Chapter 084: World Four [6-2]
Three days passed quickly. This time was enough for Meng Jiuge to go through the special procedure to convict Li Feng, but the subsequent trial process could not be omitted. It would take at least three months.
If it was a death penalty, then the process would take even longer. She couldn’t just let Sun Xue wander around in the present world. The risk was too great.
“My master will send you to the underworld in a bit. You can just queue up and be reincarnated then,” Meng Jiuge said, holding a notebook. “The trial result will be notified to his relatives and his unit. Everything he has gotten will be negated, and your efforts will not be twisted into being for a certain man.”
Sun Xue showed a hesitant look. “If I go to the underworld, what will happen to the little magician? Don’t I need to terminate that contract in advance?”
Meng Jiuge: “The contract will be automatically terminated after you go to the underworld. I will arrange for the little fox to be with her own kind. I won’t let her be wronged.”
“Can I see the little magician one more time?” Sun Xue asked.
Meng Jiuge hesitated for a second. “This, I’ll discuss it with my master. It shouldn’t be…”
“Indecisiveness leads to trouble,” Ling Yilin’s voice came from outside, interrupting Meng Jiuge’s unfinished words. “If you see the little fox, you will have a lingering attachment to the human world. This kind of ghost is very dangerous.”
Sun Xue subconsciously shrank her head, her pleading gaze falling on Meng Jiuge.
Meng Jiuge rubbed her nose. She also understood the principle, but Sun Xue and the little fox had a bond. It wasn’t just a simple feeding relationship. The contract between them had also been maintained for five years.
“Senior, I think the Administration is still very safe,” Meng Jiuge said tactfully. “Why don’t we fulfill her little wish? Sun Xue has also cooperated with my actions before and has helped the police crack down on a criminal gang.”
“Are you sure?” Ling Yilin looked at Meng Jiuge.
Meng Jiuge nodded. She, who had just graduated from high school, was at a simple time. She still didn’t know how sinister the human heart could be. She still felt that kindness would be rewarded with kindness, and she was at an age where it was very easy to give her trust.
“Then you can do as you think,” Ling Yilin chuckled softly. “There is indeed someone here who can back you up.”
“Thank you, senior. I will work hard not to trouble you,” Meng Jiuge showed a smiling face.
“I won’t back you up. Don’t misunderstand my words,” Ling Yilin frowned. What she meant was that Yan Zhiming was also here. As Meng Jiuge’s master, of course, she had to be responsible for her disciple’s actions.
“I understand what you mean, senior. You won’t back me up!” Meng Jiuge made a zipping motion at her mouth, but the gratitude and admiration in her eyes as she looked at Ling Yilin were still there.
Ling Yilin: …
Eighteen years old was a disobedient age!
Seeing that Meng Jiuge had already run to hug the little fox, Ling Yilin was too lazy to continue to explain. She chose a sofa that was closest and sat down, preparing to see if Meng Jiuge would mess up.
However, Ling Yilin did not wait for Meng Jiuge to come back, but first saw her master, Yan Zhiming, appear.
“Senior Ling, I’m very sorry. This little disciple of mine has caused you trouble. I have brought her to apologize to you,” Yan Zhiming walked over with an apologetic face, without any of the airs of a bureau chief, and bowed with her hands clasped.
“It’s just a little squabble between children. It’s not a trouble for me,” Ling Yilin’s brow furrowed slightly. She really disliked the way Yan Zhiming was protecting Meng Jiuge.
She was just a little disciple she had accepted for a few days. If she really cared, she should have stood up for her when she had designated her to accompany her. There was no need to wait until now to appear.
At this time, Ling Yilin was a little unreasonable and completely disregarded the fact that her own strength was enough to make everyone in the twelfth branch shut up, and would only find fault in an egg.
“It is I who have misunderstood you, senior,” Yan Zhiming smiled and sat on another sofa with a good-tempered look.
“The first mission that you took on, senior, has been completed beyond expectations. I wonder if you have encountered any problems during the mission, or have you discovered any shortcomings of the Administration?” Yan Zhiming asked.
“There are many shortcomings. A local spirit has lived in a place with so many students for five years. How is it that the Administration has only discovered it now? This kind of hidden danger should be eliminated in advance, not after a student has had an accident, and then try to fix it,” Ling Yilin’s words were sharp, and she began to find trouble for no reason.
“This time, the local spirit had no intention of hurting people, but it’s hard to say for the next one.”
“Not to mention that there is also a little fox by the local spirit’s side. If the little fox is infected by the local spirit’s obsession and falls into the evil path, who knows how many students will die.”
Yan Zhiming nodded continuously and agreed with a good temper. “Your opinion is very pertinent, senior. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future and do more screening of abnormal information to eliminate the hidden dangers in advance.”
This attitude made Ling Yilin feel like she had punched a cotton ball. She immediately lost the thought of finding fault and continued to lean against the sofa and rest with her eyes closed.
Ling Yilin did not move, so Yan Zhiming took the opportunity to take out her phone and began to work on the procedures in the Administration that needed her approval, with the main theme being not to delay work at any time.
After five minutes, Ling Yilin opened her eyes and glanced at the notebook that was placed on the counter, as quiet as a chicken.
“Where’s your little disciple? Didn’t she go to hug the little fox? Why isn’t she back yet?” Ling Yilin asked a little impatiently.
Yan Zhiming smiled. “It just so happens that a great demon from the fox race is visiting. Xiao Ge is holding the little fox and communicating with the other party. It will probably be a while before she comes back.”
“Are you waiting for Xiao Ge, senior?” Yan Zhiming asked.
“I am a person who sees things through. Sending Sun Xue down is my mission. Whether the mission is settled in the system or not, it does not affect me personally confirming the completion of the mission,” Ling Yilin’s gaze fell on Yan Zhiming.
As Ling Yilin had learned before, Yan Zhiming’s cultivation was at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, just a little bit away from the Golden Core.
From her appearance alone, Yan Zhiming was very much like a good-tempered old man. Her facial features looked harmless, and her eyes were like a gentle stream of water, completely without any negative emotions.
To be fair, it was indeed not bad to have such a master. She could almost tolerate all of Meng Jiuge’s out-of-line behavior and back up some of her simple ideas.
But no matter how Ling Yilin looked at Yan Zhiming, she found her displeasing. She always felt that her gentle appearance and temper were just a disguise. Maybe her heart was a very, very bad person!
【Master, if the plot has not deviated too much, Yan Zhiming is a very good master.】
【The three disciples under her all became very successful in the end. When the evil demon awakened, they were all leading figures and played a great role in the final victory.】
【It’s just that Yan Zhiming’s own luck was a little too bad. In the end, she was chosen by the struggling evil demon as a target for possession. To completely kill the evil demon, she chose to self-destruct.】
【Yan Zhiming’s ending was even put in the textbooks later, and the Xiaoyao Sect also slowly developed because of the sacrifice of this master, Yan Zhiming!】
【The protagonist will inherit the position of the master of the Xiaoyao Sect and will eventually also become the general director of the Special Events Administration, achieving great, great achievements!】
“Is that so?” Ling Yilin couldn’t help but snort lightly, a hint of an unknown emotion in her eyes as she looked at Yan Zhiming.
【Master, are you jealous of Yan Zhiming?】
“Huh? Do I need to be jealous of her? Her cultivation is not as good as mine. What am I jealous of her for? She’s just a person who won’t live long,” Ling Yilin retorted Xiao Qi in her heart.
Xiao Qi did not make a sound, but in its opinion, its own host should be jealous of the other party. Otherwise, according to the host’s lazy and meddlesome personality, there was no reason for her to keep arguing with Yan Zhiming.
【Master, generally speaking, if the master dies, the disciple can change to another master.】
【If you don’t like Yan Zhiming, Master, why don’t you just take her place? At that time, as long as you help Yan Zhiming get revenge, you can justifiably, in the name of a senior and a benefactor, have the protagonist become your disciple.】
“Take her place? I don’t want to. I’m not interested in accepting a disciple,” Ling Yilin’s tone was a little disgusted. “Not to mention a disciple who knows that she is a delicious little snack and also likes to run around. I don’t have that much time to protect a moving little cub, nor do I have the hobby of being a mother hen.”
“Look at her. She just hugged the little fox and went to see the great demon of the fox race without any defense. Isn’t she afraid that the other party will just turn on her and eat her in one bite?”
Xiao Qi: …
Its own master was starting to be insincere again. She clearly cared a lot about Meng Jiuge. Why didn’t she seize the opportunity and accept her as a disciple?
【What you said is right, Master. Such a disobedient protagonist really can’t be your disciple.】
What else could Xiao Qi say? Of course, it had to go along with its master’s wishes!
After her strength had become stronger, her master’s temper had also become strange!
