Chapter 817 Target: Moon Sunken Sea! (3k)
“What’s going on?”
Hearing the voice from the judges’ seats, the discussion below also quieted down a bit. After a moment, it became even more intense, as for them, this matter was too much to discuss.
“That seems to be someone from Imperial Capital University. Isn’t Imperial Capital University competing anymore?”
“Perhaps they feel that such a competition is meaningless? After all, Mo University has always been absent.”
Someone with keen eyes pointed out, “This doesn’t look like it. That gray-robed old man looks a bit displeased. He doesn’t look like he finds the competition boring.”
While they were discussing, the referee also came to the judges’ seats to discuss the next stage of the competition, leaving Huang Qiaoer like a proud swan, tilting her chin up and looking towards the students from Mo University below.
She scanned some students with unfriendly eyes, and a hint of contempt appeared in her beautiful eyes. With the news out, she would definitely sweep Mo City.
The female reporter who had started the live broadcast saw that the competition was about to be interrupted, and the comments in the live stream were all about boredom, so she showed some anxiety on her face…
She had just started broadcasting, and now it wasn’t going to continue?
The boss had bought the hype, and now they were telling her that after taking off her pants, she could only fart?
“Beep beep!!”
The phone suddenly rang. The female reporter was startled and looked at the message ID on her phone. She subconsciously looked up at Mr. Murong Cheng on the far right and found him making a “continue” gesture to her.
Alright, now there’s endorsement from a big shot.
“Follow up!”
Suddenly, she breathed a sigh of relief, gripped the long-handled microphone, patted the cameraman behind her, and climbed onto the stage again.
She put on her standard eight-tooth smile again, and under everyone’s gaze, she went to the front of the judges’ seats and asked the gray-robed elder with a smile:
“You are a leader from Imperial Capital University, right? What are your thoughts on student Huang Qiaoer single-handedly defeating the entire Mo City team?”
As long as the conflict was intensified, watching the two university leaders fight would definitely be interesting and attract a lot of viewership.
Hearing the words, the gray-robed elder lowered his head, his slightly green eyes fixed on the female reporter, and after a few seconds, he slowly said:
“Please leave here.”
“This…”
The female reporter did not expect to receive this answer. When she met the elder’s eyes, she felt a little trembling, but she glanced at the comments – [They’re leaving, they thought there would be drama!] [Came to watch the competition, but it’s not happening, leaving, leaving]…
The hype was also declining sharply.
She understood very well that if she left now, her newspaper would definitely not have the same hype in subsequent competitions.
So, biting the bullet, she continued to ask:
“Aren’t you going to give a victory speech?”
“Victory?”
The gray-robed elder fell silent, glanced at Director Yun beside him, and found that the latter was not paying attention to this matter at all, but was discussing how to bring the students back home.
He only felt embarrassed. For his generation, winning or losing was secondary; what mattered was saving face.
The other party’s students showed the passion of the previous generation, which was the true university students. Regardless of medical skills, their behavior alone was far superior to his students.
The female reporter’s word “victory” undoubtedly stimulated his pride.
At this moment, Mr. Murong Cheng also slightly turned his face, curled his lips, and appropriately ‘added insult to injury’: “Mr. Secretary, student Huang has brought glory to our school this time. Do you think we should give her some commendation when we get back?”
As a dedicated mentor, if Huang Qiaoer received any rewards, his resume would be updated again, which perfectly suited the purpose of this gilded experience.
Hearing Mr. Murong Cheng’s words, Huang Qiaoer also appropriately came closer, and her eyes showed some anticipation, as if waiting for the reward.
Hearing the commotion, Su Jiu glanced at them, then at the gray-robed elder’s expression that was subtly showing anger, then withdrew her gaze and slowly shook her head…
This child is going to be unlucky.
Looking at Huang Qiaoer, who was full of anticipation, the gray-robed elder’s wrinkled face darkened, like a withered old chrysanthemum. The summer wind blew through his silver hair, and he suddenly let out a laugh, a very self-mocking laugh:
“Haha…”
“Bang!”
The next moment, he stood up abruptly and slapped the table again, and the table immediately turned into fragments and shot out in all directions. The gust of air directly broke the microphone, but the elder’s roar could be heard in the wind:
“Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?! To mock those who are better than you, is that how I taught you?”
This commotion startled Mr. Murong Cheng, who was beside him, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue turned into a dud. He did not expect the old secretary leading the team to be so angry.
The girl named Huang Qiaoer also stood still, not daring to move.
“Hmph, you’d better not play these little tricks. I’m just old, not stupid!”
The gray-robed elder stared at her coldly again, then swept his gaze towards Mr. Murong Cheng, lowered his eyes, sighed, and flicked his sleeves twice.
Then he turned and left, his aged voice ringing out again, with a hint of admonishment:
“Teacher Murong, go back and discipline your students. Be respectful of things you don’t understand, and remain silent when you don’t know the truth. This is the character that an Imperial Capital scholar should have.”
On the other side.
“In a moment, people from Qian Cheng will arrive with them, and we will try to gather five Demigod Level or above experts to go together.”
Director Yun directly used his connections to contact Qian Cheng, who was heading to Moon Sunken Sea. As Mo City was a local hub and a large transit center, there were quite a few businesses involved in Qian Cheng.
Hearing this, Dean Zi immediately raised his hand to express his stance: “I will go with you later.”
Director Yun nodded. Although Dean Zi was only a High-Rank Battle King, as a Priest, his role in the expedition would be much more beneficial.
ID: Yan Youyou
[Me: Sister Youyou, can you notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Aers and Yela? We have eighteen students stranded in Aers, and now they are about to be completely blocked.]
Su Jiu, who was contacting the tavern with her phone, heard the conversation between the two, looked up, pondered for a moment, and said softly to Director Yun:
“Director, we can’t invite too many people. The current situation is that if we explicitly mobilize so many people, it will show Dragon Country’s intervention in another country’s internal affairs. This may lead to a series of negative consequences and give more excuses to the ‘Old Eagle’.”
Hearing what she said, Director Yun pondered for a moment and understood the logic. After all, he himself was someone related to the government, and his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper…
Suddenly, he glanced at Su Jiu: “Then I’ll go and negotiate with the higher-ups first to see if we can exchange people through diplomatic means.”
“No need to trouble you. I’ve already contacted them.”
Su Jiu waved her phone, responded, and then looked at the reply in her phone:
[Yan Youyou: There are also our citizens inside!? All citizens have been evacuated, and our country’s personnel are prohibited from entering!]
Looking at Youyou’s exclamation marks, Su Jiu suddenly felt a pang in her heart. A bad premonition surged within her…
[Me: Sister Youyou, they went in as volunteers to help ordinary refugees, using the identity of Sakura Red Cross.]
[Yan Youyou: ?]
“Clap clap!”
Youyou stopped typing and sent a voice message directly, and the rapid typing sound of a keyboard could still be heard on the other side.
Yan Youyou: “I will notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as possible, but our country’s embassies in both regions have already withdrawn. Negotiations, affected by the alchemy scrambler, may be slightly delayed.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu’s eyes darkened…
As expected, the information from the Red Cross was true. Yela was already about to completely block Aers, and the only third-party force inside was AIC from “Old Eagle.”
[Me: Then I’ll go in to support them first?]
Yan Youyou: “You can, but don’t use your identity as a Night Watcher Elder or any official capacity. Do not use force to resolve issues unless absolutely necessary.”
[Me: I know, I won’t cause trouble for the organization.]
Yan Youyou: “Be careful. However, with your strength, it should be difficult to encounter opponents. The country will do its best to negotiate with the governments of Yela and Aers to ensure the safe evacuation of every compatriot.”
“I have to go quickly. This matter started because of me, and I can’t let them have any problems.”
Taking a deep breath, Su Jiu rummaged through her ring again, and found two white coats and the dirty armband.
“Night Watcher Elder?”
Director Yun looked at Su Jiu, then at this not-so-young girl, and was a little stunned. He had just heard what Yan Youyou said and understood the meaning behind her words…
A freshman became a mid-level member of a secret organization?
This was truly somewhat fantastical.
But it seemed so real when it happened to the World Championship winner, who was always full of fantastical colors.
“Leave the rest to me. My sister and I will go to meet them later. You should hurry to contact the families and let them know the situation.”
Su Jiu shook the white coat, put it on, then tied the red armband bit by bit, and tied her hair into a ponytail.
“Did you hear that? You guys hurry up and contact the families!”
Director Yun nodded, then asked the vice dean of the Priest Academy beside him to handle these matters. Then, he fell silent for a moment and took out a storage bag from his pocket…
At his level, he knew the truth of this war. While he worried about the students, he was also proud of them. He just wanted to do something himself…
At least set an example and take a stand.
Ignoring Director Yun, Su Jiu tidied herself up again, then called Little Flower Fairy –
“Ring ring—”
It was too late to use E Huo and them as weapons. Su Jiu’s strength might only be able to be used at 70%, so Bai Zhi’s accompaniment was essential.
“Wuwu, what’s wrong?”
Little Flower Fairy on the other end of the phone answered immediately, speaking a bit unclearly, as if she was eating some pastry.
“It’s urgent, come over here quickly, we need to go abroad now.”
“Country Q, Country Q?!”
Bai Zhi on the other end of the phone finally swallowed the pastry in one gulp. Upon hearing Su Jiu’s words, she almost choked.
“Flirt, what the hell are you doing looking for trouble? It’s only the competition…”
Su Jiu repeated, “Come here immediately.”
However, her tone was a bit heavy, and it was easy to hear that she wasn’t her usual playful self.
Bai Zhi paused. Although she was unreliable, she could understand Su Jiu’s tone, and her voice became serious:
“Wait for me for a minute.”
Their tacit understanding was not much less than Bairnis’. When it came to serious matters, they didn’t even need Su Jiu to say anything; Little Flower Fairy would handle everything properly.
It could be said that none of the girls related to Su Jiu were truly useless vases.
