Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 11: Getting Rid of Suspicion
Qin Xiaonan's mother is not a magician, but just an ordinary person.

She knew very little about magic, so although Tang Yue was full of suspicion about Qin Xiaonan and even thought that he might have some connection with the Black Church, she did not reveal any of it in front of Qin Xiaonan's mother.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Tang Yue excused herself and left the ward.

After walking out of the room, she looked a little more relaxed.

She did not leave, but walked straight to a room not far away.

Pushing open the door, the light inside the room was a little dim, but one could still clearly see a person sitting inside. He was wearing a military mage uniform, and the badge on his shoulder straps revealed his identity - Bo City's military mage chief instructor, Zhan Kong.

The fact that a general-level demon accidentally entered the city and some mysterious sandworms appeared naturally alarmed Zhan Kong.

As a member of the Inquisition, Tang Yue came to Bo City to secretly investigate the Black Church. They knew Zhan Kong's identity as a member of the Zu family, so she revealed her identity to Zhan Kong and got his support, which would make it much easier to do some things.

Zhan Kong raised his head and asked, "What's the situation?"

Tang Yue closed the door and said in a serious tone, "Based on my observations, although Qin Xiaonan has many suspicious points, they do not conform to the Black Church's usual style. The Black Church has always acted in secret, and their members usually try their best to hide their identities, only revealing themselves at the critical moment of the final operation. And although Qin Xiaonan's earth-type spirit seed has a strange origin, the suspicious points about him are too obvious, even a little deliberate, which is completely inconsistent with the Black Church's low-key style."

Zhankong's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound, as if he was thinking hard about something.

Then he said, "I agree with that. The Black Church certainly wouldn't make its targets so obvious. But how do we explain that Bone-Spiked Wolf possessed by a sandworm? Its actions were clearly purposeful, determined to leave a mark on Qin Xiaonan at all costs. What on earth is there in this child that warrants such demonic treatment?"

Tang Yue nodded, a hint of confusion in her tone: "This is also what I can't understand the most. Sandworms usually only exist in the depths of the desert, and Bo City is thousands of miles away from the desert. Why are they here?
Zhankong's fingers stopped tapping, his gaze sharpening. "Furthermore, in recent months, demon activity outside the city has been unusually frequent, even somewhat restless. Could this be related to the appearance of the sandworms?"

"We need to quickly determine the source of the sandworms and whether there's any connection between them and the Black Vatican. At the same time, Qin Xiaonan's safety must be guaranteed. Regardless of whether he's connected to the Black Vatican or not, the sandworm incident should be linked to him."

……

Qin Xiaonan didn't take Tang Yue's suspicion seriously. He could even say that it was all within his expectations. He knew clearly that his actions would definitely arouse suspicion, but he was not afraid of the investigation.

The purpose of his doing this this time was very simple, he just wanted the monarch-level sandworm to determine his location. It was difficult for him to determine the other party's whereabouts, so he could only leave a mark and let it come to him on its own initiative.

The real disaster of Bo City was imminent. He could not accurately predict how many casualties and lives this disaster would cause.

It has been more than a year since Qin Xiaonan came into this world, and his mentality has also undergone subtle changes.

Initially, he simply wanted to protect his parents and ensure their safety from the disaster. However, as time went on, he became more familiar with his classmates and neighbors, and his concern grew. Those smiles and those warm daily moments made it impossible for him to watch them collapse in the disaster.

The fox demon Qingning must stay by his side, so he needs to assign some tasks to the sandworms to save as many people as possible.

At this moment, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and Qin Xuan, the father, walked in. His face was tired, but more concerned about his son. As Qin Xiaonan's father, he was naturally taken away by the military for investigation.

However, Qin Xuan had a clear conscience and was soon proven to have no connection with the Black Church, so he was released.

"Xiaonan, don't worry. Father will find a way to help you remove this sandworm mark." Qin Xuan walked to the bedside, his tone full of determination. He didn't ask why his son was targeted by the demon, nor did he mention the investigation he was under. Instead, he immediately focused on his son's safety.

"There are no high-level healing mages in Bo City, so let's go to the Magic City. There are many talented people there, and there must be a way." Qin Xuan's tone was a little anxious.

Qin Xiaonan looked at his father's slightly haggard face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Dad, don't worry too much. I'm fine." Qin Xiaonan comforted him softly, with a faint smile on his face. "Although this mark is troublesome, it won't have much impact on me for the time being."

"They should have told you that I was once instructed by a master, who also left me a lot of cultivation resources. He will come back to Bo City to find me in a while and help me remove this mark."

"I hope so."

Qin Xuan sighed and patted the back of his son's hand: "As long as you are safe and sound."

The father and son chatted for a while before Qin Xuan reluctantly left the ward. Before leaving, he reminded Qin Xiaonan to rest well and not let her mind wander.

After his father left, Qin Xiaonan leaned against the headboard, looking out the window at the sky, his mind full of thoughts. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto his face, casting a faint golden hue.

His eyes were a little wandering, as if he was recalling something.

Two days later, Qin Xiaonan's injuries had largely recovered. In fact, he hadn't suffered any serious injuries, and with the doctor's permission, he was discharged from the hospital and returned home.

That evening, Qin Xiaonan was walking alone on the street. His pace was neither fast nor slow, and his destination was Mingwen Girls' Middle School.

"Are you sure there is the scent of sandworms here?" Qin Xiaonan asked in a low voice.

The fox demon Qingning raised his head slightly, a glint flashing in his golden pupils. "There's no mistake, it's right there. Although the scent of the sandworms is faint, I can sense it. They must have left traces in this school."

Qin Xiaonan nodded. He vaguely remembered that Mingwen Girls' Middle School had been an important outbreak point in the Bo City disaster.

At that time, the giant-eyed gorilla rat dug a huge hole under the school, and many demons poured out from there. Now, it is not surprising that the breath of sandworms also appeared here.
