Odd Zhuo hadn't expected Jiugong Ryoko to transfer to No. 60 High School because of him.
And he … had actually offended the entire Jiugong family?
Odd Zhuo found this a little inconceivable.
In fact, there had always been doubts about the large-scale disaster that had suddenly descended on the Gate Between Worlds six years ago, and this wasn't the first time that Odd Zhuo had faced such doubts.
As Wang Ling's number one disciple and scapegoat, Odd Zhuo's mental fortitude had long since been tempered to the point that he could even fool a lie-detecting magic treasure.
Thus, in the face of Jiugong's questioning, Odd Zhuo just smiled, his heart as calm as an ancient well.
He skillfully operated the tea set on the headmaster's table, made a cup of tea for Jiugong, and handed it to her. "I don't know why Classmate Jiugong says that, but what happened six years ago should have long since been settled."
Sniffing the fragrance of the tea and the hot water, Jiugong Ryoko's anger when she saw Odd Zhuo suddenly seemed to ease a lot.
"Heh, who wants to drink tea made by a liar like you?"
Although she said so, she still reached out to take the teacup.
"Classmate Jiugong, you need evidence for everything. I don't know why the Jiugong family hates me so much, but if there's any misunderstanding, I think it's better to clear things up as soon as possible, "said Odd Zhuo.
He sat down opposite Jiugong, and at the same time, observed her expression.
She was an ice beauty, and her expression didn't change in the slightest.
Emotions didn't show directly on her face.
Odd Zhuo was a little familiar with this feeling.
After all, his shifu was also this kind of person …
"Liar, do you really think I don't have evidence?"
Jiugong Ryoko sipped her tea and gazed at Odd Zhuo with her purple eyes. "Although the incident happened a long time ago, our Jiugong family has put in a lot of effort. We did indeed find a witness at the scene. Furthermore, this witness said that the person who defeated the demon king was a boy with dead fish eyes. "
Speaking of this, Jiugong Ryoko paused.
Speaking of "dead fish eyes" … she remembered that she seemed to have seen a dead fish eye not long ago.
But for some reason, there was a lack of memory in her mind, and she couldn't recall it.
But this wasn't the point.
The point was that she had come to Huaxiu nation this time and chosen No. 60 High School.
She had come for Odd Zhuo from the beginning.
One reason was to expose this swindler, and the other was to use this topic to expand the Jiugong family's market in Huaxiu nation.
"You mean, a witness?" Odd Zhuo was slightly taken aback.
The scene at that time was too messy. There was dust and smoke from collapsed buildings everywhere, as well as thick smoke from all kinds of explosions.
He had saved a lot of people in the beginning with the team, and had already confirmed that the core area where Loopy Toad had landed had already been evacuated, and there wouldn't be a third person there.
So, where did this witness come from?
Ryoko Kumiya did not keep him in suspense. Instead, she took out the "evidence" that she had prepared in advance from her small bag.
It was a photo, and what shocked Odd Zhuo was that it was actually a "GIF" …
"Can GIFs be printed now?" Odd Zhuo stared at the photo in disbelief.
"This is a digital camera photo seal, and the person sealed in this photo is the witness of our Kyouya family," Kyouya Ryoko said.
Odd Zhuo stared at the photo.
He saw a little girl in a light yellow dress. She was only about five or six years old, and she was knitting a sweater in the photo.
"A … day ghost?" Odd Zhuo stared at the photo for a few seconds before finally picking up on the clues.
He hadn't expected the witness that Ryoko Kumiya was talking about to be a "day ghost."
"You don't look so useless."
Ryoko wasn't surprised that Odd Zhuo could tell, but to be able to directly identify the type of ghost based on a sealed photo, he definitely had to have the vision of an expert.
Their Jiugong family had been responsible for exorcising demons for generations.
Although Jiugong still hated this swindler Odd Zhuo, it had to be said that he was much better than her disappointing brothers.
This instantly made Ryoko feel a little humiliated and angry, and she said to Odd Zhuo, "But for a swindler like you who habitually hogs glory, you should also have some special knowledge in the area of exorcism." Odd Zhuo: "…"
"It's just the words of a five- or six-year-old girl, how can Classmate Jiugong believe it?"
Odd Zhuo smiled calmly. "She said that the one who defeated the demon king was a boy. How old was the boy at that time? "
"Ten years old," Ryoko Kuamiya answered.
"Ten years old. No matter how talented a cultivator is, at this age, he would at best be a Golden Core cultivator. A Golden Core cultivator can defeat a demon king? "Odd Zhuo laughed.
"Weren't you also a Golden Core Cultivator at that time?" Ryoko asked.
"As I said, the Monster King was already very weak after a series of attacks, so I only went to give him the final blow."
Odd Zhuo retorted, "I've already clarified this with a lot of the media. As for the media's increasingly ridiculous claims about the Ten Thousand Miles Parting Air Sword … those are indeed exaggerated. "
However, Ryoko Kumiya didn't buy Odd Zhuo's explanation.
"You're just trying to flatter me, that's all."
Kumiya Ryoko snorted. "Also, let me tell you, the day-wandering ghost girl in this photo looks like she's only five or six years old. But that was because she was at that age when she died. That was why his appearance was fixed. Little Yellow appeared in that area thirty years ago, which is to say that she actually has the mind of an adult. "
"I know what you want to say," Odd Zhuo replied.
"Classmate Kumiya wants to say that this day-wandering ghost's words are in fact legally binding, right?"
"Yes, liar."
Ryoko Kumiya's lips curled up. "So, are you panicking?"
"No." Odd Zhuo shrugged indifferently.
"I know that a day-wandering ghost's words alone are far from enough. So I have to find the boy who was seen by this day-wandering ghost back then. "
At that moment, Ryoko Kumiya got up and abruptly took a step forward.
Her purple eyes fixed on Odd Zhuo, and the two of them almost instantly closed the distance between them.
Ryoko Kumiya: "According to our Kumiya family's speculation, you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in recent years. In recent years, you've performed miraculous feats again and again. A lot of things may seem irrelevant, but they are in fact closely related to No. 60 High. So we have reason to suspect that the boy might be studying at No. 60 High! "
They were too close, and from this angle, they just happened to be facing each other …
Odd Zhuo tilted his head slightly and pretended that he hadn't seen anything. "Classmate Kumiya, you're too close."
Ryoko Kumiya hurriedly got up and covered herself. "You … you pervert!"
Odd Zhuo was instantly unconvinced. "But I still have to be able to see him! Classmate Kumiya, you don't have any, how can I be considered a pervert? "
Hearing this, Ryoko Kumiya took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She then quickly opened the office door and prepared to leave.
She only left Odd Zhuo with her cold back. "Wait for me, Odd Zhuo, we'll see."
"I'll handle the registration procedures for Classmate Kumiya. Have a safe trip." Odd Zhuo smiled and nodded.
Bang!
Then, the office door was instantly shut.
Seeing that Ryoko Kumiya was gone, Odd Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief.
This young miss from a foreign country.
She was a little tricky …
At that moment, Odd Zhuo glanced at the ring on his thumb.
This ring was one of the magic weapons Wang Ling had given him. It was called the "Fake Heart Ring," also known as the "Substitute Heart Ring."
As the name implied, it was a ring that could replace a heart with a space. The heart in Odd Zhuo's body right now was a fake heart created by the Substitute Heart Ring, while the real heart was sealed inside the ring.
The heart was a vital part of the body, and the Substitute Heart Ring was originally meant to protect it.
But it was different for Odd Zhuo.
Because the heartbeat of the fake heart didn't belong to him …
This was one of the main reasons why Odd Zhuo could remain calm in the face of questioning, and thus deceive those "lie-detecting magic treasures."
In fact, the heartbeat of the heart that was sealed in the Heart Substitution Ring's space was really frantic …
When Ryoko Kumiya approached, Odd Zhuo could clearly feel his heartbeat accelerate under the other party's barrage of questions.
