125: Chapter 125 I'm also willing to form a death pact with you, why do you never ask me?
Teacher Su continued, "Also, regarding this Corrosion Energy fusion reactor in the village, judging by its model, let alone powering a small village, it would be more than enough to power a small city."
"What kind of equipment requires a Corrosion Energy fusion reactor for power? This village is definitely not as simple as it looks on the surface."
Sister Su said, "Did you look at the fusion reactor carefully?"
"What do you mean?"
"For example, the manufacturer logo—is it the Zhenxi Group?"
Teacher Su was stunned. "How did you know?"
"Because the equipment at the water supply station is all provided by companies under our Su Family, and the only company in our family capable of manufacturing Corrosion Energy fusion reactors is the Zhenxi Group."
Teacher Su's expression darkened. "I understand now. This is all the work of our family."
Sister Su nodded, then looked at Yun Zhuo. "Xiao Zhuo, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Although we have now confirmed the relationship between Nun Village and your family, what is the goal?"
Sister Su said, "It must be that Principal Ji's plan has taken effect. Su Zixing is my father's man, and since he initiated the mission, it means it is my father's intention."
"And then?"
"And then..."
Seeing Sister Su begin to ponder, Yun Zhuo picked up the conversation. "Then, have me choose a War Princess to deal with the upcoming freshman assessment. Just as you said, Sister Su, Ji Shuyue's plan has already taken effect. My Father-in-law does not want me to die at the hands of Chen Qi so quickly."
"Don't you already have a sister? Why do you need to form a contract with another War Princess?" Teacher Su asked with a sour tone.
"According to school rules, Sister Su is a teaching assistant, so even if she is my wingman, she cannot enter the examination hall. Therefore, I need to find another one. Although the nuns here are not students of the school, according to the same school rules, as long as a War Princess from outside the school becomes my wingman, she can be admitted without an entrance exam."
"Then who do you plan to find?"
"Who do you hope I find?" Yun Zhuo asked back.
"That's not right." Sister Su interrupted. "The nuns in the village are all ordinary people; how can they be your wingman?"
Yun Zhuo held Teacher Su's hand and smiled. "Teacher Su was also an ordinary person before."
Sister Su looked at the two of them and only then realized that Xiao Zhuo could enhance a War Princess's talent.
"Then who do you plan to find?"
"I think you two should broaden your perspective and look at the bigger picture. For instance, besides dealing with the upcoming assessment, did my Father-in-law send me here to challenge the War Princesses to test my abilities, or does he want me to work for him for free? To turn all the nuns here into high-ranking War Princesses and then use them for his purposes."
Without waiting for them to answer, Yun Zhuo continued, "I think the latter is more likely. He wants me to cultivate War Princesses for him."
Teacher Su said, "But didn't you say that once their talent is enhanced by you, the contract is forcibly converted into a death pact? In other words, no matter how many War Princesses you cultivate, they will all be yours, and no one else can form a contract with them. If that's the case, will my father agree?"
Yun Zhuo smiled bitterly. "If that's the case, I'll be even more miserable. Before, he might have let me marry you and become a live-in son-in-law in exchange for my services. But now, if he finds out that only I can form contracts with the War Princesses I cultivate, I might not even have the qualification to be a live-in son-in-law and would only be reduced to a tool in his hands that obeys him one hundred percent."
"Then what should we do now?"
Teacher Su only had to think about it for a moment to know that Yun Zhuo was not fear-mongering.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt how ridiculous her earlier jealousy was.
"Make money. With money, everything is easy to handle; without money, nothing can be done."
"Don't you want to form contracts with more War Princesses?" Teacher Su explained, "I mean, if we could possess the power to make my parents hesitate to act against us, wouldn't that be more useful than money?"
"To be honest, the nuns of Nun Village are all good War Princesses in my eyes, but we don't know their exact relationship with your father. Let me put it this way: I have to suspect that they were all mass-produced by your father using biotechnology. Whether they will be on our side is another question, so it is too early to talk about forming contracts with more War Princesses now."
Sister Su said, "What is your basis for this?"
"Their talents are like they were copied from a single template. Over a thousand people, all identical. If they weren't mass-produced, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?"
"Are you talking about cloning?"
"No, it's not the same as cloning. It's more like a type of artificially created human that has undergone gene editing."
"Sister, do you know of any biological companies in our family that have this kind of technology?"
Sister Su shook her head. "I don't know, but I think what Xiao Zhuo says makes sense. If the nuns here are all created by a biological company, then it would be very dangerous for Xiao Zhuo to form contracts with them. This would be equivalent to installing a biological surveillance device next to Xiao Zhuo."
After speaking, she looked at Yun Zhuo, hoping he would take her words to heart and stop getting entangled with that Di Zhenzhen. That woman had major issues. Perhaps she was the War Princess her father had secretly designated for him.
From the moment they entered the village, that woman had been actively approaching Xiao Zhuo, not at all like a stranger meeting him for the first time. Unless she had received some instructions and was approaching him with a purpose.
"Did you hear that?" Teacher Su patted Yun Zhuo. "Especially that Di Zhenzhen, didn't you notice she was being too familiar? This completely contradicts her persona."
Yun Zhuo couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of persona does she have in your minds?"
"Strong on the inside, low-key and unostentatious on the outside—how could such a person be so familiar?"
Sister Su nodded, clearly holding the same opinion.
"Xiao Zhuo, I think Little Yuan is right. Why don't we leave now? If my father asks, we'll just say the nuns in this village are no good, and let him give up on this idea."
"We can't leave yet."
"Why?"
"Di Zhenzhen invited me to attend their dharma assembly tonight, which is equivalent to their village's religious gathering."
"So, you didn't listen to a single word my sister and I just said? It was all for nothing?"
"Sister Su, you've misunderstood. I just feel that since she asked me to attend the dharma assembly tonight, she must have something to tell me."
"What could she possibly have to say?"
"I don't know, that's why I'm going to take a look. Even if they force me to form a contract with her, as long as I don't help her enhance her talent, won't that be enough to make your father give up?"
"But..."
Teacher Su wanted to say something else, but Yun Zhuo grabbed her hand. "Have you forgotten about the incense burner?"
"I..." Teacher Su hesitated for a moment, then finally lowered her head. "Alright then. If anything happens, be sure to summon me and my sister."
Sister Su looked at the two of them. She was curious about the incense burner matter, but she also knew that this was a secret exclusive to him and Little Yuan.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy, along with some indescribable sadness.
But on second thought, not to mention that Xiao Zhuo was Little Yuan's boyfriend, they had also formed a death pact, whereas she only had an ordinary contract with Xiao Zhuo.
The fact that he was willing to discuss the Nun Village matter with her was already giving her a lot of Face.
If he didn't tell her about the incense burner, it could only mean that the secret of the incense burner was even more important.
But then again, I could also form a death pact with you. We've been contracted for so long, why have you never asked me if I'm willing?
Thinking of this, she suddenly mustered up the courage and said, "Um, Xiao Zhuo, is there still room for my talent to be enhanced?"
