Lion Light

Until noon, Yu Xian kept observing Yu Wei.

However, Yu Wei did not reveal a single flaw. His scent was that of a normal man, there were no tentacles writhing beneath his skin, and his heartbeat was perfectly normal, indicating there was no foreign object in his heart.

Moreover, after observing him for a long time, Yu Xian discovered that Yu Wei suffered from kidney stones, lumbar muscle strain, rhinitis, and other ailments.

In summary, he was a middle-aged man. Though there were signs that he exercised, it was not much.

That fit the profile of a ninth-grade PE teacher perfectly.

"Strange..."

Yu Xian could not make sense of it. If Yu Wei really had something wrong with him, what exactly was wrong?

Zhang Shou could not help saying, "Salted Fish, if you really think Teacher Yu has a problem, why not report him directly to the soldiers? Once they arrest him and examine him carefully, won't we know?"

"They'll believe me just because I report him? What if they don't find anything? By the way, where's Nora?" Yu Xian looked at Zhang Wei and fired off three questions in a row.

Zhang Shou opened his mouth, only to realize he could answer only the last question. So he told Yu Xian that Nora's identity was rather special. Her father was the Blood Clan's diplomatic envoy, so her bodyguards had picked her up last night.

"All right."

Yu Xian was helpless. He had originally wanted to ask Nora what she thought.

Although Nora could sometimes seem dazed, like a beautiful silly goose, she actually had plenty of ideas. Or rather, perhaps because she was too clever and had too many ideas, she seemed especially dazed at critical moments.

Afternoon.

All the students were invited into separate tents for investigation and questioning.

Yu Xian entered one of the tents. The staff consisted of a man and a woman. They first told Yu Xian not to be nervous, then began the routine questioning.

"Name?"

"Yu Xian. Yu as in surplus, Xian as in sage."

"Gender?"

"Male."

"Age?"

"Seventeen."

"Race?"

"Human? Vampire?"

Yu Xian suddenly answered uncertainly.

"Then human it is. Anyway, I'll never drink blood again for the rest of my life," Yu Xian said firmly after thinking it over.

After filling out his basic information, the two asked Yu Xian to carefully recall what had happened yesterday and recount it in detail. At first, the two staff members were fairly relaxed, listening and writing at the same time. But as they listened, their expressions changed.

What?

This kid was the first person to discover the Aberrant Insects?

What?

The Public Security Bureau had been infiltrated?

What?

He had even encountered the suspected leader of the Aberrant Insects?

After they finished writing, the two could not help exchanging glances. Then they asked Yu Xian to wait here while they hurriedly left with the report.

After about an hour of anxious waiting, the tent opened again.

A middle-aged man with a square face entered alongside a young man with an exceptionally imposing presence. The two sat down in front of Yu Xian.

The young man said, "I'm Jin Sheng, and this is Jin Dajun. We're here mainly to verify a few matters with you."

The moment the young man entered, Yu Xian had the illusion of facing the sun. Moreover, the other's heartbeat sounded like a roaring lion. He was clearly no ordinary person.

"All right. I'll tell you everything honestly," Yu Xian said nervously after taking a deep breath.

Jin Dajun could not help laughing. "Don't be nervous. We already understand most of the situation. Not only did you expose the Aberrant Insects' scheme and force them to act ahead of schedule, you also saved so many classmates during the disaster. No one here would dare make things difficult for you."

"Student Yu Xian, listen to this recording. Is this Zhou Tai's voice?" Jin Sheng took out his phone and played an audio clip.

The audio was extremely noisy, with screams interrupting it from time to time. Yu Xian listened carefully. In the recording, an awkward male voice said faintly, "Dean, isn't this world wonderful..."

Chen Qingsong's wife had secretly installed surveillance equipment in his office. Her original intention was to find evidence of Chen Qingsong's affair so that she could claim more property in the divorce.

In the end, Chen Qingsong died, and so did his wife.

But the surveillance equipment had recorded an extremely crucial conversation, which eventually ended up in Jin Sheng's hands.

"The voice is about sixty percent similar, but the tone is almost identical. I can confirm that it's him!" Yu Xian said seriously after listening to the recording.

Both Jin Sheng and Jin Dajun looked grave. Zhou Tai had already been extremely dangerous when he was still an ordinary person. Now, those twisted personalities could not only control Aberrant Insects, but even parasitize a particular Aberrant Insect. The threat level had risen dramatically. If they did not resolve this quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"May I ask what the Aberrant Insects' original plan was?" Yu Xian could not help asking.

Jin Dajun nodded. "If you hadn't exposed the Aberrant Insects' infiltration, they would have gradually devoured all of Silver City. Every ordinary person would have become their food or host, until Silver City turned into the Aberrant Insects' nest. By then... I'm afraid we would no longer have any way to eliminate them completely."

"Student Yu Xian, is there anything else you'd like to ask?" Jin Sheng gave Yu Xian a meaningful look, as though hinting at something.

In fact, before arriving, the two had already learned everything about Yu Xian. A good kid suffering from ALS, forced to become a wild vampire through illegal means, yet still concerned with the greater good despite barely being able to save himself, and ultimately making the right choice.

Because of Yu Xian's choice, at least tens of millions of people in Silver City had survived. The merit was simply too great.

With that layer of protection around him, the state certainly would not leave him unattended. Forget the Blood Clan—no force would dare act recklessly.

"Um... I'd like to ask, do I have a chance to join the Qilin?" Yu Xian rubbed his hands together and asked with a yearning expression.

Jin Sheng was taken aback. Then he glanced at Jin Dajun, who quickly distanced himself from the matter. "Not me. I never said anything. Just like you, this is also my first time meeting Student Yu Xian."

"Student Yu Xian, who told you about the Qilin?" Jin Sheng asked.

Jin Dajun laughed. "No need to ask. If I'm not mistaken, it was Marcus's precious daughter, right?"

Then he could not help adding, "Student Yu Xian, you really asked the right person. This kid is a member of the Qilin, ranked eighty-ninth, codename Lion Light. And I... am his old man. Hahahahaha!"

"..."

Jin Sheng looked at Jin Dajun speechlessly.

The reason he had suspected Jin Dajun first was because Jin Dajun had boasted about all of his son's comrades. This guy told everyone he met that his son had joined the Qilin.

"Are you sure you want to join the Qilin?"

Jin Sheng sighed, then looked at Yu Xian and asked.

His original intention had been to let Yu Xian request official protection. The authorities only needed to notify the Blood Clan: This kid is under our protection. As long as he did not leave the country, the Blood Clan would not dare utter a word.

Although people had always exaggerated how powerful the Blood Clan was.

At the national level, however, the Blood Clan, which did not even possess a Dragon Level powerhouse, was merely a second-rate force.

Most wild vampires could be dealt with by the Blood Clan itself, mainly because those who became wild vampires were not good people to begin with. Some even attacked ordinary people for blood, so the state naturally turned a blind eye.

But someone like Yu Xian, with a clean background and the merit of saving tens of millions of lives in a city? The Blood Clan was nothing.
