Yunhua nodded, agreeing with Xu Zhaoting's statement, "There's no way around it. Without refining powerful toxins, poison-type isn't much stronger than light-type or water-type. But buying toxins requires a lot of money, which my family can hardly afford. Plus, the environment was very comfortable at the time, and I didn't have much ambition. I was the kind of person who just drifted along, so my performance was always very ordinary."
"But you're different now," Xu Zhaoting said. "You became a mid-level mage a long time ago, and your combat power is quite strong, while I've become just an ordinary person. So when you invited me today, I refused, and because of this so-called face, I almost got Lulu and me into trouble! Isn't that ridiculous?"
Yunhua nodded: "It is ridiculous. So you need to get rid of this habit in the future. There are many things that one person cannot do alone. If you need anything, come to me."
Xu Zhaoting: "Thank you."
Yunhua: "I've already told you not to let me hear 'thank you' again! We're friends, aren't we?"
Yunhua left the ward and told Xu Zhaoting to rest well. Then she dialed Mo Fan's number. That guy left pretty quickly; he was already out of the hospital.
"What's wrong?" Mo Fan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Do you know???"
Mo Fan thought for a moment, then said, "Never heard of this person. Who is it?"
Yunhua: "I don't know either. I just heard the name from those Black Vatican people when I was fighting them, and I thought you knew it."
Mo Fan: "I'll go ask around, and I'll let you know if there's any news."
Yunhua breathed a sigh of relief. What she had just told Mofan was the name of a blue-robed deacon she had seen in the Black Beast Demon's memories.
The name was originally told to Mo Fan by Xu Zhaoting, who had been transformed into a cursed beast, but Xu Zhaoting was saved by Yun Hua, so he could not obtain it.
Fortunately, Yunhua also had the Feather of Crossing Dust and obtained the name; otherwise, it would have been a great pity to let the blue-robed steward escape like this.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan dialed Tang Yue's phone and told her about the matter, as well as the name Yun Hua had mentioned.
"It's the name of the blue-robed butler! He heard the name of that blue-robed butler," Tang Yue said excitedly into the phone.
"What's the use of a name?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.
"Most members of the Black Vatican have a legitimate identity in society, and this name is the one the blue-robed deacon uses to cover his tracks. In fact, we suspect that the real mastermind behind your attack is likely a student from Pearl Academy, but we don't know his name. Our target this time is this blue-robed deacon; his name is a crucial clue. The blue-robed deacon is someone who has direct contact with Cardinal Salon, and we hope to find Salon through him!" Tang Yue said.
"I need to report immediately."
"Wait a minute," Mo Fan asked, "Teacher Tang Yue, you said that the commander of this operation might very well be hiding within Pearl Academy?"
"Well, it's a pity we don't know his name. All we can do now is wait for him to reveal himself."
"What if I give them the opportunity to attack me?" Mo Fan asked seriously.
"If the Earthly Holy Spring is truly in your hands, they will make a move, and so will the adventurer," Tang Yue said.
"Alright, I'll give them a chance to make their move."
"What are you going to do?"
"Lead the snake out of its hole!"
"No! It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
"This time, I might not be alone."
The night after Xu Zhaoting's incident, students participating in the Mingzhu Academy main campus assessment suddenly found a selfie on their WeChat Moments. The person in the photo was none other than Mo Fan, and next to him was a Shadow Beast controlled by a Ghost Wolf.
Furthermore, they received word that in half an hour, a guy named Mo Fan would appear at the beast-taming cage dragging a shadow beast.
The beast-taming cages at Mingzhu Academy are for use by students majoring in summoning to prevent some summoned beasts from exhibiting abnormal behavior.
The animal taming cage is located at the very edge of the entire Mingzhu Academy's Qing Campus, which is practically near an old mountain, and is rarely frequented by people.
However, as soon as this news was released, almost all the students who were still clueless suddenly lit up and all of them lay in ambush there.
The funny thing is, there are so many people with this idea that there are probably only a few places to hide. So it feels like several burly men having affairs are crowding into a closet, and some of them who are already acquainted have to awkwardly greet each other.
"Sister Mu, there are so many people down here!" Ai Tutu asked in a low voice from the rooftop.
"Yes, be careful not to get discovered!" Mu Nujiao said.
"Pfft!" Ai Tutu suddenly chuckled, then said to Mu Nujiao, "Sister Mu, what kind of expression do you think these people will have when they find out we've tricked them? It's really something to look forward to!"
"Shh!" Mu Nujiao quickly stopped Ai Tutu, "Keep your voice down, what if we get caught? Anyway, let's proceed according to plan and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Don't worry, Sister Mu, everyone's attention is on the Demon King right now, they won't notice us at all. Besides, you and Xiaoti are here, even if they come, they won't be a match for our beautiful girl group," Ai Tutu said, looking at a small white kitten beside her.
"We still need to be careful. Although the pressure will mainly be on them in a little while, our task is the most crucial part of the plan."
Behind them was a huge black cloth covering the ground, with the center of the cloth sinking and rising, as if there were some living thing there.
After waiting for a while, Mo Fan arrived as scheduled. He walked straight ahead along the asphalt path lined with maple trees.
Along the maple trees, students could be seen everywhere using rudimentary methods to conceal themselves. They all looked dazed, unable to believe that this great demon had really arrived with the Shadow Beast.
At the end of the road is a square with a fountain. Several statues of summoned beasts stand in the fountain, submerged in water and covered with moss, looking quite old.
Behind the statue, Mo Fan's acquaintances, such as Luo Song and Bai Zangfeng, were waiting there, as were the Black Vatican's spies planted in Mingzhu Academy, who were also eager to make their move.
Mo Fan continued walking forward, and by this time some people couldn't wait any longer and gathered around him.
However, no one dared to make the first move, because everyone knew that the great demon was extremely powerful, and with so many people present, whoever made the first move would suffer the consequences!
They could only watch as Mo Fan walked to the center of the pool in the plaza, then pointed at the Shadow Beast and demanded, "Who wants it?"
