Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 218 Bad things should be said face-to-face! What do you want to gain by stirring up trouble?

It possesses the power of a ninth-tier Jianmu tree.

It still allowed Qiao Bai's body to undergo a qualitative leap.

The most obvious difference is in appearance.

Radiant with health.

It's comparable to a magic potion.

"Maybe you think I'm more handsome, which affects your perception," Qiao Bai said in a serious tone, spouting nonsense.

Cheng Liang and Peng You, who had come to greet Qiao Bai and happened to overhear this conversation, were both bewildered.

Cheng Liang and Peng You: Terrified.jpg

Did they hear something they shouldn't have, and are they going to be silenced?

Qiao Bai turned around and saw two guys with wide eyes and open mouths.

Qiao Bai coughed.

"Is the evolution verification report for Thundertooth Tiger complete?"

Making conversation when there's nothing to say.

Change the subject.

Qiao Bai's main tactic is to pretend he doesn't understand.

Zhou Xinran: "Hehe."

Fortunately, Zhou Xinran didn't press the matter further, otherwise Qiao Bai would have had a real hard time explaining.

"Women's eyes are really sharp," Qiao Bai sighed.

Why doesn't he try staying up late during this period to see if he can make himself look a little haggard?

Such a thought only flashed through Qiao Bai's mind before he decisively gave it up.

Let's forget about that.

It took a long time for my health to improve.

Let's not waste it.

At worst, I can eat and sleep well during this time, which will make it easier to explain to outsiders.

Ask three questions.

If you ask again, just pretend you don't know.

Seeing that the atmosphere between Qiao Bai and Zhou Xinran had returned to normal, Peng You and Cheng Liang looked at the two of them with curiosity in their eyes.

No?

What exactly happened?

"Professor Qiao Bai, what happened to Wanmu City when they went missing?" Peng You cautiously approached Qiao Bai.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked.

Qiao Bai: "Want to hear?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Peng You nodded frantically.

Cheng Liang, who had been silent, occasionally cast curious glances his way.

take a look.

Take one more look.

I was too embarrassed to ask.

But listening to them together shouldn't be a big problem!

then……

"Guess, I'll tell you if you guess right," Qiao Bai said with a smile.

Peng You and Cheng Liang: "..."

It's confirmed.

Professor Qiao Bai was just teasing them.

Qiao Bai, who was indeed teasing the two of them, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he saw their depressed expressions.

Pain can be transferred.

Happiness can be easily obtained.

However, Qiao Bai didn't go too far.

Amusing the child.

Click till.

Then Qiao Bai changed the subject and briefly told them what had happened in Wanmu City.

"...That's roughly it. I don't know the specifics, and it's not that important."

"Just bring them back."

Qiao Bai said very straightforwardly.

"Professor Qiao Bai, you really are..." Peng You hesitated, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Forget it.

As expected of Professor Qiao Bai.

They really have absolutely no curiosity.

Qiao Bai smiled.

Even the most convoluted story is still just that.

Qiao Bai originally had some curiosity and other interests about Wanmu City.

However, after seeing and taking Jianmu away, Qiao Bai felt no connection to Wanmu City anymore.

Whatever.

Anyway, he probably won't go back to that place.

Qiao Bai didn't see any problem with it at all and set a big flag.

the other side.

three days later.

Qiao Bai received a call from Jiang Heng.

"You don't call unless you have a reason. I always feel like you can't be up to anything when you call me," Qiao Bai said calmly.

There was absolutely no sense of guilt about speaking ill of others in front of them.

Because of Qiao Bai, because of Wanmu City, Jiang Heng, who was working overtime day and night, was speechless.

Qiao Bai landed a critical hit.

"Shut up."

Jiang Heng gave Qiao Bai a deliberately fierce look.

Ning Ruxue, who had also joined the conference call, couldn't help but chuckle softly upon seeing this.

Jiang Heng: "..."

I'm so angry.

Take two deep breaths.

Jiang Heng tried to calm himself down.

"Let me tell you first, you haven't forgotten that the day after tomorrow is the day you receive your award, have you?" Jiang Heng said, looking sharply at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai calmly replied without a hint of guilt.

"I haven't forgotten."

Jiang Heng: "Heh."

Judging from her expression, she knew that Qiao Baizhen hadn't remembered this matter.

"Your lying skills have improved quite a bit," Jiang Heng said irritably. "If you really haven't forgotten, you went to Wanmu City a few days ago?"

"Aren't you afraid you won't be back for ten days or half a month?"

Qiao Bai: "I believe in my abilities, and I also believe in the abilities of the authorities."

Jiang Heng let out another cold laugh.

Let's just talk official jargon.

Whatever.

Anyway, as long as Qiao Bai doesn't interfere with important matters... well, even if he does, they can't do anything to Qiao Bai.

Thinking about this, Jiang Heng felt an even bigger headache.

Her workload increased little by little, inexplicably!

Sometimes even Jiang Heng himself feels helpless!

"Anyway, you remember now, but the day after tomorrow! Don't forget!"

"You're going to get a promotion eventually! Can't you at least take this a little seriously?"

Qiao Bai nodded, not really caring.

Professor of Pets?

Okay, okay.

However, he still preferred the title of Beast Tamer.

Seeing that Qiao Bai didn't care, and knowing that Qiao Bai would definitely keep his promise, Jiang Heng breathed a sigh of relief no matter what.

Then he continued.

"We conducted a follow-up investigation into the situation in Wanmu City."

As Jiang Heng spoke, his voice gradually calmed down from its breakdown.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai noticed something was off: "Isn't it because of jealousy, or some other random reason?"

What was that called again?

Qiao Bai couldn't remember anymore.

In short, it was that middle-aged man.

Qiao Bai could tell from the look in his eyes that he harbored deep jealousy.

To Dala Zhaxi.

For Azar.

For other young people.

Driven by extreme jealousy and distorted thinking, it's not impossible for someone to do something drastic.

So Qiao Bai was too lazy to listen to his nonsense at the time.

Just keep it to yourself.

But judging from Jiang Heng's expression now, this matter doesn't seem to be that simple.

"At first, we thought the same thing as you," Jiang Heng said.

However, this matter involves many professors and experts in the field of pets.

Qiao Bai made a trip.

After thinking it over, they decided to conduct a thorough investigation.

"On the surface, this is just something a middle-aged man who has achieved nothing, whose talent is not as good as that of young people, whose mentality is unbalanced, did in a moment of impulse."

Jiang Heng succinctly summarized the whole story in one sentence.

The kind of thing that Qiao Bai thought of.

"Including that guy named Lama, he thinks so too."

"But after our in-depth investigation, we found that things were not that simple."

Jiang Heng said.

Manmoku City is a rare city where all the residents are interconnected.

The complicated relationship of a second aunt's niece's sister's brother-in-law's daughter is a real one in Wanmu City.

Because of the subtle connection between bloodlines.

The residents of Manmoku City actually get along quite well.

Respect the elderly and care for the young.

Mutual tolerance.

They look after each other.

Even minor disagreements and conflicts can be resolved quickly, with both sides shaking hands and making peace.

It's practically the utopian world of my imagination.

Seniors are not jealous of juniors.

They hope to see the younger generation thrive and surpass their predecessors.

because of this.

At first, the old man did not suspect his own people.

Their own family would never do such a thing!

then.

This led to the emergence of Lama, who was exceptionally different from others in the utopian society.

"This is not right." Hearing Jiang Heng's words, Qiao Bai quickly realized the problem.

Jealousy can drive people to do things that are completely unimaginable.

However, the impact of the overall environment is not something to be taken lightly.

In the atmosphere of Manmoku City.

Logically speaking...

Rama may be jealous, but that jealousy shouldn't be expressed in such an exaggerated way.

Not right.

Something is very wrong.

"It's normal that you feel something's wrong," Jiang Heng said, "because there's someone maliciously manipulating Lama."

Jiang Heng paused for a moment as he spoke.

"It's not just Lama."

"Other relatively ordinary residents of Wanmu City were also contacted and drawn in."

"Among them, Rama was the one most deeply influenced by the guidance."

"However, we suspect that other methods may have been used in this case."

Qiao Bai: "Hypnosis? Brainwashing?"

"It's not that exaggerated. If they kept hypnotizing and brainwashing him, it would be impossible for the people around him not to notice the problem."

Ning Ruxue interjected.

The hypnotic and brainwashing skills of supernatural beings are all time-limited.

It's impossible to maintain this indefinitely.

"It tends to guide and amplify negative emotions."

Jiang Heng nodded.

"That's right."

Qiao Bai seemed thoughtful, then asked the most important question: "Has anyone been found out who did this?"

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to find.

but……

"Although we don't have direct evidence, we can identify the organization behind it."

Hearing Jiang Heng's words, Qiao Bai's face showed a curious expression.

No evidence.

But can it be locked?

No?

What kind of organization is this? What kind of villains are they?

"Imperial Spire".

"A notorious troublemaker."

Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"We also suspect that the Imperial Spire was involved in the previous escapades between Celia and the Fire Sakura Kingdom."

"And if that's the case, it would explain the source of those two papers and content reports."

The imperial spire that undermined the walls of various countries.

Finding two outstanding professors and figuring out their favorability ratings based on only a few snippets of information in a short time is difficult.

But writing a half-finished paper is still easy.

……

"The Imperial Spire..."

When Qiao Bai learned about this organization for the first time, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Ah... "I have a feeling that this organization is secretly plotting something bad behind my back." Qiao Bai said, stroking his chin.

After the conference call between Jiang Heng and Ning Ruxue ended.

Qiao Bai searched for information about the Imperial Spire online.

The polarization is very severe.

Supported.

They believe that the Imperial Spire is a borderless, truly academic organization.

It also provided a place for those persecuted scholars to stay.

No exploitation.

Do not force.

Let them roam freely on the path of scientific research on pet animals.

Opposed.

The Imperial Spire's efforts to undermine the foundation of the city are too ruthless.

Extremely ruthless.

No country has ever escaped being dug up.

Including China.

Qiao Bai: "?"

"This Imperial Spire is really something." After reading all the true and false stories about the Imperial Spire's deeds on the internet.

Qiao Bai interlaced his fingertips and fell into thought.

some things.

You can't just look at how others do it.

Instead, we should look at what they gained behind the scenes.

Take, for example, the recent incident in Manmoku City...

"Does the Imperial Spire know that the shape of the wreath does not affect its power?" Qiao Bai murmured.

Dala Zhaxi didn't know.

Is it possible that the Imperial Spire knows?

Qiao Bai wasn't sure.

He decided to ask the person involved directly.

huh~

A small sapling sprouted.

Following closely behind were Little Crow, Cat Bug, Little White Snake, and Little Jellyfish.

"Qiao Bai!"

The little tree, Jianmu Lily, excitedly waved its branches at Qiao Bai.

Even without a face, you could tell that Xiao Jianmu was very happy.

"I have something to ask you." Qiao Bai briefly told the sapling about the Imperial Spire.

"Think back, have you had any contact with anyone from them?"

Jianmu Lily: "Huh?"

The sapling bent over.

Under Qiao Bai's expectant gaze, Jianmu Lily said, somewhat embarrassed yet self-assured, "I don't remember!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

"It's not my fault!" Jianmu Lily tried to move her body.

It is a pity.

He is a tree.

It was a sapling that had shrunk, its strength greatly diminished, and even moving its body had become difficult.

Qiao Bai couldn't stand it any longer, so he picked up Jianmu Lily and put her into the flowerpot that had been prepared beforehand.

Jianmu Lily felt the abundant energy within the soil.

It happily shook the branches, swaying left and right, and finally took root completely in the flowerpot.

"I love it here! I'm staying here!"

"I want to breathe fresh air and bask in the fresh sunshine!"

Qiao Bai: "Okay, but you're not allowed to move around unnecessarily."

Although Qiao Bai was able to explain the origin of the sapling after it was discovered.

But it's best to avoid trouble if possible.

"Okay," Jianmu Lily readily agreed.

Seeing Jianmu Lily's happy expression, Qiao Bai asked about the Imperial Spire again.

"I really don't remember," Jianmu Lily said in a soft voice. "I spend most of my time sleeping."

Qiao Bai thought for a moment and then asked a different question.

"Isn't the space you're in accessible to all humans?"

"Has any other human been inside besides me?"

Jianmu Lily: "Hmm... Yes, there are five besides you, but I don't remember what they look like."

Qiao Bai was not surprised at all by this answer.

no way.

Time is the least valuable thing to Jianmu.

In that void, where no one knows exactly where, the passage of time is even more imperceptible.

Jianmu spends most of its time sleeping.

During the few times when they are awake, they will encounter humans who, by chance, have entered that void.

There are men and women.

To Jianmu, they looked remarkably alike.

The scents they exuded seemed to be quite similar.

They are all human beings, ordinary people.

Jianmu didn't communicate with them much and simply sent them away.

Qiao Bai was the only exception.
