Slipping Out of the Cicada's Shell

228

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Bincheng Ninth District, Blue Shore Manor Residential Community.

A detached villa next to Villa No. 666.

Shi Yuehan has already bought this place.

... at the Ruihang Center.

Lin Que is a confidential the Authorities location, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter.

They kept them outside the door.

Last time.

The two had a brief encounter at the Martial Artist Guild.

The match ended in a draw.

Of course, Shi Yuehan did not activate the Sequence and also kept some things in reserve.

Lin Que also did not use his trump card.

At this time.

Shi Yuehan sat in the study, looking at her phone.

His complexion, which was already like a palette of colors, now looked even more like he had eaten something toxic.

The matter on Moyuan Island had just ended.

The message was then relayed back.

The Boundary Beast are launching a massive attack on an unnamed island in the ocean!

There were even three Boundary Beasts!

Shi Yuehan was a teacher at Tianhuang Martial Arts University, so he naturally knew what Boundary Beast that was a thousand meters long meant.

Boundary Beast King!

The Three-Headed Boundary Beast King, along with more than twenty other Boundary Beasts, besieged an island.

This can only mean that there is something on that island that is of paramount importance to the Boundary Beast.

Thinking about what has happened recently...

That Blue-Ringed Octopus that suddenly appeared in the city center!

And Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear.

Especially that time, the two of them used the positioning of those eleven Heaven-Tier Upper Grade Weapons to play around with themselves at sea.

Shi Yuehan immediately understood what that thing was.

Spatial Mirror!

There must be a highly stable Spatial Mirror on that island!

Now, that small island has clearly become Xiao Jiu and Little Blondie's secret little garden!

The other end of the Spatial Mirror is very likely located at the Ruihang Center!

No wonder, the security system in Bincheng is connected to the Ruihang Center.

"This time, the two of them arrested people to help them guard the island..."

"And those two little ones, they were captured by the Bearded Pirates?!"

"You want me to use four Heaven-Tier Upper Grade Weapons to redeem them?!"

"I'll ransom your sister! They're Bearded Pirates themselves, you know?!"

Shi Yuehan almost couldn't resist and crushed his newly replaced phone.

"What's the point of having so many high-grade Heaven-Tier Upper Grade Weapons! Can they even use them all?!"

As for what those Transcendent Martial Artists saw...

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu, along with Four Beards Pirates...

The Eye of Fraud!

The Little Treasury was stolen by that Little Blondie!

The Sequence Item, Eye of Fraud, naturally fell into their hands as well!

Beside.

Shi Wu calmly watched Shi Yuehan, who was on the verge of a rampage.

"Dad, is it possible that they just want to drain you dry...?"

He was being supported by Ouyang Zheng, Xue Qianlan, and Lin Que.

Shi Yuehan handed over another trillion Academic Credits in one go.

The current Tianhuang Martial Arts University has truly been hollowed out.

... Even the Shi Family is facing some turmoil.

As for the fact that Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu are the Bearded Pirates...

He had guessed it when Shi Yuehan's Little Treasury was stolen.

Shi Jiu didn't intend to hide it from him, otherwise how could Shi Wu act as their inside man?

Shi Yuehan glared at Shi Wu, "Shut the hell up! If it weren't for you giving Xiao Jiu the location of my Little Treasury, how could my Little Treasury have been stolen?!"

Shi Wu pursed his lips. "Then what can we do? Can we refuse to give it to them?"

"Anyway, Old Old Geezer... oh no, I mean, Grandpa still has a lot of treasures."

"Plus, those old fogies in the school must have some treasures too. We can't let you, the Principal, be the only one paying for it; the school has to do it all on its own."

Shi Yuehan looked at Shi Wu with a chilling gaze.

Shi Wu's expression grew even calmer. "Besides, what happened back then was caused by those old fogies! If Maternal Grandfather and Maternal Grandmother were still alive, none of this would have happened."

Shi Yuehan sighed, "So you're blaming me for not going to save them too?"

Shi Wu nodded. "None of us brothers blame you."

"That means Xiao Jiu has never blamed you from beginning to end."

Shi Yuehan remained silent.

Shi Wu continued, "Because she never had any expectations of you."

"And you didn't let her down, but you never gave her any hope either."

Shi Yuehan's lips trembled slightly.

Shi Wu shrugged. "So, if you really want to win Xiao Jiu back and make her willingly call you 'Dad'... you should fully cooperate with her, even help her... help us get revenge!"

"Tianhuang Martial Arts University has never belonged to you, nor to the Shi Family."

"Back then, those old guys put you on the spot, forcing you to make difficult choices, to choose between two options..."

"You didn't let those old guys down. You chose the school, and you made what you believe to be the best decision."

"But they abandoned my mother, abandoned my newborn Xiao Jiu, and later, abandoned my Maternal Grandfather Maternal Grandmother."

"Now, Xiao Jiu will use the same method to make you redo the two-choice question."

"What, is it that you, the Principal of Tianhuang Martial Arts University, have no choice but to take this position, or will Tianhuang Martial Arts University be finished without you?"

Shi Wu's tone was calm.

But beneath that calm tone lay a strong element of aggression.

Hearing Shi Wu mention his wife.

Shi Yuehan's entire body began to tremble.

Everyone thinks you are a good person, and even more so, a good Principal.

"But to us, you are not a good father... not even a father!"

"I still don't understand how you had the courage to appear in front of Xiao Jiu."

"But during this time, you've let Xiao Jiu and Jiang Fu run wild... So, in your mind, are your left and right hemispheres starting to fight each other again?"

On one side is family ties.

On the other hand, there is reason.

Hearing Shi Wu's words, each one piercing to the heart.

Shi Yuehan slumped down completely.

He waved his hand slightly, signaling Shi Wu to leave.

Shi Wu shook his head and said quietly, "Now, your Eldest Brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother... are all watching you."

"This time, the eight of us brothers, along with Xiao Jiu, are also giving you a multiple-choice question."

"Do you want the school, or do you want us?"

"Also, don't try to control Xiao Jiu. She has her own choices and her own life."

"And I don't need your so-called protection."

After saying that, Shi Wu turned and left the study.

Shi Yuehan sat blankly in the chair.

Except for the time Shi Jiu went home a year ago.

He hadn't seen his other sons for many years.

"Was I really wrong?"

Shi Yuehan muttered to herself.

"Yes, the school isn't mine... Why should I be the only one making sacrifices time and time again?"

"Just because I'm the Principal...?"

Shi Yuehan's eyes gradually became confused.

Ruihang Center Building.

Lin Que's private office.

He stared blankly at the message coming from the sea. "Xiao Jiu and Xiao Fu defeated the Three-Headed Boundary Beast King?!"

"What's going on?! This is way too exaggerated!"

"... And also, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Fu have been captured by the Bearded Pirates!?"

"What is going on?"

"Aren't they just Redbeard and Yellowbeard themselves? Why are they arresting themselves?"

Just as Lin Que's left and right hemispheres began to fight each other.

The office door opened.

Shi Jiu's voice came in.

"Hey, Uncle Lin! We need to set off to deal with that Fifth-Tier Spirit Fruit Tree!"

I heard Shi Jiu's voice.

Lin Que's face instantly brightened. "Ah, you're back!"

He watched as someone walked in from outside the door.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu were both unharmed.

I felt completely relaxed.

Then.

Lin Que suddenly realized something, "You guys are... using a golden cicada to shed its shell?"

Jiang Fu nodded. "Some people clearly have ill intentions towards us, so they came up with this method."

You can Dodge a spear in the open, but it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

So I simply caught myself.

While tricking Old Geezer, he can also perfectly hide.

Lin Que breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Fu's words, "You did the right thing."

"Here is some information about Jiang Fu."

Jiang Fu was taken aback. "About me?"

Lin Que nodded, saying meaningfully, "After all, your uncle and aunt don't even have the qualifications to use Taboo Drugs that forcibly enhance Qi and Blood at the cost of destroying one's Origin."

"You are their experimental subject."

"Now that you've suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they'll be coming after you very soon."

Jiang Fu frowned. "Who are they?"

Lin Que tapped the file folder on the table. "Lingyue Pavilion."

Jiang Fu: "..."

... What a coincidence, I was also looking for them.
