Chapter 146: See You Tomorrow

The purpose has already been achieved.

Luo De no longer lingered at the Academy.

There was an investigation report submitted by Aier Haishen, plus Ha Fusai already firmly believed in the 'fact'.

The matter of himself being highly suspected of possessing knowledge of two deities would soon be confirmed by the Great Sage.

Everything is now ready; only the final means of activation remains.

"Someone is watching you."

Walking down the bustling street, Nadixa quietly reminded.

"I know."

Luo De let out a dry laugh: "They really aren't at ease, even though they've already recorded all my information in the Void, they still go to the trouble of finding someone to watch me."

"It should be because you suddenly entered the city, going against the Void's projection."

Nadixa affirmed.

The Void's projection is not absolutely free of problems.

Theoretically, it's only a ninety-eight percent probability, and Luo De is currently bouncing back and forth in that two percent of unpredictability, so it's perfectly normal for the Academy to send people to follow him.

"They really put a lot of faith in the Void."

Luo De pouted, glancing around with the corner of his eye.

There were quite a few people following him, all in plain clothes, blending into the crowd without showing any oddness; at a glance they were clearly surveillance experts.

Some of them were quite skilled, able to climb walls and rooftops without making a sound.

Luo De showed no change in expression, pretending he hadn't noticed.

He also didn't go elsewhere, openly going to Hu Ma Yi's house, exchanging a few words with the gatekeeper before entering.

This is the action that currently best matches the Void's projection.

As he expected.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, the number of eyes watching him decreased by a few.

The deeper he went into the manor, the fewer the people watching him became.

Upon reaching Dina Zeda's garden,

Only those few agile watchers remained.

Dixiya and Dina Zeda still didn't know he had entered the city at this moment; when they met, the two were sitting in the courtyard chatting.

"When did you arrive?"

Upon first seeing Luo De, Dixiya and Dina Zeda both happily went up to greet him.

However, the points of their joy were completely different.

Dixiya was happy that Luo De had smoothly arrived at Sumeru Cheng, though this happiness carried a hint of worry.

After all, according to the plan,

Luo De this time was supposed to leave himself in the Academy, but if any part of the plan went wrong, just as Nadixa said, he would fall deep into the Academy's layers of encirclement; even if he could escape, he would be wanted across the continent by the Academy.

In contrast, Dina Zeda was truly and completely happy.

After waiting so long, she finally got the chance to let the Little Auspicious Grass King's faith return to Sumeru Cheng.

As for failure?

She hadn't even considered what would happen after failure; even if she were to be thrown into prison for offending the Academy, she wouldn't care.

"Shh——"

Dina Zeda was about to speak when she saw Luo De raise his hand to signal her to stay quiet, then he gave her a look.

Dina Zeda still didn't understand what was going on.

Dixiya then pulled Luo De toward the house: "You must be tired from rushing over; come have a drink."

She said.

She then, without further ado, pulled Dina Zeda up as well, and they all went back inside together.

Fortunately, Dina Zeda's health is poor, so she normally doesn't open doors and windows much, so there was no need to deliberately draw attention by closing them.

"What about Ke Lai?"

As soon as he entered, sensing that the surveillance gazes had all disappeared, Luo De immediately first asked about Ke Lai, who wasn't here.

Dixiya replied: "She's at the Grand Bazaar, with Nilou."

"Oh, good."

Luo De nodded, then turned to Dina Zeda and said: "Looks like you've contacted the people?"

"I've contacted seven people willing to help."

Dina Zeda eagerly said: "Adding me, that makes a full eight."

However, what disappointed Dina Zeda was,

She had just finished speaking when Luo De immediately poured a bucket of cold water over her: "No, you can't go."

"Why——"

This made Dina Zeda very disappointed; she truly longed to contribute her strength to revive the faith of the Little Auspicious Grass King.

Moreover, she is only physically unwell, not mentally.

Luo De and Dixiya are planning a major undertaking, something great enough to truly let the Little Auspicious Grass King's faith take root and sprout again in Sumeru Cheng, and she can still see that.

Due to the Magic Scale Disease, Dina Zeda has few friends.

Dixiya is already her best friend.

Therefore, whether out of friendship or consideration for contributing to the Little Auspicious Grass King, she feels she must help them with this.

But Luo De cruelly pointed out a fact.

Because this plan requires fleeing, requires constantly evading the Academy's guards' pursuit, it takes a long time; with your stamina, you cannot sustain it.

Dina Zede's body is very fragile.

Not to mention running for a long time; even just running a short distance she cannot bear.

Both emotionally and rationally.

It is impossible to let her participate in this part that lures out the guards.

But this does not mean Dina Zede cannot help at all.

Looking at her expression of extreme disappointment due to despair, Luo De laughed and said: "Do you still have the documentary I filmed for you of the Flower God's Birthday Celebration?"

"Huh?"

Dina Zede, who had been somewhat depressed, lifted her head: "Still here."

"The negatives are also still there, right?"

"They are."

In a moment, go find someone to develop these photos and footage, make more copies, then tomorrow deliver them to various places in Sumeru Cheng, especially the taverns, where they can be displayed.

"What do you mean?"

Dina Zede blinked her eyes, apparently understanding Luo De's meaning: "You intend to have me use these things to draw the guards' attention?"

"Yeah, anyway, promoting the deeds of the Little Auspicious Grass King isn't the first time you've done it, so it's not strange."

"Then let Dixiya follow you, to avoid any trouble."

Dina Zede is a follower of the Little Auspicious Grass King; this is no longer news, the Academy already knows this.

They just never bothered to intervene.

Now letting Dina Zede promote the deity she believes in is, for the Academy's people, also not something unusual.

At most it could draw some attention from the Academy, but not to the point of being chased by guards across the city.

This can be considered a relatively safe method.

Dina Zede instantly turned from worry to joy, gladly accepted the arrangement, and immediately went to look for the negatives she had treasured.

"Has Laheman's side arranged things okay?"

Luo De then asked Dixiya.

"According to what you said, everything has been sent to the planned locations."

Dixiya nodded, then added: "However, the mercenaries' mood is somewhat agitated; Sumeru Cheng is full of Dendro Archon's followers, Laheman's men have already argued with people several times; if it weren't for Laheman and Kusela stopping them in time, there might have been trouble. Laheman had me ask you: exactly when should we start that plan?"

"Tsk, just his temper is big."

Luo De muttered discontentedly.

But he did not continue further.

Laheman's mercenary band itself is a group of extremist Red King followers; placing them in an area surrounded by Dendro Archon's believers, the fact that no trouble has broken out shows Laheman's good control.

Regarding Dixiya's conveyed question, Luo De replied: "Tomorrow I will go find a person; then you will still follow the plan and act upon receiving the signal."

"Tomorrow?"

Dixiya nodded heavily: "I will go notify him."

"No rush."

Luo De stopped her from getting up, shook his head and said: "Wait a moment."

"Huh?"

"You're being watched?"

This action made Dixiya quickly realize the problem.

"Yeah."

"I'll go draw them away; you go later."

Saying this, Luo De rose, stretched lazily, then waved his hand and said: "After notifying him, you all rest well today; there's still work tomorrow."
