Inside the laboratory at the Mingng Chamber of Comrce's headquarters.
Kong Mingan slowly opened his eyes, the faint light in them, brought by projecting his consciousness across space, gradually faded.
The Ice Empress, who had been guarding him, leaned forward, her delicate small face drawing close, a hint of inquiry in her expression: "What were you doing again just now?"
Just now, she had seen with her own eyes this guy suddenly stop his experint, then touch his glabella, open a spatial gate, throw sothing out, and then sit with his eyes closed.
She even thought sothing might have happened to him, seeing him so still.
After a pause, she added, "If sothing happened to you, I wouldn't know how to explain it to the Snow Empress."
Kong Mingan listened to her slightly awkward words, gently shook his head, and said in a calm tone:
"Nothing happened." He paused briefly, then continued: "I just remotely handled so urgent matters. Now the issue is resolved, and everything is fine."
The Ice Empress observed him carefully for a mont, confirming that his breathing was steady and his spirit power was harmonious, indeed not looking like soone in trouble. Her interest imdiately waned.
Pouting, the Ice Empress sat back down, then naturally leaned against Kong Mingan, finding a comfortable position.
Then, her consciousness skillfully connected to the "Ling Shu Network."
While distracted by the novel mini-gas within, she ntally browsed the latest recorded stories and novels.
The forr were developed by this guy for her to pass the ti, while the latter were physical books she had specially commissioned people to input into the network for convenience, saving her from having to flip through thick volus.
Feeling the warmth and weight from his side, Kong Mingan glanced at the Ice Empress leaning on him, her toes gently Upturned, looking leisurely. A strange thought flashed through his mind.
How did he feel like the Ice Empress was developing into a shut-in?
Tsk. How strange.
Sighing softly, Kong Mingan suppressed his jumbled thoughts and, with a sliver of his mind, remotely checked on Zhang Lexuan's condition through the mark he had left when they used their Spirit Fusion skill together earlier.
Sensing the tumultuous emotions surging within Zhang Lexuan, Kong Mingan was slightly concerned.
He hoped Zhang Lexuan could overco this hurdle; after all, compared to others, she was indeed the best candidate.
But if she couldn't... perhaps soone else would have to be found... Shrek Academy, Inner Court dical Zone.
Zhang Lexuan ultimately did not erupt into a direct conflict with Xuan Zi on the scene.
Her rationality overca the montary surge of anger. The surviving team mbers were all injured; although Kong Mingan had used her hands for ergency treatnt, it had only saved their lives.
Several of them were still in a critically injured, unconscious state. Even her conscious teammates were still wounded, leaving no ti for argunts.
Therefore, Zhang Lexuan could only suppress her grief and the urge to question Xuan Zi, organizing those who could still move to carry the injured and the remains of their companions, silently returning to the Academy for treatnt.
And it was after they received treatnt that news of this Spirit hunting operation, as if on wings, quickly spread among the high-ranking officials within the Academy.
Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Spirit Departnt, was the first to arrive at the treatnt site.
However, upon seeing the scene of widespread injuries, his first reaction was not to comfort the wounded, but to frown deeply and ask the person in charge nearby if the news had been suppressed.
Afterward, he asked his assistant about the family backgrounds of the two deceased students, evaluating the potential "trouble" that might arise later.
All of this was witnessed by Zhang Lexuan, who stood silently in a corner.
She said nothing, but her usually gentle eyes were now only cold.
Without engaging in an argunt, she simply turned and left the treatnt area, then flew directly towards Sea God Island.
Just a few hours later,
A ssage reached the hands of every high-ranking Shrek official.
The content of the ssage was a Sea God Pavilion eting, marked as mandatory attendance, and the initiator of the eting...
was Mu En... The heavy door slowly closed, completely blocking out the warm light filtering through the golden ancient tree's leaves from outside.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt like it could drip water, suffocating.
One by one, the elders, who were usually rarely seen, filed in. Most of them remained silent, their gazes subtly falling upon Mu En, who sat at the head of the table with an unreadable expression, and Zhang Lexuan beside him. Each of their expressions grew solemn.
Soon, Yan Shaozhe entered with Cai ii, the Vice Dean of the Spirit Departnt.
Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan beside Mu En, Yan Shaozhe's expression imdiately changed. Just as he was about to speak and explain, he was cut off by a single look from Mu En.
"Stand aside."
Mu En's voice was not loud, and even very calm, making it impossible to discern any emotion.
However, upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's face turned pale, and he beca as silent as a cicada in winter, obediently retreating to the side and standing with his head bowed.
Ti continued to pass, and soon, the last person for this eting arrived.
It was Xuan Zi.
At this mont, he was carrying a wine gourd, his steps unsteady, reeking of alcohol, and his face held a dazed, lost expression.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt everyone's gaze focus on him.
The others were fine, but the calm gaze from Mu En among them instantly jolted him, his eyes clearing up a bit.
"Elder Mu, I—"
Mu En calmly raised his hand, interrupting Xuan Zi's words, his voice completely devoid of fluctuation, "Xuan Zi, co here and kneel. I have sothing to say in a mont."
Xuan Zi: "..."
A cold sweat broke out on Xuan Zi's forehead.
Such an indifferent tone made Xuan Zi feel as if he was seeing the decisive Dragon God Douluo from his youth.
His body trembled slightly, unable to muster any thought of resistance. Under the complex gazes of the many elders, he walked tremblingly to the side, then knelt down with a "thud."
The Sea God Pavilion imdiately fell into a deathly silence.
In this suffocating silence, Mu En spoke again, his gaze turning to Yan Shaozhe:
"Shao Zhe, what were you trying to do by sending two Spirit Douluo to the hos of those two deceased children?"
Yan Shaozhe's pupils constricted, his face instantly turning ashen, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Mu En sighed, asked no further questions, and simply raised his hand slightly.
"Bang!"
An invisible imnse force slamd into Yan Shaozhe. In an instant, he was sent flying backward as if hit by a cannonball, then crashed heavily against the wall!
Bone-chilling sounds of cracking bones echoed consecutively. Under Mu En's deliberate control, the wall remained intact, but Yan Shaozhe was already covered in blood, with an unknown number of broken bones, and slid softly to the ground, only faint, painful groans remaining.
