Chapter 605: Chapter 546: Sliding Kneel
Zhang Pianpian listened to Zhang Yu’s words and felt that Zhang Yu wanted to take revenge on Feng Yuhai, but she thought it wouldn’t make much sense.
Then she heard Zhang Yu say, “Senior, don’t you think there’s sothing off about Feng Yuhai? How could one person single-handedly fight off the Demon Cultists? Is it possible he’s been infiltrated by the Demon Cultists?”
“I’m not targeting him personally; I just feel that there might truly be sothing wrong with him. I’m worried he might pose a threat to Wanfa University.”
Zhang Pianpian’s gaze shifted slightly. Although she thought Zhang Yu was finding fault with Feng Yuhai out of revenge, she couldn’t deny there was so truth in Zhang Yu’s words.
As Zhang Pianpian hesitated, Zhang Yu sighed and said, “Well, senior, if you don’t want to, it’s all right.”
That night, when Yu Xinghan returned to the dorm, he said, “Zhang Yu, those discount coupons you wanted to keep an eye out for have arrived. Check them out.”
“Speaking of which, although your Ti Residual Demon Pupil is high-end, you’ve been using it since your senior year of high school. It’s almost been five years; it’s probably ti for an upgrade.”
Zhang Yu replied, “There’s just too many places where I need to spend money. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s lagging now, I’d have used it for at least another year.”
Hearing these words, Zhang Pianpian recalled how Zhang Yu had scrimped and saved to borrow a total of 150 Spirit Coins from her over ti.
Thinking about the bond between siblings and how she had paused her repaynts for the past two months due to an economic crisis… Zhang Pianpian sighed helplessly and ssaged Zhang Yu.
Zhang Pianpian: Alright, I’ll help you look into it.
…
The next day, a report appeared in front of Zhang Yu.
In addition to various basic data about Feng Yuhai, it also contained various records of his solo battles against the Demon Cultists.
Only to hear Zhang Pianpian analyze, “At first glance, there’s indeed nothing wrong, but it’s just a bit… too clean.”
Zhang Pianpian mused, “Especially the combat site, which is too clean. Various traces are too simple, exactly matching what Feng Yuhai said.”
“But even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, after a difficult fight surrounded by many Demon Cultists, could they really rember every detail so clearly and accurately?”
“The site is almost as if… it was arranged according to his words.”
Zhang Pianpian said, “You’re right; this Feng Yuhai is indeed suspicious.”
“But it’s just a tiny bit of suspicion, hardly enough to explain anything.”
…
Dark Spirit Realm.
Xi Shen, with a thousand hands and legs, erged from the darkness and stood in the conference room.
He looked at the fusion of Fu Ji and Zhang Yu in front of him and said blandly, “Fushen, what do you want from ?”
Fu Ji calmly said, “Xi Shen, what are the three most important things for us Evil God believers?”
Xi Shen: “What do you want to say?”
“The first thing is safety.” Fu Ji continued, “The second thing is safety.”
“The third thing is still safety.”
Fu Ji stared at Xi Shen and said, “But what you’re doing now is very unsafe.”
Xi Shen wriggled his thousand legs and hands, coldly asking, “What do you an?”
Only to hear Fu Ji snort and say, “Your people in the University City are already being watched by the Patrol Team, do you know that?”
Xi Shen was slightly stunned and said, “Impossible, we acted cautiously, there’s no way there was a leak.”
Fu Ji intercepted part of Zhang Pianpian’s investigation report, flashed it before Xi Shen, and then said, “This is an internal Patrol Team report. Have you seen it clearly?”
Xi Shen’s thousand hands and legs trembled simultaneously, and he looked at Fu Ji with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He thought to himself, “This guy… even managed to plant people within the Wanfa University Patrol Team?”
“How deeply has this Fushen been entrenching himself within the Wanfa University City?”
Amid a myriad of thoughts, Xi Shen recalled the recently flashed report and solemnly said, “They’ve focused on… Feng Yuhai? But the investigation was clearly finished before, why now?”
Understanding why it attracted the Patrol Team’s attention was apparently of utmost concern to Xi Shen, since it related to his future operations in Wanfa University City.
Fu Ji directly said, “You’d better check thoroughly to see if Feng Yuhai is unwilling to be controlled and is deliberately stirring up trouble.”
Xi Shen: “Impossible, he won’t actively cause trouble.”
Fu Ji said, “So sure? Has he beco one of your believers?”
Xi Shen hesitated slightly but, recalling the internal information Fu Ji had just shown, candidly replied, “Yes, he has beco a believer, so he wouldn’t actively cause trouble.”
Fu Ji said, “Then check if Feng Yuhai has offended soone, or if soone wants to harm him.”
She continued, “Xi Shen, I warn you all, I’ve been laying out my plans at Wanfa University for a long ti. I don’t want you to drag down, stirring up trouble everywhere, eventually implicating .”
…
“Fool!”
In the lower realms of the Dark Spirit Realm, Xi Shen’s consciousness clashed with Feng Yuhai and angrily rebuked, “Do you know you’re being watched?”
Feng Yuhai was shocked and nervously asked, “I’m being watched?”
Xi Shen: “The Patrol Team is investigating you, do you have any clues?”
Seeing Feng Yuhai frowning and pondering but unable to reach a conclusion, Xi Shen coldly snorted and said, “Find out what’s going on, where the problem arose, and don’t wait for to remind you again.”
This naturally caught Feng Yuhai’s utmost attention. He imdiately used his connections to investigate but was unable to find anything amiss.
For the next two days, Feng Yuhai couldn’t find any leads, and Xi Shen still couldn’t figure out where the problem with Feng Yuhai lay.
After much thought, Xi Shen finally turned to Fushen, whose influence was deeply entrenched in Wanfa University in his eyes.
In the Dark Spirit Realm.
Fu Ji said indifferently, “You want to help you investigate? You know the rules, right?”
Xi Shen chuckled lightly, “Senior, I understand information trading. As long as you find effective information, we can also provide you with what you want to know.”
Fu Ji said, “Report all the people Feng Yuhai has recently contacted to —don’t miss a single one, whether teachers, students, or any outsourcing, temp workers, even vocational or college students.”
The next day, Xi Shen arrived again in the Dark Spirit Realm and received a reply from Fu Ji.
“Zhang Yu?” Xi Shen questioned in confusion upon hearing the na from Fu Ji. “Is it because of this student?”
Fu Ji continued, “Zhang Yu has a roommate, and they’re both from the lower level Songyang City.”
“The roommate is nad Zhang Pianpian.”
“Here are her details.”
Xi Shen looked through the information, a chill arising in his thousand eyes: “Is it because during Feng Yuhai’s handling of matters, he offended this Zhang Yu? So Zhang Yu incited Zhang Pianpian to investigate Feng Yuhai?”
Xi Shen never expected that after so much trouble, it ultimately traced back to two students.
Just because Feng Yuhai increased this student’s workload several tis over, offending them, that it led to these events?
As he pondered how to deal with these two students, Fu Ji interjected, “Hmph, can’t you see? This Zhang Pianpian is not just an ordinary student.”
Xi Shen frowned slightly, repeatedly checking the basic information, suddenly having a thought: “Divine Dao?”
He searched through his own information channels and found that a lot of intelligence about Zhang Pianpian was hidden.
At the sa ti, he discovered that in the upcoming top ten tournant, a talisman student from Sky Demon University had gone missing, and they were also involved in Divine Dao.
Seeing Xi Shen lost in thought, Fu Ji continued, “Understand? This Zhang Pianpian is extrely complex and likely has a deep background; she’s not to be underestimated.”
“Even if you manage to deal with her, it might cost you dearly.”
“In our line of work, the biggest taboo is clashing head-on with a True God.”
“I don’t care what thod you use, have Feng Yuhai resolve his conflict with Zhang Yu, and stop Zhang Pianpian from investigating further.”
“What if they end up uncovering more issues?”
As Xi Shen was about to leave, Fu Ji quickly asked, “What about the deal?”
Xi Shen asked, “What do you want to know?”
Fu Ji said, “Why are you focusing on the Divinity Transformation Remains?”
Xi Shen didn’t answer, instead directly sending a docunt to Fu Ji.
Opening the docunt, Fu Ji and Zhang Yu were equally stunned.
“Qiongjiang Divine Monarch… secretly transferring cultivation for reincarnated persons within the sect?”
…
In the lower levels of the Dark Spirit Realm.
Xi Shen said coldly, “It’s because of Zhang Yu that soone has targeted you.”
“Go reconcile with him, don’t let him keep watching you.”
Feng Yuhai was montarily stunned, saying, “You want to reconcile with a student?”
Xi Shen scoffed, “Understand your own position; besides being a teacher at Wanfa University, you’re also a believer of the Evil God.”
“If Zhang Yu can attract the attention of a True God, then don’t offend him.”
Feng Yuhai gritted his teeth and said, “But if I take the initiative to reconcile, won’t it arouse suspicion?”
Xi Shen: “Do I have to teach you sothing so simple?”
Xi Shen angrily ordered, “Solve this problem within a day.”
…
That night, taking advantage of Zhang Yu’s visit to the Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s laboratory, Feng Yuhai hurried over as well.
After pacing outside the lab for a long ti, Feng Yuhai finally mustered the courage to enter.
Looking at the Magnetic Pole True Monarch and Zhang Yu before him, Feng Yuhai suppressed his inner frustration and forced a smile: “I know recent events have affected the lab’s work.”
“But I’m helpless; I would never want to delay the project unless absolutely necessary.”
“Especially seeing Magnetic Pole True Monarch make breakthroughs in Divinity Transformation Remains research; all of us at the research departnt are quite excited.”
“I have always been supportive of Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s promotion to Divinity Transformation.”
Pausing here, Feng Yuhai felt a wave of intense reluctance until rembering the Evil God’s warning.
Feng Yuhai knew that to reconcile, he couldn’t just approach Zhang Yu; that would raise too much suspicion.
He could only pretend to seize the opportunity to reconcile with the Magnetic Pole True Monarch, smoothing relations with Zhang Yu in the process, even if it ca at a steep cost.
Enduring the frustration and pain in his mind, he discreetly handed 50 spirit coins to the Magnetic Pole True Monarch and 20 spirit coins to Zhang Yu.
Then Feng Yuhai earnestly said, “A small token of my apology.”
“Regarding your disciple, Magnetic Pole True Monarch, I will also try to reduce his workload in other project teams.”
Thinking of the work he had to do for other project teams to reduce Zhang Yu’s workload, Feng Yuhai felt another pang of pain.
And having to apologize so humbly to the Magnetic Pole True Monarch and a re student like Zhang Yu today made Feng Yuhai feel unprecedented frustration.
Watching Feng Yuhai’s departing figure, the Magnetic Pole True Monarch frowned and said, “This guy… why the sudden change?”
Zhang Yu said, “Maybe he saw your research progress lately and realized you are close to Divinity Transformation, so he doesn’t want to offend you too much.”
Magnetic Pole True Monarch nodded slightly, finding so sense in this explanation.
In the following days, Zhang Yu finally had ample ti to continue crafting the prototype machine.
A few days later, the complete Level 1 prototype machine was entirely finished by Zhang Yu.
Looking at the golem opening its eyes and slowly floating into the air, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Yu’s face.
At this mont, he asked Fu Ji a question in his heart again.
“Fu Ji, what exactly is Divine Dao? Why are both you and Xi Shen so wary of it?”
