Xue Linglong glanced at the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass bathed in heavenly tribulation and nodded gently.
She was not afraid of the Heaven Dou Empire's party. Just as Jiang Hai had thought, they could not win, but they could still escape. Yet the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was still undergoing its tribulation, so fleeing was impossible. If they fought, the Ice God Cave Heaven occupied by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was also one of Xue Linglong's trump cards. Starting a battle now would not be wise.
Vina glanced at Jiang Hai and asked, "First question: Miss Xue, what is your relationship with Mr. Jiang Hai?"
"Friends!" Xue Linglong hesitated before answering.
Friends!?
Vina's gaze flickered as she continued, "Then are you representing yourself, Miss Xue, or the Civilization Research Institute?"
"I am only myself!" Xue Linglong answered.
Vina breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "If we intend to detain Mr. Jiang Hai today, will you intervene, Miss Xue?"
Xue Linglong's eyes turned cold. "I will!"
Vina sighed inwardly and fixed her burning gaze on Xue Linglong. "One final question. I heard that your Civilization Academy and Civilization Research Institute intend to recruit students from across the world and teach them about Level 9 Soul Tools, soul tool techniques, Human Soul Tools, and the method of condensing a blood qi soul core. Is that true, or is it a plot by the Sun Moon Empire?"
At this, Xue Linglong instinctively glanced at Jiang Hai, then shook her head. "I don't know. But since you've already heard about it, it should be more or less true."
Vina still caught Xue Linglong's glance toward Jiang Hai. Her mind instinctively turned to the Star Luo Empire's pursuit of Jiang Hai five years ago. An Evil Soul Master with decent talent alone
