This ti, Dragon Spirit truly believed that the Little Paperman hadn’t been lodramatic, but had indeed suffered great hardships.
When the other mbers of the Special Administration Bureau saw this scene, they all gasped in shock.
This was an incredibly hard Magic Artifact, yet it shattered like tofu when hit by these hidden chanisms.
Fortunately, the Little Paperman had scouted ahead first, and Brother Long had discovered the blind spots.
Otherwise, when they used the Magic Artifact to fend off these hidden projectiles...
The people of the Special Administration Bureau didn’t dare to think further.
Especially knowing that these chanisms were originally ant for them, it sent chills down their spines.
The young man who handed the Magic Artifact to Dragon Spirit was at a loss for words.
"Brother Long..."
Although Dragon Spirit was a bit troubled by the current situation, he wasn’t completely helpless.
His body now contained part of the Dragon Core from both the Fire Dragon and the Ice Dragon. Regardless of how formidable the traps here were, there was a threshold.
After pondering, Dragon Spirit once again took out the ice sphere and infused so cold energy into the secret passage.
The traps made of energy waves were frozen by the cold and fell to the ground, not rging into the surface.
Yet, as more ice accumulated on the ground, the traps continued unabated.
Dragon Spirit imdiately realized that simply using cold had limited effects on these traps.
"We need to find out the triggering chanism of these traps first."
While Dragon Spirit and the other mbers of the Special Administration Bureau gathered to discuss,
the Little Paperman looked at Xie Xuzhi, who stood aside like an outsider, and suddenly felt a bit sympathetic for his lack of Xuan Sect skills. It was akin to being marginalized.
Imdiately, it sidled up to Xie Xuzhi.
In a cutesy voice, it comforted him, "Director Xie, don’t be discouraged. Each field has its specialists. You may not know Xuan Sect techniques, but you have a sharp mind and deep strategy."
Xie Xuzhi: ...
Seeing the Little Paperman racking its brains to comfort him, he thought about finding it so proper study materials once this matter concluded. Watching these chaotic videos resulted in using all sorts of odd phrases.
"Thank you for comforting ."
The Little Paperman chuckled, "No need to thank ; we’re old friends after all."
Saying this, the Little Paperman extended its tiny hand, patting Xie Xuzhi’s shoulder with a friendly gesture.
Xie Xuzhi genuinely couldn’t do much about the Little Paperman, so he simply changed the topic.
"I’m not discouraged, just recalling so data I saw earlier. So chanisms in this passage seem familiar to what I saw in an ancient book before."
His insistence on coming wasn’t because he felt he needed to personally contribute as the Director, thus feeling uneasy.
Often, those in positions of real power don’t need to empathize with those below them.
They don’t even need to care about their feelings.
Xie Xuzhi could simultaneously manage most of the Xie Family’s businesses and handle a large number of tasks at the Special Administration Bureau.
He certainly wasn’t soone chasing fa and glory.
If he worried that his lack of Xuan Sect skills would lead to mockery by his subordinates, he would never have held his position in the Special Administration Bureau.
Not to ntion controlling the seasoned mbers of the Bureau and those from all the Mystical Sects.
The only reason Xie Xuzhi insisted on coming was that he suspected Jia Feng was the one controlling the main point of the Underground Palace.
In terms of Xuan Sect abilities and strategies, Jia Feng was undoubtedly formidable.
Xie Xuzhi feared that if the Bureau’s mbers faced Jia Feng, they would surely suffer a major loss.
Here, he was the only one capable of challenging Jia Feng.
The Little Paperman didn’t know the true reason for Xie Xuzhi’s presence, but upon hearing that Xie Xuzhi found the chanisms familiar,
it excitedly asked, "Did you rember any details?"
Its eagerness wasn’t without reason. Though it was a Magic Artifact, it held grudges like anyone else.
Since being crafted by its master, the Little Paperman had only endured grievances and injuries a few tis.
Most importantly, it despised the energy waves that humbled it.
Rembering this, it patted its now painless arm, feeling more and more aggrieved.
If only the master were here~
The Little Paperman never considered the possibility that Dragon Spirit or Xie Xuzhi would stand up for it.
Its sense of boundaries was remarkably clear.
No matter how good its relationship with Dragon Spirit or Xie Xuzhi was, it would never treat them as it did its master, Yun Ran.
Xie Xuzhi pondered before saying, "Those materials were things I saw before I was ten."
Perhaps because he was very young at the ti, Jia Feng was wary of him but not as defensively as he would be with an adult.
So, he had the opportunity to browse books in Jia Feng’s study.
If not for today’s situation, Xie Xuzhi would’ve almost forgotten about it.
The Little Paperman grew anxious—mories from before ten seed tenuous.
It was well aware of human mory.
Especially in young ones, so incidents are unforgettable, etched deeply into mory.
But others, less significant, are easily forgotten.
It wished Director Xie shared the sa prodigious talent as its master, who never forgot anything read.
"Rember as much as you can; it might help!"
Then, Xie Xuzhi said, "My mory is exceptional; even childhood events are clear, but this mory is old, so I need to recall it."
Hearing this, the Little Paperman’s eyes widened with surprise. Director Xie had a mory similar to its host.
The Little Paperman felt even more regretful.
Such a talented person was misguided in thinking he wasn’t suited to study Xuan Sect’s magic.
Later, a vicious curse was placed on him, nearly costing him his life.
The Little Paperman imagined if it happened to itself, (⊙o⊙)... it would almost explode from anger!!!
How did Xie Xuzhi feel upon learning the truth?
Soone so intelligent, orchestrating everything, even risking his life for calculations,
only to be told it was all a plan from the start, even his death.
How cruel.
The Little Paperman sighed, then drifted to Xie Xuzhi’s shoulder, sitting down.
It reached out, embracing Xie Xuzhi’s head in a comforting hug.
