Quine’s actions not only failed to stop Lorraine Tower, but even other Божественный зверьs began to gather towards Quine. Their attempts at playing with forbidden objects thoroughly enraged all the Божественный зверьs. Furthermore, countries like Xingchan were also very angry with Quine. After all, if it weren’t for them, they wouldn’t have been so passive in their previous actions.
Even though they were blocked by Фэн Юань, the other Божественный зверьs would not indefinitely treat them as enemies just because they were affected. Due to Фэн Юань siding with Great Xia, the other Божественный зверьs did not have much suspicion toward Great Xia. After all, although that guy is unreliable on ordinary matters, he is still very dependable on significant issues.
The fact is, Great Xia, on whose side Фэн Юань stands, indeed had no involvement in that chaos. Yet Xingchan and others were also victims. Even Quine, after being exposed, had to face considerable trouble. Xingchan and the other countries couldn’t quite understand what Quine was after by doing this.
"It seems they’ve quieted down a bit."
During the noon break, Фэн Юань yawned and said. Ци Чэнь looked at Фэн Юань puzzled and asked,
"How do you know? Just because they didn’t attack today?"
"Not really, the attacks still exist, but they’re much fewer compared to before. It’s quite strange, what exactly are they thinking? Disrupting and even causing chaos in Great Xia, do they think they can seize Great Xia’s territory amidst the confusion?"
Rubbing his chin, Фэн Юань was a bit doubtful of the other party’s motives. Although this chaos had Great Xia’s internal causes, Quine’s instigation was also a major factor. If it weren’t for them, this internal unrest might not have been brought to light so blatantly.
The investigators sent by the Alliance to investigate the Quine issue naturally also noticed the internal chaos within Great Xia. Although they knew what was going on, they only sent confidential warnings in letter form to the various countries within the Alliance, as openly discussing such matters would not go over well.
Countries outside the Divine Land Region initially didn’t take it seriously, but when they noticed there were hundreds of illegal organizations disturbing Great Xia, they couldn’t sit still either. After all, Great Xia had been cracking down hard on these illegal organizations, yet such severe issues still existed; what about their own countries?
Because of Фэн Юань’s presence, Maomu City was avoided by them. The only possible troublemaker, Quine, now seemed too preoccupied to bother with Фэн Юань’s area.
"Has Агунас not returned yet?"
Dou Yanlan glanced at the hesitating Фэн Юань and couldn’t help but ask, although she knew Агунас was supposed to be involved in resolving the Quine matter, she didn’t expect Агунас to not even leave a doppelganger behind.
"The situation over there is not too good. At least for now, they haven’t been able to breach Quine’s set defenses. Although Socrates has expressed the possibility of neutralizing them internally, many people don’t actually know about this matter. Now that they know the truth and choose to side with them, but... handling such things isn’t simple."
Shaking his head, Фэн Юань said helplessly, whether or not this was an attempt by the other side to buy time, Агунас and the others could not possibly ignore it forcefully. Not to mention attacking Socrates directly was out of the question; they themselves couldn’t accept wanton killing of innocents, unless... rescue was utterly impossible.
"Can’t be ruthless, huh? Hmph, really... if the other side blends into the crowd to evade pursuit, leaving only scapegoats behind, what would they do then?"
Sneering, Veronia said disdainfully. In the Mythical Era, such tactics were all too common. Even it had encountered many such situations, so it felt their hesitation was overly sentimental.
"Umm... as it goes nowadays, taking actions similar to a purge without thinking can have very serious consequences. Moreover, it’s not entirely without alternatives right now."
Thinking of the ghosts in the Yin World, Фэн Юань believed that even if they couldn’t completely sift through them, retaining the leading figures shouldn’t be an issue. The other side wanted to preserve Quine’s legacy, not this unclear, dangerous plan, so they should cooperate and assist.
Thinking of those ghosts, Фэн Юань looked at Veronia and said,
"Can you ask Агунас if it wants to take the Endu ghosts over there? If not needed, just let them return to eternal rest."
"Endu ghosts? Wait a moment."
Surprised, Veronia glanced at Фэн Юань, realizing he was referring to the affairs he and Агунас handled in the Yin World yesterday. Although she heard Фэн Юань mention it last night, not having experienced it personally, she didn’t have much feeling about it and didn’t think of it at the time.
After a while, Veronia looked at Фэн Юань and said,
"It said it could consider it depending on the situation, but it’s asking if you can avoid causing a big commotion."
Looking at Фэн Юань puzzled, Veronia didn’t quite understand why Агунас would say that. After all, it’s just a few ghosts; how much commotion could they cause? Thinking for a moment, Фэн Юань shook his head and said,
"It might be a bit difficult. After all, sending them from the Yin World here is not something I understand well either. Xilnais might not know what they’ll do exactly."
The separation between Yin and Yang is not as simple as crossing a Barrier. If it were Духовные звери, it could be easier; after all, they have enough power to counter threats when crossing the Barrier. However, this involves powerless ghosts, and it’s hard to say if Xilnais might resort to the tunneling method it used before to allow the ghosts to pass.
Those aware of the plan in Quine, upon seeing the huge spatial rift and the imposing Xilnais appearing at the border, couldn’t help but appear solemn. An existence capable of ruining the plan had appeared. Though they had calculated the threat of the Божественный зверьs, including Lorraine Tower, as for Xilnais...
Are you kidding? They might not even know Xilnais’s name, let alone more detailed information. But this terrifying oppressive presence was awe-inspiring even through the screen. Unfortunately, as executors of this plan, they weren’t the least bit afraid, regardless of the variables present. They believed they would emerge victorious in the end!
Фэн Юань didn’t know that Xilnais’s presence at Quine’s border would have such a significant impact. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. No matter the other party’s methods, he could easily crush them.
"I didn’t expect the buns at this place to be surprisingly good. But... hey! Ци Чэнь, how about we go to that alley near the second middle school tonight?"
Eating the buns, Фэн Юань narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered something and looked at Ци Чэнь asking. The other party paused for a moment before realizing Фэн Юань’s purpose, thought for a moment, and said,
"It’s all the same for us, but won’t this affect your actions?"
Due to classes being suspended at the academy, they didn’t have any courses scheduled at night. Although their patrol tasks were supposed to be all day, they didn’t include the nights. As freshmen, they were not required to participate in night patrols like the seniors.
Even if someone counted on the night patrol subsidies, it wasn’t feasible. Not only was it a matter of ability, but there were also too many issues to pay attention to in night patrols. Without any experience, even the students from Class 1 couldn’t handle it well.
This was also why Wu Xue’s proposal to transfer the captainship to Фэн Юань was dismissed. No matter how you put it, Фэн Юань was still a freshman, and not suitable to be asked to help at night as well. Besides, that guy might not even be willing.
Thinking it over, Фэн Юань shook his head and said,
"There shouldn’t be any actions. Агунас and the others are busy dealing with the Quine affair right now. As for the current internal unrest, it’s actually just like that. Without Quine adding fuel to the fire, there’s genuinely not much to worry about."
Normally, internal conflicts aren’t absent, but they generally don’t cause a disturbance to ordinary people. It was because of Quine’s meddling this time, that such great chaos occurred. Now that things are resolved, one would think they won’t continue making a fuss. The current state of emergency likely won’t last long either.
Thinking of this, Фэн Юань yawned and said,
"I really hope this matter ends soon. Compared to attending classes, these patrol tasks are such a hassle."
"Indeed, and after all, we are students. These matters..."
Shaking her head, Dou Yanlan sighed. The fact that academy teachers also have to engage in security patrols doesn’t help. If this state continues for long, it’s not good for Great Xia. Cultivating Духовные звери requires time investment, and if too much time is wasted now, it could result in an overall weaker strength later on.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing she can do to intervene in this matter, as it involves so many issues.
