The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 264 - 150: Return to the Rescue Center, Witch Reveals True Identity_3

"When I think of him, I recall that when the witch first arrived at the rescue center, he did indeed come to me over this matter."

"He believed that Grey Flash had no value in being rescued, better to use it for some research, perhaps able to concoct something special, with the potential for dozens of times the return."

"At that time, I was busy with official duties and did not pay any attention to him. He did not come to me again afterwards, and this matter was left unresolved."

"So..."

"In the end, it was just a verbal statement or conjecture, with no actual evidence?"

Ye Hanjun held his chin and pondered.

About three minutes later, he looked up and calmly said:

"What if I said, even without evidence, I intend to confront this man? Would Teacher Shao be willing to assist me?"

"Better to wrongly kill than to let someone go?"

Shao Yao looked at his face, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and counter-asked.

Ye Hanjun did not answer directly, but instead started again:

"With the matter of the survival test, there has been no progress so far, and I’m not willing to wait any longer."

"The purpose of this hidden hand includes kidnapping Miss Xinfei and killing me - There must be a reason."

"Now that a suspect has emerged, I can’t rest unless I pursue an in-depth investigation."

"Jiaoyun is my assistant, and she almost lost her life in the test. How could I not help?"

Shao Yao’s jade fingers were folded together, lightly asking:

"Only... without evidence, what do you intend to do?"

"Two plans."

Ye Hanjun raised two fingers, "First, I serve as bait and personally test the scholar."

"As soon as I probe his clues, you must appear on time to protect me."

"This plan has some merits, but it is too risky."

Shao Yao disagreed:

"The contract spirit of this superior researcher does not excel in combat, but that does not mean it cannot fight."

"No matter what, he is a 3rd Order Patron. The jade infant fetus... I am afraid we won’t be able to rescue in time."

"Consistent with my thoughts."

Ye Hanjun spread his hands, his eyes showed a hint of sharpness, and he firmly said:

"So, let’s go with plan two."

"We indeed don’t have direct evidence, but Nie Zhuo has a motive."

"He has money, he has the ability to hire the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group."

"He can also get the materials of the academy test to assist the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group to hunt better, which is also something he can accomplish."

"All of these combined are enough for the Academy to take seriously."

"The only thing to consider is the value of his formulae and his personal worth."

"Yes, he is nearly a hundred years old."

Shao Yao sighed lightly:

"His promotion to the 4th Order will not be too far off."

"Once promoted, the ’scholar’ will start to reap huge rewards, regardless of the position he switches to..."

"Such a person is an absolute talent to the academy, easily discarded... how likely?"

"So the situation is simple."

Ye Hanjun gave a gentle smile, calmly saying:

"Does his entire worth equate to my existence, Wang Xinfei’s existence, the existence of the two senior mentors, Tong Zhi, the existence of the deceased students and assistant teachers....?"

"As long as we can clarify the answer to this problem, things will be easy..."

The sound of Ye Hanjun’s voice lightly fell in the room.

Falling into Shen Jiaoyun’s ears, it echoed like rumbling thunder.

Thinking of those students who were still so young, thinking of those partners she had worked with.

And also, the anger of that night, the despair of that night...

Shen Jiaoyun took a deep breath, her teeth grinding audibly.

"I don’t believe his value can outweigh so many of us!"

"I also don’t believe if it’s really Nie Zhuo who was involved, once the academy validates it to be true, they will still let him go!"

"Don’t underestimate human nature."

Shao Yao gently pressed the air, signaling Shen Jiaoyun to calm down.

"The dead students, assistant teachers, it’s a pity indeed."

"And the disabled Master Tong, Teacher Zhi, it’s even more lamentable."

"But these things have already happened. Without actual evidence, it’s not so simple to shake Nie Zhuo’s value in the eyes of the academy leaders."

"What about Wang Xinfei? She’s backed by the Wang Family!"

The speed of Shen Jiaoyun’s speech unconsciously quickened.

As if Nie Zhuo had already become her established enemy, she wanted to avenge the deceased people no matter what.

"The Wang Family is on the verge of defeat."

"Furthermore, as long as Nie Zhuo is promoted to the 4th Order, it would be easy for him to obtain a title in Blue Frog Kingdom."

Shao Yao shook her head and said:

"Again, we only suspect at the moment, we don’t have the ability to shake things up."

"Just based on these to make a move on Nie Zhuo, harming the enemy a thousand times over, but damaging ourselves two thousand times, there’s no need."

"Why not factor me in as well?"

Ye Hanjun smiled, "I don’t believe that after all this time, Teacher Shao doesn’t know I’m an Active Awakener."

"Even if I know, so what?"

Shao Yao blinked, curiously saying:

"You didn’t sign a cooperation agreement with the academy, so the academy didn’t give you extra resources, it’s quite ’unfamiliar’."

"But Nie Zhuo is different, able to get a lot of resources to support, it must be a deep binding relationship."

"If you want to compare it this way, I’m starting to worry about the future of the Canghai Pavilion."

Ye Hanjun held a bit of a teasing smile, unhurriedly saying:
