clean up the place so that it will be more comfortable for you when you move in."

"Just have An Ning arrange for a few people to come in and clean up; that will be fine," Tang Fei said, as he was not a fussy person.

He had lived for several years in the narrow and stuffy stone house with the old man, Little Fatty, and had never found it disagreeable.

He would often dream of that period at midnight and miss the happy life back then.

The hardships of that time didn't seem so bad; it's the present hardships that are truly unbearable.

Utterly unbearable!

"How could that be enough?" Chen Fenglei's voice became sharp, as if Tang Fei's words had touched a nerve. "They're all so clumsy, what good can they do? The place will look the same before and after their cleaning. I just can't stand it."

"Let me tell you, when it comes to serving others, it has to be someone from the palace... I've already brought people over, all of whom are old hands who have served in the Phoenix Palace for many years. Leave it to them, and they will definitely rejuvenate the Divine Palace."

"Alright, alright, I'll leave this matter to you," Tang Fei replied indifferently.

Anyway, he had no plans to reside within the Divine Palace; he would occasionally come over for meetings with them.

Could the mere Sect Hierarch of the Flame Shrine possibly hinder his progress?

Impossible.

He had far more important matters to attend to.

He intended to ascend step by step toward the stars, toward that place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

There were people there whom he longed for.

"Just wait and see; it will certainly satisfy you," said Chen Fenglei, brimming with pride.

After a pause, he asked, "How should the Divine Palace's security forces be arranged?"

Tang Fei glanced at Chen Fenglei and said, "You handle it."

"The inner guard will be Ghost's men, the outside I'll use... Ghost has too few people to station them all outside on duty..."

Tang Fei interrupted Chen Fenglei, "I said, you handle it."

After a moment's pause, Chen Fenglei bowed deeply and said, "I will not disappoint the General."

He did not follow the others in calling Tang Fei Sect Hierarch, but instead, like He Xiaohua, referred to Tang Fei as General.

The son of a General was naturally also a General.

Doing so would make it seem like he was closer to him.

"Thank you for your hard work," Tang Fei said with a smile.

Chen Fenglei hurried off to arrange matters; the vast Divine Palace needed to be cleaned and the staff rotated entirely.

The previous individuals definitely couldn't be retained—who knew what complicated relationships they might have had with Lei Zongnan?

Aside from those recommended by An Ning, such as Chen Juan, the rest were to be cleared out, not a single one left.

Thus, how to fill these vacancies, which positions required people, where guards needed to be stationed, how to organize shifts and rotation...

Fortunately, Chen Fenglei and his team were professionals.

Bai Wuxin stood behind Tang Fei, watching Chen Fenglei's retreating figure, and asked, "Do you trust him?"

"Do you think he's not trustworthy?" Tang Fei replied with a faint smile on his lips.

It was rare for Bai Wuxin to question decisions he made. If he raised such a point, it suggested he held an opposing view.

"He could betray Zhong Daolong, and he could betray you."

"Indeed," Tang Fei nodded. "But he betrayed his former master for his previous master... In that sense, isn't he a very pure person, one who remains devoted?"

Bai Wuxin did not expect Tang Fei to argue from such an unusual angle. After a brief pause, he said, "I do not feel comfortable leaving such important matters as clothing, food, shelter, and transportation in his hands."

Tang Fei turned to look at Bai Wuxin and sighed softly, "This is both trust and a test. If he can seize the opportunity, then from now on, he will be one of our own."

"Actually, he is just like us. Whether on Old Land or having gone to New Star, his options are very limited. You can even say that besides us, he has no other choice."

"Those who stand against the Shen Family should naturally be our allies. He's smart and knows what he should want."

"Besides, with you and An Ning by my side, even if he wants to pull some tricks, it won't be easy. And I will be cautious myself."

"There is a saying, 'There is no thief for a thousand days, but there is no guard against a thief for a thousand days.'"

Bai Wuxin was a cold-hearted and extreme character.

To him, untrustworthy people were useless; those he disliked were simply to be killed.

In his world, there was no middle ground.

Yet Tang Fei, as a leader, could not act in such a way.

No one is perfect, and everyone has various flaws.

By employing their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, can great things be achieved.

Someone like Chen Fenglei, who had betrayed the King, Zhong Daolong, for the Empress, Yu Sineng, could be said to be one of the main instigators in the collapse of the Zhong Royal Family.

But could someone like that truly be simply eliminated?

Leaving aside that the Beehive he brought was one of the main forces of the base, his relationship with Tang Fei was also that of a 'partner.'
