After hanging up, Huai Shi fell into silence and didn't say anything else.
He sat on the chair and began to think.
After the head of the Rijian family was dethroned, the key position that was left vacant.
The foreseeable competition between the Rijian family's orthodox and side branches, as well as the endless internal strife between the Wu family and the Gong family, as well as the infiltration of Dongxia's genealogy, the showdown between the Chef and Demon, the arrangement of the Ivory Tower …
And the reward promised by Hu Po in the end.
— — The remains of the Four Great Demons in the Yuzhi Treasure.
They were known as treasures on the same level as the Philosopher's Stone.
Their existence until now was not only because of their power, but also because of their position in history, which laid the foundation for Yingzhou's genealogy.
It was like an antique that was displayed in a museum.
They were all testimonies left behind in history, proof of the genealogy's past.
As evil beings, the degree of distortion on them was shocking, but the correction value built on this foundation was not small either. As Origin Books, they had spread countless disasters, but at the same time, gave birth to countless miracles.
If they were used as materials for alchemy, they would be able to create rare treasures.
If they were used as food …
Huai Shi lowered his head and stared at the blood-red Imperial God Blade on his knees.
Amidst the endless resentment, there was an unquenchable sense of hunger and thirst. It was the ferocious nature of the Crow hidden under their pious praise.
During their evolution, not only did they not feel satisfied, they became even more desperate, craving for more food, more disasters, and more miracles.
"If that's the case, it's not a bad trip?"
Huai Shi let out a long breath, looked at Tongi who had unknowingly appeared beside him, and asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"
"Hmm …" Tongi thought for a bit, "Eat and drink well, bring some souvenirs, and don't pick the wildflowers by the roadside?"
Huai Shi rolled his eyes.
"Be serious, anything else?"
"Also, come to the basement tonight, I have something to tell you"
"Hm?"
"I think it's time to teach you Great Si Ming's transformation technique."
Tongi's smile gradually brightened. "Let me say this in advance. This ritual is very dangerous. How to use it and how to seize the opportunity will depend on you. Don't go overboard."
From that smile, Huai Shi sensed the familiar premonition of death.
He sighed in understanding.
Alright, it's time to persecute me again, isn't it?
.
.
In fact, this journey probably wouldn't be smooth sailing at all. From the very beginning, it made people feel that their lives were full of misfortune.
In the afternoon of the next day, Huai Shi received a call asking him to go to the school office as soon as possible because there was something important to inform him.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Huai. Your passport was returned."
The commissioner coughed a few times. "Yingzhou refused to issue your passport and issued a warning and complaint to the Ivory Tower."
"Hmm?"
Huai Shi was dumbfounded. "What the hell?"
"We don't know about this either." The commissioner said to Huai Shi with an indescribable expression, "For some reason, Luming Hall listed you as a dangerous person and issued a warrant for you."
"…"
"Also, they claimed that you still have several crimes in Yingzhou that are under prosecution, including impersonating a national civil servant and espionage … Do you have any clues?"
"How would I know!"
Huai Shi widened his eyes and retorted in a trembling voice, "This is slander, complete slander! It's Luming Hall's despicable and shameless framing. Poor innocent people like me, the pillar of the Astronomy Association, the purple gold beam of the Ivory Tower, a young and promising upright man, have suffered such unfair treatment! The sun is shining, the sun is shining!
I've made contributions to the present world, I've shed blood in hell! I want to appeal to the Astronomy Association! I want to appeal! "
He said that he wanted to appeal.
In fact, Huai Shi did appeal …
The efficiency of the Astronomy Association was as outstanding as ever.
Ten minutes later, a call came from the Countermeasure Secretariat of the Yingzhou Governance Bureau.
A voice full of respect and humility expressed his understanding of Huai Shi with a tone full of guilt, anger, and indignation. He complained about the despicable act of Luming Hall, and then inadvertently mentioned Huai Shi's ranking on the internal blacklist of the Xinluo Seven Stars Group.
In the end, the other party said that they already knew about this matter and would soon organize a meeting to discuss and solve it. They were already doing it and were on the way … So, please rest assured and teach in the Ivory Tower. The Yingzhou Governance Bureau branch will definitely give you an explanation.
Although the wording was very polite and general, if it was translated concisely, it would become very straightforward.
— — Stinky brother, who are you trying to fool?
Think about what you've done in the past! It's only been a little more than a year since the Asian Rookie Competition. The Luming Hall is still looking at you from the old crooked tree!
The last time you, a member of the Astronomy Association, got involved in the battle of Yamatai City, do you know how many times our local gang wiped your ass for you? Why are you still jumping into the pit now?
Just stay in the Ivory Tower obediently!
In all fairness, as a brother unit, the Yingzhou Governance Bureau was already very kind. Otherwise, the Luming Hall's bounty and the Seven Stars Group's bounty wouldn't stop at the level of shouting.
But they really didn't want to help.
These days, it was already very difficult for the Governance Bureau to remain neutral in the struggle between the Wu family and the Gong family.
Especially recently, the situation had begun to become turbulent again. All kinds of messy things had already caused the members of the Countermeasure Headquarters to lose a lot of hair. The ousting of the Rijian family was just a fuse. No one knew what kind of storm would come next.
At this juncture, when they heard that the infamous jinx in the Asian Governance Bureau was going to jump into the gunpowder warehouse at their doorstep and give everyone a job, the head of the customs at the border was scared.
[Brother, can't we just stop for a moment?
Isn't the rice in the Ivory Tower delicious?
Why did you come to Yingzhou to eat this cold lunch?]
In short, if he didn't complain, he wouldn't have known. But once he complained, he was shocked.
Huai Shi was shocked to find that his reputation had reached the edge of a dangerous cliff.
He was dumbfounded.
He felt that something was f * cking wrong.
[What the hell are you doing!
I'm already prepared here, but you're banning me from entering the country?]
[Do you bastards know how much determination I made and how much mental struggle I had to do?]
[Besides, do you think you can stop me like this?]
In fact … they could really stop him.
As long as the Yingzhou Governance Bureau was determined not to let Huai Shi get involved in this matter, there were 100,000 soft nails that could knock him back. Even if Huai Shi took the risk to sneak into Yingzhou, once he was exposed, there would be hundreds of commissioners accompanying him to a hot spring villa deep in the mountains to recuperate until this matter was over.
It was difficult.
Just as Huai Shi was about to go bald, Russell, who had appeared out of nowhere, finally had enough of the commotion and slowly opened his mouth.
He said slowly, "Speaking of which, I do have an idea."
However, when Huai Shi's hope was rekindled, he saw that old face begin to sigh with regret. "But you can't go because it's your ex-girlfriend's birthday, right? Then forget it.
After all, I'm not a demon. Feelings are a lifelong thing. They're definitely more important than work. Can I force you? "
"What ex-girlfriend? A good horse doesn't go back to pasture. A breakup is a breakup. A broken mirror can't be reunited!"
Huai Shi replied without hesitation, "I only have work in my heart now. Work makes me happy!"
"Sigh, I'm so pleased that you can think like this."
Russell sighed again. "But the list of members of the exchange team has already been decided. I can't arrange it."
[Old bastard, don't go too far.]
Huai Shi's expression twitched. He squeezed out a smile. "It's okay. I'm willing to contribute to the Ivory Tower. I'll take annual leave to do voluntary work. I don't want money. I definitely won't cause trouble for the exchange team!"
Russell pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh again. He glanced at Huai Shi and shook his head. "But this idea is a little difficult. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."
"There's only a challenge when there's difficulty!"
Huai Shi patted his chest loudly and promised in a booming voice, "As the guardian of the present realm, what kind of difficulties have I not seen before? I'll go through mountains of knives and seas of fire! "
"Alright. Since you insist on going, as your teacher, I can't stop you."
Russell sighed. He had a good time acting as a helpless teacher who couldn't persuade his stubborn disciple. It was only when Huai Shi's teeth were about to shatter that he put his hands behind his back and walked away.
"Come with me. I have something for you."
Not long after, the safe in Russell's office was opened.
A heavy metal box was pulled out and placed on the table. After blowing off the non-existent dust, Russell carefully wiped his hands and opened the combination lock on top.
"This is the gift I prepared for you on the day you became my student. Originally, I wanted to give it to you when you finished your apprenticeship … But I think it's time for you to need it now."
Following the old man's actions, the treasure that had been sleeping in front of Huai Shi finally revealed its true appearance.
In the long silence, Huai Shi stood rooted to the ground.
He raised his head stiffly and widened his eyes.
"What … is this?"
Under the reflection of the yellow sunlight outside the window, the pure white inside the metal box glowed faintly. It was dreamy and illusory, as if it was calling out to its future owner.
The meticulous tailoring from the designer highlighted the extraordinary taste and design, and the lace embellished on the collar and chest made it look even more elegant and sweet.
Look at the snow-white color, look at the meticulous workmanship, and look at the elegant aura that greeted the face.
Which sensible student would refuse such a gift? Which girl wouldn't be moved to tears when receiving it, understanding the teacher's encouragement and expectations for her?
Just like that, with the strong expectations of the elders.
A dress was delivered to Huai Shi.
"Try it on. Is the size suitable?"
Russell smiled.
