Still inside the room, Sheng Feilong was surprised about his Master's sudden outburst. She Meixiao on the other hand seemed to have already expected such a reaction and calmly spoke to Song Weihan over the Soul Communicator again. "Sir Spirit Flamingo, please calm down. Sheng Feilong is doing well. In fact, he is sitting right across from me."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Song Weihan's reply, but instead held the communicator in Sheng Feilong's direction, beckoning for him to say something. Sheng Feilong lightly nodded before taking the communicator from her hand. "Master, please calm down. Madam She is the one who helped me. She hasn't done anything bad to me."
Sheng Feilong didn't receive an answer for a while. Carefully probing, he was instantly cut of by Song Weihan. This time, aside from the audible exhaustion in his voice, it also sounded shaky; something that he had never heard from his Master. "... Is that really you, Feilong?"
Stunned by the unfamiliar tone of Song Weihan, Sheng Feilong couldn't help but smile. Lightly nodding his head, he spoke into the Soul Communicator again. "Un. I'm alright, Master."
"Thank God, ha, ha...", Song Weihan lightly replied with the same shaky voice, before he started laughing lightly. A moment later, all the exhaustion seemed to be washed away and his voice was filled with excitement. "Where are you now? You father and I will immediately come to you!"
Sheng Feilong looked at She Meixiao and gave her the Soul Communicator back after seeing the latter lightly nodding. "He's currently with us at the Daedalus headquarters north of Sterning City. The address is...", She Meixiao then gave Song Weihan the address and a few directions on how to find them best before ending the call as the latter said he'd be on his way right away.
She looked at Sheng Feilong with her usual gentle smile, which the latter returned, but internally, Sheng Feilong was now wary of her and the doctor. Although he didn't know why, Song Weihan didn't seem to be too fond of them – or their organisation which She Meixiao called Daedalus. Still, he would have to at least spend the next few hours with them as Sterning City was quite a distance away from Heaven Dou City.
Taking this as an opportunity, Sheng Feilong quickly decided to try to get a bit more information about them and this situation. Although he already knew a bit, it was better to confirm his guesses. "Madam She, thank you for calling my Master. Though, I'm a bit confused. You said this is the Daedalus headquarters? What is Daedalus? Is it an organisation you belong to?"
She Meixiao's smile grew a bit bigger, seemingly not surprised by the question as she gladly answered Sheng Feilong's question. "You've guessed right; Daedalus is an organisation and we're currently in its headquarters. Both the doctor and I are members of this organisation. As for what this organisation is and does... that's a bit complicated, but we're essentially a group of 'evil' Soul Masters, that have banded together to help others, if you will."
Sheng Feilong's pupils constricted and he immediately jumped back from his seat when She Meixiao said they were evil Soul Master. Staring at her with shock in his eyes, Sheng Feilong quickly got into a defensive posture. Still, She Meixiao remained seated on her chair, completely calm and not really bothered by his sudden display of hostility. "Calm down, calm down. We're not the kind of 'evil' Soul Masters that use occult techniques to cultivate, which you think us as; Daedalus is an organisation that provides shelter for Soul Masters with an 'evil' Spirit Essence. We're just like normal Soul Masters, it's just that our Spirit Essences are different."
Seeing Sheng Feilong still keeping his guard up, She Meixiao grinned slightly and raised her hands in defeat. "If we wanted to use you for cultivation purposes then we would've long since done so. Daedalus is an organisation to help Soul Masters who have Spirit essence with the poison, evil and dark attributes so that they don't become evil Soul Masters. We're not the bad guys, okay? If you don't believe me, you can ask your Master later; Although we prefer to act secretly, the higher ups from the Federation's government and other organisations like the Spirit Pagoda or Shrek Academy know about us."
Seeing her like this, Sheng Feilong calmed down and was actually a bit embarrassed about his own attitude, though that could be understood; His nerves were already more tha taunt because of the 100.000-years-old External Soul Bone. After lightly apologising to She Meixiao, he sat down again and continued to talk about random matters with her. Shortly after the start of their conversions, another question popped up in Sheng Feilong's head.
He was a bit nervous about how to ask and how She Meixiao would react, but he couldn't ignore this matter any longer. "Madam She, you.... you're a Titled Douluo, right? How, uhm... How may I address you?" She Meixiao giggled for a bit before calmly answering him with a smile. "My title is Smiling Snake. Smiling Snake Douluo, She Meixiao. But you can just call me Madam She as you've done until now, there's no need to cling to formalities. But don't you dare call me Senior. I'm not that old."
After a while, she excused herself for a moment to make a few calls. Quickly informing a few guards and other members of Daedalus that they shouldn't block Song Weihan and asking them to lead him to her when he arrives. Like that, there shouldn't be any problems, although it will still take a few hours for Song Weihan to reach them.
At the same time, at another place; Song Weihan and Sheng Lingtian were frantically flying through the sky at breakneck speed. They were heading to Sterning City in order to find Sheng Feilong. Although both of them should rather remain in bed as they're still injured from the battle at Shrek Academy, they honestly couldn't care less at this point. Even with Song Weihan's speed as a Titled Douluo, it still took them more than four hours to finally get there.
With Song Weihan leading the way according to She Meixiao's directions, they quickly found Daedalus' Headquarters a few minutes later. But upon arrival, Song Weihan and Sheng Lingtian were confused at first. Quickly checking back with the instructions he had obtained, Song Weihan confirmed that they were indeed in the same place and they were soon greeted by a member of Daedalus who respectfully invited the two of them in.
Surprisingly, their headquarters wasn't any grand building or institution like Shrek Academy or the Spirit Pagoda. Instead, they choose to go with the look of an inconspicuous small village in a relatively secluded place. Although looking like a small village, all of the buildings there were highly secure and equipped with the best security systems and other technology. Moreover, the actual headquarters was inside the 'village hall' and underground at that!
After going through a quick screening, they were led through a few corridors and arrived at the medical ward. Upon reaching there, another member of Daedalus led them further down the hallway and stopped in front of a simple door. Lightly knocking at the door, he announced the arrival of Song Weihan and Sheng Lingtian and they were invited in soon, before the man who led them here took his leave.
Inside the room, Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao were happily playing cards. The doctor had already left as he had to take care of other patients, so it was only the two of them. After some time they had gotten bored of just talking, but as Sheng Feilong wasn't allowed to randomly roam the place, She Meixiao got a deck of cards for them to play.
Seeing Song Weihan and Sheng Lingtian enter the room, Sheng Feilong became really excited and carelessly put his cards down before jumping from his seat to greet the two new arrivals. He walked a few steps towards them and spoke up with a bright smile. "Father, Master, you-!" Before he could continue his sentence, Sheng Lingtian had run up to him, tightly embracing him in a bear hug.
Sheng Feilong was stunned for a moment and wanted to wriggle free from the hug, but noticed his father lightly trembling. Tears streaked down from Sheng Lingtian's face while he refused to let go of his son. After a long moment, he finally spoke up with a trembling and soft voice. "I'm so glad that you're alright..."
She Meixiao and Song Weihan stood by the side, not interfering with the matter, while Sheng Feilong was still slightly stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen his own father like this, but upon hearing the latter's words, he gently returned the hug with a smile. "I'm sorry father. I've made you suffer... I'm back."
