Chapter 163: Final Interpretation

During these two months.Blondie's family did indeed give him benefits.

At first they wanted to give money... but then they considered that giving money seemed too materialistic, wouldn't that be equivalent to buying their Blondie's life?

So they changed their approach.

Decided to owe Su Zhan a favor.

They gave him a phone number.

Said, if he had needs in the future, he could dial this number, and their family would repay this favor.

They would do their utmost to repay this favor, but the condition couldn't be something that endangered society or violated their bottom line.

In short, it was a promise.

Seeing this, Su Zhan quickly called Wang Mingyuan to act as a witness.

Afraid that the other party might just be making an oral promise and later go back on their word.

Sigh, actually compared to a promise... he preferred money.

With promises, if the other party reneges, there's nothing he can do about it.

They had conditions - no harming society or violating their bottom line.

These two statements leave a lot of room for interpretation.

In any case, the final interpretation rights belong to them.

But money is something tangible that you actually get.

And it's essentially buying Blondie's life, with such a big family, it should be at least tens of millions, right? Otherwise, how could it match your status?

Thinking this way, he arrived at the cafeteria.

Having lunch with his teammates.

Su Zhan sighed repeatedly, looking troubled.

"Oh, what's bothering our Brother Su?"

Liu Ziming was the first to speak up.

Su Zhan shook his head: "It's nothing."

"That's good, but if you don't have problems, I do."

Liu Ziming pretended to look worried: "These past two months have been killing me with the competition. With such high talent, you still practice like crazy, how are we supposed to sleep peacefully?"

Xu Hao nodded.

Feng Jue and Xie Xi didn't refute it either, which amounted to tacit agreement.

The intense training over these two months had put a lot of pressure on them too.

No choice, the competition was just too damn fierce.

Su Zhan gave a helpless smile at this.

His pressure was much greater than his teammates'.

Dual identity.

Aberrant bloodline, Awakener identity.

If this were exposed, it would be catastrophic.

Could Vermilion Bird Academy tolerate a monster?

Those teachers and students who now smile at him - would they still have the same expression after learning the truth?

Get stronger.

Only by getting stronger would he have a voice.

Only with sufficient strength would he qualify to negotiate terms.

All these resources, these privileges, these smiles - they're all built on the identity of "Vermilion Bird Academy's genius student."

If one day...

"Brother Su? The food's getting cold."

Xu Hao's voice brought him back to reality.

"Mm."

Su Zhan stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth, tasting like chewing wax.

However, what struck him as strange was.

Why has Qin Bai been so quiet recently?

Logically speaking, with his personality of being irreconcilably opposed to Aberrants, even if Ye Hongyu refused him once, he should still find other methods.

Truly a strange matter.

...

In the Vermilion Bird Academy Dean's office.

Ye Hongyu sat at the deep red solid wood desk.

Qin Bai stood before the desk, white-haired, wearing silver earrings on both ears.

His hands pressed on the desktop, fists clenched.

"Dean Ye, initially I applied to you for permission to investigate Su Zhan."

Qin Bai's voice was very low, carrying obvious anger: "You refused at the time, saying this matter required careful consideration, asking me to wait a month. I waited.

After a month, you said wait another month, so I waited again.

Two months later, you want me to wait another month, and I'm still waiting.

Now three months have already passed, and you're telling me to wait another month - aren't you just toying with me!?"

Ye Hongyu interlocked her fingers resting on her knees, expression calm: "Qin Bai, this matter involves many complexities and requires careful consideration."

"Careful?"

Qin Bai sneered coldly: "Su Zhan's suspicion is already very obvious. I've long listed all the evidence - the suspicion is very strong. Such a danger should be secretly eliminated!"

"You said it yourself - that's just suspicion."

Ye Hongyu looked up at him.

"But that's already enough!"

Qin Bai said through gritted teeth: "These conditions clearly meet the requirements for investigation, yet you keep blocking me here. Isn't this protectionism?"

The office fell into brief silence.

Ye Hongyu sighed softly: "Qin Bai, do you have solid evidence?"

"As long as you approve my investigation request, evidence will naturally emerge."

Qin Bai straightened up: "But every time I propose formally investigating Su Zhan, you use 'affecting the academy's reputation' to brush me off."

"It's not brushing you off."

Ye Hongyu stood up and walked to the window: "This is about the student's reputation, and most importantly, I believe in Student Su Zhan."

Qin Bai stared at her back: "I see now - you're determined to protect a potential threat?"

"Watch your wording."

Ye Hongyu turned around: "I'm not protecting anyone, but investigations must follow procedures. We can't ruin a student's future based solely on your personal suspicions."

"Fine, fine, fine!"

Qin Bai laughed in extreme anger.

Ye Hongyu frowned deeply: "Qin Bai, watch your attitude. You're speaking to your superior right now."

Actually, Qin Bai wasn't wrong.

She was indeed protecting Su Zhan.

She was indeed betting that Su Zhan would succeed.

Qin Bai's attitude wasn't unexpected.

She still understood this person somewhat.

He fundamentally didn't care who you were - if her strength weren't superior to his.

He might actually have taken action.

Yes, speaking of taking action.

A dangerous glint appeared in Ye Hongyu's eyes.

With Qin Bai's personality, he was destined not to give up investigating Su Zhan.

Continuing like this.

Would bring very big trouble to both Su Zhan and herself.

Rather than this...

Better to make him completely disappear!

Ye Hongyu silently weighed the options in her heart.

Qin Bai, SSS-grade Life Soul Awakener, Abyss Realm peak, breaking through to Ocean Realm is only a matter of time.

Su Zhan... the known danger to Daxia, future height... is unknown.

But since she's decided to place her bets on Su Zhan.

Then letting Daxia lose one Qin Bai is no big deal.

Ye Hongyu's gaze locked onto Qin Bai.

Her right hand hidden behind her back.

Spiritual energy was quietly gathering.

Qin Bai didn't notice, or perhaps Ye Hongyu hid it very well.

Just at this moment.

"Knock knock knock..."

The door was knocked.

Ye Hongyu quietly dispersed the spiritual energy in her hand: "Who is it?"

"It's me, teacher."

Wang Mingyuan's voice came from outside.

Ye Hongyu said: "Come in."

Wang Mingyuan pushed the door open and entered, feeling somewhat surprised to see Qin Bai also here.

Seeing this, Qin Bai didn't stay longer: "Dean Ye, Teacher Wang, since you teacher and student have things to discuss, there's no need for me to be here. Until we meet again."

Having said that.

Without waiting for Ye Hongyu and Wang Mingyuan's agreement, he strode out of the office.

Wang Mingyuan silently closed the door and turned to look at Ye Hongyu: "Teacher, was he here again wanting to investigate Su Zhan?"

Ye Hongyu nodded, raised her hand and waved, and a light red spiritual energy soundproof barrier appeared, enveloping the two of them.
