Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 206 Everyone gets what they need
"Research value?"

Liu Zhaochen interrupted him, a cold glint flashing in his crimson-gold pupils: "This is the crystallization of the wisdom of my ancestors in China, and the legacy left by my Liu family ancestors. Kassel College has overstepped its bounds."

Shudeya weakly raised her head, her voice soft yet carrying the insistence of an executive member: "According to the International Hybrid Resource Sharing Agreement..."

"protocol?"

Liu Zhaochen chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm: "That's the official way of putting it. In the land of China, some things can't be taken away with just a piece of paper."

"Moreover, this agreement was not signed voluntarily by us."

The atmosphere inside the car became somewhat tense for a moment.

Wang Ye interjected at the opportune moment, breaking the silence: "By the way, Brother Liu, where are we headed? We can't just chat in the car all night, can we?"

"Let's go somewhere quiet to talk."

Liu Zhaochen said calmly, "By the way, have the family physician examine this lady's injuries. Our Liu family wouldn't make things difficult for an injured person."

After all, in his eyes, Jiu Deya and Zhang Mao were now "hostages" who had been kidnapped, and these hostages naturally needed to be exchanged for sufficient ransom.

Moreover, this time Kassel College will give the Liu family an explanation.

The vehicle eventually drove into a modern Chinese-style manor located halfway up a mountain.

White walls and black tiles, hidden among trees, seemingly unassuming, but Wang Ye's golden eyes can keenly detect the faint fluctuations of the alchemical matrix in the air, as well as the many auras hidden in the shadows.

The level of defense here is far greater than it appears from the outside.

After getting off the car, people dressed in plain clothes immediately came forward and respectfully led Jiu Deya to receive treatment. Zhang Mao was also "invited" to another room to rest, and the silver box was naturally taken away by the Liu family.

Liu Zhaochen personally led Wang Ye through winding corridors to an elegant study. Tea sets were laid out on the mahogany desk, and the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

"Master Wang, please sit down."

Liu Zhaochen gestured for Wang Ye to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea. "Now that there are no outsiders, we can have an open and honest talk."

Wang Ye picked up the teacup, smelled the aroma, and praised, "Excellent tea."

However, they were not in a hurry to drink it.

"Is Master Wang's target Kassel College?" Liu Zhaochen asked bluntly.

"You can say that."

Wang Ye put down his teacup. "I'm very interested in their internal information, especially regarding alchemy. By the way, I'll cause them a little trouble, nothing serious."

Liu Zhaochen stared into Wang Ye's eyes; those golden pupils were calm and deep, revealing no trace of falsehood.

"Kassel College has a deep foundation, Norma monitors the world, the executive department is full of experts, and there is also an old monster like Angers in charge. Although the Taoist priest is strong, he will probably have a hard time succeeding alone."

"So, we're looking for an opportunity to cooperate with the local bigwigs."

Wang Ye smiled like a fox, "The Liu family probably doesn't like Kassel having too much freedom within China, right? Maybe we can each get what we need."

Liu Zhaochen tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "You need an identity, an identity that allows you to legitimately enter Kassel College and access core information. And we do need some information from within the college."

"Oh?" Wang Ye raised an eyebrow.

"In recent years, the academy has been increasingly active in China, excavating historical sites and recruiting people. We want to know their true purpose and how much they have taken away from China."

A sharp glint flashed in Liu Zhaochen's eyes. "We can help you get unexpectedly discovered and recruited by Kassel College. In return, we need you to obtain information from within the college, especially regarding the Shenzhou Project."

Wang Ye stroked his chin: "Sounds good. But how can I be sure the identity you gave me is safe enough, and that Norma won't investigate it thoroughly?" "The Liu family has been operating for a thousand years, so they have that much foundation."

Liu Zhaochen's tone was filled with absolute confidence: "We will weave a flawless past for you. No matter how strong Norma is, she cannot exhaust all the paper records and human memories in this world."

"Deal." Wang Ye readily extended his hand. "Pleasure doing business with you."

Liu Zhaochen looked at the outstretched hand, smiled slightly, and shook it in return: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Master Wang. I hope you won't let us down."

The two hands are separated at the touch of a finger.

Liu Zhaochen stood at the study window, looking in the direction Wang Ye had gone. His crimson-gold pupils flashed, and an old man appeared silently behind him.

"Young Master, are you really comfortable letting this person of unknown origin go to Kassel?"

Liu Zhaochen picked up the cup of tea that Wang Ye hadn't touched and took a small sip.

"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. Besides, why not do something that can easily cause trouble for Kassel College?"

He paused, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

------

The cooperation between Wang Ye and Liu Zhaochen can only be described as a temporary mutually beneficial arrangement. This relationship is very fragile, and both parties can break the contract at any time. Wang Ye is also unlikely to abide by it indefinitely.

However, Liu Zhaochen did indeed keep his promise to Wang Ye, providing not only a legitimate identity but also a large sum of money for his activities.

As for Jiudeya and Zhang Mao, it should be as fate would have it, with Angers paying a price to redeem them.

Of course, their memories of Wang Ye were erased. As a family with a thousand-year history, the Liu family naturally had some unknown methods.

As for Wang Ye's new identity...

A high school student at Shilan Secondary School.

Don't forget, Wang is also a manifestation of the original being's thoughts, so his age is naturally the same as the original being's.

-----

Before he knew it, Wang Ye had been studying at Shilan Middle School for more than half a month. "Coincidentally," he was in the same class as Chu Zihang.

That night, a sudden downpour began.

Chu Zihang stood by the window and dialed a phone. Outside, the rain poured down, shrouding the world in a gray, misty haze, and the distant streets were blurred indistinct.

A short while later, he silently put away his phone, picked up his schoolbag, and walked towards the classroom door. The corridor was empty; most students had already been picked up by their parents, with only a few still waiting.

"Couldn't get through?"

A slightly lazy voice came from behind.

Chu Zihang turned around and saw Wang Ye leaning against the wall, twirling a black umbrella in his hand. He had appeared there at some point, as if he had blended into the shadows of the corridor.

"No, it's connected."

Chu Zihang gave a brief reply, saying nothing more. He was always taciturn and knew very little about this transfer student who had suddenly joined the class half a month ago.

All I know is that his name is Wang Ye, his grades are average, he often daydreams in class but always manages to avoid the teacher's questions, he seems to be popular, but there is always a subtle sense of detachment about him.

Just as Wang Ye turned to leave, Chu Zihang suddenly called out to him.
