Chapter 141: False Information Recorded in the Void

The people Setale brought.

None of them came to help.

All of them are the Academy's edict officials and discipline officials.

Their purpose in coming to A Ru Cun is also simple.

Inspect Luo De.

First, investigate the matter of the Red King's Envoy.

Second, investigate whether there is any knowledge leakage in A Ru Cun.

【Things have gotten a bit big; these people are all sent by the Great Sage to investigate your background.】

This is one of the two notes sent by Setale Tobel Kasem.

On it she also wrote some methods she thought could deceive the edict officials and discipline officials' inspection, and it also includes seeking the help of the senior discipline official and the sage to come assist, this kind of external measure.

Luo De glanced at it, then threw the note into Uncle Anpu's home fireplace, then calmly came before the inspectors.

In this inspection team.

He also saw for the first time the Heterodox School's hegemon, the current vice dean Hafuse.

During the last project approval, Luo De merely submitted the application and didn't see him in person.

"Are you the new disciple recently accepted by Sage Nafis?"

Hafuse's appearance was not as sharp-tongued as imagined; on the contrary, at first glance he gave the impression of kind eyes and a benevolent look, quite affable, and when speaking with Luo De he also gave the feeling of a kind elder, completely hiding the fact that he was a notorious scholar who had many times seized students' achievements.

Compared to the mild-mannered Hafuse.

The edict officials and discipline officials who came for the inspection were not so polite.

As soon as they spoke, they used a standard official tone.

"Junior Shiduoluo Luo De, by order of the Great Sage, we will investigate all recent rumors about you; we hope you can actively cooperate."

Luo De's Shiduoluo degree has actually already passed review; he just needs to return to the Academy for an interview to officially obtain it.

But he currently has no time.

Moreover, this matter is not urgent for the time being, so he simply didn't bother with it.

"No problem."

Faced with the inspectors' demand to take him away, Luo De showed great cooperation.

These inspectors then split into two groups.

One group took Luo De for oral questioning, while the other went to the village to conduct visitation inquiries.

This investigation request made in the name of the Great Sage, Kantisi also couldn't refuse as before, only could watch them take Luo De away.

However, Hafuse didn't follow either group, but instead watched Luo De's back with interest until he could no longer see him, then smiled and looked at Kantisi and them, saying: 'I don't know who can be a guide to take me to fully appreciate the achievements of this genius student of our Amirito Academy.'

Seeing Kantisi and them with somewhat puzzled expressions.

Likewise, Setale, who hadn't followed them, hurriedly introduced: 'This is the vice dean of Amirito Academy, the hegemon Hafuse.'

Hafuse.

Hearing this name, Kantisi and Dixiya, who were well-informed, couldn't help but stare at each other.

Immediately.

Dixiya then said: 'I'll come; Kantisi and them still have things to do; now I have time.'

"Oh? Dixiya?"

"Mercenary of the Blazing Light Beast Hunt, Blazing Mane Lion."

"Hehe, good name."

Almost all the people in A Ru Cun are not registered in the Void, while Dixiya is one of the few who have detailed information in the Void; Hafuse only needs to mobilize the Void terminal to see her name and specific information.

Therefore Hafuse could readily call out his own name, and Dixiya was not at all surprised.

Although in the desert the Void terminal signal is poor, simply checking personal information is still fine.

After whispering a few words with Kantisi.

She then led the way for Hafuse in front: 'Please follow me.'

Following Hafuse's request.

The first place Dixiya took him to was the slime farm field with the best crop growth in A Ru Cun.

Professionally matched.

Hafuse stayed here for a long time.

He not only carefully inspected the various crops planted in the field, but also collected many samples to take back.

Every time he saw the Heterodox School's hegemon mercilessly digging up soil and pulling seedlings there, Dixiya couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Hafuse selected them with great precision.

All are newly cultivated seedling varieties, completely different from the traditional Sumeru seedling varieties.

Many of those pulled out were also new seedlings not yet grown tall.

To say one doesn't feel heartache is a lie.

Moreover, it's not just these.

He also dug up a lot of soil with grass elemental energy, placing it in specially made containers that prevent elemental energy loss; even the underground grass slime was dug out as one, taking both the cage and the slime away.

Setale and the two other edict officials followed closely behind him, picking up and collecting everything Hafuse had given them.

What made Dixiya unable to resist clenching her fists was.

When collecting samples, Hafuse took no protective measures at all; not only did he casually trample the seedlings in the field while walking, but while digging he also inadvertently destroyed many seedlings planted nearby.

Basically, it was like digging up one seedling and destroying several or even a dozen others.

Among these, many were specially customized new varieties by Duo Li.

Missing just one plant will result in a significant loss of Mora.

After tallying up, the scattered destruction Ha Fu Sai has caused along his route now adds up to almost enough for a small plot of land.

What's even more infuriating is,

Ha Fu Sai seemed completely unaware, walking along while muttering to himself.

His voice wasn't loud.

Dixiya could only catch a few scattered words.

"Not bad", "Very good technique", "Nafis has hidden quite a bit from me"

This isn't over yet.

After finishing the slime field, Ha Fu Sai then proceeded to the newly cultivated land treated with soil binder and alchemical fertilizer.

Here it's even worse.

Because it's a newly planted field that has only just begun cultivation.

Even the tallest plants are only just above the ankle, and many have just broken through the soil.

Ha Fu Sai, without hesitation, again used the pretext of gathering materials to wantonly destroy many places, not even sparing the seeds buried in the ground.

Just like that.

All along the way it's been more or less the same operation; Dixiya reluctantly brought Ha Fu Sai to the test field that Luo De had opened up.

"Yo, who do we have here?"

"A De Ba Yi?"

"What happened to this hand? Is it ruined?"

Upon seeing the figure sitting at the edge of the test field's ridge, Ha Fu Sai's mouth twitched and he laughed out loud.

After so many years of love and hatred.

He and A De Ba Yi are extremely familiar with each other.

This also gave a concrete answer to the speculation that had been lingering in his mind.

No wonder he always felt that Luo De's submitted topics and papers resembled A De Ba Yi's early research; after thinking about it for a while, it really was the two of them working together.

A De Ba Yi, who had been busy recording experimental data, also noticed Ha Fu Sai at this moment.

The imagined scene of enemies meeting with fiery eyes did not occur.

He merely glanced at Ha Fu Sai indifferently, then continued to summon his assistants Ta De Li and Ke Lai to measure the next set of experimental data.

As for that,

Ha Fu Sai felt no anger at being ignored, nor any sense that he might be scolded; he simply walked over blankly.

Unlike before, when he would destroy whatever he stepped on in the fields.

This time.

Ha Fu Sai walked especially carefully, not even touching a leaf.

Upon approaching A De Ba Yi, he unabashedly leaned over to look at the experimental data she was recording; A De Ba Yi didn't chase him away, just let him freely look at her notes.

Seeing him like that.

Ta De Li and Ke Lai both stopped what they were doing, curious.

They didn't know Ha Fu Sai, nor why this sudden stranger was openly 'peeking' at the experimental data that A De Ba Yi treasured like a jewel.

"What are you two doing standing there! Continue!"

Not hearing the two of them report data, A De Ba Yi's voice turned cold; Ta De Li and Ke Lai shuddered and immediately plunged back into data measurement.

Just like that.

The test field fell into a strange atmosphere.

Dixiya and Sai Ta Lei watched from outside, Ta De Li and Ke Lai were reporting data there, Ha Fu Sai crossed his arms, smiling as he watched A De Ba Yi writing and drawing.

Until all the experimental data for this round were recorded.

Only then did A De Ba Yi stand up, give Ha Fu Sai a cold glance, and as she walked past she bumped his shoulder heavily.

This action inevitably startled Dixiya and Sai Ta Lei.

Fortunately.

Ha Fu Sai wasn't angry; he merely brushed off the spot where his shoulder had been bumped, then walked away smiling.

Looking at his appearance.

He seemed to be in a good mood, not at all affected by A De Ba Yi's rudeness.

After that.

Ha Fu Sai then went nowhere.

Aside from the farmland, he had no interest in the construction plans for A Ru Cun.

Afterwards he stayed at Uncle Anpu's house, waiting until Luo De passed the review, then he smiled and said to the several teaching officials and discipline officials: "How is it? Any results?"

"Vice Dean Ha Fu Sai, no issues have been found so far; do you have any results on your end?"

"Just a minor issue, not worth mentioning, unrelated to you; I'll report it to the Great Sage after I return."

Ha Fu Sai chuckled, patted Luo De on the shoulder, and said appreciatively: "Not bad, young man; Nafis the Sage didn't misjudge you—keep it up."

Having said that.

He then waved his hand and left Uncle Anpu's house, his smile undiminished.

Those teaching and discipline officials also politely bade farewell to Luo De one by one, then followed behind Ha Fu Sai.

After they all left.

Dixiya immediately stepped forward and whispered to Luo De: "I've done everything you asked me to, but A De Ba Yi hasn't said anything at all; will he really believe you obtained the Dendro Archon's knowledge like this?"

"Not only that, he might also think I obtained the Scarlet King's knowledge."

Luo De laughed hehe
