Chapter 34 Dragon
Chapter 34 Dragon
This seems like a choice that isn't a choice, since they are currently hosting a party, so how could they just leave halfway through?
And right now, the most important thing is to figure out what the relationship is between this Initial Saint Sect and the S-rank. Caesar looked at the cadre who was busy working on his laptop.
The other party is trying to crack the backdoor of the college's club system to view the club's registrants.
Although the entire academy is under the surveillance of the artificial intelligence Norma, they only want to see some information, and this small amount of damage doesn't seem to be something Norma can do.
"It's cracked!" the official suddenly shouted. "The registrant of the First Saint Sect is...!"
He said that name.
"Lu Mingfei!"
It was their S-rank. So now the situation is quite clear: the S-rank has no intention of joining either side; he has registered a new club on his own.
It seems the other party has quite an appetite. Caesar's thoughts raced.
He decided to ignore the other party and got up to invite his own staff to the dinner.
"Chu Zihang! The paparazzi have spotted Chu Zihang at the Chu Sheng Sect!" The same cadre suddenly shouted again, placing his laptop in front of Caesar.
Caesar looked closely and realized that it wasn't just Chu Zihang; the entire Lionheart Society had appeared at the First Saint Sect.
"Then we..." Caesar swallowed the words he was about to say, looked around at his student council officers, and finally gave the order.
"Go, go where? Go, neither of you are allowed to go."
Rundstedt waved impatiently at Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, who had volunteered, "This is just preliminary exploration. We'll need at least six months to prepare for the actual launch. You should give up on the idea of going down now."
They were currently on a cruise ship in the Three Gorges.
However, this ship, which looks like a cruise ship on the surface, is actually equipped with state-of-the-art detection instruments inside.
Their mission was simple: to find the legendary White Emperor City, which had supposedly sunk into the water a thousand years ago.
Based on the ancient texts the academy found, they were about 50% certain that the legendary lair of the King of Bronze and Fire was located underwater.
"Yes."
Ye Sheng could only leave Rundstedt's cabin with Jiu Deyaji.
Due to the heavy fog, visibility was extremely low, and the cruise ship was not moving very fast.
Therefore, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji came to the stern and quietly watched the white splashes of water stirred up by the propeller.
"It seems this mission will continue until graduation," Ye Sheng said with some emotion.
Shudeya nodded, gave a soft "hmm," and then took a step closer to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng naturally sensed the other person's approach, but this time he did not avoid them as before. Instead, after a tremor, he took the initiative to meet them. Their shoulders touched and their hands were clasped together.
Just a few weeks ago, Shudeyaji took the initiative to confess her feelings to Ye Sheng.
When genuine emotions are revealed without reservation, even the most taciturn and withdrawn person will choose to become a warrior.
So the two got together, but in a very secretive way, because the Executive Department did not allow partners to be lovers when going out on missions.
To prevent their relationship from being exposed and broken up, they had to keep their love secret.
Take today, for example.
"Professor Rundstedt meant well. After all, the situation is unclear, and we might encounter something if we go down there." Shudeya rested her head gently on Ye Sheng's shoulder.
"I know, I know everything," Ye Sheng said with a wry smile. "I just wanted to do my part, didn't I?" he said softly.
Saketo Aki's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but suddenly her gaze fell on the water surface that was faintly visible not far away.
"It looks like something just swam by underwater." She frowned slightly, unsure if she had just imagined it.
"Maybe it's some kind of big fish?" Ye Sheng said casually. "After all, the Three Gorges area is deep, has many caves, and is rich in species. It's not uncommon for there to be some big fish there."
Shokuto Aki nodded slightly, but the doubt in her heart did not lessen in the slightest.
The two chatted and laughed for a while longer before Ye Sheng received a new message asking him to go to the driver's seat to help.
The two were about to leave the aft deck when suddenly a column of water shot into the sky, and the ship rocked violently in the huge waves.
Caught off guard, Shude Aki stumbled and fell on the deck. If Ye Sheng hadn't held her tightly, she would probably have been thrown into the water by now.
"Are you alright, Aki?"
After barely managing to regain his balance, Ye Sheng tried to help Jiu Deyaji up, but the other woman just stared blankly and pointed into the distance.
"Ha!"
Ye Sheng frowned and turned around. The scene before him stunned him, just like Shudeya.
A ferocious dragon head was half-floating on the water's surface, its emotionless golden vertical pupils coldly staring at the two of them.
Dragon.
The same word flashed through their minds, and then another giant wave surged up.
······
Fingel felt he shouldn't have taken on this so-called support mission.
After all, this junior brother Lu Mingfei, according to Chinese proverbs, is someone who acts on a whim.
Before the printed club documents had even cooled down, he dumped this whole mess on me, and even made me send invitations to the student council and the Lionheart Club at the same time when they were both hosting banquets and competing with each other.
Poor Fingel was penniless. Although he had won some pocket money from gambling, it was far from enough to host a banquet.
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei, as the honorary principal, has an honor that extends beyond his name. At least in terms of the college's dining facilities, he still enjoys a certain amount of free dining time.
So, right in front of his detached single apartment, Fingel hosted a very American country-style barbecue party.
All the food and supplies were sponsored by the college cafeteria; all he needed to do was distribute the tickets.
He simply hadn't expected that the Lionheart Society would actually come.
At this point, they had a clear division of labor; some were grilling, and some were eating, and they really did a pretty good job.
"Is there no time for S-rank? I'd like to meet him." At that moment, a voice interrupted Fingel's recollection.
Wearing an apron, Chu Zihang had a cold look in his eyes. He seemed to have just finished the barbecue task assigned to him.
"Uh, Junior Brother Lu is still very busy right now, it will probably take a while," Fingel stammered in response.
In reality, he had no idea about Lu Mingfei's current situation, because no matter how many times he knocked on the door or made the phone call, there was no response from the other party.
He hoped he could get away with it.
Just then, the sound of brakes came from the entrance, and men and women dressed in black suits filed in, led by a handsome blond man.
"Is the S-rank here? I, Caesar Gattuso, have come to pay my respects."
