445: Chapter 445 Ilta

"Hello, I am Doctor Alan, she is Doctor Yirta, and this is my assistant Geli."

The wizard in the white coat smiled at Nie Ning and the others as he introduced them with a hint of excitement.

Nie Ning gave him a strange look.

Although the other party might have been very careful, he still caught a trace of fanaticism deep in his eyes.

'It seems I need to be a bit careful from now on.'

"Hello, I don't think I need to introduce myself, do I?"

Nie Ning stepped forward, shook hands with him, and said with a smile.

"No need."

Alan pulled out a small white tablet the size of a book.

As magic power was channeled into it, Nie Ning's various data appeared on it.

"Next, we will perform some mental evaluation tests on you. They are mainly used to detect your Spiritual Power stability, pollution resistance, and physical aberration, and won't involve your privacy."

Alan explained as he checked Nie Ning's information.

Nie Ning couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

If it were only assessing mental stability, it wouldn't be a problem. But checking for physical aberrations would inevitably involve genetic issues.

Low-level Transcendents might not necessarily notice Supernatural Adaptability, but that didn't mean a powerful organization like this couldn't detect it.

One only had to look at the deity Nales to know; based purely on aura, Nales could tell he didn't belong to the Saint-Ville World. If these people obtained samples of his body tissue, it might not turn out well.

Seeing the change in Nie Ning's expression, Alan knew what he was thinking.

Such people were not uncommon, especially clever wizards who worried about this and that all day long, as if the whole world was out to get them.

"Don't worry. We have specialized instruments. We are only detecting the level of Corruption. We don't need to take samples from your body for research."

Alan said with a smile, gesturing for Nie Ning not to worry.

After all, Liuguang City was a legitimate organization, and not everyone was qualified to make them lower their standards.

However, Nie Ning was clearly within this category.

A heavily corrupted individual who looked completely fine was a rare and valuable research subject. The only problem was how to convince Nie Ning to stay for experiments.

But Nie Ning was starting to regret coming.

Besides bringing Korda here this time, there was actually one more thing he needed to do, which was to visit Hardy's family on his behalf.

Since it was on the way, stopping by shouldn't have been much of an issue.

But perhaps due to his paranoia, Nie Ning always felt that others had bad intentions, and the fanaticism that had flashed deep in the other man's eyes earlier made him exceptionally vigilant.

"Mushroom head?"

While Nie Ning was lost in thought, Amivika called out to Doctor Yirta, who was organizing files.

Yirta's face darkened with frustration. She didn't even bother to look up at Amivika, simply acting as if she hadn't heard.

But at this moment, Amivika suddenly leaned over to Yirta's desk, staring intently at Yirta's face. The more she looked, the more she resembled someone she used to know.

"Have you stared enough, Teacher Amivika?!"

Yirta finally couldn't take it anymore and looked up at Amivika.

"It really is you! It's been so long. Why did you change your mushroom haircut? It doesn't look as good as before."

Amivika cupped Yirta's small face with both hands and turned it side to side to examine her.

Of course, it was mainly because she didn't look as festive without the mushroom haircut.

"Enough!"

Yirta brushed Amivika's hands away, her face dark with annoyance.

It was precisely because of that mushroom haircut that she was often ridiculed at Yishi Mansion, which was why she had come to Liuguang City in the first place.

"Oh, you know how to get angry now? Why didn't you get angry back then?"

Amivika looked at Yirta with amusement and said.

She clearly remembered telling Yirta to beat up those who mocked her. Back then, Yirta's strength far exceeded that of her peers among the Transcendents, yet she was as quiet as a mute, never saying a word.

Yirta pouted. "The past is the past, the present is the present!"

After all, she had grown prettier now, her strength was much greater, and having interacted with more people and things, her temper had naturally grown as well.

"I remember Helian sent you abroad to study. Why are you here?"

Amivika didn't press further on the mushroom head topic, but wondered instead why Yirta was in Liuguang City.

Although Yishi Mansion was developing well, Helian was very forward-thinking and would often send Yishi Mansion's students to other places for exchange programs and study.

Of course, it wasn't to steal techniques, but in an open and honorable way, mostly to factions friendly with Yishi Mansion.

"Mansion Master Helian felt that I had a talent for emerging magic energy technology, so he sent me to Liuguang City."

Yirta grabbed Amivika's hand, which was trying to scratch her head, and explained with a dark face.

Hearing this, Nie Ning's eyes flashed with a meaningful look.

Although he didn't know who Yirta was, judging solely by her status as a former Yishi Mansion student, Helian's foresight was probably much deeper than he had thought.

To prevent Yishi Mansion from going extinct due to an accident, he had even come up with the strategy of sending outstanding students abroad to study.

One must know that although times were progressing, it didn't mean one could do whatever they wanted.

Let alone an exceptionally gifted student, a genius who, as Amivika's student, could surpass her teacher in strength.

This was a rare, non-renewable resource, and there was always the fear that once sent out, they wouldn't return. Therefore, most factions would never do such a thing.

Especially for factions like Liuguang City, students would often develop a yearning for them on their own.

Even if there were exchanges, most would send them to factions of equal standing to prevent students from having second thoughts as much as possible.

...

"By the way, Teacher, why are you here?"

To stop Amivika from moving around, Yirta forced her down into a chair.

"I've remarried. You don't need to call me Teacher anymore."

Amivika said bluntly.

"What?!"

Hearing this, a shocked expression appeared on Yirta's face.

Amivika and Helian were the model couple of Yishi Mansion. Both of them had very good personalities and took great care of the students of Yishi Mansion.

In the entire Yishi Mansion, there was almost no one who didn't like Amivika and Helian.

But now you're telling me you remarried?

"How could you remarry? Did something happen to the Mansion Master?"

Yirta said, her eyes misting over.

"Nothing happened to Helian."

Amivika shook her head slightly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

News of Yishi Mansion probably hadn't reached here yet. It was better to let Yirta find out about this matter on her own.

"But..."

Yirta was somewhat skeptical.

"He is my current husband. What do you think, isn't he handsomer than Helian?"

Amivika suddenly pointed at Nie Ning, who was cracking melon seeds with Doctor Belen, and said with a laugh.

"Impossible!"

Yirta looked at Nie Ning, refusing to believe this was true.

She could barely even control the magic power inside her body, and the powerful pressure radiating from her made Nie Ning's body feel a bit heavier.
