Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 27 Zhu Meng: Ning Wei? Just a little kid.

The strongmen in Hangzhou reacted quickly.

After a few minutes of standoff between the man and the snake.

A group of mages, led by Tang Zhong, flew over, flapping their magical wings, and surveyed the Shadow Realm with solemn expressions.

Mu Ningwei sensed their presence and dispersed some of the darkness, allowing Tang Zhong and the others to see him confronting Xuan She in the air.

Tang Zhong immediately flew over, his face grim. "Xuan She, what are you doing out here? Go back!"

The black snake glanced at Tang Zhong, then disappeared into the mist and quickly moved away.

Tang Zhong awkwardly approached Mu Ningwei. "Young man, your shadow magic is truly impressive. May I ask who you are?"

"Your Honor, he is the assistant I invited, Mu Ningwei."

Leng Qing fanned the wings of wind and flew into the air.

Tang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, "So you're Xiao Qing's friend, that's wonderful. Young friend Mu's strength in the Shadow element is truly astonishing."

Mu Ningwei nodded slightly. "Your Honor, I have brought the crowd below under control and minimized casualties. You can handle the rest."

Tang Zhong's face lit up with joy. "Thank you very much, young friend Mu!"

Mu Ningwei looked at an old man with a goatee.

The old man looked somewhat surprised and uncertain, but when he saw Mu Ningwei looking over, he quickly put on a kind smile:

"I am Luo Mian. Young friend Mu has been of great help. I will give you a generous reward on behalf of the Tribunal later."

Tang Zhong slapped his forehead. "That's right, there definitely needs to be a reward!"

……

After parting ways with Tang Zhong and the others, Leng Qing led Mu Ningwei to the villa in the West Lake District.

"I never expected the Black Serpent to actually come out."

Leng Qing shook her head and changed the subject, "Is it alright for your sister to go to the university in Hangzhou alone for an exchange program?"

Mu Ningwei smiled and said, "She is a high-level mage. The problem lies with Hangzhou Academy."

Leng Qing nodded. "That's right. This is my best friend Tang Yue's house. She just messaged me saying that she's trying to appease Xuan She because of the Xuan She incident. Let's go inside first; she won't be back for a while."

Mu Ning readily accepts good advice.

Leng Qing acted as if she were in her own home, offering Mu Ningwei juice and apologizing for Xuan She's recklessness on Tang Yue's behalf.

After all, Mu Ningwei was a guest she had invited to help Xuan She.

The sudden appearance of the black snake startled them, which was rather impolite.

"It's alright. Humans can be short-tempered sometimes, let alone a totem beast. I can understand."

After a while, Tang Yue rushed over.

She was also dressed in revealing clothes, and her breasts were full and prominent.

If Leng Qing is a cool and edgy older sister, then Tang Yue is a charming and mature woman, with fiery red lips and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, making her alluring and captivating.

Leng Qing introduced the two of them.

Tang Yue immediately apologized, saying with a troubled expression:

"I'm sorry, Mu Ningwei. The big guy thought you were extremely dangerous, so he went to greet you. I've already explained it to him, and he understands you're my friend."

"However, the big guys are in their molting period, and they don't trust any high-level mages except me. I hope you won't go near West Lake during this time."

Mu Ningwei nodded, "No problem."

The Black Serpent is a supreme monarch, and during its molting stage, it should possess the strength of a legitimate monarch.

Mu Ningwei believed that with all his might, dealing with a legitimate monarch would be no problem.

The Marquise de Fay is a living example.

Rather than saying that Xuan She was wary of Mu Ningwei, it would be more accurate to say that Xuan She was afraid of him.

Mu Ningwei said, "However, the appearance of the Black Serpent in public this time could easily cause panic. Remember to be prepared. Do you need my help?"

Tang Yue smiled confidently, "Uncle will handle the public opinion well."

"Our Tang family is not weak. We only called Leng Qing here to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"Thank you for coming to help us, but we can overcome this difficulty. As a token of our gratitude, I will cover any expenses you incur in Hangzhou during this time; you can treat it as a vacation."

Mu Ning was surprised by Tang Yue's confidence:

"Since that's what you think, then come find me when you have a problem."

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Mu Ning just smiled and remained silent.

Ye Xinxia and Mo Fan did not know each other, so Mo Fan never came to Hangzhou and stayed in Shanghai to cultivate.

Therefore, before Mu Ningwei arrived, the Black Serpent did not show its face in the bustling city.

Therefore, the public opinion that the plague in Hangzhou was caused by the black snake, and the people's request for Zhu Meng to kill the black snake, did not occur.

Currently, only Zhu Meng's forces are targeting the Xuan Snake.

Given the size of the Tang family, they could easily argue with Zhu Meng and delay until the Xuan Snake has finished its molting period.

But now, Xuan She is wary of Mu Ningwei showing his face.

Everyone now knows that there is a huge, elusive snake demon lurking deep within the bustling city!

It's easy to imagine how much panic this will cause and how heated the online discussion will be.

Can the Tang family suppress public opinion?

Mu Ningwei simply did not believe it.

Luo Mian, a high-ranking member of the Tribunal, will definitely take action. As an inside man, he will label the Xuan Snake as a demon that endangers human lives!

Because Luo Mian was the culprit behind the epidemic in Hangzhou; the epidemic was caused by his sale of fake hemostatic agents.

In order to prevent this matter from being exposed, Luo Mian needed to find a scapegoat.

The black snake could just meet his needs.

Mu Ningwei did not intend to tell Tang Yue about this.

First, Tang Yue is so confident that she might not listen to Mu Ningwei, and might even ignore him.

Secondly, Luo Mian wielded immense power in Hangzhou, and without evidence, it would be difficult to believe he was a villain.

When Zhu Meng and Luo Mian launch a fierce attack, they will shatter the Tang family's confidence.

They will naturally come to plead with Mu Ningwei, so that things will be easier to handle at that time.

"In that case, I'll go and study the epidemic."

Mu Ningwei said, "I used to be a knight in Parthenon, and I have some experience in healing and saving lives. I can do my part to help."

Leng Qing said, "Mu Ningwei once served as a Silver Moon Knight and awakened the Blessing skill, so he must be extraordinary."

Tang Yue was overjoyed. "I'll have my uncle make things convenient for you. The safety of the people of Hangzhou is in your hands!"

Mu Ningwei nodded.

He knew how to cure the epidemic, and by taking the opportunity to have the Tang family help spread the word, he was sure he could gain a lot of faith and divine power.

Even without any benefit, Mu Ningwei would still save people, let alone with such a great benefit.

"Then let's obtain the antidote first, then deal with the Xuan Snake, and finally deal with Luo Mian."

……

at the same time.

Inside the courtroom, in the room where VIPs were received.

Luo Mian met Zhu Meng.

"Zhu Meng, our chance has come!"

Zhu Meng asked in confusion, "What were you doing just now?"

Luo Mian recounted the story of the black snake appearing in the downtown area.

Zhu Meng slammed his fist on the table in anger, "This is outrageous! A monarch appearing in the middle of the city, how many deaths and injuries would that cause? The Tang family actually recognized a demon that has not been restrained in any way as their guardian deity, they are simply traitors to humanity!"

"If the Black Serpent dares to appear in the downtown area today, it might dare to eat people tomorrow. And what it might do the day after is simply unimaginable!"

"We must eliminate this threat now!"

Luo Mian: "Don't be impatient. The Black Serpent is too conspicuous; if it appears in the city, someone will definitely take pictures."

"I will secretly intervene to prevent Tang Zhong from quelling public opinion and make the people believe that the plague was caused by the Xuan Snake."

"When the people petition, if Tang Zhong dares to stop you, I will help you take him down!"

Zhu Meng frowned, somewhat repulsed, and said, "We haven't confirmed the plague caused by the Black Serpent yet. Do you want to throw dirty water on the Black Serpent?"

"This is the fastest and best way. Zhu Meng, don't you want to eliminate this hidden danger?"

Zhu Meng made up his mind, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Luo Mian nodded and sighed softly.

Zhu Meng asked in confusion, "We're about to succeed, why are you sighing?"

Luo Mian's face was grim. "The Tang family has brought in a very powerful outsider. Unless absolutely necessary, we must avoid any conflict with him."

Unexpectedly, "Who?"

"Mu Ningwei".

Zhu Meng laughed loudly, "Who do we have here? It's that famous kid from the Mu family lately."

"I admit he's a genius and might surpass me in the future. But right now he's just a 21-year-old, a kid who hasn't even graduated from college yet. What's there to be afraid of?"

Luo Mian's lips twitched. "I've heard news about Mu Ningwei, but I don't know if it's true. It's said that he's Wen Tai's disciple, once served as a Silver Moon Knight, and captured a monarch during the selection process for the Parthenon Golden Knights."
