When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 225 Dealing with Traces
Huo Heng's body slumped limply into the chair.

He had no wounds on his body; anyone who didn't know better would think he was asleep.

Those eyes were glaring angrily, and the unseeing expression was a bit creepy.

Looking at Huo Heng's unseeing eyes, Bai Ze asked, "Luo Shu, do you think I should play the 'Rebirth Mantra' for him to dispel his resentment and prevent his ghost from lingering?"

Martial artists below the seventh star level will not linger, Master.

Below the seventh star level, martial artists only possess the soul and the spirit, not the soul and spirit. Only upon reaching the eighth star level, condensing the life soul based on the seven spirits, and achieving the fusion of soul and spirit, can one be considered to possess a true soul and spirit. Before this, death is like a lamp going out; there can be no lingering spirit.

[However, if Dean Lu Qiudi were to intervene, it might be possible to extract some deeply memorable memories from his dead brain. I suggest that the master destroy his brain.]

While explaining things to Bai Ze, Luo Shu also offered him advice.

"It's Lu Qiudi again. This person has too many areas of expertise."

Bai Ze never expected that his question would actually yield some results.

Lu Qiudi, the dean of the medical school, is a core member of the Wanji Medical Association and a well-known physician in Dongxia.

The "using qi to draw out poison" technique that Bai Ze used to deal with Xu Xiao was pioneered by Lu Qiudi.

In addition, she is skilled in Gu magic, but she does not control ordinary Gu insects, but various microorganisms.

Now, Bai Ze is being told that Lu Qiudi is even skilled in the field of brain-related matters.

It has to be said, this Dean Lu is quite versatile.

[Currently, only Dean Lu knows how to use this technique, and its success rate is low, with significant limitations. If the brain damage is severe, it will inevitably fail.]

Luo Shu explained the situation to Bai Ze, pointing out its advantages and disadvantages.

However, after hearing this, Bai Ze did not destroy Huo Heng's brain as Luo Shu had suggested.

"This may be good news."

He looked at Huo Heng's corpse and whispered, "Memory alteration."

The act of damaging the brain itself is a clue, indicating that Bai Ze knows Lu Qiudi can extract memories from a dead brain.

Therefore, Bai Ze simply used Lu Qiudi's technique to tamper with Huo Heng's last memory.

In this way, even if Lu Qiudi were willing to take action and use this low-success-rate technique to extract the memories, she wouldn't discover that it was Bai Ze who did it.

It might even provide more favorable evidence for Bai Ze.

Now, even if Huo Heng were to come back to life, he would have to admit that Bai Ze was innocent.

After doing all this, Bai Ze opened the door and walked out.

"Trace removal".

The traces and aura he left behind were all erased after he left, and he walked straight out of the Taoist Academy, leaving no trace of him on any of the surveillance cameras.

To prevent anyone from wandering around in the middle of the night, Bai Ze even activated optical invisibility.

And so, Bai Ze returned to his dormitory and slept soundly until dawn.

As for the invasion of the Ursus military, due to severe mental strain, it can only be postponed for the time being.

······
······
the next day.

Bai Ze got up early in the morning and went straight to the Yi Academy on the North Campus.

This time, he walked into Yi Academy openly and honestly, went to the dean's office, and met Ye Weiyang in real life for the first time.

In real life, Ye Weiyang also wears an antique-style long dress, all in a deep blue, and the interior decoration also leans towards classical style.

She sat behind the ebony desk, flipping through an ancient book.

Upon hearing Bai Ze's purpose, Ye Weiyang closed the ancient book and said, "The last time you came to me, it was to skip the opening ceremony to prepare for the Yujing Martial Arts Tournament. Now that the Yujing Martial Arts Tournament is over, you come to ask for leave again."

"I'm going to see my friend off on his final journey," Bai Ze said.

Bai Ze had been waiting for Luo Tao's funeral for several days; if he wasn't buried soon, it would be considered unlucky. Even if Luo Tao's body had actually been preserved in a cryogenic chamber the whole time, and the ashes being buried were fake...
"A friend you grew up with in the orphanage?"

Ye Weiyang said something that surprised Bai Ze: "Go."

Bai Ze looked surprised. "The Dean knows?"

"Mu Yaoguang requested satellites from Xinggong Chenyi Society more than ten days ago to search for Qianmian. Of course I know why she did this."

Ye Weiyang then revealed something that surprised Bai Ze.

In the past few days, Mu Yaoguang contacted Bai Ze twice, but never mentioned that she was currently tracking Qianmian.

For this purpose, they also used a private satellite from Star Instruments Co., Ltd.

A warm feeling welled up in Bai Ze's heart, and he said, "Thank you, Dean."

"No need to thank me. The sacrifice you made for the Yujing Martial Arts Tournament is also a sacrifice for the Yi Academy."

Ye Weiyang gently shook her head and said, "I also know the reason why your friend suffered misfortune. Xinggong Chenyi Society will continue to help you investigate Qianmian."

She didn't mention Yujing Martial Arts University, which clearly indicates that she knows Yujing Martial Arts University won't get involved in this matter, nor is it appropriate for them to.

Ye Weiyang was certainly willing to help Bai Ze, but Yujing Martial Arts University was not something Ye Weiyang could decide on her own.

"Thank you, Dean." Bai Ze said again.

In response, Ye Weiyang simply raised her eyes slightly, a strange light appearing in them, as if the starry sky was reflected in them.

Her eyes met Bai Ze's, and in that instant, Bai Ze felt as if his eyes had been stimulated, and a faint silver light appeared around his pupils.

"Da Cheng's 'Xuanji Guanxiang'..."

Ye Weiyang smiled and said, "Not bad."

After saying that, she lowered her head again and opened the ancient book in her hand.

Clearly, she was very satisfied with the progress of Bai Ze's "Xuanji Guanxiang".

And this is Bai Ze's best gift of gratitude.

Seeing this, Bai Ze didn't say anything more, but quietly went out the door.

Just as they stepped out of the dean's office, they were met by two young men in black uniforms.

That meticulous demeanor and solemn aura revealed the other person's identity to Bai Ze.

"Bai Ze."

The young man leading the group said, "I am Chang Hao, a member of the student council's disciplinary committee. May I ask where you were at 3 a.m. last night?"

"Is this an interrogation?" Bai Ze raised an eyebrow.

"It was just an inquiry."

Chang Hao said without changing his expression, "This morning, members of the Taoist Society discovered that Huo Heng, the president of the Taoist Society, had been murdered in the president's office. The disciplinary committee is assisting the school's security department in the investigation."

"Huo Heng is dead?"

Bai Ze showed a perfectly timed look of surprise, then laughed and said, "Good riddance, it saves me the trouble of going after him."

"I stayed in my dorm all night last night. I was too exhausted from the Jade Capital Martial Arts Tournament and the subsequent rebuilding of the White Jade Capital, so I slept through the night. Has the Disciplinary Committee found any clues pointing to me?"

"No, it's just a routine inquiry," Chang Hao said, sounding like a robot.

"I'm sorry, that's all I can say for now."

Bai Ze said, "I still need to see my friend off on his final journey, so I won't stay here any longer."

After saying that, Bai Ze left directly.

Neither of the two disciplinary committee members intervened.
