Someone Finally Realizes Something Is Wrong (Continued)

"I remember Kiana saying something similar about me... I'm really curious about how you all see me."

"Hmm... the evil, cunning, and ruthless lackey of the Bishop of Schicksal?" Mei gave an assessment that made Rita slightly unhappy, but she couldn't refute it.

"Pfft..." Mei, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

"... I'm so sorry, Mei, please don't sleep too soundly tonight."

"... What are you going to do?"

"Having fooled His Holiness the Bishop for so long, it's time to produce some results. Hmm, I think you're quite suitable, Mei."

"Please spare me." Mei immediately raised her hands in surrender.

The next moment, everyone chuckled in unison.

"Mei, your willpower is so weak. How did Nancy teach you?"

"That's better than Liu Bai being seduced by beauty, right? I'm more curious about how Sister Edison will react after I tell Edison about this."

"Tsk, this has nothing to do with beauty... to influence, to influence, you understand?"

"So Liu Bai approached me with ulterior motives? I really misjudged him... sobs"

"No, that's not it. And don't say the onomatopoeia out loud... tsk, I have a feeling it's making things worse?"

"It's alright, no matter what happens, I will accept your advice, teacher. After all, I am your student."

Just then, a gray Koenigsegg slowly drove up to the group of people who were joking with each other.

"Have I been gone for a few days? Why does the atmosphere between you guys suddenly seem so much better?"

"No, it's nothing. Miss Shiora, you were very quick. It only took two or three minutes."

Rita chuckled, then looked at the Raven's car. "Miss Shiora, your car is nice. It seems you're not as poor as you say. If I remember correctly, this is Koenigsegg Gemera, one of only 300 in the world."

"Tsk, stop being so nosy."

Raven shook his head somewhat unhappily.

"Just get on the bus."

"Hey, Kiana, what are you daydreaming about again? I'm explaining the principles of the Tai Xu Sword God to you right now!"

Shibao looked at Kiana, who was lost in thought, with great dissatisfaction.

"Hey! Wake up! Snap out of it!"

"Ah! I'm so sorry!"

Kiana didn't realize what was happening until Shibao waved his hand in front of Kiana.

"Um... where were we, class monitor?"

"... Although I really don't want to say this, Kiana, you didn't listen to a word of what I said, did you?"

Shibao smiled and clenched his fist.

"You've wasted most of my day—that's the time I usually spend with Teacher Liu!"

"Um... Squad leader, calm down, calm down! There won't be a next time!"

Seeing Shibao, Kiana quickly tried to appease him.

Getting punched by this guy in front of me is no joke.

"It's best if there isn't a next time."

Shibao pouted, "But why do you need to give me a reason for daydreaming?"

"... Did you eat too much for breakfast?"

"No, why is that a question? Are you asking me?"

"Um... okay, actually I miss Mei a little."

Kiana sighed, looking somewhat dejected.

"Before we knew it, four months had passed... almost half a year has gone by."

"Ah... now that you put it that way, it really is..."

Upon hearing Kiana's reason, Shibao scratched his head, realizing he couldn't continue blaming Kiana.

"I feel like I haven't seen Mei and the others in Mei, and I even got shot in the head before... If all else fails, you can go see Mei and have a look at her, anyway, those two don't look that different."

"Dr. Mei?" Kiana thought for a moment. "No, no, no! No way! My heart is set on Mei!"

"Alright, there's nothing we can do about it then."

Shibao shrugged. "You should know that you're not in the right condition to run around, so don't make me worry."

"Okay! I'll try my best to learn..."

"Are you talking about Raiden Mei?"

The Gray Serpent walked over unhurriedly.

"If I remember correctly, she was also in Sky Dome City not long ago—as one of the people in charge of my transaction."

"Huh?"

"Didn't I tell you before? The Far East Branch came to me to trade information about you. At that time, that Miss Rita dismantled one of my bodies, and Raiden Mei and the others fought with me."

Gray Serpent glanced at Kiana.

"However, the transaction ended some time ago. Perhaps I can get you some video footage from that time?"

"Okay, okay!"

Kiana naturally had no objection to Gray Serpent's initiative in offering assistance.

"I didn't realize you were such a nice guy, Uncle Gray Serpent!"

"..."

The Gray Serpent, who was called "Uncle," had mixed feelings.

But whatever, I'm just idling around anyway, so helping K423 adjust his mindset is all I need to do.

"I'm going to access the Sky Dome City database..."

"Tsk, so that means we're going to have to temporarily stop teaching again, right?" Shibao pouted unhappily. "Seriously, why am I teaching Kiana instead of spending this nice day with Teacher Liu..."

"Sorry, sorry, just this once~~"

"Uh... wait, what's this?" Gray Serpent asked, sounding slightly surprised.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"... No, it's nothing."

This is unbelievable! Today's surveillance footage shows Mei, Rita, and Raiden Mei shopping together in the mall.

Do I need to say more about where Lord Liu Bai is?

... Wouldn't it have the opposite effect if K423 found out about this?

However, this does not affect Gray Serpent's belief that his master is truly amazing.

"My gut feeling tells me that guys who say 'no, it' are usually trying to hide something."

Shibao patted Gray Serpent on the shoulder without any hesitation.

"For the sake of that old woman Mobius, Gray Serpent, what interesting thing did you see?"

"... Do you really want to hear this?"

Serpent Lord, even setting aside Raiden Mei, who would destabilize K423's mentality, the mere fact that Lord Liu Bai is suspected of dating three other people is enough to... well, Gray Serpent thinks this is enough to drive Mobius into a rage.

Since you've put it that way, I really have no choice but to listen.

Shibao looked at the Gray Serpent with great interest.

"..."

The Gray Serpent fell silent for a moment.

This matter involves Lord Mei, Lord Hua, Lord Liu Bai... Could it get any worse?

Okay, fine, it also involves K423—why didn't you include Lord Mobius as well?

Let's just handle this officially without taking any stance.

After all, his Serpent Lord Mobius is not here now, so he doesn't need to take a stand.

"Okay, let's stick to the point. This morning—around the time you were having breakfast— Rita, Mei, Mei went out shopping together."

"--ha?"

Shibao frowned.

"What about Teacher Liu?"

"I can't see Lord Liu Bai."

Oh... the latest uploaded surveillance footage has irrefutably confirmed that Lord Liu Bai was with them.

"So that means they're with Teacher Liu?"

Even a connoisseur like Shibao could deduce such an obvious conclusion.

"But wait, how come Mei is in here? It's Raiden Mei, right?"

"Yeah, yeah! How come Mei is with Rita and the others? Uncle Gray Serpent must be seeing things double, right?"

"..." The Gray Serpent twitched the corner of its mouth.

The "ghosting" excuse is really something... This is surveillance footage! Surveillance footage!

"... I think the difference between Dr. Mei and that Raiden Mei is quite obvious."

The implication is that you should stop fooling yourself.

"At first, it seemed that Miss Mei wanted to infiltrate the hotel where the Unfading Blade was staying—please forgive me, out of respect for Lord Liu Bai, the hotel's surveillance cameras have been removed, so I don't know what happened inside. However, it seems that Miss Mei and Lord Liu Bai have known each other for a long time."

"..."

Kiana fell into a brief silence, then turned to look at Shibao.

"Class monitor."

"What's wrong?"

Can I take the day off today?

"It's approved. I happen to have something to do today anyway."

Shibao nodded with a smile, then patted Gray Serpent on the shoulder affectionately.

"I'm sure you know where they are right now Gray Serpent, right?"

"... After getting into Raven's vehicle, I'd venture to guess that we're heading to Raven's newly built 'nest' these past two days."

As for the Raven... there's really nothing to say about the Gray Serpent.

To manage to slack off and end up hanging out with Liu Bai... that deserves praise.

That's right. Although things are in a mess right now, Gray Serpent thinks Raven is still very commendable.

After all, Gray Serpent had already sold Raven to Liu Bai as a maid—which is why Raven has been so free these past few days.

It's not that Gray Serpent voluntarily gave Raven a paid leave; it's just that Raven is no longer under his jurisdiction... Instead of coming to Shencheng Pharmaceuticals to "check in," he might as well go check in with Liu Bai...

However, neither Liu Bai nor Rita really took Raven's matter to heart, which led to Raven now being in a state of being largely ignored.

That's why Gray Serpent now thinks Raven deserves praise when he sees Raven involved in this kind of thing.

... I just wasn't very lucky.

But don't worry, World Serpent will cover medical expenses, and if all else fails, there will be compensation.

What was that saying again?

A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl...

Well, although the meanings are slightly different, just understand the gist.
