Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 68: Calm Xian Lin'er (Two in One)

"Dean, isn't this the way to Dean Yan's office?" Zheng Heng followed Xian Lin'er and felt something was wrong the further he walked. He couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Why should we go find Yan Shaozhe? Do I need to notify him to get my things back from the Soul Guidance Department?" Xian Lin'er sneered and said disdainfully.

"You mean, we should go directly to the Wuhun Department's warehouse to rob it?" Zheng Heng was shocked when he heard this. This was too exciting.

"What are you trying to grab? That originally belonged to our Soul Guidance Department." Xian Lin'er snorted coldly, and was very displeased with the word "grab" from Zheng Heng's mouth.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zheng Heng was a little excited. He snatched things from the Wuhun Department warehouse with his own hands. He felt a little excited for some reason. Is this what it feels like to have the boss's protection?

In the warehouse of the Wuhun Department, large amounts of cabinet-like soul guides are neatly placed together. These are soul guides, and their scientific name is refrigerated soul guides.

Because the things stored in the soul guide will be rotten and spoiled over time, the meat stored in it will gradually rot and spoil over time, so this kind of refrigerated soul guide was developed.

There is no strict classification of levels for refrigeration soul guides, but the higher the level of the refrigeration soul guide, the lower the ambient temperature it can maintain. However, if you just want to store some soul beast food that is a thousand years old or below, you obviously don't need a very high-level refrigeration soul guide.

Of course, the storage of soul beast food that is more than ten thousand years old cannot be so casual. Most of them have special storage environment requirements.

Inside the warehouse, a middle-aged woman was charging a refrigerated soul guide. This job seemed simple, but it was actually not difficult at all, except that it required a bit more soul power.

There are so many refrigerated soul guides, although most of them are only level two or three soul guides, but the amount of soul power required is still extremely huge. Without the level of Soul Master, this job cannot be done.

The middle-aged woman was so focused on charging that she didn't notice until Xian Lin'er and the other two walked up to her. When she turned around, she saw two figures, which really scared her.

"Dean Xian, what are you doing?" As the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, not all students in Shrek Academy may know Xian Lin'er, but the people related to the academy certainly know her.

"Teacher Li, I'm here to take back the resources that belong to my Soul Guidance Department. This matter has nothing to do with you." Xian Lin'er glanced at him and said lightly.

"This..." Teacher Li looked embarrassed. Of course, her job couldn't be just to charge the refrigerated soul guides. That would be too easy. Supervising the goods in the warehouse was also one of her jobs.

If Xian Lin'er just took the things away, she would have no way to explain herself. But the problem was that Xian Lin'er's position was too high, completely different from hers. She was afraid that if she stopped her, she would lose her job.

"Okay, this is none of your business. Or you can go find Yan Shaozhe directly and tell him that it was me, Xian Lin'er, who did it."

Xian Lin'er spoke calmly. She would not make things difficult for an irrelevant person. In other words, a warehouse manager was not qualified to be involved in the conflict between the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department.

"Thank you, Dean Xian." Teacher Li looked at Xian Lin'er with gratitude and immediately left the warehouse. She only earned a few dollars a month and there was no need for her to participate in the fights between bigwigs. An explanation was enough.

Dean Xian is a very nice person. With this thought in mind, Teacher Li even slowed down his pace on the way to the office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, thinking of giving Dean Xian more time to empty the warehouse.

"Dean, how much should we take away?" Zheng Heng's face flushed, and he looked eager to try. Robbing the Spirit Department's warehouse would surely make his good brothers envious!

"Take away all those older than a thousand years. Take away all the spiritual sea urchins. This, this, and... take away all of them."

"This, this is not good, right? Dean, we have taken too much."

Zheng Heng was very excited at first, thinking that he was going to make a big profit. However, as Xian Lin'er announced the names of the ingredients one by one, he felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him.

This isn't about making a big move, this is about catching them all in one fell swoop!

"What are you afraid of? I'm here to support you." Xian Lin'er glared at him, and Zheng Heng immediately started to grab the goods quickly. He said no, but his body was very honest.

"You will install this on the door of our warehouse later. The password is three reds and one yellow." The ring on Xian Lin'er's finger glowed faintly, a small metal lock.

The lock is a cool silver-gray color with a mirror-smooth surface. It is a rectangle with no metal extending along the edges, making it look no different from a square box.

But there is a disc-shaped protrusion on each of the four corners on its back. I don’t know what it is used for. The most eye-catching thing is its front, which is a light screen in the center. The three colors of red, green and yellow are evenly and neatly spread all over the light screen.

"A level six soul guide high-explosive combination lock! Dean, this is too dangerous! If it's accidentally triggered, especially in our soul guide department, there are so many things that can cause a chain reaction of explosions!"

Zheng Heng was a little confused at first, but when he took the metal lock and took a closer look, he was immediately shocked.

As the personal chef for several high-level soul guides and special disciples of the Soul Guidance Department, although his cultivation level is only Soul Emperor, he has come into contact with many more soul guide instruments than ordinary people.

The Soul Guide High-Explosive Password Lock is an independent soul guide device derived from the Soul Guide High-Explosive Password Box. Due to its complexity, it is rated as a sixth-level soul guide device.

Of course, this is not its only standard. The word "high explosive" is enough to explain its power.

It is relatively simple to use. The four disc-shaped protrusions on the back are actually four suction cups. It is suitable for double-door buildings. Don’t think that the protection effect is low because it does not have ordinary lock strips.

It is stuck on the gap between the doors on both sides. The adhesion of the four suction cups is so strong that even an ordinary Soul Sage cannot push them open. The suction cups can only be released by performing special tapping on the three colors.

If you try to destroy it by force, the self-destruct core magic circle inside will be activated, which will detonate the small bomb inside. The power is comparable to that of a fourth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell, and it will be no problem to destroy buildings within a radius of 50 meters.

To open the door, one must either enter the correct password or destroy the rest of the door. However, now the soul-guided metal door will sound an alarm as soon as it is damaged.

Putting this thing on the door of the warehouse is very dangerous even with a one in ten thousand chance of error. It's okay to put it in the martial soul system, but the soul guide system is full of flammable and explosive items.

"If you want to suppress my Soul Guidance Department, you'll have to pay the price!" Xian Lin'er's voice was cold, and then she changed the subject, "Have you finished packing the things?"

"It's all packed, it's all packed. There are so many high-quality ingredients, I've never seen them in the Soul Guidance Department!" Zheng Heng said excitedly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

A Soul Emperor could achieve a high status in any faction, even if they chose to join a random force. While they might only be considered upper-middle-level fighters in the capitals of the major empires, they were definitely rare in smaller cities. Zheng Heng's passion for cooking inspired him to become a chef at Shrek Academy. He found joy in preparing ingredients from high-level soul beasts, and cooking delicious food brought him immense satisfaction.

In his eyes, these ingredients were no different from soul bones to a soul master.

Martial Soul System.

Teacher Li stood outside the Dean's office, preparing himself mentally. The next second, he opened the door with a panicked look on his face and rushed in, shouting, "Dean Yan, this is bad! Dean Xian and his men have emptied our warehouse!"

"What did you say!" Seeing someone breaking into the office, Yan Shaozhe frowned secretly. Just as he was about to curse, he heard the news that Xian Lin'er had emptied the warehouse.

"Explain the situation clearly!" Yan Shaozhe shouted angrily. Teacher Li immediately put on a panicked expression. "I was charging the refrigerated soul guide at the time, and Dean Xian and his men forcibly took it away."

"You're so good, Xianlin'er." Yan Shaozhe's face was full of anger, and his figure disappeared in the office in a flash. He did not go to the warehouse of the Martial Soul Department. It was too late to go there now, so of course he went directly to the warehouse of the Soul Guidance Department.

Xian Lin'er could steal from the house, so why couldn't he? Yan Shaozhe was wondering as he was running fast. He had never seen Xian Lin'er do anything when pressing ingredients before, so why did she go crazy this time?

"Dean Yan, what's wrong?" The same words were used, but this time it was Zheng Heng who spoke from Teacher Li. He smiled and looked at Yan Shaozhe, whose expression was gloomy.

Yan Shaozhe ignored Zheng Heng and wanted to open the door of the warehouse directly. The moment he exerted force, the soul-guided high-explosive combination lock attached to the door began to emit a beeping alarm sound.

"What is this?" Yan Shaozhe turned to look at Zheng Heng and said with a grim expression. The dean of the Martial Soul Department, who has always resisted soul guides, certainly would not be familiar with various soul guides.

"You've asked the right person. This is Dean Xian's latest sixth-level soul-guided high-explosive combination lock, which contains a self-destruct device with the power of a fourth-level fixed-load soul-guided artillery shell.

Dean Xian said it can prevent thieves from stealing important items, and he's planning to roll it out in the Soul Guidance Department. "Zheng Heng explained to Yan Shaozhe with a smile on his face.

"You, open it." Yan Shaozhe looked at Zheng Heng and said in a deep voice.

"Dean Yan, I want to open it too, but Dean Xian didn't tell me the password. How about you try another method? Dean Xian specifically asked me to tell you."

Zheng Heng smiled on the surface, but he was still a little panicked inside. After all, his behavior was no different from teasing a dog.

"Speak." This word was almost squeezed out from between Yan Shaozhe's teeth, and the anger in his tone was almost tangible.

"She said you could melt the door with the fire of light."

"Very good!" After Zheng Heng finished speaking, Yan Shaozhe's face suddenly became darker than the bottom of a pot. He sneered, turned around and flew towards the direction of Sea God Island. He was worried that he had no reason to impeach the Soul Guidance Department, and now this opportunity came.

In the office of the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er stared at the metal round cake in her hand. After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a faint red light lit up on the surface.

Seeing this scene, Xian Lin'er smiled. Just as she thought, Yan Shaozhe would definitely take this opportunity to initiate a meeting at the Poseidon Pavilion.

That metal disc is a special kind of inductive soul guide. Every elder in the Sea God Pavilion has one. Each inductive device is both a sender and a receiver.

It will glow as long as soul power is injected into it, and other soul guides of the same frequency within its sensing range will also glow. It is an information device dedicated to the convening of Poseidon Pavilion meetings and is a very practical notification tool.

Her smile was bitter and a bit miserable. As a member of Shrek Academy, she couldn't understand why everyone was resisting soul guides.

Even though her teacher had clearly stated the importance of soul guides at the meeting, Elder Su still did not take it seriously. Even her biological mother was prejudiced against soul guides.

The huge Shrek Academy can withstand all the needs of the Martial Soul Department, but it does not have a place for the Soul Guidance Department.

(In the original novel, before Moon died, he asked Shrek Academy to vigorously develop soul guides, and later split the resources of the soul guide department and the martial soul department in half. Then Huo Yuhao went to be a Sun and Moon exchange student and delivered more than a thousand blueprints to Shrek.

Despite the obvious power of these soul guides, Xuan Zi, Cai Mei'er, and Yan Shaozhe still held back the soul guide department's resources. Xian Lin'er repeatedly suggested that Huo Yuhao help with soul guide research, but these suggestions were rejected by the elders of the martial soul department.
Poseidon Pavilion.

The elders sat at the conference table, their hearts filled with endless emotion. How many times had the Sea God Pavilion held a meeting this year? The fourth time. In just one year, before the annual meeting, they had held four times!
The number of additional Poseidon meetings in the past ten years combined is not as many as this year.

"Shaozhe, this is a meeting initiated by you, so you will be the one to preside over it." Xuanzi was still in the Xingluo Empire, and Moon usually did not take the initiative to speak, so this sentence was undoubtedly said by Lin Huiqun, who was in the second tier of seniority.

"Elders, the reason I called this Sea God Pavilion meeting is because the Soul Guidance Department is simply unreasonable! They actually broke into the Martial Soul Department's warehouse and stole the food!

Not a single part of soul beasts older than a thousand years was left, and even special ingredients like the Spiritual Rhythm Sea Urchin were taken away. If the Soul Guidance Department took all of this, how can we, the Martial Soul Department, train students?!"

Yan Shaozhe's tone was filled with grief and indignation. He looked at Xian Lin'er, but found that she had no expression on her face. She was just sitting with her eyes closed. This scene made Yan Shaozhe feel uneasy.

All the elders looked at Xian Lin'er. Although Yan Shaozhe did not mention any names, everyone knew that the dispute between the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department was probably caused by these two people.

"Lin'er, is this true?" Old Zhuang's voice was stern, and he looked at Xian Lin'er with sharp eyes.

"Yeah." Xian Lin'er opened her eyes and responded indifferently. Before anyone else could continue speaking, she quickly stood up, glanced around, and said slowly:

"I'd like to ask Dean Yan first, why is the quality of the ingredients our Soul Guidance Department received not even half of what we received last time? We weren't given a single thousand-year-old head, and the hundred-year-old ones only account for 15%. Not to mention the precious ingredients, the share is probably less than 10%?"

Hearing Xian Lin'er's calm tone, unlike the angry voice she used to call out her full name, Yan Shaozhe felt an inexplicable chill on his back. For some reason, he wanted to confront Xian Lin'er even more in her angry state.

Upon hearing this, the other elders immediately understood. It turned out that the Martial Soul Department was again withholding resources from the Soul Guidance Department. They had seen this kind of situation many times, and they estimated that they would start arguing again.

But, Xian Lin'er seems a little strange today?
