Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 82 Come with me, Holy Maiden

"Okay, I'll cooperate with Councilor Cheng," Azhariya said helplessly.

"In that case, let's go back the way we came," Cheng Xiao said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Xiao turned around, Asha Ruya had many dazzling silver threads in her hand.

"Space scroll!" The gray-white mysterious man's expression changed.

The dazzling silver threads intertwined continuously, quickly forming a spatial teleportation array.

Space scrolls are extremely rare items, and their production costs are very high; even Asha's Asha has very few.

"Councilor Cheng, I've taken note of what happened today. We'll meet again someday," Asha Ruya said with a smile, watching Cheng Xiao's retreating figure.

But when Cheng Xiao turned around, she froze.

The spatial power emanating from Cheng Xiao's eyes seemed to have sealed off the space in this area!

Dominator's power!

An invisible force forcefully pulled Asha's Ya out of the teleportation array area formed by the spatial scroll.

Asaria came to her senses. The spatial teleportation array had disappeared, and she was standing alone a few meters away from Cheng Xiao.

丸辣

Cheng Xiao casually flicked his wrist, sending a mental imprint into Asha's body.

Asha Riya let out a muffled groan that could easily be misunderstood, feeling something enter her mind.

"It seems you're not very willing to cooperate, so I'll have to resort to some tougher measures," Cheng Xiao said.

"This mental mark cannot be removed with your current mental strength; I will know everything you think and do."

"Cooperate obediently. Once this is over, I will remove the mental mark. If you still want to run away..."

Cheng Xiao gave her a friendly smile but didn't continue.

Asha's eyes and expression had completely changed; she was no longer as calm and gentle as before.

"Cheng Xiao, right? Okay, very good, I'll remember you!" Asha Ruya said in a deep voice.

As a saint and a fallen angel walking among mortals, she had never been treated like this before.

But Azharia still retained her rationality and wouldn't expose her fallen angel identity because of this.

"It's an honor to be remembered by the Holy Maiden," Cheng Xiao said with a smile, completely unconcerned.

"Since you've been arrested, you'll have to come with me obediently, Your Majesty?"

Asha Ruya didn't give Cheng Xiao a friendly look.

Today, Cheng Xiao really outmaneuvered me, and I even wasted a space scroll.

"Brother Cheng is really impressive as a councilor," Mo Fan couldn't help but say.

"They are not afraid of powerful figures, and even the Parthenon Saintess is treated with impartiality." Zhang Xiaohou nodded in agreement with Mo Fan's statement.

"By the way, what exactly is this Parthenon Saintess?"

"Brother Fan, this is the consequence of not paying attention in class."

..............................

Along the way, Cheng Xiao and the gray-haired mystery man exchanged information.

Cheng Xiao told Jiu You Hou the information without hiding anything.

As Cheng Xiao had expected, the information exchanged between the gray-haired mystery and Asha's Ruya was indeed related to Salang.

However, this intelligence could not pinpoint the exact suspects, but rather broaden the scope of suspicion.

Back to the ancient capital.

Huacun and Fanggu had arrangements made by the court, so they were set aside for the time being.

Cheng Xiao and the others, together with the gray-white mysterious man, found Han Ji, the president of the Clock Tower Magic Association, the highest magic association in the ancient capital!

Upon learning the news, Han Ji immediately arrested Mu He, the chief steward of Hujin.

But Mu He had already gone into hiding, and even the Imperial Guard mages couldn't find him.

"Councilor Cheng, thank you so much for this aid to the ancient capital. On behalf of the entire ancient capital, I, Han Ji, am deeply grateful." After saying this, Han Ji sighed again.

"I just never expected that there would be such a huge conspiracy behind this, like the Black Vatican!"

"Sarang has infiltrated the upper echelons of the ancient capital, but without these high-ranking combatants, how are we supposed to face those fallen kings?"

Cheng Xiao smiled and looked at Asharuya:

"The Holy Maiden knows information about Salang, but surely she knows more than just this?"

Asharuya looked at Cheng Xiao and sneered:

"Councilor Cheng, I'm just an ordinary saint from Parthenon. It's already quite surprising that I know any information about the Cardinal, isn't it?"

"Really?" Cheng Xiao's smile widened.

"According to legend, Saint Azharia of Parthenon was once the adopted daughter of the previous Saint Venté.

"Wen Tai has a wife named Ye Chang. Surely Your Excellency knows her identity better than anyone else, right?"

Asha'ruya initially thought Cheng Xiao was desperate and clueless, trying to extract more information about Salang from her.

But after hearing this, Asha's face darkened completely.

She questioned in a cold voice:

"How did you know all this?!"

"You have your intelligence network, and I have my own intelligence network," Cheng Xiao said.

"Confess honestly, Your Holiness, regardless of your identity."

"If you continue to conceal this under these circumstances, don't blame me for taking a tougher approach."

Now that the ancient capital is in imminent danger, even though Cheng Xiao's actions were inappropriate, neither Han Ji nor the gray-white mysterious man tried to dissuade him.

Asha's chest heaved with anger. She felt like Cheng Xiao had her firmly in his grasp, seeing through everything, and there was no way for her to escape.

"You've already offended me. If you're any more forceful, can you handle the consequences?" Asha's sneer threatened.

Cheng Xiao remained silent, stepped forward, and reached out to press his hand on her head.

Asha's expression changed instantly. She took two steps back and said resentfully:

"I was just joking with Councilor Cheng, why are you in such a hurry?"

Everyone's eyes were on her, especially Cheng Xiao, who looked like she was about to attack if she didn't say anything.

Asha'ruya took a deep breath and said:

"My godfather Wen Tai's wife is indeed Ye Chang, now Cardinal Salon."

"But I know very little about her; all I can tell you is that Salam is indeed a woman."

"If you don't believe me and think I've concealed information about Salam, then deal with me as you please!"

As Asharuya said those last words, her gaze remained fixed on Cheng Xiao, clearly indicating that she held a grudge against him.

"Then I'm here?" Cheng Xiao deliberately raised his hand, preparing to perform a mind search.

This time, instead of dodging, Asha'ruya took the initiative to step forward.

The two were very close, their chests almost touching.

Asha'ruya looked defiant, as if afraid Cheng Xiao wouldn't make a move.

"Looks like we really have no more information."

Cheng Xiao nodded and stepped back; he had only meant to scare him.

"Are you scared?" Asha Ruya sneered disdainfully.

Cheng Xiao ignored her.

Asha's eye twitched. This guy is so infuriating!

After the little incident, Han Ji said to Asha Ruya:

"Saintess Asha, you have proven your innocence. What happened before was unavoidable and may have been offensive."

"What follows is a calamity that our ancient capital must face itself. You may leave now."

Without a second thought, Asha'ruya turned and left.
