Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"It's really nothing serious, I just wanted to use it as an excuse to ask you guys to help me skip class," Lingling said.

Lingling was practically about to explode from being at school!

But if the Qingtian Hunting Grounds didn't offer any bounties, she wouldn't dare skip class...

The intimidation from my older sister!

"So, you just called the two of us over here to take orders on the spot?" Cao Le asked instinctively.

“Yes, and by the way, it’ll help you two gain some status in the Hunter’s Alliance,” Lingling said with a smile.

"What's the point?" Cao Le shrugged.

He really didn't need the status of the Hunter's Alliance.

As long as their status is high enough, they can just ask them whatever information they want. Why should they bother to cultivate themselves?

“Cao Le, you can’t be so heartless! I haven’t told your sister about your little secret!” Lingling continued.

"There's nothing between me and your sister."

"hehe..."

Lingling laughed mockingly: "You treated my sister like that, and now you still want to renege on your debt? Believe me or not, I'll tell Grandpa and have the old man come back and fight you to the death."

"You're ruthless..."

This girl really shouldn't be too smart, like Lingling...

Just outrageous!

Sure enough, thinking about it this way, Cao Ying is quite cute!

Being a little slow isn't so bad, is it...?

"Then Zhao Manyan, you take Lingling to do the mission. I'm going upstairs to cultivate." Knowing he couldn't refuse, Cao Le simply passed the buck to Zhao Manyan.

He was only responsible for logistical support!

When Zhao Manyan heard that he, the dignified young master Zhao, was asked to do things like searching for cats and dogs, he immediately became unhappy.

"If you think your shell is tough enough, then you can stay here."

Okay, before my little temper flared up, now... I'm completely speechless.

His defenses are already very strong.

Even against a super-tier magic, or even a monarch-level attack, Zhao Manyan was confident he could withstand a single blow. But against Cao Le, even at his high-level, he had absolutely no confidence... let alone now?

In the end, Zhao Manyan, the laborer, left with Lingling, while he stayed at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds to cultivate.

Anyway, you're going to be staying somewhere anyway, so staying at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds will at least give your back a rest, right?

Actually, he hasn't been idle these past few days. According to Shao Yu's report, it seems that new sea monsters have appeared in the Flying Bird Base City recently, and they are all very cunning.

These new sirens are, of course, the scavengers.

What was bound to happen has finally happened.

These scavengers are different from the Crimson Demons; they do not like living on islands, but rather underwater.

In this situation, they have no choice but to take the beating. After all, the attackers won't just charge in headfirst; they'll fight for a bit and then turn and run...

The fact that Asuka Base City is still under construction has indeed created a considerable problem...

Fortunately, their several sneak attacks were successfully thwarted, and they did not suffer any serious damage.

Mu Ningxue's cultivation level is currently at the second level of the high-level stage. She has not yet been able to break through to the third level. Therefore, Cao Le suggested that she go to Tianshan.

Qin Yu'er has the same physique as her, and she knows more about cultivation than Qin Yu'er. Going to Tianshan to see Qin Yu'er will not do her any harm.

Of course, he didn't tell her any of this; he just told her to go for a walk in the Tianshan Mountains.

It was because Cao Le assured her that he wouldn't be going anywhere recently, which put her mind at ease, that she went to Tianshan.

I imagine she'll make another significant improvement after this return.

After pondering for a while, he shook his head, calmed himself, and continued his meditation. With so many things to do, it's really difficult to manage without a perfect assistant!

While he was cultivating, Cao Le suddenly thought of someone!

Mu Bai!

Speaking of which, it seems that this son of a bitch is still wasting his days in the ancient capital?

This guy isn't weak either. Besides, he's already established his own family and is supporting people from the Mu family of Bocheng and some of Mu Zhuoyun's close relatives. There's no reason for him not to come and work for me!

Cao Le immediately called Mu Zhuoyun.

He wasn't unwilling to do it himself, but he simply didn't have Mu Bai's phone number anymore.

He had lost all contact information since the catastrophe in the ancient capital.

After learning the purpose of Cao Le's call, Mu Zhuoyun said no problem. Winning over one more member of his clan would also provide a guarantee for Mu Ningxue's position, wouldn't it?

Mu Zhuoyun naturally had no reason to refuse.

He was, after all, someone who had once controlled a family. Although Mu Ningxue was now working diligently for the Cao family, this was no longer the Mu family...

Mu Zhuoyun also knew that, based on his brother Mu He's position as a deacon of the Black Vatican, even if Mu Ningxue was capable, it would be impossible for her to establish a new family like the one in Bo City.

He never thought about that aspect, but he couldn't help but think about fighting for a better position for Mu Ningxue.

With Mu Linsheng's connection, Wen has already established himself in the Cao family. If he could also have a talented member of the Mu family, that would be even better.

Although he had indeed overlooked Mu Bai before, after Bo City and Gudu, their branch of the clan had become pitifully small.

He believed that if Mu Bai was needed at this time, this child would definitely come to his aid...

...

After arranging things for Mu Bai, Cao Le was about to continue his cultivation when Mu Nujiao called, seemingly saying that Shao Zheng had arrived!

Upon learning of Shao Zheng's arrival, he was quite suspicious.

But he still told Lingling and the others a little something before heading back to the apartment.

When they arrived at the apartment and opened the door, Mu Nujiao came over.

She fetched him his new shoes, then asked in a low voice, "Why is the Grand Speaker here? You didn't make a mistake again, did you?"

"What mistakes could I possibly make?" Cao Le didn't lower his voice as he led Mu Nujiao inside.

After Cao Le casually sat down on the sofa, he asked in surprise, "How come you, such a busy person, have time to come see me?"

When Cao Le sat down, Mu Nujiao sat upright in front of the sofa. Although Mu Nujiao usually gave people a dignified and elegant feeling, she was obviously a little too nervous at this moment!

Upon hearing Cao Le speak, Mu Nujiao felt a headache coming on...

Doesn't this guy even know who he is?

...

364. Shao Zheng arrives.

"You should know the situation in China. Actually, I should have come a long time ago, but unfortunately I haven't had the time," Shao Zheng sighed.

“You’ve done a remarkable job, taking many precautions in advance. I think the entire Chinese people should be grateful that you and that guy, one skilled in literature and the other in martial arts, are protecting us,” Cao Le replied.

"Oh?"

Shao Zheng was slightly surprised after hearing what Cao Le said.

A man of letters and a man of war?

Doesn't this mean that Cao Le knows something...?

"Hehe...it seems you know that someone is paying attention to you," Shao Zheng asked.

"I think we were already being watched from the very beginning of the catastrophe in the ancient capital," Cao Le said with a smile.

"How did you know?"

"I can't tell you that."

Shao Zheng didn't ask any more questions, but said, "The prophet has already told me about the Great Pyramid of Giza. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"No need to thank me. The person who insisted on going to rescue the northern border was not me. I just did something that was icing on the cake."

Shao Zheng shook his head and said, "I know about Mo Fan's sacrifices, but I also know about yours. It's just a pity that this matter cannot be made public yet..."

"I don't care."

“Leng Jue, although it was Mo Fan who captured him, according to Mo Fan, it seems that you also gave him credit for it? Mo Fan is not here now, so do you have any questions for him? Tomorrow we will send him to the International Court of Justice for the Holy Tribunal to make a judgment on him,” Shao Zheng said.

"No."

“You still have some grudges with the Holy Tribunal, right? This time, if Leng Jue sends it to the Holy Tribunal in your name, it will be a good opportunity to ease the tension between you and them,” Shao Zheng added.

"I know what this kid is trying to do, but I don't actually need it."

"The Holy Tribunal is not as simple as you think..."

“I know that too, don’t worry, Grand Speaker. I won’t become so arrogant as to ignore the whole world just because I was killed by a judge of the Holy Tribunal. However, I really don’t need that title,” Cao Le continued.

"It's good that you can recognize your own limitations..."

Shao Zheng nodded and continued, "The world is indeed not as simple as you imagine. However, no matter who targets you, the country will stand behind you."

Even though China is an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years, and it doesn't have any angels that control the world, nor is it the ruler of the magic associations of the five continents, anyone who wants to point fingers at China still needs to think twice.

With a large population, there are also a considerable number of mages in China!

There are actually quite a few "forbidden spells" that have always been kept low-key!

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Cao Le was quite moved after hearing what Shao Zheng said.

The Holy City may be very powerful, but their country is not a weak one, and not just anyone can come here and issue orders they shouldn't.

The angels of hundreds of years ago were indeed very powerful; they controlled this world and had their own rules.

But now, especially after Wen Tai, whose popularity once covered most of the earth, died, the angels' power has already begun to shrink.

"No need for thanks. In your generation, we see hope, hope of no longer being oppressed by demons. Also... I heard that you awakened a powerful force on the island before? I'd like to know... was that a totem?"
