Chapter 394: Accusation

One must not act impulsively.

Although Dean Fu Li Si Te had made a decision, he would never act rashly.

Both when and how to inform the Supreme Council require careful planning.

The two most important matters now are: first, to settle Luo Te Si Nuo and Lin Ke; second, to secretly order the advance team of Rui Wo Suo Si Academy to prepare for dealing with trouble.

Lin Ke is easy to settle; even Dean Fu Li Si Te doesn't need to worry about it.

Within the Four Families United Legion, there is naturally a place for Lin Ke to stay.

Settling Luo Te Si Nuo is somewhat troublesome.

Logically, to show respect for Luo Te Si Nuo, at least one Di Ao Man De should accompany him throughout.

However, among the members of Rui Wo Suo Si Academy's advance team, only Dean Fu Li Si Te is a Di Ao Man De of Great Sage level.

Others, such as Shan Duo La Di Ao Man De, are not qualified to represent the Di Ao Man De family and Rui Wo Suo Si Academy in receiving and accompanying him.

What kind of person is Luo Te Si Nuo, and what is his insight?

At a glance, he saw through Dean Fu Li Si Te's pretended difficulty.

Pretense!

Waving his hand, Luo Te Si Nuo said unhappily, "You don't need to worry pointlessly here, nor put on an act. Although many already know my identity, I don't want to be too conspicuous for now; there's no need to make a big scene. Just follow my older brother and sister-in-law, act discreetly, and go busy with your own scheming."

"Thank you, Sage, for your understanding."

Dean Fu Li Si Te readily agreed, or rather, he was delighted that Luo Te Si Nuo was so considerate, and happily accepted.

He gave Sage Se Lin a glance, apologized to Luo Te Si Nuo, and Dean Fu Li Si Te left in a hurry.

Because of the sudden situation, he quickly and covertly raised the alert level of Rui Wo Suo Si Academy's advance team to the highest, preparing to deal with trouble from all sides.

Both externally, such as the demon civilization, and internally, such as Michel Great Sage Tower.

And Dean Fu Li Si Te's haste really was, as Luo Te Si Nuo said, to go indulge in scheming.

The main reason is that Rui Wo Suo Si Academy alone is no match for the current Michel Great Sage.

But adding the Supreme Council's Parallel Universe Office changes everything.

Be aware that the Wizard Civilization has already dispatched three Ninth-level Great Sages to the parallel universe.

As long as Michel Great Sage fails to successfully ascend to Saint rank, they can be subdued.

Nothing is settled yet; there is still room for maneuver.

"Let's go, we're heading back."

After Dean Fu Li Si Te left, Mo Li immediately embraced Lin Ke's arm.

They were lovey-dovey, oblivious to others, very intimate.

Even appearing overly affectionate.

Lin Ke, however, took it sweetly, directly ignoring Sage Se Lin's glare and Luo Te Si Nuo's funny expression of covering his eyes, unable to bear watching.

Sage Se Lin showed little reaction.

If it's affectionate, just don't look.

"Tsk!"

Seeing this, Luo Te Si Nuo actually acted to utterly despise the two's behavior.

Lin Ke and Mo Li paid no heed, continuing to do as they pleased.

With nothing they could do about the thick-skinned pair, Luo Te Si Nuo and Sage Se Lin could only serve as bright light bulbs.

After such a lively while, the four quieted down, continued their journey, and headed toward the Four Families United Legion's wartime defense zone.

However, on the way back, Sage Se Lin kept wanting to speak but held back.

The news just learned left some doubts weighing on Sage Se Lin's heart; she wanted to ask but didn't dare.

It wasn't that Sage Se Lin was shy; rather, she worried that asking might ruin things.

Lin Ke noticed this very keenly.

However, he did not proactively speak to guide Sage Se Lin to voice her doubts.

Some questions are better kept in the heart.

Even if asking wouldn't really cause harm, it would bring unnecessary trouble.

However, Luo Te Si Nuo, who is in the 'transformation period,' unrestrainable and somewhat lawless, would not think that way.

The more chaotic the situation and the more tangled the relationships, the happier he is.

What is called mysterious, simply put, is actually extracting order from chaos.

Thus, Luo Te Si Nuo directly said, "Sage Wizard, if you have any questions, just ask them outright; no need to keep them bottled up. Rest assured, with me here, apart from us few, no one will hear what you say."

Lin Ke felt that sentence sounded familiar.

If Dean Fu Li Si Te were still here, he would surely have the same feeling.

Having opened his mouth, Lin Ke was about to remind Sage Se Lin of the unreliability of Luo Te Si Nuo's remark.

However, Luo Te Si Nuo beat Lin Ke to it, giving him a fierce stare.

That look, as if saying, "If you dare expose my shortcomings and ruin my image, I won't let you off."

Lin Ke wasn't afraid of that; rather, thinking back, after the previous Ancestral Heavenly Master incident, Luo Te Si Nuo still had such confidence, obviously not a blind impulse.

Even if Luo Te Si Nuo fails again, the only ones who could breach his defenses and eavesdrop on the conversation here would be those few Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Venerables of Saint rank from the Immortal God Civilization.

Even the Michel Great Sage currently ascending does not have this ability.

If so, why would Lin Ke need to be a bad person?

Thus, Lin Ke kept silent, swallowing the words that had risen to his throat.

Sage Se Lin instinctively sensed something odd, yet based on some considerations, she still decided to heed Luo Te Si Nuo's advice and voice her doubts.

After carefully choosing her words, Sage Se Lin seriously asked, "Is it possible that the Void Tranquil Heavenly Master's message to Lin Ke about the Immortal God Civilization's Heavenly Court supporting Michel Great Sage is actually intended to provoke our Wizard Civilization into internal turmoil, thereby delaying the Supreme Council's development of this universe?"

Of course!

Lotesnuo immediately gave an answer, very loudly, with the corners of his mouth almost splitting up to his ears, "Of course there is such a possibility, and it is highly likely. After all, in terms of overall strength, the Immortal-Deity Civilization is still somewhat stronger than the Wizard Civilization. Therefore, in the early stage of cooperation between the two sides, the Supreme Council played some tricks, on one hand speeding up the development of this universe, and on the other hand delaying the time and efficiency of the Immortal-Deity Civilization entering our universe."

After a pause, Lotesnuo pointed his index fingers at Sage Senlin, shifted the topic, and laughed in an exaggerated tone: "Your thinking is very keen, and you have a strong potion scent about you; you must be an excellent potion researcher or potion maker. I still have a few potion formulas that have been lost in the Wizard Civilization; if you are interested, I can give you a free copy."

Thank you for your kindness, Saint, but I'll pass.

Sage Senlin did not let Lotesnuo's praise distract her; faced with the temptation, she simply and decisively refused.

As for the topic that was not continued, since Lotesnuo stopped, Sage Senlin also stopped pursuing it.

She still had that bit of perceptiveness.

Fine.

Lotesnuo shrugged, puffed out his lips, his tone seeming indifferent yet revealing a hint of sadness.

"Transcendence Stage" wizards almost always act like drama queens; the contrast is just too great.

Whether compared to their past behavior, their outward appearance, or their own identity and status.

Shrugging, pouting, acting cute, being mischievous—is this what a reincarnated Saint should do?

It's utterly absurd!

Lin Ke couldn't help but wonder whether Lotesnuo was truly in the Transcendence Stage or just using it as an excuse to act crazy.

As for mystic wizards, Lin Ke had seen related descriptions in the few documents he had.

There is a term often prefixed to mystic wizards.

That term is 'madness'.

Not only is their thinking mad, their daily words and deeds are even more so.

Sage Senlin voiced the doubt she had actually already guessed the answer to, and then refused to speak further.

The reason is also quite simple.

On one hand, Lin Ke and Mo Li are overly lovey-dovey, constantly flaunting their affection;

this makes Sage Senlin somewhat resentful, wondering why her chosen partner, Paluo, is such a straight-laced steel man.

Although things are much better now than before, romance and lovey-doveyness still seem a bit clueless.

There is not a hint of romance to be had.

On the other hand, facing the Saint's reincarnation, especially Lotesnuo in the Transcendence Stage whose every word and deed is full of madness, Sage Senlin feels somewhat uneasy.

It's still that same thing—the contrast is simply too great.

Fortunately, not long after, the starlight flying ship carrying the four arrived at the wartime defense zone of the Four-Clan United Legion.

Sage Senlin found an excuse, was the first to disembark from the starlight flying ship, and headed straight for where Sage Paluo was.

The dog food they had ingested at Lin Ke and Mo Li's place needed to be properly digested.

As for how to digest it, those who understand, understand.

Lin Ke and Mo Li got off the starlight flying ship, didn't even glance at Lotesnuo, and headed straight for Mo Li's residence.

Lotesnuo watched the three depart one after another, shook his head, and gave a hehe laugh.

Immediately, Lotesnuo's expression turned solemn, and he put aside his somewhat mad state.

After looking around, he rejected the reception staff arranged for Sage Senlin to enter Sage Paluo's area, chose a direction, and walked off silently.

After a few steps, the reception personnel of the Four-Clan United Legion could no longer see Lotesnuo's figure.

Where Lotesnuo went and why, no one knows.

On the other side, Dean Fuliste had made all the preparations, after repeated consideration and careful wording, contacted via a secret channel the internal liaison officer of the Supreme Council's Office in the Parallel Universe.

What is it?

The officer faced Dean Fuliste's attitude, which was rather cold.

Dean Fuliste did not feel annoyed in the slightest by the officer's cold attitude.

He merely coldly stared at the officer through the encrypted video call's light curtain, meeting his eyes, and said in an even colder tone and manner: "If you wish to be jointly punished, or even executed, by the Five Saints of the Supreme Council, you may continue treating me this way."

Are you threatening me?

The officer narrowed his eyes, a glint of cold light flashing, killing intent suddenly appearing.

Dean Fuliste nodded calmly: "I am indeed threatening you; if you can't take it, you can hang up the call."

Just say what you have to say; no need to beat around the bush.

Clenching his back teeth hard, the officer forcibly suppressed his anger, restrained his temper, and spoke in a displeased tone.

Hehe...

Dean Fuliste gave a cold snort, but did not continue to play with the officer's emotions; he got straight to the point: "Does the Immortal-Deity Civilization's Heavenly Court have recruited Grand Sage Mixieer and is now funding him to assault the Saint's rank? Do you know about this?"

What?

The officer exclaimed in shock.

His shocked look was definitely not feigned.

Obviously, the officer had heard nothing at all about this matter.

Both the Immortal-Deity Civilization's Heavenly Court and Grand Sage Mixieer had indeed done an excellent job keeping the secret.

Dean Fuliste could well understand the officer's shock.

When he previously heard Lotesnuo mention this news, his shock was certainly no less than the officer's.

It was even greater, if not more.

Do you know what you're saying, Fuliste Di'omande?

After the shock, the officer came to his senses and shouted sternly, "Spreading this rumor, can you bear the responsibility?"

Dean Fuliste leisurely replied with a slight smile: "Since I dare say it, I dare bear the responsibility. As for whether it's a rumor, you'll know if you look into it."

Such a fearless, full-of-confidence demeanor suddenly calmed the officer.

Wizards mainly study mental power and magic power.

Mental power is based on will.

The person in charge can become the internal person in charge of the Supreme Council's office in the parallel universe, responsible for the Supreme Council's liaison with wizard forces that have come to the parallel universe, and the wizard rank must necessarily not be low.

As for will, it is naturally very tenacious.

Thus, in a short time, although the news that Michelle the Great Sage betrayed the Supreme Council, betrayed the Wizard Civilization, and defected to the Immortal-Deity Civilization's Heavenly Court was however shocking, the person in charge still recovered.

Taking a deep breath, the person in charge asked coldly: "Investigate? How to investigate? Where to investigate from?"

Dean Friester smiled: "This is your Supreme Council's affair. I can only guarantee that my sources are absolutely reliable."

"What do you have to guarantee?"

The person in charge continued to ask in a cold tone.

Dean Friester's face sank slightly, and he replied seriously:

"I am taking the continued existence of Rivowosith Academy as my guarantee."

You surely know how deep the conflict between Rivowosith Academy and Michelle the Great Sage's Tower, as well as Michelle the Great Sage himself, really is.

If Michelle the Great Sage had not defected to the Immortal-Deity Civilization, even if he truly became a Saint in this universe, our Rivowosith Academy would at most completely abandon all interests in this universe and retreat to our own universe.

Pausing, Dean Friester emphasized:

"But, I am now accusing Michelle the Great Sage of defection to the Immortal-Deity Civilization in my capacity as Dean of Rivowosith Academy; how serious this is, you surely can understand."

"If after investigation the Supreme Council finds my accusation unfounded, what fate awaits Rivowosith Academy, you surely can guess."

Pausing again, Dean Friester asked word by word: "But then, if..."

"What if my accusation is true?"
