Chapter 878 -36 Crisis_2

As soon as this news broke out, it completely stunned Dean Frist.

Jasmine stood there frozen in place, her arms opened, expecting to throw herself into Link’s embrace.

She had said everything was agreed upon, that she and Link would handle their own affairs to avoid his troubles affecting her.

How had it suddenly come to pass that Link, in a desperate hurry, had traveled nearly two months to reach the front lines of the war against the demon civilization?

Such a significant change had occurred.

Great Sage Mitchell, in his purge of Ravensmouth College, certainly would not spare the United Corps either.

What virtues or abilities did she, Jasmine Kidman, have to escape from the hands of Great Sage Mitchell who had by then become a Saint?

Thus, Link must have sensed the crisis she was about to face and had come specifically to save her.

At that moment, various thoughts churned through Jasmine’s mind.

But she suppressed all those thoughts within an extremely short time.

At this moment, Jasmine allowed only sweetness and happiness to reside in her heart.

Because Link truly cared about her very, very much.

Sage Serene watched as Jasmine, snapping back to reality like a swallow returning to the forest, flung herself into Link’s arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist like an octopus.

Sage Serene had enough confidence to suspect that if there had been no one else around, Jasmine would definitely have knocked Link to the ground and made the sky their blanket and the earth their bed, gallivanting with great abandon.

A short separation indeed yields affection as fresh as a new marriage.

But Jasmine was still rational, not indulging overly long.

After sufficiently demonstrating her longing and fondness for Link through actual actions, she unwrapped her arms and legs and eased off him, resuming the posture expected of a sage-level witch.

Calmly and as if nothing had happened, she waited to see what reaction Dean Frist would have to the news disclosed by Lotson.

Having attained the status of a Level Seven Great Sage, Dean Frist certainly had a robust temperament.

Concerned about the development and interests of Ravensmouth College, Dean Frist would be shocked by the news, but he wouldn’t remain shocked for long.

Everyone present knew that Dean Frist’s lack of response thus far was him pondering, not being stunned into inaction.

Lotson wanted exactly this effect, seeing Dean Frist troubled by the news he had shared.

This was somewhat of a little malicious pleasure.

A moment later, Dean Frist came out of his reverie, looked at Lotson, and asked seriously, “I am not questioning the authenticity of this news, but it is far too important, and I must make sure, is the source of this news reliable?”

Lotson shrugged his shoulders, showing no intention to answer.

Instead, he shot a look towards Link, signaling to Dean Frist.

Dean Frist caught on and immediately turned his gaze towards Link.

Before the Dean could ask, Link directly said, “Mr. Xu Jing also separately shared this news with me. From my personal perspective, this news cannot be fake. The only issue is why Mr. Xu Jing chose to share this news with me.”

“What do you think Mr. Xu Jing’s purpose might be?”

Dean Frist immediately followed up on Link’s remark, asking gravely.

Link slightly shook his head, “I am not certain.”

“Any guesses?”

Dean Frost’s eyes lit up, continuing to press for an answer.

Link contemplated briefly and replied honestly, “I do have a guess, but I really am not sure.”

“Just share your guess, it will serve as a reference; you won’t be blamed if it’s wrong.”

Dean Frist decisively made a disclaimer commitment.

What Link actually wanted was just this, no longer being affected, he opened up and said, “I believe there’s something fishy about this. Every power has its factions, and I acknowledge that the interests within the Heavenly Master’s Mansion do not entirely coincide with those of the Celestial Court. However, given the presence of an end-of-law crisis in the civilization of the gods, the overall interest of the Celestial Court, the total interest of the civilization of the gods, outweigh everything else. The Heavenly Master’s Mansion absolutely would not blatantly go against it. Mr. Xu Jing acting this way, the Heavenly Master’s Mansion acting this way, can only mean one situation.”

“What situation?”

Dean Frist, playing the straight man, promptly interjected.

With a slightly deeper voice, Link emphasized, “That is, Mr. Xu Jing is indeed doing this for the overall benefit of the Celestial Court, telling me this matter, wanting to pass the message to the Supreme Council through me. Or… ”

“Or what?”

Dean Frist, thoughtful, had already guessed what Link was about to say, but continued to press.

Link glanced at Lotson, who stood beside him, smiling silently, watching the “double act” dialogue between Link and Dean Frist, and smirked, “Or the Supreme Council could find out about this message through Lotson as well.”

Upon hearing Link’s words, Lotson reacted greatly.

He raised his hands high and suddenly stepped back, his face displaying a wronged expression as he cried out, “I have not tipped off the Supreme Council, don’t malign me, be careful, or I’ll sue you for defamation!”

Jasmine and Sage Serene were seeing this side of Lotson for the first time.

Previously, they had dealings with the reincarnations of Saints.

But at that time, Lotson was very serious, not exactly reticent but always busy, and his life was very fulfilling.

Suddenly seeing such a comical side of Lotson, they indeed found it hard to adapt.

However, having gone through the “Metamorphosis Period” themselves, Jasmine and Sage Serene quickly understood the reason for Lotson’s behavior.

Yet understanding this reason raised two doubts in their minds simultaneously.

Visit frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓ for the b𝘦st novel reading experience.

Does the reincarnation of a Saint also need to go through the “Metamorphosis Period”?

And, why does Lotson need to undergo the “Metamorphosis Period” in a parallel universe?

Jasmine and Sage Serene exchanged glances, seeing the same confusion in each other’s eyes.

After a brief reflection, they both simultaneously dismissed the idea of probing this curiosity further.

Some things, if one is meant to know, they will know; if not, asking is futile.

Dean Frist ignored Lotson’s antics and asked very seriously, “Does the Supreme Council truly not know of this news yet?”

Without hesitation, Lotson replied, “At least I haven’t told the Supreme Council. Whether they know or not, I don’t know.”

His tongue-twister answer made Dean Frist’s pondering even deeper.

It clarified his guess about the motives behind Mr. Xu Jing’s actions.

Link promptly fell silent.

Seeing Link’s attitude, Dean Frist did not insist further and said to himself, “So, the motive of Mr. Xu Jing, or even the Heavenly Master’s Mansion and the Celestial Court, is actually to curry favor and support Great Sage Mitchell by actively ‘snitching’ in a way that sends a signal to the Supreme Council. That is, the cooperation between the two sides is equal and mutual. The civilization of the gods is not without the ability and means to counter the civilization of witches. If the Supreme Council does not fully open the passage for the civilization of the gods into their universe, the civilization of the gods will take further measures.”

Pausing for a moment, Dean Frist paced a few steps and continued, “As for the manner and person to inform the Supreme Council, it must be more tactful, more indirect, and that can only be me.”

While speaking, Dean Frist looked toward Lotson, “Saint, although your interests are not completely tied with Ravensmouth College, a significant loss to Ravensmouth College would also impact you as you are now. Therefore, Saint, you didn’t take this news too seriously after finding out because you foresaw something, right?”

Lotson chuckled, not directly answering Dean Frist’s question.

He slowly said, “Prophecy, it’s quite fascinating. Some prophecies can be told, like the great upheaval that hasn’t occurred in thousands of years. Some prophecies must not be spoken; speaking them might make them ineffective, or even bring about more adverse effects.”

Dean Frist, having studied some materials about the Mysterious Wizard System, was not unfamiliar with Lotson’s statement and grasped the implication promptly.

Thus, the next issue was no longer guessing Mr. Xu Jing’s motives.

A so-called crisis involves both danger and opportunity.

Avoiding the danger and seizing the opportunity is the task at hand.
