Chapter 1051

The young Jean Grey was stunned.

She wasn't stunned by the scolding, but because she hadn't expected that the power that had tormented her for so many years—the Phoenix Force they spoke of—

Besides bringing destruction, could actually bring the dead back to life?

And... was the Phoenix Force really completely devoured by the other party?

Had she really succeeded in getting rid of it just like that?!

It wasn't that the young Jean Grey was stubborn and refused to believe others, but she had been disappointed too many times and knew the power of the Phoenix Force too well, so she didn't dare to believe it had really been completely devoured by the other party.

"No, now is not the time to consider these things; even if the Phoenix Force were still here, I couldn't use it to resurrect the Professor."

"So..."

The young Jean Grey took a deep breath and turned to look at the woman with red hair, wearing a red long coat, who claimed to also be called Jean Grey.

"I don't have the Phoenix Force anymore, but she does! She can perfectly control the power of the Phoenix Force!"

Beast heard the sound and looked at Jean Grey, asking hesitantly: "She is...?"

"Jean Grey!"

Jean Grey smiled and introduced herself.

Beast was instantly surprised and instinctively pushed his glasses: "Je... Jean Grey? You are also called Jean Grey?"

"I come from another parallel universe and am her double," Jean Grey explained with a smile: "In my universe, we are friends, and I was also once the Professor's student."

Beast looked at Jean Grey, then at the young Jean Grey, and said in a deep voice: "If we are friends, and if you really are also the Professor's student, can you resurrect him—resurrect the Professor?"

Jean Grey shook her head with regret and said: "I am now the Deputy Captain of the Void Guard; just as Distortion said, our duty is to protect the Master and eliminate the Master's enemies."

For another reason, Jean Grey might have reached out to help for the sake of the Professor.

But not now!

Although Su Quan had already revealed the intention that he could resurrect the Professor, he hadn't spoken, so Jean Grey wouldn't act without authorization.

The team member had carried out her conviction and killed the Professor; Su Quan hadn't spoken yet, and she had gone and resurrected the Professor—would that be fair to Su Quan, would that be fair to the members of the guard team?

Besides, this Professor isn't that Professor.

And even if he were the Professor she knew, to say the most honest thing: the Professor is a teacher, and Su Quan is a lover.

When a conflict arises between a teacher and a lover, which side should one stand on? I believe nine out of ten would choose the lover and would make the same choice as her!

"I understand."

Beast nodded slightly and looked at Su Quan: "Speak, what are the conditions!"

Given Su Quan's status and their past friendship, if he wanted to reminisce, he would have come long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

He wouldn't come to the temple without a reason.

He must have a purpose for coming this time!

Su Quan smiled approvingly: "Not bad, you've become clever."

"Although the development of things had some discrepancies, I'll just say it directly: there are a few people I'm quite interested in, so..."

"I want them!"

Beast frowned: "This is a school, not a talent market, and besides... the students are all free; we have no right to decide where they go."

Su Quan shrugged: "Isn't a school a place to cultivate talent? Besides, have you heard of guaranteed job placement after graduation?"

"What can they get by studying here with you?"

"Can your school's graduation certificate help them find suitable jobs outside? Can it help them avoid discriminatory looks? Can it help them live and work in peace?"

"No!"

Beast was speechless; the young Jean Grey and Cyclops wanted to say something but couldn't come up with a coherent argument.

"But I can!"

Su Quan patted Beast on the shoulder and said with a chuckle: "You've all heard of Void Island, right? Mutants on the island can live and work in peace based on their own abilities and efforts, and live the lives they want."

"I can guarantee their safety and ensure they won't be discriminated against or harmed because of their mutant identity!"

Su Quan looked at Beast: "Didn't you say you had no right to decide where they go? Then it will be entirely voluntary; I won't force them, and you are not allowed to stop them—how about that?"

How about that?

What can I do?

Can I refuse?

If I refuse, will it work?

If the Professor can't be resurrected and the school loses its backbone, the result will inevitably be bankruptcy; when that time comes, you'll reveal your identity as being from Void Island, and the students will all have to go with you, right?

It's better to agree; at least the Professor can come back to life, and the school can continue.

Besides, to be honest, Void Island is indeed a good place; if the students can join Void Island, it can be considered a good destination!

"I agree on behalf of the Professor, but you must resurrect the Professor first, and also heal Cyclops's injuries," Beast said in a deep voice.

"Okay!"

Su Quan smiled and nodded to Jean Grey, then stood beside the young Jean Grey.

"Watch carefully; the Phoenix Force is not a symbol of evil. Like any power, it depends on whether the person who possesses it can control it, or... be controlled by it!"

The young Jean Grey was stunned and instinctively looked at Jean Grey, who had already released the Phoenix Force and started to resurrect the Professor.

Both were the Phoenix Force, but the young Jean Grey could feel the difference between it in her hands and in hers.

"Hum!"

The energy of the Phoenix Force erupted suddenly and fell straight onto the Professor's corpse.

Immediately after, a "boom" was heard; crimson energy wrapped around the Professor, making him float up.

In the dazzling light, the Professor opened his eyes suddenly, his body floated down slowly, and the energy disappeared along with it.

The moment his toes touched the ground, the Professor staggered and swayed; Beast instinctively wanted to go over to support him, but saw him take a few steps forward while shaking, and then... he stood steadily!

He, he stood!

"Professor, yo... your legs..." Beast widened his eyes, and the young Jean Grey and Cyclops looked on in disbelief.

The Professor was resurrected.

Not only was he resurrected, but his injuries had also recovered; he was no longer paralyzed, he could stand on his own, he could walk!

The Professor looked blankly at his legs, then looked at the people around him, and finally figured out what had happened from Beast's memory.

I died.

The Phoenix Force in Jean Grey's body was completely devoured by Su Quan.

The Phoenix Force can bring the dead back to life.

Su Quan and Beast made a deal, and Jean Grey from a parallel universe used the Phoenix Force to resurrect him and also cured his disability!

The Professor was silent for a few seconds, and with a complex mood, said to Su Quan: "Should I consider this a blessing in disguise?"

Su Quan shrugged: "If you feel uncomfortable, I can help you; it's just paralysis, my hands are very steady!"

"No, don't!" The Professor didn't even think about it and walked away a few steps, distancing himself from Su Quan.

Are you kidding? Do you know how much I missed this feeling?

PS: A friend's father was discharged from the hospital, and I spent the whole day helping out; I'm exhausted, my body is too weak, so this update is a bit late. I'll try my best to write the second update; if I really can't make it, I'll make up for it tomorrow.
