Chapter 209: Explanation

Ye Xuan heard Lin Xu’s words and immediately said, “Dean, it’s me, Ye Xuan.”

Lin Xu was shocked on the other end, “Ye Xuan? You’re not dead? Wait, were you controlled by the Yin Emperor and turned into a zombie?”

Ye Xuan chuckled, “The Yin Emperor? Does he have that ability? After we eliminated the Golden Crow this time, we planned to take down the Yin Emperor as well to do something for China. So I faked my death once to ensure the Yin Emperor took the bait. We didn’t tell anyone about this, not even my parents. So I also deceived you in passing.”

Lin Xu was somewhat skeptical, “Really?”

Ye Xuan said directly, “Of course it’s true. The Yin Emperor was just burned to death by Mengli. This guy who plays with corpses has been completely taken care of.”

Lin Xu still had some doubts, “But how did Mengli manage to kill tens of thousands of mutated beasts with one blow and even evaporate part of the East Sea? Besides the Death Fruit, what else could achieve that?”

Ye Xuan smiled at this, “Dean Lin, have you forgotten about my trump card? When I wiped out the Nine Infants with the Nine Divine Forms back then, my abilities skyrocketed to one hundred percent in a short time. Did I die afterwards? No, not even a single hair fell off! This time, I just let Mengli experience the feeling of reaching the maximum class in advance. These are all my secrets, and I won’t explain the specifics to you.”

Lin Xu suddenly recalled how terrifying Ye Xuan’s power was when his abilities were less than ten percent.

If Ye Xuan could do it, then it seemed not impossible for Su Mengli to do it as well. No wonder!

Then, Lin Xu said, “Regardless, you should have informed me in advance. Do you know how much this incident has affected me?”

Ye Xuan sighed, “Dean Lin, I am truly sorry for this matter, but the Yin Emperor is indeed a tricky guy. The main issue is that he has his spies within the organization, so I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you might leak it out, and then the plan would fail.”

Lin Xu was surprised, “Spies? What do you mean by that?”

Ye Xuan explained slowly, “Dean Lin, do you remember when I mentioned the ruins before? Although the Yin Emperor has some means, how could he know the specific location without prior information and even control the nine Emperor Zombies? I knew back then that he had an insider at the top class, so I didn’t dare to tell you guys. Also, to eradicate the Yin Emperor, I didn’t even tell my parents. In fact, they were more heartbroken than you, but think about it, this guy the Yin Emperor has caused chaos in China, and his ability to control awakened corpses is blasphemous. His growth is too fast. He had no real combat power in the capital before. In the ruins, he controlled the nine Emperor Zombies, equivalent to having nine S-class abilities under him. If he succeeds in picking up corpses again next time, won’t it be even harder to deal with? To eliminate this great threat, I can only let you be heartbroken.”

Lin Xu immediately said, “Ye Xuan, you did well. I underestimated you as the dean. By the way, about that spy, do you have concrete information? It’s not that guy Chu Han with thick eyebrows and big eyes, right? Did that kid betray us?”

Ye Xuan smiled, “It’s not Chu Han. The spy is a guy named Qian Li!”

Lin Xu’s face changed, “Qian Li? The Vice President? This old man has no military achievements, just knows how to flatter, writes articles every day, and got promoted. I never liked this guy, didn’t expect him to be a spy? Are you sure?”

Ye Xuan said firmly, “I’m sure! The Yin Emperor revealed it before he died.”

Lin Xu angrily said, “Is that so? Do you have any concrete evidence? This guy is the Vice President. Without solid evidence, I can’t act against him.”

Ye Xuan looked at Su Mengli and said, “Mengli, do you have any evidence?”

Su Mengli replied, “At that time, my nanosuit armor recorded a video.”

The MK50 nanosuit armor has many functions, just recording a video is a piece of cake.

Ye Xuan said directly, “Dean, Mengli recorded a video. That conversation can prove the connection between Qian Li and the Heavenly Sacred Sect.”

Lin Xu immediately said, “Good, send me the video now. Chu Han and Wangdan are preparing to return to the capital. It’s a good opportunity for them to take action and deal with this trouble!”

Ye Xuan said, “Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. I have to go apologize to my parents. The shock they received is even greater than yours.”

Lin Xu said, “I understand. Go back and explain to your parents properly. They were indeed shocked!”

Ye Xuan hung up the phone and then said, “Mengli, let’s go home.”

Su Mengli replied, “Okay, let’s go.”

Ye Xuan directly transformed into the Kunpeng Divine Form and let Su Mengli come up.

Su Mengli saw this and said, “Change it, I want to ride the Phoenix!”

Ye Xuan indulged, “No problem, I’ll follow your lead.”

After this incident, the bond between Ye Xuan and Su Mengli had deepened further, reaching ninety-five points.

In terms of bond strength, it may seem too data-driven, so let’s talk about Su Mengli’s actions. When facing the Golden Crow, the two were in danger. Su Mengli didn’t even know she had the Dog Curse, granting her immortality, but she still consumed the Death Fruit to ensure Ye Xuan’s survival.

A woman willing to die for you, what kind of emotion is that? Ye Xuan’s feelings for Su Mengli also underwent a certain qualitative change.

Then, Ye Xuan transformed from Kunpeng into a Phoenix, allowing Su Mengli to ride on his back. The Phoenix wings flapped, carrying Su Mengli towards Jiangcheng.

Ye Xuan actually understood why Mengli wanted him to transform into a Phoenix. Because the Phoenix was much slower than the Kunpeng, Mengli would have enough time to prepare herself mentally.

For Su Mengli, the most challenging part of this whole event was not killing the Yin Emperor but explaining to Ye Xuan’s parents afterwards.

She was afraid that she might not be able to successfully shift the blame and end up being resented by her in-laws. In that case, life would be really difficult.
