Chapter 1146: Why Don't You and I Replace Him?

Why Don't You and I Replace Him?

Chen Ling was stunned.

He didn't expect Teacher Ye to suddenly ask this question... He subconsciously looked out the window. Centipedes suffused with red were scattered outside the Mother Tree, digging nests on the spot to forage for food, as if planning to live nearby permanently.

"Of course it's the human side." Chen Ling didn't hesitate much. "I am Chen Ling, not Mockery."

Even though Teacher Ye had already guessed Chen Ling's answer, seeing the firmness in Chen Ling's eyes, he still smiled in relaxation, leaning his back against the chair,

"Since that's the case, you don't need to take the words the Thought Calamity said to you to heart, nor do you need to worry too much... If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Right now, the most important thing for you is to concentrate on your studies and strive to control Mockery as soon as possible."

Chen Ling nodded thoughtfully:

"I understand."

"By the way, I just heard you say that you also encountered a few other 6-series members this time?"

"Mhm."

"Came to find you to go back?"

"... Yes."

"What do you think?"

"Before finishing learning all the knowledge of the Integration Faction, I won't go back. After explaining it clearly to them, I let them go first."

Teacher Ye nodded slightly, drinking a mouthful of tea with some emotion, "They crossed the Gray World from afar to find you, proving that your friendship is very deep... Just letting them go lightly like this is inevitably a bit unreasonable."

The figures of the three people surfaced in Chen Ling's mind. He was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly,

"Everyone has their own path to walk. Gathering, parting, and farewells are also the normal state of life... Rather than a coy farewell, it's better to look forward to the next grand reunion."

"Well said."

Teacher Ye couldn't help but applaud.

Chen Ling took a deep breath, knowing it was time for him to start a long and lonely journey of study. As if making some kind of resolution, he drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Just as he was preparing to get up and say goodbye, a voice hurriedly sounded from outside the door:

"Teacher Ye! Three humans came outside, claiming to be... uh... Great King Chen Ling's friends! Asking to see you and Great King Chen Ling!"

Pfft——!!

Chen Ling choked, directly spraying out a mouthful of hot tea.

...

Everyone has their own path to walk;

But Chen Ling absolutely never expected,

That he had driven onto a four-lane highway.

When Chen Ling sat beside Teacher Ye, looking at Jian Changsheng, Sun Bumian, and Jiang Xiaohua standing tall and valiant in front of the desk, his expression was incomparably subtle...

This feeling was very strange. It was as if after graduating from university, you sincerely bid farewell to your friends at the station, promising to meet at the peak of Nasdaq one day, and after leaving elegantly, turning your head, you bumped into each other on the bus entering a factory to screw bolts. A faint awkwardness permeated the air.

"... Let me confirm again." Teacher Ye's expression was also incomparably weird,

"Six of Spades Jian Changsheng, Six of Diamonds Sun Bumian, Six of Clubs Jiang Xiaohua... You guys, also want to join the Integration Faction??"

"Exactly!" Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian answered simultaneously.

Jiang Xiaohua at the side saw this, and half a beat later, also nodded in a small voice, "Exactly..."

Chen Ling: ............

"Um, forgive me for asking presumptuously." Teacher Ye's gaze swept over the three people repeatedly, "What... have you all fused with?"

Sun Bumian took a step forward. With a clap of his hands, he conjured a huge Awakened Lion Head-dress. He backhandedly put it on his head, blinking nimbly, looking like an alien that was naturally half-human half-lion.

The corner of Teacher Ye's mouth twitched, his gaze looking towards Jiang Xiaohua behind him.

Jiang Xiaohua was silent for a moment. He took out a small purple flower from who knows where, slapping it onto his forehead. Just staring straight at Teacher Ye like this, his entire person really seemed like a flower taking root in place, his expression rigid, remaining completely motionless.

Teacher Ye: ...

Chen Ling couldn't help but cover his eyes, not daring to look anymore.

Teacher Ye took a deep breath, organizing his language for a good while before speaking:

"Truly sorry, although everyone is Chen Ling's friends, the Integration Faction has always only accepted Fusionists... How about this? I'll have someone clean out a few guest rooms. You all can stay here for a short period of time. Afterwards, I will specially send someone to escort you all back all the way..."

"Teacher Ye, you've misunderstood."

Jian Changsheng's tone was firm, not even glancing at Chen Ling, as if directly treating him as air. His eyes only held a thirst for power,

"We didn't come here to look for some Chen Ling... I truly want to learn how to properly control the power in my body."

Jian Changsheng didn't say more, but directly mobilized a trace of the ancient Killing Intent in his body, letting it drift out...

At the same time, Jian Changsheng's pupils began to be dyed black, as if a second consciousness was about to take control of this body!

The ancient Killing Intent constantly tumbled, and the temperature of the entire office dropped rapidly.

Teacher Ye's eyes immediately narrowed.

"This is..."

Seemingly a mistake appeared in the mobilization of the ancient Killing Intent, Jian Changsheng let out a muffled groan. The Killing Intent around him collapsed again, a wisp of dark red fresh blood sliding down from the corner of his mouth.

He completely nonchalantly wiped away the bloodstain, clasping his hands and bowing to Teacher Ye:

"I heard people say that Teacher Ye has researched the balance of fusion between humans and external forces very thoroughly... I request Teacher Ye to teach me."

Teacher Ye gazed at Jian Changsheng for a long time, then turned to look at Chen Ling, seemingly soliciting his opinion.

"This is the Integration Faction, Teacher Ye you can just decide yourself, no need to consider me." Chen Ling said seriously.

Teacher Ye pondered for a long time, and finally still spoke:

"Truly sorry, none of the three are Fusionists, and cannot join the Integration Faction..."

Just as Jian Changsheng's eyes darkened, Teacher Ye changed the topic and continued speaking,

"However, I indeed have some clues regarding Mr. Jian's situation. Outside of my classes, I will try my best to help you resolve this problem... Without joining the Integration Faction, we can still act as Teacher and student."

Jian Changsheng was immediately overjoyed. Only then did he raise his chin and give Chen Ling his first glance, his expression indescribably proud and arrogant.

"Then many thanks to Teacher Ye!"

"As for Mr. Sun and Mr. Jiang, please also stay here temporarily. When you have nothing to do normally, you can also attend classes together."

"Many thanks to Teacher Ye." Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua also successively bowed.

After getting Teacher Ye's permission, everyone successively left the office. Teacher Ye raised his head, only to find that Sun Bumian was still standing in place, even sneakily wanting to step forward and say something.

Teacher Ye was taken aback, asking in doubt:

"Mr. Sun, is there any matter?"

Sun Bumian looked left and right. After confirming there was no one, he leaned close to Teacher Ye's ear and whispered:

"Teacher Ye, are you familiar with the Red King?"

"Not familiar... what's wrong?"

"That's great." Sun Bumian said sternly, "The Red King acts perversely and is frantic with madness. Why don't you and I join forces... and replace him?"

Teacher Ye: ?????
