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

Chapter 237 Target Found, Focus on the Big Picture and Let Go of the Small Ones!

That's the charm of the most primal, wild nature!

Old Master Huo chuckled.

"OK!"

He readily agreed.

It's like an old man who, without realizing it, enjoys telling stories and boasting about himself.

Qiao Bai: "Tsk tsk."

Qi Rong: "Tsk tsk."

Meng Xi: "Tsk tsk?"

Old Master Huo: "..."

"Forget about Professor Qiao Bai, what are you two twitching about?" Old Master Huo looked at Qi Rong and Meng Xi speechlessly.

"Do you even know what you're doing? You're just randomly clicking your tongue along with everyone else!"

"I don't know!" Qi Rong said very frankly.

Then he spread his hands and said, "But I know that following Teacher Qiao Bai's lead is definitely the right thing to do!"

"If there is any mistake, then it is..." Qi Rong didn't finish his sentence. He glanced at Old Master Huo, who had an unfriendly look in his eyes, and at Qiao Bai, who was smiling at him.

Qi Rong obediently shut her mouth.

I understand.

We can't afford to mess with them.

Don't mess with them.

It's better to just shut up.

Meng Xi, who was also unwittingly dragged into this, was speechless.

"Is it too late for me to admit my mistake now?"

Ok.

Judging from Old Master Huo's unfriendly gaze, the answer was clear: it was definitely too late.

Meng Xi sighed, "I understand, I understand. I will definitely not blindly follow the crowd in the future."

Wasn't he doing this to keep the formation neat?

Although the symbols were still a little messy in the end due to confusion.

However, the message was conveyed nonetheless!

Thinking about this...

Meng Xi glanced at Qi Rong, then quietly glanced at Qiao Bai.

Yep.

Professor Qiao Bai is truly no ordinary person.

Ignoring Meng Xi's increasingly wise gaze, Old Master Huo plopped down on the sofa and said calmly.

"Just like you thought."

"The mastermind is that little girl."

Qiao Bai nodded: "Qin Yan, right?"

"kindness."

Qi Rong and Meng Xi: "?"

The two of them stared at Qiao Bai and Old Master Huo with equally bewildered eyes.

"So, you two opened a private encrypted channel in front of us?" Qi Rong sighed.

Meng Xi nodded, agreeing with Qi Rong's words without any doubt.

If it weren't an encrypted channel, why couldn't he understand anything?

This is not his fault!

Qiao Bai glanced at Meng Xi.

You're learning pretty fast, huh?

Thinking about it, Qiao Bai shook his head with amusement.

"I didn't open an encrypted channel, but I had told the old man about it separately beforehand."

Qi Rong asked, puzzled, "Qin Yan... how come she's the mastermind?"

"To be honest, among your students, I'm more suspicious of the one named Fang Yu."

"He looks so gloomy and depressed."

Qiao Bai gave him a look: "Before there is evidence, it's called suspicion, it's called looking at people with tinted glasses."

Qi Rong raised her hands: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I promise I won't say such things again."

Meng Xi didn't know much about the students in Qiao Bai's small class.

But when it comes to guys with a somewhat dull demeanor...

He immediately thought of a boy who had faced Qiao Bai in the previous competition.

That's true to some extent.

Meng Xi couldn't help but think to himself.

If Qiao Bai hadn't said it wasn't that person...

After learning that there were spies and suspects in the academy, he probably couldn't help but suspect them as well.

On the contrary, it was Qin Yan.

Meng Xi also remembered this girl.

Very lively.

Very cheerful.

It seems like you have a pretty good relationship with the people around you?

She looks like a little ray of sunshine.

However, Qiao Bai said that she was the mastermind...

"Are you sure there's no mistake?" Meng Xi asked hesitantly.

Chopper: "..."

Qiao Bai looked at Meng Xi with a speechless expression.

Meng Xi: "Cough."

Meng Xi clenched her fist and pressed it to her lips, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm just Qianqian..."

"A little suspicion, a little help to defend yourself, is that it?" Qiao Bai said irritably.

Meng Xi chuckled.

He wasn't questioning Qiao Bai, or trying to go against Qiao Bai.

He's just curious.

I just can't understand it.

What exactly made Qiao Bai target that girl named Qin Yan?

"It's a bit complicated," Qiao Bai said, stroking his chin, finding it difficult to explain.

How exactly did they manage to identify Qin Yan?

That's a bit embarrassing to admit.

Because this is not Qiao Bai's achievement.

It's all thanks to his family's AI "angel" and the little sapling that just wants to bask in the sun and enjoy its retirement.

The former noticed something amiss about Qin Yan's motivation.

The latter noticed something was off about Qin Yan's aura.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai was completely unaware of anything.

But since there are cheats available, don't overthink the reasons why.

Furthermore, working backward from the result, many things seem much simpler.

What Qiao Bai didn't say was...

Actually, he had a little bit of doubt about the girl named Little Sheep at first.

cough cough.

Dark history.

Needless to say.

"Qin Yan disguised herself quite well. Even regarding the clues about the Gray Stone incident, she attributed more of it to Xiao Yang," Qiao Bai said calmly.

The other three people present had no idea that Qiao Bai had also suspected the wrong person.

"The spies hidden within the academy have the same goal as I mentioned before: to destroy those geniuses."

"Start by targeting individuals who have minor flaws in their temperament or personality."

"Do it little by little, in batches, so it won't be easily detected."

"The other four people in the small class... oh no, Qian Jin has already succeeded, those are the remaining three, who were actually targets she had been eyeing before."

So why do these five people all look a little off?

Of course, it's because...

In places that cannot be seen.

Qin Yan quietly connected them together.

However, due to Qiao Bai's intervention.

Placing them in the same small class made it difficult for Qin Yan to target all four of them at once.

In the same small class.

All five of them have been attacked by Graystone?

Yes.

Qin Yan considered including herself in the plan.

This is the second person to be infected.

But no matter how you look at it, it still feels a little strange.

Qin Yan regretfully abandoned the plan.

And from the four unlucky ones, they chose one truly unlucky one.

That is, money comes in.

"It does sound a bit unlucky." After listening to Qiao Bai's story, Meng Xi felt like she understood a little.

Even if the details are not very clear, that doesn't matter.

We already know who the real culprit is.

Just arrest them.

"However, it doesn't seem right to say that we've discovered her spy identity; it could easily cause other problems." Meng Xi's mind raced.

"Let's just attribute this to the gray stone industry chain and characterize it as jealousy or some other reason."

"I think it's a good idea." Qi Rong nodded in agreement.

He felt that Meng Xi's consideration made sense.

"Don't worry, I've thought of that too," Qiao Bai said helplessly. "And there's someone specifically assigned to handle the aftermath of this matter."

It would be good enough if they could help find the person.

Are you asking him to continue handling the follow-up matters?

Qiao Bai chose to give up.

Qi Rong: "..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Rong was not surprised at all.

This is indeed something Qiao Bai would do.

Grandpa Huo didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Everyone has been found.

He also left it to Professor Qiao Bai to handle.

Isn't this a waste of Professor Qiao Bai's time?

There are plenty of people who can handle this matter afterward!

Meng Xi, the only one who hadn't had much contact with Qiao Bai, was speechless.

"I don't know why, but I have this feeling that I'm the only normal person among you all," he said with a sarcastic expression.

Qiao Bai smiled.

"Wait." Qi Rong seemed to remember something and called out to stop.

Meng Xi: "?"

Qi Rong ignored Meng Xi and looked at Qiao Bai, saying seriously, "Didn't you say there were two people?"

kindness?

Meng Xi blinked, and remembered this as well.

Yes.

Qiao Bai previously mentioned that there were two people.

It seems they said it was a man and a woman?

"There are two people." Qiao Bai nodded, seemingly not finding anything wrong with what he said.

Qi Rong: "..."

Qi Rong: "Qian Jin?"

When she mentioned the latter name, Qi Rong's voice carried a hint of unspoken resentment.

It was as if they hadn't expected it at all.

However, considering Qiao Bai's attitude...

He ruled out Fang Yu, whom he had previously thought was a possibility.

Zhao Bai made no mention of it at all.

That's practically impossible.

The only remaining option is... money?!

"This isn't right!" Qi Rong rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Qian Jin?"

Why him?

"I wouldn't see any problem with anyone else!"

From Qi Rong's expression, it was clear that he truly couldn't understand this matter.

You must explain why.

Naturally, this is because Qian Jin is a victim of Graystone.

No one would immediately think of the victim, right?

This is also why Qin Yan had previously considered including herself in the scheme.

By becoming a victim, one is largely exempt from suspicion.

This move.

conventional.

But it works.

This is not.

Did this news make Qi Rong and Meng Xi, who also knew about it, start to question their existence?

"Well, how should I put it..." Qiao Bai rested his chin on his hands, striking a pose like a villainous boss.

"And what I can't accept the most is—" Qi Rong interrupted Qiao Bai with a pained expression, "two!"

"Two people have actually infiltrated the academy!"

Qin Yan alone was enough to shock Qi Rong.

There's still money coming in!

Qi Rong couldn't understand.

Qi Rong couldn't imagine it.

No?

When did the Advanced Beast Taming Academy become like a sieve?

With so many holes, how can people from outside just crawl in so easily?

Seeing Qi Rong's pained expression.

Meng Xi, a teacher at the Southwest Advanced Beast Taming Academy, felt neither warmth nor any so-called schadenfreude.

The answer is...

Even the neighboring South China region is like this.

Given the loss of the gray stone in the Southwest, can their Southwest Advanced Beast Taming Academy really be completely unaffected?

Meng Xi really wanted to say that.

But he just couldn't bring himself to do it!

He even had doubts.

Are the mesh holes in their sieve bigger?

Is the situation inside the academy even worse?

Seeing the two people's expressions of pain, Qiao Bai couldn't help but laugh.

Qi Rong and Meng Xi: "..."

The two of them looked at Qiao Bai with speechless, hateful eyes.

How can you still laugh?

Is this what they call happiness built on the suffering of others?

What kind of demon is this?!

Qiao Bai, who understood what the two were thinking, gave them a somewhat speechless look.

"no."

"Can't you guys think of me in a nice way? You're making me sound like some kind of demon king."

"Aren't you the same?" Qi Rong retorted.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai decided to skip this topic.

"Things aren't as serious as you think."

Qiao Bai's words immediately drew their attention away.

"Not as serious as we imagined?" Meng Xi repeated Qiao Bai's words uncertainly, "But the current situation at the South China Advanced Beast Taming Academy does prove that there are internal problems..."

"Stop, stop, stop—" Qiao Bai made a pause gesture.

"Listen to me first."

"Why do I say Qin Yan is the mastermind?" Without needing anyone's agreement, Qiao Bai continued, "Because she is the only one who truly infiltrated from the outside."

What's going on with Qian Jin?

Understanding the questioning look in the other person's eyes, Qiao Bai spread his hands: "Even if other countries wanted to infiltrate, they couldn't send so many genius students to do so."

"Who would be so foolish as to send so many talented people to someone else's territory?"

"Don't you agree with this logic?"

Qi Rong and Meng Xi heard this.

Hey?

That does seem to make some sense!

"No normal person would do that, but there are abnormal countries out there," Old Master Huo, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly said.

"Take that small country next door, for example, it always seems to go crazy from time to time."

"Didn't we just post that a while ago?"

Qi Rong and Meng Xi, who also understood who Old Master Huo was referring to, remained silent.

Don't say it!

You really shouldn't believe it!

They can do things that normal countries wouldn't!

The two of them became even more panicked.

Qiao Bai chuckled.

Old Master Huo chuckled as well.

"Alright, the old man was just kidding you." Qiao Bai interrupted their self-inflicted fear.

"If the Fire Cherry Kingdom really wants to do this, they'll need to have that many geniuses first."

Do you think they look like they exist?

Qiao Bai's words made their hearts sink back to normal.

Oh.

It doesn't seem like it.

well.

The crisis is over.

"Qian Jin's situation... how should I put it?" Qiao Bai stroked his chin: "It's difficult to infiltrate from the outside, but once one person gets in, you can then pull the others on board..."

Qiao Bai shrugged: "The difficulty is much lower."

This is the situation when moving forward.

"It's not certain yet whether there are any other people who have been recruited, but these two are certain."

Listen to what Qiao Bai said.

Qi Rong's face showed an angry expression.

"How could they believe such a person..." Compared to Qin Yan, Qi Rong was even more furious after learning about Qian Jin's situation.

Qiao Bai was at a loss.

Admission to the academy is based on merit.

It's talent.
