Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu
Chapter 268: The scheming foreign horse; the mysterious letter that concerns everyone
Hear the words.
Catherine thought about the recent situation in the academy and the situation her grandfather was facing, and her expression fell into depression.
When the old Taoist priest saw this, he wanted to comfort her and said, "The little girl's name is Kai."
"Master, call her Catherine!" Du Heng whispered in his ear.
"Yes, her name is Catherine. Haha, I'm old now, and your foreign names are long and difficult to pronounce, so I can only remember a few of them."
The old Taoist priest laughed and continued, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't mind it."
When Catherine heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her blue eyes. She thought the old Taoist priest would say something to help her when she saw how embarrassed she was, but he refused to say anything.
But when I thought about the person standing in front of me, who was at the top of the alien world and had seen all kinds of storms, it would be ridiculous to show off my skills in front of this old man.
"It's like this. Due to the deaths of Dean Isaac Taber and Teacher Victor, the college has inevitably fallen into turmoil. Grandpa, as the dean's student and Teacher Victor's junior, is the best candidate for the next dean and has the support of many people, but there are still several competitors.
Grandfather wanted to come visit you in person, but he had to deal with his competitors on the one hand, and stabilize the overall situation of the academy on the other hand to avoid the academy falling into further civil strife due to the election of the dean, so he sent me to visit you. "
"Alas, old friends are fading away like leaves in the wind. I saw these two old friends of mine at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, and it has only been a short time. They are already separated by the Yin and Yang." The old Taoist sighed.
I received the news of their deaths some time ago and was deeply touched. At his age, one less person of his generation dies.
Then he asked, "You came all the way to visit me, an old man, so why did you come with Xiao Heng? It seems that you have a good relationship. I don't remember Xiao Heng going to Flamel College."
"Well..." Catherine felt embarrassed for a moment and it was difficult to speak.
Du Heng had no such concerns and said bluntly, "A few days ago, several foreign organizations of aliens joined forces to sneak in. She was one of them. The company asked me to handle this matter. During this period, we got to know each other. She and this group of people solved the problems of the list and the ant nest together. After a few visits, we became familiar with each other. She happened to know the relationship between me and the Tianshi Mansion, so she followed me."
At this time, Zhang Chulan interrupted, "What are the lists and ant nests?"
Speak out.
Everyone looked over there, which made Zhang Chulan feel frightened.
"what happened?"
Du Heng said with a joking smile, "Tsk tsk, you have been in the alien world for a while, why are you still acting like a greenhorn? What have Xu San and Xu Si been teaching you all day?"
"Damn, you knew that I recently stepped into the alien circle! I don't even understand my own circle, how can I know about the international circle? And don't you think about what I experienced after entering the alien world? I wasn't even allowed to breathe." Zhang Chulan rolled his eyes.
"Is it my fault?" Du Heng spread his hands.
"Get out of here and get back to the point." Zhang Chulan groaned.
"Okay, you're awesome, Bilian. Isn't that enough? This Directory and the Ant Nest are notorious organizations in the international Inhuman circle. The former advocates evil and converts to evil, while the latter focuses more on human experiments to develop various strengthening drugs. The nature of the two is similar to our Quanxing."
"Oh my god, is he so perverted?" Zhang Chulan sucked his fingers in shock.
Although he had never seen it, Quan Xing understood it. They were a group of people who dug up his grandfather's grave. One can imagine how many crazy people there were who were similar to Quan Xing.
"If you really want to know more about these international superhuman organizations, just go back to the company and ask Xu San and Xu Si for information." Then Du Heng stretched out his hand to Catherine, motioning her to continue.
The latter did not hesitate and told the old Taoist priest the business, "Grandpa originally wanted to ask you for help, but when I thought about this being an internal matter of Flamel College, it was not appropriate to involve you in any way."
Hear the words.
Du Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at her in astonishment, wondering if she had been possessed by another spirit.
I remember that she didn't say this before. She always wanted to gain the support of her master so as to help her grandfather succeed to the position of dean.
Now that you look back, you have changed your words?
I couldn't help but secretly smack my lips and said, "The foreign horse is really smart. He pretended to be depressed at first to gain sympathy, and then retreated to gain favor. Tsk tsk. It was not in vain to watch the TV series. I learned the essence." Catherine paused and continued, "Grandpa also said that no matter what happens to Flamel College and who succeeds the position of dean, he does not want the friendship with Tianshi Mansion to disappear. Old Tianshi, you and Tianshi Mansion will always be the most precious and deepest friends of the college."
The words fell.
The old Taoist priest remained silent for a long time and the atmosphere became tense. Mr. Tian also felt that the matter was serious and that no rash judgment could be made, so he signaled to Du Heng with his eyes.
The latter understood what he meant, and immediately gave a thumbs up with a smile, saying, "Master, you are really tall and strong, and you have a lot of face. The Tianshi Mansion is just empty talk. Flamel Academy came here just for you."
The old Taoist priest glanced at Du Heng, then at Catherine, and immediately understood something. He thought to himself that his disciple was looking for trouble.
He flicked his long beard and said, "Girl, take out the things!"
"Oh, you know that?" Catherine was surprised. She had never revealed this secret before. Could it be possible that...
Soon, her guess was confirmed.
The old Taoist priest slowly explained, "This kind of thing is indeed a little too light for a girl like you. Your grandfather called me long before this, but he didn't tell me your identity. Once I knew your origins, I would know it naturally."
"So that's it!" Catherine suddenly understood, and immediately took out a letter from her pocket and handed it over.
At this moment, she finally realized that maintaining the friendship between the two sides and gaining the support of the old Taoist priest were all pretenses. The most important thing for her on this trip was to be a good messenger. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
It wasn't just her who saw through this, Du Heng also did. The latter laughed secretly and said, "This foreign horse has been a Mongolian from the beginning. The successor dean has a competitor. It's likely that he is not taken seriously by her grandfather. The next dean will definitely be him. Now that the foreign horse is sent here, it's naturally to say hello in advance."
However, he couldn't help but feel curious about the origin and content of the letter?
Think about it for a moment. If the letter was written by Catherine's grandfather, he could have just said it on the phone. Why would he have gone through the trouble of letting Catherine make a trip in person and increase the risk of leakage or loss? In this case, the letter might not have been written by Zeta, but a secret letter left by Isaac Taber and Victor.
So, what does this letter contain?
Curiosity drove him to start looking without making any noise, but then he couldn't help himself and stretched his neck to look towards the camp.
With him taking the lead, Zhang Chulan followed suit, and even Catherine, who didn't know the content of the letter, followed suit.
The old Taoist priest who was checking the contents of the letter suddenly looked up at several people, and finally stopped at Du Heng, the "outsider".
"How about you come?" The old Taoist handed over the letter.
Seeing this, Du Heng retracted his head. How does the saying go? A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to have one.
It wasn't that he really wanted to know the contents of the letter, but given the situation and the atmosphere, he had to do something to fit the occasion.
Zhang Chulan and Catherine also immediately retracted their "necks" and dared not show their heads again.
However, Du Heng rolled his eyes and pretended to be unhappy, but in fact he tried to test him: "Hey, Master, this is a letter from two seniors, Dean Isaac Taber and Mentor Victor, to you. How dare I take a peek."
"Oh, boy, you are quite cunning." The old Taoist scolded with a smile, but he did not hide the surprise in his eyes.
What he said was tantamount to implicitly admitting that the letter came from Isaac Taber and Victor, which made everyone more curious about the content of the letter. After all, this was a secret conversation between top figures in the alien circle.
The old Taoist priest ignored the "seeking knowledge" looks of the few people and said, "Don't be curious, you kids. The content of this letter contains the day you met."
It would have been better if these mysterious words had not been said, especially the second half of the sentence "There will be a day when you meet each other", which confused the young people and made them feel itchy.
Du Heng quickly calmed down and began to think: "From the tone of Master, it seems that he is certain that the contents of the letter will happen. If this is true, then the only thing that will happen next is...!"
Before he could think about it, the old Taoist priest's voice rang out again, "Girl, come with me."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he looked at Du Heng and Zhang Chulan and ordered, "Accompany your Jinzhong Master well."
"Uh-huh!"
