A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 55 Is it you? Mr. Red Priest and Ms. Dreamer
Chu Zihang and Caesar stopped at the same time, but Chen Motong wouldn't stop. With her left arm around her best friend Su Qian's shoulder, she jumped up and down excitedly, deliberately raising her right arm high: "Chu Zihang! Go for it!"

"Susie, come too, let's cheer for Chu Zihang together!"

"..." No, sis, are you serious?

Susie's expression was extremely strange. Chu Zihang had been away from the academy for so long, and she really wanted to take a closer look.

But now that her crush was being held so tightly by a blond nobleman, with both arms and legs, Susie was genuinely afraid that she would explode if she looked at him for even a second longer.

Nuonuo even asked her to join the cheerleading squad and cheer for Chu Zihang in his predicament.
Please spare everyone!
In this situation where a strongman is locking up a man, it feels very wrong to support or cheer for anyone, right?
Susie tried to pull on Chen Motong's wrist, hoping her best friend would control herself and stop shouting.

Her efforts were completely useless. Chen Motong never missed a good show. Fortunately, Chu Zihang and Caesar realized something was wrong. Caesar quickly let go and landed awkwardly.

The usually elegant young nobleman could no longer maintain his 'calm and composed' expression; his icy blue eyes darted around, looking at everything with disapproval.

What the hell is going on?! His image as a noble young master is ruined! Especially since he embarrassed himself in front of Chen Motong!
Wait! Caesar suddenly remembered someone else—Fingal!

The student union's press minister, personally appointed by Caesar, and the paparazzi captain who commands all the paparazzi in Kassel!
This person is an expert in all kinds of paparazzi photography and news, and he makes a lot of revelations on the campus's Night Watchers forum, from professors' privacy to college gambling, all of which are under Fingel's control.

That's why Caesar thought highly of Fingel and brought him into the student council to manage the news department. Could it have been filmed just now?
The thought of Caesar clinging tightly to Chu Zihang and having the image spread throughout the Kassel Forum sent chills down his spine.

Caesar slowly scanned his surroundings, his heart gradually calming down. Thank goodness, Fingel wasn't there. He'd heard Fingel had been spending all his time in the library lately.

Regardless of why Fingel went to the library, it's a good thing he didn't take any random photos.

Chu Zihang remained as cold as ever, as if what had just happened had no effect on him or disturbed his emotions.

However, Chu Zihang did not make eye contact with his familiar deputy, Su Xi, as if the flowers in the garden were particularly beautiful and had captured his entire attention.

Susie is now filled with regret. She shouldn't have dragged Nono over; otherwise, the garden wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now.

Susie had originally planned to go and say hello to Chu Zihang, but the atmosphere at the scene really didn't allow it!

Chen Motong glanced at her best friend on the left, then at the two grown men on the right, and strangely calmed down.

He went from being extremely active to extremely still, hiding behind Susie and quietly observing the three people in the garden, analyzing their expressions and inner thoughts.

It was as if the red-haired priestess who had just been jumping around was just an illusion; the real her was watching the play quietly away from the stage.

In Chen Motong's view, who had been promoted to mind reader, Caesar's inner state was the most superficial, and he was the first one she saw through.

He was probably filled with regret and embarrassment, and wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground. He never expected that the proud young master of the past would be like a shy boy at this moment.

Then there's her best friend Susie. Tsk tsk, her heart is truly with Chu Zihang. Hmm? Is she even regretting bringing her along?
"She's so fickle, forgetting all principles for the sake of beauty," Chen Motong thought to herself, cursing her best friend.

Finally, there's Chu Zihang, the one Chen Motong finds hardest to see through, because she can't detect much embarrassment on his face; instead, she sees hesitation and confusion.

He didn't care at all about the scene of the two grown men embracing; instead, he was thinking about something more important.

If Chen Motong had to describe him, he would probably say he's a good person who hesitates about whether to violate morality and use methods that good people shouldn't use for a certain matter.

After Chu Zihang was promoted to a Provocateur, in addition to his physical fitness improving again, his spirituality also increased significantly. He quickly noticed Chen Motong's gaze on him.

Chu Zihang immediately became wary. He had never forgotten the first time Mr. Fool dragged him to the Gray Mist Palace for a meeting, and the Dreamer's undisguised red hair.

Chen Motong remained expressionless, her eyes fixed straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought and unaware of Chu Zihang's gaze.

She had a feeling, and she knew very well that Chu Zihang was looking at her hair. The man in the Kassel executive department trench coat had looked at her hair with a similar gaze during their first meeting in the Gray Fog.

So, Mr. Red Priest/Ms. Dreamer, is that you?
Their eyes met casually, then looked away just as naturally.

"Hey!" Caesar couldn't hold back any longer, and for a moment he couldn't maintain his gentlemanly manners: "Chu Zihang, you have a day of freedom, and then we'll have a real fight."

Everyone in Kassel knows that Caesar is pursuing Chen Motong, so why is Chu Zihang able to flirt with Chen Motong?

Chen Motong was just cheering for Chu Zihang.

Coupled with Chu Zihang's provocation earlier, he got angrier and angrier. If Caesar could hold back and keep quiet, he wouldn't be Caesar.

Chu Zihang didn't hesitate for long before finally making his decision. He silently apologized to Caesar in his heart: 'I'm sorry, Caesar, I owe you a huge favor.'

While digesting the Hunter's Potion and praying to Mr. Fool for the Provocateur's Potion recipe, he casually asked a question.

When Meng Yutang first recruited Chu Zihang for the old church, he introduced the hunter's path as the path of playing with fire. Why is it that fire is never seen?

When Mr. Fool calmly told Chu Zihang that the Hunter Path Sequence 7 was called the Arsonist, Chu Zihang already understood that his own Path Sequence 7 was the qualitative change!
Therefore, Chu Zihang changed his plans and decided to stay at school for a period of time.

When I go out on missions, I specifically provoke Deadpool, Fallen Half-Blood, and the like, because my potion digestion efficiency is too low.

To digest the Provocateur Potion more quickly, staying in Kassel is the best option.

With so many students in such a large college, there are more than enough people to meet the role-playing needs.

While provoking classmates is somewhat unethical, Chu Zihang decided to do it anyway for the sake of power.

However, Chu Zihang would remember all the classmates he offended and would definitely find an opportunity to repay their favors in the future.

Of course, the one we owe the most to is our Caesar.

Because Chu Zihang was intentionally provoking him this time: "Is it alright?"

"Freedom Day involves all students in the school. Everyone will probably see that you have been defeated by me."

"Hmph!" Caesar regretted not bringing Dick's hunting knife with him when he went out. He really wished he could chop Chu Zihang in half with one stroke: "Don't talk big!"

"When the time comes and the winner is decided, the entire academy will know who the real number one is."

Chen Motong watched the duel between the two grown men quietly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Her best friend Susie had told Chen Motong a lot about Chu Zihang, which made her remember Chu Zihang very well.

Knowing that he is a cold-faced but warm-hearted man with high emotional intelligence, it is unlikely that he would deliberately engage in such pre-match trash talk.

Such deliberate provocation—could this Chu Zihang, who is suspected to be the Red Priest, be playing a role?

A certain magical potion that must be challenged?

It’s getting really interesting.
