Chapter 343 A "Big Gift" Delivered to Our Doorstep
"Alright, stop glaring at me with those beautiful contact lenses. I'm busy these days!" Ye Nanxiao pulled out an astronaut helmet from behind his back and put it on Ji Juechen's head, blocking Ji Juechen's resentful gaze.
Is this person's brain just made of muscles?
"No way, I'm going to stay here until you have time!" Ji Juechen said firmly.
"Anyway with her! Instead of going shopping and building relationships, she's here hindering my experiments!" Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Jing Ziyan, who was still smiling.
"Ah Chen's opinion is very important to me!" Jing Ziyan covered her mouth and laughed.
Ji Juechen removed his helmet, tossed his long hair, and said, "Our relationship is good enough; there's no need to deliberately try to improve it!"
Jing Ziyan was overjoyed, and it seemed as if hearts were floating out from above her head.
Sometimes, when someone who's clueless about love speaks sweet nothings with a straight face, the damage they inflict can be truly devastating.
Ye Nanxiao silently lay on the soul guidance experiment table, wrapped his arms around his head, and buryed the draft paper in his hands, pretending to be an ostrich.
Jing Ziyan brushed a strand of hair behind her ear to cover her already reddened ears, and looked at Ji Juechen with affection.
"Alright! Let's head back now. There will be plenty of opportunities to spar later!"
Huo Yuhao, who was holding a handful of melon seeds, suddenly received a message from Ye Nanxiao.
"Help!"
Two words appeared on the soul-guided communicator.
Huo Yuhao silently tossed the soul-guided communicator into the pile of draft papers, pretending not to see it.
He knew all too well how difficult Ji Juechen was to deal with, but all he had besides his soul tool was his frost ability and mental power. At most, he had created a set of fist techniques. In Ji Juechen's eyes, he was not as good as Ye Nanxiao, who knew how to use swords.
There's no way to save this, I'll just have to watch the show from the sidelines!
Huo Yuhao smiled rather unkindly.
Helpless, Ji Juechen put the iron sword back on his back and was dragged away by Jing Ziyan.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Ye Nanxiao, "What time! What place!"
"Nijiang, are you still alive?" Huo Yuhao walked to Ye Nanxiao's table and reached out to pluck the single ahoge (cowlick) on Ye Nanxiao's head.
"Finally gone!" Ye Nanxiao peeked out from the pile of papers.
"Muddy, you're not very good. You've only fought Ji Juechen a few times, and you've already lost your fighting spirit. If you were in the Tang Sect, wouldn't they be dragging you to the training ground for sparring every day?" Huo Yuhao said.
Ye Nanxiao removed the shredded paper from his head and said confidently, "It's alright. If we were really in the Tang Sect, Ji Juechen wouldn't have time to bother me!"
Then it will be time for Jing Ziyan to accept her wife's dating secrets and start pestering Ji Juechen!
The laboratory doors opened again.
Ye Nanxiao and Huo Yuhao had the same thought at the same time: Could it be that Ji Juechen has returned?
Six middle-aged men in armor stood at the entrance.
The leader, a middle-aged man with a mustache, held a token in his hand and waved it with a smile. "Hello, Royal Inspectorate. Routine inspection. Please cooperate."
Huo Yuhao looked at the cold-faced group and the faint soul power fluctuations emanating from the middle-aged man with the mustache at the head of the group, and knew that he and his companion were probably in trouble.
It seems that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy is not going to let them off the hook.
Ye Nanxiao stood up and said, "Royal Inspectorate, how can we assist your investigation?"
A middle-aged man with a mustache walked into the laboratory, while the others behind him remained where they were.
This is Xuan Ziwen's laboratory. Without a clear order or arrest warrant, only captains among them are allowed to enter and exit the laboratory alone.
The middle-aged man with a mustache walked up to Ye Nanxiao, took out a control order, and said, "Both of you, please tell me where you were two days ago, what you were doing, and whether you had anyone with you who can provide proof?"
Two days ago? Exactly the day the Sun and Moon Emperor passed away!
"It seems something has happened in the palace!" Huo Yuhao thought to himself. No wonder Teacher Fanyu has been telling us to stick together as a team these past few days, stop researching activities and missions, and not go anywhere.
"Two days ago, I was at the food street in Mingdu. All the vendors on the street can vouch for me. The person I was with was my classmate."
Ye Nanxiao said.
The middle-aged man with a mustache nodded and turned to look at Huo Yuhao.
"When I'm in the lab, I just grab a couple of pancakes to eat," Huo Yuhao said.
"We have recorded your actions. You two need to send one of you to accompany us to submit proof and confirm that our law enforcement records are accurate," the middle-aged man with a mustache said to Ye Nanxiao.
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted slightly. After the two of them were separated, he had no way of knowing Ye Nanxiao's situation.
"Please, Ye!" said the middle-aged man with a mustache, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
These are special times. The palace was attacked earlier. If Ye Nanxiao doesn't cooperate with them, they can accuse him of being an accomplice in the palace attack.
"Does my advisor know about this?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man with a mustache said proudly, "The Royal Inspectors are authorized by the Emperor and have the right to act first and report later when necessary!"
The implication is that they are not cooperating, which gives them the right to use their privileges!
"Then let's go." Ye Nanxiao's smile grew even brighter.
As Ye Nanxiao walked out of the laboratory, the five people waiting outside immediately stepped forward and surrounded him.
The middle-aged man with the mustache reached out and touched his own mustache. Ye Nanxiao did not resist, which really surprised him, but it also saved him a lot of effort.
The middle-aged man with a mustache led Ye Nanxiao around and around, out of the laboratory area and out of the teaching area, to an unnamed lakeside, where there was a wooden house.
"Then please come in, there are already people waiting inside." The middle-aged man with a mustache gestured "please".
Ye Nanxiao glanced around and asked, "Where have you taken me?"
"That's not something you can know. Hurry up and go inside," the middle-aged man with a mustache urged.
A member of the team, dressed in armor, stepped forward and reached out to push Ye Nanxiao.
As the hand was stretched out into the air, a chilling coldness seeped into the player's palm, and frost instantly covered it.
"Leaving is no problem, but if there are research activities or other important matters in the laboratory and I can't be found, you will be responsible for the consequences." Ye Nanxiao held up a small soul tool, on which was projected the appearance of a middle-aged man with a mustache.
"You!" The middle-aged man with a mustache coldly watched as his subordinate's hands froze, and he knelt on the ground wailing.
"Do you know how serious the consequences of attacking the Royal Guard are!" The middle-aged man with the mustache waved his hand, and the four members behind him immediately armed themselves.
"Enough!" A delicate shout rang out, and a maid dressed in a long court dress stepped forward.
"You may all leave," the maid said coldly to the middle-aged man with the mustache.
"Yes!" The middle-aged man with a mustache gave his four subordinates a wink, and the four immediately dragged away their groaning companion who was kneeling on the ground.
Ye Nanxiao stood quietly to the side, his gaze fixed on the wooden house.
His intuition told him not to use his mental powers to investigate the situation inside the house.
"Ye Nanxiao, please come with me," the maid said, bowing to Ye Nanxiao.
Pushing open the door, Ye Nanxiao sat in the hall of the wooden house, led by a maid.
Light footsteps sounded, and Ye Nanxiao leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
A beautiful figure passed by Ye Nanxiao and sat down in the seat opposite him.
"What would you like to drink? Tea or wine?" Orange asked, holding a teapot and a wine pot in her hands.
"It's tea time, let's not drink alcohol in broad daylight." Ye Nanxiao came back to his senses and looked at Ju Zi.
Ju Zi's eyes flickered slightly. She placed her jade-like hand on the teapot, and her fingertips gently traced a subtle code across it.
Ye Nanxiao seemed to be lost in thought, and didn't look at the oranges.
A cup of hot tea was brewed and pushed in front of Ye Nanxiao.
"Can we sign the quote certificate now? Everyone's in a rush." Ye Nanxiao glanced at the teacup.
"Ye Nanxiao, don't you want to spend a little more time with me?" Ju Zi said softly, her tone carrying a gentleness she had never shown to Ye Nanxiao before.
"The group of people earlier were talking about imperial privilege, but now with Ju Zi's unusual behavior, it seems there's more than just Ju Zi in this wooden house," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself, while his expression remained calm as he smiled and said, "Perhaps growing up in the countryside and being used to the wild, sitting with you officials makes me feel uncomfortable. Humans are creatures who seek comfort, so let's keep things official and resolve this matter quickly, Your Highness."
Ju Zi smiled calmly, holding the proof of Ye Nanxiao and Huo Yuhao's quotes that the middle-aged man with the mustache had recorded earlier. She handed it to Ye Nanxiao and said, "Take a look at the proof and see if there are any problems. If you were careless and missed something or misread it, don't blame me for handling things officially."
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the certificate; the text recorded on it was all his own oral account at the time.
"So, there are no mistakes?" Orange asked.
Ye Nanxiao nodded.
Ju Zi put away the verbal testimony, her smile vanishing, and said seriously, "Ye Nanxiao, do you know the consequences of attacking the Royal Guard?"
"I don't know."
"Hmph, attacking the Royal Guard is tantamount to resisting arrest." Orange said, when suddenly a voice transmission came through her ear. She immediately changed her words, saying, "Considering the Guard's terrible attitude and the fact that you acted in self-defense, before the oral testimonies of everyone at Shrek Academy can corroborate your statement, I request that you go to the dungeon to calmly reflect on your actions. Do you have any objections?"
As she finished speaking, Orange's expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Sure, we've been in Mingdu for so long, we've been to the palace, but we haven't been to the dungeon yet. Let's just treat this as a sightseeing trip." Ye Nanxiao said nonchalantly, but the shrewdness in his eyes was undeniable.
What kind of punishment is this?! It's exactly what I wanted!
Come on over, why bring a gift!
Ye Nanxiao, who was just thinking about how to sneak into the palace dungeon, couldn't wait to push Ju Zi and get to the dungeon as soon as possible.
As for the dungeon environment and his own situation, Ye had not committed any crime, so there was no need for him to sit in a death row or a high-security prison to calm down. In addition, he was still an exchange student, so at most he would only be locked up for a few days.
Orange waved her hand, and the maid from before reappeared.
"Just go with me, it'll only give you about half a day to calm down," Orange said coldly.
Ye Nanxiao rose lazily and followed behind the maid, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the interior of the wooden house, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Still unwilling to give up?
After the two left, a while later, Xu Tianran was pushed out of the wooden house by his personal maid.
"I am incompetent! I failed to make the recruitment proposal as planned," Orange said, kneeling on one knee.
"It's alright. After all, what Ye Nanxiao said from the beginning was not what you expected," Xu Tianran said, waving his hand.
"Elder Xue, I'll trouble you to come along," Xu Tianran said calmly.
A dark shadow emerged from Xu Tianran's shadow and headed straight for the direction Ye Nanxiao had left.
"Since Ye Nanxiao has shown you no courtesy whatsoever, then I will speak with him personally!"
