Chapter 928 - 928
Chapter 928 Lucianne, I've Already Withdrawn You from the Club
“Be more specific! Where is it? Are you talking about the laboratory ruins within the Secret Realm?”
At this moment, they couldn't care about mocking or watching the fun anymore.
Laboratory ruins within the Secret Realm!
This was good stuff!
Inside, there were research records about the Grand Spellbook, and maybe even special materials left over from experiments.
Although they might not necessarily understand those materials, it didn't mean others couldn't understand them.
Before facing real difficulties, everyone had an inexplicable confidence, feeling that they were geniuses.
The Witch Academy side was happy thinking they could reconstruct the Grand Spellbook's data, while the Wizards were excited to pursue knowledge; any knowledge could bring them a qualitative leap in power.
Even the Elves and Holy Angels attached great importance to this.
Although they wouldn't chase after knowledge like Wizards, precious things would never lose their value.
At the very least, they could just sell it to the Wizards or Witches.
But just when they wanted to continue asking, Ai En Gailand had already fainted.
Whether it was the battle and breakout in the Secret Realm, or being forcibly changed gender by Lucianne with a Magic Power Source and wildly humiliated these days, and finally being forcibly calmed down by a mental calming spell after coming out, these were all repeated squeezes on her spirit.
It was already a miracle that she could escape while conscious.
Seeing that the mental state of these four people was not good and no valuable information could be asked, they had to decide to let these few people recuperate first.
“Don't worry, our Witch Academy will provide you with the best treatment environment.”
Although everyone was surprised by this sudden situation, they were now on the Witch Academy's home ground, so they indeed could only rely on them.
There was no need for them to refuse the Witch's kindness; what did the heavy injuries of these four people count for?
If they really wanted to be calculating... then what about the people who died inside the Secret Realm?
The reason they compromised was because every academy already knew about this matter.
If the other party told them quietly, and only the people from the Wizard Academy knew, then they wouldn't hesitate to run back to their academy with these guys for treatment.
But unfortunately, that wasn't possible.
Moreover, now that Ai En Gailand had been Witchified, the Witch Academy also had a reason to forcibly keep her.
Even if they attacked based on the issue of Witchification, it would at most be a war of words without any gain.
So it was better to let the Witches treat them, and then everyone getting the news immediately would be more cost-effective.
“This is natural.”
As the Vice President of Wan Shi Wu, Xing Anlei naturally took the lead in being responsible for this matter.
After checking that Ai En Gailand had indeed completed the Witchification, she didn't say anything more.
She just silently came to the side of the other few people whose conditions were extremely poor, reaching out with a Blessing Spell to reduce some of their pain.
“Students, presumptuous to ask, but do you know who stuffed the Magic Power Source into Ai En Gailand and turned him into a Prospective Witch?”
“It's... it's Tan Han...”
Feeling a trace of warmth from the Blessing Spell, although the other party's voice was hoarse, they still responded to Xing Anlei's question.
And this answer naturally made many people frown.
Tan Han... many people still had an impression of this name, especially the Witch Academy side.
And now, they had become a huge problem in the Secret Realm.
If spreading rumors that Tan Han joined forces with the Ancient Glacial Ice to harm students before was a convenient frame-up.
Then now that they really did so, they couldn't laugh anymore.
At this moment, as a member of Wan Shi Wu, Xing Anlei also clarified immediately, distancing the Witch Academy from Tan Han.
They represented Wan Shi Wu and the Witch's Secret Realm Club; Tan Han was merely a fragment holder.
After sending away these "heavily injured people," Xing Anlei also immediately found a place with no one around to contact the president of Wan Shi Wu, Ming Xueming.
After simply communicating and describing the situation to the other party, Ming Xueming also fell silent.
“Yes... that student named Ai En Gailand had the Magic Power Source stuffed in by Tan Han, so... do you want to try?”
Xing Anlei lowered her voice at the end and asked.
“Arrange things at the infirmary. I'll handle the rest. If it doesn't work, I'll contact you again.”
Ming Xueming on the other end of the communication thought for a while and then said.
“Mhm.”
Xing Anlei nodded and hung up the communication.
Then, she made another call.
“Hello, this is Xing Anlei. There will be four heavily injured students at the infirmary later. They are from the Wizard Academy. Take good care of them. They just came out of the Secret Realm heavily injured and might have a Sleeping Curse with a delayed outbreak on them. Check if there are any other Transcendent means. No examination was done on-site. With such heavy injuries, they will probably be in a coma for a few days?”
“Just one day? They are all very distinguished students from other academies who came to our school for exchange. Everyone should prioritize their health. We cannot use forceful means to wake them up. They also know some important intelligence. What if some stimulating potions or spells damage their brains and memories? How many days?”
“Four or five days? Fine, I got it. I will bear the pressure for you.”
Just as Xing Anlei was anxious to arrange various matters here, Ming Xueming, who received the news, was also waiting for a reply.
Her gaze looked at the private chat interface unfolded by the Seed of Great Knowledge, and one finger tapped rhythmically on the back of her other hand.
Ming Xueming knew very well that perhaps they couldn't get along with Tan Han, but for some things, there was no need to act on impulse; interest was also an indicator to measure relationships.
Tan Han: What's the matter?
Very quickly, a reply message popped up on the chat interface.
And Ming Xueming also replied quickly.
Ming Xueming: I heard you gave a student from the Wizard Academy a Magic Power Source.
Ming Xueming: I wanted to confirm this matter with you.
Tan Han: Just a personal grudge, you contacted me just for this?
Ming Xueming: I don't remember you having any grudge with this young man named Ai En Gailand.
Ming Xueming: And you shouldn't be such a vengeful person.
Tan Han: Oh, the one with the grudge is Lucianne.
I was just helping out.
Tan Han: After all, you also know, both were once students of the Wizard Academy.
It's normal to have some grudges and mockery.
Ming Xueming: So it's like this?
Ming Xueming: Lucianne is actually with you.
Tan Han: Of course. You all gave up on her, I picked her up. Who else would she follow if not me?
Looking at the message sent by Tan Han, Ming Xueming's expression didn't change at all.
Regarding the team giving up on Lucianne in the Secret Realm, it belonged to a very normal operation.
What surprised her was that the other party could actually be met by Tan Han.
But no matter what, Ming Xueming had already classified this coincidence as the last struggle of a Child of Destiny.
Tan Han: If you contacted me just to talk about this kind of thing, I won't keep you company.
Ming Xueming: Please wait.
Ming Xueming: From the mouths of those few people who came out, I learned that they seem to know the news about the laboratory ruins in the Secret Realm.
Tan Han: Don't talk nonsense, I don't know.
Ming Xueming: I haven't asked you anything yet.
Tan Han: Heh.
Ming Xueming: How about we speak frankly?
Ming Xueming: You should know some news, right?
Tan Han: You think I will tell you?
Ming Xueming: You can say directly what you want.
The value of intelligence has a time limit.
After today, maybe it will be worthless tomorrow.
Tan Han: You actually didn't ask those few guys who escaped?
Ming Xueming: Oh They are injured too heavily, probably will be in a coma for a few days.
Ming Xueming: Also, your Sleeping Curse is really vicious.
Tan Han: ?
Ming Xueming: Just joking.
I wonder what you want?
Tan Han: Grand Spellbook fragments.
Tan Han: Dare you give them?
Ming Xueming: We dare to give, dare you take?
Ming Xueming: Actually, I'm very curious what you want so many fragments for.
Ming Xueming: Even if it can enhance the strength of the Ancient Glacial Ice, this is just a desperate struggle.
Tan Han: Heh... We entered this Secret Realm, isn't this what we wanted?
Is it any of your business?
Ming Xueming: True.
Not asking what it's for is the most basic accomplishment in a transaction.
Our club only has one Heart of Cold Tide left. Exchanging for a location should be enough, right?
Tan Han: So poor?
A bit not enough to look at.
Ming Xueming: It's you being too greedy.
Tan Han: Then you'd better let those few guys sleep for three or four days.
Looking at Tan Han's appearance at this moment, a trace of helplessness appeared on Ming Xueming's calm face.
Ming Xueming: You name the price. One Heart of Cold Tide is all we have.
Tan Han: Share with me the location of people from other academies carrying fragments.
Ming Xueming: You are pushing your luck a bit!
Tan Han: Plus let Lucianne withdraw from the club.
She is no longer a member of your Wan Shi Wu.
Ming Xueming looked at the message sent and the message replied by the other party and fell into silence.
She still underestimated Tan Han's appetite.
Ming Xueming: What exactly are you plotting?
Tan Han: I'm not sure either (Sincerely).
***
At this moment, Ice Throne Secret Realm.
“Big Sis Little Han, just now you were...”
Seeing Tan Han's gaze somewhat distracted, Xiao You stepped forward and asked.
“Oh, it's nothing. This play earlier can be considered not exposed, it's just that someone contacted me now.”
Tan Han explained.
“Who contacted you?”
“Um... The president of Wan Shi Wu, Ming Xueming.”
As Tan Han said this name, Lucianne, who was silent on the side, suddenly raised her head and looked towards Tan Han.
“They really dare to do it...”
Tan Han sighed, “They are asking me for the specific location of the dream laboratory ruins.”
“Wait, why? Didn't we already let those guys go?”
Shi Ruizhi asked somewhat puzzledly.
“Yeah But due to unknown reasons and some operations by the club, those guys probably have to lie in the infirmary for two or three days. They locked onto me from the brief messages and are now contacting me to exchange intelligence.”
“Then this... what about our plan? Aren't we supposed to let this news attract their attention? What's the use of just revealing it to the Witch Academy?”
Shi Ruizhi asked somewhat anxiously.
“But they are using fragments and the approximate locations of fragment holders to exchange with us. Aren't you tempted?”
Tan Han looked at Shi Ruizhi and asked.
“Ah this...”
“It's just the usual style of the club.”
At this moment, Lucianne had the most right to speak.
“Lucianne, if I let you leave Wan Shi Wu, what do you think?”
At this time, Tan Han suddenly asked.
The question pointed directly at Lucianne herself.
“I...”
“I exposed my identity by helping you stuff the Magic Power Source into Ai En Gailand.”
After all, Lucianne didn't have the ability to touch a Magic Power Source.
She was still in a lower grade; her Mental Power didn't qualify to touch a Magic Power Source, nor did she have the talent and affinity of Self-generating Magic Power to endow her with Magic Power.
Naturally, she couldn't personally stuff the Magic Power Source into Ai En Gailand.
“By the way, Lucianne, what are you worrying about? Resources, status, reputation, identity, or family?”
Shi Ruizhi asked.
“Haven't all these been said already... But I'm not afraid of having a terrible reputation or being penniless... but my family... my parents, under the support of the family, they have already...”
For a moment, Lucianne didn't know how to explain.
Thinking back to when she was first abducted to the Witch Academy, she called her family and was scolded severely by her parents.
They said what a trash academy the Witch Academy was...
Later, under the intervention of the club, they enjoyed a status transformation they had never enjoyed before.
When she picked up the phone again, the other side was full of parents' praises... educating her to be obedient, to build more connections in the academy and so on.
And every now and then, they would tell her what they did again, how they had never enjoyed such treatment, and that their son had become successful.
Even if their son had become a daughter, it didn't matter.
In front of interests, power, identity, and status, everything didn't matter.
Family was the entanglement she couldn't cut or sort out now.
She clearly knew such a family was really rotten... but with a sentence “they are my own parents,” a sentence “my own son has become successful”... how could she sever the relationship?
The most difficult relationship in the world was this kind of family affection that was like boiling a frog in warm water.
They couldn't enjoy the so-called true happiness, nor were they forced to the determination of completely breaking off after an outburst, forever suppressing like this...
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
Even if they couldn't empathize, they could imagine the suffering within.
“I've already withdrawn you from the club. This is one of the conditions.”
At this time, when everyone was silent, Tan Han spoke.
She chose to take the initiative to be the bad guy.
If her parents imposed harsh blame on their child because they didn't deserve their wealth, the one at fault wouldn't be Lucianne.
At this moment, Shi Ruizhi looked at Tan Han in surprise.
She didn't expect Tan Han to make the choice for Lucianne so decisively.
She didn't quite understand.
But Xiao You... after the shock, she quickly figured it out.
Then, the two of them looked at Lucianne again, seeming curious about her reaction at this moment.
And Lucianne's reaction at this moment... was no reaction, only some relief.
When someone made the choice for her, she had been shocked, delighted, afraid, worried, angry, regretful...
But in the end, she didn't say anything, as if all emotions, after intertwining, completely woke her up with a bang.
“Thank you...”
At this moment, Lucianne said words that made Shi Ruizhi even more confused.
Lucianne actually thanked Tan Han?
“No problem. Want to try joining the Bakery Club? A small club, not many members. The main members are probably... just the few of us here, and... Little Han.”
